Chapter 7 Every Heart Shines

Lacus, with the help of Mizu, was able to carry Kira back to the house slowly. As she laid him on the bed, she brushed his bangs from his closed eyes. She smiled softly, and laid her pink kimono she retrieved over him as a blanket. "Rest well, Kira." she loved the sound that his name made in her mouth. It was soft and short, perfect even. Her eyes softened, had she developed feelings for him? What if she did, did he, could he we should say, return those feelings? She bit her lower lip lightly.

A yawn that escaped Kitsu's mouth caused her to come back to reality. She turned and saw the two slumped against the wall. She smiled and walked over to them, lightly tapping them on the shoulders. When they opened one eye each, she smiled warmly and helped them up. Leading them down the hallway, she located another undamaged room, and had them get into the bed. (Not sure if they use beds or whatever, but right now, I've got beds) Lacus smiled at them warmly. They fell asleep instantly. She pulled the blankets to their chins, and kissed them both on the forehead. "Goodnight, sweet dreams." she whispered softly as she backed out of the room.

When she returned to the room Kira was in, she found him sitting up in the bed, his face displaying his pain and discomfort from where Darien's blades had licked his skin. He was staring at his hand. "Kira? Are you alright-" but she stopped when he looked at her with sad eyes filled with tears. She rushed to his side. "Kira, what's wrong? Do you need anything?" but Kira looked back down at his hand. His fingers bore reddish stains that Lacus wasn't able to remove. The fingers were a lightish tan mixed with apricot in comparison to Lacus's pale features. "Kira, are you alright?" she asked again. He didn't answer, but looked at her again. When he finally answered, all he said was, "I'm sorry." Lacus didn't understand. "Kira, what is there to be sorry for? You have done nothing wrong." But the brunette looked away and put his arms on his knees, resting his chin on his arms. "I wasn't able to protect you. You had to save me, and sully your hands. And for that, I am very sorry." Lacus wanted to hold him and tell him it was alright, but such a gesture could result strangely.

Instead she inched closer to him and placed her hands over his. She pressed down softly. "Kira, you were in trouble, and if you got hurt because of me, I would feel terrible. Now please, let me finish healing your wounds." she smiled a warm smile. He looked up to her, but shifted his gaze. "Lacus, you don't know, anything about it. It's one thing for me to slay so many people, but to bring an innocent girl into it," he looked at the floor, staring at it as if daring it to creep away. "To kill someone, it makes you think that their taken life is a burden that you must carry. And I have many burdens on my shoulders. And now you, I can't call myself a man of Honor," Lacus frowned slightly. "Please Kira, don't belittle yourself like that! It's not fair. To always feel a burden pulling on your shoulders, you shouldn't feel this way, you don't have to," she said, getting closer to him.

She placed a slender hand on his bare shoulder and he tried to push it away, but cringed at the pain it caused him. Lacus stood and walked over to his side, and pushed him down lightly. The young man then noticed that his shirt had been removed, and blushed a little. He then cringed as he looked at all of the scars his wounds would leave when they finally healed. He then felt a soothing sensation rubbing over the large gash in his stomach were Darien had stabbed him. He looked over and saw Lacus with her hands covering the wound and glowing a light blue, then transferring the glow to his body.

He smiled slightly as he watched. The woman had a warm expression on her gentle features, and she seemed to enjoy healing his wounds. She soon turned it into a small bruise that would only give him pain of opened again, and then moved on to another on his upper chest. Her hands rubbed the sores away, and seemed to relax and calm his mind till all he could think of was her and the soft blue glow. Lacus's hands brushed near his lotus tattoo, and a small, barely visible aura appeared around it: but neither noticed. He wanted to place his hands on hers, but thought better of it.

The two were so engrossed in their own thoughts that they didn't notice the two spies peeking through the doorway. "See anything yet?" asked Kitsu. "Not yet," Mizu replied in a whisper. "They're just sitting there. Lady Lacus is healing his wounds, and he's just laying there." Kitsu pouted. She knew that they had to like each other, so why didn't they do anything yet? But she forgot about it and continued to spy on the pair.

After his wounds were healed, Lacus looked over at him. "Kira, do you feel as if you can fly?" she asked with a smile. He smiled back, he no longer felt the pain, and he felt as if all his burdens had been lifted from his shoulders. He thought she was going to leave, but she sat on the edge of the bed next to him and smiled. "Kira, did you ever have feelings for someone?" she asked. He seemed a bit puzzled with her question, but replied, "No. Why do you ask?" She looked at her hands, "Oh, no reason." she replied quickly.

The two sat in an awkward silence. "Kira…?" "Lacus…?" they looked at each other. Lacus stared right into the man's deep lavender eyes, and couldn't control herself. She leaned closer to him and placed her lips onto his in a kiss. He was a bit surprised, but deepened it by lifting his hands and placing them around her waist. The woman leaned farther into him, and they both fell flat onto the bed, Lacus on top of Kira. Her arms were around his neck, and she felt warmer. When he broke from the kiss, he looked into her blue eyes, breathing heavily. "Lacus," he half whispered to himself. She smiled and leaned down again towards his face. He closed the gap and turned her over so that he was on top of her, gently caressing her hair.

Out in the hallway, Mizu looked on with his jaw hanging to the floor, and his face as red as a lobster. When Kitsu asked him what happened, he wouldn't reply: so she peeked over herself. Her jaw dropped to the floor. She had never even seen her parents do that. Mizu looked down and quickly covered his sister's eyes. She also reached a hand up and covered one of his eyes. They quietly inched closer behind the doorway so they wouldn't give themselves away so easily. "Mizu, what are they doing?" asked the little girl. Her older brother looked down at her. "God knows Kitsu, God knows."

Kira's hands were holding the woman sometimes beneath him, and sometimes above him. When she was on top of him, he would caress her back, or feel the softness of her hair. Lacus would hold him close to her, breathing in his scent when they broke for air. On such occasions, he would stroke her cheek, or just lay still with her close to his body. He never felt the feeling he felt now, he had never held someone so close before, it felt, good. "Kira?" Lacus asked, barely above a whisper. She was on top of him and had her head on his bare chest while he caressed her hair. "Hmmm?" he asked in a response. "I love you." those words made Kira want to smile broadly, but wasn't it a bit sudden? It is a bit soon, but to H—l with it. he thought. He hugged her tightly and held her in his arms. Does this mean he loves me back? What if, oh! I don't care! she screamed in her head as she too hugged him tighter. "Thank you Lacus." he said in her ear. "For what?" He smiled again and tilted her chin up to him. "For making me feel this way." he finished, pulling her into another kiss. He grabbed her shoulders, and got on top of her to deepen the kiss. I've never felt so happy before. he thought. I've never felt so safe, thought Lacus around the same time.

I've never felt so sick…Thought Mizu.

I wonder what they're doing? Thought Kitsu.

Lacus pulled Kira closer. He came willingly, while not breaking the kiss. The two continued for about seven minutes, all the while making Mizu wish he had never wanted to spy.

Rays of the early sun started to show through the one window in the room. Two children leaned against the wall and each other in the hallway. And on the bed lay two figures. One a woman in a purple dress, and a man with brown hair, still holding each other from last night's discovery. Their faces were no more than three inches apart, and smiles, true smiles, were pasted on their faces.

So, how was it? I feel much better now cause I had a bowl of, COCOA PUFFS! But I really gotta go to the bathroom…Read and enjoy!
