Authors Note:This is a Lemon-story!**Gasp**It's my first attempt,but I really like it so I hope you will too.I tend to stay away from Lemony-words,like clit and cum,or manhood (shaking head),and more or less focus on the passion involved.This is a romantic story between Kishuu Arashi and Sorata Arisugawa. I take a few creative liberties understandably.Hell,it's my story!!!If you're offended by this stuff,or are under the age of 18 DON"T READ THIS!!!But like a little notice like this is REALLY gonna stop you if you aren't.But don't say I didn't warn ya if you get caught!(You delinquent!) ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ PS-There is a little bit of swearing at the end. *************************************************************************** You'll need to know a little X background to read this one,especially about Sorata and Arashi.I suggest hitting my shrine at http://members.tripod.com/~SailorElysion/ to read up about the two.This story doesn't have a set time period,but it's after Kotori is murdered.I don't know of Sora has his own place or not,but he does here. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- A kekkai is the "psychic barrier" that they talk so much about in the English version. +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Enigma eternally rocks the Universe!!! ___________________________________________________________________________ -*X:Ai*- Arashi leaned back into Sorata's arms. The smell of incense was thick in the air, and the candles around them were almost burned out.Somewhere in the background the radio was on.Enigma probably...Arashi listened, trying to make out the melody.Sounded like the third album. She absent mindedly traced the muscles on Sora's chest with her finger. "Sora."she said finally,breaking the silence between them. "Hmmm?"he mumbled, half-awake. "What do you think the others will say?" "About what?" "About us."she said softly. He opened one eye and looked down at her smiling."Do they really need to know?" She closed her eyes and lay her head on his chest,listening to his heartbeat. "No,I suppose not.Not right away anyways.But sooner or later,no matter how careful we are,they will find out." "Then we'll just have to cross that bridge when we come to it.Besides what will it matter?We're both on the same side aren't we.It'd be different if it were like you and Fuuma." "I suppose you're right."she sighed and looked up at him smiling.He smiled back and pulled her closer,until they were both embraced in a passionate kiss. ****** Arashi stepped into the sunshine and squinted at the brightness. Sora locked the door and stepped out behind her,wrapping his arms about her shoulders.She lay her hand on his and turned a little to face him. "Where are you off to today?"he asked,resting his forehead against hers. "Princess Hinoto requested my presence today.I'm not sure why though. What about you?" "I think I'm gonna follow Kamui around,just to bug him." Arashi smiled slightly and kissed him lightly on the lips. "Until tonight."she whispered,then turned on her heel and walked down the street.Sorata watched her go until she was out of sight,then wandered off towards the Togakushi Temple.He let his thoughts wander back to the night before.He had never felt so completely close to anyone in his entire life, nor had anyone made him feel so complete,yet so vunerable at the same time. Arashi definately was the "one". ****** Arashi stood in the elevator,waiting out the ride that would take her to Princess Hinoto's chambers.She blushed slightly thinking about Sorata, but quickly pushed her emotions beside,not wanting the Princess to sense anything unusual about her.The door clinged open and Arashi stepped into the main room.She bowed in respect to the Princess who sat facing her, smiling slightly.Sohi and Hien,her loyal servants sat beside her,heads bowed as always. "Arashi."Hinoto spoke without speaking."It is good to see you again." "You as well Princess."Arashi kneeled down before her,sitting with her legs tucked beneath her. "You know that there has been no movement by the Dragon's of Earth lately." "Yes I noticed Princess." "Kamui may be in danger.You must watch him carefully." "I will Princess.In fact Sorata has taken it upon himself to follow Kamui and see that he is protected at all times." "Ahh yes.The amusing southern boy.Can he be trusted?" "Sorata