The
Heart That Never Died

Everyone was tearing into their
presents with childlike zeal and Kaien�fully recovered and back in his body�was
smiling while Kin leaned into him as they sat on the couch and all the younger
kids opened their gifts. It would have been nice to have a family Christmas,
but this was his family, and he had to admit he much preferred this to
anything else.

This was how Christmas was
supposed to be, and it could only get better.

Masaki and Ikasam
were squealing in glee for some reason or another and cameras were flashing all
around but the only thought on his mind was how perfect this Christmas had been
so far, getting beaten or not.

Unexpectedly he felt a long box
be put on him and he snapped out of his trance to see his father and mother had
just put it on his lap.

�This� mine?�

They both nodded. �We weren�t
sure if we should or not, but after all the late night trips you made we were
sure giving her back to Soul Society would be a pointless gesture. She chose
you again Kaien,� Ichigo said reverently.

Kin wasn�t sure she liked what
had just been said. �Late night trips� and �she chose you� weren�t really going
together very well in her mind, but when she looked over and saw how wide her
boyfriend�s eyes were, she really didn�t know what to think.

Kaien tore the wrapping paper off
the box like he couldn�t believe what he had just heard and he had to make
sure. The lid to the box was quickly thrown aside and when he looked in he
stopped in shock. It was exactly what he had thought. He reached in carefully
and pulled out a sheathed katana, one with a magnificent sapphire hilt. He held
it over his knees as he stared down at it like he couldn�t understand what was
happening. The zanpakutou hummed in approval the moment it was in his hands and
everyone in the room looked over at him curiously, trying to discern what the
strange sound was.

The oldest Kurosaki child pulled
the sword from its sheath and put it back over his knees as he ran a hand down
the blade like a lover that had been away from his love for years. �You really
missed me, didn�t you?� he asked softly, even though he already knew the
answer.

Kin was beyond confused, but she
held her tongue just out of reverence for what was happening right beside her.
She didn�t know why, but she got the feeling that it was�sacred.

For some unknown reason Kaien
chuckled as he continued to look down on the sword held softly in his hand.
�Yeah yeah, I know you don�t like the thought of me
fighting with you but not actually fighting with you. Hey, I�ve kept my
promise. Today would�ve been ideal for you but I didn�t use you, does that make
you feel better?�

There was a conversation going on
between the two, but only one person could hear the other end of the
conversation. At least, that�s what Kin thought, but when she looked over at
Masaki, Ikasam, and Tsukiyomi, they were watching
their brother with restricted tears in their eyes. Rukia
too was near tears, but not because she could hear what was being said, but
because she knew who that sword was.

�You know if you do this you�ll
suffer the same pain I do right?� he asked seriously, and this time it was his
eyes that started watering in the minutes that came afterwards. The rest of the
group had gone deathly silent, and the joy and laughter of unwrapping presents
had been postponed momentarily in the wake of this gift.

�Yeah, two is better than
one against my blood, but�!?� He winced and his reply was cut off from what she
could only gather to be a rather harsh rebuttal from the sword in his hands.
�Hey! I know I get my stubbornness from him, no need to bring that up!�
He sighed and once more slid his hand down the side of the blade lovingly. �Are
you sure you�re sure?�

This time no snarky
comment was made or joking modesty used to try and allay the inevitable. She
watched as the tears that had been gathering in his eyes fell down his face and
his smoothed back hair fell out of place to hang around his head as what she
could only guess was a reply was given. �Thank you. At least now we�ll be
together again.�

Kin and Kisuke�s
eyebrows rose up questioningly. What did he mean by again?

Kaien sheathed the zanpakutou and
tenderly held the hilt up so he could rest his head against it while he closed
his eyes. �I�ll talk to you soon.�

Everyone in the room watched as
the blade in his grasp shimmered and started fading in and out of view. Kaien
grimaced but he kept his eyes shut and soon his hands weren�t holding anything
anymore. The zanpakutou had disappeared.

Yoruichi moved from her lover and
edged towards Kaien carefully. �Are�you alright Kaien?� she asked slowly, not even
quite sure herself what she had just seen.

The young man let loose a long
breath and leaned up and grinned stupidly. �I�m fine Lady Shihouin, why do you
ask?�

Yoruichi�s breath left her like
she had just been punched in the stomach. No one had called her by her title
since she had left her position as the Commander of the Special Ops and her
birthright was known by only a few present in the room. Certainly this boy
didn�t know of her princess status, in order for that to be possible he would
have to be hundreds of years old!

Kaien cocked his head to the side
and he scratched the back of his head. �Captain Urahara? What�s with the
getup?�

The normally calm and stoic shop
owner couldn�t have possibly had larger eyes at that moment.

The movements, the speech,
everything in her were telling her one thing, and Rukia
Kuchiki wasn�t willing to admit it. �K-Kaien�dono?� Renji�s eyes shot over to his wife in shock before just as
quickly they flew to Kaien. This wasn�t possible, there was just no way.

Kaien looked over at her before
giving that same stupid grin. �You�re here too Kuchiki?
That�s�� Even as Rukia started sobbing, it wasn�t
that that made Kaien stop in mid-sentence. He merely doubled over with his
hands gripping the sides of his head like claws for no discernable reason at
all, and that made everyone jump in surprise.

Kin instantly had her hands on
her boyfriend�s shoulders as she tried to get him to look at her. �Kaien?! Kaien, what�s wrong!?� The man in her grip
shuddered and shook and she could see his teeth grinding together as his face
contorted in pain.

Then, like nothing had happened,
he straightened up and flopped against the couch. After a minute of pure
silence, one of Kaien�s eyes crept open. �Sorry about that. I didn�t mean to
confuse you Auntie Rukia, or you La�� he caught himself, �Yoruichi. Being back with
her made my old memories a bit too vivid.�

Jyushiro
Ukitake swallowed thickly and stepped forward. �What
do you mean?� He knew what he likely meant, but he wasn�t willing to let his
impossible dreams guide his rational thought.

Kaien looked at the white-haired
man with respect and what was definitely sorrow. �I�ve�known for a while.� She was the first zanpakutou that ever cut
me, but the memories that came with that didn�t just come from her. I felt a
strange�familiarity, like I knew everything that was being poured into my mind
without even needing that cut. I shrugged it off at first, but no matter what
each time a zanpakutou cut me I never got that feeling again. When I used what
I had copied the movements came naturally, like I had done them a million times
before. I could feel something, I knew something, I
just couldn�t put my finger on it. Then�I started talking with her.�

Rukia
couldn�t suppress the broken sob, and Kaien winced. �Usually when souls are
recycled into the world through the process that creates Nobodies, their
memories are wiped. Maybe it�s because his spirit body hadn�t really died like
it should have, maybe it�s because of Glotoneria�s
ability, or maybe�� he looked over at Rukia sadly,
�maybe it�s because my heart never actually died, but whatever happened I don�t
know. All I know is at one point in time I was Kaien Shiba,
but I know for a fact that I�m not any longer. I�m Kaien Kurosaki, I was born
to Tatsuki Kurosaki and Ichigo Kurosaki and I have three sisters: Tsukiyomi,
Masaki, and Ikasam Kurosaki. My grandfather is Isshin Kurosaki and I have a new sibling coming in eight
months.

