Chapter Forty: A New Chapter
Mai Pov
"Hurry, close the door." I pointed it out as soon Naru and I entered the treehouse as a dreaded rain began as soon we were heading upstairs. Luckily we didn't get drenched. I rubbed my arms when thunder roars the skies. I jump slightly from fright.
"Well at least it was clear until now," I said causing Naru to turn to look at me with an arched brow.
"It was." he agrees with me.
"I'm exhausted, but that food was good though," I rubbed my stomach feeling filled, (We ate dinner an hour before.)
"Hmm," he simply said as he walks around me. I began to get nervous as Naru look out the window, watching the rain pour out, then he locks it with the plank. I kept rubbing my arms now as Naru turns to look at me.
"Cold?" Naru's voice is deep and mellow, I shook my head.
"No, just thinking that's all," I answered him. Naru just nods at my statement. So I frowned, looking down at the ground. Not sure what to do now and a silence befell over us as I nervously rub my hands once again.
I slowly made my way up to him, feeling my hands shake and my heart tremble. A sensation passes through my body making me shiver slightly. I bit my lower lip.
"We can just go to bed and sleep if your that tired," he suggested taking notice of my nervousness.
Didn't he want a honeymoon? Oh no, do I look that scared?
"We could do that." My voice sounded dry for some odd reason. Naru takes my hand, but, his hands seem clammy for some odd reason. He pulls me upstairs and guides me to our bed.
Each step I felt nervous and anxious as we stop in front of the bed.
Naru starts to unbutton the rest of his buttons since it's hot in the treehouse and took off his shoes and place them to the side. I move my head towards the mirror and stretched my hand to grasp it and lowered it down.
Slowly, I turned my sight towards Naru, to be surprised, he was just watching me. His eyes scanning me, not sure what is he thinking of, but for a reason his stare alone causes me to feel weak in the knees. Breathing in, and since I am already nervous as it is, I took a step back, but I tangle my feet against my dress, causing me to fall backward, so I closed my eyes, waiting for an impact only this time it never came. Naru moved fast, and caught me by my waist, and hoist me back up.
Opening my eyes, I am tilted back, he holds me gently as though we just danced. Our eyes lock, staring at each other, I felt myself go rigid. He straightens me up, clearing his throat.
Blushing now, I rubbed the back of my head.
This is awkward now.
Turning to head downstairs to leave this awkwardness and try to recuperate since nothing will happen today, I took a step and I gasp out in pain since I twisted my foot.
"Ouch." I groaned, bending down to rub my foot, but I felt a strong arm under my legs and on my back, lifting me as a bride. My eyes widen in shock. He gently takes me to my bed and sits me on his lap after he sits down. Without a word, he lifts my bottom dress and presses his hand on my ankle. I hissed a little.
Turning my gaze on him, he kept his eyes on my foot. My heart racing now, as my tummy filled with butterflies.
Tracing his side face of how powerful his jawline is. I shivered from his gentle touch; while he kept touching my foot. My heart pounding harder and harder.
I gulped nervously tilting forward, I gently kiss his cheek. He lifts his gaze moving back, he turns his gaze at me a bit startled while my chest started to warm up. I just smiled at him tenderly.
Naru moves closer, placing his hand on my right cheek and press his lips on my other cheek. Slowly he moves his head away but I grasp his shirt tightly with shaky hands.
His eyes narrow, as I pushed his shirt down slipping it down from his broad shoulders without a word. I move a little to face him completely, and slowly removed his shirt. Now shirtless, since he took off the remainder of the shirt. My body warms up more, as I stare at his chest.
My save heaven, I move my hand and began to caress it feeling Naru shiver under my touch.
Moving down, I press my lips on his shoulder hearing him take an intake. Moving up, without a word, I started to kiss the side of his neck. I felt him arched a bit so he can give me more access. Kissing him gently tasting his soft skin, my warmth started to become hot. Lifting my gaze, Naru's eyes filled with passion and longing almost matching mines.
He stood me up gently and he as well. He bends down and claims my lips as I felt his hand snake behind me taking a hold of my wedding dress zipper and slowly pulls it down.
