Lulled by the stillness of that holy place, the two warriors exchanged a long, passionate kiss, closing their eyes and savoring each other.
During those interminable moments, their minds seemed to go blank and the time around them slowed down enough to isolate their hearing from all the sounds of the city. The only sound they could hear was that of their hearts beating in unison.
Shioko's lips were soft and warm, as sweet as the best fruit in the world. The smell of her hair and skin was intoxicating, and the femininity of her movements drove Yoichi to surrender to her, waiting for her lips to be the first to move away.
Suddenly, after more than ten seconds, this happened and Shioko opened her eyes, realizing what had just happened. She sprang back and pulled away from Yoichi's face, hitting him with a violent slap that sent his neck spinning backward.
