'Well, it didn't took her long enough to jump onto action. The guy would've had taken even much longer than her, though.' The barman with the dark wavy auburn long hair and dark torn up KISS t-shirt had peered out with an intrigued rose up eyebrow at the sudden kiss as he cleaned up the glass. He was often used up at people getting over each other's skin or even making out onto his bar out much, that he had often gotten out of the sight here before it became way much worse.
He shook up his head with a teasing smirk. Young love.
This was finally way better than being an lonely billionaire or an tennis teacher coach. The job was a bit dangerous because of the catfights or the nighttime job, but still he did liked it when strangers found theirs soulmates here. It wasn't always the case but it made him smile deep down inside. Like those two over here. Sailor Mars and Pheonix, the knight whom had once protected the reincarnation of the Godness Athena before. A man with an hundred scars under his shoulders as a baggage. A weird couple, but whom had a lot in common in a way.
Wouldn't the first time, though.
"Oy man, another beer round here!" The men over at the table away over at the left side had yelped out that had awakened up from his reverie as he looked up at them. Three young men and three women who wanted nothing but having fun here, tonight. Kids.
"Come on, Nephrite!" The three women had called up his name over and over as if they cheered him for his attractive looks here. Another way to get even better tips at the end of the night.
"Alright, alright.." He sighed back with defeat and went back to his job as he took an and big empty pitcher and went over to the sink as he pressed onto the handler when thoughts had taken him away when he looked around here at the noisy bar. But still, with a very good point. People were happy and having the time of their lives here under Bonnie Tyler's memorable tracks. He kinda wished the same thing happened to him here.
People gathering around together, he kinda wished wished it would happen to him too. Like it did happen for him a few years ago.
When he set his eyes upon a young teenage high school, red haired girl that had captived his heartbeat after a longtime living into the darkness and saved him. And now that he was sent back onto earth, this very same girl, turned into a beautiful woman had become a very wise and mature person as she worked long hours as a brave nurse. She often said she was alone and that somehow her job helped her to forget that she was alone or the way her mother still wished she worked along with her at her own jewerly shop. However, she did take another path here and it to was and to heal people. Like she had healed him in a way. Nephrite had been right about that now. Naru had become a brave and beautiful woman now. And stronger as he could remember. After all she had healed and changed him into a better man. "And Zoicite had often call me a fallen weak a fool!"
An ex-general of Queen Beryl that fell in love with a human girl that had loved him back as he laid onto her arms, dying with an smile. But things were different now. If she ever come around and tell him who he is, he wouldn't lie to her anymore. I wouldn't anymore. I just need to be patient now.
Naru would remember him, someday. He deeply, wished deep down.
And hoped someday, he'll captivate up her heart in return and in order to become a normal human man now. He just needed her love now. Someday, but don't wait too long.
And often she had come up before and had a few drinks which he did served her a few bourbon drinks when she grounchedly or more like cursed over the days or nights shifts she often had before. Shits days as she had called when it made him release a nervous chuckle back on like she used to. Damn, this woman had warmed up his heart no matter how long it had been now. As it often made him smile with nostalgic memories. Maybe, Naru would take him back. Love him, . Be patient.
Had her memories came back. Maybe. She'll fall in love with him again. Like she had many years ago. Or else, Nephrite would gladly wait for another eternity in order to be with her. One day.
"Yo, dude-" The guy at the left had called him again as he goaned back deep down into his throat with annoyance. Too bad, Azusa, the other dark haired woman and bartender was called up sick and there he was working up alone, the girls laughed back at his weird startled expression here. Which he did blushed up a bit with embarassement.
"Okay, okay! I'm comin up!" He had called out as he finished pouring out the beer into the pitcher and moved out as fast as he could. Leaving the couple alone here. Weird couple.
Sailor Mars and Knight Pheonix together as they shared an everlasting kiss here. Hot and fiery kiss.
One day, Nephrite. He thought himself back determinated. One day. Naru would come around.
He hoped up to that thought, deep down here.
Unless, Naru remembered him.
