Phase 5: After The Rain Has Fallen
After Kitsune was released from the hospital Yue invited her to stay with him and his aunt in the manor outside of town. Haruka wasn't very pleased with the decision, bu she allowed the new tenant to stay with them. Two years had passed since Kirie came into Yue's life. Having her around him had reflected his new personality. He wasn't easily annoyed by other people. His cold expression and bad temper lessened, if only by a little. As for Kirie, she began to open her heart to the boy that saver her life that fateful day.
Yet her attitude didn't change. Her constant need for alcohol and manipulation of men was still apparent. This time though she had a little bit too much and found herself in a predicament. She was running away from some guys that wanted to take her all the way. She called Yue and asked for his help. Yue, being the impulsive person that her is, takes his aunts motorcycle and races to her. He finds her and with his inborn abilities and finds her in an alley. Kirie was laid on the floor defenseless. Rage overtook Yue, he decapitated the assaulters who were after her. Bodies and blood we're stripped to the floor. As the rain began to fall.
Yue stood before her... covered in blood. The color of his eyes were moonlit, they held back the demon within. Kitsune saw first hand what her was capable of. The noise of the street we're all filtered, unhearable. The putrid air of the alley was stale, unbreathable. The sight of trash and carnage, unconceivable. Kitsune was petrified and anxious all at once; all of her senses except touch we're numbed. Her heart was beating because of fear... and of ardor. He came for me... This realization repeated. Yue stood over her for a moment; she could only wait for him to move. He fell to his knees; gently he slid his arms to comfort her back. She flinched at his contact; blood crept down from his arm, wrenching her into his chest, forcing her to him. In that instant she was comforted; all of her senses that we're dulled became magnified. She cried at her consciousness. Yue lifted Kitsune to her feet and let her pull her weight into him. He walked her to the dripping motorcycle. Yue sat on the bike first and placed Kitsune in front of him; so that she was able to let her legs lay on the right side and let Yue cradle her with his arms and body. The rain began to pour. Seeping into the blood soaked attire, it ran down, mixed with the hatred filled emotions; it dropped to the wet ground. Yue was floating above the streets; the taillights looked as if it was dancing like fire. The moon hung over them as if chasing the red light. All the sounds were muted to Kitsune's sense of hearing. Rain showered their blazing bodies. Yet they didn't feel it; the droplets swept past them; vaporized by the heat of their passion. The voice in her head was pounding within her head. She didn't want it to fade; she wanted the emotions alive, burning within her.
They arrived at the manor. Yue got off the bike first. He still let Kitsune shift her weight into him. The rain was still pouring over them. Yue allowed her to wrap her arms around his neck while he carried her on his back. Moving with inhuman speed and strength, Yue ran into the door of the manor. No lights shone out the windows. Gradually they moved up the stairs. Each step was in sync with each other's heartbeat. Darkness shadowed their movement.
What is this...? The endless beating in my heart...? My chest... hurts with every beat. The voice in my head won't stop echoing... Take him... You love him don't you? Take him... Kitsune clenched her eyes shut to away the voice that was seducing her to do the indescribable. I can't do that... I won't do that... not to him. He's been devoted to me, to my happiness... I won't betray him... he trusted me... I will not take advantage of him. Yue carried walked down the hallway of silhouettes, the darkness purging Kitsune to insanity. Yet does he care for me more than an elder sister...? Does he think about me in that way...? No, no he wouldn't... he's the epitome of innocence. But... he's also human isn't he...? He's fond at my touch... he reacts when I embrace him... and he blushes at my kiss... Can it be that he wants me...? Does it matter if he doesn't...?
Yue reached their room and slowly he opened the door while supporting Kitsune's weight. He walked gently to her bed. Isn't it up to me who I choose to love? It isn't up to anyone else to tell me otherwise... Everyone can think about whatever they want about that. As for me... I love Yue and it's up to me on what I do with it! I won't lie about my own feelings! I will never betray myself! Kitsune was now fully awake. The feeling that was welling up within her wanted to flow outward, they wanted to reach something... someone. Yue gently let her down. Kitsune couldn't take in any longer; she pulled Yue on top of her.
The moon was shadowed by the lingering clouds as if to blind her. The hours of darkness were in full bloom. The blurred sky pulled further away... even the stars bowed to the twilight. All radiance had vanished... it was perfect darkness; requiem of silence. The pieces of her wish all came together. Her voice of desire was only through his. Kitsune looked into his eyes that lead to the depths of his soul. Yue's arms held him from crashing his weight into her. Nothing could be heard or said. Kitsune moved her fingers to his face... they slowly were drawn to his lips. Yue faltered from her gaze, fighting back his body's carnal desire. She felt his hesitation. Kitsune gently caressed his face, drawing him to her gaze once more. Their bodies were very close... they heard each other's exasperated breathing. Kitsune held his face in her hands; she moved closer to him... their lips met... It was long, for it did not break easily. An intimate moment that filled their hearts with longing. What came next was rapture... and will never happen again... screaming through living... bearing it all... the gravest sin.