�In a past life though, I was
Kaien Shiba: husband to Third Seat officer Miyako Shiba, Lieutenant of
Division Thirteen under Captain Jyushiro Ukitake, and brother to Kuukaku
and Ganju of one of the four noble houses: Shiba. My wife was possessed and killed by a Hollow and I
went to get vengeance only to find myself under its control. I was killed�twice��
he chuckled again, �by Rukia Kuchiki,
who both times I knew held my best interests at heart.

�Now I find myself with all of my
memories of both my lives as Kaien Kurosaki, the person who is three spiritual
forms fused into one and who can copy any zanpakutou, which ironically is
strangely alike to Gloteneria. I�m not even going to
try to think that that has any bearing in my powers, but I can�t rule it out.
Last but definitely not least, I�m finally back with Nejibana. Oh and in case anyone didn�t know I�m also madly
in love with Kin Urahara-Shihouin.� He smiled over at her and she blushed
hotly.

Many of the children let out long
�ewwww�s but that only caused Kaien�s grin to widen.

He rubbed the back of his head
embarrassedly. �I�m sorry for all the theatrics, but I didn�t expect this gift
in a million years, but I probably should�ve expected the slight retrogression
after being back with her.�

�And you say that so calmly!� Kin
said in exasperation.

Kaien�s eyes turned to the floor.
�Would you rather have me go into depression that I�m merely the copy of a dead
Soul Reaper, or would you like me to keep on taking this calmly so I can keep
convincing myself I�m Kaien Kurosaki?� his voice was dripping with
sarcasm.

Within the span of a second she
had pulled his face up and her lips were on his just as greedily as ever. Any
doubts, and conscious thought for that matter, went floating out of his mind
and he was simply able to revel in Nejibana�s
presence within him, like a soothing spring of water cooling the heated blood
within him. He had never felt so in-control before, and kissing Kin like this
was great for his mood in general. It didn�t even occur to him that he had just
done the impossible, that of having a zanpakutou while being a zanpakutou
spirit himself. Then again, both Masaki and Tsukiyomi had zanpakutous
that were different from themselves and for the most part they were the same as
him.

A light cough caught his
attention and he remembered they were currently surrounded by all of his family
and most of their friends. They both pulled away from each other grudgingly and
Kaien wasn�t able to fight off the blush on his cheeks from the way all the
adults were looking at him and Kin. The kids�well, they were just turned away
and making faces at each other, but he didn�t really care what they thought
until they were older.

�I�m sorry again everyone. I
guess I made a scene��

Ichigo grinned widely. �Yup,
that�s pretty much right. Are you okay or can we get on with the night?�

Kaien blushed again. �Go ahead.
I�m just�going to go get some air. The memories have never been this vivid
before. I just need some�time�to readjust.�

He stood somberly and took his
leave of the room, easily exiting out into the battle-scarred backyard. The
most important gift of the night had yet to be given, but he hadn�t anticipated
having to deal with this when he was making his plans. He loved Kin, he knew
that, and he wanted to be with her forever, he also knew that. Now he had
memories of another life, another love, right under the surface of who he was
and he needed to discern them so he could get on with his life, not
Kaien Shiba�s.

Kaien Shiba
was dead, Kaien Kurosaki was alive.

He rubbed his pocket just to make
sure he still had it with him, and sighed at the reassuring weight he found
there. There was still something he had to do tonight, something that would
change his life more than even Nejibana. He looked
down on his left arm and was taken aback when he saw the Shiba
clan�s tattoo on his arm instead of the Renji-like
ones he knew he had. He blinked and shook his head vigorously, greatly relieved
when he opened his eyes to see his arm back to normal.

His memories are becoming a
real pain, he groused irritably.

A soft, watery chuckle emanated
from the core of his soul unexpectedly and he basked in the cool calmness it
radiated. �It�ll be hard at first, but I know you�ll do fine. You may have
his memories, but you�re a completely different person. Some similar traits,
I�ll admit,� the voice conceded jokingly, �but you�re still your own
person. I�ll always be here if you need me.�

He looked ahead and suddenly
there was a woman in front of him. She had a slight frame but it was held high
and proud and her soft features belied the strength she held. Her long blue
hair floated in the air behind her like water and a sapphire rose rested
elegantly in her hair, just like the flower after which she was named. Her
gentle crystal-blue eyes looked at him like she knew everything there was to
know about him and he found his doubts faltering under her gaze. A white dress
flowed loosely down her womanly curves and ended in near-transparent blue cloth
that trailed behind her in a wavy train. She was beautiful, but there was no
doubt to the pride and power she held in her small body. It was like a physical
existence in the air around her.

�Nejibana��

�Shh,�
her gentle, smooth voice answered. It was like the sound of water in a river,
or the sound of a waterfall in the distance; her voice was captivating,
calming, and almost overpowering in its very presence. She walked towards him
like a graceful sprite, as smooth as the flowing liquid she controlled. Her
hand ghosted down his cheek and he collapsed to his knees. He knew he was Kaien
Kurosaki, but it didn�t feel like she was touching him, but instead the ghost
she saw behind his eyes.

�I can�t be him.�

She smiled down on him. �I
would never expect you to. I�m your partner now, and joined with your
body, mind, and soul. My power is yours to use, and my forms are yours. You�ve
achieved a great deal, and my Bankai is yours to
command. I�ll be here to help you, Kaien Kurosaki. I will fight down your blood
with you and I will guide you if you need it. Do not be afraid of the road
ahead, but go forward with the resolve I know is within you.�

He smiled up at her and she knelt
down to wrap her lithe arms around his neck in a soft embrace. She looked behind
his back and gently smiled at what she saw. �I�m not the only person helping
you. Now go, and forge your future.�

Before he even had time to nod her
materialized form had vanished, back to the confines of his merged soul.

Kaien chuckled, but it wasn�t
bitter nor was it harsh. It was a light laugh from one that had been comforted
by the truth that had been so easy to find but so hard to see. �No wonder Tsuki and Masaki could get through so much by themselves.
They were never really alone.� He put his hand to his heart, and the strength
of the ocean that resided within him now rose up to touch his hand like a
physical person would. He smiled. �So much power, but like the ocean you can be
calm as glass, can�t you?�

It was a rhetorical question. He
already knew the answer.

