(Chapter Three)

(Did she just...? She say that out loud?) He didn't seem to be able to keep those thoughts settled, his own thoughts wandered just from there. It was going without showing...his face was reddening slowly.

She then snapped out of it and turned to him. "So, since this is my dream. You keep that nightmare lady away from me and I um.." she thought for a moment then looked up at him smiling while still having her tinted pink cheeks. "And in return I'll be your girlfriend! how's that sound?" she laughed thinking this was still a dream she was in. but oh boy if she knew otherwise she would be so embarrassed.

"Your trying...to bargain with me? Are you...alright lady?" His eyebrow arched, she didn't seem to realize her own offer was to fast to come. His own tinting cheeks and face lined with a wandering red color. He would have maybe done it anyways! Though, he responded. 'Wh-Why would i want that!?" He didn't know these kinds of /feelings/ to well, so his response first was aggression.

Her face contorted as a raised vein in her forehead would show if it could. Her fist shook a moment as she turned away from him huffing "Oh I see! Not good enough for ya eh?!" she grumbled. As her cheeks were red. She shook her head "this is my dream right?.. then why is it that he refuses?" she then growled to herself "but.. I need protection in case that crazy woman returns." she thought again.

"Look lady, I'll protect you, but don't go around just blurting out you'll be anyone's girlfriend." His face was left red though, exasperation came from him with a sigh. It was noted his long, lavishing hair of white was like the color of snow. For a moment he huffed as well, seems they shared an aggression.

She smiled though she was a bit agitated as she turned around grabbing hold of his red kimono shirt "What's that supposed to mean!!?" she said with aggression looking up at him. As sparks could be seen flashing between them. Her face red like his though intently looking at one another.

Aggression flared in his very own face too, the exasperated expression shown there. His golden eyes left fixated against her, His wild features lavishing dashing not going to well with his aggravated expression. His hand began to clutch hers, but only with a gentle settling touch that would not inflict pain actually. Unlike his father, he bore her no aggression though, upon a first meeting, but his voice was exaggerated practically screaming. "H-Hey calm down will ya!"

Her blue eyes wide and noticed as they peered down screening upon their two hands grasping one another, her face tinted pink, her black strands falling passed her face gracing her skin so gently, waving like the beautiful waters of a graceful lake. Her attention then directed up at him locking her sight with his, clinching his hand as she did so. His golden hues trapped her, calm and waiting. Her lips parted ever still "O-Okay..."

"Wat? Something suddenly got your tongue?"

His tone was somewhat brash, quick paced to jump along that one specific area. He hadn't taken much of a time to observe her, but soon he was. And he found, elegance, and found beauty till he was left a little more so red faced. His eyes glanced away once more.

her face the pure expression of embarrassment as her hand pulled away, swift and quickly. Her eyes differed from his gaze as they departed to another scene as well. Her lips slowly part as to speak once more, her right hand lifted to brush her long black hair behind her right ear. "I uh.. is.. this really a dream?.." a look of uncertainty reached her face, lovely yet bashful she seemed in her placement in front of him.

Calming, slowly for a few moments, his own expression was beginning to ease and simmer down. Long and wondering looks from identical golden orbs for eyes watched her soon. As curious about her as she had seemed of him. All of a sudden his crimson robes were being gripped by his very own fingertips. His fingers soon rose, just one single passing movement that might convince her now. His fingertips soon began to fall along her cheek with each fingertip at a time.

"No dreams here.."

Widened her eyes did become, as she glanced locking her eyes with his. A lavishing look of surprise, and wonder snuck up on her. A joyous yet nervous occasion to her, where was she? if she wasn't in a dream. Could she possibly be in the same amazing world she had heard about in stories from Kagome's family. Now she wondered truly, blushing even more now as his fingertips graced her face. A look of innocence shown through now "Am. ..I .. in the past?.. is this.. feudal japan?.. did.. Kagome live here?" she recited many questions to be answered but the biggest one only just emerged "Is this really happening..?" as she spoke her eyes looking into his as she watched his graceful snowy white bangs drift back and fourth from the wind passing by.

It would come just as his fingertips finally nestled against her cheek, helping her realize it wasn't fantasy at play. It came also with him taking a step closer to her now, a slow look of a smile came to him. It seemed in and instant he learned to find patience. And so he spoke.

"One at a time, now I'll try to answer each of these, gosh lady. This is indeed feudal Japan, or at least that's what is said. Kagome did live here...she's my mother and Inuyasha's lover actually, well...was. And he does live here, forgot where he is right now though." He could take a breath finally at the last syllable.

