Some steamy exchange ;)

Keep reading!

19.

Xelha and I walk out the tea room, then we bump into a dark figure approaching us in the hallway.

"My sincere apologies Madame Xelha and Elysa." the voice says as it moves out of the way.

I squint my eyes trying to see who the figure is, but I'm sure I know who it might be, but late hour surrounded the house; unable to see without light.

Xelha eagerly grabs the unlit candle off the wall. "Fire Burst!" she yells as a flash of light lit the candle spontaneously.

The figure apears from the darkness, It's only Luther. Go figure.

"Oh, it's you Luther." she says, "No please, its okay, we can go to the room from here, Luther." The blonde grabs my hand to lead us to her room, "Thank you Luther, goodnight."

Luther bows his head down and goes to his room. The blonde places the candle back on the wall carefully.

"It would be wise to light all the candles in the hall." she says while walking in the middle of the hallway. There appeared to be five candles on the wall including the one already lit.

"Yeah, it could be dangerous." I add, "But can you get them all at once?"

She pulls out four light flare Magnus', "Fire Burst!" she yells as all four candles are instantly lit, and light fills the dark hallway.

Xelha directs me to her room, opening the door to her room to find Savyna laying on Gibari's lap on the floor against the wall, both of them asleep with Gibari's paddle's leaning against the dresser. Kalas is laying on the bed on his stomach fast asleep with Meemai against his side snuggling with him.. He's a silent sleeper.

I turn to Xelha and my mouth is in a wide smile, I couldn't help but be awed at all of them.

"Aww" I whisper, "It looks like they all fell asleep while waiting for us to come back.

Xelha smiles too, she creeps over to Kalas and slowly gets on the bed, she waves over for me to come over. I slowly creep over to the bed and I stop when I reach the end of the bed where Kalas was laying. I look down at his head and run my hands over his bright blue hair, trying not to move the two bands.

"He's such a quiet sleeper… He looks like he's exhausted." I smile looking down at him, I always knew how innocent his face was, but I couldn't help but not look at him, smiling, and he doesn't look like a complete douche when he's sleeping.

Who am I kidding. He's a sexy bastard.

Xelha nods her head, "Yeah, he's always been exhausted since those fights we had to encounter, even though we are fairly strong, especially him, Gibari and Savyna." She scoots closer to Kalas's back and lays beside him, "I'm kind of tired myself. You should go get some rest, Elysa." she whispers.

My eyes filled with a burning sensation.

"I will," I start walking backwards towards the door, "Goodnight."

As I pivot turn around to leave the room I trip over Gibari's foot and land face first onto the tiled floor.

"OWCH!" I yell as Gibari jumps up from his sleep causing Savyna to wake up shortly after. Xelha gasps and Kalas also awakes from his sleep.

"Damn!" Gibari yells, "What happened!?" he says while rubbing his head.

"What's wrong, is everything alright?" Savyna says looking around in sight for danger, but just realizing it was only me.

I haven't been more embarrassed in my life, and Kalas just saw me fall. I'm not getting up.

"Yeah, Everything's just great!" I open my eyes and push my body away from the floor to see a puddle of my own blood where my face had landed. I run my hand across my face to find blood all over my fingertips slowly dripping on the floor. I was a mess.

"Uhh, are you alright?" Gibari gets up to help me up, "Whoa…. Uh, Xelha?" Gibari brings me over to the bed, I cover my face so no one can see blood on my face.

"I'm right on it Gibari." Xelha hope off the bed, "Are you alright Elysa? You took quite a fall."

"I'm fine can I just get myself cleaned up, now?" I say.

I wanted to leave the room as soon as possible, good think Kalas wasn't really focused on what happened.

"What's going on?" Kalas rubs his eyes yawning and looks my way.

Spoke too soon.

Kalas points his finger at my and laughs in a mocking way, "Elysa, what happened to you? I guess we should have been watching you instead this time." He chuckles, "no worries, I'll help ya out."

