"I don't know what you're trying to do here... but whatever it is, it- it won't work." Tenshi watched her warily, waiting for any opportunity she could find to get away.
Amethyst started towards her, and Tenshi nervously took a few steps back, running into the trunk of one of the sakura trees that lined the road. Instinctively, she reached again for the communicator. But Amethyst was soon on top of her, holding one arm against the tree above Tenshi's head, and moving her hand down Tenshi's right arm into her pocket. Then she intertwined her fingers with Tenshi's, sharing her hold on the watch. "You're not gonna need this," Amethyst declared as she removed the hand and communicator, and placed them in her own pocket. She gently disengaged Tenshi's fingers from around the watch, removed their hands from her pocket, then took Tenshi's arm and held it against the tree at Tenshi's side.
"What do you want from me?" Tenshi's voice shook as she asked the question.
"Shh, don't worry so much," Amethyst whispered coaxingly. Her hand moved up to Tenshi's shoulder, and she leaned in to kiss her.
"No," Tenshi whispered before their lips touched. She squeezed her eyes shut, but like that, she could almost imagine it was Neko. She almost began to relax. *Koneko* she thought. Breathing the name as she had just about succumbed to Amethyst's kiss, she was jarred back to reality. "Dame!" she cried as she pushed Amethyst away.
Amethyst pushed her back against the tree. "Please, Tenshi. Don't be so jumpy. All I," she pointed to her own heart, "want is to make you," she pointed to the center of Tenshi's chest, "happy." She ran her finger down Tenshi's body, promising, "I'll do anything you desire. All you have to do is just ask."
Tenshi seized her wrist as her finger passed just below her midriff. "Then disappear, already!" she answered before shoving her away once more. This time Amethyst moved back enough for Tenshi to make a break for it. But Amethyst had by no means given up.
As Tenshi started to run, Amethyst grabbed her shoulder from behind and then put her other arm around Tenshi's waist. "I understand you want to stay faithful to Neko, I really do. But why can't you see? She doesn't love you. Why would you cling so hard to someone that has only hurt you?"
"Let me go, please," Tenshi whispered as tears began to fall down her cheeks. But she had stopped struggling. She couldn't beat Amethyst and couldn't run away, so she just gave up fighting altogether.
Amethyst pressed her body to Tenshi's. "Why can't you give in to someone who is interested in giving you pleasure instead of pain?" she cooed in Tenshi's ear.
"Please, stop it." Tenshi closed her eyes and shook her head. She was not going to listen to this beautiful monster. But it all sounded so simple. And for one brief second when Amethyst had kissed her, Tenshi had felt her pain slip away, the first moment in the past couple days that she hadn't been suffering. She was in so much agony, and all she wanted was for someone to take it away. If Amethyst could do that�.
*No* she resolved, even as she tilted her head to the side as Amethyst brushed her lips against her neck. "Are you sure that's what you really want?" Amethyst voice remained smooth as silk, soft enough to be coaxing, yet still self-assured that she would get her own way.
"Hai, of course," Tenshi answered weakly, as Amethyst ran her hands down her sides and hips, and then slightly more towards the front.
She tried to stay strong by thinking about Neko, but all she could remember was Neko giving her back the ring. Her mind could only replay Neko's voice saying, once again, that she didn't love her.
"Poor Tenshi. Your Koneko really shattered you, didn't she?" Amethyst said with false sympathy. "Left you with nothing."
Nothing. It hurt so much. And Amethyst felt so good up against her�. "Please, stop," she breathed, working to convince herself more than her captor.
Amethyst seemed to sense that she had all but won. "Stop what?" she asked encouragingly. She slithered around Tenshi's body so that now they were face-to-face. She reached up and whispered soothingly in Tenshi's ear, "I can make it stop right now if you ask me to."
"Please�," Tenshi started. Amethyst looked her in the eyes; trying to look her most innocent as Tenshi searched the currently dark green beauties for any sign of honesty. She was so desperate right now, that all she needed was any sign of earnestness from Amethyst.
"Go on," Amethyst urged. "It's alright."
A steady stream of tears was now making its way down Tenshi's face. "Make the pain stop. Please, stop it�." As Amethyst offered her lips to Tenshi, Tenshi's met them hungrily as she searched for any feeling other than the torture of her heart. Amethyst embraced her, and seized the opportunity to teleport the two of them to the apartment that Jasper and she shared.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Jasper sat on the couch drinking a glass of wine and wondering where Amethyst had gotten herself to, when suddenly she appeared right in front of him. His heart wrenched in fury as he saw what she was doing though. Not only had she brought Tenshi back with her, but here they were with their lips locked together.
"Ame!"
Amethyst released her captive, placing a finger to Tenshi's lips, as if a vow that if Tenshi "held that thought," Amethyst would return to them. "Hi, Jaspy," she smiled as if nothing was wrong.
"What are you doing? Why is she here?!"
Tenshi looked around in confusion. Her endorphins were running high, and she was having trouble processing what was going on, especially since she wasn't sure where she was or how she had changed location. Amethyst gently moved her into a seat and then moved behind her, wrapping her arms around her neck. "Don't worry about Tenshi here. She's just come to relieve the torment of her heart, haven't you, sweetie?" She noticed another glass of red wine on the table; probably one that Jasper had poured for her, and picked it up. "Ne, you want a drink?"