Her eyes widened once more as it could be seen, a bit overwhelmed she felt. Astonished and amazed that her, herself made it there and how she couldn't put her finger on. Then she remembered "the well..." blurting things out was beginning to become a habit, though dazed as she was looking into his eyes, and still as she was she didn't seem to care about it much. This place was real, Inuyasha all of it. The stories she heard were true after all, this man before her so elegant so handsome though he resembled his father in the tales she'd heard about. A smile graced her face warm and inviting. She stared up at him and then within a single moment she had the feeling of infatuation this man who she had been telling to protect her, this angelic creature before her was real. Her face lit up as her eyes half closed a feeling of happiness and fear overwhelmed her as she then realized that woman she had met earlier was real also. No, either this was a nightmare and she couldn't escape it or this was her dream world come to life right before her very eyes and she had gained a protector of her own, just as Kagome did. Clutching one hand at her chest, her eyes then widened as that sudden pain overwhelmed her yet again, it could be seen across her face "a-ah!..w-whats happening.. .that pain.. .." she started to fall to her knees again panting like before gasping for air "i-its suffocating me..." she then reached into her shirt pulling out the pink jewel that had long since vanished when Inuyasha & Kagome killed Naraku. But now it was back and she had it, which would put a giant target on her head for other demons who would want its power.

The reaction struck a remarkable familiarity to such a reaction, even the item found wrapped around her neck. His lingering sight falling down towards her, his instant reaction was to come closer yet again now. Reality had it's own secrets, he was one among a whole world set alone to itself actually.

her eyes filled with pain as she lifted the jewel from her chest to ease the suffocating feeling that lingered still. She noticed he crept closer to her as her eyes met his she straightened up as her lips parted "I am.. sorry this jewel keeps sending off vibration like pulses... they make my chest hurt.." she lifted it to that he could see it. "I .. found it in the dirt at Kagome's old house, outside of her room.." she took a breath as it seemed it was rather hard to her to keep a steady flow of air. "i-it.. seemed so pretty.. when I cleaned it up.. but I.. don't know what it is.." she directed her eyes to him.

"It was hers, I forget what it was..."

His voice laced with chocolate soon, his golden eyes warming their gaze towards her direction. Soon he crept just in a little bit closer, his outstretched fingers reaching in the direction of the jewel, wondering about it.

Still holding her chest, weak and almost able to fall. Her knee's simply about to give out as she watched the jewel with her blue eyes, then looking up at him. "I'm not sure either.." Dark clouds began rolling in as it looked that it may start to storm soon, thunder rolled through out the sky as small drop of water gently gracing her cheeks and bangs began to fall. And soon a wave of watery splendor came across them as the rain fell like a shower all at once.

He did not like the way the rain all of a sudden began to storm and fall from the swiftly darkening skies. His ears at first flickered, thrusting off the first few drops of rain, soon it became futile to do so from such drizzling. Then he rose to speak, not wanting to be caught out here, they could just...

"Hey, we gonna stand out here all day, it's raining cats and dogs!~"

Irony, that was all that could describe what he just said.

her face reddened as she lowered it, her bangs dripping water as she walked closer to him "Where can we go?" she looked up at him with hopeful eyes as the sound of rain hitting the ground around them echoed through out the field that surrounded them.

He knew a spot, not to far from here either, it'd be to both of their liking perhaps. 'There's a village, not to far from here, can you walk?"

Bluntly he spoke now, once more concerned for her own well being.

She nodded in a sense to agree with him "y-yes, but my knee's are weak and with the slippery ground I'm not sure.." she lowered her head as she reached forward grabbing his arm as to hold onto in case she fell. "lead the way.." she spoke softly.

His arm was loose at first, then all of a sudden it began to become more or less firm though. The roaming fields of bladed green grass lay in their striding path, landing with it one step at a time. A forest laid around them, almost like furnishing their surroundings, his glancing eyes darting all over.

A lush green surrounded them everywhere as they walked, hand in hand, her eyes glanced up at him from time to time as they soon reached the road. She felt weak the jewel was bothering her heart again as she knelt down placing her hands on her knees and breathing hard, trying to catch her breath and pace herself. "oh.. m-man...this.. thing.."

He tarried almost to long really, suddenly he swept her legs without warning and caught her in both entrapping arms he had. He took her from the ground, from the bearing and burdening strain of walking as well as what she already had. From there a path began to wind, leading in strange twists and such, circling round and round slightly. The forest and trees dripping wet from the falling rain.

