Chapter Six: Ai no Yami (Night of Love)
The following day, she barely got herself out of bed and groaned. The next day sores of battles like this always had taken their tolls on her. She went to the mirror, and sighed. "Man... I look like hell!" she said out loud to herself. She shed what bloody clothes she wore from the night before off, and slowly stepped into the shower.
The water felt warm and inviting as she let its cool waves of warm, soothing heat flow over every part of her body. Her mind went back to thinking about what had happened between her and Ken... and the kiss... the to where she received quite a beating. She closed her eyes, feeling the tears well up in them. All she could do for that moment, was cry.
She stepped out of the shower, and changed her clothes, .oO(Maybe I'll go down to the seaside....it was always so peaceful down there.... Especially when okaa-sama used to take me there when I was a child....) She got on her bike she recently purchased, making sure her Angel helmet was on tightly, and took off to the seaside.
* * *
When she got there, she saw a familiar boy standing there, his eyes looking out over the ocean, his demeanor giving off of loneliness and sadness. .oO(It's Omi..... why is he here...?) she thought to herself as she slowly approached him. She gently touched his shoulder, "....Omi-kun...."
Omi turned around quickly, his eyes were shown that they were full of tears. "....Yumi....chan..." he said with a small hint of surprise. He turned his head quickly to wipe the tears from them. "What are you doing here...?"
Yumi stood next to him, placing her chin on her folded up arms, and looked out into the beautiful oceanscape. "I could be asking you the same....what's bothering you Omi-kun?" she smiled down at him, "....I don't like to see such a happy young man seem so troubled...."
Omi took a deep breath, and for some strange reason that he could never find himself to say, told her everything about the one that he missed a lot.... Oka. He knew he missed Oka with all his heart... and wished they had had more time; instead of her life being cut short because of her death.
Yumi listened to everything he said, remembering a little about her sister; Oka. She never got to see Oka at all, and wished she had gotten to meet her. She nodded, as she gently placed her hands on his shoulders, "I know how it is Omi....." She then gently ran a finger down his face, "...But we have to be brave....ne?"
Omi, unable to comprehend why he felt so strongly close to Yumi just stared at her in shock, "....Yumi-chan...." He then found himself hugging her instinctively, and began to cry on her shoulder.
Yumi just held him tightly, and smoothed his hair, feeling some tears well up in her own eyes. "Shhhhh.... Omi-kun.... Shhh..." she soothed as she held him. After a few moments, she then looked at him, "Come on, I'll give you a ride back to the shop, I bet the others are wondering what happened to you." She gave him a spare mini-helmet to wear, and grinned, "Come on! It'll be fun." She edged on as she winked at him.
Omi blinked twice, then smiled and nodded. He strapped on the helmet, and the two of them rode back to the flower shop.
* * *
Ken was standing outside, watering the flowers that hung in the baskets, when he turned to look at the bike that pulled up towards them. His mouth dropped open in a sort of awe as he said without thinking, "Yumi! Where did you get that bike??"
Yumi giggled a little, and blushed, "I sort of purchased it. After that one ride... I couldn't resist..." she then let Omi get off, and whispered, "Remember... goki gen yo.... ne, Omi-kun?" she whispered as she winked.
Omi nodded, and smiled, "Hai.....Arigatou Yumi-chan." He said in thanks as he looked at the two of them, and could notice something in the air. He smiled to himself, and walked over to the hose Ken held, and took over his job for him, giving Ken a silent nudge away from what he was doing.
She laughed as she watched how Ken just stared at her, surprised to see her still on the bike, as she smiled, "Care to go for a ride Ken-kun? It's a good day out on the back roads..." She strapped her helmet on, looked back at Ken and grinned, "Come on Ken-san! Don't make me beat you...." she joked.
Ken grinned, enjoying a challenge on motorcycles, and ran to get on his bike, strapping on his helmet, yelling out, "I'm right behind you, Yumi-chan!" he revved up his bike and took off after Yumi, leaving an amused, yet laughing Omi behind them.
He shook his head as Yohji and Aya came out to see what the commotion was, "What in the hell is going on Omi?" Yohji asked wonderingly, his face in a surprised shock. "Where on earth did Ken go off to?"
Omi turned and smiled at the other two guys, "Ken had to go somewhere for a bit... he'll be back later tonight..." he then smiled, oO{Ganbatte ne Ken-kun... she's a great catch...}
* * *
Ken followed Yumi all the way out into the country, feeling a surprisingly wild and free feeling about him as he trailed behind. He couldn't quite place this incredible feeling that welled up inside of him, but only knew one thing: he really enjoyed the feeling he was getting, and hoped that this wasnt a dream...because if it was? He didnt want to wake up from it....ever.
They finally stopped by a bridge, overlooking a nice view of the lake and the sunset. He found Yumi sitting there, just watching it as she looks up, grinning. "Took you long enough, ne Ken-kun?" she teased him, taking off her helmet with a teasing grin.
He smirked and plopped next to her, resting his head above his folded arms, "I see you're pretty good on a bike... I'm rather impressed." he congratulated her as he stretched out a bit to relax his aching leg muscles from the other night.
