* Sigh * this was a hard chapter to write my nasty little mind kept moving me towards another story but I threatened it with another q-tip and its quieted down. Any who I can't remember if I said this but..I don't own any of the characters from the show only the ones I make up and even then I'm not sure.so enjoy =^-^=

She could feel the warm sun on her skin a cool breeze whispered to her calling for her to wake up. Slowly she opened her eyes and found herself gazing down at her sleeping lover. His red hair blowing slightly in the light breeze he shifted slightly his hand pulling her closer to him and snuggling up against her( Aww.how sweet) Ella smiled down at him her fingers brushing against his face tracing his jaw ..

Slowly running down his chest down into his pants. Grabbing his quivering member she began to rub her hand slowly up and down it spitting on it for lubrication. He awoke to the sight of a beautiful girl stroking his hard penis. Without hesitation he grabbed her by the back of her neck and forced her to swallow it whole. Nearly suffocating she slowly got used to the rhythm of the up and down motion and didn't stop until her partner had a satisfying orgasm. The sweet taste still lingered in her mouth as she kissed her lover on the lips and swapped some of his "spit" with that of her own. How could he pay her back? He ran his fingers down her torso... ( a very naughty person who shall remain anonymous lest his parents find out about this wrote this little tidbit)

Aikido slowly opened her eyes she was staring up at a white ceiling the soft hum of the fan spinning above her. She blinked a couple times and rolled to her side, it was already dark out. She bolted up and began to panic what about Nani and the twins? What had she been doing for the last nine hours anyway? She felt something warm brush up against her thigh and she turned her head only to find herself staring down into the sleeping face of Shigure Sohma.

Aikido: Oh Fuck! And I yelled at Ella for not controlling herself, oh boy

Shigure shifted snuggling closer to Aikido's leg his arms snaking around her. A jolt of electricity shot through her body. She could feel his desire and hunger have almost faded away but there was something else that was lingering that she was unsure of.

Aikido: I wonder what that last feeling is?

Shigure groaned as the feel of soft cool fingers brushed against his face. He opened his eyes to be greeted by his raven-haired angel staring down at him looking a little confused. He shifted and sat up resting on his elbow and watched her for a moment.

Shigure: Good morning

Aikido: Its nighttime

Shigure: Really? Well then we should be getting back to bed.

Aikido blushed slightly at this but took a deep breath and looked him in the eyes.

Aikido: Can I ask you something?

Shigure just nodded his eyes never leaving hers a light smile playing at his lips. Aikido began to nibble on her lip before she spoke.

Aikido: Why did you * blushes furiously * I mean I know why you did but was that the only reason we * blushes again * um..

Shigure gave a slight chuckle laughter sparkling in his brown eyes as he gazed up at his angel. She seemed to be a little unsure and he didn't blame her they had only met a few times and not long enough for anything like this to have happened. But he couldn't explain it part of it was his inu half wanting this needing this and the other part well that was a little harder to explain.

Aikido: Shigure?

He glanced up she was leaning towards him the sheets sliding off her creamy white thighs exposing her lower half to him. She was exquisite no doubt about it she was also very smart, kind, caring, protective, he could go on. She seemed to be everything he though he would never have and when he came across her he wanted her and no one else.

Aikido: Shigure?

Shigure: Aiki why do you think I had sex with you?

She blushed even harder then before her eyes darting away from his finding the bedding more interesting.

Aikido: Um.well its .uh.kind of hard to explain.

Shigure: Try me

Aikido sat quietly for a moment try to figure away to tell him she was able to sense what he felt just by touching him by touching anybody. He shifted so he was now on his knees his fingers brushing against the small of her back. Aikido gave a slight shiver from the sensation it was creating.

Aikido: Ok.you know how a dog can sense things like fear and danger and stuff like that?

Shigure: Yeah.

He was looking at her a little curious about where this was going.

Aikido: Well, what if I said I was able to do the exact same thing only I could feel it.

Shigure didn't say anything he just sat there his brown eyes searching hers it was making Aikido a little uncomfortable. She had never told anyone outside the family this and the only other person who she wanted to tell betrayed her.

