Tohru sighed contentedly as she lay on the folding chair on the ship's deck. The dinner they had served had been absolutely delicious, and she had to admit, it was nice to have a break from cooking. Not to mention those yummy, fudgy brownies. Mmm, brownies. The sky was a deep violet color, as it slowly faded into night, and the first stars could be seen twinkling above her. Yuki appeared behind her and handed her a cold glass of juice. "Thanks Yuki-kun," Tohru said sitting up. "You really didn't have to get that for me though."

"Hmm, well I can always think of various ways you can repay me," Yuki mused sitting beside her.

"Oh really?" Tohru asked laughing. "What ever could you mean Yuki-kun?"

"Well let's see," Yuki said putting a hand to his chin. "You can always give me one of these," he murmured leaning forward and kissing her on the nose, "or one of those," he added pressing his lips against her mouth. He pulled away, smiling fondly at her. "There."

"So, now we're even I hope," Tohru grinned taking a sip of her juice. "If you wanted more, then you should have put one of those cool umbrella thingys in my drink."

"You're absolutely right!" Yuki gasped, exaggerating a shocked expression. "What was I thinking!" He wrapped his arms around her, pulling her close and pressing his cheek against hers. "Please forgive me!" he cried. "How can I ever make it up to you!"

"Agh, stop Yuki-kun!" Tohru exclaimed, laughing as she tried to keep her drink balanced. "I'm going to spill it!"











Shigure smiled, shaking his head. "Look at them Aya. Its kind of cute, don't you think."

"Of course it is," Ayame sobbed, wiping a tear away with a tissue. "My little brother's all grown up now. Its absolutely adorable."

"Uh oh," Shigure muttered backing away, quickly tucking his camera into his kimono. "I think we've been spotted."

Yuki glared up at them angrily, his cheeks flushed. "Damn it you two! Don't you have anything better to do than spy on us!"

"Nope!" Ayame shouted putting his hands on his waist and throwing his head back in laughter. "We just love watching you two reproduce!"

"Agh!" Yuki moaned putting his hand to his head. "I hate you both!"

"We know you love us," Shigure sighed, suddenly appearing behind Yuki and placing a hand on his shoulder. Tohru jumped up from her seat in shock and Yuki's eyes bulged out of his head.

"What the hell!" Yuki exclaimed punching the dog in the face. "How dare you sneak up on me!"

"Wheee!" Shigure sang as he went soaring through the air to the other side of the boat. "Come fly with me Aya!"

"As you can see," Ayame shouted as Yuki tossed him away as well. "I'm already joining you!"

"I don't believe this," Yuki retorted, his eyes twitching after he had disposed of the snake and dog. "If I find them watching us one more time, I swear I'll kill them."

"Well, let's not be too harsh on them," Tohru said uncertainly. "I mean, you don't want to actually murder them, do you?"

"Oh yes I do," Yuki muttered annoyed. "I mean, is a little privacy to much to ask for?"

"No, its not too much to ask for," Tohru grinned placing a finger on his lips. "But its all right. We can't always expect things to be perfect."

"You're right," Yuki said smiling. Somehow she always managed to make him feel calm and warm inside. Just like the brightness she carried with her, that lit his darkest hour. Tohru was his light and he was never going to let her go.










Kagura left her room, breathing in the night air. Maybe she should visit Kyo and ask him to walk around the deck with her. Even though, if she thought about it too hard, she wouldn't have to wonder too much about what his answer would be. No! You damned woman! Go back to your room! I don't feel like it! That was a typical Kyo answer for you. Sometimes she even questioned whether he thought about his answers first or just spouted out the first rude thing that popped into his head.

But this was why Kagura preferred not pondering these types of things too long. It made it easier to just go ahead and ask the guy, have him say no, then drag him outside anyway against his will. If she didn't, he'd probably never leave his room at all.

The closer she came to his room, the harder her heart began to pound in her chest. She always had this same nervous feeling every time she was going to see him. Rapping quickly on his door, she waited for an answer. When none came, she looked around uncertainly before pushing the door open herself.

"Kyo-kun," she called quietly looking around the dark room. "Are you here?" Stumbling around without light was impossible, and she fumbled with the lamp beside the door, flicking it on. The pale, golden light it gave off filled the room immediately and Kagura could make out Kyo's sleeping form on his bed, snoring softly.

Wow, he goes to sleep so early. She made her way quietly to Kyo and sat beside him on the bed. Leaning over him, she kissed him softly on the cheek and rested her head on his broad shoulder. He was so warm...












"What a sad song," Tohru said softly gazing out into the dark water.

Yuki looked at her carefully, the reflection of the waves dancing off her deep, blue eyes. "What song?"

