Kaguyo smiled slightly. "Thank you, Su-kun..." she whispered, kissing his cheek softly. "Thank you for being patient with me." She took her tea, and glided silently down the hall. What was she going to do? Aled was pissed... it seemed like she had her work cut out for her. She opened the door with her back, carefully spinning to place her tray on a table.
Kazuhiko nodded. "I want to stay here a lot, but I have to be a Hunter on Earth one day... I don't know if I want to though." he sighed. "I need to check on Kitaria soon."

"Something to warm your frigid heart?" The voice spoke up from the darkness of the room, a room lit by a fireplace only. It was Aled, and he was sitting in a chair near the hearth, watching Kaguyo with cat-like eyes.

Meanwhile... Ainsu retired to another guest room, knowing he would need sleep.

Watari frowned, "Kitaria?" he asked. "And what is a Hunter, Kazuhiko-sama?"

Kaguyo jumped, so much that she dropped the tray and all its contents. She hissed, jumping backwards; she had burnt herself a bit. "Aled..." she whispered, shaking her head, "He did that, not I..."
Kazuhiko tilted his head. "I get to have antlers..." he began, "I get to lead the souls of the dead to the Otherworld at Samhain when the new year begins."

"He made you tea?" Aled asked, though he made no move to stand. "Or he made you drop it?" The Tarnb-jin Ou crossed one leg over the other. "Do you see how your guard is down, Kaguyo? What if I had been Aoki?"
~ ~ ~
"I don't think you'd look good with antlers, Kazuhiko-sama." Watari replied with a slight smile. "You have the regal bearing of an Ouji... not of one leading souls."

Kazuhiko smiled. "Sometimes you don't get to choose these things I guess." he sighed a bit, but he didn't seem sad. "I'll never really lose anyone because of death. I'll get to see them all the time. It's hard to explain."
Kaguyo shook her head. "It's only been a day..." she spoke quietly. "I'm tired, Aled-kun... I made the tea... You frightened me, and then I dropped the tea. He kissed me, not the other way around. I don't have the moxy or mind to be so assertive right now..." She carefully stepped over the broken glass, moving only a few feet away from him. "As you can clearly see." she sighed softly. Before she would've been spot-on. Nothing got past her. "I've been losing focus ever since this fiasco began... slowly but surely..."

"True... but you should listen to what you want, Kazuhiko-sama." Watari replied wisely. "If you can't be happy with yourself... those around you can't be happy with you. Self honesty is important."
~ ~ ~
Aled smirked, "So the b*****d was actually forward for once, hmm?" he asked, obviously not happy about the situation. "And to think, all the times I thought I was more than forward with you. Now I see that only a meek and rather powerless man could ever satisfy you."

Kaguyo glared. "You're self-centered Aled." she spoke bluntly, stepping towards him. "Those times you were forward? Don't forget about the time you left me tied to the bed, blindfolded, gagged and naked." she snapped. "All so high-and-mighty! You're always more than ready to fight... but you seem so quick to forget your shortcomings." It was hard to tell if she was softening or not. "Have you?" She crossed her arms, eyes locking with his. "I'm not dealing with the petty name-calling Aled. If you're jealous, just say so, and do something about it."
Kazuhiko nodded. "I'm happy with who I am.." he admitted softly, "But I don't understand why other people aren't, I guess... I'm really weird, Wata-san." he sighed. "Earth-kids don't see spirits."

Aled stood in one graceful motion. "And what would you have me do about it, Kaguyo?" he asked, his gaze locked with her own. Quickly, the Tarnb-jin Ou grabbed the woman by her arms, pulling her close and tilting her head back. "I'm jealous... I always have been..." Aled whispered before kissing her deeply.
~ ~ ~
"But there are some of Tarnbsei who do." Watari pointed out. "Here, you are not so strange, Kazuhiko-sama."

Kaguyo felt all the blood rushing to her face, her knees feeling weak. She nearly fainted. Between all of the chaos she went through that day, recovering from all that blood loss, Aled's sheer presence... She found herself relying heavily on the man for support, but she didn't deny him. There had been a reason she married him, deep down... Part of her liked that he was so possessive. He was protective of her, fiercely so.. "A...Aled-kun..." she whispered, shaking her head. "I... I..."
Kazuhiko nodded. "This is home too... I have many homes..." he smiled. "Three in fact."

But Aled wasn't about to let Kaguyo use some excuse to get out of this. Gently he held the woman against him, allowing her to use him for support. He deepened the kiss, pressing their bodies close. She was the only person to have ever... ever... stolen his heart in such a way.
~ ~ ~
"Three? Where else besides here and Earth?" Watari asked, enjoying how the boy was keeping the scientist from focusing on his own pain through the discussion.

Kazuhiko smiled. "It's on Earth, but it's its spirit realm..." he tried to explain. "Where the fae come from. It's really neat. It's usually various shades of twilight, but some shades are more like day and night. Plants talk there, and the fae live there... no iron, because it's icky, but it's beautiful... flowers almost everywhere. Lots of honey and REALLY good food but normal people can't eat it because a hundred thousand years will pass when they come back from that world and no one they know will be alive so if they step foot on land they'll grow old but if they just come back they'll stay young. It's complicated."
Kaguyo closed her eyes, occasionally breathing deeply between kisses. He had taken her breath away, her thoughts... She was practically melting in his arms, unresisting, a willing prisoner.

Watari laughed, "Sounds quite complicated indeed, Kazuhiko-sama. I can understand how hard it must be for you... to live in three places."
~ ~ ~
She was doing just what Aled had intended. "Aishiteru, Kaguyo-chan..." the Tarnb-jin Ou whispered before claiming her mouth in another kiss.

Kaguyo returned the kiss---but the minute he said that, she froze, and began to jerk away. "What am I doing..." she shook her head, frustrated. "It's the first day and you both won't even let me sleep..." She was frightened. Just like that her temperament had turned. "I can't... I can't tell you that Aled-kun..."
Kazuhiko nodded. "It gets hard to tell where to make myself comfortable." he admitted. "But it means I have a lot of places to explore."

"You don't need to tell me that." Aled replied in a whisper. "This isn't about me, Kaguyo-chan... it's about you." He did not release her however, staring deeply into the woman's eyes. Aled had enough charisma to fill the Abyss... "I spoke my heart... Would you have had me do otherwise, Kaguyo-chan?"
~ ~ ~
"True..." Watari conceded. "And you have just begun to explore this world."

Kaguyo watched him, unsure of whether or not she could trust him. "I suppose not..." she whispered, but she was uncertain. Something seemed off about this. Aled was up to something, he had to be... "Aled..." she whispered, "Please... don't torment me any further..."
Kazuhiko nodded. "Two places I already know... One place is a whole new world waiting to be explored." he beamed. "It's exciting."