And they'll share that Chocolate Parfait together like they've promised. Like he promised before he died into her arms. But had comeback way more stronger and with a much better purpose to live.
"Hiya! Nephrite!" The women were waving back at him with a certain droolling smile here which he did revealed back with embarassement. A certain dream man with a name that came up from the stars. Leaving the guys with envy jealousy. Kids. He nervously chuckled back. Seriously, man? How weird can this thing ever get?
"Someone called for a beer round?" As if he had nothing better to do now. When he poured the beer into theirs glasses.
What a way to return back into the human world.
...
Seriously, Rei? What the heck had she been?
What the heck had dragged her up, to do it? To kiss up the very first man here and to the man she hadn't quite gotten to know unless it was for the drinking. And yet, Rei had slowly made up her way to this stranger and kissed him. Not like this familiar barman had suggested her to do so.
And this man had called her. His body didn't, but his eyes had certainly did so. Ikki, he named himself without introducing himself. Blue hair with a strong attirance unlike other guys she had meet. Unlike Mamoru or Yuuchirou Kamada or any other men she had meet at . Ikki was something that she hadn't been attracted before. And unlike Usagi or Makoto, she wasn't the kind of the woman fall for a man without any value. And this man, Ikki had something that had attracted up to her. Like this pull wouldn't go away ever since she had landed her eyes onto him.
And this familiar barman didn't even seemed to object either.
All it mattered to her, it was this stranger Ikki here. And the way he called her beautiful. It made her heart weak, skip a up a beat even. It had been n such alongtime since she had been called beautiful even when it came from a man.
Stranger. A man whom seemed to share the same power like she had. Still has. But hidden, until now.
This fiery and angry aura around him. Like it had never left him for many years until she had awakened him. Like a dead Pheonix that had seemed to rise from his dead ashes now. After Peace had been resolved and brought up onto earth, Scouts had no longer ways to fight for Queen Serenity, Usagi or for Selene, the Godness of the Moon, through the greek mythology. All of them were now having normal active and normal lives now. If so, than why, had she come up to kiss this man's lips out of nowhere?
A sign? Unless, she had a vision.
Nope that didn't worked anymore, unless it was an emergency or a warning thought.
Maybe because it was more than destiny. Some lonely man with the same fate such as her had wanted her so badly until she made the first move. After a few alchoholic beverages through her system.
Crazily.
It scared her to even think a certain fire strength had awoken up though this sensual kiss.
She let her own body move along the way as she moved and sat through his lap and leaned over him to brush a kiss onto these awaitening kissing lips here. A sexy stranger with the blue hair and leathered black jacket here as he held hard onto his hold and as his fingers ran through her long bouncy black hair locks.
She was as deeply sure when Ikki felt the same here.
Fire on the edge here.
Damn. She wanted more, here..
Come on.
Come on!
...
Alive. Ikki felt so alive and risen up from its ashes. His heart was racing up, madly and so fast that it would probably stop or more like explode, here.
This woman made him feel so alive.
Like a dying pheonix and had comeback from death.
And yet this woman was here and devouring his mouth as if there were no tomorrow, so much as he wringled his fingers through her long black hair locks, as he resposed back up to her moanings. Or was his own groaning sounds through her mouth? He felt so mixed. Everything all at once, here. And yet this burning passion had brought back to life. Her own burning passion gave him the pleasure of wanting to live up again.
Love burning up deep down onto his soul.
A feeling that he almost had forgotten for a minute, until Rei had come along. She has this uncontrolling but desiring burning cosmos that makes my heart want to explode, here. Ikki was so sure about it and moaning when he felt his erection wanting to get action. Hold on, a bit, here. He sworned to himself as he almost fell down from his bar stool, here.
He felt so lonely as he had watched his warrior co-pals driving through neverending passionate but complicate relationships situations. Ikki could've had envied them for being so selfish.
Seiya, a ladies's man. With Marine, Shaina, Miho and Saori, his own queen which he was sworn to serve as a knight.Pff, right..
Shun, had one and only woman whom he trained with June, friend and partner as Andromeda's partner. His brother had it easy, and yet was often confused with his feelings here.
