Please go easy on me with this chapter if you write a review I've never written a lemon before and honestly I was so embarrassed writing it I'm not sure if I will do another lemon lol… ok here you go.

A Happy Ending

We took a few days to rest in the port town before leaving. Instead of paying off another passenger ship we bought tickets like other passengers and are now waiting for the ship to take us to Sheva Island, to take Jacob home. We decided to go with him just for the enjoyment of the ride and curios to see what the island is like. Rai was turned over to the Moldor Navy by Thane just as he said he would; with all the charges and cruelty against him Rai is never getting the chance to see the light of day again. The others found Dom's and gave him a proper burial before many of them went on home to where they belonged. The ones left were those that had nothing to return to; they decided it best that they try finding their own path from here and are here to see Jacob and I off. Although Thane has a little sister and brother waiting for him he decided to stay to see us off as well. Even though the never really acted like it on the ship everyone seems to be acting really close and friendly with each other.

"It's kind of nice…" I say.

"What is?" Nathan Asks from his resting spot on my shoulder.

"I didn't think they were close like this on Rai's ship; but it looks as if nothing ever happened to them now seeing them talk like this."

"I guess if you had a dictator like Rai anything would seem better heh heh." Morgan says from atop my head.

"I guess…" I start to feel a little self conscious. "Hey…any chance you all could get off me."

"Why Miss Reisaki…don't you like cuddling with us?"

"It's not that Thomas…you guys are human right now and…everyone is staring at us…" I see a couple pass by us staring at the six of them clinging to me and start up their own conversation still glancing over here as I sit on a barrel. My face starts to turn red, "Um…please let go…"

"No." Eduardo tugs on my arm and brings my hand up to his lips, "We haven't been able to relax with you for a long time; so put up with it for now."

"But-but- but…people are staring…! This isn't natural for public."

"I fail to see what's wrong with it…" Nathan says.

"Oh I give up…" I sigh in defeat.

"Er…Reisaki?" Jacob looks at us with a questionable look.

"It's not my fault; it's theirs! I tried explaining it to them…they won't-"

"Hey Doc, what are you doing?" the hand that Eduardo was holding suddenly becomes free. Soon the others are forced to either let go or get off me when Christopher get's to them.

"Hey Christopher what are you doing?"

"She doesn't like it captain." Christopher smiles.

"But you had your head in her lap just a second ago!" Russell protests.

"Hmm? Did I?"

"Don't play innocent Doc…" Nathan looks as though he's sulking as Christopher continues to smile.

"Our ship's getting ready to set sail; we should get going." Jacob interjects.

"Alright." I gather my things and we head over to the others waiting. Thane and the others see us off. I thank Thane one last time for saving me and bow lightly before smiling. Thane takes my hand and kisses it while thanking me. This prompts an expected response out of my six charges each pulling me close as they glare at Thane warning him to stay away.

"You must have your hands full with these guys…" he says looking at me who's trying to stay up right.

"Well I wouldn't put up with it if I didn't like them. I wouldn't change them even if I could; they're my family so it's ok…um guys can you let go now?"

"Now way!" they all say in unison.

"Boys…RELEASE!" at my command they all let me go and I walk towards the ship nonchalantly but happily, "Yeah I wouldn't change anything about my life…"

…

It takes a while to get used to the ship on our long travel. The room we're given is pretty simple and comfortable. But for the most part the entire trip is calm and relaxing. Of course we had to stop at many ports for the ship to be restocked and a few storms got in the way but all in all the entire trip was quiet. It was hard to try and do anything but relax. We could all finally put the hardship behind us. After about two months of being out at se we finally reach Sheva island. It almost looks like Yamato. The land is covered in forestry and trees, yet the port looks like something from Yamato but there are some differences. It would be easy to spot them if it wasn't for them being so subtle. (A.N. Sheva island is supposed to depict chinese culture.) The others are antsy to get off the boat; I guess secretly the were wanting to get on land for a long time. Jacob however seems quiet by us as he stares at the port town.

"Jacob are you ok?" I can't help but ask.

"The port has gotten bigger… it was much smaller when I last saw it."

"You mean seven years ago…?"

"Don't get me wrong I'm happy to be home…I am but so much has changed…I'm wondering how I'm going to be able to pick up where I left off." That's understandable…

"I can't really say I know how you feel since I haven't been through it myself. But I guess you should just take it one day at a time…no doubt being under Rai has left its scars but once you get back to your life before him, I'm sure things will fall into place again and slowly but surly you can forget those past seven years and pick up where you left off." It's the best I can come up with and after I've said what I want I look back at the scene before me. Once the ship docks the others race off in a hurry to look around making me panic slightly at the trouble they could cause. The only one who stays by me is Christopher who holds my hand as I chase after the other five.