She held fast to him as her eyes widened watching everything pass them by as the smacking sounds of his feet hit the ground beneath her, jarred a bit by each step she couldn't help but look up at him noticing his golden eyes looking so serious, straight ahead of them watching where they were going and so alert. She smiled as she clung to him not worrying about a thing.

Footsteps.

All it was, all that came down with hailing rain were those and their soft breathing as of late. He wandered and reached forwards towards sequential steps. Indeed he wore the expression of focus, narrowed eyes, gazing forward, and things as such. They were steadily gaining and attaining faster speeds, a power walk more like it.

She watched how fast they were passing things as she wondered when they would reach their destination soon. Having a look at her surroundings noticing a village in the distance as they were coming up on it fast. She wondered to herself, wow this guy is quick on his feet. Not knowing about demons, or the demon world she was now in.

Huts, oriental and feudal style buildings came rapidly racing and forming amidst their focused eyes. Each one embellished in some olden fashion, crafted and struck from wood and certain sticks. He felt she was no burden there, so he decided to lower his pave and approach, with ease and security.

After stopping in the village, her eyes scanned their surroundings as her feet met the ground. Still clinging to him and a bit uneasy she watched as people passed by looking at her funny, and making brash comments about her strange clothing. Her face then reddened as she placed it to his chest hiding her embarrassment.

He ignored them, moving and taking it steady by stroking stride just to reach a single door crafted in some jaded color of wood. Just then, and only then it was flung open, a smiling elder lady left to greet them.

Startled she jumps slightly as she looks at the older lady. "well well, you remind me of someone.. come in come in.." the older woman smiled kindly. The lovely aroma of stew wafted out the door as they entered, Haru's eyes were wide and now a little more eased she looked around the inside at the wooden shelves and no beds. "huh?" she thought to herself. Guess this is feudal japan after all. she pondered. The elder woman offered for her to sit and eat as she handed her a bowl, then reaching to hand another to Hoshimaru. "Here ye go deary.. eat up" she spoke kindly. "now tell me why ye have come here" Haru lowered her head as her lips parted "I.. I don't know.. mam.." Kaede sighed as she knew how Inuyasha would react when he saw her in those clothes. "What be yer name child?" She raised her head slightly "H-Haru mam.." Kaede worried "forgive me but ye look like Kagome when she first arrived, perhaps ye fell through the well?" Haru's eyes widened as she nodded gently.

Gradually things began to feel more so cozy than earlier, the passing moments gave way to that. His fingers clasped the bowl with almost greedy hands, he was...quite fond of it's settling delicacy inside. His wandering eyes left them for just a few moments as they spoke, but he was left eavesdropping.

Kaede looked up at him "Well don't just stand there have a seat Hoshi.." she smiled warmly. Haru smiled at him as well. As she sipped the stew from the bowl "wow! this is good!" she sipped more, feeling soaked to the bone, her clothes wet and almost transparent being the white part of her shirt. Kaede stood as she walked into the back to gather clothes for her to change into. Haru's eyes closed as she sipped the stew until it was gone, she gasped with rosy cheeks, smiling "Ah! that was great! Thank you so much!"

(Hoshi...), the name rung and repeated in his head, still he was trying to grow used to that. He rested against his legs, gathering a respectable position on which to be lowered. He was gathering noodles through his mouth, all of a sudden loosing all sense of etiquette he just began to gobble it up.

Haru watched him as she giggled at him covering her mouth. Just then another snow white haired character burst through the door seeing Hoshimaru as she wrapped her loving arms around her brother rubbing her face against his as he ate "Hoshi!!!! I missed you so much!" she spoke with such innocence and in a giddy like voice. Haru's eyes widened "wow they look Identical.." she spoke softly. Inani still hugging her brother "Father and Miroku are outside, Father's about to come in.." she said cheerfully. Not noticing Haru yet.

Indeed, it was his sister, whom he had not seen for the past hour or so, he wasn't sure when he set out though! Though, he did not push her away, nor had he been aggressive, instead...he was found to be a loving and caring brother. A smile soon came to his face, next his own affectionate embrace came as of now, but instead he fell with silence. His eyes glancing to lead his sister's eyes to Haru.

