"Miaka!" Cried a mini yui, as she played on the swing with a mini miaka,
"Yui!" The mini of them selves giggled,
"Let's go get some ice cream!"
"Yeah!"
"Jonan," "you are actually going to jonan," yui walked next to miaka and Bella when she finally enrolled in the school,
"Yes," "my mother won't settle for anything else," Bella turned her heard at that comment to hide her tear's,
"Then me and Bella will go there to!" "Right Bella?" Yui ran around to hug Bella to help her other long time bestfriend sadness, Bella nodded and both of them cheered,
"Well I've been looking out for you ever since kindergarten," "and with Bella here to help we are unstoppable,"
Flashback end
"Miaka,"
said girl opened her eyes to see a vary naked tamahome hovering over her, one this popped inside her mind she pulled outbrass knocked with spikes on them, she pulled them out of no where and started beating the crap out of tamahome,
"You filthy pervert!,"
after a few more punches and a kick in the sweet spot for good measure's, miaka stopped and looked around,
"Where are we?" Tamahome who fallen off the bed and recovered from her beating and said dryly,
"I felt better when I woke up," he pulled himself up and started to look around as well,
"I wonder where chichiri and Bella is," wondered tamahome,
"Why are we both in bed naked?" Asked miaka as she looked at herself,
tamahome was about to answer her, until miakas clutched the sheet's tightly and brought it to her face, the memorie's of yui and her in the shrine of seiryuu came flooding back,
"Miaka?" "What's wrong?" Miaka ignored him and remembered what happened between her and yui in the shrine of seiryuu,
Flashback
"Well of course you don't!" "How would you know the pain I went through when I first came here?" "You tricked me didn't you!" "You didn't come here for me!" "You came back here because you where in love with tamahome!" "You had it easy from the beginning!, and I had the complete opposite!" "You had someone who cared about you!" "You had tamahome and Bella!"
"Let me tell you something miaka!" "I love tamahome more than you do!" "And I'm going to take him for myself!" "For all I care you can rot in here!"
Flashback end
Miaka was brought out of her thoughts by tamahome embracing her,
"Where you thinking about yui?" "Don't worry miaka," "We will get her back somehow," "I promise you," he said comforting, miaka closed her eyes shut afraid to let her tears fall,
"Your wrong tamahome," "yui chose to stay there," "she chose to be our enemy," Miaka removed herself from tamahome's comforting embrace and abruptly announced,
"I'm going back to kuoto," determination laced her voice as she put on a strong face on,
"I have to find out why yui is mad at me," "it can't just be over tamahome," "could she be," miaka tried to wrap the sheet around her and tamahome pulled it right back,
"Woah," "it may escaped your mind we are broth nude," "and we only had one sheet,"
for some odd reason tamahome just got a image of Bella laughing at him inside of his head, his eye brow twitched at the thought, and shook it away, he have to tell her next time he sees her, then again maybe not she mind find it amusing, miaka tried pulling the sheets again and snapped him out of his thoughts Shen she stated,
"I need to go!" He pulled back,
"Oh no you don't," "I like where my privates where they are thank you!" With the image inside of a glares of Bella made him shiver,
"I thought you where a gentelmen," "geez I thought I was wrong!" They continued to play there game of tug a war with the sheet and fight with each other
"Silence!" "We didn't nurse you back to health to hear you to bicker!" When miaka calmed down,
"Taiitsuku?" "So we must be at my taikoku," looking around again she noticed some of the pink bubbled floating around,
"You haven't been here in awhiled," "my annoying one's," "chichiri came here unexpectedly with you to unconscious," "so we had to heal your wound's,"
