Welcome to Gaia! ::

Amor in the air? A walk for Yuki and Takairi

Yuki frowned slightly, his brows furrowing together as he drew closer to the feline, offering a hug, a bit hesistant to make contact still. He was always the type to allow the contact to be made, rather than forcing it. "I didn't mean for it sound like that." He shook his head as a small smile appeared on his lips. "You should know, your one of the smartest anthros I've know." He nodded as he looked down to her.

Takairi went into the offered hug without hesitation, a bush coming to the surface. Wrapping her arms around the angel, she never stopped listening to him, and blushed more when he called her smart. Looking up to him, the blush still there, she smiled. "I understand that you didn't mean for it to come out that way. Thank you for the compliment." He was completely forgiven for the unintentional slight. The idea that he viewed her as smart, even though she knew it to be truth, was a very high compliment in her book.

Yuki smiled, lightly hugging Takairi, not too close but not too far away. A blush appeared on his face by the contact as he nodded his head. "No problem." His eyes glanced away for her for a moment before catching her eyesight once again. "Shall we go outside now?" He asked, slightly motioning to break the hug, but hoping it wasn't offensive to her.

Takairi accepted the not too close hug. She wasn't far away, but perfectly close enough for her. She nearly forgot about the reason they were looking for the bottle in the first place, the hungry infant needed it. As he motioned, she pulled back from the hug, and offered her hand to him, a familiar contact that she enjoyed, and thus far had not been rejected, "I would love to go outside now. Will we pass Li? The baby sounded upset yet he hasn't come for the bottle."


Yuki accepted her hand, holding hers with his slightly larger one. "I suppose we can leave it on the counter for him to get when he comes back with the baby." The angel nodded as he looked over to the bottle before smiling to her. "Shall we?"

Takairi loved the feeling of his hand holding hers, she must think that line a thousand times, but every time it was true. Only giving the bottle one more moment of her thought process, she just hoped that Li would come before it got cool. Babies were not on her mind, far from it, and with thought on that little one's wellbeing done; it filled back to the far reaches of her mind.

"I'm sure he'll come in soon, the baby will see to that." As he spoke again, she nodded her agreement. Any verbal response was cut off before it begin because her irksome blue bangs had fallen in her eyes again, bring up her free hand, she fixed them back into place for however long they would stay this time. "I am ready." There, at least what she was going to say came out.



Yuki chuckled softly, watching the feline's attempts to fix her hair. "Mmn." The angel lead her back outside the kitchen and went out the back door to the garden. It was dimly lighted, trying not to take away the light of the moon that shone through behind the house. He stopped to look around, seeing if he saw any differences to when he had came out before. There were trails on the ground, leading to certain areas; like a koi pond, the far off river and trail that went around the house. The place was carefully landscaped but not overdone so, just as far as an amateur can do.


Gasping softly she nearly whispers purring out "Wow". The place was lovely! Her home looked nice, but it wasn't done with the love and care this place looked like to had received. The lighting wasn't needed for her, once her eyes adjusted, which didn't take long, she could see just fine, minus a lot of the color spectrum. As she looked around, her eyes tried to grasp every detail. Then looking up to Yuki she said, "This place is lovely." It reminded her alot of her home as well, the moon and the stars looked similar, but felt almost different here, must be the company, she thought enjoying herself



Yuki smiled and nodded. "I believe almost every anthro contributed to this garden, or at least tried to." He nodded as he looked over to Takairi. "Which direction should we head?" He asked her softly, even though his eyesight wasn't the best in the dark, the slightly lighted trail would help him go where ever he wanted to go.


Curious, she titled her head slightly to the side and looked to Yuki, "Did you add something to the garden?" That was something she would like to see what he added to this garden, something wonderful, she was sure. She wasn't sure where to go, where to start looking around so she asked, "Where is your favorite place here? I'd like to see it." Who better to show her more of the wonders this lovely place held, then the wonderful angel she was with?


Yuki nodded. "I did. I added a little patch of chrysanthemums." The angel looked about. "I like the pond. It's most amusing to visit a friend that lives there. I believe we'll be near my patch of flowers when we get close to the pond." The angel lead the feline on a trail to the left, passing by a few flowers and odd exotic plants.

She listened, her ear always on what he had to say. Chrysanthemums? Lovely flowers indeed, "A wonderful choice of flower, one of my personal favorites? " Was there an aquatic anthro here as well? She was very interested to see what this place looked like and to meet this friend. The patch of flowers also interested her.

She followed along, matching his pace, her nose picked up the wonderful scents wafting around from the flowers. It was a shame that winter would come and kill them off. However, with spring comes birth and renewed life.


The angel nodded. "It is one of my favorites too. I love the vibrant colors." He smiled slightly, along the way, he made a little stop to pick up a small pebble as they neared the bridge that lead over the pond. He lead her to step onto the dainty bridge and leaned over the railing to drop the pebble in.

Naiya gasped, feeling the pebble drop on her back. The koi swam away from her as she swam to the top of the pond and glanced up to the angel, not able to see him clearly. "'allo!" She greeted, happily. "Having a nice.. evening?" She asked, yawning a bit.

Safe to say that Takairi was very confused when he picked up the pebble and dropped in the water. Said confusion turned to flat out shock with a koi came up and talked. Her only outward show of how surprised she was was that she tensed up a second. Looking over the bridge, she couldn't help but smile lightly at the koi. Her free hand came up to wave; however, she felt silly unsure if it could even see her and since when did she wave? Putting her hand on the railing instead she spoke to the fish, "Hello, did we wake you up?" Her question came because she was sure it yawned.


The angel felt a bit bad for waking up the mermaid at such a late time. "I'm sorry for disturbing your sleep." He nodded. "Yes, I am having a wonderful night." He glanced over to Takairi. "Naiya, I'd like you to meet my friend Takairi; Takairi, Naiya."

Naiya let out a bubbly laugh as she shook her head. "It's fine! Don't worry about waking me up, the fishes don't seem to want me to go to sleep yet. Play, plaaay all day." She mumbled before waving one of her small hands to Takairi. "Nice to meet you!" The mermaid said as she waded in the water to stay on the surface.

Her eyes went from looking at the mermaid to looking at Yuki, she settled for her ears mainly turning and her eyes going with them. To her self, she thought about how wonderful an evening she was having as well. Smiling to the mermaid she returned the greeting, "It is very nice to meet you as well, Naiya." This was the first time she had seen a mermaid and she made her wonder what it was like to be an aquatic creature. She herself didn't hate water, per se, and she could swim, but it wasn't her favorite thing to do, still it was interesting to meet someone who lived in that world.