Shigure: Really? So..you would know what I'm feeling right now?

Aikido nodded slowly.

Shigure: How?

Aikido slowly raised her hand to his face and brushed against his slightly she blushed even more her eyes reflecting the desire he felt.

Shigure: Aiki

Aikido: * cough *

She glances away looking rather embarrassed and hungry the fire sparking again after touching him. Shigure noticed this and smiled slightly so his little angel could feel his emotions just by touching him eh? No wonder she was so responsive from his touches that would also explain that wonderful feeling he had felt when they both had orgasm together.

Shigure: well then that just makes it more interesting now doesn't it?

Aikido's head shot up to meet his eyes, they were warm and gently looking though they held a very dark fire that made her shiver slightly. So he wasn't angry or grossed out or going to run away from her. Aikido smiled and flung herself at him sending them flying backwards onto the bed.

Shigure: We had better get up and dressed to see what everyone else is doing

Aikido: Hai

A few moments later the two came out a little wrinkled and a little flushed and happy. They walked into the kitchen to find the to twins sitting at the table sulking.

Aikido: Anything wrong?

They didn't look up instead shot their gazes sideways. Aikido and Shigure followed their eyes to find Nani cooking dinner with a rather pleased smile on her face.

Aikido: Nani what's going on?

Nani: Don't worry I didn't hurt them, well physically anyway.

She pulled the pot off the stove and placed it on the table then sat down and began to serve the stew.

Nani: I set and extra spot for you're _ friend _ hope you don't mind.

Aikido blushed and Shigure just grinned.

Aikido: No but why are they so quiet and you're happy its really suspicious.

Nani: oh just a little threat nothing serious but quiet damaging, any who where's Ella I called for her and couldn't find her in her room.

Aikido: Not in her room.

Shigure glanced at Aiki she looked a little upset then it disappeared and she smiled and laughed making the twins glance up.

Aikido: I don't think she'll be joining us until she's hungry and even then I can't be too sure.

Mira: Oh so that's

Mizu: where she's

Mira: been.

Nani: What? Did I miss something?

Aikido just shook her head telling Nani she would fill her in later.

~~

It had been three weeks and so far Aikido was as happy as a clam maybe even more. She had found someone who accepted her for who and what she was and loved her. She was also happy for Ella though she still was somewhat angry at her for disobeying her it couldn't be helped she thought Ella was too stubborn to listen.

*Ring *

Aikido: Nani, will you answer that!

*Ring *

Aikido: Nani!

*RING *

Annoyed from being disturbed Aikido jumped up and walked to the door and opened it.

Aikido: What do *gasp * Riko?

Riko: Hey Aiki

Aikido: Riko!

Aikido rushed forward and embraced the other girl crushing her in a hug.

Riko: Nice to see you too!

She hugged her then pulled away she knew that any longer and Aiki would know what she was feeling and start to question her. Aiki ushered her into the house and the two sat down at the kitchen table.

Aikido: What are you doing here? I though you where going to America?

Riko: Yeah about that- there was a change in plans.

Aikido: I'm so happy you're here now we just need to get Uzume and we can really have some fun

Riko: Hmm. that would be interesting might cause another scandal.

The two burst out laughing remembering the last time the three of them were together it was rather fun watching the family fret and worry and making fun of Yui was always a plus.

The two were sitting down reminiscing when the twins walked in they were both drenched in water and neither one looked rather pleased.

Aikido: Mira, Mizu what happened to you two?

Mira: I warned you not to provoke them but you wouldn't listen

Mizu: I told you nothing bad would happen and not to butt in

Mira: Nothing bad? You call this * points to wet clothes * nothing bad?!

Mizu: Well if you would have just kept your mouth shut

Mira: you were the one spouting off again

Mizu: yeah but I can back up what I say can you

The two girls stood glaring at each other with Aikido and Riko staring at them a little confused.

Riko: Still doesn't tell us what happened

The two girls turned around all thoughts of earlier slipping from their minds.

