Keitaro was awakened by a jolt on the side of the bed.

Wondering was could possibly be shaking his bed at this unholy hour of the night, Keitaro turned to his side, only to see Naru, standing next to the chair by the mirror, putting on her dressing gown.

For a moment, Keitaro did nothing but observe her.

Her entire nude form was bared for him to see, but instead of focusing on certain parts of her body, Keitaro instead stared at her face.

Her features were illuminated by the small table light lying on the table next to the mirror, and even in the dim light, coupled with his own sleepiness, Keitaro could truly appreciate her sublime beauty.

Finally, after a few seconds of staring, Keitaro asked. "Where are you going, Naru?"

Naru flashed him a sleepy smile, while she replied, "Toilet."

"I see."

Even though her smile wasn't particularly bright, Keitaro still felt as though the smile had lit up his day, and not for the first time he thought about how much he loved her.

"Hurry back… I miss your warmth."

"Okay." She smiled at him again.

Keitaro turned and went back to sleep.