Then Naru moves and presses his soft warm lips against my neck causing me to gasp, closing my eyes, enjoying his gentle kiss. Slowly he kept lowering my dress until it touched the ground now naked in front of him. Moving my head, I press my lips against his, kissing him passionately, feeling him do the same as he pushed me into him, feeling his big hands roam my bareback, as I did the same.
He grasps my waist and gently lays me down on my bed, as he joins me, by hovering over me. His blue eyes scanning mine. His eyes roam my upper half, with a tender look making me feel shyer. I bit my lower lip, as Naru lowered himself to kiss my tummy, I gasp deeply, from the sudden impact sending a pleasurable feeling through my body. He slowly moves up kissing between my breasts, up to my neck.
Sitting up, I made him sit as well, by pushing his shoulder. Sitting on our knees; looking at his eyes, down to his chest, and I bent down placing my hair to the side, I trace down his chest, pressing my lips on his scar. He looks down at me, as I trace up, kissing him gently just like what he did. Every inch of his chest feeling his breathing is heavy, his chest rapidly moving, something in me felt proud. I wrap my arms around Naru's shoulders.
Naru leans down to kiss my neck very attentively, causing me to bite my lower lip in pleasure. Slowly, he lowers me pressing me down on the bed, keeping up with his rhythm, playing with me. All I could do is breathe hard, moaning a little. His touch is twice as hot as before. Moving down, he kept kissing me, every inch, leaving me breathless while I kiss his cheek roaming my hands down on his broad hot back, arching my body up. Every kiss and every touch from him seems gentle, lovable, and beautiful. He was touching me as though I was a delicate flower as well, treasuring me. I felt my eyes sting with tears, wanting to remember this for the rest of my life.
I took his hand gently and press it on my chest so he can feel my heart beating hard. He stares at me for a brief second while he feels my heart pounding hard. Naru moves above me once again and began to kiss me pressing his knee between my legs. The fire from before resurfaces in me. Spreading my legs, I move my hands, as we kept kissing deeply. I found his pants and unbutton, and unzipping. He seems to get my massage and moves to get rid of them. He throws it next to my dress. Now both naked, he kept kissing me.
Suddenly he grabs my hand and intertwined his fingers with mine.
I lifted my leg, as Naru press himself more to me. He glances down at me, and for the first time, my heart jumps at the expression Naru is giving me.
Shyness, innocence, a hint of desire, protection, security, safety, patience, and respect but what took me by surprise, was that above all that, was love. Pure love in his eyes, as he stares at me. All the emotions, shown in his eyes, are like he dropped all his barriers, all of them, not a single one up. I feel tears running down my cheeks, as I cup his cheek, nuzzling my nose against his, closing my eyes. After all these years, I wouldn't change anything, to be in his arms like this and to see that look he's giving me because I knew deep in my heart I won his trust and his heart.
Capturing his lips he kissed me back gently. Now his chest is heaving harder than ever, just like mine. I couldn't even breathe at times because all I could do, is just feel him, wanting him.
Naru position himself as he separated from me and looks at my eyes to ask me permission to make sure if I was ready or we could stop, but he waited for my permission patiently even though I knew it was hard on him. I felt so touched by this, that I let a few tears run down.
I nodded at him for him to continue because I wanted this as well. I truly do.
As he took me, a soft white light began to surround us and seep into our bodies, joining us completely.
…
Staring at each other, breathing heavily my cheeks flushed while Naru's eyes are dark. Then again he was shaking terribly, but we couldn't stop looking at each other, or I couldn't say anything. Naru either, then, he wraps his arms around me, giving me a very warm hug as I wrap my arms around him as well being careful he won't squish me. I closed my eyes, as fresh tears resurface. He tightens his hug on me, as though he was afraid to let go of me. I didn't mind. Naru moves and stares at me once again. Still shaking, he leans down and kisses my lips very gently causing me to return the kiss with deep passion, arching my body towards him.
Slowly separating, I gave him a soft warm smile as I cup his cheek running my thumb across his sweaty face, he looks so flushed.
