Chapter 21

Ying Fa moved over to her bike. She sat down and starred out into nothing. Why was her life always so uncertain?

" A penny for your thoughts? "

She jumped and looked up at Tristan.

" Are you following me?" she demanded.

" Cool it. " he said waving his hands defensively. " We are leaving and I saw you here. "

She kicked the bike into ignition.

" Well bye. " she said and went to put her helmet on.

Tristan took it from her and she starred at him.

" Look I wanted to say I'm sorry . . again. I don't know what I did or said that pissed you off, but I didn't mean to. "

Ying Fa starred at him and then turned off the bike and sat starring at the ground.

" It's wasn't that. " she said slowly and then looked up at him and he saw how confused she was.

" Tristan - " she paused.

" What? " Tristan said and squatted down and looked up at her.

" It's just that - well you see I - "

She sighed.

" I don't know. I just don't know. "

Tristan frowned concerned.

" I'm a great listener. Wanna prove it? "

"I know your great listener. " she said and he shot her a look and she could have slapped herself.

" Well I kinda guessed. " she said. She had to stop referring to things that had happened with Cherry.

" Come on Rogue. " he proded. " Something's up and I would like to know if you let me. "

She seemed to be battling with inside herself and he watched all the emotions play across her face and stood up.

" I don't know Tristan. " she said warily getting up and stepping away fom him.

Tristan stepped towards her and tugged her towards him.

" You know you want to. " he smiled playfully.

She looked away and tried to come to some sort of conclusion.

" Will this help you decide? " Tristan asked and she turned to look at him, not sure what he had meant and gasped when he kissed her.

" Looks like we'll be minus one wolf tonight. " Meilin said as she got in the car.

Sakura watched the young couple.

" Leave them be. "

Li shot her a glance and she looked at him with a dreamy expression.

" Everyone deserves at least one chance at finding true happiness. Let him have his. "

Li grunted and started to car and drove off.

Tristan looked up and watched them go. Ying Fa swayed and steadied herself.

" Looks like I'll need a lift after all. " he smirked.

Ying Fa blushed and jumped on the bike. Tristan placed his hands around her waist and she blushed crimson.

' What am I getting myself into? ' she thought as she revved the bike.

* * *

" Where to? " Ying Fa yelled over her shoulder as she ran a red light.

" Somewhere private! " Tristan yelled over her shoulder and she swerved almost hitting a car.

" What? " she asked blushing.

Tristan smiled.

" Do you know the park on fifth? "

" I think so. "

" I'll guide you. Turn left up here. "

* * *

" It's beautiful. " Ying Fa breathed as she parked the park and lifted the viewscreen on her helmet and starred down at the town all lit up beneath them.

" I knew you would. " Tristan replied smiling as he got off. " Come on. " he said and she followed him towards a little hill.

" So what's up? " Tristan said after a while.

Ying Fa pulled her knees up to her chest and the wind made her hair flow out behind her.

" It's hard to explain. " she said softly.

" Try from the beginning. "

" Why should I trust you?! " she demanded shooting him a glance.

" Because I trust you. "

" But why? "

" What's to be shocked about? " Tristan asked looking at her.

" Well no one's ever trusted me. " she said slowly.

Tristan sat up straighter.

" No one? "

" Not really. Apart from Shinji, Trinity, Cleo and the others. "

" Who are they? " Tristan asked.

Ying Fa looked at him.

" Well - " she said slowly. " Shinji's my surogant brother. "

" He's the one that interferred that time with the boost right? "

She nodded.

" Trinity is a lady a grew up with and took care of me. She's my surogant mother and Cleo is her daughter and my friend. "

Tristan nodded understanding.

" And the others? "

" Look why do you want to know all this anyway? " she asked crossly.

Tristan moved closer to her and lifted her chin.

" Because I want to know everything about you Rogue. " he whispered.

" Those that knew wished they hadn't known me. They all ended up dead or taken away. " she whispered.

Tristan laughed.

" Sweetheart I doubt that anything will happen to me because of what you tell me. "

Rogue blinked startled. He had called her an adearment. This was serious her mind screamed.

" The others. " she swallowed trying not to lose it now. " Are just people like Mackie -

the mechanic, or Koji. "

Tristan stiffened.

" What?' she asked.

" Koji was the guy that was with you right? What was he to you? " he demanded.

She fronwed.

" He was a friend and body guard. Nothing more. "

He relaxed.

