Last Time…
He blushed and with a new sense of bravery, leaned down and gently brushed his lips against Yui's. When she gasped he took that as his chance and deepend the kiss by snaking his tongue between her lips. He held her face in his hands, as Yui wrapped hers around his neck, bringing him closer to her.
Tamahome sighed into the kiss. Yui smiled to herself. She finally had Tamahome within her grasp. A gasp broke them apart as they both looked up into a pair of shocked eyes.
"Kuso..."exclaimed Tamahome.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
He glanced at the hooded figure and stood up, standing in front of Yui.
"What do you want?" he asked. His arms outstretched to protect Yui, should this person attack.
The stranger glanced to their sides. Making sure that no one was is listening range they spoke.
"My name is Haku Kaen, and I'm here because Lady Tsukino sent me to find Lady Yui." Yui moved Tamahome's arm out of the way and stepped towards Haku.
"Usa-chan sent you after me?" Haku just nodded. Yui smiled.
"Tell her I'm on my way." With a slight tilt of the head, Haku turned and left to deliver the message.
Turning to Tamahome, Yui extended her hand.
"Care to join me?" Tamahome smiled and took Yui's hand into his own. Tightening her hand around his, Yui moved closer and placed her head on his shoulder.
"So…tell me about this Usa-chan" Tamahome asked as he glanced down at Yui's face.
"Well...she's very kind, and she'll do anything to help a friend if need-be. She's like an older sister to me. Always there for me, never putting me down. Sometimes I wonder if it's all a dream...ya know? If one day I'll wake up and this is all a dream. To find out that Usagi never came and..." Yui whispered, a small tear escaping.
Tamahome stopped and turned Yui towards her. He embraced her, nuzzling his cheek against her head.
"Sssshh…" he said Yui hugged him, burying her face into his chest. Her knees let out and Yui collapsed to the ground.
"Yui!" Tamahome swiftly picked her up and started to walk/run towards the Qu-Dong palace.
~*~*~*~*~*~
Usagi glanced and saw Haku. A small smile graced her face.
"Did you find her?"
"Hai, she said that she would be here soon." Usagi bowed.
"Arigatou Kaen-san" Haku bowed back. Usagi went back to look out for her young friend.
The sky began to darken as the sun set in the west. Usagi was about to go inside when a running Tamahome advanced to her.
"Usagi-san!" he called out, Yui still in his arms. Letting out a shocked cry, Usagi ran forward, and stopped in front of the Suzaku seishi.
"What happened?"
"She passed out from exhaustion."
"Take her inside and tell Nakago to have the servants call for the doctor." Tamahome nodded and went in.
~*~*~*~*~*~
(Warning: Ooc for Nakago!)
Her room glowed softly, candle lit throughout the entire place. The flames flickering from the soft breeze.
She let out a heavy sigh; the doctor had arrived and proclaimed that Yui had a fever. Gazing up at the sky, the stars twinkled in the darkness, her eyes settling on the moon.
'Mother Selene…please help Yui get over the fever quickly.'
Warm arms slithered around her waist, pulling her against a lean body.
"Nakago…" she whispered. Soft lips descended down onto her neck, showering it with butterfly kisses.
She let out a soft whimper, rolling her head back. He carefully lifted her up and walked towards her bed, setting her down softly on it. Kissing her softly he caressed her cheek, holding her lips to his. His tongue snacked passed his lips and licked the corners of hers.
Parting her lips Usagi brought his head closer, deepening the kiss. Her tongue rubbed against his and his massaging hers. Their tongues battling. His hands roamed her body, mapping out every curve and indent. Resting his hands on her chest, feeling he rise and fall, her steady breathing.
His hand cupping her breast through the material, thumb grazing her nipple, sending a tingly feeling down her spine. Thrusting her chest forward, Usagi closed her eyes, relaxing under Nakago's touch.
He smiled at her, kissing her lips, to her jaw, and to her neck. Licking at the sensitive flesh, his teeth grazing and nipping. She whimpered, her fingers running through his fair hair. Sitting up, Nakago pulled Usagi to him, and carefully removed her shirt.
