Welcome to Gaia! ::

"I will never forget that," she said hugging her gentler counterpart firmly, burying her face in the onyx tresses of her lover. "So long as I have you in my heart, I'll never forget."

She kissed the slender neck as water washed up against their legs. The sand lightly scoured at her skin, only magnifying the glowing radiance of her skin. Compared to Aasritha though, she was a bronze idol before a golden goddess.

Without answering, Red changed her position, lowering Aasritha to the sand as the water washes up on shore. Lying her left side against her lover, half on top of her, she pressed her entire body against her brown skinned beauty.

"Because if it were up to me I'd never have to let go. Since I do though, I'll hold on as tight as I wish." Her head came down again for a tender kiss, right arm reaching suggestively up her dress, stroking her thigh intimately.

"Beauty only reflects beauty. What you see in me is only a fraction of what you emit to the rest of the world."

She didn't even continue with words, but instead kept kissing her lover as their hair got lost within one another. Her fingers tickled the top of her thigh, creeping slowly until her hand caught hold of the inside of her leg; a soothing grasp that full of passion, but lacking the lust she usually took with her to the bedroom.

Her entire body was now pressed against the young one, the water blanketing their forms and holding them together. Playfully, as she lifted her head, she caught her black haired mistress's lower lip and began to tug gently.

As she lifted her body she purred gently into Aasritha's ear. For all the hate she felt for the world, this one woman, young though she was, had about an equal amount of love pouring out of Red's heart. She was happy to be alone with only this girl as her companion. The voices didn't bother her as much with Aasritha around. The pain didn't hurt as much and the loneliness waned.

"Why do I feel so alive with you? Every moment with you is," she decided not to say aloud what it was she thought at that very moment. Her body temperature was rising, her blood racing, and she felt a desire to become a carnal beast there on the seashore. However for all her passion, she was in a place technically visible to the public.

Her hands tugged at the dress from beneath, but did not dare remove them. Rising to her feet, she took Aasritha hands in hers, wishing to pull her up and into her arms.

"How about we go home?"

A cunning smirk etched across the features of Red's face as they kissed again. Each kiss was like tasting amrit and she wished it would never end. Her tongue had slithered to taste the nectar of her lover before she was even aware of it, but she paid it little mind since she was thinking about how to answer the question.

Every moment made her feel beyond alive. Separated from existence maybe. It was as though...

"Every moment is like nirvana again and again. Endless discovered bliss for us and us alone." Her voice practically sang the words as her right hand squeezed lovingly against the one in its grasp.

"But I want more than nirvana right now." With a sly wink she nibbled behind her partner's ears as the sound of a helicopter in the distance finally reached her ears. Being a kitsune though, that chopper was likely still a good means away.

Awoken by the cool ocean waves gently tickling her feet, she opened her senses to the world around her. Smelling in the lush plants and feeling the warm gritty sand as the wind slowly tousled her hair. Her fox maw opened slightly, panting in the salty ocean breeze. She slowly opened her beautiful eyes and beheld the world as if for the first time. She looked up at the clear sky patched with fluffy cumulus clouds and the brilliant yellow sun. She looked down and saw herself surrounded by thorny vines that seemed to be arranged as a nest or even a barrier around her and they were sprouting the softest white roses sprinkled with gem-like dew. She rose onto her back legs and looked down to see her clothes were in tatters and her body was partially that of a fox and partially human. Her legs were still the powerful dark black fox legs of her but her arms were human though covered in fur. Her chest was covered in fur, which was just as well since her clothes had long since been destroyed. Her head was fox-like... but somewhat different.

She summoned the sign of the Logrus, a powerful three dimensional maze, that once traversed could be used to advantage. Only a true daughter or son of the Logrus could complete it, then use it and she had completed it just a few days before. It had almost destroyed her and she had come to seek Red to help her while she recovered, but Red was nowhere to be found. Through the logrus she reached out and found herself some tattered clothes, a cape and hat, some food, and a menacingly curved sword with matching daggers. She looked out with her Logrus sight and could see where Red had laid magical traps on the island and she could also see that there was no one on the island.

