Jun gently brought the wet cloth to Kazuya's torn chest, gingerly wiping the crusted blood from his wound. His breathing had finally returned to normal, the slow rise and fall of his chest and ragged breaths were almost hypnotic, but he was still broken. Jun ran her fingers tenderly through Kazuya's hair, trying to smooth away any nightmares trapped in his mind. A soft groan escaped his thin lips. Jun sighed, as she looked him over. He, ironically, looked so angelic. He had collapsed in her arms and she took care of him. Was that, perhaps, part of the peace he was longing for? To be sheltered?

 

Jun watched in astonishment as a low blue hue escaped the cut edges of Kazuya's massive scar. It wasn't very bright, just enough to illuminate Jun and Kazuya. The glow liquefied and melted against his wound. Jun's fingers carefully felt the cool gel. An electric shock went through her body and she quickly pulled away. She watched in astonishment as the blood Kazuya was losing seeped back inside his body and his bruises disappeared from his flawless skin. The blue hue was the last to disappear, swiftly escaping back into his body like a demon shadow against the sunlight. Jun's mouth hung open slightly. It was a phenomenon to see such ability. She looked down at his peaceful face, understanding that the devil was truly a part of him.

 

She jumped slightly when Kazuya moaned louder. Was he finally waking up? She raised him up slightly, cradling his head within her arms. His dark eyes fluttered open, confusion graced his brow as he stared at the beauty in front of him. He titled his head slightly, trying to figure out what had happened.

 

"Am I lost?" he whispered in a hoarse voice.

 

"No, Kazuya. You're here with me. You're safe now."

 

"An angel of mercy?"

 

Jun sighed. He was delirious.

 

"Kazuya, listen to my voice. Look at my face. I am no angel. I'm just here to help you. Please focus," she begged.

 

Kazuya blinked a few times to clear the blur from his eyes. His eyes widened in surprise as he saw Jun looking over him. He jerked suddenly in her arms, but she held tightly to him.

 

"What are you doing here?" he demanded to know.

 

She was stunned for a moment, but quickly composed herself.

 

"This is my room Kazuya. You came here."

 

Had he really come here after all? He had left to find an angel to save him, and he came here. She was no angel, but right now, to him, she was nothing less. Her pale skin was cast in the milky glow of the moon. It wrapped her in a gentle blue, making her seem as if she'd disappear if touched. Yet, he was touching her. Her eyes were pure black, but deep within them they seemed to be ignited in pure fiery passion. Her skin was pure silk, soft as the wings of a butterfly, which seemed to be wrapped all around his heated skin. She was beautiful. His angel.

 

He felt her heart beat swiftly inside her chest, as her slender fingers continued to caress his hair. He seemed to lean into her. Suddenly, all the memories came flooding back to him as he remembered the devil he fought. He jumped from her grasp and quickly looked around the room. His body became quickly coated with a light layer of sweat. Jun rose to her feet as well, shocked at his sudden movement. She reached out to him slowly, letting her fingers drift toward his shoulder. His dark eyes watched her carefully, watching for any sudden attack. What was wrong with him? Jun's small hand gently caressed his shoulder as she got up next to him. Her other hand reached and stroked his cheek, trying to see if he'd respond. He melted against her petite body as his hand gently came up to touch her own hand.

 

He dipped his head so their foreheads connected. He breathed her in, finally admitting she was real. The smell of cherry blossoms filled his nostrils again; she always smelled like them. His hands slowly lowered to her waist again, gently drawing her forward.

 

Pride can stand a thousand trials.

The strong will never fall.

 

"You are my illusion," he whispered.

 

"I'm as real as life itself," Jun replied.

 

"But life can be taken away, such as illusions can."

 

"If an illusion is what I am, keep me away deep in your mind. I don't want to lose you, Kazuya."

 

He titled his head slightly, studying her glittering eyes.

 

"Why do you continue to do this?" he asked

 

"Do what?"

 

"Continue to protect me, to show me compassion?"

 

"I…I don't know. I feel I was meant to."

 

"You can't save me, you know. My demise is inevitable."

 

"Why do you say such things?"

 

His arms wrapped further around her, locking her within his tight grip. Her hands were placed palm down on his chest. She was surprised at how quickly his strength had returned. This sinner; this demon; this man had such power over her; such powerful strength over her.

 

"Because you can't."

 

"And so what am I to do?" she asked.

 

"Love me anyway," he whispered.