Inani then glanced across the room, her eyes widen as she released Hoshi and started to slowly approach Haru. A curious expression, hopeful and bright as she inched closer. "M-mother?.." Haru's face then priceless yet again as she dropped it into her hands hiding her expression. "not again... " she thought. Inani reached her and began sniffing her "no.. your not.. but.. those clothes.." she looked back at her brother "What is this?! some joke?" the rowdiness of her father shown through as her eyes narrowed at Hoshi. She stood up and walked over to him "What is this!?" she pointed at her, Haru raised up thinking she was angry at her. Inani looked hurt and somewhat mad. "Did you bring her here to be our new mother?" Haru looked on as she seemed concerned and felt bad as she knew Kagome and this must have hurt Inani. Still Haru was wet in her clothes and her soft black bangs dripping water, though the fire warmed her a bit. Inani looked up as she gasped Inuyasha was coming in.

The lurking and tall figure of a man came in, his steps were cosmic even towards each and every one hailing before them. At first the familiar red, much like his son came through...then he lost all sense of elegance, that divine and breath taking moment was taken by him slipping all of a sudden. He was sent tumbling and falling in through the door, sprawled out with his hands all raised.

Haru's eyes widened as she saw him "he.. looks like... " her thoughts echoed in her own head as she knew this had to be the one Kagome's brother spoke about her marrying. This had to be Inuyasha. Breath taking she sat still. Shivering slightly, still a bit cold from the rain outside and dripping wet. her soft blue eyes glanced up at his golden ones. "he, looks like his son..that carried me here.." she thought. Inani walked over to her father looking at him. "dad...?" her eyes fixated on him and on Hoshimaru who had yet to speak.

Hoshimaru awaited their next actions, pondering about with curiosity mostly at the moment. He rose to greet the identical one to himself, at first they seemed gentle...then they were hooligans! Inuyasha without warning leapt from the ground and tackling his son. They were sent tumbling, squabbling among one another. Pulling and biting like idiots.

Haru's eyes watched them as they darted about the room, her face with a priceless expression she decided to speak "uh, Hoshi..maru?.." she reached her arm out slightly hoping they didn't harm themselves. Inani glared at the girl while watching her brother and father acting like fools on the floor. she sighed raising her hand to her face to cover her embarrassed expression.

Their slight brawl ensued for another few minutes, the sounds of strikes and clawing idiots was all to be found! Till finally, oh gosh finally they stopped.

Haru looked on as a sweat drop would be seen on her forehead as she smiled slightly almost giggling unsure of what she just saw happening, not making any sense of it.

They were leaning and sitting on the groaning floor breathlessly now, almost seeming to have let out something fun, because they were grinning like idiots

Haru shook her head almost laughing, Inani huffed at them as she went to walk outside. "father.. have a look at the girl that looks like mother.." she then walked out. Haru's eyes widened at Inani's comment as she looked at the two on the floor. Kaede then brought out dry clothes for Haru handing them to her. "here ye are, red pants and a white shirt for ye, now go get dressed" Kaede smiled at her as she then noticed the others. "Inuyasha I see ye have returned, are are ye and Hoshi Wrestling again?" Haru stood up a little weak still, the jewel wasn't bothering her at the moment though it hung from her neck visible.

Inuyasha bolted and became stoutly against both firmly planted feet as of now. Yet as of now he was soon going in, headed towards Haru's direction. He could advance on her, but yet her smell was nothing much like his wife was. Instead, he was watching, eyeing her whilst his son remained in place.

Haru's eyes locked on Inuyasha's. As she wondered why he was staring at her the way he was. "Inu..yasha?.." she spoke softly as she gripped the clothes tightly a bit nervous about the position she was in.

"Well yeah duh! Who'd you think it was stupid?!"

So brash, so eager to fling out his oddly rude was, he hadn't changed in all of these years. Those wild and golden eyes were centered on her, just without moving away.

Haru glared as her expression changed, (yup thats him alright) A fist rose and shook in front of her "why... why you!" she then got in his face like Kagome used to do "How dare you call me that! I'm not stupid learn some manners! you jerk!" she was nose to nose with him. Kaede merely smiled as she knew this definitely was Kagome's reincarnation. Haru's face was red as she huffed.

They were steaming mad, you could see it flying from their ears all of a sudden it would seem though. They were fuming and puffing with anger.

Haru stood her ground and huffed as she started to walk away from him. "man your infuriating .." she grumbled. She was starting to head to the back room to change.

"So are you, vile woman!"

He screeched that out, the heck did he call her that for though, and soon he had his back to her now.

Haru looked angered as she growled all the way to the room. As she reached the room she shut the sliding door and undressed herself "what nerve! calling me stupid just who does he think he is!?" she fussed as she took off her wet uniform and under garments, trying to figure out how to put on the kimono she was given.