Hyoga, unlike Seiya, has an questioning relationship when it came to women and probably with men, wasn't quite ready for an relationship through he had an eye on Seiya's friend and partner, Miho's friend, Eiri or worse with Saga, Milo or worse his own master Camus. He was still stuck through Siberia along with his deceased mother. Crazy lunatic kid..
And Shiryu? He was the worst of all of them. He made the girl of his dreams cry as he had chosen his duties over her, so many times. Truly, Shunrei deserved way more than him. She sure deserves better than this whacko guy. Had he been the dragon saint, he would've had chosen the woman and the very same one who sworn to love him until her last breath, like the time when her life had been at risk when DeathMask had tried to kill her through telepath in only to hurt more Shiryu, deeply. Unless the guy have brains enough to be smart enough here and realize his feelings to his old master's adopted daughter, here and way before it would be too late.
Just like he had been late to save her.
Esmeralda.
Her death had still caused him to bear uncounting nightmares up to his mind. So much, and yet, Rei had sort of made him feel better in a unexplained way.
Shiryu better take his ass onto his own hands or else. The ex-Pheonix knight groaned with disgust at this thought, so much that he could almost-
Ikki held tighter the dark haired woman closer to him as he felt her arms driving him closer to her breasts, here. Hot. He let out a moan through her kisses. God, it was hot in here.
But he needed that distraction. He needed. He needed, but couldn't forget..Couldn't forget Esmeralda.
Like Esmeralda deserved better than death. Had she lived, Ikki would've had dropped up as a saint and may had living the normal life of any men. And yet, he felt like Shiryu took Shunrei for granted. Choosing the life of a saint of Athena instead of staying with her in peace. He was the most imbecile of them all. Leaving the poor girl alone with the never enduring suffering that any woman would have to go through.
And yet Rei Hino had walked through his path. Strangely.
Beautiful, sensual, but fearless and headstrong. His own equal partner and woman. To dream off. Caught his breath away now.
And out of nowhere, here.
And with this attracting and fiery power within her.
And she stood onto his arms right now like fire.
Her kisses were like fire, here brnging him back to life as the phoenix had often done so. Despite the undying pain throughtout his heart.
It felt so good to be alive-
And..God. How strong and sensual she stood across right through his lap and kissing him fierly here. Close enough as he felt her fingers trying to put away his jacket. Gosh, what?
She wanted to to do it, here? Right here?
Seriously? What on earth was she thinking? Dude, she was drunk here. Of course she doesn't know what the heck she was doing right here and now. Despite his cock wanted to get attached up to her, Ikki managed to stop her when her lips brushed up down onto his neck.
"Wait, wait.."
"Don't let me stop, I don't think I can-" She breathed out through his kisses, until he shoved her out, brutally.
"Stop! Enough!" He shushed out of his lap as she landed right back onto her seat. He tried to get back over his breath as she looked back towards him. Her breasts inahiling her breathing air, looking back as she was dark long hair in a mess as her lips were reddished up.
How beautiful she looked here.
His heart beat rose way more than he could remember, way more than he could've believed. He couldn't believe it either. And they say that a pheonix rise up from its ashes. Ikki didn't believed it at first with the way his training at been brought up at the Island of the doom and with Esmeralda's death had stayed locked up deep down in his heart. It stayed marked up as he had been a prisoner as if he had never left the island. He had been called the most strong knight, but he wasn't when it came to his feelings. Not strong enough to hide his feelings. His attraction.
Love.
"I get it." She decided to put back onto her coat and was about to leave the bar stool, when he reached up her wrist and held her back as she held back a annoyed groan. He could tell as her power had connected to him. The dead pheonix had risen up a bit. He moaned back with pain when she still looked away from him.
She was a firestarter. His firestarter. The woman with the sexy legs. Long and bouncy black hair. Heck of a stubborn and strong woman-
"Rei.."
"I've gotta get going.." Oh man, she looked upset and way too much expecting that something would happen for the two of them, here.