Xelha steps in front of Kalas, "No Kalas, you get some sleep, I'll take care of it." She grabs my hand and starts pulling me in the direction of the bathroom, I slowly resist.

"I… actually wouldn't mind him doing it." I whisper, but she didn't hear me, so we end up going into the bathroom.

Savyna gets up from the floor and looks at the puddle of blood, "I'll clean up this mess on the ground." She kneels down and freezes; closing her eyes.

Gibari walks over to her, "Hey.. Savyna, what's wrong?" He crouches down to get on her level, "Hard time cleaning this blood when you don't gotta cloth." He hands her a cloth off Xelha's dresser probably left by Luther.

Savyna looks up at Gibari, "It's just… so hard.. Seeing blood, even today."

Gibari comforts Savyna, "It's all right, lemme get that for ya." He wipes up the blood with ease and throws it in a pail. "That ought a do it!" He chuckles.

I sit on the counter in the bathroom, "Make this quick please Xelha!"

I try wiping as much blood as possible, but it keeps coming down from my nose. I look down to notice my skirt is covered with blood and parts of my top, these are the only clothes I have and they are drenched in blood.

"This will be quick," She bows her head down and closes her eyes, "Cast great healing upon the injured and wounded….. Save those lost in their sorrow. Oh mighty ocean… seal away the pain to walk on these grounds pain-free."

I look around to see floating glowing particles and bright lights around my eyes, "Xelha, what's going on?!"

I start elevating from the counter, "XELHA!" I yell till my tonsils wave like a punching bag, I felt like my body was 50 pounds lighter and I felt drowsy as my eyes started to lower.

Kalas busts open the bathroom door, "…What are you doing, Xelha?!"

Xelha looks back at him, "It's a old simple spell the royal family of Wazn know, it's a spell that stops bleeding and injuries.. It always seems to do the trick."

I slowly float back onto the counter to look at my face in the mirror. The bleeding had stopped and my nose didn't hurt anymore; I was astonished.

"I-It's gone! The pain, the bleeding, wow." I fix my hair and push it back out of my face, "Thank you, Xelha."

Kalas comes over to me and laughs at me holding his stomach.

"You're a mess!" He grabs my hand and pulls me close to him, I blush as I fly into his chest, "Are you okay… you kinda did took quite a trip."

I don't want to let go, I don't want him to let go of me. Even though he is making fun of me.

"I-I'm fine now all thanks to Xelha." I put my hand around his body and grip him tight, I can feel his winglet and analyze the unique design.

"Were you worried?" I say to him softly.

"Well yeah, when I wake up to see you covered in blood, I thought someone had a battle with you - that I missed!" He laughs, and I join him, rolling my eyes from his stupid comments.

I've missed that sense of humour from him.

I open my eyes to look at Xelha, she's standing there awkwardly as Kalas and I are holding each other. Aside from my wants and beliefs, She has the power to send me right back to my boring plain world, and she is the one who summoned me here, so I have to keep my distance while I'm near her.. I know she's been trying to get with him till now.

I pull away from Kalas, though I didn't seem to want to, it killed me a little inside.

I sigh, "I'm going to bed now, goodnight you two." I quickly walk out the bathroom before Kalas and Xelha could say anything. I see Gibari getting his paddle and Savyna at the bedroom door.

"You guys headin' home?" I ask the two of them. Gibari puts his paddle on his back, "Yeah, its real late, we gotta head back."

I look at the clock, 4:58AM, My eyes widen, "Wow, we had a party didn't we." I say.

Gibari laughs, "Ain't that right." He walks over to Savyna, "Well night, tell those two night."

I chuckle, "Ok," I walk over to them and hug both Gibari and Savyna, "I better see you both tomorrow" I say.

"We shouldn't be too busy, we will try stopping by some time later in the day." Savyna tells me.

Gibari holds Savyna's hand and opens the door, "Later guys."

"Bye!" I walk out the bedroom door shortly after Gibari and Savyna, I look back in the room to see Xelha and Kalas aren't out the bathroom yet, and I wonder what they're doing.

I look at the alarm clock again, 5:00am, It's definitely time to go to sleep.