…

Even though we're close it takes as a few days to reach Gen Hon village the place Jacob left his daughter. The others decide to walk as wolves for a while since they were unable to for the past few months. I guess at heart they're all still wild. Soon the village comes into view. The view is so breath taking I stop for a moment to take it all in. And I thought my home was close to nature…this is… there are buildings here and there but only necessary ones such as homes and inns and maybe one or two places to eat. But nothing else; there are as few buildings as possible and as much of nature as possible. Cranes walk in the streets as people pass them some even feed them. Hearing what they have to say all the animals here enjoy living along side humans. Soon though I have to stop looking around and follow Jacob. Russell and the others can hardly believe it as well as the wander off from time to time to take a look at the surroundings. Many bow politely to us as we pass by placing their hands together in front of them before bowing; Jacob does the same so I follow the action. It's a bit different from where I'm from but I still manage. Many kids come up to the wolves and start petting them before heading back to their homes even Eduardo somewhat likes the attention and allows them to touch him. This will definitely work out if we can find a place to live.

"It's amazing here…"

"You look like you're in paradise." Jacob says.

"Sorry I can't help it…even back in Yamato it was never like this."

"I know what you mean; it certainly brings back memories."

"Yu?" Jacob turns at the unfamiliar name as a tall old woman with greying black hair looks at him through big eye glasses. She wears a simple dress (Chinese dress) that has a bit of pattern.

"Hamma…" tears brim in her eyes as they bow to each other; then without warning she hugs him tightly.

"Oh thank god…you're alright…! I feared we would never see you again…"

"I thought so too but I'm back." He turns to me remembering I'm also here, "This is Reisaki; she helped me get back home; Reisaki this is my aunt on my mother's side."

"Please call me Hamma." We bow to each other.

"It's nice to meet you ma'am." I say before turning to Jacob, "Yu?"

"That's my real name…I hid it from Rai when he first came here…I was hoping it would throw him off our track when I first encountered him."

"I see…"

"You two came just in time for the Silver Lotus Festival. Everyone is getting ready for it."

"Silver Lotus Festival…?"

"It happens tonight; for three nights during spring a certain flower blooms on the surface of every body of water here in the village; they even bloom on the oceans surface you can see if from here. The Lotuses absorb the light from the moon and give off a gentle glow of their own during the night. It's a wonderful sight." She turns to Jacob or now I know his real name to be Yu, "I'm sure she would love it if you would go with her…it's been so long since you and Yanna went."

"…How is she?"

"She's been going to the shrine every day ever since you left offering prayers in hopes that her father would return one day soon." So his daughter never gave up…that's great. "If you hurry you should be able to catch her in time." Yu turns to me,

"Well then…"

"You go on ahead; we'll wait here with Hamma."

"But-"

"There are moments that even friends shouldn't intrude upon…this is one of them Yu. You've waited for seven years before you could see her again…the only person she's going to be seeing at that moment is you."

"But…I want you to meet her."

"And I will…later though. You should enjoy your time with your daughter." I look down at the six wolves by me, "A little help here guys." Russell jumps up and pushes Yu away hoping to send the message to get going. The others urge him on in their own ways until finally Yu heads off to the shrine. We watch him until he's out of sight,

"Now then…" Hamma places her hands on my shoulders, "You seem to have a story to tell yourself; why don't I put on some tea and you can tell me all about it…" there's a whine from one of my four legged friends making Hamma laugh, "Of course I'll get your friends here something as well."

"Tea sounds nice…"

"So I put this sash around like…this?" I ask Hamma as she helps me get ready for the festival. The dress somewhat resembles a hakama flowy and billowy long sleeves. But the dress even though it looked similar there were some differences. Even the vest that went over the robes was wrapped in the gold sash. The gold garment was accented with a light purple and black here and there. (A.N. If you type in under google images traditional Chinese dresses you should fins something what I was trying to describe…)

"Yes that's right; you're a fast learner Reisaki. Next is the hair garment." I sit down for her to finish with my hair when the door suddenly bursts open.

"Miss Reisaki; tell Russell to stop messing my robes up!" Thomas for the third time this evening is being bullied by Russell. And his clothes are indeed a mess once again. I can't help but sigh.

"You little snitch! Stop being such a cry baby; why don't you learn to fight your own battles!"

"My, my you lot really must learn how to knock on a ladies door…I know you all from the Yamato legend and all but this is the third time you've come into her room without knocking…how rude." Hamma's scolding seems to make the two of them go quiet. I told her about how we all met and she seemed to believe me and swore that she would tell no one about us. I stand and pat Thomas on the head,

"There, there Thomas let's see if we can fix this up." I start to fix Thomas' robes again as the others file in quietly.