"Wait..I didn't meant-"
"I know what you've meant-"
"It's just that it'll be better elsewhere than here.." The dark haired woman had stopped her movement when she heard up his voice. Her eyes glowed up with disappointement and with interest. He felt awful. She felt as if shad been used up here when he tried to explain things a bit better.
"Don't ya think?" Ikki had added up despite his head spinning up a bit here when she turned her head right back to him.
And yet, she looked unsure.
"It's way too much of a crowd and too noisy, don't ya think?" Ikki had followed up with a smirk here hoping she'll get the hint sooner than ever. Unlike Esmeralda and Pandora, this Rei girl looked fearless and mean when it came to guys like him as if she had fought them before.
A weird feeling had said to him or so.
She wasn't scared of anything unless it was for an unknown feeling that he hadn't known about.
Unless she was scared of him.
Or of the attraction their own power had in common, together.
After all, she was the one whom controlled the fire.
His own match.
...
Crap. Rei had never felt so much ashamed when a man had pushed out of her embrace. What the heck was that, for? Was she such a bad kisser? No! She wasn't, or else he would've had had pushed far away from him, earlier. No. Ikki had enjoyed her kisses and way she've would had had thought.
But what made him do or so? Maybe he was an too much gentleman to reject her.
Never fall for the first date, only after forty dates has often jokedly said Makoto before. It had been Jupiter's main rule when it came to letting go of a woman's feelings towards a man.
Makoto had her own way to deal with men and often reminded the girls before they've decided to go more stronger with men. As a female cop, she had often been disappointed with men.
Rei had been as well.
However, it changed with Ikki had come along. A strong wicked man. Dangerous man whom she had often forbidden herself to not fall for. He had these playful blue but sad eyes here.
With a strong and frightening fire power, here. She couldn't explain it, very well, but it was quite obvious to not think about it.
Heck sexy guy with his leathered jacket. Who could refuse him? She couldn't stopped herself from looking up at him when her heart riseen up way more than she've had thought here. He looked like he felt guilty and ashamed here. Violet eyes that had reminded him of rare violet flowers. Seriously?
"Rei?"
"Alright. Alright. Let's get going, here.." She had cut him out of his line as she stood out from the bar stool and wriggled as if she was about to lose balance here. Stupid girl, she've thought back up as she tried to get out out of the bar and walked out, until a pair of strong arms had caught her up here.
"Oh crap." You stupid drunk girl..Shouldn't had had taken these vodka drinks, she reminded herself here.
"Come on, Rei, I'll carry you home.." But her hands shook too much here as he tried to assure her when he stood up from his seat. "I don't live that far, you know.." He assured her when she blinked up a bit.
"I don't care.." She replied back more onto herself than to back up at him. Oh Boy, she felt like she was about to fall over his arms here, or worse throw up all over his shirt.
"I'm a big and strong girl..I can fight any bad guys here, like you here.." Rei had tried to convince him or more like herself when he did dropped off a few bucks onto the counter.
"Don't doubt about it.."
"I ain't scared of you, here.." She tried to wave him off here but he wouldn't budge her off,
"You aren't. That's for sure, but you can barely stand on your feet, gal.." He added up when she dropped off an groaning sigh here. As if she tried to prove him wrong that she wasn't such an weak girl, here if he only had known. Sailor Mars wasn't scared of anything unless it was to harm her friends, here. But if she wasn't, then why was she shaking so badly?
And especially when she felt his hands onto her? Her body..
"Ikki, you baka.."
"Let me carry you home, Rei..A pretty woman like you-"
"I ain't scared." She snapped back off to his face when he hissed up at the tone of her angry voice.,"I've faced way more bad guys than you, ya know?"
"Never said you didn't!" And yet, he didn't wanted to let her go. He was the kind of a man to let a woman walk alone and let her go on her own here. A man with such manners had been rare after many years of and after as a being SailorMoon's guardian and most trusted rival and friend.
And yet, Athena's most and ex-knight of the Pheonix hadn't hadn't quite given upon the girl, like her here.
"Ikki-"
"I ain't letting you go..anytime soon."
...
And he kept to his word.
...
