Rock Climbing (2/2)

"Ahh!"

She shrieked when she felt herself lose her footing.

When Kazuya looked down, he noticed one of her feet hanging in the air while she balanced herself desperately.

He quickly went back down to her and came closer. He wasn't too worried since even if she completely let go, the harness would catch her.

"You okay?"

"Yeah…" She was embarrassed at her mistake and looked to the side.

"I'm sorry. I pushed you too much and you ended up putting too much pressure on one of the rocks." Kazuya freed one of his hands from the rocks and caressed her head lightly.

"Mhm…" She agreed that it was his fault.

"Put your foot here." Kazuya moved to another area and guided Chizuru to move to the spot where he was standing.

"You want to take a break? Or do you want to continue?"

"I can continue." She was resolute.

"You sure? This is basically just practicing. I don't you the overtire yourself before the shoot."

"Don't worry so much. I'm fine. Go on. I'll follow behind."

The rest of the climb went by without much incident and Kazuya and Chizuru both reached the top of the cliff.

"How was it?" They were both holding hands at the edge of the cliff while admiring the amazing view from the top of the cliff.

"If there wasn't a certain someone distracting me, it would've been much smoother."

"What?! Who was it? Tell me. I'll beat up that asshole." Kazuya emphatically looked around.

She lightly punched his shoulder when she saw his antics.

"Haha… You had fun, didn't you? And you felt it, right? That rush of doing something so risky at such a dangerous location."

"…We could've died, dammit!" She snapped.

"No, we wouldn't. The harnesses are there for exactly those sorts of accidents." He shrugged.

She narrowed her eyes at him and huffed to the side.

"What? Are you pouting you big baby boo?" Kazuya brought his face in front of hers.

"Is that supposed to be a reference? You say that so much…"

"Something like that…" Kazuya looked away. He wasn't willing to accept that he still watched kids' movies. They were sort of a guilty pleasure for him.

'She must never find out about my tears shed over the third one…' He closed his eyes and made an expression of great pain when looking at the sun on the horizon.

'I want a dragon for myself too…' The kid inside him was unreasonable.

"All right, let's go down." Kazuya abruptly grabbed her and jumped off the cliff.

"Ahhh… Kazuya! I will kill you." She clung to him for dear life.

In the panic-inducing situation, she didn't realize that she was also connected to the harness, and could only cling to Kazuya.

Meanwhile, Kazuya enjoyed the feeling of her amazing body as she hugged him tightly while he rappelled down the cliff.

She was tightly hugging him while her arms and legs were tightly wrapped around his torso. She had her eyes closed tightly as she buried her face in the crook of his neck.

"Honey, you can let go now…" Kazuya whispered in his ear when he reached the bottom of the cliff.

Chizuru shakily opened her eyes and seeing the solid ground almost made her cry.

"I hate you!" She bit into Kazuya's shoulder.

"Oww…" He winced.

'Worth it.' He didn't regret a thing.

They spent the rest of the day working out the terrain for the shooting while Chizuru took another lap or two up and down the cliff, just to get practice.

The crew was impressed by her dedication since she didn't need to get so much practice for the course of the cliff.

This same cliff had bungee jumping, so the crew spent the entire day planning the various things.

Kazuya was also able to get a couple's experience of bungee jumping with Chizuru.

For that, the harness was made to accommodate two people instead of one. They were both attached together in the harness while hugging each other.

"Seems a bit kinky, don't you think? Tied together while jumping off a cliff, unable to separate from each other, otherwise, we'll fall to our deaths. Feels exciting…" He whispered into her ear.

She didn't say anything and just held on to him tightly.

When they jumped down the cliff, Kazuya tried something. He kissed Chizuru while they were in freefall.

That was when he realized that as sexy as the concept sounds. It's horribly risky and not at all fun. He was barely able to prevent his tongue from being bitten off by Chizuru.

He was glad for having the kissing mastery skill for a whole other reason today.

On the other hand, having his girl wrapped around him while freefalling was a uniquely amazing experience for Kazuya. It gave him an amazing rush that he absolutely loved.

The next two days were spent at this location, they had to retake the scenes quite a few times since it wasn't easy to get a lot of good shots in such rapid motion.

These scenes were focused around Chizuru so the rest of the cast didn't have to do much for the two days. They mostly tagged along for the amazing views. Especially since the trip was completely paid for by the producer.

Kazuya was looking at upward of two hundred thousand dollars of expenses for the movie. Which was quite a bit for an indie movie. Especially since he hadn't hired any big expensive cast or camera crew. He knew that he could make a masterpiece with any decent group of people. He had that kind of confidence in himself and his entertainment knowledge.

Kazuya also had to deal with a pestering Ruka who wouldn't let him go. Every time Chizuru left him alone or was busy, she'd stick to him and start begging him to do all those things with her too.

He kept deflecting her by saying that she had to get permission from Chizuru. Which was working for how.

Kazuya wouldn't be caught dead admitting it, but Ruka's pestering and liveliness were a breath of fresh air for him, and he kinda liked her attention.

Kazuya also missed having Mami around since he hadn't had any time to see her since the shooting started. He was still talking to her every day since the seal was still doing its job and she had to ask him to do her business.

'I should take Mami out on a date when I get back…' Kazuya also wanted to take Mami out since he wanted to show her some love.

They had gotten pretty close physically but there was an aspect of emotional connection that he was missing. He wanted to connect with Mami emotionally. He knew that she was just a broken girl with a lot of trauma. She'd suppressed it all under a persona of a manipulative devil but he'd seen through a bit of her mask.

'There's quite a bit of stuff to unpack with her… I don't regret using the seal to completely keep her under my control, but I'm not going to rely only on that forever. She deserves my love too… My heart is big enough to love many girls… Umu.' He nodded to himself inwardly.

'Fucking hypocrite.' He knew that he was a fucking hypocrite and an asshole.

After the cliffside activities, there was also a skydiving scene that had to be shot

For that though, they weren't going to go for real skydiving. Instead, they went to an indoor skydiving place where they were going to film their required scenes.

It was a much cheaper and easier-to-shoot alternative to jumping off a plane.

The indoor skydiving arena worked based on huge fans that were embedded in the floor. They worked to propel the people into the air.

When everything was done and the two days were over, everyone went back to Tokyo.

Kazuya had given the crew a holiday for two days since everyone was tired after traveling for so long.

Kazuya and Chizuru though had different plans. He had already packed everything that was needed for their second destination.

They were going to do their couples trip there while also shooting the scenes.

It was also going to serve as a getaway from the city life as the place they were going was mostly a plains area with an amazing luxury resort that Kazuya had booked.
