Disclaimer: I own Kenji. Of course I do. mmmahhhhh…… a glare from the dark. OKAY! OKAY!! I don't own him:'( Life is so cruel sometimes!
Surprises!
'I wonder what he's doing right now. I bet that he is awake and maybe taking a shower. Oh I can't believe that I just thought that! Bad me! Bad! I can't believe this. I'm day dreaming about a guy I've only known for a day. Wait not even a day yet. Wow! Cupid sure as hell shot me in the butt good this time.' I thought while I smiled. I was sitting in my room attempting, but not succeeding, to read a book.
"Melissa! What have you been doing this morning?" My mom asked as she walked in the door.
"Nothing as usual mom." I replied. "What about you?"
"Oh I went with your dad over to the show and looked at everything like every year. There were some pretty interesting things there. I think your dad is getting me into these things." She said snickering. "Oh well. The only thing that's bad about them is that they cost a lot of money and they take up a lot of space."
"Yeah…" I said half listening to her talk. 'I really don't care what she says about that. It doesn't interest me like it does her and dad.' "Well I'm going to go for a walk around the motel ok? I will check in every now and again."
"As long as your not talking with that weirdo then I don't care." She replied rudely.
"I won't be." I replied through gritted teeth. 'How dare she say that about Kenji! She knows nothing about him. Well I guess I really don't either, but I know that he wouldn't try to hurt me.' I stalked out of the room and headed toward the lobby. 'I really wonder what he meant last night when he said that he was committing sins and that he couldn't tell me. I know we just met and all, but I truly care about him. I want to help and support him in any way that I can. Maybe I should ask him about it today. I know that it would be rude when he said that he didn't want me to know. However, he didn't want me to know because he was afraid that I would get hurt. I think I will ask him. I just can't help, but wonder what could be so bad that he would feel unworthy of my love and feel as if I would be in danger if I knew. I just don't know what to think.' By this time I had made my way back to the 2nd floor and getting ready to go up to the 3rd floor. That's when I started to wonder 'Where is his room at? It has to be somewhere in this motel. Maybe if I wander through the halls enough I will see him leave his room and we could meet early. That would be fun. I think I will do that. Well here I go. Maybe this is my lucky floor.' When I got there I looked around and saw an inactive floor. No one was about. I sighed sadly and turned to go back down the stairs when I heard the ding of the elevator. I whirled back around and peeked out from behind the door frame and saw a red-head come out of the elevator. 'WOW! I've got some good luck!" I started to step out of the doorway to make my presence known when I saw some other man with him. I stopped myself before I really made any movement and stared in question. The man that he was with appeared to be much older than he was. 'This is really odd. Maybe I should ask Kenji why he is here? I mean he almost seems business like right now. Should I say something to him?….. No I don't think I better. They look pretty serious. Maybe I can follow them to his room and listen outside the door? Well, I'm going to try.' So I counted how many doors that they went down and as soon as the door was shut I crept into the hallway and counted my way to the door. It said 310. 'What a concept. We are in the same room, but on a different floor.' I quietly leaned my head up against the door and listened intently.
"So you have introduced yourself to the targets weakness. Did it go as planned?" a deep voice, that obviously belonged to the other man, asked.
"Yes Sir. It did. In fact it went better than planned. The weakness' reaction was better than could have been expected. It is mesmerized. It doesn't suspect anything yet and it won't."
"Great! However your master has mentioned to me that you seem to be distracted by the weakness. Is this true?"
"No. It's just…..wait…" I heard Kenji cut himself off and I heard footsteps coming toward the door. I freaked out and turned to go back toward the stairs. I started to run when my wrist was caught in a firm hand and it yanked me back so that I was facing the person who grabbed me. I could feel my heart pounding in my chest. I opened my eyes and realized that it was Kenji. 'Is he mad? Are our little meeting done for?' I looked right into his eyes, but once I saw that his eyes held a look of death in them I looked away scared and started to cry. I then heard him say in an icy voice, "What were you doing listening to us talking?"