Naiya tilted her head. "What brings you two out here this late at night? Do I sense a little amor?" The young mermaid giggled before waving her hand off. "Never mind, I don't want to know. Night!" She giggled before disappearing under the water once agian.

Yuki blushed. WHAT?! He blinked, wondering what got into that kid's head and shook his head. He mumbled something about kids and not knowing what they're talking about.


She wasn't slow; she just didn't know French all that well. While trying to puzzle through what amour might mean. Yuki's reaction gave her enough context clues to guess at what the mermaid was talking about, and she went bright red a moment as she fought to fight down the blush, it was one thing to feel something for another, it was another entirely to have someone else notice.

It was getting later by the moment and she'd like to know where she would be resting for the night, "I am not ready for sleep quite yet; however, I was curious." Now just how to ask? Well, it wasn't like she was asking something wrong so she just came out with it, "Yuki, can I stay with you tonight or will you escort me home in a little bit?" Both options worked for her, the latter a bit more then the former because of the fact that she didn't know how comfortable she would be sleeping in a strange house with people she didn't know. If Yuki allowed her to stay in his room, even if she was just sleeping on the floor, the she'd be comfortable enough that it wouldn't matter.

Home was always comfortable to her and even though she was not worried in the least, she would gladly take a protective escort home.



The angel looked over to the feline. "Whatever is most comfortable to you, I'll be willing to do. I'm sure you can go into a guest bedroom or sleep in my room if you want? Unless you really want to return him, I am comfortable with taking you home as well." He smiled softly, guiding her across the bridge seeing that Naiya wouldn't be saying anything soon.


Takairi looked at the house, trying to decide what she wanted. To stay with Yuki, of course. "I would love to stay here, and explore more in the morning." Who knew if Rin had burnt down the palace or what trouble was going on at home, right now all that mattered was where she was and who she was with. "I'd like to stay in your room, I don't know this place well enough to be able to sleep easy completely alone in an unfamiliar room." Honestly, she knew for a fact sleep would be hard to have somewhere she was not sure of.

What harm could come to anyone under that roof? In any case, it just wouldn't sit well with her otherwise.

Yuki smile and nodded. "Alright. I'll take the floor and you can take my bed?" He said, while continuing walking towards his patch of flowers, knowing that Takairi had wanted to see them. The angel stopped at a patch of chrysanthemums, at least, thinking they were his. He could barely tell in the dark. "I believe this is my little addition to the garden." He smiled slightly.


Takairi frowned; she didn't want to oust him from his own bed. "You don't have to sleep on the floor. I don't want you to be uncomfortable because of me." She felt bad about it and would just as well suggest he sleep with her. Sure, she moved around but it wasn't too bad. He hadn't said anything about her kicking him or anything last time the slept on the same surface together.

It was not that hard to pick out the flower, the color was another thing all together. Sniffing, she took in the scent that distinguished the flower from another. Next to the smell of sweet pea and violets, it was her favorite. "They smell wonderful." Smiling, she just took in the scent.

Yuki blushed at the thought of sleeping next to Takairi. ".. If you are alright with it." The angel said, watching as sniffed. He nodded. "They do. I am happy that you are enjoying them." His wings twitched behind him as they stood there for a while.

Her attention was pulled away from the flowers as she looked back to Yuki, smiling at him she told him, "It is, I trust you." With a blush growing brighter she adds almost sheepishly, "I would warn you that I move in my sleep, but you already know that." Turning her attention back to the flowers a moment, she remarks, "You made such a great choice with these flowers. I can see well in the dark, but color and night vision don't work together very well. I'll bet they are as prettily colored as they are lovely to smell." Her eyes went up to the stars; everything about the night was beautiful.

Yuki smiled slightly. "Okay." He paused. "Oh, yes, I do know what." He chuckled softly. "Thank you. We might need to revisit them in the morning." He nodded, before looking up to the stars at well.

Smiling to him, she was glad he agreed to share his bed with her. She was content, happy that she would get one more night of sleeping near Yuki. Being near him had a soothing affect, she felt like nothing in the world could harm her when she was with him. Her loneliness was cured by the blue haired angel. Knowing that someone else cared for her eased her down to her very soul. "I'd like that." She remarked about seeing the flowers in the morning.

The stars twinkled above, and she thought for a moment about the view they must enjoy. Raising up her free hand, she muffled a small yawn.


The angel nodded before looking over to Takairi. "Do you wish to go back into the house now?" He angel asked softly. "We can always come back tomorrow." He smiled softly.

His soft voice drew her eye back to him, and she nodded, "Yes, I do want to go back inside." She brought a hand to rub her eye lightly, too tired to want to stay outside much longer. Then she agreed, "Yes, tomorrow, I look forward to seeing it in the day light." After rest, she was sure the garden would look even better.

Yuki smiled and nodded. "Alright." He lead her away from the flowers, back towards the house. They walked over the bridge once again, hearing a loup 'PLOP!' as they passed. "Hopefully we will catch the sunrise?" He said, but seeing how late it was, he doubted it.

She walked beside Yuki, her eyes looking around a bit. She missed seeing what caused the 'plop' sound, her ear flicked to it as it was made but she didn't try to see the ripples created. She was sure the little mermaid had created the sound. The sunrise, she had not seen that in a long time. "My secret place in the tree that I showed you when we first met, was where I used to go sometimes to watch the sunrise and even set. However, I haven't seen it in a while. If we don't see it this morning, there is always next." As she walked, she reflected on the tree, and forgave whatever had caused her to drop her book that day, for it changed her life by helping her find a friend, and more.



The angel looked over to Taikairi. "Mmn. Maybe we should go watch on from there again." He nodded. "It would be nice to watch from the very top." Yuki stopped at the door, opening it for Takairi to enter before he entered.

Takairi agreed and told him, "The view is wonderful from there. It will be nice to see it from there with you." It was always nice to watch the sunrise, but she was always alone. She was sure it would be better watching it with someone else.

As the door opened, her ears flattened against her skull and she blinked rapidly. Her eyes were so used to the lack of light that the inside hurt. Shaking her head, she recovered soon and walked inside, acting like it hadn't happened.


The angel smiled and nodded. "It would be nice." As soon as he entered, his eyes squinted, not used to the light but slowly adjusted. He shut the door behind him, locking it, in case any strangers entered during the night. He took the lead again and lead her to the staircase.

She heard the door lock, strangely that was something she had never done before at the palace. Perhaps she should pick up the good idea; she didn't want the home she claimed to be robbed or anything. Following where Yuki lead, she kept perfect pace and observed what was on either side of them as they walked.

