Chapter 17

Warning: Got a lime

It's been weeks since the date and since then the 2 has been closer then ever. Count D was happy, Kuri was happy, Chris was happy, Grandpa D was REALLY happy, and Leon wasn't so much. Kuri was finally walking with no cane, no walker, or anything. But something was bothering her lately. While Count D was busy, she and Jill were at the library. Jill said, "I think this will be a great idea Kuri, but don't you want to go to a therapist?" Kuri shook her head. Once they arrived, there in the middle of the room was a lady in her 50s teaching some special needs kids to read and speak along with other teachers. It seems that Kuri wants to speak and thanks to Jill she signed Kuri up for speaking classes.

Kuri thought, 'I've been in the dark for so long. If I can speak again then I can beat the demons once and for all.'

The lady saw Kuri. "Aw Kuri you're here." She walked to her. "Welcome to my class. My name is Mrs. Nave and I'll be helping you speak again." J

ill put her hand on Kuri's shoulder and Kuri turned to her. "I'll pick you up in an hour."

Kuri smiled and nodded. Once Jill left, the 2 went to a desk and Mrs. Nave got some cards out. "Now our first lesson is for you to say the ABCs." she said.

Kuri nodded. The 2 went through the cards one by one Kuri would mouth the letter but somehow can't say it. After an half hour Kuri was getting frustrated.

Mrs. Nave rubbed her back. "It's alright Kuri, it takes time. You didn't expect to speak after one session did you?" Kuri have her a hopeful look. Mrs. Nave shook her head. "Well we're going to take this one step at a time." She got out another letter card out and when Kuri was trying to say it, Mrs. Nave gently hit her back and Kuri said a hoarse A. Kuri looked at Mrs. Nave shocked and so was she. "Can you do that again?" she asked. Kuri looked at the card again and say A again. No patted back. Kuri was so happy she was jumping up and down her seat. Mrs. Nave said, "That's our first. But we still have a long way to go. Think you can do it?" Kuri nodded.

The 2 worked for the rest of the hour trying to get Kuri to say the rest of the ABCs. So far all the speeches are hoarse but it's good enough. Mrs. Nave gave her a CD. "Do you have a CD player?" Kuri nodded. She got one a few weeks ago from Leon. "I want you to listen to this twice a day and try to repeat the speeches alright?" Kuri nodded and got the CD.

Then Jill came inside and went to Kuri. "So how are we doing?"

Mrs. Nave said, "Well she's making sounds but we still got a long way to go."

Jill smiled and hugged Kuri. "I'm so happy for you." Kuri hugged her back. Jill said, "Thank you Mrs. Nave but we have to go now."

Mrs. Nave said, "No problem. See you next week." Kuri waved at her and then the 2 left.

When Kuri made it back at the shop, she went to her room and hid the CD away so Count D wouldn't find it. She wants to surprise him on a special day but so far she hasn't pick a day yet. Count D found her in her room. "Welcome back Kuri. How was the library?" he asked.

'It was great Count D. Wish I could say the words though.'

Count D went to her and hugged her. "One day you will."

Kuri smiled and kissed him as she put her arms around him. 'I hope so too. I remember I used to love to sing. Maybe one day I can sing for you.' She rested her head on his shoulder.

"I know you will Kuri. I'm not loosing hope."

Later that night Count D and Kuri were in bed awake holding each other. 'When you went back to traveling after you left the village did you meet some nice people?' she asked him.

"A nice person is in the eyes of the beholder. Everyone has a dark secret inside of us." he replied.

Kuri rested her head on his chest hearing his heart. 'I'm sure you saw some sad things. What did you think when you wanted to be happy?'

Count D smiled and petted her hair. "Thinking of you when we meet as children. I always thought what you would be when you grow up. I could see a teacher, a singer, or even a vet. Your attitude back then showed me you had no limitations that you will go around the world once and then go again just for the fun of it. You smile and positive attitude was almost contagious. But then I remember the bruises you used to have and I will be a bit sad that you would try and hide them or show them to everyone so they can save you. But your smile would always drive that worry away." Count D then turned over on top of her smiling. "And you still have that contagious attitude." Kuri smiled as the 2 kissed.

As Kuri was kissing him, she started to remove his clothes. Count D broke the kiss. "It's too soon my love." he said. 'Doesn't mean we can't take steps.' She smiled at him as well as him.

They went back to kissing and when they sat up, she removed his top and he started to remove hers. Then Count D left her lips and started to kiss her flesh as her top was being remove. Kuri made soft moans and blushed as she felt such soft pleasure. Count D laid her down again and her top stopped on top of her breast as Count D kissed lower and lower. Soon it was removed and Kuri covered herself. Some of her scars were revealed. Count D saw them and looked at them sadly. "I'm so sorry what has happened to you." He started to kiss all of her exposed scars.

Kuri blushed and moaned again and soon her hands were removed and her breast were exposed. Count D started to suck and lick her breast which cause Kuri to moan louder refreshing her speaking cords. As Count D licked one breast, his hand played with the other as he used his other hand to hold her hands above her head. Kuri arched her back as she felt the pleasure Count D was giving her and her moans were making Count D hard but he knew that it was too soon to go all the way. Once he switched breast one of his hands went to her waste and started to massage her thighs. Kuri moaned more and felt she was getting wet. Once Count D was done, he went back to her lips and they kissed and held each other as they were making out. Kuri parted her legs and felt Count D's stiff muscle and she blushed. Then she turned him over and started to rub his chest.

'I love you D.' The 2 sat up again still kissing and he was on his lap. It continued like that for the rest of the night just kissing each other's neck, chest and making out.

The next morning, Count D woke up and saw he had Kuri in his arms and was viewing her back. He saw more scars but looked more faded. He grew sad again and started to kiss her back. It didn't take long for Kuri to feel it and smiled. She woke up. 'Morning D.'

Count D smiled. "Morning Kuri. Did I wake you?"

Kuri answered. 'I was awake already.' She turned to him covering her breast with the blanket and gave him a morning kiss. 'That was a great night we had D. We should have more of those more often.'

"If we did Leon wouldn't get off my back." Kuri laughed silently and hugged him. Count D smiled and rubbed her back. He kissed her head and got out of bed. He got dressed and said, "Might was well check on the animals. Wanna cook breakfast?"

Kuri sat up, holding the blanket to her chest and answered, 'Sure. But the time we finish, Leon will be here and if not he'll be at work.' She got her clothes and got dressed.

Count D said, "Then I'll see later then." They kissed and went their way.

Kuri first went to Chris's room. She went in there and saw he was still asleep. She went to his bed and gently shook him. 'Wake up Chris it's morning.' Chris groaned and rubbed his eyes. He woke up and opened his eyes to see Kuri.

'Morning.' He yawned and sat up.

'I see you slept good last night.' said Kuri.

Chris said, 'Sure did these beds are more comfy then the one's at brother's apartment.'

Kuri giggled. 'Well come on, it's almost breakfast time.'

Chris got out of bed. 'Alright I'll be down there soon.'

Kuri smiled. 'Alright.' She left his room and went to the kitchen to start cooking.