"I heard voices and I was bored and curious. I'm so sorry please forgive me!!! I had no right!" I cried miserably. Then he roughly lifted my chin up so that I would look him in the eyes. They softened for a moment and it seemed as if he was pleading with me to play along with him or maybe he was saying that he was sorry. I wasn't sure. Whatever it was he did not voice it in words and his eyes changed back to the old evil glare of death. I started to shake. He then let me go and said in a stern voice, "Get out of here and don't tell anyone of what you have heard."
"Yes…ssss Sir. I'm ssssooo sssorry." I stammered. I turned and ran down the first flight of stairs scared out of my mind. I stopped when I got to the second floor and I collapsed and just sat there balling and shaking.

'What was she thinking! I can't believe she would try to listen to our conversation. She's lucky Kodji didn't tell me to kill her. I would have had no choice, but to listen to him.' I let out a deep sigh. 'I guess we're going to have to have a serious conversation when I find her.' "Kenji! Is the wench gone?" I heard Kodji ask in a monotone voice.
"Yes sir. She is and don't worry, I'm pretty sure that she didn't hear anything." I replied smoothly.
"You had better track her down and make sure that she didn't, because if she did you know what you have to do."
"I know and if she heard anything I will do just that."
"Good. Let's go back to your room so that I can explain to you the changes in your mission."
"Changes? What are you talking about?"
"You will see"
………………………………...
About a 20 minutes later I heard footsteps and I stopped crying and looked up to see Kenji standing there. I froze. I didn't know how to react. My face adopted a look of fear. I finally looked into his eyes to see that he had a hurt look in them. He knelt down in front of me and reached a hand out to touch my face, but I pulled it away. "Why?" I whispered in a hoarse voice.
"I had to. My boss was there. Look It's really hard to explain, but if I hadn't of done that, you would probably be dead. I was trying to protect you…..I never meant to scare or hurt you."
"I don't understand." I answered as my tears started to spill from my eyes again. Then Kenji gently grabbed my elbows and made me stand up. He lifted my chin up so that I was looking at him once again. "Look…I'm so sorry Melissa. I was hoping I wouldn't have to do that. I never wanted to hurt you. If you will accept my apology, I will gladly try to cheer you up and make this better."
"Okay, but answer one question for me?"
"Okay. That seems only fair. Shoot."
"Why are you here in New Port?"
"Ummm. I'm really not supposed to…" He started, but I cut in and said, "NO! Tell me. I tired of you side stepping my questions. It makes you seem so suspicious."
"Okay. I'm here on a mission. I'm supposed to be picking up an important package for my boss. It just so happens that it is taking me longer than usual to do it because the people are being very difficult. May we please go somewhere more private now?"
"Fine, but don't think of doing anything funny." I replied.
"Thank you. Once again I am sorry for everything." he said as he grabbed my hand and led me back upstairs. "Wait? Isn't your boss up there?" I asked scared once again.
"No. He isn't staying here. He is staying at the Marriott down the street. I promise you will be safe once we get to my room. Ok?"
"Ok." I answered quietly. He led me all the way into his room. Then he turned around and looked out the door to make sure no one was watching and shut and bolt locked the door. My heart started to pound again. "Why did you lock it?" I asked trembling.
"Please Melissa. I'm not going to hurt you ok. I just locked it because some of my colleagues have a key to my room and I don't want them getting in. If they saw you here it would spell disaster for me and you. Like I said last night I'm trying to protect you ok. So the less information you know the better for you and me ok? Do you understand what I'm trying to say?"
"I think so. I just wish you could tell me. It's so hard not knowing what's going on, but I will live. By the way…." I started and Kenji looked up at me and I continued, "I forgive you." He didn't say anything he just came up to me and took me into a big embrace. I circled my arms around his waist and held him close. Once again I felt his tears on my shoulder and without pulling away I asked, "What's wrong?"