"We made you bruises go away!" Stated a nyan-nyan cheerfully,
"We mended your clothing as well!," Taiitsuku eye brow stated to twitch in annoyance,
"Here are you clothing!" Chimed Another nyan-nyan, taiitsuku finally took all the annoyance she could take and bursted out,
"Silence will you!" When everyone shuts up,
"Will you let them get dressed and let me speak!" The little girls ran out of the room, giggling, After miaka had finished dressing, she asked chichiri something she was wondering
"Chichiri how did you get to mt taiykoku?" Chichiri took off his mask to revealed a serious face man with a scar acrossed his left eye,
"Well I've been in formal training here for almost three years now," "no da," Tamahome on the other hand was grumbling to himself,
"They could'v given us night cloth's," he was still annoyed that he and miaka was nude in bed together,
meanwhile a little while later
they all gathered in another room in taiitsuku palace,taiitsuku spoke in her raspy voice,
"So miaka," "you want to go back to kuoto?" Miaka got up into taiitsuku face and stated,
"Yes!" "I have to find out what happen to yui three months ago!" Taiitsuku Leaned back and commented sarcastically,
"I see you been practicing your dramatic close up's,"
when miaka realized that she was up in taiitsuku face, she scooted herself away and grumbled out a sorry blushed in embarrassment,
"There is a much better and safer way than marching off into kuoto and asking yui," "fallow me will you," miaka and the others looked at her confused,
"A better way?" Taiitsuku led them into a room with a huge mirror in the middle of the room, miaka and the others and to strain their necks to look up at the huge mirror,
"Wow!" "This is the biggest mirror I have ever seen!" Thought miaka out load as miaka marveled the huge mirror,
"This mirror record's all event's and things that have happened in this world," "and let me see them when I wish," miaka nodded in understanding,
"Like a huge *DVR box* but in a mirror!" Said miaka with out thinking, taiitsuku raised her staff and activated the mirror,
"Show me what happen to yui thee month's ago," ordered taiitsuku, the mirror shone brightly,
and appeared a confused yui, the blond girl walked through the street's and some Ally ways, it was obvious that she was looking for miaka and Bella, and in doing so she ended up in the bad part of the kuoto capital, they all watched as yui walked through the alley ways, until,
"Hey look at that chick," said a gruff man who came out of a narrow pathway,
"Yeah," "look at her cloths there really wearied," said another ugly man,
"That's all right though," "come here girlie!" "I bet you still taste good," yui ran in ran fear,
"Help!" "Miaka!" "Please!" "Where are you!" "Bella!" The two thugs caught up to her and started to rip off her cloths,
"Where going to have you," "girlie!"
"She alittle to noisy," they slapped her acrossed the face and continued to rip off her cloths,
"NO!" "STOP!" "PLEASE!" "NOOOOOO!" "BELLA!" "HELP!" "LET GO!" "AHHHHHH!" "MIAKA!" "WHY WON'T YOU ANSWER ME!" "AHHH!"
Yui's cries could be heard through out the chamber they where in, tamahome averted his eyes and clinched his teeth, chichiri was looking at the mirror he felt pitty and sorrow for yui, miaka was shaking in horror at what she is seeing,
"Stop it!" "TURN IT OFF!" Taiitsuku turned off the mirror All of them looked at a pained miaka,
"I never relized," "why she tried to k-kill her self,... " "YUI,"
Miaka collapsed on the floor as she cried her eyes out, she never would of thought that would of happen to her best friend, miaka cried until,
"Taiitsuku!" Said a nyan-nyan
"What?" Taiitsuku snapped back
"Were is bella?" "Wasn't she with you?" Asked one of the nyan-nyans as she looked up at chichiri,
"Last time I saw her was when she ordered us to take miaka," "no da,"
"What happened to Bella?" Looking at taiitsuku, miaka demanded to know what happened to her cousin,
"Show me what happen to Bella!"