would lay down his life for Kamui."Arashi said quickly.She was a little shocked at the Princess's mistrust. "Do not be alarmed at my statements.I was just asking for your opinion." Arashi nodded."I understand.Forgive me for being rude." "Do not trouble yourself with apologies."Hinoto smiled."You seem distracted today." Arashi coughed slightly.Sohi and Hien looked at her with suspicion out of corners of their eyes.Arashi waved it off,trying not to smile. "It's nothing that you should be concerned with Princess.I just...didn't get a lot of sleep last night." Hinoto smiled but tried to hide it."I hope you get better sleep tonight." Arashi bowed in thanks and left quickly.She sighed with relief when the elevator doors clanged shut.The Princess knew,she knew everything.Even still, she was glad nothing was mentioned of it.And she trusted Princess Hinoto not to say anything of it to the others. ****** Sora greeted Arashi at the doors to his apartment,she took his hand as he unlocked the door and went inside. "How was Kamui today?"Arashi asked from the kitchen. "Better.He still pretty broken up though....about Kotori and Fuuma and all."Sora replied,looking over the edge of his newspaper. "So how did it go?"he asked once they had sat down for dinner. "Princess Hinoto asked me to keep an eye on Kamui.And I think she knows about us." Sora almost choked on his ramen. "How?"he finally managed to cough."Wait.Don't answer that.She's the Dreaming Princess.Knows all sees all.Hmmm...sees all..." Sora laughed,trying to lighten the situation. "Sora,"Arashi tried not to laugh herself."This isn't funny." "I know."he lowered his head,but still kept staring at her. "What is it?"she asked concerned. "Do you know how beautiful you are by candlelight?" "Sora,there aren't any candles on the table." "No,but I wasn't talking about dinner candles." Arashi dropped her head slightly,trying to hide the fact that she was blushing.He stood from the table and stretched.She stood and began to clear away the dishes when he suddenly grabbed her wrist.She looked up in surprise, but her expression softened at the tenderness in his eyes. "That can wait for a little while can't it?" She nodded and set the dishes back on the table.He took her hands in his and led her backwards into the bedroom.He flipped on the radio,allowing the music of Enigma to spill into the room.She wrapped her arms around his neck and kissed him passionately.He returned her kiss as she carefully pulled down his jacket and undid the buttons on his shirt.He pulled at the collar and then pulled away from their kiss laughing slightly. "What's so funny?"she asked pulling away as well. "You forgot about by tie." "Oh."she smiled and carefully untied the silk blue tie from around his neck.He took the tie from her and tossed it aside. "Now,where were we?" "Right here."she whispered,taking his hand into hers and putting it to her chest.He reached up under her shirt and carefully undid her bra while she ran her hands over his chest. "Sora."she moaned,leaning into him.Mad with passion at the fact that he was still undressing her. "I'm going as quickly as I can."he laughed slightly. "Not too fast."she breathed. "Make up your mind." She giggled and pushed him back into a chair,then crossed the room undoing her bra and removing her fuku.He stared at her for a moment,enjoying the sight of her. "Well,are you gonna stare at me or sample the goods?"she asked exasperated. "Clean-up in aisle 10." "Sora!"she exclaimed throwing her shirt at him.He dodged it laughing. "I believe I'm ready to become a regular customer." Arashi shook her head."You're unbearable." "But that's what you love about me." She grinned and crossed the room so that she was standing in front of him.He smiled up at her from the chair,then wrapped his arms about her waist and pulled her down so that she was sitting in his lap.He could barely stand the heat of her body pressed against his,or the way her face shone in the moonlight filtering in from the window. "God but you are beautiful."he whispered,stroking back her hair. "Sora-"she started to say,but he covered her mouth with his,kissing her lightly before she pushed herself onto him,causing him to kiss her more deeply.She opened her mouth slightly and allowed him to slide his tongue into hers.She welcomed it,allowing it to roll inside her mouth before returning it with equal passion.He