Yumi smiled softly, and patted the grass next to her for him to move closer, "You do have room, Ken-kun... I promise I won't bite." She smirked.
Ken smiled and sat down next to her. She leaned back, as she put her arms behind her head, elevating her head slightly, she stared up at the cloudy sky. She also looked out into the open sky; as her mind drifted off to the past battles, and where she and the others had been hurt. She closed her eyes as silent tears fell down her face.
Ken stopped, thinking as he gazed down at her. He looked out into the open sky, where the sun set by the view of the lake, "....what's bothering you Yumi-chan... you seem like you're hiding a deep dark secret..."
This made Yumi's blood run cold, her body freezing as she felt his words shoot through her, "....Why would I have anything to hide...?" she tried to joke around, her voice a semi-fake type of laughing.
Yumi stopped laughing, as she looked to see the large brown eyes of Ken staring right into her, his hand gently raised as it touched the side of her cheek, "....I can see it through you Yumi.... a dark secret on your soul... but you want to reach out..."
Yumi stopped, her eyes growing wet with unshed tears, as she took her free hand, and held it against the side of her face, gazing up at him, "....I'm not the only one Ken...." she gazed into his eyes, her voice pushing something deep inside his heart.
Ken stopped, gazing at her with a sense of wonder and amazement in his voice. He jerked his head away, his voice breaking into a horse, choking tone as he whispered, "Suminai... Yumi...ore wa...ore wa..."
Ken could feel a hand touch his own hand, his hand looked up at the soft brown eyes, her voice overwhelmed with a sense of softness and sweetness, her kind smile sparked something in his soul, "Ken...."
Ken just stared at her with a look of surprise, as his hand slipped on a smooth rock, and his hand instinctively touched Yumi's side to keep him balanced. When he felt her start to contract in pain, he knew something wasnt right at all.
Yumi felt her side clench in pain as if someone pierced her hard with a large katana. She curled up, coughing and shivering into a ball.
Ken stepped back in surprise, shock radiated across his face... "Yumi! Daijoubka!?!?!" he stopped then again, realization dawning on his features. He gently forced her hand away, and he lifted the side of her shirt, to show her stomach bandaged up good and tight. He stepped away, looking in shock, "....Yumi....what...." he then stopped, seeing her curl up tighter into a ball, it dawned on him as he stared at her, "....Yumi....anata..."
Yumi kept her head turned away, and softly cried, "Gomen ne... Ken.....gomen ne...." she the rolled over and looked up at him, her eyes full of tears, flowing freely, "....Gomen... Siberian No Kado...." She then turned her body away from him one more time, and softly began to sob.
She stopped after a few moments, to see him couched next to her, gently touching the side of her cheek, gazing at her with soft eyes... eyes that resonated an emotion she never saw in Siberian No Kado's eyes before. "Arigatou.... " he whispered to her, helping her stand slowly, "If it wasn't for you.... I would have been killed....the same with the others..."
Yumi just stared at him in surprise, her eyes showing the wonder and surprise in them, "Ken..." was all she could say at that exact moment.
He silenced her with a gentle finger to her lips, his smile soft, yet incredibly warm and inviting. "It's all right Yumi..." he said softly, his hand gently stroking the side of her face, his soft chuckle to himself heard as a soft breath, "...Amazing.... I...found myself falling in love with the Blue Russian.... and you at the same time...." he smiled softly, "Who would have ever guessed in my wildest dreams, that you would be one and the same....?"
Yumi felt her heart begin to swell with unexplainable emotion as she blinked in surprise, "...Ken..." was all she could say, as she stared up at him, her eyes full of wonder... and surprise.
Ken gently put a finger to her lips as if to silence her. He then took his free hand, and gently ran it down her jawbone, his eyes drinking her in both as a delicate woman....and as a gorgeous kitten. He let his hand drift to the bottom of her chin, where he gently cupped it in his hand. As he lifted slowly, he lowered his own head down, as he hesitantly...yet gently, kissed her lips.
Yumi felt her heart jump into her throat as she felt his lips touch hers, her eyes sinking shut as their lips met. The electric rush of adrenaline that she felt from her head to her feet was the most indescribable thing that she could ever have experienced.
Ken slowly released the kiss, and gazed down at her, his smile warm and soft, as he gently ran his fingers through her soft brown hair, "....Yumi...." He whispered compassionately, holding her close to him, "I won't ever let you go..."
Yumi gazed up at him, her soft brown eyes glistened with mixed feelings that welled up within her; from Surprise....to wonder... to even a little hint of love. She gazed up at him, and with her whole heart, she poured out the truth of who she was to Ken. She told him who was after her, who her father was... and why she was who she was.
Ken listened intently, shock radiating on his face, then to slower understanding, "....It's all right Yumi..." he said as he held her close to him, his voice strong and determined, "I swear to you... that from now on... you have no reason to hide in the shadows anymore... you're one of us...." He smiled at her, "You're one of us Yumi., I...." he found himself pausing for a moment...then finally realizing the truth of what his heart was aching to admit for the last few days, "I... I love you... and we want you with us."
Yumi looked up at Ken in surprise, and happiness. For the first time in her whole life... she felt loved .