Slowly, without disconnecting, since we are still joined, he moves back and pulls me with him. Now I lay on top of his chest, hearing his heart pounding hard against his ribs. He runs his hand through my hair while I closed my eyes, feeling very tired, but at least the fire is gone, replace with a beautiful satisfaction. That starting today. I am truly his as he's mine.
I couldn't help but cry from pure happiness not noticing a white light surrounding us and seeps into our bodies, joining us completely.
Naru pov
A new chapter has begun for us.
We heard the soft pitter-patter of the rain hitting the wood of the treehouse outside a few hours later, indicating the rain has settled down.
"Don't you feel tired?" Mai asks as I continue to kiss her she sat on my lap after we made love, even though we are exhausted, but I couldn't get enough. I continue to kiss her bare neck, down to her shoulder.
"Exhausted," I admit to her.
"Then you should sleep."
"I can't."
"Why not?"
"Because I think this is a dream," I admit to her causing her to arched a brow up.
"Explain."
"It feels surreal on what we just did, I dreamt about it and thought of it, but now that we made love, it just…"
"Incredible? Mind-blowing, different, fulfilling?" she finishes for me. I nodded at her.
"Yes, all of that. I never thought joining like that was, I can't even describe it." I admit, only to feel my cheeks turning warm.
"As though we completed each other?" she finished up for me. I nodded at her once again.
"So you're too energetic, to even sleep even though you're exhausted?" She admits while she kisses my lips.
"I get it, it's weird now as the sense we belong together completely," she admits to me.
"It is," I admit, then she runs her hands down my chest causing me to feel my body quivering while biting her lower lip, and looks back at me with a strange look in her eyes which made my heart skip a beat.
"Do you regret it?" she asks me.
"No, do you?" I asked her, causing her to look at me.
"Yes," she said causing me to stop to look at her a bit frightened by this.
"I'm sorry," I whispered making Mai arching a brow.
"Huh?" she asks confused.
"I didn't stop myself. I made you cry, and.." Mai shakes her head as she kisses my cheek and began to caress it with her nose.
"Naru, I was crying because I'm beyond happy. The reason I said yes is that I regret not doing it earlier, I was scared for nothing. I wanted it. I think I was scared before because we were forced married to each other. It wasn't what we both wanted. Even though we admitted to each other that we do love each other, it felt more like being in a girlfriend and boyfriend relationship. I told you before, I wanted our first time to be special not rushed or anything. Last night, when we got married, I realized that this is what I was waiting for. I wanted it to do it the right way in both of our consent. That both of us wanted it. It was the most beautiful experience of my life. Thank you so much, I wouldn't have had it no other way, it was special and nerve-wracking." Her voice came so tender and her eyes. I felt my heart jump.
"So, don't apologize. I am still embarrassed though." She blushes to avoid my eyes. I gave her a soft smile, capturing her cheek.
"What we did is natural so don't shy from me," I begged, pressing my lips against her. She kisses me back, then I lean my forehead against her. A smile broke out, as she smiles back at me.
"Can we make this our love story?" She whispers closing her eyes and starts to nuzzle her nose against mine. I chuckle at her taking a hold of her hand and ran my fingers through hers.
"What are you imagining now?" I asked while she moves and wraps her arm around me, wrapping my arms around her. I bathed in her warmth.
"Our love story. You once told me that you'll let me do the romance, so I'll include this part as well, minus no details about our lovemaking. I think that's more personal, I want to continue to do it." She whispers. I place my head on the base of her shoulder.
"That's good to know." I smiled feeling my heart at peace, but beating hard at the fact now we can make love anytime without holding back.
It's strange really, I heard guys talk about having sex but feeling empty afterward and such, but I don't feel that way with Mai. To be honest, I feel complete as though I finally found my true self with her. I was right, I can't do what we just did with anyone else because of this feeling I have, I treasure it and it feels right and I know I can never betray Mai to that level. She gave herself to me so I have to treasure that because I know she will always treasure me.