Rei really hated feeling drunk, but since she had an horrible day because of her boss whom didn't quite approved her own quality of her work, that her own pictures needed more work more little more texture. So much for likening model pictures. And yet, she felt she could do so much better than photographing skinny models for a living.
And to say she wanted to have an career and exploring the world. Being an independant woman as she had always stated to herself before like a vow. And now she was taking back her own words with a disgusted moan. She felt disgusted by her own actions here. Beiing held back by an dude she had just meet from a bar.
An handsome stranger.
Yeck.
Damn. Good thing there was no ice snow around, or else she've would've had fallen down and down hard onto the thick snow as she was walking.
No, wait a second.
Take that back here, girl!
They. She and hunky dude called Ikki would've had fallen over onto the ground as they walked out of the bar, together. Holding his waist from the back as her other arm to the front to his thigh like mercy when he had his strong arm around her shoulders as they've been afraid of falling out.
Well, she was the one, afraid. Afraid to fall over to the front and would gladly throw up her contents.
While Ikki was just doing fine. Even if it meant taking the pain, with pride. As if it was nothing, here. And how, he was so warming to be with. Burning up with fire.
Unless, it was her, that felt the burn here. Oh Crap!
It looked strangely and so freaking weird here.
And, boy, she held onto his back like it was an deadly matter thingy here as her legs were shaking out. Too much quickly to say.
Good thing, she didn't wore a skirt today, or else this guy would've had too many weird ideas going on right now.
Seriously, Rei?
"You, okay?"
"Bluuurgh..Whoops!" Rei had dropped annoyed ang long sigh out when Ikki grimaced at the burpping breath that just came out of her mouth now. Whoa, how classy you can get Rei! Burpping right in front of a hot guy, like him!
"Err..Yeah, yeah.." She replied back as she almost tripped over her walking feet by the left as it nearly pushed Ikki over.
"Think you can walk? You look like you wanna throw up, wanna take a break-"
"I said I'm okay! Okay? I'm okay, alright?" Rei had gone up all crimson but frustrated here and up to his face as he gulped up hard at her own expression. Damn, she her feet had almost stepped back onto his foot as he tried skipped off, of her. This time.
"Yeah, yeah. Just watch your feet from stepping onto mine, before we get to my place, okay?" He remarked back when she made an fake but an exaggerated burpping sound that left him impressed.
"Bluurgh.."
"And on't throw up, here, and not on my shoes, got that?" Damn. She could feel his frown over his voice and annoyed tone here. Man, the guy could be bossy.
"Bluurgh..Geez.."
...
"One step, after the other. Yeah, you got it.." The strong, build and blue haired man had encouraged her once they've reached up the door of the building appartements just a few hours later. Her, with both of her arms holding up to him when they tried to make up to the stairs. Clumsy speaking here as she almost pushed him once again.
Poor Ikki. Him, being so patient with an unsteady woman like her. Not forget awfully drunk just like he was by being with her. Still holding onto her, like a real couple. Whom had partied far too much, tonight.
"Keep on, on making of me.." The woman with the messy long dark hair had groaned up under her breath when she focused on putting one foot after the other with Ikki's support here.
"No, I'm not!"
"Then how come, you were walking propredly here? Weren't you drunk? You were drinking with me, a minute ago!" She almost explosed back up to his face when he winced back at her own scent.
"I deal with alchohol a bit better than a few people here." What a typical guy here. Yeah, right. He could handle alchohol better, but he still had the scent of a guy that had drank some before walking away with her.
"So, you're saying I can't?"
"Never said, you did! And besides, it's not like you're Seiya here. Had he been in your shoes, he would've had thrown up onto my shoes fell onto his vomit-" Rei had frowned with annoyance as he had compared her to another person and mostly another male and loyal to Athena's soldier here. An annoyed friend and hero, had tried to convince Ikki to himself. But, boy, didn't she looked beautiful. Rei was one of the kind, here. Even if she was drunkily but angry here.
"Seiya? Who's Seiya?"
