Chapter 24

His Sun and His Stars

I lightly caressed the skin of the man next to me inhaling his scent as he never smelt as strong to me as he did now. In his grasp you couldn't tell me that my body wasn't completely synchronized with his as I felt like an attachment, a piece, a section….a very living-breathing part of him.

Every breath he took was mine and every beat of his heart stringed mine closely behind his as I felt like I had finally been entwined with my very own fate and destiny.

Tell me you love me.

I nudged my head slowly, looking up at him as I gazed longingly at his face. I admired the structure of his jawline adding much feature to his cheekbones as I smiled realizing a small secret.

He turned his head looking down at me as his eyes met mine and my heart skipped a beat.

I got caught ogling...

"This is the fourth time, what is it now?"

…Again

I blushed. Have I really been caught looking at him so many times? He didn't seem annoyed though, instead he seemed to be somewhat enjoying my company, even if I was looking too much.

"You can dye your hair, but you can't get the blonde off your lashes."

"…You're right."

I smiled as I looked properly they were actually long but not thick so it made it so hard to notice them. Plus the color of them wasn't helping.

"I want to see you're blonde."

"That's impossible. "

"Why?"

"It's part of disguise to cloak myself in the public." Must be in regards to him being notoriously tracked by the doves.

"But it makes you stands out."

"How?"

I laughed softly to myself did he really ask how? "Uta, you're very tall, you're covered in tattoos you have an unorthodox hairstyle and covered in piercings. Plus, your choice of clothes is western and you have an intriguing presence and with all your physical indifferences you have a hidden beauty." I said this all in a mouthful as it was only a few seconds afterwards I realized everything I had just said and how hard he was staring.

"So you like my tattoos."

I blinked. Of alllllllll the things I just said the tattoos stood out. Okay well at least I didn't have to worry about him teasing me about calling him handsome.

"Hmmm, yeah."

"Precious Kaisa, on our first date, I told you I wanted to do your back, do you remember?"

I blushed. So now he gives me an adorable name and he is bringing up our first date. This was sort of…different…and cute…the name calling made him romantic.

"Your being romantic…are you trying to win me over and bed me?"

"There is nothing to win if I already have you, and you are also already in my bed."

"W-well I am on your bed…we haven't had sex."

"I can change that in twenty minutes."

"You will not." I said but it was more of an order as I gave him a serious look which slowly perished as he sat up a little resting his head in his hand. Oh no.

"Kaisa, are you daring me to fuck you?"

I went red, completely red. "Manners!" I said flicking his nose as he barely twitched. "Wh-What about your manners, d-don't say it so ….rudely…" this last word came out as a whisper. It was embarrassing hearing him say it out loud.

He pouted, "My apologies."

I looked at him I hated when he pout, he shouldn't; he gets cuter in so many ways.

"But what if I am…what can you do?"

He turned in the bed looming over me as he boxed me in underneath him as he looked into my eyes, "I can win that dare, but…do you remember what I told you on our first date, regarding tattoos."

I paused giving it a thought he was quite adamant about me remembering so it must be something important. "You, you wanted to do my back."

"What do you think of that?"

"I can't let you just tattoo my back like that, I mean that is sort of…I never had one before."

"So do you want a small one somewhere else for now?"

"You're marking my body. What do I get in return?"

He smirked. I was turning the wheels in his head.

"What do you want?"

I rose up looking up at him as I wrapped my hand around his neck looking into his eyes. "Everything."

"Everything?"

"Everything in and of you."

"Kaisa must I remind you who you are speaking to."

"No need. I'm fully aware."

He looked at me as his finger rested under my chin tilting my head up as I looked into his eyes. This side of Uta made me shiver a little.

"I am not what you see."

"Yes. Yes you are. Because I know….well I can feel you. Your thoughts and emotions…I mean….I am seriously yours just as you are mine. You're more than what I see…"

"Kaisa, what would you do if I ate someone before you."

I paused. I never really, thought of that. "I would…watch."

"Would you watch me kill them before I eat them?"

I got scared. "I-It's your way of living."

"I love killing…and eating people. When I find my meal I like to have the fingers and the eyes and sometimes I take souvenirs if I enjoy it. I rather to play with them and watch them slowly die, watch them turn to nothing and then, have them beg me to take them out their misery. It doesn't feel like killing by the end, I feel like I did them a favor; show them the true picture of pain and desperation. I don't do it to eat. I do it because I love doing it. It doesn't make me do it for survival, I'm doing it because I love torturing and killing them. Eating only becomes important when I starve and when it comes to that feeding on my own kind isn't a problem."