20.

Leaving Kalas and Xelha's bedroom made my mind go on a marathon, but I can't bother to think about that. I look down to see my soiled skirt from my own blood, I couldn't go out dressed like this tomorrow, I have to find new clothes. I enter my room, the scenery still gets me every time I walk in. I go straight for the bathroom, the water drawn is still hot with steam arising; perfect, a hot bath is exactly what I need.

I remove my clothes and slowly descend my foot in the water, then my other foot. The water is the perfect temperature, I lay my whole body down in the tub, feeling as my whole body relaxes. I pick up the bubble bath and start adding bubbles in, the whole tub fills with white little bubbles, I pick some up and blow them. I feel the stress relieving from my body the longer I relax in the tub, I would sleep in it if it were safe.

"No way!" I squeal, "They really have the mountain apple wine!"

There was a bottle of Mountain Apple Wine waiting to be popped open and a soaked woman to drink it. I pop it open with the bottle opener, and pour it and watch the cup slowly fill up with pink transparent wine. The look of it was good, but the taste of it was even better. Oh, how I love it here.

I look at the water and the water transitioned from clear to a musty grey, probably because I haven't bathed all day and I've been in filth like a pig. I get up from the tub and unplug the water, I feel much better and clean. I put on my tank top and tights I was wearing when I first came here; I have nothing else to wear. My hair turned curly because of the humidity of the room. I comb out my curls and put my hair into a high bun, tossing my other clothes into the nearest bin.

Looking at my bed I see paradise, I've been up and running all day, I deserve a long rest. I place my wine on the dresser and snuggle into the sheets, and the candles give off a good amount of light in the room. I look at the clock; 5:19am, time is flying past me, but I could have sworn I was in the bath for longer than nineteen minutes. I close my eyes and start thinking of Kalas, if he'll ever end up knowing how I feel about him, how much I have to say to him still, I just want to be with him, Like a couple like any other.

Why do I even like Kalas? I didn't know blue haired boys were my type apparently, but judging a book by its cover doesn't get you anywhere but disappointed. He is a very good looking teen with a wild personality, but he's also protective, kind hearted and ambitious.. And one of a kind. It's weird….

I suddenly hear the door creak and faint footsteps, I go under my sheets but keep my head out enough to see the door frame. Someone is entering my room but I don't know who.

"Who's there?!" I say hostile.

"Oh, you're up." a voice said.

The light from the candles lit slowly shined on to the figures face. It's Kalas! He comes up to my bed, I sit up on the bed.

"What are you doing up, aren't you tired?" I whisper, "You scared me!" I hit him on the arm playfully.

He's wearing no shirt and shorts. He's built nicely, and very toned. Get memorized, then snap out of it.

Kalas snickers, "Cut it out, I didn't mean to ya know." He smiles.

I can barely see him from where he's standing from the dim candle light, but he still looks as handsome as ever.

"I guess I should improve on my stealth mode." he comments.

I roll my eyes, "Come, join me on the bed."

He comes on the bed and lays on the other side of me facing me, I turn around to him and lay down facing in his direction. I loved everything about him, and his face, I fall in a state every time.

"So why'd you decide to join me tonight, huh?" I question him.

"Well, to tell ya the truth, I've been waiting a long time to be reunited with you," He looks into my eyes, "I'm not going to sit in bed wasting the time you have here, I don't know how long you'll be here for. So I thought, what the hell." He pauses. "I didn't really care if you were up or not, I was going to wake you."

My mouth drops open, "Really now?!" I raise my voice, then calm down.

I have a warm feeling inside my heart though.

"I feel the same way, Kalas… back when we were in the forest, I wanted to say so many things, but my mouth has a limit on things I can say to you."

"What do you mean?"

"I… don't know." I pause, "Anyway, tell me about what's been going on since I left?"

Well you see it's because of Xelha.

"Not a whole lot, I wasn't acting like my usual self, according to everyone.. I didn't know what, but something was missing, and until I found it, I wasn't feeling right…"Kalas turns on his back and puts his hands under his head looking at the ceiling, "Now I realize that something maybe was you, cause I feel much better."

