Chapter 3: Hard awakening

The sun was passing trough the windows.

Momiji was having the best dream of her life and the best sleep too! But she couldn't remember why...

Kusanagi had eventually managed to get some sleep and now he was sleeping as a baby.

Momiji felt the sun on her face… "Hmm, why must I wake up? I feel so right…But I don't remember having such a nice pillow… But… (she was touching) it's not a pillow!" Myyyy ohhhh myyyy, it can't be possible, it was a MAN! She opened slowly her eyes… Ouf, at least, it was HER man, well I mean her boyfriend! He was so cute, he seemed so peaceful.

She looked around her and recognized the room of the inn and the dressing table.

She looked at his lips, so tenting… she approached her face from him, a little kiss won't kill them, ne?

She was so closed and her heart was beating…. That's when she heard a big noise…

"MOMIJIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII"

Oh oh, it didn't seem good! It was Kunikida's voice and he had practically broken the door of the room!

"Momiji, what do you think you are doing?" His face was red and he was very very angry.

Takeuchi was holding his right arm "Please, Kunikida calm down… I'm sure there is a good explanation of the situation, ne Momiji?"

It was the time Kusanagi woke up, his eyes were still closed and he was semi-conscious: "Hey Momiji, didn't I tell you last night to make less noise… I know you do that just because you want me to hold you in my arms… come here…"

Kunikida - "Kusanagi, are you kidding me?" Stay away from her, I don't want her to be hurt, I hope you didn't do what I think this night or I will KILL youuuuuuuuuu"

Momiji finally left Kusanagi's embrace. Too bad, it was so comfortable…

Kusanagi – "Don't worry Kunikida, I will never hurt her". He was very calm. "Can I just ask you what you are doing in our room?"

Kunikida – "I don't know who left you sleep together but… I will also KILL this person… What am I doing here? Well do you what time is it? It's 9:30am! And yesterday I told you to be at the desk of the inn at 9am! I imagined a lot of scenario for you two to being late but not this one! When the person of the desk told me that "a young couple" went to bed lately, I understood it was YOU! YOU!" … "Kusanagi I will KILL you, I promise…"

Takeuchi – "Please calm down…" She turned to our cute couple "I propose we are going to the onsen, I try to calm him and you join us as quickly as possible, ok?"

Kusanagi and Momiji said a barely audible "okay" and Takeuchi took Kunikida out the room.

Momiji was watching Kusanagi, he was laughing! She couldn't understand what was funny about the whole situation but, you know, man philosophy…

When he saw her disbelieved look, he said "Don't worry, he will get used to this"!

He meant that… no… He wanted to sleep with her again! She felt excited and scary at the same time… but sleeping in his arms every night was a very nice perspective!

She smiled at him and threw herself in his arms. Now, it was him that had a disbelieved look.

Momiji – "And you, you will have to get used to this!" He planted a kiss in her head; finally it was a nice sensation to sleep with her in his arms.

Kusanagi – "I'm sorry to break this enjoyable moment but I think we have to hurry if we don't want Kunikida to kill us!"

Momiji – "Hmmm I know… such a shame… We take a quick breakfast, I'm hungry".

Kusanagi – "Okay, I will look for something while you get dressed"

And with these last words, he stood up slowly so she wasn't aware that he was taking her with him! She was now in his arms.

Momiji – "AHhhhhhhhhhhhh, what are you doing?

Kusanagi – "I just want to make a test"

Momiji – "A test?"

Kusanagi – "Yes, when I hold you like this, it's always when I'm flying so I was wondering if you were as lightweight… because when I hold you, it's very easy, I was just wondering if it was because of the flight."

Momiji hit him hard on the head, "Ouch!" and said "you are so very un-romantic sometimes!".

She let her hands behind his neck! Big mistake my girl!

Naturally and without thinking, there faces were going to touch. Oh no, he is going to kiss me, yes, no? I want to kiss him! Shut up butterflies in my stomach!

Kusanagi didn't know what to do, damn their natural attraction, maybe… maybe one light little kiss will be no harm…

He is dangerously approaching! Okay girl calm, calm!

Then, he remembered the words of Valencia about Momiji. "It's her choice, she wants to be with you no matter what you are or you should become"1

Yes, no matter… She looked so kissable at this moment, he couldn't disappoint her anymore, man, she thinks we are meant to be together, well she doesn't say it but her question…

Okay man, go!

And eventually, he planted a sweet kiss on her lips. She closed her eyes, He is kissing me! He is kissing me! And it's so nice…

Kusanagi was also enjoying the kiss but a flash in his head reminded him of what might happen… He tested his body… no it didn't seem he was becoming a freak! Firs step was successfully passed!

She sensed his concern, opened her eyes and stopped the kiss. She was blushing. He watched her in the eyes, she looked so adorable.

Momiji – "Kusanagi, Are you okay? I mean… you hadn't sense something... I mean… not about me but about you… Oh shit! I can explain myself correctly!"

Kusanagi – "Since when you say "shit"? and before you ask again, no it doesn't seem I'm being affected by this kiss… I mean, I'm affected… but in a positive way!" He looked at her in a seducing way and she "double-blushed"! (yes, it's possible!)

Kusanagi – "Okay Momiji! Let's definitely getting prepared for going to the onsen!"

………………..

Meanwhile, somewhere an energy was awakening slowly….

……………….

To be continued….

Don't worry, I just add a little action to my fanfiction, but it stays a "romance"…

Thanks for reading! And see you in next chapter!

A special thanks to Humor Queen Merc for my first ever review!