She changed back into a completely human form, completely naked, and dressed herself then equipped her sword to her waist belt and hid her daggers on her person. She started to walk out the nest of roses and they parted for her and started to whither without her presence. She picked one of the purest roses from the bush, held it to her heart, then placed it into her now silvery hair. Leaving a note for Red and planning to stop by an art store she turned from the house. Then as suddenly as she had come, she left.

The water pulls her out of the hypnotic gaze of the clear sky above, which had almost succeeded in lulling her to sleep. Can't say she was disappointed about that fact - either of them - as she had nothing in particular to do at the moment. A nice nap on the beach with her beloved could be the one thing that might complete this very lazy day. They haven't a day alone for some time now. Nights, yes, but not a day where you could go somewhere, do something, even as menial as grocery shopping or cruising through the mountains for no real reason. Of course they could do those things at night too, but there was a very clear contrast experiencing sunlight and moonlight. They both served excellent purposes for differing moods and there was no real need for more of one or another.

Her feet became instantly colder again and these ruminations were pushed aside as the flowing tide water gently ebbed back to the sea. She could feel her skin tingling with warmth, but she was not concerned with the intensity of the sun at all. There was a bottle of suntan lotion somewhere on her left and a little water on her feet sure as hell wasn't about to wash it off. As her hair had chosen to fall over her eyes a bit she decided to brave a chance at gazing at the fire ball in the sky. Still much too bright to look at, even through thousands of strands of hair. Well that was perfectly fine. She didn't need to look at it to know it was there.

Some crashing noise made her ears wriggle atop her hair as though struggling vainly to detach from her scalp. She cursed the construction going on, wishing they'd either give up the project of be done with it. Patience for them was something she had run out of long ago for them. Were she not so soft, she might pick one out to make a nice corpse, but she had no reason to kill anyone that didn't challenge her and there weren't many she knew that brave. Her physical and magical power had gifted her with quite a bit of corporate influence she had no shame in using to get what she wanted. Soon she'd have her hands as far into politics as she wanted it for the time. One could never be too careful despite how powerful they were and though she was pretty comfortable where she sat, someone somewhere still had enough power to destabilize her empire of tall buildings, little people, paperwork, and rubber stamps.

No matter. She had her woman, her business, and her own island. Interestingly, were one to take the last two from her, she'd likely not care too much. Though her motives for building up so much power were unclear, she was sure without it everything would still be quite fine, so without a care she shifted about in the white sands, bending her right leg slowly to brush with her left as she gazed back out to the sky. It was a nice day.

Why she had chosen to wear a sari though...

It had been at least a month since they had last seen each other, and so much had happened to Aasritha in that time. She had gained, or perhaps merely released, so much power within her in the Courts of Chaos... and yet she knew it was only her mother's genetic gift she had unlocked. Her heritage through her father had only shown itself so far as her kitsune ears and tail.
Red would be surprised at her hair color, she thought, and decided to make the change less sudden. Concentrating slowly as she walked through the dense foliage behind the beach her silvery hair seemed to shine darker and darker in the sun, melting away to its original dark raven black but leaving a thick silver colored bang framing the left side of her face. Her ears and tail too changed back from silver with black tips to black with silver tips. It was one of the things she realized she could do with her Chaosite blood... change form. A fleeting thought ran through her head as she recalled her shape shifting abilities... she could change her breast size. She lightly laughed off her silly idea as she walked closer to the beach.
Somehow, in her excitement to see Red she hadn't noticed that wherever she stepped she seemed to be leaving a glowing trail of flowers and vines that died as she stepped away...

Ah, there she was. The beauty with the glistening ruby hair. Her Red. She so wanted to rush out and surprise her... but she looked so peaceful. She approached slowly, drinking in the scene with great thirst. Red was sitting on the beach, her hair blowing about wildly and the waves rushing up to greet her perfect, soft little toes. Her fingers buried in the warm, rough sand. The sky, a most perfect blue with not a cloud detracting from the color. And the sun was shining ahead of them so the illusion of surprising her lover would last. She walked up slowly then sank down slowly into the sand by Red, pushing her hands through the sand till their fingers touched.

"Its been a while hasn't it, Red?"