"I realized that too." I smile really wide, covering my mouth, and biting the flesh on my fingers.

"I told Trill I liked her, because I thought that it was my childhood best friend that could fill my gap.. She was shocked to find out I said that, but then told me she's too busy with her career to get involved."

"…So, you thought you liked her but you really don't?"

"Yeah.." He looks at me, "I want to know more about you.. And your world, Elysa." the blue haired asked.

I sit up on the bed, "Well, where do I start." I pause, "I come from a planet called Earth... I live with my mom and brothers but they aren't home.. I'm just a regular girl, barely passing school.. I got a lame boring life."

Kalas sits up, "Why?" He looks surprised, "Is that what saving our world did to you that whole time?"

I nod. It's whatever now, because I could care less.

"Yeah it's cool though, I also stopped because when we departed I started feeling a bit like how you were feeling, I just rarely left my house, I barely moved, I felt unmotivated, I felt so empty inside, Kalas."

Kalas stays quiet. I like the moments when we just talk, his presence just makes me exalted.

"My life is a mess, Kalas." I start tearing, but I don't know if he can see. If he can't see me, he'll definetly hear it in my voice. " I didn't meet you, I don't know what would become of my life."

Yeah, he can hear it.

Kalas comes closer to me and I fall into his arms, into his chest. He can probably feel my warm tears on his body, his body is so soft, and he smells like smoke from firewood. I cry in his arms, and I don't want to let go.

"Hey, it's okay, Elysa. I'm here for you now, hang in there, for me? Okay partner?" He holds me tighter, then slowly pulls me off him to stare in my eyes, "You can't cry, you've been strong with us from that whole, and its okay now." he pauses, "but why did you summon me back in the Shrine of the Spirits that night?"

"I…thought I was playing a game." I admit, "didn't take me too long to realize it wasn't a game."

He raises his eyebrow, "I see." he pauses, "I guess you were following your heart."

I loved the moment we were sharing...but then i blurt it out.

"What's the deal with you and Xelha?" I don't know if I was being too obvious, but I had to ask.

"Huh?" he says confused, "Nothing… we're friends, but we did argue earlier after you left in her room." he says.

"Yeah… why is that?"

"Asking too many questions, I guess you can say that."

I sigh, "What's that all about."

"Um…" He looks at me with those eyes, those eyes. His eyes lower and his face comes closer, he pulls his hands in so I can pull forward, I pull inches closer to his lips… I start going closer, putting my hand on his neck gently.

Then I realize… I can't.

I quickly let go of his hand's and fly off the bed, falling onto the floor and backing up into the dresser, hitting my head on the handle.

"OUCH!" I yell, "Not again" I rub my head, "I can't I-I can't do it!" I tell him while trying to regain focus.

Kalas gets up off the bed, "W- What's the matter?!" he comes off the bed and stands in front of me.

I bounce up and pace back and forth, "Kalas, you have no Idea how much I want to, no fucking clue, but Xelha is in there and if she wanted to, she could take me away from-"

I pause, and think to myself, fuck. I don't think he knows she likes him.

Kalas raises his eyebrow, I know he's confused, what the fuck am I rambling about.

He walks past me and opens the door, each step he took towards the door my heart weakened, because I was about to kiss him, and I've been wanting to be with him for too long for him to walk away from me.

I chase after Kalas as he's inches away from his doorway which is beside Xelha's room, I don't say anything, I let my body do the talking. I get close enough behind him without him seeing me and take his hand quickly, before he can turn around, I have him in my embrace, I take one arm and have it around his neck and the other under his arm. So quick to notice that he is embracing me back. His soft hands hold me and it turns me on. I push him into the wall in a sexual way; the candles on the wall shake and the pictures shake slightly.

"You're not leaving that easy." I whisper in his ear.

Kalas looked at me with a fright look which had me confused. I was trying to go in for the kill, but something in his facial expression said he didn't want to. His body then slightly resisted mine.