He stood up with his renewed
resolve backing him, and for some reason the same air he had just been
breathing felt crisper, more alive. He had never felt so good in his life, and
he knew what he needed to do. It was relieving, relieving and exhilarating. He
had a zanpakutou. I have a zanpakutou!!!

He wanted to jump for joy and
scream out his happiness for the world to hear. At long last, he would be able
to fight on equal ground with any other unreleased Soul Cutter without having
to worry about getting cut. Well, he still would, but fighting unarmed against
a sword was a frightening ordeal, Ierro or not. Now
though, he could simply pull out a sword to defend himself with without having
to worry about being bedridden afterwards. The fact remained that he would
still have to be cautious because he was still vulnerable to the first cut, but
that was a minor detail to him at the moment. He knew his power was still
there, he could still feel the memories and abilities of the other zanpakutous he had been cut with confined within his
reiatsu. Nejibana had just helped take a little of
the edge off. He let loose a heavy breath and smiled; today was a great day.

He had been right, Christmas
could only get better.

He turned around and froze.

Kin had been standing right
behind him.

She grinned cattily at him and
crossed her arms under her ample bosom. �She�s beautiful. Was that Nejibana?� He nodded and tried to make his gulp
unnoticeable. �She�s sure different from Benitenchi,
that�s for sure.� Again, he nodded. They were almost polar opposites. �Are you
going to come in so you can open my gift to you?�

Gathering his strength and
willing his knees to stop shaking, Kaien straightened himself up proudly. �Actually,
I think I�d like to give you mine first.�

Kin gulped for reasons she would
never know. He reached out his hand to her and though she raised her eyebrow at
him, she put her hand in his and let him guide her to the fountain in the
middle of his family�s backyard. �You know usually we�d go back inside to open
presents, right?� Kin asked jokingly.

Kaien�s gaze never faltered from
her amazing golden eyes and again, she gulped. �No, right here is perfect.�

Then, to her utter and absolute
shock, Kaien lowered himself to one knee in front of her.

Reaching into his hakama pocket, he pulled out the small velvet box as he
continued to look up at her. �I thought for a long time about what I could give
you, but nothing seemed good enough. Finally, I figured out what I really
wanted and what the best thing I could possibly give you was. Will you, Kin
Urahara-Shihouin�become my wife? Will you marry me?� He opened the small box to
reveal a small silver band with an impossibly yellow diamond set in the middle,
something she wasn�t even sure was possible.

Kin had expected a lot of things;
she had thought she had went over every possible scenario that he might have
planned, but this, this she hadn�t even conceived. Her heart hammered
against her ribcage so hard she thought her ribs were going to break and she
had to swallow thickly just to get rid of all the extra saliva that had formed
in her mouth. She knew the answer, it had screamed
itself out from the deepest depths of her entire being when the question had
been asked. Truthfully, even though she hadn�t thought of it before, she knew
this was the question she had wanted him to ask since she was eight years old.

She didn�t stutter, she didn�t
whisper, she didn�t do any of what one would normally expect from a tearful
proposal, like this one was. No, Kin Urahara-Shihouin screamed her answer at
the top of her lungs through the happy tears falling from her eyes. �YES!!!!
YES YES YES YES YES YES
YES YES YES!!!!!!!!!!�
She jumped into him in her joy and hugged him close to her, completely
disregarding the fact that she had just sprawled them both out on the ground.

Kaien managed to untangle his
arms from under her and they instantly wrapped around her waist to hug her back
as he desperately sought out her face. It was as if they both realized what the
other wanted at the same time, because before either of
them could comprehend what it was they were doing they were kissing feverishly.
The box was still held solidly in his one hand even while both of them were
wrapped around her, and when her mouth opened to gasp in some air he took the
invitation and snaked his tongue between her teeth. Kin moaned lustfully when
her tongue was attacked by his and she eagerly fought back. Kaien was now
seriously considering ripping off her clothes and taking her right there on the
ground, but the fact that he had waited for over a month to try and make it
special warded off that thought. He had waited this long already, a little
longer wouldn�t kill him.

At least, he hoped.

They kissed for what seemed like
ages, and it finally occurred to Kaien that he yet to put his ring on her
finger. Removing his hands from their vice-like grip around her, he brought
them up to her face to cup her cheeks. She nuzzled the hands set affectionately
on her face and removed her lips from his, however grudgingly. He set his face
into the crook of her neck and inhaled deeply, nearly forgetting himself in the
scent of her. His mission remembered, he leaned up and
Kin scooted back, not entirely pleased that he wanted to get up. She sat on the
ground, both aroused and satiated at the same time,
and saw him return to his one-kneed position.

He held out his hand again and
this time Kin knew what his purpose was. She tried to keep her hand steady as
she put it into his grip, but her excitement in general was causing so much
adrenaline to flow through her system she could barely stop her entire body
from shaking, let alone her hand. He smiled as her hand was set in his and she
found it extremely erotic to see his swollen lips stretch to accommodate his
incredible smile. She knew her lips were probably in the same state but she
couldn�t care less.

Pride and adoration radiating
from his eyes the entire way, he slipped the silver back onto her finger. They
were officially engaged.

�Well, I think this has to be the
best Christmas present I�ve ever gotten,� Kin said cheekily, and Kaien smirked
confidently.

�That�s good, but I�m afraid you
can�t take this one back for a refund.�

She laughed. �I think Asuka would
kill me if I tried! But I don�t think that�ll be happening any time either side
of eternity!�

Kaien felt his arousal stir
within him and he fought it off vigorously. Hakama
weren�t really the most concealing things in the world and going back into the
house at full arousal would be mortifying. He stood up and brushed off all the
dust and whatever else that might have gotten on his kimono from her tackling
him. She had certainly made her answer clear.

He looked over at Kin and almost
took a step back from the way she was looking at him. He had never known what a
feast felt like when it was being stared at. Until know that is. He resisted
the urge to pull at the collar of his already loose kimono.

�Can we go back in now? I really
want to show off my present!� She was practically bouncing up and down, and Kaien then had another thing he needed to resist,
and that was the urge to follow what was also bouncing with his eyes.

Hey, he was a healthy
red-blooded male.

Beating down his carnal desires
and keeping the part of the respectful fianc�, he held out his arm and she
smiled before winding her arm into it and walking inside with him.

She couldn�t wait for him to open
her gift.

They walked into the living room
and a few people raised their heads to look at the incoming reiatsu, but most
didn�t pay any attention and kept on going with their conversations. A few of
the kids were already gone, likely to play with their new presents, so that
made more room available.

Asuka looked over at Kin to see
Kaien with her. �Kaien! How are you feeling?� It had
been torture to watch one of her best friends doubt himself over memories she
never knew existed. He hadn�t even confided in her about those, and
watching the scene unfold as he regained his real zanpakutou had made her chest
constrict in pain. Now he seemed fine though, better than fine even.