"thanks Miss Reisaki."

"And you Russell stop picking on him…"

"Why am I the one getting scolded?!"

"Because you're the one being a bully…what happened this time anyway? First it was over who's meat is who's then who's robes were who's, what did you pick on Thomas for this time?"

"No special reason Reisaki; Russell just likes to mess with him." Eduardo says smugly. I let out another sigh.

"Stuff it you one eyed lizard!"

"What'd you call me you insignificant worm?"

"Stop fighting…! Both of you need to chill out!" Christopher stands in the middle of the soon to be dog fight and starts scolding them himself. My heart warms as I remember my feelings for him. at the moment I'm not sure how I should even bring it up to him but for the time being I just want to enjoy the festival. I hope Yu and his daughter have fun together… Hamma leads us down the stairs to see us off and I allow the others to go off and do what they want so long as they do it with in the boundaries of human society. Making sure they understand that they don't even wait to let me say good bye to them they all run off to do their own thing.

"Hee hee, I guess they were all more excited than they let on." I'm about to go and enjoy the festival when a big warm hand grabs hold of mine and entwines our fingers. I look to see who it is and find Christopher smiling gently at me. "I thought you went off with the others."

"My job is to protect you so I have to stay by you."

"You know you don't have to do that any more? Rai isn't here."

"I know…" he tightens his grip slightly on my hand, "So what do you want to do first." Taking advantage of his hand holding mine I cling to his arm secretly spazzing on the inside with happiness as I state where I want to go first. Walking around we cone to some stands selling variously themed items for the festival. I'm not sure what to get so I only look at the items unable to choose just one that I like. Christopher only watches me silently as I point out things that I like. Occasionally he says something but I think he's having more fun watching me react to things than anything else. An unusual looking earing catches my eye. There's only one but the jewel on the end or it looks as though it's a tear drop from the moon and I cant help but stare at it for a long time. The vendor shows me a simple stud earing that could go with it to replace the fact it's not a matching set. Oddly enough I end up loving the look about it with the first earing. However since I have no money I can't buy it. After I'm done looking it the various shopping stands we wander around until we reach the food stands. It was a good thing too since I was actually starting to get hungry. Everyone seems to be taking the plates without paying making me think they're free. But…

"Excuse me but do we have to pay for this food?" I can't help but ask since I have no money.

"Yep all the food is free! Enjoy as much as you want." with that I take my time trying to decide what I want.

"Reisaki what about this?" Christopher shows me a plate with hot noodles mixed in with some vegetables.

"It looks good but I still want to walk around at the same time…don't you?"

"That's a good point." A thought occurs to me making me laugh, "What's so funny?"

"I wouldn't be surprised if Russell and even Nathan were here right now. Russell would be stuffing his face and Nathan would be trying everything to see how it was made." He laughs,

"That's true; it does sound like them."

"Reisaki." We turn to see Yu standing there with his Aunt and another girl. Although her hair is black it's very short. Her eyes sparkle like emeralds. "Where are the others?"

"All off doing their own thing. They didn't even give me a chance to say anything really."

"I see; guess they haven't been to a festival in a long time."

"So you're the one that father told me about." the girl steps forward looking my in the eye, "You're Reisaki?"

"Yes…are you Yanna?"

"That's right. Thank you for helping father get back home."

"Oh I didn't do that much of anything…"

"That's not what it sounded like to me; from what father told me you not only helped him but the entire crew free from that horrible man."

"Er…that's a bit of an exaggeration…"

"That's not entirely true." I turn to Christopher, " If you hadn't talked to them they would all still be under Rai's thumb."

"It's true…" Yu agrees. Suddenly Yanna grabs my hands smiling at me,

"Father told me you may be planning on living here with your friends."

"Um…well yes, if we can find a place to-"

"That's wonderful; come on I'll show you around."

"Ah- w-wait I was-!"

"Come on; I'll show you all the good things about our village!" Yanna leaves no room for me to protest as she drags me away from the group. I feel a little disappointed since I can't be with Christopher but I still go along with her. Yanna and I talk as we walk and enjoy ourselves. As she shows me around she shows me a path that leads to a garden filled with different little ponds. On the surface are lily pads with budding flowers.

"Are these…?"

"Silver Lotuses; yes." She kneels down looking into the water, "The Silver Lotus is one of my favorite flowers."

"Looking at it right now I can sort of see why you would say that. It must be very beautiful in full bloom."

