Author's Note: I am back. After receiving a review from haruharu, I realized that I needed to return to this fic. I left it in the cold…and I actually can't remember why. I think I was developing another chapter and just stopped. In any case, I am resuming work on this fic. I realize that there was angst, but good angst…and I will work to keep the fluff and angst evenly balanced. I guess that's just how I write sometimes. My life is full of angst. Oh well. Just for you guys, this chapter will be all FLUFF. That's right. ALL FLUFF. 100 angel on Shion action. Short...angel on Shion action...

Forgive me! Enjoy.

Chapter 12

Shion:

Hey, Shion. Sorry I've been moody lately. It's just with everything going on, I feel a lot of stress. I mean there's a lot to do for us. For everybody. I covered your room in flowers just to let you know that I care deeply about you. I know you'll like it. Love, chaos.

I stared at the note, tears filling my eyes. I yelled at him…and he was just trying to do something nice for me. I am such an idiot. I got to find him. I walked over to my bed and sat the note down. This couldn't have happened at a worse time. Damn Kevin. It was chilling to see him and feel him again. I was falling in love with my angel, my chaos…

It was enough to shake me at my core all over again. Stop thinking about that, Shion. Go and settle things with chaos. Worry about Kevin later. I shook my head and started for my door. I would make things right with chaos again if it killed me.

chaos:

A woman's wrath is a pretty damaging thing. No wonder why Gaignun kept his use of hypnosis down to simple matters. I hate to see what would happen if Mary and Shelley got pissed and kicked his ass for something simple. All jokes aside, I still felt terrible. I sighed and stopped in the middle of the Residence Area of the Durandal.

I tried so hard to please her, even through my own problems. My darker side was ready to roll some heads, some woman was out to destroy me and Wilhelm was in the hospital with no vocal cords. Overall, it had been a very stressful week and I had a feeling it was going to get worse. At least…

…I would have dealt with it better by Shion's side. There was just something about her that kept my spirits up. I loved everything about her…

Her body…

Her kisses…

Her laugh…

I leaned against the wall heavily and sighed. Her outburst had wedged an imaginary knife through my heart. I was ready to defy Heaven and Hell for her. Shion…

"chaos?"

I turned my head slowly and saw Shion standing at the other end of the hall. My heart leapt into my throat at the sight of her. I stood still, fighting the urge to go to her, scoop her up and carry her back to my room to smother her in my love.

"Shion…what are you doing here?" I asked softly.

"I came here to apologize. I got so caught up in my hysteria that I didn't notice the lovely gifts you set about my room."

I let out a sigh of relief. I didn't know why, but part of me thought that she was here to tell me that she didn't want me anymore. I walked down the hallway and embraced her tightly. Shion tensed up for a second or two, then relaxed into my embrace. Our eyes met…

I stared into her beautiful eyes, allowing myself to get lost in their depths. We both knew what was coming next…the tension was starting to rise in the air between us.

"chaos, I'm not sure if I want to do this…" Shion murmured as she brought her face closer so that our lips were hovering dangerously close to each other.

"Do what?" I asked, my voice taking on a husky tone.

Urges were rising in my body that I hadn't felt before. I knew it was basic instinct…the urge to mate. I wasn't sure if I wanted to do this now with Shion…

"Do this…"

Her lips met mine, sending shivers down my spine. Sweet cinnamon and spice filled my mouth, drowning me in its wake. I responded back carefully, much like a curious child trying something new. After a second or two, she pulled back. I stared back at her.

It was as if I was floating literally through space without all the nasty repercussions. The only other time I've felt like that is when I had blasted down a Cathedral Ship. (Man, that was fun!)

"What was that?" I asked softly.

"Oh, that? Well, I just wanted to do that. Come on, let's enjoy those flowers in my room."

You didn't have tell me twice.