 

But watching stars without you,
My soul cries.

 

She looked up at him; her dark eyes glimmered in the small light that was present. Had he just said what she thought he said? She opened her mouth to say something, but nothing would come out. How was she to answer? She loved him, yes, that was true, but if she told him would he run away as he had before? She sighed.

 

"Jun?"

 

She blinked at the sound of her name, and focused her attention on him.

 

"Do you…love me?"

 

Heaving heart is full of pain.
Oooh, oooh, the aching.

 

It had only been a few days. Can love really exist within that amount of time? It was a tale of Romeo and Juliet, but even they ended in tragedy. But love never drew any boundaries. Love never followed any rules. Love never faltered against the speed of Father Time. Love was just that…Love. Love was so pure in its simplicity that it complicated all actions of mortals and it perplexed even the greatest genius, yet the Heart knew its contents. The Heart knew the key to solving the riddle of Love, for the Heart pulsated with the life force only Love could sustain. Jun's heart beat this force. And her heart beat for Kazuya. Yes. She did love him.

 

"Yes," she whimpered.

 

He nodded and lowered his lips down to her ear.

 

"I love you," he cooed, kissing the lobe of her ear delicately.

 

'Cause I'm kissing you, oooh.
I'm kissing you, oooh.

 

She shuddered under his touch. She almost cried at the sound of his words. How could three simple words have such an affect on her? How could they have escaped his lips? How could they have been meant for her? Kazuya gently brought his lips down to her's. He gingerly kissed her, softly, just testing to see if she'd honestly have him. She responded, pulling up to her tiptoes to reach him. His tongue gently flicked her bottom lip, begging for entrance. She gladly accepted his invading tongue. Their tongues gently massaged against one another, gently curled around each other. Kazuya gently probed her mouth, seeking new territory he had yet to explore. Jun let out a soft moan against his mouth. Kazuya pulled back from her and gazed at her eyes.

 

"Do I have your acceptance?" he asked.

 

"Yes."

 

He gently embraced her in his arms again, crushing his lips against her own. His hands tightened around her waist as she drew her arms around his neck, easily bringing him closer to her. There bodies molded to one another, like pieces to a jigsaw puzzle. Was this perhaps a chance to be complete?

 

Touch me deep, pure and true.

 

Jun gasped in surprise as she felt his hands slip underneath the hem of her shirt. His fingers gently rubbed her sides in small circles, ever so slowly inching their way up. She let her fingers softly play with the small hairs at the back of his neck. His large hands finally made their way to her small, supple breasts. Teasingly, he massaged them through her protective garment. Jun moaned into his mouth as her arms wrapped tighter around him. She could feel him smile against her lips. He stopped shortly, wrapping his massive arms around her tiny torso. He led her slowly to the bed cradling her body as they fell against the mattress. He slowly pulled her shirt over her head, revealing her soft, pale, creamy skin. Kazuya's mouth went dry at the pure sight of her. She blushed lightly.

Kazuya's hands stroked her lower back, simply forcing her to arch her back. He reached under to unsnap the bothersome garment that hid her womanly beauty from his sight. Eager anticipation made his instinctive moves clumsy and interrupted, but finally, the cloth was pulled away from her body, revealing milky smooth mounds and pert pink nipples. Kazuya groaned deep in his throat as he felt himself grow painfully hard. What kind of woman was she to be so pure and innocent and seduce him so? Jun quickly brought his head down and licked at his lips. Kazuya accepted her tongue and lavishly coiled his against her own. His hands slinked up her flat stomach until they reached the ivory curvatures of her chest. His hands tenderly massaged her breasts, greedily squeezing them. His thumbs rolled over her nipples, pleading them to become erect under his touch. His hips slowly grinded into her body, soliciting an aching moan from Jun's muffled mouth.

 

He pulled his lips from her mouth and led flowing butterfly kisses down her neck until he reached her collarbone. Sweetly, he sucked on the saccharine flesh of her collarbone, guiding his tongue along until it reached the shallow concave of her throat. His tongue lapped at the low dip, hungrily searching for something that was nonexistent. Fervently, he continued down, leaving a trail of saliva in his wake, until he reached the valley between her breasts. Jun squirmed underneath his massive form as she ran her hands almost roughly down his back. He smiled momentarily before taking a peak into his mouth. Jun gasped and arched her body, only offering more to Kazuya's hungering love. Her body seemed to melt from the heat of his mouth and body. She cried out as she felt his slick tongue slide over her breast, running over her erect nipple. His teeth gently nipped at her before moving on to her next breast. She sighed as she felt the sting of the cold air on her wet breast and the heat Kazuya contracted on her next breast. His tongue once again rasped around the silky flesh of her chest while his hand massaged her free breast.