"Yes they are; they're like sparkling gems on the water. It has a meaning behind it." I kneel down next to her as she talks, "New hope." She closes her eyes as if she's remembering something, "When father was first taken away I didn't know what to do. I had thought that I would never see him again. If it wasn't for grandma always telling me to keep going I don't think I could have. The first year was the hardest especially when the Silver Lotus festival came. Father and I always went to the festival every year to watch the flowers bloom. It was painful to watch them with out him there. But Grandma told me that when the Lotus blooms it means a new hope has been born; she told me that her new hope was that her son would return someday. She told me that I couldn't give up hope that he would return. So I made a promise that day that I wouldn't give up hope and that I would believe that he would come back home. I went to the shrine everyday and prayed hoping that he would come home and now today that prayer was finally answered." Tears start to well up in her eyes as Yanna remembers their reunion. "I almost thought he was an Illusion when I first saw him; I thought I was going crazy. But it was him…" still crying she looks over at me, "He told me about you and the wolves; about how you all got captured and everything. He also told me about how you helped him escape…that if it wasn't for you he wouldn't be home right now." She wipes her tears away and looks at me with a smile. "I wanted to thank you Reisaki…I know you don't think you did much but you did much more than what you think. You brought our family back together again. She wasn't able to be here today but my grandma was so happy when she saw father come through the door. So thank you Reisaki; thank you for bringing him home." I look down not sure what to say. I'm glad they can be happy again…hopefully one day at a time they can get back to where they left off. "By the way on a different note; there's another meaning behind the Silver Lotus." She says making me look up at her, "New found love." Huh?

"Er…what do you mean?" my cheeks feel very hot at the moment.

"Don't pretend like you don't know; you and the one father called Christopher."

"N-Nani?!"

"You love him right?" you can practically see the mischievous cat ears and tail on her right now, "I saw how you were clinging to his arm when we ran into you; and you looked so happy. Father said it was pretty obvious how you two felt especially when he protected you from the griffon."

"Um…I…well…"

"I'll let you in on a little secret; this festival is also a time for people to confess their love for one another so…"

"I-It's not that simple! H-how would I even be able to tell him; not to mention I don't really know how he feels…"

"Well how will you know if you don't ask?"

"Um…"

"Come on don't be so shy just tell him." that's easy for her to say! She doesn't know how it feels! "My fiancé and I told each other how we felt on the second eve of the festival." I stand corrected…

After she tries to give me a pep talk for the past few minutes before we head back to the festival. After Yanna's urges to get me to say my feelings to Christopher I can't really stop my heart from pounding now. Yanna spots her father so she decides to go with him leaving me alone for the time being. I walk around hoping to see a familiar face in the crowd but they all must be doing their own thing; I can't seem to find any of them. Since this is the case I try to find Christopher again while enjoying the sights and sounds of the festival. Soon though I find myself lost in a quiet part of the town unable to find my way back. Did I come from this way or was it back that way…? No…no I went left here didn't I? sigh…why am I so bad at directions? oh maybe I can ask those people there for help.

As I start to get closer I realize there a bunch of thugs heading this way. With the flag raised I turn around trying to head in a different direction but it was a bit too late.

"Hey, hey where are you off to in such a hurry blossom." One of them cuts me off trapping me in their group.

"Um no where just the festival is all…I uh…lost sight of the group I was with and some how ended up here. Please excuse me." I try to weave passed them but one grabs hold of my arm.

"Hey now blossom, c'mon we haven't had any fun at all today; stay with us for a while."

"N-no please I really should be getting back to my friends. Please let go of me." I try to pull my hand away but he only pulls me close.

"Come on now don't be like that blossom." His other hand tries to caress my face when another grabs hold of his.

"Christopher?!" although he's usually kind he stares coldly at the man holding me,

"I will only say this once: let her go." The person holding me lets go immediately and Christopher pulls me close to him. "Don't come near her again or I will make you pay." With that Christopher helps me make our back to the festival. "Are you alright?" he asks releasing me only to hold my hand again like he did before.

"Yes I'm alright; I just got a bit lost is all."

"I thought you were with Yanna?"

"I was but then she found Yu; I think the reason she wanted me to come with her was so she could thank me in person."

"I see."

"I tried finding you but then I got lost and ended up in that part of the town."

"Well then I'm glad I found you in time." My heart beats wildly in my chest as the heat from his hand slowly travels up mine. I cling to his arm again; in response he squeezes my hand tightly, "Reisaki?"

"Yes?"

"While you were gone I found a field that has a good view of the ocean. The flowers bloom at midnight so I thought we could see them from there; there's also supposed to be fire works too…did you want to take a look?" I would get to be alone with Christopher…? It may be my only chance… I nod smiling at him.

"Yes."

…

The pathway is well hidden and no one would be able to find it unless they stumbled upon it by accident but my guess is that Christopher's heightened sight must have been able to see it easily at first.

"Did you cover the entrance when you left it? I saw you place tree branches in front of the path behind us."