Taiitsuku rolled her eyes and *sighed* and commanded the mirror to do so,
In the huge mirror showed Bella plugging into a burning hut, she came back later with two dead baby's, who she managed to revive,
they saw how she helped the other people, and the konan solder's to fight off kuoto's invaders,
they saw her her traveling to village to village saving people and ordering them to go to the palace, they watched as Bella went in and saved tamahomes family,
tamahome let out a breath of relief that he was holding in, they saw how bravely she fought and saved people then she got shot in the chest, then she killed the person who did it, they heard the guard's shout
lady bella had been shot and poisoned! we need to get her back to the capital to his majesty immediately! time of the essence!,
they watched as they pulled out the arrow and wrapped it up and put her on one of the horses and road off,
meanwhile With yui,
Yui stood with nakago in front of the emperor, which who was talking,
"It is good to hear that you agreed to become the priestess of seiryuu," "it is my wish that you gather the rest of the seiryuu seven," "and summon seiryuu before konan summon's suzaku," "it's such a shame the the shikon miko isn't here," "and the priestess of suzaku managed to escaped," "oh well I let their fate's rest in your hand's, yui bowed in respect,
"I will deal with the suzaku traitor," "and Bella will be joining us soon," the emperor laughed,
"Vary well,"
Yui's eye's went blank of emotion again, nakago was watcher her closely, and wondering what she was thinking,
"It is over miaka," "all that talk about us going to high school together meant nothing to you," "and I considered you as my best friend," "I will make you suffer," "there no turning back no," "you traitor,"
meanwhile With miaka,
Miaka locked herself inside her room while tamahome and chichiri waited outside, the girl felt responsible for everything,
"Oh yui," "I didn't know that happened to you," "I'm so sorry," "only if I could'v heard you," i would'v done something," "I would'v save you," "it's all my fault!" "And now bella is poisoned," "I can't lose her," "she saved so many people," "and she been through so much," with a *sigh*,
meanwhile with Tamahome and chichiri,
Tamahome was worried sick about miaka, "the one he loved with all his heart is suffering and he can't do anything to help," "her friend and her cousin is suffering and she Blames herself," "he knows bella would knock her in the head for blaming herself,"
Tamahome paced back and forth until a up side down taiitsuku came out of no where,
"AHHH!" "Chichiri help me!" "Her face is so scary!"
Taiitsuku face managed to make
poor poor tamahome so scard that he started crying, and pee himself,and enough to cling to chichiri to dear life, chichiri only laughed nervously at his behavior,
"Well I guess after three years," "I'm used to her look's," "no da," taiitsuku closed her eyes in annoyance,
"I'm going to see miaka,"
meanwhile With miaka,
"It's all my fault!"
Thinking she was all alone in her room, she jumped ten feet high and clung to the ceiling when she heard the voice and saw the face of taiitsuku, miaka finally came down from her freak out,
"Miaka you took off your uniform when you went back to your world didn't you?" Miaka nodded and then it clicked in her head,
"You mean when I changed my cloths," "my connection with yui was gone?" "It was all because of my school uniform,?" "So it's the uniforms fault?" Taiitsuku nodded to all except the last one because that was a stupid question,
"Basically," "it was only lady yui's bad luck to run across those people," miaka stood up quickly,
"No!" "I just can't write it off and her bad luck!" "And what about Bella!" "She got poisoned!"
"Be thankful she took off her uniform as well," well what's left of the thing," miaka looked at taiitsuku in confusion,
"What do you mean?"