" Why? " she asked suspicious.

" I was just wondering why he warned me away from you that's all. "

" What? He did what? "

" Shhh. " Tristan said soothing her. " Calm down. It wasn't serious. He was testing

me. "

" Hmmm. " she didn't sound sure.

Tristan smiled and ran his hands through her hair making her stiffen.

" What's wrong? "

" I just don't think you should do that. "

" Why? "

" Because I'm a conspiracy that's why. "

" A what?"

" Conspiracy. Everyone I touch or care for either dies or get's taken away. Look at my family. " she ended softly.

Tristan drew her closer to him.

" I'm not going anywhere promise. As for your family, I know you'll find them. "

She looked up at him with sad eyes.

" I hate being alone. " she whispered.

" Hey you're not alone with me are you?" he asked.

She smiled faintly.

" But you'll take off eventually. "

" What's that supposed to mean? " he demanded.

" You'll get sick of me. I'm stubborn and determined and secretive and mysterious. You can never get anything out of me that I don't want anyone to know. Put simply you'll leave knowing that you can't get what you want. "

" You mean a lot more by that last part don't you? " Tristan asked.

She blushed, but nodded.

" Rogue I would never use you. " Tristan said.

She scoffed.

" That's what they all say. I've seen it all before. You all want thing only and then that's it, another conquest to add to ther extensive list you all have. "

" Hey I am not like that thank you. " he said firmly. " I don't keep score. "

She looked up at him curious.

" So you have - ? "

Tristan blushed several shades of red.

" What kind of question is that? " he demanded trying to not let his voice rise.

She shrugged.

" Forget it. " she said looking back down at the town. " Dumb question. "

They sat in silence for a while.

" I like this. " she said after a while.

" Like what? "

" What's the word? Companionship. " she said. " I'm so used to being on my own. It feels nice. "

He smiled.

" I'm glad you like it. "

The lapsed into silence again.

" I'm not who you think I am. " Ying Fa said looking at him in the shadows.

" You mean Rogue isn't your real name? " he said not sounding the least bit surprised.

She shook her head.

" That's why I don't want to get too close to you Tristan. There are too many things you don't know and I can't - " she looked at him. " tell you, so don't ask. "

" I think I know so much about you and then you go and tell me something like that and it shatters the picture I am building of you. " he said smiling lightly.

" Why are you trying to understand me? " she asked surprised.

Tristan looked at her.

" Don't you get it yet? I like you a lot Rogue. You're so beautiful and you drive me crazy whenever I'm near you and all I want to do is kiss you. "

She reddened.

" Kissing won't hurt much. " she said innocently. " Everyone does it. "

" Please don't don't say that. " he groaned. " Because once I begin I won't be able to stop and I'll go further and you'll end up hating me. "

Ying Fa studied him. What would it be like? she wondered.

" I can always make you stop. " she said.

Tristan stiffened and then looked at her.

" Did I hear you right? "

She starred at him.

" Show me. " she said and knelt on her knees, looking at him.

Tristan starred up at her surprised.

" Rogue - "

She placed her finger against his lips.

" Don't say anything. I can't blame you in the end if it was all my idea. "

" Then I don't want it to be that way. If you're going to blame yourself - " he pushed her away.

She frowned.

" You really care?" she asked slowly.

" Of course I do! " he stated. " I'm not some city jerk that get's what he came for and then uses the door. "

Her eyes softened as she looked at him.

" I want to. " she said suddenly. " I've always seen other people do it and I've always wondered. "

Tristan starred at her and then what she had just said kicked in.

" What?!! " he almost yelled. " You mean you're - you're still a - "

She arched her eyebrow at him in the dark.

" Is that a problem? " she asked moving closer to him.

" My god. " his voice shook and he shivered as she touched him.

" I'm not a freak if that's what you're thinking. " she defended.

" Rogue I'd never think that of you! " he said grabbing her face between his hands.

" I just thought that - well by the way you acted - I thought that- "

" It's the way I was brought up Tristan. I've grown up with things that people should never see at such a young age. I have the whole tough bitch attitude, but where I grew up you had to or else you either got raped, killed or simply died. I'm nothing like that underneath. "

He looked at her and then reached for her hands, opened her palms and kissed each one lightly. Her eyes opened wide in surprise, but she didn't pull back. He moved his hands up her arms, then bent closer and kissed her neck. She was tense, with anticipation as well as fear, waiting to see what he would do next.

