Izumi traced her lips with her fingers she could still feel Keigo's lips against her own. She had pushed him away and ran locking herself in the bathroom. The feeling she had gotten when he kissed her, frightened her. She had never felt such a feeling it was warm and sent tingles throughout her whole body.

Startled by a frantic knock on the door she rushed to lock it.

"Izumi please come out" Keigo pleaded his hand flat to the door. worry plain on his face he felt disgusted with himself. For once he hated his habit of acting before thinking. "I'm sorry I kissed you" he continued hoping she would answer him.

"Don't be" She whispered loud enough for Keigo to hear. She sighed "I've never felt that way before, it scares me".

Keigo should have known that Izumi was deprived of positive emotions. She never felt safe or loved anywhere even in what was supposed to be her home.

"Will you let me come in" He never got a response but the lock clicked and the door opened slightly. Walking in he saw Izumi with her back to the tub knees to her chest. Keigo was shocked when she lunged at him wrapping her arms around him.

"Why do I feel this way" she mumbled into his paint coved shirt."My heart won't stop racing".

"That feeling is affection. I adore you Pretty Bird" Kei said cupping her cheek running his thumb back and forth.

Izumi leaned into Keigo's hand loving the warmth that spread through her. She had seen couples on the street but no one had ever had those kinds of feelings for her until now.

"Let me show you," He whispered getting a nod from Izumi he kissed her.

Reaching up Izumi circled her arms around Keigo's neck pulling him closer. When they parted both were breathless, half lid green eyes looked up into the hawks like ones above.

"That felt nice" Izumi whispered mostly to herself as she put her forehead to Keigo's strong chest.

"It did. Pretty Bird let me take you out tonight." Keigo blurted out getting a shy smile from Izumi.

"I'd enjoy that very much" she answered back.

The two soon separated Izumi staying in the bathroom while Keigo headed to his own to wash off the paint and get ready.

Izumi p.o.v

As I scrubbed off the dark paint the water pelting me in the face as I thought about what had happened only moments ago. I could still feel his hands tangled in my hair and his lips on mine. Shaking off those thoughts, I stepped out of the shower pulling on the robe hanging on the back of the door my wings fitting through the slits in the back. Pecking out I made sure Keigo was already in his room before leaving for my room. Locking the door I smiled lightly seeing my bags of clothes on the floor next to the dresser.

"Now what should I wear," I said looking through my new clothes for something nice. once I had decided I played my choice out on my bed before turning back to the mirror to style my hair.

3person p.o.v

Keigo paced back and forth as he waited for Izumi to come out. He stopped when the door of her room came open. When she came out he nearly fainted at the sight of her. Izumi had her hair up in a braided bun a black ribbon holding it together. He had never seen her in a skirt or in heels before and he can't help but think that she was the most beautiful woman he had laid eyes on.

"Shall we go My Lady?" he said holding out his arm to Izumi. leading her out the door when she takes it.
