I want to own HxH… but I can't.

Even the Storm Passes (Chapter IV)

Neon threw herself at him, shaking in fear. He stumbled back on her bed and unconsciously wrapped his arms around her.

The rain poured harder.

"I---is it g-gone?" she asked with a shaky voice.

"Aa."

"Sou… I'm sorry for all the trouble, Kurapika…" the master started saying, not minding to separate from her slave. "But I still have a favor to ask of you."

"I am here to serve you, Neon-sama."

She smiled. "Good… then I want you to hold me all night." she continued nonchalantly. He chose not to reply.

"You are my bodyguard. You will protect me from the thunder, right?"

"Yes."

"Good. Then accept my thanks." she lifted her head and slowly brought it down again so she would have greater access to his slightly opened lips.

She closed her mouth over his.

His azure eyes exploded to crimson from different emotions running through him.

My boss is kissing me… and it's wrong for someone of the lower class… he thought.

"What's wrong?" she asked. "Why aren't you responding? Am I not a good kisser? Surely you understand that I've never done it before, right?"

"It's…" he know not what to do nor say next.

"It's what?" her pink tresses formed a curtain around their faces, covering them in the process.

"Wrong."

She froze.

"I am not… on your… level."

She continued to stare at him. Only, her once lively eyes now reflected sorrow and shame.

"I don't understand what you're saying, Kurapika." Her warm breath on his face almost made him shiver.

"You are my master. I am but your slave. Masters and slaves should not engage in this kind of…"

She let her head rest on his face, her right hand on top of his left shoulder.

"And where did you get that ideology of yours?"

Her scent of roses filled her senses, intoxicating him. He took a very deep breath to strain himself only to find out she has completely invaded him.

He shut his deep crimson eyes.

His self-control prevailed from pleasure.

But then…

"You want me." she stated point-blank.