He moved closer, kissed her neck again, and his hand slipped down to cup one breast. Though she was still afraid, she was beginning to feel her own responses to his touch. He tilted her head back, kissing her neck, flicked his tongue along her throat, and reached to push the straps from her shoulders. Then he moved his lips up to her ear and along her jaw, and found her mouth. He opened his, and moved his tongue between her lips, and, when they parted, he exerted gentle pressure to open them more.

Then he backed off holding her shoulders, and smiled. Her eyes were closed, but her mouth was still open, and she was breathing faster. He kissed her again, cupping a breast. She stiffened a little. He stopped and looked at her, then smiled. She sat stiffly unmoving, looking up at his face as he ran his hands softly over her skin under her top.

He bent to kiss her neck as he reached around her and unzipped her top and let it fall away, exposing her bare skin and upright breasts that had swelled, inviting and waiting his touch, and felt his manhood throb.

In the dark he could see the black shadow of her tattoo, but he couldn't make it out properly. As much as he was curious to see it, he was too distracted by other things to bother reslly looking. He kissed her shoulders and traced them with his tongue as he felt her quiver. He ran his hands up her spine, and his tongue down her neck and chest, circled her nipple, felt it contract, and sucked gently. She gasped but didn't pull away. He suckled the other breast, ran his tongue back up to her mouth and, as he kissed her, pushed her back. She opened her eyes and looked up at him from the ground. Her eyes were dark and luminous.

Tristan then sat up and pulled his shirt over his head, feeling the surge as his manhood strained to burst free. He bent over her and kissed her again, and felt her open her mouth to taste his tongue with hers. He carressed her breast and ran his tongue down her neck and shoulder. He found her nipple again, sucking harder as he heard Ying Fa moan, and felt his own breath heaving faster.

He carresed her bare skin below her swelling mounds down to her waist, and searched her for the zipper that held her skirt together. Undoing it, he reached in and rested his hands on her stomach. She tensed then relaxed. He reached lower for the inside of her thigh, brushing over her sexy underwear. She spread her legs as he moved his hand along her inner thigh.

He pulled his hand away, sat up, then worked her skirt and underwear down her long legs and dropped them to the ground. Then he looked down at her soft, rounded curves in the dark, the light from the town below them, reflecting on them both, hinting but not completely revealing. Ying Fa smiled up at him with a look of trust and longing. Tristan undid his jeans and lowered them along with his underwear. Ying Fa gasped when she saw his uptight swollen member, and a hint of fear returned to her eyes.

Tristan recognised that fear and knew he had to comfort her, get her used to him again. He didn't want to hurt her and held on patiently to his growing urges.

He layed down beside her and waited giving her time. Her eyes were drawn to his throbbing member. He took her hand and led her to touch him. Ying Fa felt the softness of his skin, the warmth, the firm fullness, and, as she touched him, she felt a tingling sensation deep within her and a dampness between her legs. She tried to smile, but fear still lurked in her eyes.

He stretched out beside her and kissed her gently. She opened her eyes and looked into his. She saw his concern, and his hunger. She feared him, but she wanted him. She reached for him, closed her eyes and opened her mouth, and pressed herself closer to him.

He kissed her, letting her explore his mouth, and slowly worked his way down her neck and throat, kissing, moving his tongue, and gently caressing her stomach and thighs. He tantalized a little, coming close to the sensitive nipple, but backing off, until she moved his mouth to it. At that instant, he moved his hand to her warm slit between her thighs and found the small throbbing nodule. A cry escaped her lips.

He suckled and gently bit her nipple as he moved his finger. She moaned and moved her hips. He went lower, felt her indrawn breath as his tongue found her navel, and tension in her muscles as he moved even lower. He then pressed her legs apart, and took his first taste of her tangy salt. Ying Fa's breath exploded with a shuddering cry. She moaned with each breath, tossed her head back and forth, and raised her hips to meet him.

With his hands he spread her open, licked her warm folds, then found her nodule with his tongue and worked it. As she cried out, moving hips, his own excitement was hard upon him. He struggled to contain it. He backed off and grabbed something from his pocket of his jeans on the ground and quickly put it on and went back to what he had been doing. When he heard her gasping in quick pants, he raised up, kneeling so he could control his penetration, and guided the head of his organ into her untried opening. He gritted his teeth for control as he pushed into the warm, damp, tight well.