Yuki continued, he began walking up the stairs, quietly, knowing there was other sleeping most likely. He looked about, wondering if there was anyone drifting around.

Takairi remained silent; it was late and like wise assumed people are sleeping. Looking around further, she her ear flicked around, both her sense were searching for the presents of others. A mean as it might sound she hoped no one else would be about, she wanted sleep.


The angel lead the feline around a corner to another staircase, seeing he lived on the top floor. He slowly ascended the stairs, not finding any words to say to the beautiful feline that would be in bed with him tonight. His cheeks were set aflame once again, though he tried hiding by diverting his gaze or turning his face.

Takairi looked at the staircase before they went up it. It made sense to her that the wonderful angel would live on a high level of the house. She didn't mind the walk in silence; the silence wasn't awkward to her or uncomfortable. Having been looking the opposite away, she only briefly saw something out of the corner of her eye. She turned to see if she was seeing what she thought she had, but he had turned the other way. Her mind went back to wondering how far his room was. The walk did not bother her, she was just sleepy. She almost wanted to ask, but did not want it to sound too much like she was lazy.


Yuki smiled slightly, looking over to Takairi. "Sorry. When I chose my room, it was when I liked solitude and peace." The upstairs was pretty empty. All the rooms that weren't occupied with anthros, had their doors open to reveal the bare single beded rooms.

Takairi looked back to Yuki when he spoke. It made perfect sense and she responded back, "This looks like the perfect place for solitude. I'd imagine if there is drama downstairs; it isn't likely to find its way up here." She looked into one of the empty rooms as they passed. Now that she knew what one looked like, she'd be able to pick out the personal touches in his own. She wondered about the other anthros that might live up here as well.


Yuki nodded. "It usually doesn't follow it's way up here." The angel stopped at the very last door and jingled it open before entering. His room was rather plain, painted with crystal blue hues and white. To the right was his bed with a simple baby blue sheets and two pillows. His walls were air brushed to look like clouds and on the left, was a mural done of a landscape with purple-esque mountains off to the distance with a sunset. Underneat a mural was a rug and a tray for incense to burn. Off to a corner was a small wooden desk with a wooden chair drawn up under the table. Parchment paper and writing utensils were set on his desk neatly.

"That's good to hear," She said about the drama normally not finding its way to bother Yuki. At the door she awaited it to be opened, her imagination nothing compared to the sight before her when the door opened. She looked around the room, taking in all the wonderful details. "Your room is very nice. You have a great taste for colors." She complimented as she looked over it again to make sure she didn't miss anything.

The room fit the occupant, she could easily see that. Her eyes then fell on the bed, it looked comfortable. There was such beauty in simplicity, she thought before how tired she was feeling caught up with her again and she rose her free hand to try and muffle another sleepy yawn.


Yuki smiled slightly and blushed. "Thank you. If you wish, you may borrow my clothing for bed?" He asked. "There is clothing in my bottom drawer you can borrow. I will be back." The angel went out of the room to find another blanket for the bed, just in case it was needed.

As Yuki left, she went looking through the bottom drawer. Selecting a long shirt and comfy looking bottoms, she walked the wall with the door and quickly changed into the clothing. Comfortable in what she was wearing, she walked over to Yuki's bed. Sitting down she works her fingers through her hair as she waits for the angel to return so that she could comfortably go to sleep. It was strange wearing someone else's clothing but she didn't mind.

Yuki came back into the room, with a comforter in his arms. He placed it next to Takairi as he smiled slightly to her. "I got to go get changed myself." He said as he moved to go get button up shirt and pajama pants, first taking off his cape, and laying it over the back of his wooden chair and walking out to change in the restroom right next to his room.

She smiled at him as he came in and patiently waited when he left. While she was there waiting, she got up and fixed the comforter to cover the whole bed. It was funny to her to think of making a bed before getting in it, but that way it was convenient to either use the comforter or toss it t the side without much fuss. Sitting back on the bed, she looked the mural on the wall, just observing the detail further.


Yuki reentered his room with his clothes folded in his arms and setted it in the hamper for his dirty clothes. He looked back to Takairi, feeling a bit smaller, but his broad shoulders was still apparent in his button up shirt. His skyblue hair was tied at the nape of his neck. The angel moved over to the bed, sitting on it.

Takairi smiled to Yuki when he returned in instant greeting. Its easy to understand why the shirt she borrowed fit the way it did, his wonderfully board shoulders were not because of the clothing he was wearing. It was different seeing his hair tied back, not bad, just different. She made the observation quick so it would hopefully not look like she was observing him. The clothing she borrowed was of course not her size, but the difference was comfortable to her and she didn’t feel it made her look any bigger; perhaps it even made her look smaller? She really wasn’t thinking of her own looks at the moment but made mental note to check it out in the morning.

Reaching behind her she gathered her thick hair and twisted it before throwing over her shoulder to stay put. Wearing her warm smile, she says once again, "Thank you, for everything, Yuki." She really was grateful for all he had done for her that he didn't have to. "Ready for sleep?" She asks because she did want to go to sleep but if he wanted to talk, she was willing to stay up and listen.

Yuki nodded. "I am ready if you are, you seemed tired when you got up here and I do not want to hold you back from you sleep. He stood back up, realizing he would need to to draw back the covers to get underneath them. "It's no problem, I'm glad to offer what I can." He nodded.

Takairi got up as well and snuggled her way under the covers. She was careful not to take up too much room, at least first. Yawning again, she was too sleepy to remark to night, though she did give him a sleepy smile in response to what he said before drifting off to sleep.

Already, she was sure she would wake up cuddled next to him like she had the last time. It was such a pleasant way to wake up.

Drake, Isis and Ra meet Dansu at the door.

DJ: Dansu walked on a vacant couch. It had been awhile since she came here, she wondered if anything happened while she was gone. She yawned lazily watching the door to see if someone would enter.

Ru: Drake approached the tower and came in, his kids in his arms. He was dealing with Isis being squirmy and even though Ra was just sitting in his arms, Isis was causing enough trouble alone that he almost needed both of his arm. The poor guy was in over his head trying to take care of two of his three children at once.

DJ: Dansu rised to her feet, feeling tired of waiting. She giggled a bit, to think how impatient she was. As she eushed quicker, she reached the tower entrance, and opening the door she saw a naga. "Woah!" she exclaimed as she jumped back. "Hello!" she said trying to not show how suprised she was.

Ru: Drake blinked as the young woman jumped back in apperent suprise. He smiled to her and spoke, "I am sorry if I startled you, miss." He wanted to get inside so that he could put his children down but he wasn't going to be rude and push past her.

