Raiden no Ai

Chapter 5: With Him

Akina opened the door. It creaked slowly. The sun shown so bright that it felt as if she was blinded by it's rays. She shielded her eyes as they adjusted to the outside. Everything looked so beautiful. The air was crisp and clean, the birds sang their beautiful songs and all was peaceful. She was free for a moment and it was enjoyment with unease. She stayed on the porch, since she did not want to be killed for trying to run. If she were indeed free, then she would have went to pick wildflowers in the nearby field. She was just happy to see the outside world after being stuck in the building so long.

She heard the door creak and the sound of soft cloth shoes walking on the wooden structure of the porch. It was Hiten.

Hiten.

Akina turned to see the thunder youkai, standing proud and tall. The sunlight illuminating his figure. His face held in a slight smirk that seemed rather charming. His body was powerful, and finely chiseled. It certainly looked as if he'd fought his way to the top. His long raven hair glistened in the sun, as if it were silk. Hiten walked up a few steps and sat beside the red-haired girl, who's gaze quickly turned to the frontal position.

Hiten was sitting rather close to her, then she felt the same fear as she always had. She could not blame herself, hell it seemed sometimes even Aida and Manten were afraid of him, and their relations were surely better then hers. She gazed at him from the corner of her eye. He looked a little tired, no doubt from staying up all night keeping an eye on her. Akina leaned back and lay down on the wooden surface of the porch and put her arms behind her head. She closed her eyes and took a deep breath. She could hear the quiet rustle of Hiten's clothes as he gently laid beside of her.

"You should be tired wench." He yawned.

Akina opened her eyes and gazed at the sky.

"It's such a beautiful day." She smiled.

"I hate the sun."

"Well, what kind of weather do you like?" Akina asked.

"Why do you care?"

"Just curious." Akina rolled over to look at Hiten. She laid her head in her arm and lay on her side. The sun felt warm against the skin. Hiten lay on his back with his arms behind his head and his eyes closed, basking in the warm rays.

"If you really want to know, I like stormy weather." Hiten rolled over, his eyes still closed. His long braid swung over his shoulder and landed in the place in between them. Akina gazed down at it. Hiten opened his eyes a bit. Then he opened them fully.

"What?"

"Nothing.."

"I don't believe you."

"Why am I not surprised?"

Hiten glared at her with an irritated expression.

"I was wondering...Why you spared me..." Akina looked at the old wooden porch. "Is it because I can cook and polish your weapons? Or is it because I can lead you to villages? Maybe both."

"Hmpf." Hiten closed his eyes again.

Akina let out a sigh, tears welled up in her eyes.

"Stop your crying." Hiten said slightly above a whisper. "Be happy your alive."

He could hear the faint sniveling of the young maiden, and it began to agitate him. He made a huffing noise and moves quickly over her, pinning her to the ground.

"Look, if your not going to shut up you can go inside." His eyes burned with anger from lack of sleep and annoyance. Akina shrunk back and gasped in fear. Her eyes glisten with it, and this made Hiten smirk. He fed on fear's very essence. The anger in his eyes slowly subsided. Akina had no idea of what to say to the young, strapping youkai.

"Um...This...Doesn't look right.." She managed to say, like Hiten cared.

"So...?" Hiten said, his voice seemed calm as he glared into her eyes. Those deep chocolate eyes that radiated with fear.

"I..."

"Yes?"

"............"

"Wel l?"

"Well, what?"

"Tell me what you were going to say?"

"I don't know what to think." Akina's eyes reverted from Hiten's gaze. She couldn't bear to look at him. The more she stared into those crimson eyes, the more her feelings would change. She would think to herself how good he looked and even forget he was her enemy and he had almost wanted to eat her.

Hiten gazed at the red haired maiden who lay in fear. She was beautiful, more so then any youkai. More so then Aida...

"You've been really helpful to us. I'm surprised that you'd be willing to give up your humanity to keep your life." Hiten's voice seemed calm and friendly. Akina's gaze reverted back to Hiten.

"Yes," Her voice quaked. "And I'll help you more if I have to." Akina seemed to loose control over her voice and found herself talking barely above a whisper. Her voice cooed to Hiten. "I'll do whatever you want, for I cannot return to them."

"So tired.." She heard Hiten barely say as his body gently sunk into hers. She could feel his warm aura take over hers, power seeping through his being. She could feel hi body lightly heaving with every breath. The youkai was heavy against her, but for some odd reason, she didn't seem to mind. She could feel his warmth and she sighed in contentment. Her cheeks turned a light shade of pink in embarrassment. She could feel his warm breath on her neck as he slept. It sent chills down her spine. She placed her hand gently on the back of his head, stroking his ebony hair with its silk qualities. She put her arm around his strong neck and lay there, looking at the sun. She felt an odd sort of comfort coming from the closeness of their bodies.

Her heart began to flutter, but she would deny that it did. She could not go soft on the mighty thunder youkai, he had killed everyone she had known, and her family. How could she possibly fall for him? He had no feelings. He was cold and vicious, unlike her. She was full of feelings, and he had next to none.

She still lay there, motionless. How could she move? Her eyes began to grow heavy, as she had not had much sleep that night either. She closed her eyes and let the heavy sleep consume her. They had both succumbed to sleep, their bodies pressed together, as if they were there. They lay there, in a blissful sleep, sharing each other's warmth and enjoying the fresh, gentle breeze of the mid day air and warm rays of the sun.
