Kage and Kagirinai <private>

[Neko-Nakro]

Before she could respond, there was an intense ticklish sensation that squirmed up her sides, the corner of her mouth twitched as she slowly pulled her hand from his hair before he found the right spot. When his fingers started dancing along her ribs and down along her abdomen she began to giggle and twitch, until he hit a particaurly sensitive spot which made her burst out in laughter as she fell back. She hadn't been tickled since se was very little so this was a wash of familiar sensations as she squirmed on the floor. She made sure to move her legs out to the side so if she kicked uncontrollably, she wouldn't accidentally smack him with her powerful legs. "I-I guess i deserve that." she contniued to laugh, managing to speak as she tried to catch her breath.

[Sune&Kage]

Kage caught her so she didn't fall too far back. Holding her with he left arm, he continued tickling her with his right hand. This was another side of her he had never seen, and he wanted this moment to continue. He pulled her closer to his own hips, and was smiling from ear to ear as he continued with his mission. She was so cute, and he couldn't get enough. He tickled her a bit more, then stopped. Looking right into her eyes, and pursing his lips to his ever growing smile. Thinking of what to say to her, it wasn't like him to be without words. He allowed the silence to pass, maybe she was thinking the same thing he was. He wanted to kiss her, but he also felt other emotions. What she did to him was like non he had ever felt, and he wished the moments they would share in this house would last.

[Neko-Nakro]

huffing as his tickling slowed to a stop, she gained controll of her laughter, Kage brought such life back to her empty life, so much joy, things she thought she would never have or experience again. This was to truly live and not merely exist, he was a true reason beyond her desire for vengeance. Closing her eyes as she caught her breath from both laughing and the intense interaction before hand. As Kagirinai looked Kage in the eyes, her own smile grew from her usualy small smile, she was completely at ease in this moment. She then laid her head back, stretching her neck a little as she closed her eyes and chuckled. "Two beings that one would normally not even think were ticklish, we must seem quite strange... If it's wtih you though, I don't mind being strange." Her heart eased down to a normal tempo, as she took in their relationship into a complex manor. "The things you make me feel, are so many, wild, and yet tame at the same time... both curious and shy, excited, and safe.. all of them at once is so weird, but i love it. You challenge me in ways I would usually avoid." It was true, she would normally not allow anyone touch her, much less the ways he had, and when he did, instead of feeling fear, she felt overjoyed.

[Sune&Kage]

"Neither do I..." His eyes mirrored her being as she spoke, and he blinked as she relayed her emotions to the nights events. "I don't know how you do it is that you do either, I am usually not usually like this. At least not embracing humanistic emotions." And it was true, he hadn't had the fight rage in him, not since he first realized he loved her. It didn't occur to him till this moment that she had calmed the fight, and the hurt. This only proved she was meant for him, and to be his one and only.

Kage looked down from her face, to her dress. He really hadn't paid that much attention to her cloths, and wondered if she would allow him to give her a gift. It was something he always wanted to buy for his wife, but it never came to be in her possession. He had paid a trader for it, and it had arrived after the village was destroyed. The sales men was going to give him his money, but Kage had insisted he still wanted it. Even after he had buried his wife, planning to put it with her, he couldn't bring himself to do it. This is what it had been waiting for, for Kagirinai. "May..., May I give you something?" His voice seemed a little more serious, wishing she would not object once she saw what he had for her.

[Neko-Nakro]

Kagirinai sat up slowly, her eye contact never breaking, his words, they were true. Humans were the ones who usually felt this carefree. "I think... that we deserve the feelings though, humans shouldn't be the only ones who feel this way. So I'm glad I bring a sense of peace to you. That allows you to just relax." As she listened to his request she noticed how he had taken a look at her dress, it must seem so plain, by now probably a bit dirty and torn in places too. His tone was serious, nodding her head softly, Kagirinai put one of her hands on top of Kage's, her smile widened a bit as she spoke again. "of course, I'd love a gift from you." She felt bad not having anything to give Kage, until she began thinking back. Her mother had once given her. A trader they had given ointments to, he had paid in a mixture of cloths, and a pendant. The cloth was destroyed, ruined, but her mother gave her the necklace as a gift. She held onto it ever since, feeling it was a good luck charm of hers. "I actually have something for you too. I've had it with me ever since I was small." She slowly moved her other hand into a pocket and pulled out the pendant, It was a ring of obsidian, finely polished. Wrapped around the obsidian ring was a dragon brilliantly carved, and made of silver, it's tail spiraled up one side of the curved glass, the end of it creating a loop for the strong twine that gave it a rustic, but beautiful appeal to it. The years had been kind to it, for Kagirinai kept it nice and clean, polishing it ever so often.