"Yes I didn't want anyone else to find this place so I hid it."

"How come?"

"Well…I wanted you to be the first to see it." as he leads the way I think I can see his ears turn red slightly. Is he embarrassed? " The path is a bit steep here so be careful." He holds out a hand to me and I take it. Soon we reach an opening and the land is laid before us. A field covered in tall grass and wild flowers sways gently in the breeze. As the field stretches it soon meets the ocean and from there the ocean meets the sky and a full moon floats over it all making the perfect scene.

"This is incredible…" Christopher leads me out into the field and we sit down waiting for the flowers to bloom. Waiting we chat about a few trivial things having fun just being around each other. While waiting I pick a few of the wild flowers and start creating chains like I did when I was little. Coincidentally they turn out to be the same colors as the flowers from back then as well. Christopher leans in closely as I continue to make the chain, resting his head on my shoulder. Suddenly he lifts his head,

"Reisaki look." Looking up I spot something glittering on the surface of the ocean in the distance. Soon the glittering shimmers in other places until finally the entire ocean is filled with shining stars on its surface. "Those must be the flowers Hamma told us about."

"It's so pretty…Yamato doesn't have anything like this at all."

"Do you miss it at all; your home I mean." I look up into his eyes thinking about how to answer that question,

"I thought I would when we were trapped by Rai and I guess for some time I did miss it; but now I'm kind of glad that we left there. Things are nicer here than they were back in Yamato…it's never been this calm before. So I guess no I don't miss Yamato all that much; although I do miss Bachan and the other animals; I don't think I would want to go back there."

"I see."

"What about you?"

"So long as I'm with you and I can see you smile like that then I'm fine." his words make my cheeks feel slightly hot as I stare at the ocean. "Reisaki…" he places a hand on my cheek and gently turns my face towards his. I'm surprised to see his cheeks are a bit rose colored honestly, "Can I tell you something that I've been keeping from you for a long time…"

"A…long time…?" I ask meekly; he nods, "W-what is it?" he takes a deep breath still looking at me steadily but suddenly he looks away and takes his hand away from my cheek placing it on his head scratching it. What ever he has to say seems to be making him very flustered so I try to go first, "Do you mind if I go first Christopher; I have…something I need to say to you too…" he nods seeming to relax a bit. "Remember when we were hiding out in that old building?" my heart starts to pound as I remember the events that followed up to my finding out how I felt, "A-at the time I didn't really know how I felt; I didn't know that I had met you when I was little or at least I didn't remember…but as we talked we kept getting closer and closer we…" my face feels so hot right now I can't even finish my sentence, "um…at that time I realized something that I hadn't even thought about and…well…um…Yanna s-she…she said that this festival is…is a time when p-people confess how they feel for each…other…" I think…I'm about to ramble… "I- I mean what I'm trying to say is that I love you but it's not coming out right I mean I didn't want to rant on about everything but I just didn't know where to start so I guess I started from where I did but I should have just said what I wanted to but in Yamato girls are taught to be conservative with their feelings and I know I never was one for following the rules but it's still really embarrassing to say how I feel like this and now I can't seem to stop talking it's like I don't have an off switch and I can't stop talking about nonsense but I mean that's not the point I mean I really really do love you Christopher but I just didn't realize it until just recently and then when Yanna dragged me off she told be about how the festival was a time when lovers told each other how they felt so I was thinking hey why don't I try to tell him how I feel but this isn't really working out is it I mean I'm still rambling on an on about complete nonsense I'm sorry maybe I should just-" suddenly Christopher cups my face gently with his hands and I feel something seal over my lips encasing them in a soft warmth. When I realize what's happening, his kiss leaves me in a bliss filled daze and I feel all the muscles in my body relax. After what seems like forever he slowly pulls away, "Um…Can I take that as your answer…?"

"Do you want me to answer you again mistress?"

"Uh-hum…" again he kisses me and again I let the sensation fill me with happiness,

"I love you Reisaki…I have for quite a long time."

"Wah…really?" he nods as he remembers, "Although I guess it was similar to your situation; right before we nearly kissed I realized it myself. Although I think I felt this way for longer than that. Probably since I first met you…"

"For that long?"

"Although I think at the time I mistook it for fondness; it was probably for the best that way now that I think about it." there's a loud whistle like sound followed by a boom that makes him pull me into his chest protectively. The sky fills with colors and my laugh comes out a bit muffled so I pull my head away from him a bit,

"Tee hee…it's ok Christopher it's just the fireworks."

"Fireworks?"