We lock eyes, and I couldn't help but capture her lips against mine, giving her a passionately kiss feeling her hand press on my bareback. I wrap my arm around her waist and spun her around to lay her down without disconnecting from our kiss.
Then we heard Mai's stomach rumbling from hunger, painfully we disconnect as Mai blushed as I arched a brow.
"We just ate a few hours ago," I told her she shrugs, covering her face.
"We worked out a lot," she said feeling my face turn red. I lowered her hands down and kiss her forehead as I remove the quilt and when I move my heart drops to my stomach when my eyes made contact with something I didn't like.
I glance up at her as she looks down at me with a questionable look.
"What?" she asks as she was about to look down, I move rapidly and place my arms under her armpits and lift her in my arms to pick her up.
"Ne, Naru?" she asks confused by this. I took her away from the bed and place her down. She covers herself with her arms. Rapidly I gather the blanket of my bed and wrap it around her.
"Damn," I hissed while grabbing my dirty pants and immediately put them on. Turning around, I took a hold of her right arm. She gasps, looking up at me.
"What?" she asks, as I turned my gaze towards her bed. She follows, and she tilts her head to the side. She moves back to look down at herself, then her eyes widen to see blood.
"Oh no." she covers her cheeks, looking anywhere but me. I rolled my eyes as I took the blanket from my bed, and drape it around her shoulders. Bending down, I turn to face my back at her.
"Ne?"
"Get on my back," I told her.
"Why? I can walk. That was because…" she paused, clearing her throat. I turned my head.
"Because I took you and hurt you at the progress. Proof that you became mine. Mai, don't feel embarrassed. You too took my first time, so we are in the same boat, the difference is that I hurt you. So get on my back, and don't argue." I told her. Trying to make her feel less embarrassed.
"I know, I took your first time, I am very happy about that, but that is embarrassing for you to see. No matter what. Even though you're my husband." She blushed even more.
"Mai, just get on my back," I order her, with my stern voice. She frowns, then I heard her gasp turning around I see her cover her mouth, pointing at my back.
"What?" I asked, confused.
"I scratch you. I'm sorry," her voice turned to panic as I reach out and touch my back, to feel small lines, then I trace down, to touch my shoulder, remembering that she bit me. I smirked,
"It doesn't hurt, nor did I felt it. Don't worry," she didn't seem to convince.
"I'm not mad at you, I hurt you as well just call it even." I simply told her.
"Well, I don't like hurting you, but if you say so." She nods, adjusting the blanket. She moves and wraps her arms around me. Hoisting her up, placing my hands around her bare legs, she tightens her grip on me. I shivered, feeling her naked body press firmly on me.
Don't think of it.
I told myself, heading down. Heading for the chest, I open it and bend down. Mai holds me tighter, so she won't fall.
"What are you planning?" She asks, I shivered from her soft breath brush against my ear. I picked the first dress, and the first pants and shirt I found. Closing the chest, I turned to head out.
I felt Mai adjust the blanket around her, so she can cover me as well.
"Your back is warm." She whispers, placing her cheek on my shoulder snuggling more into me. I straighten, even more, looking up at the night sky as the rain finally stopped, everything is moist and dripping.
Enjoying her warmth as well.
I want to go to the stream.
Before I could speak, I was now in front of the waterfalls. Mai lifts her head, and her eyes widen.
"You used your powers?"
"I don't trust walking at night, especially barefooted," I told her, and I didn't want to let her go. I like her like this. She tightens the blanket around me.
"Can we stay like this for a few?" she whispers. I nodded. Then I heard laughter pass her lips, making me turn my head to stare at her. She jumps slightly, kissing my lips rapidly.
"I'm so happy," she whispers, as another giggle escapes her lips, placing her cheek once again on my shoulder. I felt happy as well, content, and at peace.
"I want time to stop. I want to stay like this forever. In your embrace. I don't want it to be over or wake up, to find out that is all a dream." She surprises me, when she wiggles herself, around me, using her strength, and kept the blanket on her. Now she faces me, her legs wrap around my waist. Her eyes shining more than ever. I wrap my arms under her behind, so she won't fall.