"Don't you hear it? The ones the whales are singing. It sounds so sad."

"All I can hear is the water crashing against the ship."

Tohru turned to him and smiled as she cupped her hands behind his ears to magnify the sounds. "Now close your eyes and listen."

He did so and was surprised when he realized she was right. Behind his closed lids, he could hear a low murmur echoing in his ears, followed by soft groaning and cries. "You're right," he said in awe. "They're singing."

"Its so beautiful and melancholy," Tohru mused. "It makes you want to cry."

"Please don't cry," Yuki said resting his chin on her head. "When I see you cry, it makes my heart hurt."

"Then I won't," Tohru promised, beaming happily at him. "Because I only cry when I'm sad and I'm never sad when I'm with you."

"That's good," Yuki murmured, pressing his lips against her hair. "Because I always want to see you smile."













Kyo opened his eyes groggily. Why was his shoulder bothering him? And who turned on his light? The pale lamp seemed like a blazing sun to his unadjusted eyes, and he groaned, squinting until they focused in the harsh brightness. He was quite shocked to see Kagura, having fallen asleep leaning against him, and struggled to sit up. Her hair fell messily over her face as he gently lifted her off him and lay her back on his bed.

Kagura's sleeping face looked so peaceful, her lips slightly parted, and Kyo felt himself blushing. When had he begun feeling this way? He couldn't even remember anymore. Lifting his hand toward her, he brushed the strands of hair from her eyes and tucked them behind her ear. Kagura could be pretty damn cute.









Yuki leaned forward, kissing Tohru tenderly on the lips as they leaned against the railing of the ship. He couldn't hold back anymore. She was too beautiful. Closing his eyes, he wrapped his arms around her waist, slipping his hands under her shirt and resting them on her back.

Returning his kisses, Tohru didn't even notice as that they were blindly making their way to Yuki's room. Stumbling through the door, he slipped his tongue between her lips, sensually tracing the curves of her mouth. They broke away momentarily, breathing heavily and Tohru looked up at Yuki as he gently pushed her back in bed. Smiling at him, she put a hand to his cheek, pulling his face closer. He covered her lips with his mouth, and she was lost again.

"I love you," Yuki whispered urgently against her flesh. "I love you so much." He pulled off her shirt, running his hands over her flushed skin.

"Then show me," Tohru murmured as she unbuttoned his shirt. Kissing his chest, she leaned her cheek against him, breathing in his warmth.

Yuki tangled his fingers in her hair as he kissed the top of her head. If only I could hold her in my arms. That was his one true wish. Placing a finger on her chin, he tilted her head up and kissed her lips again. This was enough. Even if he couldn't embrace her, this was enough. His hand slipped under her skirt and into her underwear, cupping her mound in his hand and rubbing gently. She moaned with pleasure and he continued.

Tohru felt her cheeks flush brighter as he stroked. It embarrassed her to admit it but it felt good. It felt so good. She cried out in ecstasy as he slipped a finger in and slowly worked it in and out of her. Then he seemed to hit a spot that made fire dance in front of her and her back arched slightly in response. Yuki realized he had found something special and placing a second finger in, stroked that spot again. "Oh my god Yuki!" Tohru cried. "Oh my god."

Yuki couldn't hold back anymore. He needed to be inside her. He needed to feel her against him. Removing his pants, he pulled down her underwear, hiking her skirt up to her waist, and rested himself over her, his arms on either side to make sure their torsos did not touch. His manhood slid inside easily, much easier than it had the first time and he moaned at the sensation she gave him. She felt hot and tight around his throbbing member, and Yuki thought he may die from the pleasure it gave him.

Thrusting forward, Yuki's hips pushed into Tohru's. "Yuki!" she moaned, wrapping her legs around him. Straddling his thighs, she pulling him closer, plunging him deeper. She wanted more. She wanted all of him. They continued moving against each other, heat hanging in a cloud over them as they rhythmically pushed into one another.

"Tohru," Yuki gasped. He could feel it. He was going to release his seed... and that might be bad. At the last moment, he pulled out, his semen spurting onto the mattress. Lifting himself off her, he fell to the side, sweat running down his forehead.

"Yu...Yuki-kun," Tohru began in wonder as she looked at him, panting heavily. "Why did you pull out like that?"

"I'm sorry," he murmured kissing her damp forehead. "But I've been selfish. It suddenly occurred to me that this time, and the first time we didn't use protection. I don't want you to get pregnant."

"Y.. you're right," Tohru gasped sitting up. "I... I wasn't even thinking about that."

"Guess we'll have to play it safe from now on," he grinned.

Tohru nodded and lay her head on his shoulder. "How embarrassing," she squealed covering her face with her hands. "I don't want to be the one going into the store to buy them."