Kaien looked over at her and gave
her one of the widest grins she had ever seen on him. �I�m great!!�

Asuka�s eyebrow perked up
questioningly. There were emotional rebounds, and then there was this.
�Are you sure?�

�Asuka, I can honestly say I�ve
never felt better in my life!�

Kin was nearly jumping again, and
she couldn�t wait to get in on the little game Kaien was playing with Asuka. �I
know! He gave me my Christmas present and he cheered right up! Weird, huh?� she
played along, weaving the story of deception until she could finally reveal
their big surprise.

Souken
was just as confused as his wife this time. �He gave you his present? But
you�ve only gotten back now; how could he give you his present?�

Kin gave one of her mother�s
Cheshire cat grins. �But he did! He even made a big show out of giving it to
me! Wanna see it?�

By now everyone still in the room
was paying attention to the energetic conversation, and hooked as to what the
young woman may be alluding to. Asuka and Souken both
looked at each other for a second before turning back. �Well yeah, that�d be
the next step,� Asuka replied like Kin had momentarily become one of the
dumbest people on the planet.

Kin held out her left hand and
moved her fingers energetically to show off the new piece of precious metal and
stone that now resided on her ring finger.

�He proposed!�

Asuka nearly fell flat on her
face, Souken�s glasses fell out of place, Rukia spit out the tea she had been drinking, Isshin started bawling, and Ichigo and Tatsuki smiled at
each other knowingly. It would seem his previous visit to the Urahara Shop had
gone well. Yoruichi and Kisuke merely cuddled
together closer, they already knew this was gong to happen. Kaien had
asked for their consent after all. After five years, things were finally being
made right.

Souken
rearranged his out-of-place glasses. �C-Congratulations, Kurosaki.�

Asuka still looked a bit stunned,
but then her lips widened into a smug, devious smirk. That�s special all
right, she thought maniacally. �Yeah, congratulations,� she said instead.

�Thank you,� the two replied in
unison, then after realizing what they had just done they turned away to hide
the blushes on their faces.

After being congratulated by
everyone in the room, Kin was able to get her present at last. Needless to say
Kaien was surprised when instead of a box, she instead handed him an envelope.
�Don�t worry, this is just the card,� she assured him. She already knew what
his first assumption would be.

Kaien carefully tore open the
envelope and looked inside to see the standard Christmas greeting card, as
generic as white paper. Confused, he looked inside and saw just a single
message:

�Go to the training ground under
the Urahara Shop at midnight tonight.�

Wondering how on earth another
sparring match could be his present, and disappointed at the turn his plans had
taken, Kaien still managed to look happy. It may not have been a physical gift,
but it was time with Kin and right now being with his fianc� was perfectly
acceptable to him. �Thank you, Kin. I�ll do that.� He leaned down and gave her
a light peck on the cheek as a more personal representation of thanks. Besides,
he knew Kin Urahara-Shihouin never let people down.

Kin smiled, and Kaien completely
missed the sly edge to it.

As did everyone
else for that matter.

�Well, it�s almost time for the
kids to go to bed!� Ichigo announced, then his face
broke out into a wide grin. �So, who wants to play some games?�

