~*~ Chapter 5: Forbidden Love ~*~
Kirana did nothing except sit where she had been sitting for the last 5 hours and stare at the wall. Sakana had tried to get her to do something many times, but each time, Kirana had made the excuse that she wanted to be alone for a while. So, Sakana had given up hope and had gone out a while ago to get some fresh air.
Kirana suddenly stood up, walked out the door, and went into the kitchen. She looked around for Kuronue, finding him sitting in the darkest corner of the kitchen. She walked over to him and asked to speak to him. Kuronue nodded they both went into his room.
"Kuronue, is there any way to get this off of me?" Kirana asked, holding up her wrist and showing the silver band that restricted her spirit energy.
"No, I can only get mine off. Yoko would have to get that one off. And, judging from what you did this morning, I don't think he will," Kuronue said, looking at her. "Why?"
"Because I need to train. I know, I could always just grab one of his katanas, but there is no point in training in that. I need to use my spirit energy or I'll get rusty and my energy amount will decrease," Kirana said, not liking what she was going to have to do. "Please, Kuronue. I need to get this off. I can't take any more of being restricted like this!"
Kuronue nodded. "I'll see if I can get Yoko to take that off you for a little while. I can't guarantee anything, but I will try."
Kirana nodded and left. Kuronue sighed. 'This is not going to be easy. Well, it was Yoko's fault, I'm pretty sure. Oh, well. I will try. Not for her, though. I know what it's like to be trapped and without access to your spirit energy. It's frightening.'
Kuronue went and tried to find Yoko, finding him outside by the hot springs that were near where they lived.
"Hey, Yoko. Do you think we could take off the girls' wards for a while. I'm sure they won't try to go anywhere, and besides, we can just block them. We would have all the advantages. What do you think?" Kuronue asked, looking at his friend closely.
Yoko nodded. "Only for a little while, though. And if Kirana asked you to do this, tell her that this is the last time I'm doing anything for her." Yoko walked back towards the house, finding Sakana along the way and bringing her with him.
Kuronue followed, thinking carefully. 'Well, I better make sure that the girls behave, or Yoko might never take the ward off Kirana again.'
When they reached the house, Sakana looked for Kirana, finding her in the kitchen, staring blankly at the wall. Kuronue had already taken off her ward and she dragged Kirana with her to Yoko.
Sparks seemed to fly in the air when Kirana entered Yoko's room. She stared coolly at him and offered her wrist to him. He took it and removed the ward. When Kirana didn't take back her hand, he looked at her oddly.
Kirana took a step forward and put her head on Yoko's chest. "I'm sorry about earlier today. It was just a reaction. I had....a situation like that to deal with once before and I remembered that as you were kissing me. I really am sorry." She cried a little bit, but looked up when Yoko tilted her chin.
"What happened then?" He asked softly, looking right into her eyes.
"Well, this was about 5 years ago. I was on a little trip when I was captured by a band of thieves. One of them, the leader, took advantage of me while I had my ward on and kissed me. I never liked him, so I managed to get out of his grasp, then I slapped him as hard as I could. He fell unconscious and I ran back home, not stopping once for fear that he would catch me. I never got his name, though," Kirana added as an afterthought.
Yoko nodded and then looked away. "So that's why you reacted so violently. I see. Well, I'll be going now...." Yoko trailed off when he felt Kirana's hand grasp his wrist.
Kirana leaned up and kissed Yoko. He wrapped his arms around her waist and deepened the kiss. She wrapped her arms around his neck and opened her mouth slightly.
The kiss went on for a minute or two before they both broke away, panting slightly. Kirana moved onto the bed, seeing as it was really late, and Yoko joined her a moment later.
"Goodnight, Kirana," Yoko whispered as she kissed her on the forehead.
"Night, Yoko," Kirana whispered, falling asleep in Yoko's arms. He smiled as he watched her and fell asleep himself soon after, still holding Kirana in his arms.