carefully stood,holding her in his arms for a moment before carrying her to the bed.He could see her smiling at him in the darkness,the moonlight casting shadows over her body. He sat down next to her,hugging her with such ferocity that he felt he would die if he ever let go.She gently wrapped her hand around his and guided his hand to her breast. "Kiss me Sora." He obligied,rolling her nipple with one hand while kissing the small nape between her neck and her shoulders.She wrapped her hand around his head and pushed him into her.He caught her meaning and moved downwards so that he could suckle her.A breathy moan escaped her lips as she arched her back, hoping somehow that the pleasure would last forever. Sora gently rolled her nipple around in his mouth,rolling the other with his hand.She took his hand and moved it down her hips until it found her inner thigh.Her muscles tightened at his touch,she tried to stifle the moan that was now clawing it's way up her throat but only half succeeded. "Arashi."Sora whispered. "What?"her head rolled back as his hand gently brushed her. "What about Hinoto?" "Who cares."she answered. She sat up once more,reaching downwards to undo his pants.He took her arms and wrapped them about his chest,pulling her closer to him so that her breasts were pressed against him.She ran her hands down his back,pausing for a moment to run her finger slowly down his spine,sending shivers through his arms. Once he finally managed to undo his pants she allowed him to push her back down onto the bed. "Take me."she tried to sound serious,but the heat in her voice gave her away. "Gladly."he smiled,taking her hips into his hands and pushing himself in.She moaned loudly as her rubbed up against her,inside her.She wrapped her legs about his hips,pulling him farther into her until she couldn't take anymore.He gently rocked back and forth,with Arashi's gentle movements guiding him.And when they reached the climax,calling out each other's names at the same moment,the world around them dissolved into nothing but the sense of each other. ****** "I have a present for you." Arashi turned and tried not to smile at Sorata as he handed her a single red rose.Kamui looked at them both with a weird expression but said nothing. "So."Sora clapped his hand on Kamui's shoulder."What shall we do today?" Kamui turned slightly,but didn't face either of them. "Actually Sora,I want to be alone for a while." Sora took his hand from Kamui's shoulder and let it drop to his side. "I'd like to leave you alone,but the Princess...." "The Princess is a fool,and so are you for sticking around." The three turned in shock,only to come face to face with Fuuma and a massive army of Men in Black. "Fuuma!!"Kamui shouted in surprise.He didn't know what to feel,anger or pain. Fuuma only sneered at his once friend,and now enemy. "Kamui....I will give you this last chance to surrender yourself before anyone else has any....mishaps." Kamui replied by sending a blast of energy at Fuuma,who deftly jumped away. The Men in Black surrounded the trio,blocking off any chance for escape.Sora leaned over to Arashi,"Curse Zombies?"he whispered.Arashi lifted her hands, forming a diamond with her fingers and looked through it. "Yes."she whispered in reply. "Then you know what to do?" "Yes." Arashi lifted her hands before her chest,a slight humming filled the air as her kekkai began to form.She closed her eyes,allowing the energy to wash over her. "Arashi!!" She opened her eyes as the call of alarm rang out,but it was too late.A curse zombie slammed into her,knocking her to the ground and pinning her there.She managed to turn her head slightly and saw that Sora and Kamui were busy with battles of their own.She tried to knock the man of off her,but to no avail. Her mind was still screaming at her to set up a kekkai,but she couldn't move. Out of the corner of her eye she saw Fuuma approach.He kneeled down next to her and grabbed her by the throat. "Secret Maiden of the Ise shrine.You swear to protect Kamui with your life.But are you so eager to die for him?Do you truly believe that this world is worth it,that you would give up your life for it's savior?" "I fight...not only for Kamui...and the world..but for the love-" Arashi was cut off when Fuuma grasped her neck even harder. "I wasn't looking for an answer either.Actually you have no choice in the matter.When