Chapter 9: A Dance with Romance

Cloud was sitting on the steps in his Black Jeans and his Brown Kanamono. Mura, Aerial, Aiko, and Maddy were all wearing silvery velvet dresses and makeup. Ryan had on tuxedo pants and a white Kanamono shirt on. Kane had his Brown Kanamono shirt underneath his Green Hori shirt, and was wearing Blue jeans. Aerial sighed as the group left to the car "Where is Sarah?" Cloud shrugged but then saw Aerial slowly point up the stairs. Cloud got up and turned and his eyes nearly flew out of his head. He saw Sarah wearing an extraordinary pretty black dress that was like a spaghetti strap to her shoulders and hugged all her curves, tightening around her waist and flowing out into a skirt onto her legs. Cloud shuddered as she came down the stairs. His inner demon nearly exploded all over her as he muttered "Beautiful…" As she reached the bottom step he held his arm out and she took it smiling. She was wearing red lipstick and her face was partially powdered, her hair still the same as it flowed out behind her. Aerial giggled and gave Sarah the thumbs up sign when Cloud wasn't looking. They all piled into Codi's car as they roared off into the night. Sarah had to sit on Cloud's lap cause of the room issues which suited him just fine. As they neared the gymnasium where the dance was being held Codi looked back behind the seat "Ok guys, this is our high school gym, I know you don't know what that is, but they gave us only one rule, no sex!!!" Kane snapped his fingers playfully and said "Oh damn " Maddi giggled as Ryan piped up "does that include kissing?" Codi smiled pervertedly "Depends on where it is, for example" Aerial put a hand over his mouth "Ok shut up lets just go" They all scrambled out and proceeded inwards, handing the door people their tickets. Codi turned as the music blared in the gym and people crowded the large space. Yelling he said "OK, RULE #2 IS THAT WE AREN'T SUPPOSED TO SEE ANYONE EXCEPT WHOM WE ARE DANCING WITH!!!!" as soon as he was finished the group had split, leaving Sarah and Cloud alone. A slow dance song started playing as Cloud looked at Sarah and said "Codi said something about a slow dance, I think he meant like the KaiHanyou dance we had back home." Sarah nodded and she put her arms over his head and wrapped them behind his neck. Cloud put his arms around her waist and pulled her close as they danced slowly on the gym floor. Cloud laid his head sideways on the top of Sarah's as they continued moving slowly across. Cloud sighed in thought and argued with himself while pressing against Sarah "Sigh, I love her, why can't I just say it" "Maybe you don't have to say, maybe you can SHOW" "Yea but that wouldn't seem right" "What if she's wanting it, its mating season for her too you know, and like dad said, I have his consent" "Whoa there, that might be a little too far" Sarah sighed and snuggled her head under his chin as Cloud placed one hand on her back and stroked it back and forth, leaving one hand on her waist. Another slow dance song began playing but this one was pure romance. Cloud smiled "what a way to brighten a moment" he thought. He saw Kane and Maddi dancing, Aerial and Codi taking turns with Aiko, and then he saw Mura and nearly boiled in anger. Ryan and Mura's heads were together "WHAT THE HELL OH THAT LITTLE ASS HE BETTER GET OF MY SISTER!!" he roared in thought but caught himself quickly "Whoa, just relax, got to let your sister go sometime, I guess its just the big brother duty kicking in" He smiled and watched his sister in love be happy. He then frowned and wished he could feel the same thing. As they walked under an air conditioning vent Sarah pushed herself onto Cloud more, feeling the chilly blast from overhead. Cloud had finally decided on his actions. Sighing he began leading Sarah slowly near the gymnasium door, but stopped 30 feet away from it. He began stroking Sarah's hair and muttering to himself. Meanwhile Sarah sighed "He is going to, I can already feel it, I don't think I'll even slap him, I love him too much" And right on cue Cloud looked down at Sarah as she looked up. His mixed green and golden amber eyes softly looking into hers as she gave a small smile. That nearly drove him over the edge "Damn, she looks so cute when she smiles like that." Sarah continued showing her soft, small smile, knowing he knew what she wanted. Slowly but surely, Cloud moved his head down and they both closed their eyes. As their heads and lips moved together their love multiplied by 100 as they kissed under the colorful gym lights. Sarah gave a small moan as she pulled his head further into hers. Cloud rubbed her bottom lip with his tongue, wanting permission. Sarah gave it to him and they deepened it fully. Sarah gave another small moan and moved her tongue to massage Cloud's right gums. Cloud brushed the room of her mouth while still clinging to her as they stood there for what seemed like hours, but was really only 15 minutes (AU: and god damn is that long lol!!!) When he finally broke apart, Sarah's cheeks were flushed and she was blushing slightly. Cloud gave a small laugh "You don't want to stop do you?" Sarah smiled and shook her head. Cloud whispered to her as he nipped the bottom of her right ear with his mouth "I don't either" Cloud began kissing and sucking on her neck as Sarah gave him more room to do so, putting her head on his shoulder and giving him more access. Cloud massaged her bare neck with his lips and tongue softly as he continued moving down to the base and back up to her ear again. As Cloud retreated back they deeply kissed again and the intercom rang out, signaling the end of the dance. As people flooded out of the doors Cloud walked beside Sarah as Codi and everyone walked in front of them. As they waited for everyone to pile in Cloud felt his hand being squeezed. He looked down to see Sarah holding his hand and rubbing his ring finger with hers. They both smiled as Cloud rubbed his nose against hers as they both got into the car. Codi sighed as they drove into the night "Great party, definitely should go again" As Cloud heard this he was kissing Sarah on the spot right below her ear as she gave out another small moan. Cloud smiled and whispered to her "Yea, definitely"

Taylor's Tree Stand.