The Kurosaki Christmas had
reached stage three, but all Kaien could think of was his present.

~~~~~~~~~

After everything, everyone had
simply taken up unused rooms of the division headquarters that doubled as a
home and went to bed, as Christmas day was yet to come. Kin had left earlier,
saying she had to go do something, and Kaien simply couldn�t go to sleep for
the reason that he still had someplace to go this night.

Where he now
found himself.

Kaien jumped down the long ladder
that went down to the floor of the Urahara Shop training grounds at midnight,
like he had been told. He was completely unaware that closing the door, like he
had done, completed a sealing Kidou that made
detecting any reiatsu that may be inside its confines impossible, just as it
did escape or entry unless allowed by the maker of said Kidou.
In other words, anything that happened inside the training ground would be
completely undetectable to the outside world, and nothing short of blasting a
hole in the roof would made entry possible.

Kaien might have noticed this,
had a major change to the scenery around him not have immediately caught his
attention. Instead of the bright blue sky he was so used to, there was a night
sky in the air above him, complete with sparkling stars and a crescent moon to
give ethereal illumination to the seemingly plain landscape. Such a minor change,
but the effects were breathtaking.

His shockingly yellow eyes
weren�t hindered by the darkness however, exactly the opposite. He felt at home
in the darkness, and even in absolute dark his eyes could make out everything
in perfect clarity. The soft light of the stars and moon made seeing everything
even easier, and he walked forward with some hesitancy. He had no idea what to
expect anymore.

Something tickled his senses and
he took an experimental sniff of the air to try and discern what the smell that
was sending his skin into tingles was. Scented candles? There was
something else there too, like an array of the most tantalizing scents had been
used in one area. Roses? He couldn�t stop his
feet from moving anymore, his body wanted to find out where those incredible
scents were coming from.

He turned a corner to a V created
by two of the mountains joining together and his breath left him in an
awestruck gasp.

There were candles everywhere. On
the sides of the mountains, on every crack or foothold there were candles,
flickering softly in a non-existent wind, bathing the already incredible
moonlit scenery in gentle orange light. The smell of
flowers was soon explained, because on the soft ground were red rose petals, so
many that they almost blotted out the brown dirt beneath them. His nose was
working overtime, and loving everything in its ability to sense. He kept moving
forward, moving closer to the end of the enclosure until his nose picked up
another scent.

Sweat? The odor was unlike
anything he had ever smelled before, and he could smell slight uncertainty in
it yet there was also�anticipation? He stopped and took another deep
inhalation. Yes, definitely anticipation. The adrenaline was coursing
through his body now, trying to make everything he had at its highest possible
awareness. Another breath in and another scent reached him, one he knew very
well. Arousal. The feminine scent burned through each
individual vein and sinew of his body and sent his adrenaline and testosterone
levels skyrocketing.

This was something he knew, it
had been the thing that had made his time of waiting almost unbearable. It was Kin�s
arousal. Breathing normally had long been a thing of the Past and now he was
struggling to keep his breaths regular and not the erratic gasps they wanted to
come in. His now glowing eyes darted around the landscape wildly, trying to
find the source. He kept his footsteps as steady as he could as he continued to
walk forward to the apex of the mountain�s enclosure.

He stopped when he finally
reached the end at he saw an extremely padded, huge cushion that was large
enough to fit four people comfortably nestled carefully where the two mountains
joined, and it too was surrounded by the romantic light of candles large enough
to last the entire night. His hypersensitive eyes zeroed in on the round
cushion-like mattress, hoping beyond hope that the source would at last be
revealed to him. The scent was strong in the air, so he was shocked to see that
the cushion was empty.

Whatever Kin�s goal was she was
definitely reaching it. She had obviously done her
homework too, because he had never had his senses so overloaded before. He
didn�t know how she was doing it, but his skin was practically tearing over his
muscles, like it was tightening and tingling in response to an outside
stimulus. He wouldn�t doubt it was because of one of the aromas in the air, but
he had no proof to back that hypothesis. He took a shuddering breath in to try
and calm himself but it was not to be.

�Glad you came,� a soft voice
greeted shyly from behind him and Kaien nearly jumped out of his skin. He spun
around so fast rose petals shuffled from the wind of his movement.

His mouth went dry.

Kin was standing in front of him,
a rosy blush on her cheeks while she looked at him with her arms wrapped
carefully under her breasts as she visibly fought off her insecurity. Her hair
was down from its regular ponytail and fell over her shoulders and back in
golden waves, accentuating the chocolate skin it surrounded. That was the first
thing he noticed, but what had taken all the moisture from his mouth and
threatened all the blood in his head to flow downwards was the state of her
dress. More accurately: the state of her undress. All she was wearing
were two strategically placed red ribbons with bows at their center to cover
her bosom and the proof of her womanhood. The rest of her creamy mocha skin was
uncovered and glowed in the candlelight, setting dancing firelight designs over
each ridge of muscle and curve of dark feminine flesh.

Kaien swallowed heavily, unable
to even speak at the sight before him while trying to wet his suddenly parched
throat. Even though he could see her insecurity about such a blatant course of
action, he could still smell her arousal. She wanted him; her
anticipation had given way to arousal over the time she had waited for him and
he couldn�t tear his eyes away from the beauty before him, corniness be damned.

She smiled coyly as she watched
the many stages of both shock and desire that Kaien went through. It was only
slight, but she knew his body language well enough. This was a better reaction
than anything she could have hoped for, and that caused any uncertainty to fly
out of her psyche. �Do you like your present?� Even she was surprised by
how sensual her voice sounded. She brushed some of her long hair out of her
face deliberately and could see Kaien�s eyes follow her hand, the hand that
still had something on it.

She was absolutely naked save for
two bows and one engagement ring.

She saw Kaien snap out of
whatever trance he might have been in and seemed to need to force his
legs to carry him the rest of the way to her so he could join one of his hands
to hers and stroke her long hair. He still towered over her, but the way he
looked at her made her feel like she was ten feet tall.

He smiled at her tenderly. �You
didn�t have to do this you know,� he whispered, willing his voice not to crack
like he knew it wanted to do.

She moved her ringed hand over to
grasp the one on her hair. �I didn�t have to, but I wanted to.� She thought
about her next words for just a second, before grinning adoringly. �I thought
for a long time about what I could give you, but nothing seemed good enough.
Finally, I figured out what I really wanted and what the best thing I could
possibly give you was.� His gaze on her seemed to deepen as she used his own
words against him and she moved the hand in her hair to her lips so she could
give it a chaste kiss. �So here I am, your fianc�. I
want to give myself to you. My mind�� her hand guided his down her
cheek, ��my body�� she moved it down her neck and over her collarbone, ��my
soul�� she continued the trail down until it was resting solidly over her left
breast and so close to the bow that minimally covered her chest, ��my heart. Do
you accept me?�

Kaien could feel the heart
underneath his hand thundering against her chest, belying the calm state of her
voice. His senses were filled with her; the truth of her words, the sincerity
of their feelings, the state of their bodies. Like he had readapted his
proposal to match humanity�s traditions, she too had adapted hers to the
customs of Hueco Mundo,
inescapably appealing to every aspect of him: the weak human, the wise spirit, and
the wicked Hollow.

He wanted her. He wanted her so
badly he could taste it. He hadn�t dared venture under the confines of
her clothes for fear of what he would do if he did, but now his hand was held
on her breast of her own volition and the flesh was softer than his wildest
fantasies. He wanted her exposed entirely to him, the selfish part of his
Hollow nature wanted all of her for himself for all of eternity. He
wanted her. He could feel his blood redirecting itself yet he couldn�t
care about the growing tightness of his pants or move his eyes from hers. She
had asked a question, and she deserved an answer.

�Of course,� he replied, unable