His son instead came forward, a silent knock began to tap slowly against the wooden door. His familiar voice came inside, laced with composure. "Hello there."

Her eyes widened grabbing and putting the white Japanese shirt on and tied it. She walked over to the door with only that shirt on as she fixed her wet hair and opened the door meeting eye to eye with him. Her cheeks rosy red. "y-yes?"

His striking golden eyes fell on her without a single warning, he met her gaze and locked on it without a single word, not a whisper..

Her eyes looking into his, silence was all that could be heard as she couldn't look away. His gaze entranced her, his long silver hair a silo-wet of of beauty gracing his velvety red kimono. Just clinching her white baggy kimono shirt at her chest, her heart was pounding awaiting him to speak.

"How are you feeling?" He spoke towards her compassionately, caring about her, but yet he spoke to this black haired beauty with ease. He didn't look from her, still adorning his very same robes.

She smiled as she nodded "I'm a little weak.. but alright.." she felt embarrassed him seeing her like she was, only in half a kimono. her legs bare, as were her feet. Her skin glowing with the soft light of the candles in the room. Her blue eyes looking up at his golden ones. "How are you?"

His eyes had found their way gazing along her, it was not the inappropriate kind though. It was subtle, like someone beholding a river that came sweeping in with majesty. He saw her different than the others, since the first time he laid eyes upon her, but he would never say a word about it that much was to be seen...thus far. Slowly though, both eyes had returned to hers, swimming along those deep blues.

"I'm alright, don't worry yourself about me please."

She blushed as she smiled, lowering her head as she giggled slightly "I am glad you saved me.." she looked up at him once more thinking about him carrying her all the way to the village. No one had ever cared for her that way. Or done something like that. She leaned in close to him, lifting her feet so that she was tall enough to reach his face. As her eyes started to close and she leaned closer almost touching lips with him, placing her gentle hands on his face as well.

A shock came spreading along him, he hadn't thought of her advancing on him in such a way, but he didn't deny such an act either. His golden eyes soon breathing in emotions newly found, he hadn't ever been so star struck before. His hands shakily rested over hers, his cheeks both faintly crimson, he didn't make a sound, he dare not break this moment..

Haru leaned in more as their noses touched, though she was a bit hesitant breathing in his air, and his smell. Almost breath taking, her eyes opened now looking directly into his, a soft glow of pink graced her cheeks she was now a little nervous wondering if she should. Remembering her and him being together as long as he protected her, she felt she owed him something. She wanted too but was afraid he wouldn't advance to her in return, she started to lean away, her heart pounding.

Inuyasha, much like His ridiculous, almost idiotic self had come looking for them now, just when they seemed to be coming in at once no less! He decided to scream at his son, and even at her, interrupting that sweet moment to be had with.."Heyyyyyyyy! He's got someone, what're you doing to him lady?!" He took it obviously the wrong way, thinking she was trying to pull his face off.

Hoshimaru was heavily embarrassed, enough to take hold of his own flaming pink cheeks. Inside this time...he was angry for having been interrupted!

Haru's face beat red and realizing Inuyasha seen her half naked a loud yet abrupt scream was let out "AH! INUYASHA!! GET OUT!" she grabbed her wet clothes that were a little heavy as she threw them at Inuyasha hitting him smack dab in the face knocking him down she pulled the sliding door shut as she did that turning around and facing Hoshimaru, she was clinging to her shirt though it was partly undone from where she threw her school uniform at Inuyasha. Hoshimaru could see her belly slightly as well as her cleavage between her breasts shown, she covered her face feeling embarrassed.

Hoshimaru was embarrassed much like her, for being something of a spectator to her exposure. At first he froze, left and remaining in place, but he was unsure as what to do. One could even try to see him leaping forward to her, but he still had to be proper. Instead he spoke, a poetic voice brushing past his lips. "So elegant and beautiful..."

Haru raised her head till her eyes meet his. A soft voice came from her lips as her rosy red cheeks were visible even still. She moved her long black hair from her face as she didn't realize her shirt was partly open. Her eyes focused on his, a breath taking silence. Her heart beating fast as if she was about to be swept off her feet.

A chill came sweeping straight across his body, tingling and smoothly running up against his spine. No longer did his eyes see the bare and exposed skin, instead left to see her bright blues. He began to raise one of his hands, having already let go of his previous brash behavior. His cheeks reddened, easily in a flourish and sudden strength of color, as well as character. There were no distractions this time, but proposal of sorts graced his lips soon, he began to ask..."Dance with me..??"