"I'm just so glad that you forgive me. That I am." He replied through his tears. He nor I said anything more. We just stood there holding each other for awhile. Kenji pulled away first, but only enough to look into my eyes. Then I heard something inside me say, 'Kiss him. You know you want to and you know that is what he is asking for.' I listened to the voice and leaned in and gently kissed him on the lips. I felt one of his hands move to my cheek and felt him kissing me back. His hand then moved to the back of my head to pull me into a deeper more passionate kiss.
Mini Lime
I realized that we were slowly moving toward his bed. I also realized that he had the suite room. I was surprised but was more surprised when he gently laid me down on his bed and laid on top of me. However he made sure to not put all of his weight on my smaller fragile frame. He propped himself up with his elbows on each side of my head. I felt a blush growing on cheeks. I couldn't believe we were on HIS bed in HIS room. ALONE. Yet I was happy about it at the same time. I loved it when we were this close. He was smiling at me with a look of love and longing in his eyes. He lifted his right hand and started to stroke my cheek lovingly. My eyes fluttered shut at the feeling while I let my head lean into his hand. Then I reached both my hands up. One went to his cheek and the other to his well built chest. The hand that was on his cheek started to brush back his bangs from his face while the hand on his chest sat there while the thumb made soothing circles on it. He let out a relaxed sigh and leaned back down to kiss me again. I wrapped one arm around his back and the other around his neck to make it a more passionate kiss. I felt him lift his hips up a bit and one of his hands going down to the hem of my white tank top and start to pull up on it. He stopped kissing me and looked into my eyes and asked in a husky voice, "May I?" 'It's so cute that he stopped to ask. What a Romeo.' I breathlessly answered, "Yes. You may."
So he continued to lift my tank top up and over my breasts. I let out a small quiet moan when he gently, but slowly ran his ruff calloused hand up my side and barely touched my nipple on his way down my breast. I started to shiver. I had never been touched like this before, but if felt amazing. He bent his head down and started placing soft, tender kisses along my breasts, down to my naval and back up. I couldn't help but let out a louder moan of pleasure. I could feel him smile against my skin as he worked his way up to where my top was and he lifted me up enough so that he could take it the rest of the way off. While he did this his mouth never left my skin. He continued his journey upward and worked his way up my neck and behind my ear and then he came around and placed a passionate kiss on my lips. (End of Lime) That's when there was a loud knock on the door. We both jumped up and I grabbed my tank top and started to try to pull it on. He grabbed my hand and led me to the bathroom and pointed his finger and I instantly went in without questioning him. He then brought the same finger to his lips to tell me to be quiet. I nodded to show him that I knew what he meant. Then the door shut in my face and the room was dark. I heard him walk to the door calmly saying, "Coming." I heard him open the door and then heard Kenji gasp.
"What happened to you Hatuki?" Kenji asked startled.
"I….. tri…ed to…. take out….. the target,…… but I….. failed." He said through gasps of breath. "I'm sorry…… Kenji. I….. should have…….let you take…..care….of…it…." He said. Then I heard a loud THUMP. 'OH MY GOD!!!!' "Kenji!?!?!" I cried through the door. I heard him coming back toward the bathroom. When he opened the door I flew into his arms and asked, "What happened?"
He wrapped his arms around me and calmly said, " It's ok. I think he just passed out is all. I need to treat his wounds though. You probably should go back to your room now."
"He's just injured? Then let me help!" I begged Kenji.
"No. I will call one of my other colleagues and have them help me, but thank you for offering."
"Please. I can help. I want to help." I begged again. "Please let me into your life a little bit more."
"I'm sorry Melissa. Please just go back to your room and I will come to you later." He bargained with me.
"Okay, but Kenji? What was he talking about?" I asked curiously.
"Don't worry about it ok. How about we met at the diner in the lobby at 8:00 P.M.?" He asked while holding the sides of my arms.
"Okay. Yeah that would be fine." I calmly answered him. He leaned in to give me a goodbye kiss then let go of me completely. I walked out of his room filled with so many questions.