"A friend. An old and crazy friend of mine and that I know, lives with me here." Ikki had tried to make his speech short when she wanted to know more when they've finally reached up at the top of the stairecase here.
"How crazy, are we talking err, saying here?" Rei had tried to know more with a tight firm hold of his shirt when he made a face with irritance.
"Way crazy..Way too much pain in the ass, if that's what you're thinking now, lady.."
...
A few minutes later..
From his own sitting position onto his old brown couch, Ikki watched the girl dragging herself out from the toilet with an long and tired moaning sound as she wipped her mouth with her hand and rang her fingers through her long black and messy locks of hair, and slowly walked to an unfamiliar room away from the hallway and turn herself to-
No. Not Seiya's room.
It's a hecky mess over there! Had he moved with Shun, things wouyld've had been much way simpler. Easier. However, his little brother had other plans here and there he was stuck with a guy who couldn't decide with which women he would choose. When Ikki had known from the night he laid eyes upon and the very one who stood to his sight. With her hair in a mess and her clothes quite wrinkled and smell vomit. Oh God. Poor Rei.
"I wouldn't go over there if I were you, you know?" Ikki had added up back when he looked up to her frowning features here as he pointed towards the other direction opposite."Try my room, here. It's pretty and safetely clean, here.."
But Rei looked suspicious here just as she had heard the name room. His own room. She rose an eyebrow at his own suggestion here.
"Seriously? What makes me think that you would not be doing anything fishy?" Really? Would he? He could feel himself blushing here.
"I wouldn't. Do you think I look like a freak, here?" Ikki had ordered back without a second before she could say anything else but boy, she looked cute when she wrinkled up with her nose, here, frowning. It made his heart stutter here." Now, go in.." As he wouldn't do anything weird. Wouldn't he? Ikki wasn't so sure. And yet, he looked unsure. His own cold heart wanted to relieve once again from its ashes, when his mind had told him it was wrong. Cause, she looked so damn, sensual here. Even pissed, she looked beautiful to him..
Seriously, Ikki? How sick are you becoming now? Sickly in love?
"Go in? As in going in, for real?" Rei's voice had awakened him back onto earth when he got startled over her tone of voice here.
"Yeah. You get what I mean. I won't hurt a soul, here." But Rei didn't looked much convinced despite despite his word.
"Yeah. I do know what I'm talking about. Don't worry, I'll sleep on the couch here. No harm done." He defended himself back once again, here. Oh boy, may Athena help him, or else may the greek godness Selene help him to come out from his misery. The moon's beautiful light had left him hopeless, here.
Cause Rei looked beautiful under the moon as if she had been an warror from a past life and had come around to rescue him. The dead pheonix to only resurrect from its dead ashes and from the pain he endured as a saint.
His heart had begun to beat up. Feeling up alive once again.
Unless, it felt wrong to even to think about it, now. Unless, dead ghosts would haunt him forever. No. Esmeralda wouldn't. No. She would want him to be happy and now that all wars were over, for good.
And Rei may be the source of his awaitening happiness.
...
"Seriously?" Rei had thought she had misunderstood here as she almost tripped on, again. But Ikki looked damn sure here. Or maybe it had been her head spinning here.
"Yup.."
"Look man-" She waved up as she wanted to give him a warning but got sidetracked when he waved off.
"Ikki.." He whispered out to her likening as if his voice had gotten sexier even. Which it made her eyes blink with confusion.
"What?"
"My name is Ikki. Remember that?" He groaned with annoyance.
"Yeah, but-"
"Go and sleep in my room for the night." The blue haired man had said back as he raised his arm and pointed the room a few steps away from her. Rei had gotten startled back by the voice of his tone. Not so sure if she still was drunk or not, but had followed up with this small adding up.
"Hey.." She started back sounding a bit offended here back at his annoyed face. Drunk as she could figured out.
"What?"
"My name is Rei, in case you didn't remembered.." She had done the same thing just like had. When he waved off and leaned back to the couch.
"Don't worry. Cause, I'll remember it as if it had been my last breath.." Ok. A bit dramatic here. Which made her rose an confused eyebrow. It sounded a bit worried coming through his voice.