Her eyes bright and glossed over, with a soft glow reflecting in them from the candle light, blushing a bit she smiled warmly, inviting as such as she reached out to him "y-yes.. of course.." a little embarrassed and unsure though she was, still she couldn't deny his golden hues peering into hers, like stealing a part of her soul along with his intense radiant gaze. A few steps forward as she met her hands with his.

Their fingers began to thread and sink between one another all of a sudden it seemed. Left lacing and weaving together in a single clash of two souls. A smile began to bewitch and take hold of his lips, gracing them into peeling apart to something beautiful for a young man. He had not been so close to a woman in such a way, but connected to her he was. Hoshimaru, he was centered around this spot, closing this distance in a few breath taking, but somewhat meaningless motions. Much like her, he was blushing, but far more open and inviting. Welcoming her without charge, freedom...was it's name, and free will.

Haru smiled as she placed her arms around his neck, swaying with every step as they danced slowly about the room. Her skin touching his clothing she knew now her shirt was revealing some of her. Though she was embarrassed she somehow felt comfortable with him as she ran her fingers through his soft white hair. Blushing wasn't the only thing gracing her face, a soft romantic expression was in her eyes and as a warm inviting smile found her lips she felt almost taken by him. Though he was different, he had soft white ears not like hers that were human. She felt, close to him almost overwhelmed by his appearance and lingering stare.

He was taken in by her, smitten almost it would seem, all to eager to have her touch as well it would seem. Little about him was sure though, with all of that calm composure he had, like most he had flaws, his was second guessing and confusion. Though, in this moments things almost seem to fall into place with such ease. His gaze drifted slowly down her face, passing on and on, only to end up at the same spot. Those warm and lustrous blue eyes taking hold of him. Shattering and melting away the ice found deep below, tearing it asunder in a glance. He feared this though, the strangest sensation of belonging..there with her. His own other hand soon rose, left resting on her neck, the soft and smooth fingertips soon came down.

Her eyes still fixated on his, those gorgeous golden eyes looking into hers she felt, almost compelled. What were these intense overwhelming emotions. She had not felt with anyone else, could it be she might have found someone she could be herself with, get close to? She was unsure, but what she was sure of was she liked him a lot. She smiled only to noticed his soft hand with claws gently gracing her skin, a gasp was noticed as she closed her eyes for only a moment feeling a chill run up her back as he did so. Infatuated with him she felt a deep heart felt sensation. With the silence she knew something would happen, maybe something wonderful, surprising. This man in front of her was dashing, curious and exciting in many ways. Her soft hands still entangling themselves within his white hair as she looked deeply into his eyes blinking slowly.

He hesitated, like always when something important had come his way, he didn't find himself able to complete what his thoughts screamed. His throat had a slight knot, something was left fluttering about within his stomach. Infatuation held his heart victim, and he had no escape routes now. He had only just recently known her, but yet he could feel in such a way some only wished. Inching in, soon he was beginning to unknowingly lean forward and inch his face closer to her very own.

A surprised expression appeared on her face, as she looked deeply into his eyes. Noticing he was inching closer to her she blushed slightly, her lips parted as she saw he was leaning in to kiss her. Feeling like she had butterflies in her belly she leaned in as well toward him, staring into his golden eyes, that had captured her ever still. His soft hand feeling like he was pulling her in close. It was all happening so fast, as their noses now touched she breathed in deeply and slowly her eye lids heavy "H-hoshi..maru.." she whispered in a gasp as her hands lowered to his chest her eyes still heavy and staring into his.

His lips came against hers, but in a single tap, the brush leaving something left to be desired. His cheeks burnt and were skyrocketing with heat all of a sudden, he felt weak at first, just when their noses were at first touching. He did not take it all the way though, unable to bridge that minuscule and almost microscopic gap that let them stay apart. He knew why he hesitated,but why did he...?

Haru grew weak in the knees from the peck, it was enticing leaving her to want more. Her eyes ever locked on his ever still, her lips soft and lush. Her soft smooth hands slipped up his chest to his neck as her fingertips gripped the back of his head through his white hair slipping between her fingertips. not wanting it to end and wondering why he hesitated she leaned in again placing her lips against his softly yet more deeply this time. Her eyes looking into his as they closed and she leaned into him hoping he wouldn't reject her. Though her heart was beating almost out of her chest.