to form more than a whisper. �I love you, and the only reason I�ve been waiting
for such a perfect moment was because I knew�I knew the moment we went any
further I would want to hold onto you and never let you go. You�ve always liked
to run and explore, and I knew that I might be too suffocating for your nature.
God I love you, I love you so much it hurts and�!?�

Kin cut him off by putting a
slender finger over his lips while she smiled understandingly, her soft gold
eyes looking for the entire world like she knew the truest extent of the turmoil
that he was trying to convey. �Would you be running with me?�

He grasped the hand on his lips
and held it by his face. �I�d follow you to the ends of the earth if you
allowed it.�

She smiled again. �Then you aren�t
really suffocating me at all, are you?�

Understanding and relief flooded
into his eyes and he moved his hands to hold her against him, his own arousal
completely forgotten for the moment. �I do love you.�

She gave his torso a comforting
squeeze in her hug. �I love you too.�

He slowly pushed himself away
from her and Kin felt her skin tighten just from the heat of his gaze as he
visibly looked her over once again. He reached forward to the bow of her chest
but at the last second he hesitated, and she could see his hands tremble
slightly. Ignoring the butterflies in her own stomach, Kin grabbed his hand and
together they pulled the bow keeping the large ribbon in place until it was
undone and the fabric was floating to the ground. She had never felt more
exposed to anyone in her life but when she noticed the way his eyes drank in
her bare torso hungrily yet lovingly at the same time, her pride soared and
once more she felt her insecurities fall to the wind.

�Aren�t you going to unwrap the
rest of your present?� she asked with a surprising amount of mirth for the
anxiety that had been formerly coursing through her.

Kaien licked his lips to wet the
dry skin and resolved to keep his hands steady as they made their way to the
only thing left on her body, and soon that too had fallen away. Not that he had
ever had any doubts about this particular idea, but if anyone had ever thought
she wasn�t a natural blond that was immediately rejected. The finely trimmed
pubic hair leading to her womanhood proved that beyond a shadow of a doubt. He
froze, momentarily stunned by the nude beauty before him. Her dark nipples were
erect and at attention away from her large firm breasts and the creamy
chocolate skin that defined her looked gorgeous in the
combined light of the candles and the fake moon. From her small feminine hands
to her dainty toes, Kaien simply could not find anything amiss on the perfect
body standing proudly in front of him while her desire radiated from her so
strongly he could see it.

He had thought she looked
beautiful clothed, but he soon realized he found her even more irresistible
naked. She was confident and strong, yet seemed to yearn for his touch and
wasn�t unprepared to take what she wanted. She was everything he had ever
wanted and that was probably because the only thing he had ever wanted
was her.

Without even waiting for any more
action, Kin reached forward and pushed off the haori
of his kimono to expose her soon-to-be lover�s naked chest to her. Kaien
quickly caught on and helped her get the garment off and she simply tossed it
to the side and caressed his jaw-line as she walked past him and over to the
bed, hinting for more than his head to follow her.

He would be lying if he so much
as thought that he wasn�t more nervous in this moment than he had ever been in
his entire life. He knew she wanted him, and he wanted her, but he could only
hope and pray he was able to meet her expectations. God help him if she hadn�t
met all of his so far, so he only hoped she liked what she saw. His arousal had
come back with a vengeance when he watched her walk, nude, to the large bed she
had prepared and could see the firm flesh of her backside move with each sway
of her hips. She was like a walking wet dream and one little part of Kaien�s
mind wondered what on earth he had done to deserve the incredible creature
before him.

She didn�t even speak, she just
looked down at his pants before back at his face with a sly grin and the point
was clear enough. Instinct fighting off insecurity, Kaien removed his socks and
sandals before taking off his hakama and underwear in
one fell swoop. Standing completely naked before her, fully hard, he was almost
hesitant to look back into her eyes. His Hollow blood was burning, fighting off
his human fears and leaving only desire in its wake, so very quickly the young
man found looking at her irresistible. His ego took a trip to the stratosphere
under her stare.

Kin had never seen anything like
him, though she didn�t really make a habit out of looking at naked men. His
healthy peach-colored skin, so unlike hers, shimmered in the light of the fake
stars she had created and cast every defined bump of muscle he had into long
shadows that flickered in the orange candlelight. Something she found confusing
was his complete lack of body hair, but she wasn�t complaining as she drank in
the sight of his bare muscles. Her eyes lingered longer than she had though on
his manhood, and she was almost embarrassed by the amount of saliva that had
formed in her mouth. He was proportional to his height, if not larger, and she
wanted him so badly she could feel her sex throb between her legs.

She looked up at his face and her
skin exploded into shivers from the smoldering lust that now blazed in his
sensually narrow eyes. He had seemed so nervous before, but just like her, she
suspected it had something to do with her reaction. She didn�t notice the
darkness lining his eyelids because of his eyes� tattoos. She was sitting on
the edge of the bed and desperately hoping he would move, because the itch
between her legs was getting unbearable and this time she didn�t want to be the
one to get rid of it like she had had to all those years he had been away. Her
cheeks darkened when she saw him take another long inhalation in through his
nose and his eyes pinned her in place. She tried to keep her muscles from
trembling as he walked towards her but she was so excited and eager she almost
forgot that she was sitting, and that meant she was at his waist level. He
did though, and that was why he stopped before he came too close. He didn�t
want her feeling uncomfortable in the slightest. Still, he was closer, and her
eyes wandered back down him and remained there, and he could have almost sworn
she licked her lips until her eyes went back to his face.

He bent down and Kin�s neck lost
all muscle control when he set a ghostly kiss to her nape while one of his
large hands stroked down her side. She had wanted him to touch her for so long
even him simply touching her side had her whimper in approval. Her head fell to
the side to grant him better access and he took it only long enough to set
another kiss at her jaw. �Lie down.�

His voice washed right through
her like pure molten energy. His deep voice was calm, but low and gravelly, and
it set her insides on fire. It seemed to occur to her how uncomfortable this
position must be for him since he was taller than her and she was even sitting
down, so his command was instantly complied to and she shuffled herself back
until she was lying comfortably in the middle of the large bed she had
prepared. She watched with anticipation coiling within her as he crawled over
until her was above her, his hands braced on either side of her chest. He
leaned down and she shivered as she watched his muscles ripple from the
movement until he was kissing her neck again, and trailing up to her ear.

She moaned and whimpered at the
same time, both loving the attention he was giving her and hating the lack of
attention he was giving everywhere else. She wanted him to touch her.
Her body wanted to feel him. Then when his mouth had made its way to the
shell of her ear and had gently bitten on the tip her entire body shivered from
the unusual pleasure that shot straight to her sex. How in the hell did he
know I would love that!? She didn�t know, but she certainly wasn�t asking
him to stop. Then she felt his hot breath on her ear and tried to stay calm as
she lay beneath him, his entire rippling body held over hers cautiously.

�Can I touch you?� His voice was
soft, loving, and she knew enough about him to kick herself for not realizing
he would ask for permission first.

�Please yes�� Her words had come
out as a breathy plea, much to her dismay, but then he was touching her, both
his mouth trailing down her neck and his fingers gently running over the
muscles of her abdomen. His fingers flowed over her skin like it was brail,
like he was committing every bump and curve he felt to memory, and her eyes
closed in bliss as she allowed her body to succumb more and more to the man
above her. She gave a very un-Kin-like whine and arched her back up into him,
trying to get him to pay more attention to her more sensitive places, and her
breath left her in a sharp gasp and her eyes flew open when his mouth first
covered one of her dark nipples.

�Oh god�please�more�!!� she gasped as he gave another suckle and her legs
twitched in need just from the shock of pleasure that went shooting through
