Disclaimer-Shaman King does not belong to me.
Pirika's eyes widened. This was a whole new side of Ren she was seeing tonight. She was used to him being the way he normally was, ruthless and demanding, almost lethal in his fierce determination to become Shaman King, the golden eyes she loved so much never as soft and tender as they seemed as they seemed to be looking upon her. At that moment, all that counted was her and Ren. The rest of her friends and her brother Trey didn't even come into play.
"Ren..." she whispered.
He held out his arms to her to lean into, and she accepted the invitation, drawing the blanket over both of them. He sighed and wrapped both his arms around her as she curled up close to him. He rested his head on her shoulder as they stared out the window.
"I'm glad you like my dress, Ren. I almost had second thoughts about it, since it was so short. I like your outfit too. The gold and black brings out your eyes and skin tone." she told him.
She looked up at him then, not realizing how close to each other they really were. She did know that she liked the way he felt against her, the way his rising body heat mad eit less necessary to have the blanket around them, how she could tell that he was toned physically from the way his muscles would twitch beneath her fingers.
It was understandable that the dark haired shaman would have to be very strong and slightly muscular to withstand the strains of spirit intregration, and there was a part of her that was curious to know more.
As her eyes rose up to his face, she found that he was staring right back at her, with the most incredible smile on his face. Her heart lurched with emotion for him and she had to keep from crying out of happiness.
"Oh Ren, when you're like this, I swear I could fall so hard for you." she told him.
"Really? That would make two of us then." he told her in a soft voice.
Their eyes meeting and lingering, she sat up to face him, extracting her arms from beneath the covers. She reached out to touch his face as his arms rested over the blanket, telling him with her eyes that she accepted him completely. He responded by reaching out to pull her towards him, their eyes closing as their lips met in a slow, tender kiss...
"For once, I'm glad that I don't have a physical body anymore. I've forgotten how much I've enjoyed being out in the rain." Amidamaru told Bason.
"Yes. It makes me homesick for my homeland from so long ago, although I would not trade the chance Master Ren has given me to live a second life." Bason said.
Trey frowned at Manta and Ryu, who were huddled beneath the dojo roof to ward off the rain, Li Pailong assuming a protective stance beside his mistress Jun.
"I'm surprised that you're not more concerned about your brother Ren, Jun. You're normally as protective of him as I am of Pirika." he told her.
"Yes, this may be true, but my brother Ren and I have a very strong bond and I trust him completely." Jun said.
"You're as wise as always, Mistress Jun." Pailong said.
She smiled up at her guardian, waving her fan in front of her face as she squeezed his hand affectionately. "Thank you, Pailong." she said.
Ryu and Manta shared a laugh and a smile between them as Trey sighed, his concerns on what exactly was keeping his sister, Ren, Yoh and Anna from joining them...
Parting from the kiss, Ren and Pirika took a moment to study each other's reactions before coming together to share another kiss, this time a little more deeper and more passionate. He bundled her up against his chest with his arms across her back as he slanted his mouth against hers to deepen the kiss furthur. He gasped as he felt her tongue skim across his lips and he parted his mouth to accept her.
They slid their tongues across each other's, shuddering together from the unexpected sensation of doing so. He had never kissed a girl before, and somehow he could tell that this was a first for her too, jumping suddenly when his stray hand landed on her bare thigh.
"I'm sorry. I didn't mean to do that." he said.
"It's okay. Your hand kinda felt good there, nice and warm. I never realized how warm you are, Ren." she told him.
"You feel that way too. I'm surprised that you wanted the blanket at all." he said.
She threw the blanket to the side. "I don't anymore." she said.
She leaned in to kiss him again, and he responded by leaning her down against the rumpled blanket on the floor. She sighed, accepting this new position, meeting his eyes with hers.
She modestly adjusted her rumpled dress as he smiled at her, resting on his side beside her. Fanning her hair out beneath her head, he smiled and kissed her again, kissing across her face to nuzzle her neck, making her giggle.
"That tickles, Ren." she laughed.
"I'm sorry. I'll stop." he said.
"No. You don't have to. It's weird, but it kinda feels good too." she said.
She proved it to him by doing it to him, finding that he had a much different reaction. The look in his eyes reminded her of how he looked in the shaman fights, yet she could still see the tenderness underneath. She melted from the combination.
"Ren..." she whispered.
Deciding not to waste anymore time with talking, she reached out to draw him to her, his small thin body molding itself against her small feminine one. He buried his head into her hair as she stroked down his face and neck, towards the fastenings of his handsome brocade tunic.
She had a feeling that he was slightly built from the way the shirt clung to his physique, and she found that he wasn't the least bit shy about allowing her to see the results of his lifelong workouts.
"Ren...I never expected this. You're very toned for such a young man. Not even Trey is built like you." she told him.