"Don't you remember you said they would do a firework show? Look." I point up to the sky as an explosion of greens and yellows, silver and purple and many other combinations fire off in the sky. Some of them even explode into different shapes like the lotus itself along with animals and other plants. Some are even so complex that several are set off together to make a painting of a scene in front of us. as we watch the show I lean on his chest listening to his heart beat. Soon I forget all about the show in front of us as I absentmindedly watch them. Suddenly he takes hold of my hand that I didn't even realize was on his chest,

"Ah…sorry." I say looking up at him,

"It's not that I didn't like it it's just…" he leans in closer nearly kissing me again, "If you keep inviting me like that I won't be able to stop myself." looking into his eyes the colors from the fireworks reflect in them showing the fire and passion that seems to be igniting in them and I realize that even though he had mostly forgotten what it was like to be human that in this instance he didn't forget. At this thought my heart gives an almighty thump but I'm not scared. I place my hands on his shoulders and shyly look into his eyes.

"I…don't mind…if it's you Christopher." There's a long moment of silence as he seems to contemplate what I just said then as if to signal him he presses his lips against mine as the next set of fireworks fills the sky. Every kiss is subtly different from the last as we kiss again and again. My heart starts to beat wildly as his lips grow hotter on mine and the kisses grow deeper. Slowly he leans his weight over on me just a bit as one arm holds me around the waist. a heat begins to spread through my body as I submit myself to him and I find myself clinging to his shoulders as my mind goes blank. He licks my lips as if asking for permission to enter; slowly but surely I respond allowing him in. His tongue explores my mouth before dancing with mine as if he's trying to memorize every part of it. It's so slow and gentle I feel so light headed that I start to wonder what the rest of this will make me feel like. Once he finishes exploring my mouth his lips travel down my neck to my collarbone where I let out a small gasp.

"hm..!" I try holding back a moan that threatens to escape,

"Don't…" the intricate design that Hamma had put time in with my hair suddenly comes undone and my hair falls randomly all over. Christopher leans on me once again gently pushing me down into the tall grass. We've both forgotten about the fireworks and the Silver Lotus by now only focusing on each other, the tall grass hiding the both of us as he leans over me. His lips graze my ear, "I want to hear you." Again he kisses my collarbone lightly nipping at my skin this time,

"Ah…Christopher…!" it seems to be something he wanted to hear as he entwines my fingers in one hand and his other works on my clothes. Again he kisses me deeply and more aggressively than the past kisses. The air suddenly blows on my exposed chest and stomach as Christopher parts my robes. "H-hey…w-what if someone comes out here…?" I ask as he begins to explore my body with his lips.

"heh…you're just now asking that?" he answers as he removes my covering from my chest exposing me even further. That's a good point…at this point it's a bit too late to even think about that…

"Hah!" he kisses a sensitive area that he's found between my breasts and I clamp a hand over my mouth blushing fiercely. He stares at me for a moment before laughing out loud; that just makes me blush even more, "Don't laugh…this is embarrassing for me…!" I whine as I turn over showing him my back,

"Hee hee…I'm sorry don't be mad…" I hear the movement of clothing leaving me to guess that he's removing a layer or two just as he did with me. For some reason the thought of seeing him like that sends another wave of heat throughout my body as my heart races even more. "Don't worry; I hid the entrance to this field very well. Even captain and the others won't be able to find this place. No one is going to see us I promise. Now can you turn back around so I can see you properly?" for some reason I feel like playing hard to get… I look over my shoulder at him pouting slightly,

"Convince me to turn around…" before I turn back around I catch a glimpse of his chest bare and broad like I though it would be and him looking at me confused. Maybe that was to mean…I shouldn't have said that… I'm about to turn back around when I feel him wrap an arm around me from behind and his hand starts to travel my front while his lips suddenly plant kisses on my neck and work down my back. "W-wait! Ah…Chris-Christopher…nyah?!" at the center of my back he's somehow found another sensitive spot. Seeming to take my challenge to heart he teases the area for some tie with his tongue and teeth as his hands continue to explore my chest lightly moving over my breast. The sudden overload of sensations from both sides makes me feel lightheaded and I suddenly feel very hot. "Ah…!" suddenly he climbs over me and grabs my chin forcing me to turn his way and he forces his tongue into my mouth. it's too much…! "Mmm! Mmmmm!" I try to push him away to let me breath but in only succeeds in making him more aroused as he deepens the kiss even more; he takes hold of the hand that I use to try and push him away and the other moves lower on my body. Finally he lets me breathe and I gasp for air. As he allows me to catch my breath he helps me turn back around to face him before hovering above me,

"Was that convincing enough mistress?" he smiles at me like he usually would but the fire in his eyes is clearly visible and it leaves no room for me to protest about anything; all I'm allowed to do is nod truthfully. "May I continue mistress?"