"If lady Bella did not change her rather tattered uniform," "you and yui would be suffering the same pain she is,"
miaka did not reply and merely looked away in worry for her cousin, she was once again saved by her cousin and now said cousin is suffering, taiitsuku saw that miaka will not reply anymore and took her chance to reply,
"I wish to show you something,"
In a flash, miaka saw that she was floating in the air, at first she started to flap her arms to stay afloat, then she noticed that she was merely floating and overlooking the whole capital of konan, something popped inside her head that she would loved to do in this type of thing,
"Super girl!" Complete pose, miaka *sighed* as she got that out of her system, taiitsuku spoke,
"Got it out of your system now?," so we can move along?" Miaka *sighed* in content and nodded, before hearing taiitsuku voice again,
"Look below you," miaka did what she was told, she saw hotohori sitting on a railing, look like he hasn't eaten a good meal in weeks, and looking worried,
"Your highness," "please get some rest," "you haven't eaten in days," "i'm worried about bella, and miaka as you are," "but please the pup's are worry'd about you," hotohori smiled slightly,
"My kingdom is being attacked," "and I cannot help but not to worry about Bella and miaka," "those pup's of bella's are wonderful kid's"
"it's really a miracle that there was so many survivors from the villages in the border," "I was sure that we would have lost almost half of the army, "and almost no survivors," miaka cringed at hearing he was worried about Bella,
"Don't worry sire," "tamahome and chichiri went with them," "they will be back in no time," hotohori grinned at that,
"Hmm," "I'm sure your right," "and knowing miaka she'll be bright and chearful and hungry as ever," "and as for Bella," he was cut off by a solder who was running out of breath and kneeled on his knee's,
"Your majesty!" "Come quickly it's the lady Bella!" "She's been shot and poisoned!" Hotohori shot to his feel and fallowed the solder to Bella's room,
meanwhile With hotohori,
Hotohori heard the news his heart sunk, he them ordered to take him to his Bella at once, he didn't catch what he said neither did anyone else,
he dashed through the halls of his palace leaving nuriko and his advisors behind,when he finally reached bella room, he didn't knock he just invited himself him, the slight of Bella struck him nearly made him fall over,
Bella was on the bed, sweating panting in pain, she was so pale, she wore a simple white kimono, she must of healed the arrow wound, the doctors must of put blankets over her to keep her warm, the palace doctors were scattering around trying to figure out what to do, getting towels and water, he could see the uneven rise and fall of her chest and the shallow breathing,
Hotohori neared Bella's slightly paled form,his own face was a wreck, "he couldn't understand why this girl could make him lose control in a blink of a eye," he gently brushed a stray hair from her beautiful face,
hotohori eyes harden at the high temperature of bella,the mere thought of someone wanting to poison Bella made him want to hunt down and want to kill all the people who sent them to do this to her, he turned his head and glared at the solder, the one who lead him here,
"Report now!" The solder stiffen and was about to pee himself from the emperor command, he can tell he was ferrous, decided to get it over with and not to lose his and and so he can stop getting the glare of death the emperor finally found love, With a large gulp, and he started to tell what happen,
"The lady Bella appeared in the village that was being attacked by kuoto solders," "she had helped," "and save'd all the villager's," "and fought along side us men!" "She had been instructing us to save all the villagers," "and telling us where the villagers to go," "she had managed to drive out all the kuoto army," "she was like suzaku herself the way she was fighting," "like a real goddess sent to us from the heaven's," "and after the last village she tried relaxed a bit before we came back here," "that's when she got shot by a kuoto assassin," "after she finished screaming she shot one of her purifying arrows and turned the man to ash," "and now here we are," the solder took a huge breath of air, hotohori gripped Bella's hand,
"Tell the servants to provide food and shelter for the villagers," "you may now take your leave," "and thank you!" The man was relived and lifted in a flash,
hotohori looked at Bella, "so your the miracle why we had so many people survivor kuoto wrath?" "really," "you never stop surprising me do you angel," he stroked her check gently,
Bella opened her groggy eyes, her eyes finally adjusted to the light of the room and looked around and noticed she was back in her room at the palace and them her eyes landed on hotohori and smiled a tired smile,
"Hey there hotohori,"
hotohori frowned at that, she shouldn't be talking she should be resting, he voice was scratchy it must be from her ordered she was yelling,
"You should get more rest," Bella giggled,
"How many times do i have to tell you," "I will heal in a snap," "I'll be up and going In no time you'll see," Bella sat up be for he could say anything,
"Seeeee?" "I'm all good!" Bella said teasingly,
even thought she felt like she has vampire venom flowing in her veins but even though it's not but it hurts like crazy,she knows she can't heal it properly she even consulted with midariko in her mind what ever is in the poison it's difficult to rid herself of it,instead she watched hotohori stare at her, he held her like she would brake like some doll,
Bella smiled softly and placed her hand on his check, he leaned into her touch and let out a much needed *sigh*, it was her turn now to frown,
"Hotohori?" The emperor looked at her brown eyes,
"Yes?"