her. Kaien heeded her pleas and kissed his way through the valley of her
breasts until he was nibbling at the other one and his hand had trailed its way
up to its neglected twin, worrying the dark flesh until it was swollen and
tender.

She needed something to occupy
her hands and the first place they ended up was his hair and she found herself
nearly pulling on his head to get him closer. She had always known her rather
large assets were very sensitive, but none of the times she had caressed herself
even came close to what was going through her body from his mouth�s
talented work. Another gasp was forced out of her when he went back to the one
he had been massaging with his hand and immediately bit down lightly on the
swollen, erect nub. It wasn�t enough to cause any pain, just enough for her to
feel the pressure being put on it by his front teeth. She was writhing now,
needing something, anything, to alleviate the savage burning need between
her legs.

When she felt one of his large
hands graze over the finely trimmed triangle of platinum-blonde curls that
pointed down to her soaked folds, her harsh gasps became heavy moans that
echoed erotically in the enclosed space. Inhibitions gone, she ground her hips
up into his hand to try and get him closer to her wetness. He stroked his hand
down further until he had rubbed over her entire slit and her hips instantly
fell to the mattress as her legs gave way under the torrent of sparks that flew
through her nerves at the contact.

His erection was throbbing almost
painfully from the heavenly noises that were coming from his fianc�s mouth and
her reactions to every one of his attentions made him extremely gratified in himself. All the reading had paid off. He had never stopped
his ministrations on her breasts and now his manipulations on her sex were
growing bolder as well. He had never felt any flesh as heated as that which was
her feminine folds and his pride�and his Hollow instincts�took extreme
satisfaction in how wet she was. She continued to moan under him and grind her
hips up into his hand so he carefully inserted a finger into her core and
nearly lost it himself when a pleased, content hum that reverberated through
his entire body was issued from her vocal chords.

He quickly decided he would do
anything in the world to hear that sound again.

He couldn�t believe how tight her
muscles were as they squeezed his finger in wanton abandon and though her
natural functions had made more than enough lubricant for him to slide in
easily he was still worried because he knew his erection was a lot bigger than
any of his fingers. One finger became two and her moans reached new levels as
he explored within her with his two digits. Her nails raked down his chest and
left thin red lines on the peachy flesh and Kaien hissed at the unexpected
move, but it wasn�t because of the pain. Maybe it was his Hollow blood, but
having her take action like that was erotic to him. His body was aching
for attention, and even her nails were welcomed, but the noises she made more
than made up for her lack of reciprocation.

The walls around his fingers
clamped down suddenly and went into shivers and spasms that made Kaien wish it
wasn�t his fingers in her as her fluids poured out onto his hand and her climax
overtook her violently. Her body had gone rigid even though her inner muscles
were anything but and she fell back to the bed like she was made of jelly as
her orgasm subsided. She panted unashamedly and looked at her fianc� through
half-lidded eyes clouded by bliss. Her eyes widened when she saw him retract
the hand that had been pleasuring her and moved it to his mouth, where he
experimentally put them in and tasted her essence. He wasn�t even touching her,
but he had just started her back on the road to climax.

Curiosity more than sensuality
was guiding his actions, and since her smell was so intoxicating to him he just
had to try her taste as well. After his fingers were in his mouth he quickly
licked them clean. Every carnal instinct within him had risen up with the onset
of her taste and he knew intuitively it was a taste he could get addicted to.
The other part of him was flying high because it knew that it had been him
that had made that release possible.

Kin felt her skin heat up as she
watched him suckle his fingers, wet with her juices. Then his eyes locked on to
hers and she watched the light that made his eyes their so-shockingly yellow
darken and his sensual eyes were looking at her like she was something that he
wanted to devour whole. The thing that made her tremble was the way that his
eyes conveyed even if he did devour her, she would love each and every
second of it.

His heated breath was back on her
ear now, and Kin didn�t know how much more she could take. She even found his breathing
on her flesh pleasurable. Something was either seriously wrong with her, or she
had just been waiting for so long that everything that was her body was
relinquishing itself to anything he offered her. She had hoped he would be
good, but nothing could have prepared her for this, not even any of her
fantasies over his five year disappearance. She would be lying if she said she
hadn�t taken part in extensive searches of herself and her pleasure centers in desire
of their union, but even her self-imposed gratification paled to what he was
giving her.

�Can I taste you?� he asked
huskily, and she shivered again.

With a blush that threatened to
light up the cavern they were in, she wordlessly opened her legs, not even
trusting her voice to respond to such a question. She had read about this, but
from the stories at school she got the impression not many guys took the time
to appreciate their women in this manner. Her entire body convulsed when she
felt his hot breath on her exposed womanhood and she stifled a moan. She wasn�t
entirely sure what to expect, but then his tongue moved forward and gave a
lingering lick to her slit from bottom to top.

The pleasure ripped through her
body like a zanpakutou�s blade and she cried out at
the unexpected but not unwelcome jolt. Nothing else came and she looked over
her heaving breasts to see Kaien had removed his head from between her legs and
was looking up at her concernedly.

�Did I do something wrong?�

She nearly laughed aloud. She
knew she shouldn�t be surprised, after all they were both still virgins, a fact
that she seemed to have forgotten after his incredible mastery of her body with
his mouth and fingers. She smiled like she was nearly drunk from the pleasure
going through her body, and she swore she could still feel his tongue on her
even though she knew that wasn�t the case.

�Oh no�oh god
no. That felt�so good. Please�please�� What she wanted to ask him
wouldn�t come out of her mouth, only her blush ended the sentence and a
pleading roll of her hips towards him.

Kaien looked down at the movement
before he gave a grin that looked too sexy for the situation he had put her in.
Her blush increased under his grin but she wasn�t about to stop. She wanted him
to finish what he had started!

He moved his arms under her legs
until he was able to plant his hands on her stomach for support and thus put
both of her legs on either side of his head while he held her firmly in place.
Kin might have protested the way he was handling her, had he not delved back
down to assault her sex with vigor, hungrily sucking and licking the
hypersensitive flesh with a lover�s touch. Despite the fact that he had her
gripped firmly in place, Kin still wound her hands into his hair out of fear he
would leave and if possible, to get him even closer. She wanted to clamp her
legs around his head, but her muscles wouldn�t respond, and she could feel her
legs trembling on either side of his head from the homage he was paying to her
womanhood.

She was losing her mind, she was
sure of it. Nothing was supposed to feel this good and her brain was shutting
down and leaving rational thought abandoned to oblivion. Then it did get
better, and her mind shut down completely. His tongue pushed through her folds
to taste the source directly and any thoughts of this being embarrassing were
thrown out the window. All she could do was moan and scream, breathing his name
past her lips in entreaty for him to continue and he did, pushing her closer
and closer to the point of no return.

He knew there was one place very
important to a woman�s arousal, and he knew he had found it when his tongue hit
a hood of flesh and her entire body tensed instantly around him. He grinned for
all of a second before he assaulted whatever was under that hood and it grew
under his ministrations until he could see the nub clearly under the protective
hood of flesh over it. He flickered his tongue over
that spot like a candle�s flame and Kin�s back arched so far off the bed he
almost thought she was levitating. Her scream was like music to him and his
reward soon met his lips as her climax caught her off-guard. He eagerly drank
up her essence and licked her thighs clean after he had done that as he enjoyed
the sound of her heavy breathing as she rode out the waves of her orgasm.

His own arousal had grown almost
painful and his own need of relief was rampantly destroying his selfless nature.
He knew she was more than ready for him now, so he crawled back up her body
until he could look down on her flushed face as she panted for breath and