 

Jun opened her mouth to call his name, but instead, she sucked in a generous amount of air. She hadn't realized she'd been holding her breath. Kazuya left her breast and lovingly licked down her stomach, tantalizing her belly button. How masterfully he seduced her body. Jun grabbed him by the shoulders and edged him back to her face. She attacked his mouth with a flurry of kisses each that dissolved deep into his skin. She pushed him over and stood up. Kazuya sat up, staring at her towering form. Her hand gently stroked his cheek while his own worked up her thighs until they reached her waist.

 

His fingers trailed the waistband of her jeans until they met together at the top of the hook that tied her jeans together. Without taking his eyes away from her own, he slowly unhooked them and slid the zipper down. Little by little he slipped the rough material from her slender body. Once they were at her ankles, she stepped out of them and drew herself closer to his body. He unhurriedly caressed her sleek thighs. Jun grabbed his fingers and led them to the elastic of her underwear. Hand in hand, both slid the cotton material down her ivory legs. Stepping away from them as well, Jun pushed Kazuya down on the bed and straddled his hips between her thighs. She spoiled him kiss after succulent kiss. Ravenously she kissed and nipped down his chiseled chest. His hands crawled up and down her back, sweetly rubbing her body. Raven hair spilled across his sight as Jun lowered her head to give another kiss. He groaned at the beautiful feel of her body.

 

Give to me forever.

 

She stopped momentarily to look at him. Her eyes were ebony dark and glittered with love for him. Kazuya raised a callused hand and softly caressed her cheek. She pushed her face against his rough touch, closing her eyes to enhance the feeling. He ran his fingers down her shoulders and arms before softly stroking her neck. She stretched her neck like a cat being rubbed. Kazuya smiled softly as he watched the reaction his touch gave her. Never had he been so gentle with his hands as he was now. Never had he touched another person so innocently, so purely, so loving like he had with Jun. Never.

 

Jun grabbed his hands and locked her fingers with his. She pushed his arms against the bed and pressed her full lips against his neck. Kazuya sighed as she trailed kisses down his neck. He tensed as her mouth stopped before his scar. He lifted his head slightly to see Jun staring back at him. His mind filled with anger and embarrassment at his horrible disfigurement that would always remind him of the worthless monster he was. Jun surely must feel the same, he thought. Yet, she showed no signs of it as she lowered her blushing mouth to his ragged skin. He sucked in a breath at the intoxicating feel of her mouth. Tenderly, her tongue traced the immense scar, before filling the darkness of it with heavenly kisses.

 

'Cause I'm kissing you, oooh.
I'm kissing you, oooh.

 

Kazuya began to breath heavily as she continued to show him nothing less of true love. He felt something sting his eyes and his vision blurred. Tears slid down the side of his face, and it occurred to him that he had never once cried since that day on the mountain. She had succumbed the darkest forces in him and hadn't even realized it. He sighed heavily, enjoying the freedom from darkness as well as the feeling of her tongue against his scorching flesh. Jun slid her body down his hips until she felt his stiffened member against her. She closed her eyes as she grinded against him, earning yet another moan from his pressed lips. She stopped abruptly when she saw the tears from his eyes. She leaned over and kissed each one away. Kazuya just looked at her, not knowing how to respond. Jun shut her eyes momentarily, hearing him talk within her. What was he whispering? Connect…connect us…Jun, his strong voice seemed to command. Complete us…as one, he pleaded. Jun opened her eyes to stare into his entreating eyes. She nodded slightly gracefully sweeping her hands against the soft silk of his pants. Elegantly, she untied the sash and pulled the length of the material down his lower body. Kazuya kicked them off quickly as Jun mounted him again.

 

He sat up, cradling her small body within his muscular arms. He slowly rocked her against his own body. Both remained quiet as they became familiar with each other so exposed and close together. Kazuya began showering her in kisses once again, and she could only tilt her head to the side and lay lazily in his grasp as he suckled down her neck. She sighed in content at the feel of him. Slowly, Kazuya changed positions with her and laid her across the bed. He slowly spread her legs and pressed himself between her creamy thighs.

