A beam of light shone across Komugi's sleeping face. Sensing this warmth slowly brought her out of her peaceful rest as she sat up from the huge, comfortable matress she slept in. As she stretched her muscles she realized that Neferpitou was not with her. She began to wonder where he went and wondered if what happened was just a dream. She saw her set of clothes neatly folded on a chair next to her and realized that she was still undressed, making her blush. A small smile came to her as what happened between her and Pitou most likely happened.

Komugi got out of bed and grabbed her clothes, quickly rushing to the bathroom. After a quick bath she was once again dressed in her usual attire. One last thing before she was ready was to put her hair up back in two buns but a thought occured to her. Neferpitou might have liked her more with her hair down, he did caress it plenty of times during their time together. She left the two hairbands on the bathroom sink and walked out, not knowing how brilliantly her hair glowed in the morning light. As she was about to step out of her room a familiar presence was already there, one that filled her heart with joy. She couldn't contain herself and leaped into Neferpitou's arms, the cat guard surpised but joyful himself as he quickly embraced her in a chaste hug, both filling the room with laughter. She tilted her head upwards to face Pitou and gave him a quick peck on his pale lips.

"Pitou! I was wondering where you were at! Seems like it's morning already, how long was I asleep?"

The question was a slip of the tongue. Komugi right now just cared that he was back and was glad that what happened wasn't just a dream from the way things are playing out. She nuzzled her face on the cat guard's chest as Neferpitou held her tight and stroked her long, white hair.

"You were asleep for the whole night, Komugi! After you did I cleaned you up a bit and laid you to the bedroom and also took the time to wash our clothes. I hope you're feeling well?"

Komugi let out a small giggle from that. He was still so kind, asking her how she was and taking care of her in such a vulnerable state. She looked up at Pitou and kissed him again to show her how he felt. The kiss was longer than the previous one and Pitou returned it, holding the girls back and pressing their bodies together as the kiss became a bit more passionate. Eventually both needed air and broke apart, taking in much needed breaths.

"I'm going to guess that was a yes, huh?"

Komugi gently laid her head back on the guard's chest and smiled, basking in his warmth.

"Pitou, you pretty much made my day and it's barely starting. I'm way beyond well!"

As both held each other for some time a new but more foreboding thought entered Neferpitou's mind. What of the King and the others? Surely they wouldn't stand for this, at least not the King. Of course he wasn't so certain on that, but the idea of being together with Komugi might not sit well with him. Pitou also thought he could just run away with Komugi, no he couldn't! He couldn't go against the King, he would rather die! But his love for Komugi was just as strong, he would lay down his life for her as well, but she couldn't take priority over the King! Could she? Pitou's embrace became more stiff and Komugi picked up that there was something wrong. Only one possibility could make Pitou's body language act so strangely. She spoke in a low voice.

"It's the others, isn't it? They wouldn't want us to be together."

Pitou loosened his hold on her, gently cupping her left cheek and tilting her head upwards so he could face her. He let out a small sigh but gave a small smile.

"That I'm not so sure. There's a chance the King would allow this and there's a chance he might not. He could also not care all together, but again I'm afraid I don't know."

Komugi's face was showing signs of sorrow and Pitou did not want to worry her. He gave a small but loving kiss on her lips which softened her sad features up a bit, however her sadness was still there. She began to speak, her voice carrying a hint of melancholy.

"Well, we could always hide it, our relationship I mean. I know running away probably isn't safe for either of us. Besides, as of now neither of us are threatened and luckily they're still not here, at least I think they're not, right?"

Neferpitou responded with a yes, which made the girl feel elevated a bit.

"Well that's good. I'm sure we can make this work out, besides it'd be somewhat romantic having a secret like this, wouldn't it?"

That idea made both of them laugh, which lightened the mood up a bit for the time being. But there was still something that bothers the guard and he let the girl know.

"Even though we can hide it, we'd have to wait for the others to not be around. Who knows when that would be?"

Komugi let out a small sight. That's a possibility that neither obviously liked, but that's going to have to be something to deal with for now.

"Well, who knows Pitou? The King has been gone for quite some time, maybe he liked the outside world enough that he'll go out to explore it some more. Also, maybe we can tell them about us when the time comes?"

The guard stroked her hair a few times and brought her back in for another kiss. Despite their newfound worries all of it disappeared as the two lovers let themselves melt into their embrace. As they disconnected Pitou let out a smirk as he held a strand of her long hair.

"So, are you going to keep your hair like this? I like it a lot."

Komugi beamed a smile at him and let out a small celebration in her head for guessing that's what he wanted correctly.

"Of course I will, if that's what you want. Hopefully we don't have to keep my new hair style a secret either!"

They both shared a laught at her light joke, Komugi giving one more hard hug to her guard and spoke with a voice filled with fondness.

"I love you, Neferpitou. I don't know if this is what people call destiny, but somehow I know that you were meant for me."

The guard was moved by what she said and tried to hold back his tears but some managed to slip. He didn't understand what the wetness on his face was but knew her words was the cause for them.

"I love you as well, Komugi. Whether this is because of destiny or just luck, I know I was meant for you. I will always stand by your side."

They held each other fondly, their love strong and ready to stand against whatever the future holds for them.

For my readers, this is the end for this story. However, I do plan to make more stories revolving KomugixNeferpitou. I intend to make a sequel or two for this one and a few side stories that don't have to be connected to this one. I also plan to not make them lemons in case some expected that, at least not the sequels. I might make spin-off lemons.

Another thing, I plan on making another account in the near future. I intend to keep both but use this account for writing more Lemons in the future and romance stories. My future PitouxKomugi stories will be featured on both accounts. My other account I wish to focus on other types of writing for anyone interested. Anyhow, thanks for reading and please leave a review. Constructive criticism is happily allowed!
