Reid's Feelings

Sicily, Italy

Kiyumi's Room

Kiyumi is sitting at her desk doing a bit of research on her black laptop. Reid is standing beside Kiyumi's desk, his right hand clenching his left breast in pain. Kiyumi looks at Reid worried. "What's wrong, Reid?" Kiyumi asked.

"Something bad is happening in the City of Heaven, something that is blocking the use of my powers."

"That isn't good."

"No, it isn't, since now I cannot keep track of Mitsuru and Tatsumaru for Hades and Shun."

"Um, you just mentioned three Gods to me…"

"Right now, I'm powerless, so it really doesn't matter what I say."

"What's going on in Heaven?"

"If I knew, I'd be able to tell you, but I don't know."

"No need to get snippy."

"I'm terribly sorry, my dear, I'm just in a slight bit of pain," Reid said, Kiyumi's computer screen flashes as it finishes loading. A brief description of Mitsuru is on the screen. Kiyumi begins to read the information aloud.

"This is what I got from my search, Reid.

Mitsuru Kowada is the God of Suffering. With a mere touch of his hands, he can make anyone suffer their worst memory or nightmare. He is also known as Eternal Suffering to many others. Kowada does not have full control of his powers even now. Most times, he touches people out of anger to make them suffer. In times of peace, he does not know what to do. Mitsuru is close friends with the Dragon God Tatsumaru.'" Kiyumi read the information in a low voice. Kiyumi finishes reading the biography on Mitsuru and she looks at Reid again. "That man that I met was the God of Suffering. In addition, since he cannot touch anyone with the palms of his hands, he refused to help me up." Reid looks at Kiyumi adoringly.

"You're such a clever woman." Reid moves closer to Kiyumi, his movements are lurid and graceful as well as seductive. Kiyumi stands up, looking at Reid closely. Reid holds her shoulders firmly in his hands before kissing her lips tenderly. Kiyumi's eyes open wide in shock, before she kisses Reid back fiercely.

Reid unbuttons Kiyumi's blue blouse, takes it off, and throws it to the floor. He gropes her breasts him his hands as he continues to kiss her. Slowly he walks her towards the bed and lays her down on her back. Kiyumi pulls Reid closer to her body. Reid unbuckles her bra, takes it off, and tosses it aside. He tongues her right nipple in his mouth, teasing her with his hot touch. Sliding his left hand up her thigh, he looks into her eyes as he takes off her skirt and panties. Reid fingers her cleft with gentle fingers.

"Are you sure, you're ready for this?" Reid asked.

"Well, I'm not entirely sure…"

"Once it's done, there is no turning back…"

"I know that…"

"If you're ready, we must hurry. Remember, we do have a date tonight."

"A date? I'm not even dressed to go on a date. Well, I'm not anymore…" Reid pins her down and begins kissing every inch of her naked body. Kiyumi moans loudly in ecstasy.

"You're enjoying this…"

"Reid, please don't stop…"

"I will never stop." Kiyumi holds Reid's back, pressing his fully clothed body against hers. She moans even louder as she begins to tremble with her orgasm. A door slams shut downstairs and they freeze. "Where are your brothers, Kiyumi?"

"I don't know. They went out early this morning…"

"Shit, this may not be good." Reid gets off Kiyumi and straightens his clothes. Kiyumi gets up and puts on her pink bathrobe, tying it around her waist.

"I will go downstairs first; you follow a few minutes later."

"All right, Kiyumi, be careful." Kiyumi nods her head and then kisses Reid before leaving her room.

Downstairs

Kitchen

Bijimaru and Satoru are in the kitchen looking for something to eat. "Satoru, do you think Kiyumi is home?" Bijimaru asked.

"I'm not sure…" Satoru said. Kiyumi walks into the kitchen clad in her pink bathrobe.

"Right on cue, hey Kiyumi," Bijimaru said.

"Bijimaru, Satoru, how was your day so far?" Kiyumi asked as she takes a carton of juice out of the fridge and pours herself a glass.

"It was fine, I suppose," Satoru answered.

"What about your day, Kiyumi?" Bijimaru asked.

"It was the most awesome day of the week!" she answers happily. Reid comes downstairs and in the kitchen still fully dressed. Satoru looks at Reid and then at Kiyumi. He walks over to Reid and decks him hard in the face. He is clearly angry.

"What have you been doing with my sister?" Satoru roars angrily. Reid rubs his cheek slightly, pulling his hand from his face he sees blood on his fingers. He has a busted lower lip. Kiyumi places herself between Reid and her brothers.

"Why did you just strike me?" Reid asked.

"Answer my damn question, you fucking bastard!"

"Calm down, Satoru. Kiyumi is old enough to make her own decisions now," Bijimaru said. Satoru rounds on Bijimaru.

"BUT HE IS TOO DAMN OLD FOR HER!" Satoru yelled in outrage.

"And with that, my friend, is where you would be wrong," Reid said calmly.

"Stop fighting please!" Kiyumi pleaded.

"Just how old are you, Reid?" Bijimaru asked.

"I will be 31 as of tomorrow."

"And I'm 30, so there is nothing wrong with it!" Kiyumi said angrily. Satoru looks at Kiyumi closely seeing the burning anger in her light brown eyes.

"I'm sorry, you're right," Satoru said to Kiyumi. Then he faces Reid. "I'm sorry for hitting you."

"It's fine, I guess," Reid said. Although 'sorry' doesn't heal the bleeding from my lip. Reid walks away, thinking of why he is currently powerless. He takes a rag out of his pocket and cleans his hand and lip trying to stop the bleeding.