"I'll take that as a compliment, since I've been been training to look this way all my life. I never intended it to increase my attractiveness. I never cared about anyone's opinion until I met you." he told her.
Unable to find the words she wanted to use to express herself, Pirika instead responded by smoothing her hands across his bare chest, tracing the hard lines of his chiseled physique. As strong as he felt in his strength, she also reviled in the soft warmth of his skin, incredibly sensitive to her touch.
She leaned up against him, his bare chest against the thin material of her dress, her body reacting to his. He gasped as he could feel her small breasts against him, her nipples hardening beneath the fabric. He reached out to touch them, her breath catching as he ran his thumbs across them.
He watched her as she eased her dress straps from her shoulders. He took that as an invitation to continue his exploring, distracting her with a kiss as he pressed his hands harder against her breasts, testing their weight against his fingers.
He hadn't realized that this would be such a sensitive spot on her, and found he rather enjoyed watching her face as he tormented her by softly pinching her and bending down to kiss them over her clothes. She responded by sweeping her hands across his flat nipples, smiling to herself when she heard him gasp.
She arched up into his hand as he loosened her dress to pull it down furthur, his breath catching as he finally looked upon her. She self consciously crossed her arms across her chest.
"Please don't stare, Ren. I feel embarrassed." she said.
"You don't have to be. I think I just might be falling for you too, Pirika. I don't know what's going to happen tomorrow, but I know I want to be with you tonight." he told her.
Pirika smiled. "I want that too, Ren." she said.
Reaching out to rest her palms agaisnt his shoulders, she arched her back towards him as he leaned down to caress her hardened nipples with his tongue, her grip tightening as he took them into his mouth. He sighed softly as she smoothed her hands down his body, taking in the smooth curve of his back, narrow hips and waistline.
The pair stared at each other for a moment to guage each other's reactions, coming together in each other's embrace for another long, pasionate kiss. Allowing him to slide off the reminder of her dress, she became much more aware of the cool silk of his black brocade pants sliding across her bare legs. She could feel the hardness of his arousal rock against her core as his hands moved across her waist down over her rounded hips.
Ren echoed Pirika's soft moan as he found the heat of her desire, his fingers becoming very wet inside of her. He panted, finding it very hard to breathe from the sensations of their intimacy, biting his lower lip when she pressed her hands against his arousal.
"Pirika..." he groaned.
Ravaging her mouth with hsi as his need for her increased, he assisted her in easing his pants down off his hips and legs as he took off her last remaining barrier. Breathing hard as they rocked against each other, he smiled down at her as she carressed the side of his face tenderly.
"You are so beautiful, Pirika." he told her.
"Ren..." she whispered with a smile.
She cried out softly as he claimed her as his own, reaching up to pull him towards her. He leaned his body against hers, engaging in a deep, passioante kiss to stifle their moans as he arched into her, her hips rising to meet his.
This feeling was even more incredible to him than any shaman fight he'd ever been in, her wet, tight warmth beckoning to him as she encouraged him with her own movements beneath him.
He could tell she wouldn't last much longer from the way she continued to tighten around him, arching up against him as she shuddered violently with a loud cry. This in turn caused him to lose himself in a similiar manner, fighting to catch his breath afterwards.
"Are you okay, Pirika?" he asked her breathlessly, brushing her hair away from her face.
"Yes, Ren. Look, it looks like the rain has stopped." she sighed happily.
He kissed her tenderly. "It has, hasn't it?" he replied with a smile.
"Hey, why have you guys been out in the rain for so long? You should have been inside with us!" Yoh laughed as he and Anna greeted their guests finally coming inside from the rain.
"And where have the two of you been all this time? It looks like you've been drinking some of Ryu's liquor and your kimonos are all wet. What gives?" Trey asked him.
Yoh laughed as he slapped Trey on the back. "We decided to entertain ourselves while we were waiting on you. It is a party, after all." Yoh said.
"And I'm pretty sure that Yoh and his friends would rather not spend the day after our party doing laundry all day just because our kimonos got even wetter than they are now. Am I right?" Anna asked.
"You are definitely right about that!" Yoh agreed.
"Master Ren, there you are." Bason said, as Ren and Pirika walked into the room.
"Hello, Bason." Ren said.
"I'm sorry we kept everyone waiting. Ren and I just took some time to watch the rain." Pirika said.
Trey frowned, but decided not to respond when he saw the smile on his sister's face. Ren's face was as unreadable as always as he observed the rest of the group. The only two he seemed remotely interested in were his guardian spirit Bason and his sister Pirika.
Jun studied her brother for a moment before realizing what exactly was going on, and smiled over at Li Pailong, as Manta and Ryu got the party started again inside.
"So Master Ren, may I ask what kept you so long?" Bason asked.
Ren reached over to take Pirika's hand with a smile. "Certainly. I guess I'd have to say that I've found that the rain is not so unpleasant after all." Ren said.