Isis struggled in her father's arms, startting to get fussy. With the sudden noise made by the surpised female, she hushed a moment before starting to cry.

Ra's responce to his sister's actions was to start to shake his tail in warning.

DJ: Dansu shook her head. "Nothing is wrong, I was just startled," she said. She looked at the female baby and leaned over a bit before petting the child's head. "Did I scare the adorwable baby?" she said in a childish voice as the didn't notice Ra shake his tail.
Dansu sraightened her back looking back at Drake and said, "Are these two your children? They're just too cute!"

Ru: Isis's crying calmed down to just a frown as she was talked to and patted. With her head tilted to the side, she looked a the woman tiring to figure out what she should think about her.

Ra calmed himself down, due mainly to he father's doing. So long as his sister wasn't hurt, he would remain placid.

Drake was relived that the woman was okay. "I didn't mean to startle you, I am sorry." Smiling with pride he looked to his children and told her, "Yes, they are. My daughter's name is Isis and my son's name is Ra. I have another child, Set, but he is with their mother." He was so proud of his children, he loved them and his mate very much. The was the only time the normally humble naga would allow himself to feel pride.

He caught himself before loosing manners over pride and asked the question "What is your name, miss? I am Drake." He hoped she wouldn't have caught the slip.

DJ: "It was that obvious that I was startled?" she asked as her tail curled around her. I'm so predictable! she thought before setting her attention back on Drake. "It must be wonderful to have children. Children are cute, but I'm afraid to have them with my love." She didn't mention the phoenix/fox hybrid's name, she thought it would confuse the snake.
"My name is Dansu, it's a great pleasure to meet you Drake," she said smiling a bit and making a quick bow. She didn't notice his proudness showing, she too would be.

Ru: Isis was now facinated, this female's tail didn't make noise! Why didn't it make noise? Her head tilted to the side her little mind worked on that puzzle.

Ra looked to his sister then his father before looking back to this person talking to them. He did not utter a sound.

Drake remarked qucikly, seeing as she seemed displeased about it. "It was not obvious, miss Dansu, the only clue was you moved back." Nodding his head he told her, "Children are a lot of work and responciblity. Although they are very well worth it, if your worried then remember one thing, its never too late to have to rush it. You have all the time in the world." He was unable to use his hands as he might have otherwise done when talking, but that was fine the load he carried was not a burden.

"It is a pleasure to meet you as well, miss Dansu." He bowed his head lightly, all he was able to do.

DJ: Dansu giggled. "I guess, I do get startled rather easy." She looked at the two babies and smiled warmly. "Yes, waiting would be the best I think, I need to first for the responsibility I need."
Dansu opened the door saying, "Maybe you should go in, Isis and Ra must be hard to carry without putting down." She hoped to be polite, and the snake did look like it was hard to carry

Yuki nodded. "I know.. I bet he's tired after doing all of this." The angel cringed as he stepped into the room, his feet making a crushing sound as he stepped into the sand. ".. It really feels like the beach." gonk He felt the need to shed off a layer from the very warm room.

Takairi looked at Yuki when he spoke and thought on what he had said before speaking aloud, "I wonder if he just finished when we found him this morning." She followed Yuki in, thinking about how wonderful a sun bathing spot this was. The feel of the warmth of the room was pleasant to her.

As he spoke of it feeling like a beach, she had to agree. To the point, she was very tempted to go into the water. However, her clothing stopped her, it would cling to her body to the point there was no reason to where it if she tried to go in with it on. Thats when it hit her, she was wearing a lot less then Yuki and although she was comfortable, was he? Turning her head, her blue-green eyes fell on the angel and she held a look of concern. The only thing was, she wasn't sure how to phrase her question.


Yuki shrugged. "I don't know. It would seem most likely so." His wings twitched out from his body, not wanting to warm it seeing it was already hot enough. The angel shrugged off his outer cape, setting it down near the entrance, but didn't want to take anything else off. His crimson eyes looked off into the distance of the water to see if there was any mermaids up and about.

Takairi stood silently, worried Yuki. Her worries lessened when he took off his cloak. At least now he didn't look like he would over heat. "Are you cool enough?" her question came with a tone of deep concerned. Right now, he was her concern, but her ears did flicker to the water, listening for the sounds of the mermaid she knew or another that was supposed to be there.


Yuki looked over to Takairi, smiling to her. "I'll be fine, don't worry about it." The angel offered his hand to her, to lead her down to the waters, wanting to see if Naiya would appear if he was near the water.

Takairi was not completely convinced, but she smiled back to him and took his offered hand. Her attentions were split between watching Yuki from the corner of her eye, and looking at where they were going.

Yuki stopped a couple steps from the water, looking around before raising his voice to call out Naiya's name. "Naiyaa~!" He looked around before seeing something green catch his eye. Before he knew it, his mermaid friend jumped out onto shore.

Naiya giggled. "Hello Yuki and Takairi." She flopped onto her back, her wet body getting sand plastered on her body. "Like my new place?" Her tail smacked against the water everytime the waves crashed it.

Takairi smiled happily, joyed to see the little mermaid she had met the night before. At Yuki's side, she speaks, "Hello, Naiya, it is great to see you again. Your new home is very lovely, are you enjoying it?" Looking out to the water a moment, she wondered if another little mer lived here or perhaps an older one?

Naiya nodded happily. "It's nice to see Takairi again!" The mermaid flipped back onto her stomach and moved her hand to move her hair out of her vision. "Yes I am! I'm even happy I have a roommate rather than having fishes as my friends but they live with me too." She nodded.

Yuki still head Takairi's hand as he looked down to the mermaid. "I'm glad to see you too Naiya. It's nice to see your enjoying your home. Where is your roommate by the way?" He asked her, not seeing the other possible mermaid in view.

She was glad the little mermaid was happy with her roommate. A child should have friends. As she thought that, she thought of the fish and amended her thoughts, friends similar to her. Yuki spoke before she could ask her question.

She asked her other question it its stead, "It looks like you have a lot more room in here then your pond. How deep does the water get?" It was hard to tell from the surface, but she was curious enough to ask. She was aware that her hand was still being held, the action was now so frequent and comfortable, it was as if her hand was made to be held by his, so natural and pleasant like the warm breeze that was nearly year round.

Naiya tilted her head. "She went out for today and was carried out by Renji who was led by Li." The mermaid nodded before looking to Takairi. "It gets pretty big! She nodded. "It's about three times my height at the very bottom." She smiled brightly, looking down to Takairi's and Yuki's hand before looking back up to them.

Yuki nodded. "I see." His head tilted. "Really, that's really deep Naiya." He chuckled, smiling to the young girl.