Ying Fa gasped and wrapped her legs around his waist, he felt the blockage within her. With his finger, he found her sensitive spot again and moved himself back and forth just a little, until her gasps came with cries and he felt her hips lift. The he drew back, pushed hard, and felt himself penetrate the barrior as she cried out in pain and pleasure, and heard his own strained outcry as he started to release his pent-up need with shruddering spasms.

He moved in and out, penetrating as far as he dared. Ying Fa moaned and pushed herself up harder and he went deeper making both of them moan aloud. She clawed his back trying to contain what he was making her feel. He leant down and kissed her silencing them both so that nobody would hear them. He pushed harder and faster and she followed him. She some how managed to reach between them, and Tristan groaned as she played with him as he moved in and out of her.

" Oh god Tristan. " she moaned. " Harder! "

Tristan placed his hands beneath her and lifted her up higher as he pushed into her. Her head was thrashing about from side to side in the cool grass for she didn't know if she was alive or dead.

He continued to push into her for a few more minutes trying to hold on as long as he could. He then pushed into her one more time, feeling the last of his essence drained, then collapsed on her. It was over. He lay on her for a moment his head on her chest, breathing hard, then raised himself. Ying Fa was limp, her head turned to the side, her eyes closed. He withdrew himself from her and saw the dark shadows on the ground from her blood.

" Oh my . . . god! " Ying Fa breathed, breathing hard.

Tristan smiled from beside her.

" You were amazing. " he whispered kissing her on the forehead.

Ying Fa rolled over and straddled him.

" Guess what? " she whispered kissing him on the mouth.

Tristan's eyes widened.

" Again?!! " he asked.

She gave him an evil smirk.

" Tristan sat up and she got off him.

" Why don't we go to a hotel or something first? "

She smiled.

" So you want to? " she asked a little unsure.

Tristan reached up and kissed her.

" You are the best thing that has ever happened to me and I'll be the world's biggest idiot if I let you go now. "

She giggled.

" Well then let's go? " she stated putting on her clothes.

" Mind if we drop by a supermarket first? " he asked blushing. " I kind of only had one. "

Ying Fa blushed.

" Sure. " she said and the drove off back towards Tomoeda.

Tristan smiled when he felt her shiver when he placed his hands lower than necessary, while he clung onto her as she drove.

" Cut that out. " she yelled. " Or I won't make it to the red light up a head. "

Tristan laughed, but not before making his hands go lower still.

* * *

Ying Fa giggled as they landed on the bed.

" Umm Tristan . . the door. " Ying Fa giggled.

Tristan muttered something and jumped up and locked the door. Ying Fa sat up and waited for him to come back to her. She opened her arms as he crawled up on the bed to her. She slowly kissed him and tried to remember all the things that she had seen other people do when she had been growing up.

Tristan opened his mouth to her and reached around and unzipped her top once again. Ying Fa undid his shirt and it landed somewhere on the floor. Ying Fa smirked as she gave him back some of the torture he had given her and he groaned.

Ying Fa pushed Tristan down and he watched curious to see what she would do. Ying Fa kissed his navel and all his muscles tightened. She made her way slowly back up towards his throat and kissed him while she undid his pants and suckled him on the neck. Tristan reached up and ran his hands through her long hair, while wrapping one hand around her waist and pulling her closer to him.

Ying Fa moved away and Tristan reached for her as she undid her skirt and let it fall, them unlaced her boots and let them fall to the ground. Tristan helped her remove his pants and shoes and Ying Fa shivered when their skin touched. She ran her fingers down his skin and kissed his chest all the way down to his navel and Tristan threw his head back and moaned. Ying Fa stopped, looked up at him and smiled.

Tristan clutched the sheets and cried out startled, nearly leaping off the bed, when she took him into her mouth and suckled gently.

" Holy shit Rogue! "

Rogue ran her tongue along his member and then moved so she was closer to him. She placed her hands down and started stroking him. She kissed him smirking, when he cried out against her lips.

Tristan reached over and grabbed what was needed and she took it from him and slid it slowly down his member making him groan. Tristan reached and placed his hands on her waist and pulled her up to him and she bent her head so she could kiss him.

He ran his hands down her stomach and then went further making Ying Fa gasp as he parted her and toyed with her inside. Ying Fa brought her hips up to meet him and threw her head back.

They made love many times that night and well into the morning. When they finally collapsed exhausted, they were both smiling contented.