I looked at him my blood running cold as I stared into his eyes. You don't do it to eat, you do it for fun. Which means you would murder someone because you want to?

"Why are you doing? Making me scared of you- you think I'm going to get up and run home after discovering you're murderously adventurous in your lifestyle?"

He looked at me as I could see his expression change to curiosity.

"If you're going to make me afraid d-do a better job."

What the holy fuck was I saying I was scared shitless right now if Uta was like this it didn't make him a man of a different kind he was now a man of a different world. These are the people you call 'cannibals', 'murderers' and 'insane'. I felt like the chain around my neck that strangled me with the truth that I was affiliated with a target has just evolved to chains tying me to a sinking anchor in the deep cold depths of the ocean sinking, all by realizing he was more than just a target, he was the game himself.

Momentarily I realized that maybe…maybe Uta knows more of what is really going on.

"Uta…wh-what's really happening to me…to the people around me." I asked looking at him as I couldn't regret him, us- no fucking way. If he was mad then I was mad too if he was a murderer then I was a partner in crime. I just don't want to watch him…kill.

"You're being hunted."

"I thought it was target."

"Hunted."

"Aumm….is it the Aogiri Tree"

"Yes."

"Well…are they going to kill me?"

"They are trying to. That's why I protect you." He moved to my side as I turned my back to him I needed to process this. When it was coming from him it was different. I felt his body against my back as I pulled the sheets to my nose inhaling the scent.

Wait, did he just say that's why he protects me?

"You protect me…how?"

"I kill for you. I follow you everywhere you go, I watch you day and night and I ensure that you're completely…safe."

His finger travelled down my back drawing small lines and circles as I knew he was thinking of what he wanted there. I turned in the sheets to face him as I looked into his eyes blushing.

"You killed that ghoul."

"I've killed many ghouls"

"You killed the ghoul that came to my apartment."

"I've killed many ghouls that have come to your apartment."

My breath got caught in my throat. Was this confession and correction he was giving me in one?

I looked at him. How many times exactly has he…protected me?

"You killed that ghoul at my apartment last night." I said roughly how much further was he going to push his vague games?

"Which one."

I looked at him. He wasn't joking. He wasn't even bluffing.

"How many ghouls did you kill…last night?" my lips trembled as I eyes watered. You had to be joking he risked his life for me last night? What if he died? How many nights were there like last night?

"Eight. He was trying to get away." He said as he touched my cheeks his way of comforting me as even if he wasn't a man of many words he was a man of many- many actions.

"Did you, get hurt?"

"No."

I snuggled into him wrapping my arms around him as I buried my face in his chest hiding my tears. "Lies, you got hurt."

"I didn't."

"Lies…." I felt like a child and a kicked puppy in one.

"I didn't." he said again as I blushed sniffling as I looked up to him feeling him pull my hair back so he could face me. "I feel hurt. The only ones that died are them, why are you crying for them?"

"I'm crying for you."

Baka Uta, I'm wasting my tears on you, I never knew this the entire time.

"But I'm okay."

I wiped my tears looking up at him. At this point I feel like he has seen it all. I don't have anything in the closet to keep myself as mysterious as I wanted to be so he would wander into my presence curiously. Instead now that he has seen me cry a lot of times and I felt a little weak. I haven't seen him show much emotion at all compared to what I have placed on the table.

"You- you can't even walk me home." I said cracking a smile as it was true. He couldn't, he shouldn't and I wouldn't let him if it meant risking my life.

"That's why you should stay." He mumbled as he pulled me close and kissed my forehead.

"What would I sleep in?" I asked playing along.

"My arms."

I laughed covering my mouth I was not going to sleep half naked like this I loved him but not enough to spend another 2 hours like this with him.

This was Uta we were taking about. He already had me locked in against him.

"What would I eat?"

"Isn't that where humanities clever idea of having food taken to their house occurs?"

"You mean home delivery?"

"Yes."

"But my love-"

"Yes darling?"

I smiled blushing. He certainly loved role playing and this was something new that I was going to completely enjoy.

"Ravish me."

He smirked as my heart skipped a beat did I really have to put my literal pride on the line to get the true colors out of this man. I liked it but I didn't but that thought was quickly killed as his lips met mine and he pulled me onto him body as he pulled the sheets up.

I was no match for his agility or his flexibity. Uta's kisses were deep and passionate. It went three different ways. It was either slow and deep where his lips felt so soft and his tongue entered my mouth like the water washing up gently on the shores of a beach, just meeting my tongue with slow passion, twirling, tasting and gently teasing mine which made my knees feel weak and encouraged me to melt soft and quick in his hands like heated butter.