Takairi only knew one of the names mentioned. Renji, was a name she was sure she hadn't heard before. Perhaps she would inquire about it later, now was not really the time to get herself possibly confused further.

Her eyes were on the merchild, and it wasn't hard to guess where the merchild was looking before looking back up to her and Yuki, from her gaze she was sure. Recalling what Naiya had said before, "amor in the air" she has a light flush escape to lay very lightly on her cheeks and she responded to the answer to her question, "Wow, three times? Sounds like there is lots of room to play and swim freely for both you and your room mate. Do you get to play a lot?" She was happy for the merchild, and astounded by what Li was capable of doing. If he could do this, was their anything the fox could not?



Naiya nodded. "Yep! Naiya gets to play a lot. Ichigo likes to play with me when she can but she likes doing girly things when she too tired to play." She stuck out her tongue slightly. "But sometimes I do those things with her." She nodded, as the merchild looked up to Takairi, seeing the blush on her cheeks.

Yuki just smiled and looked over to Takairi before down to the merchild as he moved to sit down on the sand, but yet still holding onto Takairi's hand. "It's good you have somebody to play with, you always seemed bored whenever I come to visit you before."

Takairi sat down right next to Yuki, folding her legs under her as she did so. She moved carefully so there was never even the slightest jerk of her hand that was being held and holding to Yuki's. "Ichigo? Oh, thats her name, is she your age?"

With a small chuckle, the merchild's response told her that Ichigo probably was older, "It is wonderful that you have a playmate besides your nice fish friends." She then looked to Yuki a moment, having heard what he had said before she echoed the sentiment. Looking back to the water, she thought on the time she first met the child, fish certainly would be hard to catch a child, before more so one that knew the water just as well or better then them. Her life was like the child's in a way, alone from her own kind. She had the birds, and the merchild had the fish, it was a funny little parallel that she did not comment on preferring to keep to herself.

Pillow talk between Drake and Myaku




Drake just shifted back into his serpentine form, he was very, very pleasantly tired and sore and this form was a whole lot more comfortable. His arms around her body, he just smiled at his beloved mate. Kissing her forehead lightly he whispered back to her, "I love you two, Myaku."

Almost roguish he adds, "I have missed you and our alone time, my beloved." She was his first and will forever be his only. With their children teens now, able to care for them, he hoped for more and more alone time, not just in the lusty manor but for the connecting time with the woman he loved more then life itself.



The muscles of his lower body constricted and loosened under her touch, a touch he was addicted to for lack of a better term. He very nearly paled at the idea of more children, she blessed him with three lovely kids, he could never ask for more then that.

Smiling very lightly to her, he speaks back, "As do I, every moment with you is heaven on earth." With a soft chuckle he adds, "You blessed me with three beautiful children, I could ask for no more. Besides, for the time being, I'd rather be selfish and not share your attentions further." He stroked her hair then kissed her softly. Never had he felt threatened by his children, he loved them dearly and always enjoyed seeing them interact with their mother. Now, there was no need to jump out of bed to soothe a cry or many cries. He could relax with her and indulge in their time together that would be hard to give up again.


Drake adored her, greatly enjoyed their closeness. She was his everything, his world. He felt so strongly for her, that he doubted words could ever fully explain how much he cared. Nuzzling into her neck slightly, he gave her a soft, kiss before telling her, "I adore you, my beloved dearest one." She seemed to be thinking of something so he asked her, "What is on you mind, beautiful?" He wanted to hear it, her voice and anything on her mind.






Drake smiled at her, closing his eyes a moment to just enjoy the feeling of her hand going through his hair. When he opened his eyes, he watched and felt her return his affections. He still blushed, even after all they have done together, she could and did still bring him to a blush.

Her whispered words, music to his very soul. He stroked through her hair as she nuzzled against him. With her words, he replied back, "I feel so fortunate that you picked me, am glad you feel the same." A small grin appeared and he added, using the nickname he had given her during their first meeting, the second one leading to where they are now, "little volcano." He loved her, there was no doubt, and being playfully teasing came along with it. She was a bit annoyed with him when he used it before, but now he could make it up to her.

A short talk between Rin and Cirila

Rin walked into the tower, taking a seat on a near by couch. She was bundled up to fend off the chillyness outside. She hated the cold, but loved to buddle up, she was a feilne of comfort and that was one way to get it. She wondered if the cold would bring anyone in or not.


Cirila was sitting in a large chair by the fire, not cold, but only enjoying the warmth. She looked up at the feline walked into the room and studied this new personality.

Rin had randomly decided to look around when she caught sight of someone very unfimilar. Looking at her a moment, Rin gave a soft smile and waved over, "Hello." came her greeting as she watched to see if this person would be unpleasent or not.

Cirila straightened her posture as the cat came near to her, closing the book and setting it on the table next to her. She stood up and smiled slightly. "Hello."

Rin was comfortable in her seat, so she waved, inviting Cirila over. Sure it might be a little egotistical of her, to expect her to move when she wouldn't but so be it. "Are you new around here? I am Rin, nice to meet you." It was nice to see someone different that didn't appear gloomy and angry.

Rin seduces Asher

Rin was in the kitchen of the Tower. Why? Because there were already people in the lounge and she wanted to get away from people for a while. That and she is hungry. Her lack of cooking skills made her wish Drake was about. The rattler would cook for her; she didn't even have to be nice about it. Sighing lightly, she hunted for food.

Asher grumbled at Raven for waking him up so early in the morning. He didn't want to go to the shop today. He had a little headache and wasn't liking the sunlight or sounds. "Raven!"

"Asher!" Squealed the female wolf who gave a swish of her tail as she half dragged the black mamba with her. "I want to see who's all there!"

"You could have done that without me ya know."


Asher grumbled and moved away from the 'crazy' wolfess, slithering so he could find something for his headache, evidently leading him to the kitchen. His tongue flickered about as eyes of husky blue looked about. "If I was advil where would I be..?" He muttered to himself.

Raven sighed in exasperation at the snake as she darted about, looking for someone to chat with or pester.

Rin turned as she heard the mamba talk, her lips curled into a small smile as she replies to him, "You'd probably be in a medicine cabinet." He looked like he just might be pleasant company, might as well start off that way herself. Walking over to him, her hips swaying naturally, she says, "I know were some is, I'll get it for you if you wish." Well, it was a friendly gesture, now she awaited his response.


Despite his head hurting, Asher smiled at her. "I'd like that. Thank you, miss." She was pretty and she reminded him of Jin. "You're beautiful. May I ask what your name is?"

