Chihiro had never felt so powerful.
Dark shadows patched the ground in places were the gentle luminosity from the moon did not touch or when a stray cloud ran past. But, other than the fleeting moments the elements did block the globe, the dragoness was able to absorb the precious light from that full moon. The light was somewhat like the warmth she experienced in human form from the sun. However, as a dragon, the feeling of warmth was intensified a hundredfold and made her quiver from a curious tingling sensation.
Haku smiled, secretly watching the girl sprawled upon the grassy embankment. It doesn't matter what form she's in. God, she is gorgeous. She can sit there, perfectly content with the world around her, truly at peace. In all my lives that I can recall, I've never met anyone with such a beautiful soul.
A prickling sensation came at the back of Chihiro's mind and she rolled onto her stomach to find Haku watching her with the eyes of a predator from where he rested at the edge of his river. I love those green eyes of his! I never imagined anyone would look at me the way he does! Damn, he looks so possessive, as if someone else would dare try to steal me away…
With that thought in her mind, Chihiro rose on all fours and leisurely sauntered over to the boy, making sure to twist her snake-like form a little further side-to-side than she was accustomed to.
Haku watched every move the girl made, giving a half-smile when he realized she was showing off a little for him. When she did reach him, the dragon transformed into his second form, climbed out of the river, and watched her for a reaction.
The dragon's human form was very much like it was years ago. He had kept the same hairstyle, his eyes were still green, but he had definitely developed. Although Haku was by no means "bulging" with muscle, he had a fairly lean frame and fairly board shoulders. To put it simply, Chihiro found not only his dragon form, but his human form extremely attractive.
Raider told me that all I had to do was wish for my dragon form…Repeating the advice given to her by her guardian, Chihiro quickly watched the river and trees appear to grow in size. Her senses dulled somewhat, but she was pleasantly surprised that she kept her "enhanced" senses for the most part.
The girl's head snapped back to Haku when she heard him give a sharp intake of breath.
"Haku, do I look ok? I mean, compared to when I was a real human?"
The young man now kneeled on his knees at her feet, looking up at her with an expression of pure awe.
"Chihiro, I wasn't able to watch you for the past six years, but you still take my breath away."
The girl gave a blush, breaking away from his gaze. Then, she reached down to his kneeling form and held a hand out. Without hesitation, Haku took it gently, following her lead to the edge of the river.
Chihiro leaned over the softly moving river. It was calm at the edge, but the currents were enough to distort the reflection.
Haku took his other hand and touched the water.
The ripples from the dragon's touch immediately halted the currents when they reached them. The river quietly stilled within a few breaths.
"Haku, I look exactly the same as before! Maybe my eyes are a little brighter, but I'm still no breathtaking Goddess! I'm still the plain, brown-haired Chihiro I was before."
Haku pulled her to his chest, picked her up with both arms and spun her around.
"Chihiro, when are you going to see that the skinny, narrow-faced, half-starved mortals aren't 'beautiful'? You, m'lady, are gorgeous."
Completing the spin, Haku brought the girl's forehead to rest against his own.
"Haku, you know that you don't have to say such things, you already own my heart."
"I will never lie to you. You are beautiful. I'd do anything for you."
She smiled, and both reached towards one another, finally touching lips. The boy and girl poured the years of longing and loneliness into the kiss, desperately trying to communicate to the other just how much they had really missed them. The kisses were strong, with brief touches, then parted, then brought the lips back together, never touching for more than a few seconds at a time.
Haku was slowly lowering the girl in his arms to the ground, still continuing the faint butterfly kisses until her back rested against the grass. Then, he lightly kissed along her jaw line, working his way around her earlobe and down to her neck.
"Haku?" she asked with a half-whispered breath.
He gave a light growl that didn't seem to quite match his human appearance.
After a few seconds, he worked his way back up and along her jaw, before stopping and looking into her eyes, trying not to look at the lips he longed to claim.
Both were breathing heavily under the fiery white moon.
"I want you to know that I've never gone beyond kissing," she began as he growled. "Trust me, I could have went a lot farther God knows how many times, but I couldn't. It just didn't feel right."
The slim girl gently pushed the still growling boy over onto his back. He stopped when she slipped slender legs on his sides, straddling him. His light green eyes were rather wide and she let out a light laugh.
"Not that I might not have been taking notes," she winked.
"Chi…Chihiro, I don't know how far you plan to take this," his voice strained as he tried to warn her, but was cut off with a long kiss that involved a bit of tongue.
"Haku, I told you, you own my heart. I gave up being a human, my world, seeing my family because I want to be with you."
His soft green eyes seemed to shine in the darkness, "I didn't know if you were sure, but, will you be my mate?"
She gave the boy a wicked smile.
"Yes. So, where did you say you were going to take me when you talked to Raider?"
"Oh, that is going to have to wait for another night, Angel."
( Slightly Haunted ): -dramatic sound effects- so, what did you think? Yes, I am capable of writing stuff fluffy enough to sneeze to death over. Ok, so maybe that was more romantic than fluffy, but that's ok….
Animeangel290: LoL, yea…you knew where I was going with that…hehe
Demonwolf98: I'm glad you like the fuzzy brute. I really don't give him enough attention sometimes ;)
Tai'sGirl345: hehe, that's the only comment? Am I losing your interest? LoL, j/k.