"Ikki.."
"Go to sleep, now.." His voice had grown a bit softer, but threatening to her ears. Rei nodded back for a second, still looking not too sure and turned around as her long hair bounced off as if she had been a diva.
Which made Ikki think that movement had been one of the sexiest movement had observed here.
...
"You are the saint of hope, Ikki. That's what the pheonix brings, don't give up on it, yet.." Esmeralda's words had hauntened him ever since that day he had returned to the island of doom before and many years ago. Ikki had frustratedly groaned over as he laid there onto the couch with his eyes closed and hands behind his head a few minutes later after Rei walked to his room. Under the dark, here.
Esmeralda. Her presense had been vanished away back there. And he couldn't have had saved her. It had been too late.
And where it had been destroyed after it had been taken by the black saints. A time, where he had walked out and away leaving Seiya, injured after he had risked his life to find the water of life for an blinded Shiryu and leaving both Hyoga and Shun alone until the next war had taken on.
Which forced him to follow up with him, with Esmeralda's words through his mind, he had accepted and joined them as well. But what kind of life was that? Living with an sword over your head for the rest of your life?
And serving an reicarnation of an powerful greek godness, when this woman couldn't even defend herself but let her own knights fight for the life of her own? Athena had been the daughter of Zeus and the strongest and wise one when Saori couldn't even do it? What to say about the sacrifices that her own knights had made that far to protect her?
Hadn't she thought about that?
About the fate that he had taken after he volunteered to switch places with Shun. Hadn't he made the choice to save his little brother, Shun wouldn't have made it alive. Or he wouldn't have had made this far as he would've had.
And he wouldn't had meet the sweet person he had known for the short time, though.
Her presence had washed off away after the island had been destroyed. Her grave disappeared along with the island.
Everybody had told him to move on, even his brother had told him. But what it felt to move on when you have no hope left? Even if you're the saint of hope that rise from its ashes when you have no will to live on, except for your godness which you sworn to serve until your last breath.
It was no use. When Ikki only wanted an normal life and away from wars and hell under. He nearly lost it, until he had meet Rei.
This mysterious and beautiful woman, whose eyes reminded of Esmeralda's violet flowers only a bit darker than he'd could've had thought. Mischievous, wild, but beautiful and sexy and also smart.
She was smart and beautiful. An independant woman.
What could he offer her more, when he wasn't so sure if his own life had been worth for, to live?
Rei had this attracting and burning energy that made him lose his mind. Revieving the pheonix from its ashes.
For an unexplained way, she had an burning cosmos within her and made him feel alive ever since years ago, when he had been lost, until he had meet Rei. His heart had been pounding ever since she had walked into the bar and where her purple dark eyes had meet his. Could he learn to love her back?
Damn. Why the heck? Are you even thinking about loving her? You don't even know her feelings, idiot! Your heart belongs to Esmeralda, you idiot! You can't let yourself forget that!
Wasn't he?
Maybe, Esmeralda had been right. He was the saint of hope.
...
Ikki had sat up onto the couch and rose up as he made his way out of the couch and walked out to go to his room, where he could see someone sleeping through the peek of the door.
Rei soundly, sleeping onto his bed with the covers covering her up to her midsection and with the way her dark locks of hair spreading onto his pillow and covering her exposed breasts. Looks, like she had taken off her clothes.
Which meant she was sleeping into his bed, all naked.
Naked.
Under the full moon's light.
Oh God.
He had gone all red here, for a second. Nothing to do wiith the burning fire cosmos, here. It all been natural feeling here. When a lonely wolf like him was staring up over an delicate and sensual woman like Rei, here. Ikki had almost lost his breath here. She looked sensual and and..

Ikki had tried to look away but couldn't. She looked far too much beautiful here and under his sheets. So innocent.

Looks that's it for this chap! Hope you'd liked it! Thanks again for the reviews! I don't know how this fanfic would turn out with Ikki and Rei, but I'll see. Think Ikki would tell Rei his own poast as a saint or that she would tell him that she had been a sailor scout before walking over to him?

See ya!