 

In one single, solid, connecting thrust, he was embedded deep within her. Jun arched her back and cried out against him. Never had she felt so filled and complete until she felt him. She felt dizzy from her lack of breathing as he pleasured her body. His powerful pushes electrified her body with passion and lust. With each pulsating thrust a wave of lightning felt as if it were surrounding the lovers. Kazuya buried his head in the crook of her neck and growled against her skin. She felt so good against his throbbing member. Her muscles contracted against his plethoric organ giving way to more and more pleasure for both of them. Kazuya mastered her body in a matter of minutes, knowing where to touch her inside. He brushed against every sensitive spot inside her body, making her clench tighter against him and crying out for him even more.

 

She hooked her legs around his waist and raised her hips to meet each of his thrusts. This added structure only furthered their ecstasy. Kazuya began to rock against her harder, pushing her tiny body into the mattress. Jun gripped his forearms and dug her nails into the meaty flesh of his arms. He grunted at the pain as small pin drops of blood appeared. He wrapped his arms around Jun's waist and pulled her body to his. They hugged each other tightly, as each pushed themselves against one another, creating a chemistry of fire and lightning. Jun raked her nails across Kazuya's back as he touched another receptive part of her. Kazuya couldn't bear to open his eyes as he felt her. She was so cool on the outside, like soothing ice on a burn, but inside, she was the heat of passion, which kept his masterful organ pulsating with the fires of obsession.

 

Jun forced his heavy body against the mattress, which groaned underneath the new weight. Suddenly, she ceased all their moving, only to be greeted with a wail of frustration. She looked at Kazuya softly, watching the lines on his face contort into mixed pleasure and pain. Was he honestly suffering from her lack of consistency? She slowly slid her hips up, extending to the tip of his length before hurriedly gliding back down his member. Kazuya dug his nails into her hips at the sweet tightness that surrounded him. Jun began rotating against his body, gaining more appreciative calls of satisfaction. Jun found herself biting her lips and calling out as well. Equal screams of love echoed in her chamber room, only for each other. Jun pressed her body against Kazuya as she felt herself climax. Her muscles tensed around him and a warm fulfilling feeling overcame her. Kazuya groaned at the new heat that lubricated him. Jun rested half-heartedly against his shoulder, exhausted from their long turn.

 

Kazuya lifted her body and pulled himself against her, kissing all the brackish flesh that he could. Perspiration tainted his lover and his tongue greedily licked at her flavor. Jun moaned in returned. He captured her mouth in his and their tongues wrapped around each other. With the grace of a tiger, he thrust into her again. Jun moaned loudly into his mouth, only to be answered with his swirling tongue. He kissed her passionately as his hips continued their passionate assault on her. Over and over again it seemed he went, Kazuya calling for her, Jun calling for him, their bodies gyrating against one another, their slick sweat dripping down their bodies. Jun gasped for breath, as did Kazuya, knowing their time together would come to an eminent end.

 

Where are you now?
Where are you now?

 

One final, powerful and thunderous thrust entered Jun, and they both cried out as Kazuya spilled his seed into her pure body. Jun held her arms around his neck for a long time, not letting go for fear he'd vanish before her. Kazuya breathed heavily against her, holding her body tightly against him. How it ached him to know he'd have to let her go soon. He pulled his face from her neck and looked over her. She was exhausted and her hair was matted against her face. His hands softly pulled away the thick strands of her hair from her face and he stared into her glossy eyes. She blinked slowly as sleep took over her. He tenderly kissed her swollen lips, tasting innocence and purity within them. Reluctantly, he pulled out of her and embraced her in a tight hug, cradling her worn body. He rested his chin against the top of her head and sighed deeply.

 

"Kazuya?" she whispered.

 

"Yes," he replied softly.

 

"No nightmares tonight," she cooed.

 

"No nightmares," he assured, smiling at the thought of a restful night.

 

She nodded against him before resting her head against his chest. Kazuya pulled the sheets around them, shielding them from the freezing air of the now quiet room. He listened to Jun breath, slow, shallow, and hypnotic breaths. He held his angel in his arms, holding on to the only hope and love he had ever come to know. No nightmares, he thought to himself. His dark eyes slowly closed, encasing him in a euphoric dream world where nothing but happiness and Divinity surrounded him.

 

'Cause I'm kissing you.
I'm kissing you, oooh.