Both: Cousin Riko!

The leapt forward and hugged there older cousin happy to see her again.

Mira: We are so

Mizu: happy that you

Mira: are here.

Riko pulled back slightly and smiled at the twins her eyes dancing with laughter at her younger cousins

Riko: Glad to be here besides I need a vacation anyways.

Aikido arched a brow

Aikido: So Henry doesn't know you left?

Riko just smiled and stuck out her tongue

Riko: No

Mira: He'll be

Mizu: so worried

All three laughed picturing Henry going crazy trying to find Riko and not being able to locate her.

Aikido: You should call him you know how he gets besides don't you have a lecture to do?

Riko: Nope * fingers crossed * but I should go I still have to unpack and stuff

Mira: Will we

Mizu: see you

Both: tomorrow?

Riko: Sure why not, call me and tell me where to meet you, k?

Both: Hai!

Riko hugged them both then said good-bye to them and made her way home. Home was a small flat about four blocks away from the hospital it was perfect for her but she missed the compound even if she hated a couple of the inhabitants. She clicked the lights on walking inside and making her way to the bed room where she picked her way through the scattered clothes on the clothe then closed the bathroom door and started the shower tomorrow was going to be a long day.

~~

Hatori was rounding the corner towards the elevator; he had just finished seeing a patient of one of his collogues and was going home. He never practiced outside the Sohma house but this was a special occasion his friend had pleaded with him to check her, she was about eleven years old and she had been in and out of the hospital. None of the doctors knew what was wrong with her and his collogue was afraid he might be mistaken so he called Hatori to double check.

The doors slowly slid open and he stepped inside thinking about earlier. He had confirmed his friend's suspicions who then broke the news to her parents. The girl had been diagnosed with a rare medical condition, which attacked the lungs and heart weakening the body.

*Ding *

The doors slowly opened and a body collided with his.

~~

Riko had gone to the hospital to tell June that she would be gone for the entire day and since she only had one appointment she would take care of it later. Simple right, wrong with out her thinking about it Henry found her and started to pester her about a lecture. Riko ran as fast as her legs would take her to the nearest exit but he beat her to it.

Henry: Riko you have to speak at this lecture and you have a conference afterwards!

Riko: What are you talking about I have the day off besides you shouldn't have said yes with out asking me.

Henry: I asked you two months ago and you said yes

Riko: Well you shouldn't have listened to me * dashes down the hall and around the corner * how was I supposed to know what I was going to be doing today?

Henry: RIKO!

She had seen the elevator door open and jumped in landing against something hard.

Henry: Riko get back here!

With out thinking she lunged forward and hit a button closing the doors on Henry's distraught face. She fell down laughing unable to control herself.

~~

When the other person pulled away he saw it was a young girl she was about to apologize when she heard someone call for her, then she leapt forward and closed the doors on a very upset man. She was on the floor laughing her long blonde curly hair falling around her slender shoulders and heart shaped face. She had flawless golden skin and very full pouty lips; her eyes were a pale translucent green. She was dressed in a white pleated skirt with a red sleeveless hoodie.

Riko was laughing so hard that she completely forgot about the man she had bumped into until she heard him cough. She stopped laughing but her eyes were still shining from it, she looked up to apologize but it died on her lips. The man was dressed in a light gray suit, which fit him perfectly his dark brown hair hanging slightly over his eyes more so on the right side, eyes that were a very dark hunter green and staring at her.

She smiled sheepishly up at him then stood up dusting herself off.

Riko: Gomen nasai, I didn't mean to run into you it was just that-

She trailed off thinking about Henry and couldn't help the smile that played on her lips. He was going to say something to her but the elevator stopped and the doors opened.

Riko: Gomen, I didn't mean to make you ride again.

She bowed slightly her curls falling forwards brushing against her skin then she turned and left. ~~ Riko: Henry your just too fun to pick on

She laughed again but stopped.

Henry: Ri-ko you * pant * have to * huff * go to that * pant * lecture

Riko: Henry? You walked up * turns to elevator * seven flights of stairs?