Blushing, Usagi quickly covered her chest with her arms. Chuckling lightly, Nakago lowered her arms.
"Don't be so shy…you have a beautiful body." Nakago said. Usagi lowered her eyes, unable to look at Nakago. He chuckled again and took her chin in his fingers, raising her head. His eyes closed and his face inching closer, closing the distance. Usagi watched and licked her lips in anticipation.
She could feel his hot breath surrounding her. She leaned in and pressed her lips against his. She moaned into the kiss when she felt his hands grab for her. She grabbed his shirt and pulled him down onto her. Wrapping her legs around his waist. Nakago let out a small moan, loving the feeling of his body pressed against hers.
"Usagi…" He whispered. They were so into their act that the door opening went unnoticed till a voice cleared its throat.
"Ahem…"
Both snapped out and turned to the blushing and annoyed face of Hotaru. Usagi let out a yelp, and buried her face in Nakago's chest. He pulled the covers around them and sat up, smirking to her.
"Yes? Is there anything we can do for you?" Hotaru blushed.
"I…um…came to tell you t-t-that Yui-san's awake…" Usagi peeked out.
"Honto ni?"
"Hai"
"Sugoi! I'll be out in a moment." Hotaru took that as a dismissal and exited the room.
Nakago watched as Usagi left the bed and began to re-cloth herself. He couldn't help but chuckle.
"What's so funny?"
"Nothing, it's just that Yui-sama is lucky to have a friend like you." Usagi blushed. He chuckled.
"Well, I'll be going now. Ja Nakago…"
"Ja, tell Yui I said hello."
The sound of Usagi's answer echoed through the hall.
"I will!!"
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Usagi opened the door to Yui's room and silently walked in. The lights were dim as the candles began to flicker in and out of existence. She smiled at the scene before her.
The bodies of Yui and Tamahome wrapped in an embrace, legs intertwined hands holding one another, and Yui's head resting in the crook of his neck. Their steady breathing filled the quiet room.
Deciding that they needed sleep, Usagi stepped out of the room and headed towards the garden.
~*~*~*~*~*~
He watched her, watched every move she made. His mission was to find Tamahome and that lead him to her.
She held a beauty that Hotohori and Nuriko didn't. But what made this girl so fascinating? He pondered.
Shaking his head he remembered why he was here. He had seen Tamahome leave and head for the forest. When he didn't come back Miaka had sent him after the money-grabber.
Sighing he began to move closer to the palace when he stepped on a twig and drew attention to himself.
He glanced to see if the beauty had noticed and let out a breath, thinking she had entered before the twig snapped.
"May I help you?"
Closing his eyes he chuckled. Figures.
"Err…well…I've come looking for my friend…He goes by the name of Tamahome." He figured that me might as well get a clue to where he was.
"He's asleep at the moment but you're welcome to stay until he wakes up." He was caught off guard. Why wasn't she screaming for the guards? Maybe she didn't know who he was. Yea! That's it! She didn't know who he was.
"Arigatou." He got up from the ground and bowed to her.
"Watashi wa Houjun Ri, but you may call me Chichiri." She smiled at him and bowed back.
"Atashi wa Tsukino Usagi. Follow me," she grabbed his hand and lead him inside, "I'm sure you're hungry ne?"
"Hai" They entered the kitchen and Usagi asked for a plate of food.
Sitting at the table, he gazed at Usagi. Watching her again. He found Tamahome, so there was no need to keep himself from this woman.
Usagi placed the plate of food and a mug of Sake before him. He nodded his thanks and took a sip of the Sake.
"If you know Tamahome, then you must also be Suzaku seishi." His eyes widened and he let out a strangled gasp as the sake traveled down the wrong tube.
"H-How do you know about Tamahome?" came out the rasp question. She just smiled and winked to him.
"I'll tell you later. But for now…eat!"
Chichiri just looked at her. Usagi placed her hands on her hips and stared at him. He gave in and soon was consumed with the need to feed.