"B-baka…! Knock it off with the mistress stuff…would you…it sounds weird…" I say shyly looking away from him, covering my chest with my arms. Christopher leans down and lightly kisses my cheek and move to my neck again allowing his lips to ghost over the skin.

"May I continue Reisaki?" his gentle voice sends a shiver throughout my body and somehow nearly breaks my sanity,

"Yes…please…" slowly his fingers play with the bad of my underwear slightly teasing me especially since I have been feeling uncomfortable down there for quite sometime. As he begins to pull down he hesitates for a moment before stopping mid way, "What's the matter…?" I ask with anticipation,

"I know this is a bit late but are you sure you want to do this?" hee hee…a gentleman up to the very end… the gesture makes me smile as I laugh slightly. I prop myself up on one elbow and lightly press my lips to his. He takes it as my consent again deepening the kiss. Again I end up back on my back and he continues to remove my last article of clothing. I suddenly realize that I'm completely bare in front of him but I have no time to react to the fact as he begins to play with the curls around my nether region. Everywhere he touches makes me whimper and gasp. Without any warning he puts a finger in between the folds as if he's trying to tease me even more than before. Heat and pleasure suddenly surge through my body,

"Ah! Mgh…!" he applies more pressure as he drags his finger up and down at a steady pace; my body shivers at uncontrollably as I try to stifle myself from crying out too loud. He adds another finger this time entering me causing my body to feel weak as more pleasure courses through my body. He seems curious about reaction and takes hold of one of my legs trying to give him more access by lifting it up. Along with the first finger he continues to rub me on the inside as if trying to see what will happen next. "C-Christopher…um…! T-there…more please…!" he listens rubbing a certain area harder than before; he suddenly stops taking his fingers out from inside me and curiously licks his fingers. I don't think he realizes how lewd the sight is as he savors the taste.

"You taste good Reisaki…" he leans down still holding onto my leg,

"Christopher what are you- mmm!" he suddenly starts to lick at my wet entrance seeming more thirsty than the last lick. The sensation is over powering and I feel as if I'm close to something I'm not too sure about; but I can't take his teasing any more, "Christopher Please! I can't wait a-anymore…!" I beg. He stops looking me in the eye. Taking the hint he releases my leg and quietly kisses me.

"Sorry…" I'm not sure why he's apologizing at the moment but I silently nod my head while I try to remember where I am and what I was doing before all this started. My train of thought is interrupted when Christopher leans over me forcing me to lie down; using his legs he spreads mine ever so slightly as he positions himself properly. It suddenly sinks in for me that we're actually doing something rather intimate and my heart thumps loudly at the realization. "This is your first time right…?" I hear Christopher ask from above me. I nod covering my face with my hands, "heh, are you scared?" he gently pulls my hands away from my face.

"No…just nervous…" he caresses my cheek gently

"I can't promise anything… but I'll try to be as gently as possible." Reaching up I hold onto Christopher as tight as possible and he responds by wrapping his arms around me.

"I don't mind so long as it's you…" I say in his ear. He waits for a few moments before his grip around me slightly tightens bracing me for what's to come. At first I feel him at my entrance and I take a deep breath. I feel an immense, tight pressure as he pushes in deeper inside me. The new sensation causes me to whimper and he stops for a moment.

"Reisaki?"

"I'm ok; keep going…" he goes deeper inside me until I feel something like a rip or tare inside me and a new pain erupts inside me. "Hn!" my whole body tenses as I cling to him as tight as I can; in response he kisses my ear before whispering love and other things in my ear trying to sooth me. I concentrate on his words as the pain subsides and my body gradually starts to relax again. Christopher sighs in relief before kissing me gently,

"I'm sorry I hurt you…"

"I told you I don't mind so long as it's you…"

"Are you alright?" I nod allowing him to continue. He starts moving at a slow pace trying to gauge my reaction. At first it still hurts from the fact that he broke my barrier but every so often the pleasure starts to slowly creep over the pain. After a while the pain disappears completely and I start moving in sync with his. Taking it as a sign that he can go further Christopher picks up his pace managing to go deeper and deeper. The sensation sends new waves of pleasure and delight throughout my entire being. I can't do anything but let loose the moan that follows the sensations. I dig my nails into his shoulders and I find myself biting into his shoulder, "Ngh…!" there's a growl at the end of his moan as he lifts my leg trying to thrust in deeper inside of me instead he hits various sensitive areas,