Rin nearly purred as she smiled warmly to the male. It had been so long since she heard compliments. Safe to say she instantly liked the male and was more then happy to retrieve what he needed. She listened to him fully, then with a wink said, "Thank you for the compliment. My name is Rin." She left the kitchen after saying that and went to the closet bathroom. Checking her reflection, she made sure her hair was behaving before grabbing the bottle of Advil and turning around.

Back in the kitchen, she held out the bottle to the mamba and spoke, "Here you are. May I know your name, my very dashing new friend?"

Golden hair covered the right side of his face as he smiled and thanked her for the advil and fetched for some water. After taking it, he looked to her. "Asher."

He finished his water and sat the empty glass down. "I shouldn't confuse you with Jin. She looks a little like you only s he's in golds."

Rin smiled at him, committing his name to memory. After all, someone that would smile and compliment her was worth remembering. His comment about confusing her with someone caused her a moment of confusion. Who was this Jin? Besides the fact that there was one letter difference between her name and Jin's, they also looked alike?

With her head tilted to the side she asks, "Are you and Jin close, Asher?" His name was pleasant to say, but her mind was more on finding out about this Jin, to know if she was a replacement or such.

"Somewhat. She's more of the sister type or aquaintence type though we both live under the same roof. Raven's around somewhere but she seems the little sister type." He shrugged. He hadn't had a romantic relation with anyone...not even with Arioch though the demon was off limits. With time, Asher would see that maybe Jin and Rin didn't look all that alike but he could be wrong.

The sister comment was a bit of a blow, there was absolutly no way she could think of someone with any bit of lust, if they were confusing her with a sister-type.

Leaning against a counter slightly she says "Ah, I see." She learned a bit as well, it didn't seem that either were lovers to him, thankfully because that would have been a turn off big time. Her tail swayed behind her and she says, "I hope you can see me as a friend, Asher." A great place to start any way.

She couldn't cook, so that was out but she did ask, "How are you doing?" Thinking of Drake, she was a bit concerned and added, "It will be winter in a few weeks, where will you stay during the cold months?" Drake had told her once of the weakness a sperent had to cold, she wasn't sure if it was just him or maybe others had it as well.

"Friends would be nice." He wasn't entirely sure how to explain his relationship with either Jin or Raven. Sisterly seemed the closest but even that too didn't describe it.

Being asked about the cold months, he smiled. "I'll be tired more then usual but I'll be around...Plus I've been staying in the same house with a cat and a wolf...well heat's usually about. What about you?"

Rin listened, smiling warmly as he said firends would be nice. So long as he didn't see her as a sister, she could work with it.

Nodding, she wondered why he just didn't stay here, there was heat enough, but that was his own choice in the matter. Rin didn't have the cleanest mind, so when he spoke of there being a cat and wolf around for heat, she wasn't thinking innoncently about that. However, he had said they were like sisters to him, leading out of her thoughts on that matter and back to his question. "Oh, I am fine with the cold, I have warm coats and a heat pillow to keep me comfortable outside or in. The home I stay at has a great heating system as well." She would have preffered a body to the pillow but thats what she had so she'd deal.

Risting the sigh, she just felt accepting it was the best thing she could do at the moment.


Asher's mind was less then innocent. He studied her for a small moment. "You seem a little down."

He slithered to the fridge and looked around for a little something, his tongue still flickering.

Rin looked at him, smiling as she said, her tail batting gently into her right leg then sliding down her leg only to do the act again. She was not some innocent school girl, she knew what she wanted and was not ashamed of it, "Oh, sorry, I was just thinking how regretful it is that the pillow although warm, doesn't have strong arms or anything else but the warmth." She herself found a bit of fruit, a banana to be exact and started to eat the soft, slightly curved fruit.

Asher chuckled a little as he withdrew nothing. He watched her. "Lonely at night huh?" He wasn't one to automatically sleep with someone on first meeting them...even if he had done so before and a long time ago.


She looked back at him, winking slightly, a smile never leaving her face, "Very lonely. What about you, do you get lonely?" Her tone was soft as she spoke to him. He obviously had a reason to go into the refrigerator which did give her an idea. Leaning on the counter, she reached over and pulled the fruit basket closer to her; she had finished the banana and reached for a grape. Holding the purple fruit between her thumb and pointer finger she asked. "Hungry?" Again her tail lightly stroked her leg as she felt flirtier every moment that went by.

"Occassionally." He admitted. The cat was flirting with him. It was going to take a little more then the meager tease to get this mamba into playing seducer or in this case seduced.

His tongue flickered a little. "You're seducing..." He murmured softly.

Ah, words she liked, something she could work with. Her smile turned in a bit of a smirk as he accused her of seducing. Oh she had a bunch of tricks to use, maybe one of them would work.

Taking the grape, she held it firmly in her mouth, puncturing it a bit with her fang, letting the juices flow at the corner of her mouth before she took the grape completely into her mouth and coyly licked the juice that had escaped. With her head titled to the side she asked, pretending innocents, "Am I?"

Asher nodded. "Indeed you are." He knew flirting when he smelled it...or tasted it. His tail snaked over to steal a grape before it was placed into his hand and he rolled between his thumb and finger. Husky eyes twinkled at her.

Rin smirked leaned a bit further against the counter grabbing another grape before standing up and leaning closer to him, her violate eyes sparking as she winked and said, "oopse." As if she was sorry, though it was easy to tell she wasn't. Bringing up to her lips lightly licked before eating it. Her tail once again stroke her leg before going within a hairs breath of him as she recalled.

Asher just grinned. "You apparently know what you want....However, it'll take more then just one meeting to get me, ma cherie." His tongue flickered out a bit.

Rin very slightly stuck out her full bottom lip, not in a pout completely. Her thoughts ran down the same seductive line, 'Doesn't mean I'll stop trying.' This was more then just for a bed mate for as long as they could keep each other, it was for fun as well. Although she had only been with one guy, she had a love for being flirty. Her very body language was put to that, seducing and having fun. Her fingers had a bit of grape juice on them, and she took care of that, licking her finger, her violet eye never living his eyes.

Her words came out in a low tone, "Oh, and what to you want, handsome?" She emphasized 'you' in her question.

Asher flashed a fangy smile. He slithered towards her side of the counter. "What I want I may not tell thee, ma cherie." He lucked another grape and ran it gently over her lips.

Rin watched him, her violet eyes sparkling with inward mischievousness and her seducing nature. She was slightly curious about what he meant about not wanting to tell her. The grape touching her lips stole away the question. Her response to said action was part her lips slightly and lick at the delicacy. Once again, her eyes didn't leave him and the smile didn't leave her face.