"You are a little worm." I teased her causing her to blush.
"I wanted to see you." She moves her hand and brushes my bangs away from my eyes.
"Better, now I can see your eyes." She whispers looking at me, as though I was the greatest thing in the world. I gave her a gentle smile.
"Can you freeze time for us?" she whispers, I shook my head.
"I only freeze things, not time," I told her.
She pouts but then smiles using her forefinger to make small circles on my skin.
"Too bad. I wanted to stop time. Then I live this up. I'm yours, and that is something to be proud of. I know I had said it many times. I just can't get tired of saying it. You're the man of my life. I wouldn't change it. It's so liberating, to say it to you now, instead of shying away, or fear of your rejection." She whispers, lowering her head and kisses my neck. I shivered, closing my eyes.
"It is. I was just a kid back then."
"Yes, you were. You see how my feelings for you are very real. Since I was sixteen. It will never dull out. I loved you in the past." She moves up and presses her lips against mine. I kissed her back, as she takes hold of my cheeks, deepening the kiss.
She breathes hard, as she lets go and closed her eyes, to gently brush her face with mine, savoring it.
"So we take a bath? Or just stay here all day?" I asked her.
"Stay like this all day. I want to be in your arms," she blushes, wrapping her arms around me, and gave me a warm hug. I smiled once again, moving my hand, to press it on her back.
As I. I want to bathe in your warmth.
"Your heavy, I can't be holding you all day," I told her, she goes rigid and moves back.
"Oh, sorry," she starts to jiggle on my embrace, as I chuckled at her innocence. Placing her down gently, and looking down at her. I capture her cheeks and smile deeply at her while her cheeks turn a darker red.
"Mai, all I want to tell you, is thank you, thank you for being my patient wife, to put up with me. Last night, for making it unforgettable. I know it was hard for you."
"No, thank you for waiting for me for seven years, I thank you for being understandable. Same here, ah. I forgot to ask." She shyly asks me. I blinked.
"Hmm?" she looks down very shy.
"Was I good?" her question caught me by surprise. I wrap my arms around her and press my hand on the back of her head.
"Well, I can't compare to you to no one, but.." I smirked, moving my head to face her ear and drop my voice to a desiring tone.
"You were more than good, and I can just eat you up."
Mai Pov
A new chapter has begun for us.
I can just eat you up.
His words still echo in my head making me want him to eat me in a good way and that was four days ago.
"Well, this is something, right?" I whispered, placing my hands on my hip watching him pound on the boat with a rock.
"It's progress," he admits while wiping his sweaty forehead.
I tilt my head, frowning at his work.
"It doesn't look right, I'm no expert I think that plank should be more upper," I told him. He moves to my side and crosses his arms inspecting the boat.
"Where?" he couldn't see what I saw. I move forward and touch the bottom part of the boat and pat it.
"This part. Seems off. I think it should be raised more and place a wood fragment at the bottom, so it won't leak." I told him. He blinks bending down touching the plank.
"You're right. How did you know?" he asks. I shrugged, rubbing the back of my head.
"I don't know, just did. " I place my braided hair towards my right shoulder looking out at the ocean. I can see the clouds gathering.
"Looks like rain," I whispered. Naru lifts himself and turns, glancing up. He nods, moving around the boat, and places a blanket above it.
It's been four days, since our first time. Since then, he hasn't touched me. He just simply pecks my lips or holds my hand. I don't mind. Now, we share one bed. That's a plus side. As well, that day, when he took me to the stream. He washed me gently and his hands were very tender with his strokes. I miss it already.
I warmed up from the memories, wishing to do it again while I subconsciously hugged myself daydreaming to be in his arms again.
"Mai, wake up." I heard at a distance. I blinked looking up at him.
"Sorry, what?"
"Stop daydreaming and pull that side and tuck it in." Naru orders, as he grunts while placing some heavy rocks on top of the blankets.
After we finished, I dusted my hands and sat on the sand, tucking my legs. Naru sits next to me and hands me a coconut. I took it and sipped it.