Holding out her hand, the gril offered it to Kage with a loving smile. "I want you to have it, so no matter what, in a sense I will always be with you." the twine hung over the outer edge of her hand as she waited for Kage to take it, not really wanting to accept no as an answer.

[Sune&Kage]

Kage looked at her hand, blinking in a surprised manner. No one had ever given him a gift, and he was confused in the moment. He didn't expect her to have something for him, and he had a pure look, like he had been taken a back. With his right hand, he grabbed the twine of the necklace. Pulling it slowly from her hand, he watched as the pendent fell to the length of the twine. It was amazing, and he smiled without thinking. He liked it, and quickly went to work putting it over his head. It came to rest perfectly on his upper chest, and he looked at it happily. After a moment he looked at her, and his smile grew. "Thank you, I really like it!" The tone of his voice was happy, and it conveyed his emotion very well.

Looking over to a small cubby inside the wall to their left, he moved his eyes back to her. "Over there, you'll find a parcel. Open it, and inside is what I wished to give you." With that, he pointed in the correct spot so she knew where he was talking about. He wanted her to open it, and to see the look on her face. The kimono that lay inside was perfect for her, and would amplify her beauty. It was the color of pink like the wild flowers that used to grow near the village. It's print had flowers spread across almost every inch of the kimono, and would look lovely with her hair. It's pieces, and layers were of light greens and dark purples. He hoped she would like it, and would wear it.

[Neko-Nakro]

A smile of sheer joy spread across Kagirinai's face as he put on the necklace. "It's perfect for you. I'm glad I kept it." As he pointed over to a particular area, her eyes made out the shape of the parcel. A sense of deep curiosity overwhelmed her as she got to her feet, dusting herself of. She strolled over to the corner humming happily, a soft loving melody. Her steps were light and almost dance like as she made her way to the spot. Picking up the parcel she made her way back over to Kage and sat beside him. It looked like he had it for some time, but the covering was still in really good condition since it remained out of the weather here in this house. Looking up at Kage she just continued to smile, that wide, almost child like smile before looking down at the item on her lap and began to untie it as calmly as she could. peeling away the wax paper se looked closely. On her lap was a beautifully made kimono, the fabric looked to be of high grade silk, the floral pattern was bright and beautiful. Much better than her simple little dress she was wearing. She had a kimono when she was little but nothing this elegant. Her fingers gently went over the fabric, trying to find words to explain her gratitude. Sadly it fell short, to a simple comment. "It's gorgeous..." she said breathlessly, a dark blush formed on her cheeks as she realized that she had forgotten how to tie the bow of the sash, "I.. Might need a little help with it after I get it on. I haven't worn a kimono in many years." She said softly, Kagirinai's gaze returned to Kage the slightly embarrassed blush still apparent on her cheeks. "Where shall I put it on?... If i do it in here you have to promise no peaking." she said softly, the idea of even doing so made her face redden more.

[Sune&Kage]

Kage was glad she liked it, and couldn't wait to see it on her. A light blush crossed his cheeks at her asked if he could help her, and promising not to peek. He wouldn't, that kinda thing didn't do anything for him. He nodded, and positioned himself so she could change. Turning his back to her, and allowing her to have the privacy she needed. "It's been a while since.... I helped my wife tie her's, but I think I remember." With the word wife, a hint of sadness creeped into his words. It was obvious some part of him missed her, even though it wasn't something he would usually openly admit. Claiming he didn't call the memories his, but in fact, no matter who he was. He once shared this house with his wife, and child. "I won't peek, I promise. Just tell me when you are ready for me to look, and help you." He had some excitement in his voice now, directed to her. Hoping she would be excited also, she was sure to look so much more beautiful in the kimono!