"Have you been eating and sleeping properly?" "Have you even eaten or slept at all?" He *sighed* and scooted a tad bit closer to Bella, the doctor in charge bowed to hotohori,
"Your majesty,"' "we have given her Medicine that she need's," "she is recovering quite well," "and she will need her rest," hotohori nodded and not even looking at the healer, the healer thought of idea to get the emperor to eat and sleep snickering in his head,
"Sire," "If I may say so," "you have not eaten or slept properly," "I think it might do you quite well to have food and rest," the healer bowed and lifted the room while snickering in his head,
Hotohori cringed and his back stiffen in horror that he been ratted out, he turned slowly to see the anger in Bella eyes,and he stated,
"It is not my health is to be worrying about it is your's!" He just cringed at what he just said, he might as well signed his own death warrant,
Bella looked at hotohori, "what nerve," "had he to say that,"
so she acted on impulse, Bella grabbed hotohori by the ear and started to give him the ear full he will never forget, while snickering evilly,
"Now you are going to Listen to me right now mister I'm to sexy to sleep and eat," she yanked on his ear,
"last time I check you can't heal yourself in a snap," "now can you," "and you need to worry about your health because I tell you to," "do I make my self clear,"
she yanked his ear a few more times and smacked him in the head and *huffed*, she saw the hurt look and softened her look and apologized and cupped his face with both of her hands to make him look at her,
"Look I didn't mean to get mean," "it just I worry about you," "I really don't care on what happen's to me," hotohori smiled and overlapped his hands with hers,
"You silly silly girl," bella looked on in confusion,
"Pardon me?" Hotohori pulled her flush against his chest, Bella was shocked but it was welcomed she inhaled the scent of hotohori which relaxed her,
"I may not have eaten or slept in a few days," Bella tried to lift her head,
"Few days!" He pushed her head back against his chest gently and continued,
"But I was concerned on how you where doing,"
"Oh I see this is my fought," Bella stated sarcastically against his chest,
"Bella," his warning in his voice meant he was being serious,bella snickered and wrapped her hand's around him as well, and a thought so vary miroku though's crossed her mind,
"damn he has a nice butt," then she forgot about it before she thought about grabbing it, she snickered again,
"It was a joke sir," hotohori chuckled
"Please don't call me sir," "it makes me feel old," Bella pulled away from the ever so wonderful embrace and looked at his face,
"You let nuriko and the others call you that," "why not me?" Hotohori lifted her chin and stated,
"It is necessary for protocol," "you how ever are not subjected to it," Bella in her position in his lap asked,
"what about my dear cousin,?" miaka with a smirk, Hotohori caught on, so he decide to play along as well,
"Well of course she isn't subjected to it," "she is after all the priestess of suzaku," Bella playing the jealous one,
"*Humph* of course I would!" "I thought I was more special than that," "after all i'm the all might shikon miko," bella pouted crossed her arms and stuck her nose in the air,
"You are special," "your my shikion miko," Bella blushed and was speechless at this, She got out of his lap and patted her lap,
"come you will sleep," "even if I have to knock you out," "and when you wake your food will be here," hotohori looked at her like she crazy, she *huffed* unladylike,