Her tail lightly brushed down his serpentine body as much as she could reach. Her hands had their own jobs, one rested on her hip, and the nail of her other hand lighty grazed his hand a faint touch before it fell to the counter.

Asher chuckled before he eased the grape into her mouth. He slithered behind her, one hand sliding along her waistline and spanning her stomach as his lips found her neck and nuzzled a little.

Rin took the grape, puncturing it with her fang, enjoying the juice before swallowing it. The action of his hand sent pleasant tremors through her body and she leaned her body against his. Tilting her head to the side to allow more area to be accessed, a low but deep purr came from her as she greatly enjoyed the feeling of his lips on her neck.

Her left hand trailed a finger along the hand on her stomach before coming down to lightly stroke the skin and scales that she could reach along his waist area. The other rose to feel the texture of his hair also, to make sure it was no where in the way of the hand on her stomach. This little kitty was in 7th heaven at the moment.

He tensed a little only because of the scars on the right side. Otherwise, he was perfectly relaxed. He continued to explore safely with his hands but his lips were kissing and licking.

Rin purred louder at his actions very much approving. She couldn't have hoped for more pleasureable company then what she had thusfar found in Asher. Besides lightly rubing herself against him, she was also relaxed doing nothing to hender his exploring. Her own touches were light, the feel of him so wonderful that much thoughts beyoung the hear and now were lost.

If there was one thing that she didn't excatly love, it was that there wasn't a way to kiss back, yet.

Asher murmured in her ear. "Nous devons prendre ceci ailleurs, petit l'un." His breath warm as it fanned against her skin, yet his tail coiled about her. He just waited for her reaction on the scars for he knew she was bound to discover them...

Rin didn't know what the words meant, but she knew the meaning. His body language and the way he said the words told her exactly what he meant. As he coiled around her she did see the scars, but instead of showing disgust at them, she lightly brushed her lips against one, a brief kiss. She was curious as to how he got such interesting marks, but right now there was only one question on her mind and it was on a different track, she'd have to remember to ask later, though.

She turned a bit getting the chance to lightly kiss him on the lips before she whispered warmly in his ears, "I don't understand the exact words, but I love the way you said them. My place or do you have somewhere else in mind?" Her words were said with a purr in them as well. Lightly kissing at his ear and then jaw, she raised her violate eyes to look in to his, desire burning like a fire as she awaited his response.

Rin and Asher, waking up and moving


Rin was slow to wake up. The very pleasant sent of Asher was the absolutely best way to wake up, snuggling closer to the warm body beside her, she felt completely at peace. Hunger clawed at her awareness forcing her to finally open her sleepy violate eyes and yawn lightly, a smile still on her face.

Asher coiled around her warm body, his nose and lips nuzzling her bare skin. His ear twitched as his forked tongue flicked out from rousing from sleep. "You're hungry..." his voice was soft holding the note one gets from sleep.

She felt so good, that even hunger couldn't bring it down. His nuzzling of her skin just caused a tiny pleasant purr to vibrate in her throat. His voice made her feel a bit guilty and she said softly back, "hmmm, yes I am. Did I wake you? I am sorry." She nuzzled him and kissed him softly as to make up for it.

"Nope." He rose up to coil on what would have been his knees provided he didn't have a tail. "We should get you food, ma cherie." He slithered off the bed and searched for his shirt and necklaces to pull back on.

She hadn't bathe since the morning before she met Asher, already her hair didn't feel as soft or pleasant to her. "I need a shower first, would you like to come?" Running a finger down his back she adds, "I wash your back and you wash mine?" Really, she felt she had to bathe before she could eat. Not only that, but it would wake her up fully. Again she felt her stomach tell her it was hungry, but the rest of her wanted that shower and thats what won?

He smiled. "Sounds good," he murmured, flickering his tongue against her foot before scooping her up and slithering to the bathroom to start the shower.

Rin stepped out of the shower, happy and very clean. She did feel a lot better now that she was clean, and taking a shower with someone else was new but wonderful. Huming to her self, she took upon grooming, the towel only on her to dry her. Yeah, she took her time grooming herself to look the best she could before finally getting dressed.

Asher slither out of the shower, his hair dripping wet as he pulled it back to dry it off a bit with a towel and running a comb through the moisten curls. He wrapped the towel around his waist before he slithered out to find his clothes and slip into those.

He came up behind her, hands spanning her waist while his tongue flicked out to tease her skin.

Rin had just gotten completely dressed in a whole new outfit when she felt hands on her waist and a very sexy tongue against her skin. A purr instantly came from her throat and she leaned backwards to press her body against his. Breathing in his scent deeply, she let out a small, happy sigh.

It took effort to pull her mind from going back into the lusty thoughts. She had to eat, and she was pretty sure that he would be hungry too, after all the energy they used with only sleep to try to replenish it. Turning around, she kissed her serpent lover passionately before pulling back, looking into his eyes and smiling, "Lets go eat, I am afraid if we don't go now, I may not want to in a few minutes." She doubted she'd ever be able to completely get her mind out of the gutter when it was just them.

Decore talk between Yuki and Takairi


Yuki looked up to see Takairi was done with her shower. He smiled slightly and shook his head. "It's fine. I don't mind at all." The angel tilted his head slightly. "Do you have anything else to attend to here?" He asked her curiously.

Takairi smiled and shook her head and told him, "No, I do not." That left her wondering what they would do now. As she thought about, her tail stayed near her leg and her ears twitched. Finally she asked, "Is there somewhere you want to go or something you would like to do?" She loved being with Yuki and just wanted to spend time with him. Her head was tilted to the side as she awaited his answer.

Yuki shook his head. "I do not have a preference on where to go or what to do." The angel just laid back against the pillows before sitting up and standing up once more, moving towards Takairi's room then looking to her. "Is there an interesting story for this room" He asked curiously, wondering if she choose the way her room was furnished.

Takairi looked to her room thinking about it before saying, "Kinda, I picked this room when I found this place because it was the only door that was unlocked and the vastness just seemed like this fun new place to me. The people I hired to fix this place up, they asked me what I wanted and I told them to come back the next day."

She walked over to the terrycloth on the ground and told him, "I watched what the sun did, and the moon. This spot was perfect for sun bathing and the moon hit it well. From there, I just tried to add elements of the nature. At that time I was a lot younger and a bit self centered, hence the huge bed. I read a story about royalty and thought it made me special to have it." Laughing lightly she thought about being a small child and added, so that he could be in on what she was laughing at, "I was probably around six or so when that happened, the moment this bed was brought and made, I ran right up to it and jumped as high as I could, It was a lot of fun bouncing into it and around. It must have been an hour or so before I got tired of bouncing and fell asleep."