[Neko-Nakro]

The slight hint of sadness in his voice touched her heart as she watched him turn around, giving a small smile. "Alright then." She said happily. At first she was calm, but clearly happy. As she turned her back to him as well she began to pull off her dress, there was now a light scar above her heart from her wound that he found her with. The tohught that he had found her, gave her a second chance at life, and everything from then on made her heart start to race a little, as her old dress fell to the floor, it made a very soft sound, since there were sitll a few things in the hidden pockets. Pulling out the first layer of the Kimono outfit she began to put it on, the soft texture on her skin made her tingle, it was such an unusual feeling to have such soft things touch her. Her heart race only increased as she slid on the remaining layers, pulling the left side over the right edge a bit. It fit her prefectly which only made her heart pound louder, excitement over something so simple, but it came from Kage, so it was different, this was how she was suppose to feel. pulling her long lavender hair from under the clothing, she then pulled it over her shoulder as she tunred around. "I am ready for your help now Kage." her voice was showing her excitement as she picked of the sash that would go around her mid section, Her silver eyes watching her beloved, those silver orbs filled with passion, and unconditional love.

[Sune&Kage]

Kage listened as her dress came off, and hit the floor hardly making any sound at all. He noticed the change in the other heart beat in the room, it got louder in an instant, she must like the kimono! Once he heard her voice, and her words, he slowly turned around the the beautiful sight. He was right, she look ravishing in it, and it fit her perfectly! His expression didn't change, as he got to his feet. Slowly walking towards her, his breathing got shallower. Like he was forgetting how to breath, he was entranced. He didn't say a word as he started putting together the layers of the kimono, folding the obi, and wrapping it around her waist. He was being very precise at his work, but his touch was gentle. Only a few times did he tug a little, but this was normal when putting together a Kimono. Moving the obi so it faced her back, he finished the little details, then took a step back. Looking at her, and her beauty. Maybe he had bought this for her, not knowing it at the time, but it seemed like it had been destined to be her's. "Finished.... your so beautiful..." His words were broken a bit, from being in the trance like state still, as she stood before him.

[Neko-Nakro]

The tugging and various movements didn't bother her, she remained quite still. When he spoke her heart fluttered a bit and her cheeks began to turn a light pink again. "thank you, I love it. It's amazingly soft... I've never worn a kimono with such a texture before." Taking a hand and pulling her hair back behind her spinning slowly with her arms out to give him a full view of her in the Kimono from every angle. "It's so light." To keep her wings from messing with the outfit she had them disapate, they were still there, but hidden. Stopping where she was facing Kage again, Kagirinai held out both her hands for him. Her heart demanded that he be close, that he touched her. "I will take great care of it, I promise." she said excitedly, closing her eyes and giving a brilliant smile.

[Sune&Kage]

Kage watched as she spun around, wondering if he had a mirror anywhere. Then noticing her hands, he took them without hesitation. Pulling her close, he picked her up, holding her around her waist. Looking into her eyes, he smirked. "I know you will, and I am glad you like it. It was almost like it was made for you..." He held her against him, with her feet off the ground. He smiled as he started to slowly dance with her, spinning ever so slightly. He had never danced with a women before, not in this new life. But he knew the steps, and had always wanted to.

[Neko-Nakro]

Kagirnai gave a musical laugh as they began to dance, while Kagirinai had never properly dance before, or learned how to, she followed along, matching his stride and steps perfectly. It was almost crazy how in tune she felt with him, but it was right, everything aobut this was perfect and serene. While things wouldn't always be this peaceful and perfect, she owuld cherish every second, and never forget every moment with him. This was the true reason for existance, not power, money or fighting, just being with the one who made you feel like the center of everything.

