Keitaro and Naru had returned back to the Hinata apartments, not to long after their whole ordeal with being trapped in the pit. But it had all became clear to them as the got some fresh air into their lungs and they took the time to lay under the stars out the back of the apartment, taking in what had happened to them. They had come across another one of those stones that Onyx had spoken about, and they established that the pit must have been Sapphire's home, or something along those lines. The two of them lay there, beside the hot springs and rested after their whole ordeal, the heat of the springs radiating out and being cast across them through the air as they did. Kitsune had gone out for the night, and wouldn't be back until early the next morning. All the other residents had taken off for a while too. But for the night, it was just Keitaro and Naru. Keitaro was continually fighting off the thoughts that kept flying at him, one assault of lust after another. After what had happened down the pit, Keitaro was sure Naru would have ignored him for good, but for some reason she acted as thought it didn't happen. Keitaro just brushed off the fact Naru had ignored the incident where he lost control and followed what his body craved and continued to enjoy the presence of her by his side as he lay there in a state of comfort and total relaxation.

Naru lay beside him, she too thinking about what was going on around them, but also to about Keitaro's actions. She knew that he was a guy, and thus wanted more from Naru than what she was giving him. But she also knew that Keitaro was a gentleman and so would not want to do anything that would hurt her own feelings, no matter what sacrifice he took. She remembered how it felt, being alone in the pit with Keitaro, not knowing what was going on. And then the sensation that she felt when he kissed her. She recalled the thrill that shot down her body, the amazing feeling of passion that she had never experienced before. And she remembered how disappointed she had been when the ring on the ground broke up the feeling, as though the flow of love they had started was sliced in half by reality. She her body shook from remembering the feeling she had as she once again returned to the brief moment of pleasure.

Keitaro felt her shaking beside him and rolled onto his side, facing Naru and the springs. His right side felt the cool breeze of the air rushing by him and throwing away the warm air the surounded his as he moved. He put his arm around her, his hand placed strongly on her back in an attempt to ease the though of whatever thoughts she was having. Little did he realise that his actions were doing the exact opposite. Naru's body felt a jolt of energy run through it as keitaro's hand made its way to her back. Her thoughts of the event were now inturupted and vanished into the air around her. But as she returned to the real world, she realised that she had the real thing right beside her. She began to crave that feeling she had as she thought about it more and more. He mind, driven crazy from the thought of it happening to her again. She began to fight off the thoughts much like keitaro, not wanting to hurt her love's feelings by doing something he had clearly been fighting not to do himself. She realised that she had been uneasy while she was remembering the moment and that is why Keiaro had placed his arm around her. The tension in her body quickly calmed down as she realised that there was no battle against lust to fight, Keitaro had already defeated it for the both of them. Naru turned to her love and placed her arm over him too, the wind passing away the aura of warmth that they had built up from the springs only to be replaced by the warmth of one another as they lay there. Naru's mind slowly began to drift off again, not to the lust and passion from down in the pit, but this time to thinking about the comfort she always felt around keitaro. How even when they werent dating, Keitaro still done his best to make sure that Naru was fine and safe. He was always looking out for her and keeping her happy. And once again after the two had been accepted into Tokyo University and started dating, keitaro still done his best to make sure she was doing well at all times. She slowly began working up herself to take the two of them back to that moment where they were in the pit, with the passion they created bouncing off the walls and falling right back into them. She began to move in to kiss keitaro. Only to be stopped by Keitaro and an inconviently timed decision to head inside.

"Its getting cold out here now, we had better head in before you get sick." She sat up, oblivious to Naru's thoughts and intentions. Naru sat up, brushing off the breif moment of dissapointment to the realisation that once again Keitaro was looking out for what was best for her. The two headed inside and stood in the hall that lead into the main living room.

"You know Keitaro, i dont think i've even check the time to see how long we were down there in that pit for." Naru said, trying to lighten the mood a little from the long silences that they had just experienced from processing everything that was going on. The two walked into the living room and looked at the clock on the wall.

"Only 11pm?" Keitaro questioned with shock as he turned to Naru who appeared to have the same reaction.

"We couldn't have been down there for more than an hour or two." Naru added, shocked also by the time. While they were down in the darkness, it was like an eternity for the two of them. They had both expected it to be much later than what time they had recieved and were amazed that they still had so much time on their hands to rest up and recover before the other girls returned home. Both of them decided to call it a night and sleep off what damage had been done to them from the whole ordeal.

After a short amount of time in their own rooms, Keitaro drifted off to sleep. His body was exhausted from all the damage it had taken throughout the night and needed a good rest to repair the engines. Naru however was not so fast to sleep. She sat in her room, looking at the hole the seperated the rooms of her and the man she was starting to crave more and more. There was a time once when the thought of going down that hole scared and revolted her, but as she came to terms with her feelings for Keitaro, traveling down there became more and more tempting. She couldnt ignore the thoughts of that moment in time and the way she felt any more. She finally gathered together all her strength and made her way to the board the covered the hole. Her mind no longer cared if it wasn't what Keitaro wanted for her, she wanted it for herself, and she knew he craved physical intamasy even more than she did. In her view, this was the best thing for the both of them. She quietly slid the cover off the hole and gently lowered herself down. As she did, her top got caught on one of the small pointed sides of the hole and got caught. She only realised this when she was too far down to be able to pull herself back up. She tried to reach over to the caught clothing with one hand, keeping the other holding on to prevent herself from falling and waking keitaro. She took a swipe at the caught area, trying to set it free. She missed the side, not quite getting the distance she needed, causing her whole body to swing from the momentum. Her shirt now being pulled up to under her arms as she hung from the roof. She made one more swing at the shirt, succesfully pulling it of the edge it had so desperatly held on to. As her arm lowered from the swing, her focus was let down for just a moment, and she lost the grip her right hand had on the other side, causing her to fall straight onto the floor below, right next to the sleeping keitaro. Naru quickly got up and checked to see if the impact of her fall had awoken the sleeping Keitaro. Though the fall didnt cause much noise, she did hit the ground hard, and feared it may have disturbed keitaro. She let out a sigh as she saw him still sleeping soundly. Naru proceded to adjust her clothes from where they had been twisted awkwardly from getting hooked and then knelt down beside the sleeping keitaro. Slowly and gently she lay herself beside her sleeping love, until his sleeping self and her were face to face laying beside each other. Naru smiled as she began to feel the same feeling the she had before run through her. She wrapped her arms around Keitaro and drew him close, until she could feel his heart beating against her chest. Keitaro was so exhausted from the excitment he did not awake through any of the events that were going on around him. He was laying there, asleep and oblivious to the fact that Naru was lying right beside him in his own bed. An event that Keitaro had dreams about happeneing to him on many occasions. Naru then proceded to kiss Keitaro on the cheek before closing here eyes and just enjoying the feeling she got from being with keitaro and the feeling she had from his warming presence pressing up against her body as she held him close. Slowly the rhythm of Keitaro's beating heart sent Naru into a light sleep, as she lay there in a trance from her emotions running wild, ignoring everything else in the world outside of the room.