you die,it will be by my hand alone." Fuuma threw the Curse Zombie away from Arashi and into the fray amongst Sorata and Kamui.Sora managed to look up and saw Fuuma lift Arashi from the ground by her throat.He tried to push past the mass of bodies pushing against him,but he only resulted in geting separated from Kamui. "Kamui!"he shouted. Kamui slammed into a nearby Curse Zombie and almost knocked over Sora as well. "Sora!"Kamui exclaimed,rejoining his friend. "We can't fight without putting up a kekkai!" Suddenly the Curse Zombies vanished and silence fell. "What the hell-"Kamui looked around."What's going on?" Kamui turned to look at his friend but was surprised by the look of horror on Sorata's face.Fuuma was standing on a nearby telephone booth,still clutching Arashi by the throat.He smiled evily and Kamui blanched with the sudden realization that Fuuma wasn't staring at him,but at Sora. "Arisugawa Sorata.You've been protecting Kamui longer than anyone isn't that right?" Sora only managed to nod slightly. "Now it's time for you to make the most important decision of your life. It's a well known fact that you love Ms.Kishuu here." Fuuma tightened his grip,Arashi let out a strangled gasp,her hands flew to her throat as she tried to pry his iron grip away. "Who will you choose to defend?Who will you choose to sacrifice your life to?Kamui,your destined savior,or the woman you love?It's a simple really.It all boils down to one thing,what is more important to you?The fate of humanity,or the life of your beloved." "Fuuma!!"Kamui was shocked by his cruelty,but Sora only placed his hand on Kamui's shoulder.Kamui looked at him with silent respect.Sora took a few halting steps forward,when Kamui suddenly realized what he was about to do. "Sora!Don't!" But it was too late,Sorata's kekkai flared to life,locking only himself Fuuma and Arashi inside. "He's too strong Sora!"Kamui yelled."He'll kill you both!" Sora didn't say anything but calmly took off his jacket and threw it aside.Kamui moved forward,preparing to come into the battle himself when Sora turned. "This is my fight Kamui.Stay out of it." Kamui opened his mouth to protest,but stopped at the look on Sora's face. "You seem eager for a fight my friend."Fuuma smiled. "Don't mistake me for your friend."Sora unbuttoned his sleeves and rolled them up."But I am willing to fight you.Just let her go first." Fuuma grinned."You know that I'll kill you,so why do you persist?" He dropped Arashi to the ground,she tried to run to Sora but a flame sprang up between them.She was forced to retreat back towards Fuuma,he grabbed her roughly by the arm and kissed her passionately.Arashi broke away from him and spit in his face.Fuuma shook his head and shoved her out of the kekkai. She fell backwards,putting her hand out to catch herself,only to land on the rose that Sora had given her earlier.She watched distantly as the blood ran down her finger tips and into the palm of her hand.She could faintly hear the sound of Fuuma and Sorata battling before her. "Don't let it end this way."she heard a soft voice say."Don't let evil destroy the one good thing that has come from all this fighting." "Princess Hinoto!"Arashi exclaimed. "Save him!"Hinoto's voice screamed in her mind."Save your love!" Arashi stood,anger and passion mingled in her eyes.The Holy Sword of Ise burst from her palm as she slowly moved towards the kekkai.Inside Fuuma was grinning broadly at Sora,not even paying the slightest attention to her.She slammed into the kekkai wall,and to her own amazement came through the other side.Still Fuuma paid her no heed.All hsi energy spent on destroying the boy who dared to defy him.She carefully stepped up behind him,sword poised in her hand,when at the last second her saw her from the corner of his eye and dodged.The sword swiped through the air,barely missing him. Fuuma stumbled back cursing."Seems like you don't know how to play fair." "Fuck you."Arashi spit. Sora and Kamui looked at her in surprise as she walked towards Fuuma.He only smiled at her as he began to vanish in a flurry of feathers. "I like you."he grinned."Perhaps we'll fight another day." Arashi turned to Sora who released his kekkai,allowing the feathers to float off into the wind.She picked up the trampled rose and handed it to him. "You're right."she smiled with tears in her eyes."I do love you." @->- The End -<-@