I slowly let go of him as my face expression drops. I realize maybe I thought something more was becoming of us...

"I'm…. sorry but I thought you wanted to-" I stop myself, "I'm such an idiot!" I bounce off him and quickly try going back to my room.

I'm such a fool! I made the biggest fool out of myself, its clear he doesn't like me like that. What could be more embarrassing!

"Elysa…" He calls out to me.

I turn back with two streaks of water down both my eyes and a sour look on my face wiping the tears off my face as we are a number of feet away from each other.

"Kalas, leave me please." I demand.

"No, Elysa I…" he slowly walks over to me. He slowly starts glowing faintly, but I ignore it.

He looks at me, "To be honest, I've never done… that before."

My eyes bold, in shock, "…a ki-" before I can finish saying the word 'kiss', he cuts me off.

"Hey, keep it down!" he whispers, "yeah… I've never" he clears his throat, "have." he admits while rubbing the back of his head, not looking at me.

I could tell he was embarrassed. I thought it was cute that he hasn't kissed anyone, but its something I'm not as shocked about either. Kalas has been though a lot when he was young, I'm sure he hasn't had time to focus on involvement.. He has so much anger, I just want to ease it. The closest thing to involvement he's had was tracking down Giacomo.

"Don't be embarrassed, Kalas.." I walk closer to him, "that's nothing to worry about, its so understandable seeing how much you've been though."

"Yeah… your right." he says, "Well...I'm glad you understand, Elysa."

"Of course Kalas," I say.

My hands start to get clammy, and I start fiddling with my fingers as I prepare to ask him the question I've been waiting for.

"….To get this out of the dark, you do like me… like that?" I shut my eyes scared for the answer.

Please say yes, please say yes, please say yes!

…

There was a few seconds of pausing. It felt like forever.

He sighed, "Hm… yeah, obviously." he says under his breath, but loud enough for me to catch. "I thought even you'd know that by now."

If I could do a back flip, I would. Emotions filled to the top of my capacity level, I felt so great, but I had a hunch he liked me.. I just needed to make sure.

"Oh," I blush, "I like you too… a lot." I say awkwardly.

It's like a teenage moment from movies, we have a silence that felt forever, but was really a few seconds.. But what is really running through my head is 'what now?'

"But you must know Kalas…" I start rubbing my foot against the top of my other foot with my hands behind my back like a nervous school girl.

"Xelha….. She likes you too…" I squint my eyes. I wasn't supposed to tell him, but it would be wise so he can be cautious.

Kalas' mouth drops open, "What?"

"Yeah.. Don't you remember she told you before she gave the ocean to the world?"

"I didn't know that's what she meant!" Kalas slaps his hand on his forehead. "How stupid of me! Now I feel terrible.. I don't wanna hurt her."

"Me either, Kalas." I tell him. "Lets worry about this later."

I walk closer up to Kalas and we hold hands.

"Now that that's out the way, I'll be your first." I whisper quietly. "I want the best for you Kalas, I want you to feel happy for once, you've been though a lot.. I've got to connect with you on another level, which is probably why I think I like you so much.. Cause I would have never thought I'd fall for someone like you." I vent to him.
He looks down at me, not saying a word.

"You don't trust… do you?" I ask.

He doesn't answer again.

"I know you don't Kalas. Your whole life has been disappointments, and you've been left to fight for yourself.. I want you to know that I'm not going to leave… I won't leave you. I can't leave you! I know what you had to go through, and I'm here for you.. even though you are an idiot, I can't lose you. It's like my body won't let me, even if I tried."

He runs his fingers across my jaw.

"Kalas, I…." I'm speechless from his touch.

He takes my hand and he takes me back into my room as he shuts the door and walks up to me, my body freezes. The lighting in the room looks just right on him, the sun is starting to rise a bit, he looks so handsome. Though he still hasn't said a word to me, I don't really expect him to, it's a touchy subject.

"Shut up, already." He says as he wraps his arms around my body.

I wrap them around his neck, our nose touches, his breath faintly comes across my lips.