glowed in post-orgasmic satisfaction.

Her eyes caught his almost
instantly and even in her near mindless state of bliss, she could see the
restraint breaking in his eyes. It suddenly occurred to her that she had done
nothing to alleviate any need he might have been feeling over the entire
time she was basking in his attentions on her. She felt the tip of his heated
erection at her entrance and even though she had just been thinking of
attending to him, her brain instantly overrode that with a pleasure signal from
her nether-regions and quickly told her it wanted more. She wanted him, inside
her, right then.

�Kin��

She didn�t let him ask any more
questions. She wound her legs around his hips and pulled him to her, impaling
herself in one quick thrust on his large cock. Her eyes closed tightly and she
choked down the cry of pain that she wanted to utter at the pain of her
maidenhead being willingly destroyed, but it wasn�t as bad as she had thought
it would be. In the wake of her previous two orgasms, her body was so numb to
anything but pleasure she almost didn�t feel it at all.

Kaien was fighting everything
that was him to keep himself still to give her time to adjust to his
size. Nothing in the world could have made him expect this. His few attempts at
self-pleasure came nowhere close and the fantasies that had plagued his sleep
for the past five years could not compare in the slightest. She was so tight,
trembling around the most sensitive part of his anatomy in random sequences
that made not moving practically unbearable. His mind was already getting hazy
from the pleasure she was putting him through, but he still had the sense of
mind to feel concern for the love of his life. He wiped away the beads of tears
that had gathered at her eyelids and kissed her softly, greatly relieved when
she reciprocated. He could practically feel the pain and tension melt out of
her body, because soon she was grinding her hips against his wantonly, and the
shocks it sent through his body nearly caused him to collapse on top of her.

After being ignored for the
entire time thus far, Kaien had been pushed far past his limit even though he
had no regrets about sending his fianc� over the edge, even if it was without
him. Now though, he just couldn�t take it slow. He pulled back his hips until
he was almost out of her before crashing back into her with nearly no force
withheld. Her screams of bliss started almost immediately after and they
bolstered his confidence as he continued to lose himself to his fianc�. He
could feel her, feel her so intimately from where they
were joined it was like he wasn�t his own person anymore.

He reveled in the noises she made
as her voice cracked and broke the longer and harder he thrust into her,
joining their bodies in a desperate attempt to gain the release they both
desired. Her hands were everywhere on his body as he pumped into her, groping
him, caressing him, loving him. She pulled herself up by winding her fingers
together behind his neck and started planting loving kisses on his neck and
jaw-line, just like he had been doing to her originally. His muscles twitched
and convulsed under her care even as the moans and grunts she was making went
unstopped even though she was trying to use her mouth for other things.

Her body was in sensory overload,
and the feel of the large ridged organ deep inside her, moving in and out so
forcefully, had her breath escaping her faster and faster as time went on. He
was rubbing places so deep inside her she hadn�t even known they existed before
then and the previously unused nerves were sending so many signals to her brain
she could hardly keep up. She wanted to show the man pounding into her she
loved him, she wanted to show him how grateful she was for his restraint and
the way he tortured her body so beautifully. She wanted to, and she was sure
her body was doing things to him now, she could feel the pressure on her lips, but
she honestly couldn�t really remember what it was her body was doing other than
the fullness between her legs.

She couldn�t feel anything other
than the being they created as they made their bodies one, couldn�t feel
anything but the euphoria roiling through her body like a maelstrom and the way
he stretched her so perfectly. She felt so full, so complete, and as her orgasm
overtook her she did exactly like she had told him she would. She surrendered
her heart to his care, her body to his love, her soul to his embrace, and her
mind to his. Alone they were above average, but together�together they made
something beautiful.

As Kaien felt her walls tighten
and spasm around him he knew he wouldn�t last. As her orgasm crashed through
her body he too relinquished himself to the bliss that she was putting him
through and exploded inside her. She was his. His. One thing he also knew
though, the thing he had known since five years prior, was that he was hers. Unconditionally, undoubtedly, and for all eternity. He had
given her his heart, and as he gave her the rest of himself he too felt the
warmth of everything that was his fianc� pour into him. Her body,
her mind, her soul, her heart.

They were one.

Kin felt the warmth of his
emission soak her insides and she moaned contently. They had done it, and she
couldn�t be happier. It was like they had exchanged their very selves to the
other and felt no regret whatsoever. It was a breathtaking experience. Her body
held on to the rapture they had created and she realized her thirst was not
quenched. She had many years of fantasies to make up for.

She moaned loudly when she felt
him pull out of her and he fell to his side beside her, not tired, but content
for the moment in the post-coital glow of their love. She leaned her head over
to look at him and blushed at the angry red marks lining his chest. She knew
she had done those. He didn�t seem to mind them at all. She couldn�t resist her
hand�s desire, and she soon found it wandering the large expanse of his chest.

�So smooth�� she whispered in
wonder, and Kaien gave a light chuckle as his mind struggled to keep the
amazing haze of bliss.

�Having the energies of Cero
around you from the neck down isn�t very friendly to body hair,� he explained
mirthfully as he drank in her nude form, sweaty and flushed from their
exertions. Her long blonde hair was fanned around her and it looked simply
amazing with the moisture of sweat making it gleam in the light of the candles
and stars. She was, put simply, perfect in his eyes.

She gave a wordless �Ohhh� as the understanding came to her, and Kaien was
unable to resist the urge to press her perfectly open mouth into a passionate
kiss that had their tongues meeting just as lovingly as their hips had been
moments before. He knew he would never get enough of her, could never get enough of her. His erection came back full force
and she removed her lips from his when she felt the pressure on her thigh.

She looked down at his renewed
arousal before looking up at him with a sly grin on her features. �Not done
yet?�

Kaien felt the urge to roll his
eyes, but wasn�t about to do that in this situation. �I�ll never be done with
you, especially not tonight.�

Without answering Kin pushed on
the shoulder not on the bed and this sent him falling to his back, where before
he could even voice his confusion she was up and straddling him.

�Time for me to return the favor,�
she whispered seductively.

The night was far from over, and
Kin planned to make the most of it.

They did need to get up for Christmas day at his house though, but she doubted
she would be cranky even if they stayed up the entire night.

Hey�. She thought ruefully. That solved the problem of getting up in
the morning.

They just wouldn�t go to sleep.

Author�s Notes: This�ll probably be the last chapter for a little
while again, because I�m off to college again on Sunday and due to internet
discrepancies I won�t be able to update. I don�t know exactly when my next
break is, but that�ll be the next time I update. I hope this chapter was enough
to satisfy everyone for the time being, because it was a lot of fun for me to
write.

Moonymuch�yeah,
I know, and I�m trying not to make him so powerful. I�ve given both Kin and
Kaien a lot of strengths but I�ve tried to hamper that with both emotional and
physical weaknesses, so I hope they continue to be likeable characters without
turning into the dreaded MS or GS. If I ever get off course please don�t
hesitate to call me on it but I hope I�m doing a good job so far.

And JHH, yeah, those names were taken into consideration because of you, so you're pretty much responsible for them. Thank you for your enthusiastic feedback and I'm sorry this'll be my last update for a little while. As for the pairings you mentioned, I'll see how the story plays out, but I'm sure a few of them will show up, I'm just not sure how many. As I said in What The Eyes Can't See, I DO look to my reviewers for input on my stories, not just for encouragement, though that's greatly appreciated. So yeah, we'll see how it turns out I guess.

This was a long awaited chapter
in my mind and there�s still more to come, so don�t tune out of this story just
because I won�t be able to update for a little while.

Thanks for giving me your time
and if you�d like to leave a review please feel free! Until next time!
