A/N: This chapter, to me, is a little weird. Hope you guys like it though. Please review and i'll update again when i can.

-Zapphirra-

The demon Katsume had told to escort me to the part of the Northern woods wasn't much of a talker, but that was alright. I was too nervous thinking about what I'd do when I saw Raiden again to really focus on a conversation if it was started anyways.

"Here we are."

The demon said as he stopped walking and I looked up from the ground to see us standing just outside the edge of a clearing.

"Pass through this clearing and follow the trail until you see the small house."

He said and I nodded at him.

"Thanks, tell Katsume I said thanks as well."

I said and the demon bowed to me before turning and walking away, leaving me to myself.

I sighed as I turned and looked at the mass of trees around me. A small part of me wanted to turn around and go in the opposite direction, but a bigger part of me wanted to follow that demon's instructions so I could see Raiden again. Thankfully, the bigger part won out and i walked across the clearing infront of me and started walking along the trail almost hidden by the trees themselves.

It didn't take long for the house the demon had mentioned showed up as the trees thinned out. It was a small, stone cottage with what looked like a straw-covered roof. It had a patch of ivy growing on one side and I could see a garden growing behind it full of herbs and plants I'd never seen before. There was a watermill attached to the side of the house slowly rotating as the river filled up the little slots and moved the wheel.

'He's probably not even home.'

I thought until I saw the lighto n in one of the little windows and saw his shadow.

'He's probably busy, I shouldn't disturb him.'

I thought and started to turn around to walk away when the wind picked up and blew my hair around. I sighed to myself and turned back to face the cottage. I wanted to see him, but I was afraid he wouldn't want to see me.

The wind picked up again and I stumbled forward from the force of it.

"Fine! I'll go, just stop pushing!"

I snapped at it, feeling a little stupid for yelling at the wind, but it stopped as soon as I'd said that. I sighed before straightening out my clothes and going up to the dark purple colored door of the cottage and took a deep breath before reaching up and knocking a couple of times.

I wound up holding my breath as I heard noises from inside and footsteps as they got closer to the door. I could hear my heart beating in my ears and felt my hands start to clam up as the door opened and Raiden stood in the doorway. Seeing him made my heart leap and i felt like crying I was so happy.

I saw his lilac colored eyes widen ins hock when he finally realized who I was and i smiled sheepishly at him.

"Hi Raiden."

I sid and he just stared at me, as if not really believe it was me.

After a while i was a little hurt he still hadn't said anything in response and would have thought him to be a statue had i not seen him breathing.

"Really Raiden, two months since we last saw each other and when you finally see me again all you can do is stare at me?"

I asked and he blinked a couple of times before I felt his arms snake their way around my waist and pull me to him before he tilted my head up and kissed me.

I smiled into the kiss before kissing him back. It was like the whole world had fallen away. The two suns, the ravenous demons, the fucked up animals, all of it gone. it was only me and Raiden.

He pulled back to breathe and rest his forehead against mine and smiled.

"I can't believe you're really here."

He said and I smiled at him as I wrapped my arms around his neck.

"I missed you Raiden."

I said quietly and he smiled down at me again before leaning down and kissing me. I shivered from both the kiss and the wind that suddenly picked up and I mentally cursed Katsume for putting me in a skirt.

-Raiden-

I noticed Zapphirra shivered and wrapped my arms around her before teleporting us inside my house, away from the sometimes rather chilly wind. I let go of her and she looked at the whtie couch next to us questioningly and I nodded once before sitting down with her.

I couldn't believe she was here. all the tiems I'd wanted to go back to see her but talked myself out of it. It had made the past two months absolute hell, but she was here now and I couldn't believe it. However, despite how happy I was that she was here I still couldn't be completely happy because I knew she'd have to leave.

"How'd you get here?"

I asked, finally realizing I had no idea how she could have gotten here.

"Better yet, why are you here?"

I asked. No matter how glad I was she was here she still didn't belong here.

-Zapphirra-

I stared at Raiden in shock. I couldn't believe he'd just said that.

"Why I'm here?"

I asked, raising my voice slightly.

"I came to see you Raiden!"

I snapped at him and noticed he flinched.

"I can't believe this. Here I am, finally having realized how i feel about you and get my friend, who I find out is a Sorceress, to open a portal to bring me here so I could see you only to be dropped in the middle of a forest. Do you have any idea what I've gone through to get here!?"

I snapped at him angrily.

"I had to deal with fucked up demosn deciding it'd be funt o attack me, sleeping in a cave full of wolves-not that I minded, i love wolves-ran into a weird ass mix between a cow and an armadillo, met Kouhai's guardian gale, found out Hikaru had pionted me in the wrong direction and wound up in the Western Province only to be captured by a rather rude demon general, brought before Daiki, sent in the right direction, captured again once I was in the Northern Province, carried like a sac of potatoes, locked in a dungeon for two or three days before getting backhanded after having already been slapped by the blue haired demon general for Katsume, put in a skirt and escorted here where I'd been trying to go in the first place only for you to act like you couldn't fucking care less!"

I said angrily as I stood up and glared at him.

"If that's how you're gonna act then you can just open a portal to my dimension and send me-"

I blinked in shock when he suddendly stood up, grabbed my hip and yanking me towards him before pressing his lips against mine, cutting me off.

"It's not that I don't want you here or don't feel the same; I love you Zapphirra, but I don't want to make you choose between me and your friends and family in your own dimension."

He said when he pulled away and I blushed in embarrassment for going off on him and felt my heart nearly leap out of my chest at his words.

I smiled up at him and felt tears in my eyes before wrapping my arms around his neck and pulling his head down for a kiss.

"It wouldn't make any difference Raiden, I want to be with you."

I said as I pulled back and stared up into his eyes.

"I love you."