Looking to her plants, "It was only when I became a young teen that I begin to bring plants and more life to the room. Is there a story behind your room?" Her head was again titled to the side and she leaned lightly against her bed frame since she moved over to it to tell her story.

Yuki just nodded as the feline went on with her story. As he looked to the sunbathing place he just smiled as he went to move directly underneath it to look up before looking back at Takairi. He chuckled hearing the story of her big bed and shook his head slightly as he laughed, imaging Takairi as a princess, crown and all. The angel took a moment to recall thoughts about his room. "Hm. As you've seen, my room is plan. The clouds airbrushed into the walls reminds me of flying. The mural was just something I can relax with when I'm mediating. I imagine myself in that very spot, where the sun is about to set in a large field of grass and where the mountains start to turn purple from the setting sun. Everything else was just for essential use, like the table chair and such. I used to reflect after I meditated." He blushed slightly, thinking Takairi would think his life was boring, but didn't mind so much seeing that's how he wanted to live his life.

Takairi listened to him, impressed by how what he did, had meaning and practicality. When he finished speaking, she told him, "That makes your room even lovelier. In its simplify and practically gives the room such charm." She honestly loved his room because it was simple, not ornate like hers. There were things in her room that had no purpose, but his didn't.


Yuki just smiled. "I find your room quite.. cute after hearing the story." He chuckled softly. "Thank you. I did not wish for Li to spend so much on my room seeing he's housing many anthros." He nodded. "I was one of the firsts though." His brow quirked up, at least remembering Lexi spended a lot to furnish her room.. and her personal bathroom.

Takairi smiled when he said the room was cute. In her mind she pictured her small self leaping on the bed, running around acting like a princess. Curious she asked, "How many were in the house before you?" She was the first here, and the only for a long time. Really, she was enjoying the time to getting to know him more.



Yuki thought about it for a moment. "I believe five where in the household before me, including Li." The angel nodded. "How long was it before Rin became a part of your household?" He blinked.

Takairi thought about it, how long had it been? With her fingers and mind she counted it out thinking that she found the place when she was five and she was 18 now so it was.. "It was 13 years before Rin and Drake showed up, both on the same day." Not really thinking much on it, she goes on to ask, "Did you get along well with the five there?" She was sure she wouldn't have stayed here if Rin lived in the same house as her before she got there.

Yuki just nodded. "I see." He smiled for a moment then frowned and shook his head. "Li, Lee and Li's son, Irvine were nice, Lexi was just stuck-up and I couldn't bare talking with her and Renji.. was affixated with me. Good thing Li found him disturbing and looked him up." He shuddered.

Takairi saw him shake frown and shake his head, in response to that, she tilted her head to the side in curiously. She just assumed that it was because he was thinking of the people he was staying with. She remembered him talking about the demon named Renji before. "Oh, I am glad that Li recognized that Renji was inappropriate towards you. That would have been really awful if you had to deal with worrying about him. I am sorry you didn't have more agreeable company. One of the reasons I was happy and sad to be alone. No one to bother me but also no one to laugh and talk with." She never talked to herself, well when she was very young she had an imaginary friend but that was something different.

Yuki just nodded his head. "Yeah. Li was just disturbed by his.. ways." He looked to her. "Oh? I think it's better to have company then be alone. You can always get away for a bit to be alone but it's sometimes harder to find company." He nodded.

Takairi couldn't help but wonder about Ranji. Like, what were these 'ways' he talked about? What in the world was this Ranji like to talk with? Was he as flirty as Rin had been to Drake or subtle, worse? Pushing both Rin and Renji out of her thoughts, she says, "Before now, I didn't have much of a choice, then when I did, it was sort of scary to think about talking to the people I watched from my tree." Taking a soft breath through her nose she says, "Though I do say, I prefer your company to solitude." She didn't turn way, just gazed to Yuki attentively to anything he might say.

Yuki just smiled. "Aw." He frowned slightly, moving over to grasp her hand and pat his other hand on top of hers. He just smiled when she said he enjoyed his company with a slight blush. "Do you know what Takairi? The first time I met you, it had been my first time talking to someone outside of my household. Yes, there may have been many others in my household, but none seem to really.. connect to me."

Takairi smiled warmer and blushed lightly as he took her hand and patted it. Listening to what he said, she felt really special, there was a connection between them, she knew that, and felt it. "Really? Then we were both lucky to met someone out side of our homes and connect with them." She felt very fortune to have met him, and would love the tree that brought them to meet. The book, she had honestly forgot all about and wasn't even sure where it was.



Yuki smiled as he leaned down a bit. "Yes.." He trailed off. He never considered doing this until now and leaned down to give her a chaste kiss on the lips, if she so allowed it. Of course, he would hope she wouldn't deny, seeing he had to rake up a lot of courage just to do this.



Takairi looked up at him, almost unable to believe what he was going to kiss her. She did not even hesitate on tilting her head up and slightly to the side to meet his lips with hers. She could have sworen her heart skipped a beat when she had realized his intention, but she didn't think about until she went to connect the kiss.

Her eyes closed and she pulled one arm to hug Yuki. Remembering how he left when she and Rin were competing, she had hardly even dreamed of even being able to kiss him or to be kissed by him.

Yuki pressed his lips to her for a chaste kiss before pulling away and looking to Takairi with a faint blush. He didn't know what to say for the moment being, but he would welcome the silence for just a bit to cherish the moment. (*Chaste life flies out the window.*)

Takairi slowly opened her eyes, smiling up at him, a blush burning on her cheeks. She finally understood what was so great about kissing. For a few heart beats, she said nothing, taking in what had happened. The child in her wanted to look away, but it was the adult woman that won out and she would not look away as she said softly, "That kiss was nice. Yuki, care strongly for you and hope that kiss won't be the last" This was all very new to her; she didn't know exactly what to say. Her love books failed her memory so she just spoke what she felt. Though she was not nearly as elegant as she would have liked.


Yuki lushed and looked down to Takairi's eyes, looking for the sincerity in her eyes and found it easy to find. ".. It won't be the last, if you allow it to be." He said softly.

Takairi couldn't help but smile warmer as he blushed. She may be juvenile in her comprehensions of imamate topics, but she did understand the blush. He had pulled the courage to initiate the first kiss, something she doubted she would have been able to do. A nod just wasn't good enough in this moment, something else was. "I do and will allow it." As she finished the last word, she attempted the second kiss, with the same option he gave her.


Yuki blushed and nodded, wrapping one of his arms around her waist and allowing the second kiss.