"Your going to sleep even if I have to grab you ear again," "and you are going to eat even if I have to tie you to a chair and sit on you to feed you," "if you do it I will sleep as well," "so now come here,"
he chuckled gave in plus it gave him and excuse to be near her more and laid down on her lap and tried to get comfortable position,she laid a blanked on him and on her shoulders,
Bella looked down at hotohori handsome face as he drifted off,he looks like a kid like this curled all up I'm a ball it to cute,she started to stroke his beautiful hair,
"Why dose all you men have better hair than mine," she pouted,
"but I have to admit that Edward and the male vampires did have nice hair," "along with sesshomaru and inu yaha," she was brought out of her thoughts and didn't relized that she was thinking out load when she felt a hand around her wrist, with those amber eyes starring right back up at her,
"How in the world am I supposed to sleep with you talking about other men that have better hair than Mine," bella look at him blankly,
his grip tighten to make her answer, she couldnt take it anymore, he looked to freaking cute he hugged him, and laughed at his cute look, and said,
"my ex was a evil bitch haha, "and seshomaru showed me how to fight everything," and he adopted me and blood bonded with me hahaa," "and you lord hotohori has the fairest hair in all the kingdom's," "you out shine all men of konan and anywhere else," "
"I know this all ready,"
Bella taped his nose affectively shutting him up, and started to stroke his hair again and they were fast asleep,
After a half hour or so the healer came back to check to see if it plan worked and it did, he saw the emperor fast asleep on lady bella lap with his arms around her waist, lady Bella was fast asleep her hand on her head and one on his check, the healer prayed to the gods to let these to get together they work together properly the whole palace hope they do and the do know the their lord had feeling for the young lady,
mean while Chichiri miaka and tamahome,
Miaka and tamahome and chichiri walked towards the palace, while they saw huge crowds of villager's being given food by the palace staff,miaka made a promise to herself as priestess of suzaku she will save these people,
Tamahome saw four familiar faces running full forced straight for him,
"Onii-San onii-San," while doggie piling on him, overcome by the shock being on the ground and relized who it was and hugged his brothers and sisters tightly,
"Chuei, gyokurun , yuiren,shunkei,!" "Are you guys alright?" Yuiren got on her brothers back,
"Bella née- chan saved us!" Shunkei grabbed his leg,
"She beat those bad men who tried to harm us!" "She helped us and saved us!" "She even put dad over her shoulder!" Gyokurun was running to tamahome,
"Bella née-chan!" "Swooped right in to save dad and beat up the mean guy!" "You should of seen it she was sooo cool!" Tamahome laughed at that,
"Hahahahahaha," "though the day I would be saying this would be the day hell gates froze over when I say she was cool Hahahahaha," they all laughed again, he never heard this much laughter ever since he could Remember, chuei tugged at his sleeve,
"Father will want to see you," tamahome nodded, he remember the scene from the mirror when he watched as his father was about to be killed and saw Bella swoop in to save him in the nick of time, he made a mental note to thank bella when he sees her,tamahome was led away by his brothers and sisters, miaka and chichiri only watched as he left,
She changed things completely, no da, commented chichiri, miaka looked at his and asked
"What do you mean?"