"Ahhh…Christopher! Please…more!" I have no idea why I'm want for him to continue but the more he thrusts the more I feel as if I'm getting close to something amazing. Something tightens in my lower region as heat begins to build up. He once again picks up his pace seeming to feel the same as me. I release his shoulders as I cling to the grass and my gasps for air suddenly make me feel as though I'm hyperventilating. The heat and tightness increases in my abdomen; by now he's targeting my sensitive spots as much as possible while thrusting as fast as possible. He takes hold of my hands and locks them above my head with one hand while he grabs hold my chin forcefully and kisses me hungrily. A few of the cries I let out are muffled by the seal of his lips but soon they're able to escape when he bites into my neck many times as if to leave his mark over and over. My thoughts are so chaotic that I can't even think or focus on one thing. Colors start to flash in front of my eyes but I don't think they're from the fireworks. The feeling in my abdomen becomes too much but still I can't seem to find the trigger I need to relieve it but I'm so close that I try to move at Christopher's pace but he suddenly grabs hold of my waist preventing me from doing so and allows him to hit every sensitive spot he can inside me. he grunts and growls as he tries to reach his release as well. Suddenly everything seems to slow down around me as his last thrust hits deep inside me and I finally feel the heat flow throughout my body as the tightness snaps within me. colors flash behind my eyelids; I can hear shouting coming from the both of us but I can't seem to comprehend what either of us is saying. After what seems like a black out for me my vision starts to focus and I see the stars in the sky; my other senses start to register things as well. The wind blow slightly cooling my hot and sweaty body; I can feel Christopher's weight on me as he holds my hand interlocking our fingers and I can also feel him still inside me. I wonder did he…pass out…?

"Christopher…?" he moves so that I'm able to see his face, "Oh you are awake…"

"Heheh, you were the one who passed out… are you alright? I didn't hurt you too much did I?"

"N-no…actually it was…very…it was wonderful…" I answer honestly. The compliment earns me a light kiss on the forehead. "How long have I…how long have we been here?"

"well…it's easy to say that it's late at night; looking at the moon I'd say it's about one in the morning." O-one in the morning?

"Um…should we head back."

"No…" he clings to me listening to my heartbeat, "I don't want to go back yet…can we stay here at least until morning?"

"Y-you want to stay out here tonight? But what if the others are out looking for us?"

"I would have heard them by now if that were the case…something tells me they already know what's going on…when I ran into Captain earlier he said something that led me to believe he already knew this would happen."

"Knowing him…I don't think I want to know what he told you." I start petting his head when he moves repositioning himself to my side before he pulls me into his chest. He uses his robes to cover us, "Alright I don't really want to head back either to be honest." He smiles down at me before lightly kissing on my eyelids, cheeks then my lips.

"Say Reisaki…I know you are the beast tamer and that you think of all of us as family but…I don't like it when the others cling to you…"

"You mean like what happened back on Jinchu Island?"

"Yes…" moving out from his arms climb on top of him looking down at him smiling, "Riesaki?"

"I do think of them as family I wasn't lying when I said that Christopher and in some sense I think of you as family too but…" I take his hand and place it on my chest, "neither of them make my heart race like this nor would I do what we just did for any of them…at best they're like my brothers…but I love you Christopher… I'm your exclusive mistress." he moves his hand to my back as he sits up, smiling,

"If you say anything else like that I may attack you again…" leaning down he kisses my collarbone. This time however it tickles making me laugh.

…

"Man…it's not fair…" Russell glares at Christopher as he lays on my lap as a wolf as I pet him in his favorite spot.

"How many times are you going to say that?" I ask him.

"Get over it Russell Christopher got to her first so he gets special privileges as her lover…you should know that." Nathan says from across the room. Even though we didn't really tell them anything they all knew where we went and what we did a few days ago. We all relax in our new home placed coincidentally on the outskirts of town.

"Hahahah, You can't stop love Russell." Morgan says, "Although…I wish it was me instead to be honest…I still can't believe that Christopher stole your heart Reisaki."

"It's not fair…!" Russell shouts about to throw a temper tantrum. Everyone is trying to get used to the new bit on information and their taking it like I thought they would.

"Russell if I give you some meat will you stop saying that?" I ask smiling.

"…yes…"

"You spoil Russell too much Reisaki…" Eduardo says sitting at the table as I fetch the dried meat in the pantry.

"I don't mind it!" Thomas says in a happy tone

"You never mind anything runt…" Russell says

"On second thought…Thomas you can have this meat…" I hold it out to Thomas and he takes it happily chowing down on it,

"Hey my meat!"

"It's your fault for being a bully Russell…"

"You really are strict sometimes Reisaki…maybe you should have fallen for me instead." Eduardo comes up to me and is about to touch my cheek when Christopher stands between us and holds me close. He has a smile on his face but it doesn't match his words,

"Eduardo…I'll only say this once: if you touch my mistress I rip you apart…"

I can't believe this is the final chapter…thank you all for sticking with me please leave me your final thoughts on the story…thanks for everything…now I'm gonna go work on another story…
