Towel Dry

Chapter 5

It is now nearing sunset as they finally come across a pictograph on a large stone and a lone calm pond underneath a weeping willow tree.

The pictograph shows a pair of stick people figurines leaning towards each other in what looked like a kiss shared between them.

"Are they kissing?" Hikaru asks, sidelong glancing at the feline at her side. Suddenly, the thought of kissing left an uncomfortable feeling within Hikaru at the silent thought of kissing a feline on the lips.

As she lightly touches the nearly dried fur, Simba changes back into Kyoya in human form from behind the bush. Hikaru is beet red with her left hand is on his head.

Soon after Kyoya has returned back to his human form, Hikaru quickly hands him the change of clothes that were in his Nike duffle bag that she brought along. Hikaru is still beet red after seeing Kyoya's upper abdomen as he changes behind the bush.

"All right, Hikaru. You can turn around." He tells her as he steps out from behind the bushes fully clothed. The bush leaves rustle.

"Okay, Master Tategami." Hikaru turns around to avoid looking at him. Her eyelids blink a few times, uncomfortably. "I'm ready for this."

"I'm not undressed, anymore. I do have clothes on, now. You can look up at me."

Hikaru closes her eyes once more feeling very unsure and uneasy with his reassurance. "Yes, Master Tategami." She replies opening her eyes to slightly gaze at him and glance away from him in embarrassment.

"Hikaru,"

Hikaru doesn't answer.

"Hikaru,"

Hikaru still doesn't answer. She lightly clasps her hands together; squeezing them. "I'm sorry, Master Tategami."

Kyoya walks up to her with swift loud footsteps. He rests his hands on her shoulder blades and tilts her to face him. "If what my brother says is true about this discovery. We must abide by the clues."

"I understand, Master Tategami." Hikaru said in reply as she turns her head to face him. She could feel the warmth of his Spearmint breath touch her lips as he is leaning down to join his lips with hers.

The two kiss as the pictograph suggests; some massive fireflies begin to swarm and swirl around their bodies. Their eyes are closed as they are kissing underneath the weeping willow tree's showery vines. Kyoya releases a soft groan as he pulls Hikaru closer against his abdomen. Hikaru releases a soft moan as she slightly tilts her head to intensify the kiss shared with Kyoya. She presses her lips back up against his lips with hers.

Soon after the two breaks away from their heartfelt kiss, Kyoya turns his back to Hikaru and jumps into the lone pond near by the weeping willow tree with his clothes and all.

Kyoya soon resurfaces still as a guy and is smiling overjoyed that his younger brother was not telling tall tales. "The spell has been uplifted." He proclaims with a wide smile on his face. "The key was the 'kiss of acceptance', Hikaru." He spat swimming to stand on the shallow water. His soaked clothes are sticking to his skin.

Overjoyed, Hikaru leaps to tackle Kyoya as they both fall back into the calm pond water underneath the weeping willow tree.

Kyoya and Hikaru are floating in the middle of the pond as they silently share a giggle between them. Silence occurs as Kyoya fondly combs a strand back behind her ear. His midnight sapphire eyes are full of compassion. "Hikaru, you can call me 'Kyoya' instead of 'Master Tategami'."

Hikaru nods in agreement. "As you wish… Kyoya."

They share a light chuckle as they start to lean their faces closer together. Inch-by-inch. Their lips meet once more in a heartfelt and passionate kiss underneath the shade of the weeping willow tree's showering vines.

There is a pair of grunting noises near by the pond that interrupt the kiss shared between Kyoya and Hikaru.

Hikaru looks over her right shoulder to see a fox kit and a bear cub circle around the pond anxiously. She turns to look at Kyoya.

"Kyoya-kun, I want to help uplift their curses as well." Hikaru pleads with her newfound boyfriend.

Without an exchange in words, a reluctant Kyoya nods in agreement and acceptance. He can never bring himself to disagree with his delicate maid.

Hikaru leaps to hug him as she whispers her gratitude in his right ear. "Thank you, Kyoya-kun." She said tearfully.

Ekosi.

AN: Okay, my last chapter is finally finished. Yes. This is somewhat fluffy for Kyoya x Hikaru. Not as good as my Dynamis x Hikaru, though.