"Thanks," I whispered.
"Do you feel better?" he asks me. I blinked looking back at him.
"Yeah, way better, but a bit sore though," I admit to him, then it dawns on me.
Maybe he's worried since I was bleeding a bit since he made love to me? To be honest, I don't even remember being that painful, just a bit uncomfortable at first, but the rest is history.
"Ah, too bad." He whispers, taking a sip of his coconut. Knowing very well, that he doesn't even like it. I frowned.
"Too bad?"
"Nothing," he added. I rolled my eyes at him and stretched my arm out yawning.
"I was wondering, why do you call me a worm?" I turned to stare at him. Naru shrugs looking down at his hands as he lifts his leg.
"Cause you look like one, is all I can say. Have you had any dreams?" He suddenly asks me. I shook my head.
"Since we found the body, I haven't."
"Oh,"
"What's wrong?"
"I feel strange. Not sure why, but something big is coming and I don't like it." He admits as I felt him take my hand lacing our fingers. I leaned my head against his shoulder, while we both stare at the ocean.
"What's new about that?"
"Nothing, but is just a strange feeling, so far it hasn't failed us." He was right and now I'm getting worried.
"I was thinking about the missing page." He began as he suddenly lays on my lap, facing upwards to look at me. I look down as he places his coconut down.
"What about?" I asked while I began to play with his hair.
"I was thinking deeply, and I think I know where to look for the page, if you were Ayame, where exactly will you hide it?" he questions me catching me off guard.
"Somewhere that no one can find it."
"Exactly, the first half was inside of a wall, so, I'm guessing she had the second inside of the treehouse which is the safest, but too obvious, so it as well can be near the treehouse. I haven't thought about it before, but we are running out of time. " He whispers.
"Shall we look for it today?"
"The sooner the better."
"Now?" I complained, he shook his head.
"In a bit,"
"Naru," I felt nervous as he lifted my hand to play with my fingers.
"Hmm?"
"Are you happy about our honeymoon?" I asked him. Naru went still for a brief second and rose his gaze at me.
"Yes, it's been peaceful," was his honest answer. I licked my lips.
"You know, I still want to go to that place we went to last time, with the beautiful water," I told him. He squints his eyes confused by my words.
"What place?" he asks. I suddenly blushed but I lowered myself and press my lips on him giving him soft peck kisses.
"Where you went missing for five months. When you took me to meet Kyoko," I told him. Naru began to return the kisses as I felt him trying to figure out what I'm talking about.
"Oh, you want to go there." He finally realized. I nodded at him as I kiss his forehead.
"Yeah, now we can swim and make love there," I said. Naru licks his lips and I felt him shrug as I straighten up.
"Now that I'm better with my power we can go, but give me a few more weeks to make sure I nailed it down. I don't want to mess it up," he said as he suddenly sat up, and to my surprise, he wraps his arms around me, from behind and leans his chin on my shoulder. I place my hand on his arm rubbing it gently.
"Alright, I can't wait. What's wrong though?" I asked him. He shook his head like a kid feeling him rub his forehead on the back of my head.
"I told you, I have this bad feeling." He said in a serious tone. I leaned against him closing my eyes.
"This is not like you though."
"Hmm," was all he said as I began to feel him trace my arm with the tip of his fingers sending shivers down my spine.
"Hmm," I teased him back feeling him holding me tighter. I don't know why, but this felt strange, he means this.
He's scared.
"Naru, can you guess what I'm thinking?" I asked him. He slips his arms around my waist and somehow he spun me around making me gasp. Forgetting about my question.
Then he leans down and captures my lips against his, pulling me into him feeling his hands on my back, feeling it strong as I cup his cheeks intensifying the kiss causing a small moan to escape me. I was breathless, feeling blissful under his strong lips, dominating every part of me.
Slowly we separate as he flutters his eyes open and looks at me. I was panting hard looking at Naru with desire and love. I watch him lick his lips once again and I couldn't help but bite my lower lip. Then I couldn't resist any longer and lowered myself down and planted one in him, making him lose his balance that he fell back, but I felt his hands on my waist, as I separated from him.