Henry was bending over trying to catch his breath and could only shake his head. Riko couldn't hold back the laughter anymore just thinking of Henry running up all those stairs broke her resolve and she began to laugh again.

Hatori was walking towards the entrance/exit when he heard someone shouting behind him. He turned slightly to see the same blonde girl running towards him a smile on her face.

Henry: Riko! Get back here you have a lecture to go to!

Riko: Sorry Henry but I don't know what you're talking about

Riko turned back around to see she was about to collide with that man from the elevator again.

Riko: Uh-oh

Just before she slammed into him she ran faster and slide between his legs and out the door jumping up and running away laughing. The older gentleman collided with Hatori though.

Henry: Kuso! Dam it Riko!

He slouched forward and shook his head rubbing his temples with his fingers.

Henry: Gomen nasai

Hatori: It's all right.

~~~

Riko didn't stop running until she was as far away from the hospital as possible and even then she kept on walking.

Riko: Henry you are too much.

Shaking her head making her curls bounce around she sighs and takes in a deep breath of air a small smile touching her lips.

Riko: I wonder where I am?

Riko glances up and looks around

Riko: Ugh, I don't recognize anything. Well never had a good sense of direction, oh well.

Shrugging her shoulders Riko wanders down the street glancing in every shop window seeing what they have. She stops in front have a shop (Ayame's) and peers in the window at the clothing.

Riko: O! That would look good on Aikido. Hmm..i wonder if they have anything for Uzume and me?

Riko opens the door and walks in and glances around the shop, nothing out of the ordinary just a simple fabric store. Pouting Riko turns to leave when a voice stops her.

Mine: Can I help you Miss?

Riko turns around to see a young brunette with glasses perched on her nose she was wearing a very small and very tight stewardesses outfit.

Riko: Oro?

Mine: My name's Mine nice to meet you.

Riko: Hello.

Mine: Are you here for some fabric or to buy a dress or have one made?

Riko: Actually I saw that outfit in the window and was wondering what else you had in here.

Mine: That outfit would really look good on you would you like to try it on?

Riko: Try it on?

Riko begins to laugh causing the brunette to look at her funny.

Riko: I wasn't thinking of it for me but for a friend.

Mine: Oh! Gomen then could you tell me-

Ayame: Mine what do you think, should I go with deep purple or royal blue for the-

Both girls turned just as Ayame comes out of the back room holding up some fabric.

Mine: I think the deep purple would go good for that outfit

Ayame: You're right but I don't know something isn't right it looks-

Ayame looks up and stops his eyes resting on the two women before him. One is his assistant Mine but the other is a young lady with long curly blonde hair and warm translucent green eyes.

Ayame: Oh my! an Angel has walked into my shop!

Riko can only just stand there and laugh as the handsome silver haired man runs around the shop.

Ayame: Oh your laughter is like that of a song * claps her hands * and your eyes are refreshing pools and your hair, its like the sun itself. You must be an angel for no human can possible look like this.

Riko: Please *laughs * your making my sides hurt * laughs *

Ayame: My name is Ayame and I'm the owner of this shop and the designer and this is my assistant Mine * points to a waving Mine * and who are you my lovely angel.

Riko: The name is Moriko Mizuryuu but just call me Riko.

Ayame: Ah so you're a forest spirit. You have enchanted me.

Riko giggles again and shakes her head sending her curls bouncing all over.

Riko: I was wondering.ano that is I saw all those wonderful designs and .ano..would you be able to that is if you have time to design something for me?

Ayame's eyes light up and him and Mine begin to scream jump up and down and race around the store talking about a million things at once leaving Riko a little overwhelmed.

Riko: Can I take that as a yes?

Ayame: This is wonderful a beautiful sprite wants to wear my designs, I have just the thing for you. O! but this would look so much better or..

Mine: How about this one * holds up a black maid's uniform * or this one * pink bunny costume * Riko : Actually the outfits aren't for me at all but my friends Aiki and Uzume.

Ayame: Not for you?

Mine: Friends?