Then, there was the other which made me feel like I wanted to be thrown against the wall and fucked. Basically. His body felt strong and hard against mine I could feel the urge he had to completely take me. I love the way his skin felt hot and how rough he was with everything he did and how he held me. His kisses were hot and filled with desire and raw lust.

The third was now which was my first time feeling him kiss me like this, it was a mix of both. It felt passionate and deep but I could feel his urge and desire pouring into me. On his body I could feel his arousal not to mention his hand groping my rear and squeezing it. It felt so damn good but this was in no way helping my needy and sexually frustrated body that wanted more of what he was doing.

I tried to break the kiss blushing madly as I pulled away looking at his moist lips with my breath hot and heavy and hands gripping his shoulders.

"…Uta…" It came out as a soft whisper which I never wanted it to be. It only gave me away letting him know I really wanted this.

He sat up meeting my lips as I moaned softly in the kiss feeling him rub our sexes against each other as my hips involuntary moved with his grinds cause I had to admit, it felt wickedly good.

I ran my fingers through his hair undoing his ponytail as I laced my finger through it as they dominantly danced in his hair.

"D-Don't." He mumbled reaching for my hand stopping my teasing fingers.

"Why?" I asked softly as I blushed a little embarrassed, did I do something bad?

"It's stimulating, when you do that in my hair…Kaisa shouldn't touch- or she'll turn me on more than I already am."

I blinked. Wait.

Wait.

What the Fuck.

Wait!

Was this…a weakness?

Oh fuck yes Kaisa you dropped on the landmine. Finally I had something over him and I felt so superior. But somewhat this liable information felt like a warning. A warning that made good sense as to why he stopped me.

Damn you Uta I finally have something over you and him restricted. No- no way in hell.

"But I don't want to stop." I said to him as my fingers continued moving as I tugged on his hair and leaned to his neck leaving soft love bites to mark my property. I trailed over his skin feeling him tense a little as once I went close to his ears I felt him take a sharp breath.

This day could not get any better.

It could not get….any fucking better.

My kisses turned into licks and bites as I listen to his breathing learning what he like and favored. Even if he was a ghoul; he was still a man.

"Bite harder." He mumbled softly in my ears as I knew he liked it and I couldn't help but smile this was the rare and sexual side of him that I was having fun exploring. I bit him harder as I felt his hands moved to the sheets and watched him grip them, he was thoroughly enjoying himself. And so was I.

I left him with kisses and a few light marks that didn't last long as his skin returned to normal almost as if there wasn't a shade of red before.

I slipped my tongue between his lips kissing him passionately as I pulled away looking at him as I kissed him again pulling away leading him to me as I slowly fell back in the bed our tongues entangled in a heated kiss.

My entire body was reacting to his as I gasped and moaned softly in the kiss it was absolutely what I needed after such a long period of not having him.

His hands moved to my thighs gripping them as he broke our kiss and began lathering my neck and chest with kisses. My fingers played in his hair as I heard him groan softly when I would tug it out of pleasure or frustration as his kisses felt hot and wet and be frightened or shocked if I say it felt like he was licking and tasting me- and hell- I didn't mind it.

"Uta." I looked at him as he paused holding my wrist as he slid my hand out his hair and to his face as I watched him lick from my wrist over my palms to my finger as he slipped it in his mouth as his eyes were on me the entire time.

I blushed looking at him as I felt him begin to suck as his teeth lightly grazed my skin. A soft whimpering moan escaped was he eating or teasing me!

I pulled my finger away from him as I trailed my hand down his body as I looked at the amazing work of art before me of sculpted muscles and bones and amazing physique. He was naked before me and I'm surprised I'm not losing blood. How the hell am I surviving this?

"Oh…you're aroused."

I looked at him as I realized what he said and blushed. "S-So are you." I wouldn't dare to look down he has pulled me out the moment almost completely and threw me in front a naked crowd.

"Do you want it to happen now?"

I nodded. Yes I really really really really REALLY want it to happen now!

He smiled as he leaned over and pecked my lips. "We're going to have to postpone. Itori's here." He said as he looked to the window most likely sensing her presence. Ghouls were that good.

"Oh…"

"Don't be sad. We can start and make her wait in the living room until we're done."

I went crimson.

"Are you mad?!"

"Yes."

I looked at him as I got even redder. Fuck the crowd. He threw me naked in front an entire nation- now I was completely out the mood.

Damn you Uta.
