A Simple Solider
Chapter Six:
Kissing
My heart just skipped a beat. I know it did when Edward kissed me. But, something told me he was inexperienced with kissing someone. I kissed Inu-Yasha before and learned from there. Hell, kissing was something we both can learn. I smiled against his lips and leaned against him. Wondering if he'll continue kissing me a way no one has ever kissed me before... I wonder if he kissed Winry before...
Now I feel jealous but that wont ruin my mood. She's just a friend towards Edward, nothing more and certainly nothing less...
I felt cold metal brush against my cheek and strange enough, that metal hand held my cheek with hesitation. I had my eyes closed for a short period of time while he kissed me. I looked at him with utmost care and love I could give a person.
People say that the eyes were a portal to the soul. Edward had a strong soul from what I've seen in my lifetime. My good friend Sango, she had an equally strong spirit as well as Inu-Yasha.
Just as I think about my family... Friends that I have made during the years. Tears started to come up but I had to be strong. I felt weak on the inside though. It was a strange feeling that was all too familiar.
"Why are you crying?" Edward whispered as he brought his other hand to whip the tears away. "It's okay Kagome, you don't have to answer if you don't want to."
I shook my head, not thinking straight. "I'm crying because I thought about my past. It's not a pleasant one and I'm certain you don't want to hear it."
He looked shocked at me, as if being hit with a ton of bricks. "What happened?"
I gave a cruel laugh, nothing like me at all as I said, "Love happened. I was betrayed by the one I loved." I wasn't going to tell him the whole story yet. There was some issues still there but I can handle it. I think I can handle it...
Instead of some cruel joke being broken the silence between us, he kissed my cheek so tenderly to the touch. It just shows how much he likes me. "I wont hurt you, I can guarantee it." He said as I felt as if I was crashing down as a fountain of tears come. Edward could only kiss me again as he whipped the tears away from my face.
I quickly wrapped my arms around his neck and cried into the nape of his neck. My eyes closed, I was greeted by darkness as the warmth of Edward surrounded me. I'll thank him later for taking up the duty of taking care of this weak side of myself.

I looked shocked at the message I received from Roy. He was going to Lior... Or where there was a Lior. That's where mostly everyone was going nowadays and I was commissioned there, for now. There was huge announcement around the office building, it was King Bradley and he seemed emotionless about it.
Edward was beside me looking at me curiously. "What's wrong?"
"I've been commissioned to go to Lior." He didn't look surprised as there was an announcement about it. He only shrugged as he gently taken his hand into mine, intwining fingers (with his left hand of course). This definitely shows how much he cares.
It was morning and the meeting was starting up again. I was thinking about what the elderly man said, I forgotten his name, the general guy. We really need allies instead of enemies. We already had war with one country, we don't need more mistakes for the country. We are making history as we go on to live and die.
The conference room was nearby, my hand loosened from his grip as we walked and turned the corner. The generals that were here, three of them, were talking among themselves as we waited near by. They were talking about the Xing woman and how polite they were. They were like chinese people but more graceful like japanese people. I've seen them before, they were traveling by and danced to their musical flute they had. It was magical.
I wonder if I'll ever be graceful... I thought as I talked to Edward softly. His aura was flashing weirdly and as I talk to him... A possessive look came over his face, I went wide eyed at that. "Edward?"
Gently, he pulled me towards him and we kissed. It wasn't rough but it wasn't soft neither. We heard a few gasps and a snort with a 'I knew it'. He pressed on and his tongue asked for access. I gave in and kissed him back. Foot steps were heard as gossip went on, but I didn't care nor did I give a damn about who was gossiping about me.
"Kagome Higurashi! On your feet soldier!" someone yelled, a general I think it was. One of the generals were talking very loudly. With regret, I pulled away from Edward and pulled on a brave face on. I don't know why we kissed but it was everything I wanted.
A group of people surrounded us, but it wasn't a lot of people. Just people that needed to be there. The meeting was about to start...

It's been an hour since the little kiss from Edward as I lay bored in the chair in the conference room. We were discussing some issues in the military that weren't tolerated at all. I would rather talk about going home. I miss mama, grandpa, and Souta. I want to speak japanese for once...
If only Roy went to the damn meeting in the first place, I wouldn't be so bored to tears. King Bradley wasn't here and I miss home, where am I supposed to go now? For now, I didn't have a home. All I could do is travel and see what adventures come at hand.
Someone cleared their throat as he received a message from a young looking boy, maybe fourteen or so, and said, "King Bradley had to go back home because of his sick son. We'll end the meeting now."
Everyone stood up and stretched, and went on their way as I stood up. One of the generals that was talking to me, smiled and said, "I'll see you later Kagome."
I nodded and brushed away some sweat away from my forehead. Was it me or was it getting hot in here? I thought as I walked out and felt a breeze. I better get back to my room...

I noticed, when I was walking down the hallway, that my door was opened ajar. I blinked several times as darkness hit my eyes. I saw Edward looking into my bag, cell phone in hand with a pocky stick in his mouth. My mouth dropped and went wide eyed at him as I flicked on the lights.
"What the hell are you doing in my bag?!" I yelled on top of my lungs. What more can happen in one single day?

I hope you enjoyed it. I've been listening to a lot of music to get my inspiration up and running. The next chapter will be up soon, so keep a look out on it.
