Ch. 3… A Soft Melody

She had wondered all that day looking for Mitsuru. Raising a hand to her lips she lightly rested a finger where his own had touched hers. 'Why…did he kiss me…I'm not complaining but' She stopped when she heard cries and screams coming from around a bend in the street. Mahiru's gaze followed a dirt path to a construction building.

Mahiru carefully walked down the small path to investigate the sounds. When she peeked around the building in construction her heart skipped a beat. Mitsuru sat on a five-step ladder his head in his hands. The ground below him hard dark spots from where his tears had fallen. She took a hesitant step towards him.

Mitsuru wasn't aware of her approach until he felt her hand resting on his knee. He lifted his face up to hers. "Don't worry Mitsuru." She whispered. "You don't have to run and hide anymore…I-I love you also."

Mitsuru sat on the middle step of the ladder, one foot on the ground, the other on the bottom step. He felt her put her hands on the seat he sat upon, between him and his arms. She pushed herself closer to him, sliding between his knees, tilting her face towards his. Her lips hung over his hesitantly.

He wanted to scream, to pull away and stop this moment. He knew if she kissed him, it would reveal his feelings he worked so hard to hide. Mitsuru wanted her to kiss him though; he wanted her in every way. A betraying arm found it's way around her back and pulled her to him, forcing her lips to touch his. 'Mahiru…'

When he embraced her she tensed but soon relaxed and concentrated on their kiss. It started out as just a simple kiss, but it soon turned toward an extremely emotional kiss. In that moment they learned of the others feelings.

'Mitsuru…I'm willing to give you everything, if you give me some back.' He kissed her, her allowing him to deepen their kiss. 'Oh Mitsuru' Mahiru sighed into his lips and he slowly pulled away looking at her.

"Is anythi…" he cut short when he saw she was crying. Hot wet tears rolled down her cheeks. "Stop crying, damn girl," he may sound tough, but when he placed a hand on the back of her head and hugged her to his chest, it proved different. Mahiru's tears were soaked up by the bandages that were covering his flesh. "Princess, Princess…why do you cry?" he whispered softly into her ear.

"I-in a forest…painted by the setting sun. I made a promise to a demon boy, that when the full moon rises in ten…I will become his bride." Her melodic voice sang to him, melting his ice-cold heart. The shattering of the ice warmed his body sending a surge of heat up his spine.

"Princess, Princess why d…" She placed a finger over his lips to silence him. "Please don't speak…but sing. Sing for me!" Mitsuru took hold of her hand and brought it to his cheek, where he stared into her eyes… 'Those deep…drowning eyes.' Which could be said for his also.

"Princess, Princess…" His voice was rich and velvety, and wrapped around Mahiru closing her in, "…why do you laugh." She replied singing, "Hidden behind the veil of bamboo blinds, the minister explains that he will hide and protect me…as the…"

"Hey you kids," called a voice about 20 yards away. "What the hell you doin here it's nighttime about now… and you…off my ladder."

Mitsuru turned his head towards the man, about to make a rude comment. "Mitsuru!" He turned his eyes to her but his head still face the man. "What?" "Lets just go home please." She stood and pulled Mitsuru up with her.

Mitsuru glared at the man before allowing Mahiru to pull him away. Once out of sight he transformed and held a hand out to the blonde. She hung back for she was still a little afraid of flying. "I'll leave you here." At that comment she flung herself at him. "NOO!" he chuckled, "You woman truly are as fickle as the phases of the moon." He swept her into his arms and sped off towards home.

Mahiru squeezed her eyes shut as the wind lifted her hair and flapped around. She snuggled against Mitsuru trying to reduce the air being forced on her face. Mitsuru slowed down a bit, "Tomorrow I want to show you something. Will you come?" Mahiru heard him speak and was a bit surprised. "A-as a… date." "Well umm…is that what they're called?" When she didn't answer he continued, "Will you?" She nodded.

The Moonshine bar came into sight and Mitsuru landed on the small balcony of Mahiru's room. "So tomorrow?" "It's a date." He frowned and that made her laugh. "You frown too much Mitsuru!" he glared at her. "No one should know about tonight." "I won't tell." "Promise me." He grabbed her hand and stared into her eyes again. "I promise with a kiss." She stood on tiptoe giving Mitsuru a quick kiss. "Night." She climbed through the window into her room closing the window behind her.

'It's a date.'