"The priestess of the shikon," "she changes a lot but it was for the better," "no da," "she made sure that konan had the victory instead of kuoto," "she loves this country to let it fall at the hands of kuoto," "and I think she starting to fall for someone," "and her soul mate is here as well," "that's what lady midariko said," Miaka *sighed* and looked away and spoke,
"Bella deserved the happiness," "she had nothing but sadness the last few year's," "even when she was growing up," "I Remember her taking care of mother more than her herself," "but her father did care," "but once she lost all of her family and friend's," "and the only people she has left was me and my brother and the volturi and the cullen's," "and I'm guessing this midariko lady," "and those demon kid's and the two demon cat's,"
"I just try to figure out why Bella continue to save me," "but She would knock me in the head to remind me," "Then I noticed how selfish I was being," "when Bella risked her life to save people and me constantly even at home," "even with my mother she would even defend me for the risk of my mother's rath," "now my mother's gone now," "but Bella just a strong selfless person," "she always been like that," "she would do anything to help someone in need," "even when we where kids she would try help,
they continued to walk toward's the palace, "chichiri known about Bella's hardships," "but no one never told him what made her more of the person she was and more insight," "he felt sad for Bella now knowing that she lost as much as he did," "and went through the same heart brake he did," "but for some odd reason he feel's there might be more that had happened to her," he *sighed* and turned to see tamahome running up to them, miaka smiled at the sight of him,
"Hey you two don't leave with out me! Wait up!" They continued to go towards the palace, when she was at taiitsuku palace she had to let tamahome go to get yui back, it was the hardest sacrifice to make but she hope it would work,
"You guys know something?" "That Bella is really a miracle," "she had my father looked at by the palace doctors and got the best medicine for him," "he even starting to regain straight and to walk again!" They congratulated him and went strait to the palace,
They made it to the throne room and thought to be grated by hotohori but only to see shippo shiori and rin,along with dios and kiarra playing, they were playing with the old advisers of the emperor, it was quite amusing to see the old guy hopping around with hyper demond's,
just when shiori and rin noticed everyone and rin told shippo that aunt miaka was back, he stopped playing and ran towards miaka and jumped onto her shoulder while shiori and rin sat on hotohori throne,
"Oh your back auntie miaka!" "Mama and hotohori are napping right now," "you will have to wait to see them later," he said politely ,while shiori and rin and the others agreed, and the nekkos *mew* their agreement, tamahome started to get annoyed by getting ignored, chichiri laughed nervously and said
"i'll just going and wait over there" "with the adviser's and shiori and rin the two nekko's," "no da,"
"Oh miaka!" Came nuriko flamboyantly, while waving his hand,
crazy as ever for my cousin nuriko," said miaka,
"Stupid as ever miaka," said nuriko while they jumped up and down in joy, and left to go to another room and left tamahome
"Did you meet up with your friend?"
"Well yeah but that's a long story," their voices trailed off, tamahome started to twitch in annoyance,
"Of all the-," well sort of,
meanwhile With hotohori and Bella,
"Hotohori?" "Are you awake sleeping beauty?" Said person opened his eyes before they focus, someone was hovering over him, as the blurring person came clear, he smiled at the person,
"Did you sleep well?" Asked hotohori, sitting up next to the person, Bella nodded and smiled,
"Well I can't feel my legs," "other than that I slept quite well," "How did you sleep?" Hotohori smiled apologizing,
"The best I ever had," "As for your leg's may I carry you?" Bella blushed furiously and shook her head even though it was sooooo temping,
"N-no that's ok," "kami he such a charmer,"
"Nonsense," with out warning he pick her up bridle style,
"he was amazed on how light she was,He looked down at the blushing Bella," "he hadn't realized how delicate she was," "she was only 17 for haven's sake's," Bella looked up at him as saw he was deep in thought, like he was disgusted by touching her,
"You know if you don't wan't to carry me," "you can put me down ya know," "I'm all good," he was snapped out of his musings and smiled down to her,
"I wouldn't be doing something I didn't like," "Besides I owe it to you," "and you light as a feather," her hurt was gone, she blushed again at his charming ways,
Hotohori saw her blushing and it made his male pride go up, So he thought he would try something before he make's his move fully, he started to lean in for her lips,
Bella licked her dry lips and waited for something she been waiting for a good while, for him to do, he was about to kiss her untill he pulled back up, he smirked at it he now knows he can make a move, Bella growled and huffed at his playfulness,
Bella mutter under her breath, "evil sexy man playing evil," "your such a tease," hotohori did his best not to snicker at her annoyed looked but he continued anyways,
"Oh my how vary gentileman like," *huffed* Bella,
Hotohori made it to his chambers and sat down again with out not letting go of bella,
He nuzzled her check and she calmed down, he smelled her hair and ran his fingers through it, and hit tilted her chin up and his amber eyes met her sparkling brown ones, he went in and kissed her passionately,
To be to continued,