Why is this happening? If anyone came back from the future to tell me I'd fall inlove with him, I'd laugh in their face.

But this is different..

It's what love does.

"I won't….ever leave you." he whispers sweet words into my ears.

My lips press against his as we kiss passionately. It's like our body's were one, I felt everything he was feeling, all his pain from the passing's of his dear loved ones, the stress all those battles did for him, I felt it… and I knew what he was going though. I don't know what become of me, hop up and I wrap my legs around his body, he holds me up and we continue to kiss, he walks over to the bed and puts me on the bed, I open my eyes slightly and see Kalas has a light glow around his body, but I ignore it. He comes on top of my body and I put my arms around his back; he kisses me again.

WARNING: MILD SEX SCENE

and again..and again.

His hands slowly go under my top grabbing my breasts as he kisses my neck next. It felt amazing and I couldn't believe this was happening.

He started to get aggressive. His wings came out uncontrollably as we were being passionate. I've never felt these feelings before. I looked at his face; he was slightly sweating and glowing, I wanted more.

"Please" I whisper, "I want it."

*wink*

I wanted it so bad. My body couldn't resist any longer.

He quickly pulled my pants off and I laid in my underwear. I was so turned on. He was on his knees over my body. I sat up and undid his shorts to see he wanted it as much as I did. I threw them off the bed.

I can't believe this is going to happen.

"Have you ever..." I say.

He smirked and did a slight soft laugh. "Take your top off." he said in a sexy raspy voice.

God. I took it off. Now I was wearing only my underwear. I was a little self concious of my boobs so I held them in my arms. He slowly moved them aside and smirked.

"You are beautiful" he said to me, "don't be shy."

He dove into my body and slowly licked and sucked my breasts. He then moved to my nipples and slowly and softly bit them making me more excited for the intercourse. I couldn't help but moan slightly. He moved his free hand down my stomach and to my private area, he slipped his hand in my panties and slowly started to rub my private 'sensitive spot'. It felt amazing, I started moaning louder and louder trying to stop myself from making too much noise. He stopped sucking my breasts and started to kiss me with his tongue.

His hands started going faster on my private area, I was as wet as a waterfall. I felt his penis on my leg, it was hard. (and big too!) I felt like pulling it out myself and sticking it in me.

"Stop!" I whispered. I felt like I was going to climax any second.

He smirked. God he was so sexy.

He did stop, and got off the bed and stood right beside it, turning my body to face him while I was still laying down. He got on his knees on the floor and started to lick my 'special area'. My eyes rolled back, I almost wanted to squeeze his head with my legs. He knew what he was doing that's for sure. I started to bite my hands, then I reached for the pillow to bite because it was easier. I tried to say his name but the words were barely coming out my mouth.

He slowly came up before I could climax and gave me a smile. I pulled him on the bed as he got on his knees and I sat up to face his crotch. I pulled down his boxers to finally be greeted to his wonderful 'little friend'. He pushed me down on the bed again and started to rub his penis on my private spot.

He was such a tease! It was almost driving me crazy.

"I want it." I said.

"what was that?" he said, "tell me like you need it..."

"please!" I begged, "I want you inside me!"

He slowly put the tip of his penis inside.

Before I could get the whole thing we heard footsteps and talking.

He quickly got off me and put back on his boxers and shorts. I quickly put back on my clothes and hopped in the covers.
At this point I was beyond uncomfortable to go back to sleep. He laied beside me. We stopped talking and listened in the hallway who it could be.

"I will start preparing breakfast for you shortly madame Xelha." we heard a muffled voice say in the hallway.

I turned to Kalas, "It's Luther..." I whispered.

I quickly realized that the sun was already rising. We haven't slept all night, and I was very ticked off.

"Yeah," he whispered, "I guess we can't continue."

I felt very saddened, but I knew he was right.

"Let's just get some sleep..." he said to me. "Goodnight."

He kissed my forehead and turned the opposite direction.

I still couldn't believe that happened...I was so close.

I blacked out.