A few weeks had passed and their bond had only grown stronger, often palying games of chase, and cat and mouse. She had gotten better at thier simple little game, and often times she would win as much as he did. Everything about him was so thrilling, sowild and unpredictable. Whenever she would feel a pang of sadness he seemed to sense it, and would hold her, no words just held her, understadning why she was sad. Those memories owuld probably never leave her so often times she would loose her composure, his warm embrace, and soft words were the only things that brought her back from that dark sad place. without Kage, Kagirinai felt she would loose hope and reason, her heart would become cold, bitter, and angry again. The world would once again become a living hell to her.

Now she was currently walking beside Kage, her stride was calm and relaxed as they headed towards a wasteland. Her next target was deep within. She was currently in her demon form, her powerful body moved beside him, the muscles moving with ease, and her wings flat on her back. Right beside him her shoulders were now at his height, her long powerful neck held her streamline equine head up proudly. until she leaned down and playfully nudged him with it. watching him stumble a little, her eyes showed playful amusement as her tail flicked from side to side. She had become braver, and a bit more mischievious in their time together, this was just one of a few small examples. Kagirinai did this to help break the tension, and ease her nervousness.

At first she had been irritated that the scar had begun to show so porminantly on her black hide, it was insulting to see her beautiful form blemished, every once in a while her thoughts would drift to it which would make her eears go back in aggitation and shake her head. She sohuld had just used her lance to kill them all, to wipe those silly mortals away without a single effort.

Taking a deep breath she watched Kage curiously, wondering how he would react to her surprise play, she felt confident about her playfulyness, and it was easy to tell with though vivd emotional eyes that remained that brilliant silver even in this form.

[Sune&Kage]

Kage smiled as she nudged him, and raised his hand to run his fingers through her mane. Their last couple of weeks had been wonderful, and they had learned so much of each other. It was the beginning of a new life, for both of them. With each other, anything was possible. Kage had even thought about asking her to marry him, but wasn't sure if it was necessary. They had pledged themselves to each other, and that in itself was like the vows at a wedding. He wan't in any hurry though, things were still so new. And their moments never seemed to end, as it should be. He hadn't had any conflict in himself, and it was all due to his beloved mate. How he adored her, and grown much more in love with her everyday.

"What shall we do today? I am sure more fun is in store, knowing you..." He had been smiling for weeks it seems, no monstrous grins, it had seemed like his demon side had been dormant. Only peeking through in little moments, then going back to sleep. He didn't mind, nothing they had been doing required him to become shadow. He knew this easy way wouldn't last forever, but he had been eating it up as much as he could.

He played with her mane, resting his head against her's. He didn't want to break away from her, in some moments he wished he could be apart of her. That's how much he longed to always be close with her. She was his now reason for rising, and living. He wouldn't let anything change that, it took him hundreds of years to find her. Now that he had her, she would always be his.

[Neko-Nakro]

He asked such a question and rested his head agianst hers she closed her eyes, her heart sinking a bit. She wanted every day to be nothing but fun and games, but after picking up a familiar scent, such a thing wouldn't be so. "Nothing fun this day sadly my love.." As she said this her heart faltered a bit as she rubbed her head agianst his. "I caught a scent from that day.. whoever it is, they were there that night, and.. I can't let them go, I just can't forgive them." Her voice in this form was almost earthreal, like she was balanced between a realm of shadows and the physical world. "There seems to be another a few days east of here. I wish to end this, I don't think i'll ever find peace if I don't." Opening her eyes slowly she looked at him, while her face oculdn't show emotion, her eyes held a glimmer of pain and sorrow. "I am sorry kage." She turned her head away and looked in the direction of the desolate landscape in the distance, nothing was growing there anymore, everything had died many years ago, the scent of decay was becoming heavier the closer they came to the area. Their games in a way prepared her, made her faster, stronger, and gave her a stronger boost of energy in her human form. She felt with him by her side, she could take on everything that would be thrown at her, she would not let herself become distracted and her thoughts muddled like before, no this time she would rip them apart. Kagirinai would refuse to let them touch her and mess up the precious gift he gave her, the only thing anyone had simply given her. After this, maybe a hunting game, to relax and just enjoy themselves. but for now her focus would be fighting that demon.