"Sorry, are you okay?" I felt concerned, but he doesn't say anything but lilt forward and began to kiss my neck causing me to roll my eyes. I run my hands down his chest as he lifts his leg causing me to lay between them. While he tortures me, he lowers his hand and began to lift the bottom of my dress, but then as sweet and tempting it went, he suddenly stops and pulls back breathing hard.
"Why… Why did you stop?" I said breathlessly as I bend down to kiss his cheek down to his neck aching to have him again. He suddenly and gently sat up, making me sit on his lap.
"Naru?"
"Promise me that you will listen to me no matter what and that you'll protect yourself." he pleads to me. I nodded, as every passion died down and just and longing and ache came over me. I wrap my arms around his shoulders and held him tightly. I felt his big hands incircle around me, holding me into his warm embrace.
"I promise, and you too, please." I leaned against him feeling him nod as he held me tight.
For the next hour, we just held each other enjoying each other company as we talk about nonsense and joked around and eat some fruits, yet, I knew that didn't help Naru, to be at ease at all.
And with that he stands then he bends in front of me showing me his back, I blinked confused at his actions.
"Back." He just says.
"Again? Won't it hurt your back?"
"Just get in my back, it doesn't matter Mai, I'll let you know." He said to assure me.
Shaking my head in disagreement, I did what he told me and he wraps his arm around my legs. Hoisting me up, he starts to slowly walk towards the treehouse.
"I could have walked," I told him, but he shrugs at me.
"Just stop complaining." He murmurs smiling, I place my cheek on the base of his shoulder blades.
He's so warm, and his scent always the same, tea, but with a hint of nature now, pines.
I snuggled more. Naru smirks at me.
"You think I have a power?"
"I think so. If you could illuminate that light, I do not doubt that you have some other powers. I think is time to talk to our past selves. See if we can get more out of it." He tells me.
"Okay." I agree with him. I nuzzle the back of his head, just enjoying this, feeling Naru relax a bit. Yet, I felt every inch of his body grow stiff as he stops walking.
"Mai," he said tightly feeling his grip on me turning tighter. I lifted my gaze and my heart stop. Standing in front of our house, Ayame, and Isac facing us.
"I need you to find the head,"Isac mentions as he growled at us. Naru took a step back.
"Aren't you mad, that we burned the body?" I asked him. Isac smirks at me, showing me his fangs.
"You did what I wanted you to do. The head and he's over."
"Isac, what did Alack did to you?" Naru asks, feeling him tighten his grip on me. Isac snaps his head at him,
"Find me the head, and I show you. Simple as that. Ayame, come," and with that, he disappears. I groaned in frustration.
"Great. Another mission for him and no explanation. I hate this."
"No, it's better, after six months, we finally are getting somewhere. The case is almost solved." Naru explains.
"It is? Wait." I gasped, as he turns his face to face me.
"You have it figured it out, don't you." I accused him. Knowing his tone too well. He slightly nods.
"Just a few more puzzles, and yes, I almost. There's one puzzle that I can't quite figure out." I rolled my eyes, as he started to head up the stairs.
"I have forgotten how calculated you are. So, where do we start page hunting?"
"Now," and before I could ask, I found myself on the second floor, facing the mirror, Naru smirks at me as his eyes turned cold.
"Well," I look down at him.
"I have an idea." He whispers, moving in closer to the mirror and stares at it. I place my chin on his shoulder and he kept his hands tight on my legs.
I gave him a soft smile, shivering from the seriousness pass his face.
"My dear husband, what in the world are you thinking of?" I asked. Naru lets go of one of my legs and presses it on the glass.
"We are going to see where Ayame hid it. As well, we are going to relive Alice and Sasuke life's, once again."
I'm glad you'll like their wedding day... I did to, Yes, Gene is more open, Naru is to stiff. Lol, but it's sweet that they bonded and he accepted whatever Gene gave him which is so sweet. I hope the honeymoon was sweet, I switched it a bit. I not sure if I like this one or the other... But it's sweet.