Taylor sighed as Kacie lay on top of him, kissing his neck sweetly and stroking his hair with her hand. Taylor sighed "When is Wolf getting back from looking for the bridge?" Kacie kissed him tenderly and said "I don't know, maybe in the next second, or in a million years" Taylor smiled and said "works for me" that thought was shattered as Kiara kicked the tree and yelled "Wolf say's the bridge is gone!!! But he says he found the bridge posts." Taylor and Kacie rolled their eyes and sat up "You sure?! Well, at least we know where it is so we can visit next week, I hope Cloud isn't being to rough on everybody" Kacie giggled and said "Knowing him, I'm sure he's just having fun"

Taylor looked out on the horizon behind them and saw an eerie green Aura hanging over the land "hopefully more fun then we are having"

Kane and Maddy went upstairs to their own bedroom while Ryan and Mura did the same. Aiko said good night while Codi and Aerial flopped on separate couches. Codi smiled as he saw Cloud and Sarah staring at each other, Cloud stroking her hair and hugging her. Aerial giggled and said "These guys should get a room" Sarah smiled and pushed Cloud backwards against a wall while kissing him deeply. Codi's jaw dropped and said "definitely" He picked up a camera and began taping as Aerial slapped his arm "Pervert, that's your nephew!!!!" Codi giggled like a little girl and said "I know" pressing the Record button as Sarah and Cloud slid down the wall to the floor. After 5 min. Codi yawned while Aerial stretched like a cat. They said good night to the love birds on the couch that were snuggled into each other, watching the moving people box flash lights and recite stuff. Cloud flipped over to a Music Video channel and shook his head slightly to Linkin Parks' Paper Cut ©. Sarah asked him "Sweetie (AU: awwww…w/e lol) what is that playing?" Cloud bobbed his head to the beat "I don't know, but it makes me feel good" Sarah yawned and snuggled in too Cloud. Cloud poked her "You can't be getting sleepy now, its only 10:00" Sarah looked up at him and smiled sweetly "Yea, carry me up please" Cloud got up and bowed, saying playfully "My pleasure madam" Sarah giggled sweetly as he picked her up bridal style and carried her up the stairs. As they got to the second floor Codi came out of the bathroom and saw them, saying "If there's loud banging on the walls for two hours I'm coming with a shotgun" Cloud smiled as he entered his room with Sarah and shut the door behind him. He walked over and placed Sarah on the bed. She giggled as he lay down beside her and smiled, stroking her cheek with his hand and lightly pecking Sarah's lips with his own. She smiled and pushed Cloud back, giving her the chance to get on top of him, sit on his legs and bend over to put her face directly over his, her necklace hanging down to his lips. Cloud teased her by taking the necklace into his teeth and yanking on it softly. Sarah giggled and moved her head down to meet Cloud's. They kissed deeply as far as they could go as they massaged one another's mouths and kissed passionately, not to mention sweetly. Sarah took her mouth of his, panting softly and began kissing Cloud's neck. Cloud's inner demon gave a loud roar inside his body as he hugged Sarah too him. He scratched her back with his claws softly and moved to her upper back but froze when he heard a loud snap "Oh no, I hope I didn't….yea I think I did…shit" Sarah gave a small squeak but giggled "Jeez Cloud I didn't know you took such forward approaches." Cloud smiled and continued scratching her back with one hand while the other found her dress lacings. Sarah flexed her index claw and brought it up along the lacings of Cloud's shirt, slicing them in half. Cloud sighed and said "I guess I can retie those later" Sarah laughed as she slid his shirt off and kissed his lower neck. Cloud undid her dress lacings and said "At least I'm considerate of others clothing" Sarah smiled and hugged his clean shaven chest as she moved to kiss his lips again. She took his bottom lip in between both of hers and tugged at it softly, rubbing her tongue against it. Cloud's left hand reached out for the blanket covers and covered them as Sarah's dress fell off of her. Covered and concealed by the blanket they continued on till 2:00 in the morning (AU: trust me, you don't want the long version XP)

At 2:10 A.M. Cloud sighed and held a bare sleeping Sarah close to him. She pressed her head up underneath his chin as he stroked her smooth, soft back. Cloud looked down to the floor where their clothes were scattered everywhere. He sighed as Sarah hugged him tightly, exhausted and tired from the day………and night (AU: wink ). Before Cloud drifted off into sleep, he thought about his dad and smiled "Well, I had his consent...but what about Wolf's?" He scoffed and shook his head playfully. And for the rest of the night Sarah and Cloud kept the covers over them and wrapped tightly around them, making them cuddled against one another's form, sleeping soundly and waiting for tomorrow.
