Chapter 11: Lightning Strike of Love

"Hiten.." Akina said his name, seeming to question him.

"Yes, Akina?" He asked, his features seeming softened against the pink of the cherry blossom trees.

"How do you feel?" She asked.

"About?" Hiten replied.

"I don't know much about you...Not that you should tell me, I just wanted to know a little about you." Akina said.

"There's nothing really to tell." Hiten walked over to a small outstretched dock and sat at the end.

Akina walked after him. "Surely there's something. I mean, don't you feel lonely being by yourself."

"I'm not by myself. Manten is there." Hiten replied.

"You think he's the only one who understands you?" Akina asked.

"Gee, you sound like you care." Hiten said somewhat sarcastically.

"I do."

Akina sat beside of Hiten she put her hand on Hiten's shoulder.

"I know how it feels to be lonely and long for someone who understands. I'm there for you, even though I'm a human and you are a youkai..."

She let out a small gasp as she could feel Hiten's hand atop hers. She could feel her expression soften as she looked into Hiten's eyes. His eyes seemed full of sadness now.

"Akina..." Hiten frowned. "I have a deep sadness, Manten and I...I never thought...That someone would look at me as more then just a killer."

Hiten closed his eyes and his gaze fell upon the ground.

"Hiten..."

Akina's face became saddened. She could feel Hiten's longing. The longing to have someone care for him. This is why she had been spared, the companionship. Sure she had been treated unkindly, but Hiten had floored Aida for trying to bite her. He must have cared to some extent.

"I think your much more then just a heartless killer. You have feelings too, you're just misunderstood. People hardly ever get to see the real Hiten. They only see this youkai who has uncontrollable rage."

Hiten looked at her with a look of confusion. Why was she comforting him after all he had done to her? He had offered no comfort, and no love. He had not offered kindness until this very day, and yet she seems to understand the thunder youkai. It was not as if he had someone to be intimate with. It seemed as if Hiten was answering Akina's question.

She asked if he could love her, and he said he thought he could. His answer was being decided as he spoke to Akina.

"Akina..." He looked into her eyes. He almost shyly put his hand up and touched the side of her face. She put her hand atop his and smiled warmly at the young youkai.

"You don't have to be lonely. I'm glad that ..." She trailed.

"I never thought I could feel this way about anyone..." Hiten said, barely audible.

Akina lightly squeezed his hand. Hiten could feel a warm wave course throughout his body. He could feel everything being lifted, the sadness, the grief and the anger, savage and killing instinct. He seemed to transform into a completely different person before her eyes.

"It's not easy to be a killer. "

"I know how you feel, I'm so alone and frightened. I'm afraid that someone will find out, and they'll come after me. I live in guilt, and I am not strong." Akina told Hiten, a single tear ran down her cheek and on to Hiten's hand.

"You don't have to be, I'm here. I can protect you."

"You may be able to protect me, but it means nothing to me if you can't return my love. You may as well kill me, because it feels no different." She told him.

"I think I've made up my mind on that." Hiten told her.

All the time, he was staring into her eyes. He could feel her pain, and it was much similar to his own. He really had no one to be intimate with, due to the fact that he had killed them all. He never gave anyone the chance to get close.

When Akina had come along, he had just wanted an indicator to point he and Manten to beautiful women to devour. Soon, Akina became more of a companion then a hostage, and soon he began to forget about killing her.

Their eyes met in an endless loop of love, understanding and comfort. They seemed to be lost in each other's gaze for quite sometime. The eyes of the youkai seemed soft and gentle, this was a look unlike any Hiten had ever given her. Akina's were filled with love and compassion, Hiten couldn't take his eyes off of her.

He had been a bit confused and he seemed like he was falling in and out of love. He didn't know if it was true or the fact that he wanted support or it was how he really had felt.

Their heads seemed to draw inward. Their lips touched and Akina let out a small giggle and opened her eyes half way. She could feel Hiten's lips brush across hers when she spoke.

"Something wrong?"

"No."

Hiten leaned in and kissed her passionately. Akina could feel his hand move to the back of her head and pushed it inward a bit. This caused Akina to brace herself on Hiten's chest. Hiten ran his hand through Akina's long, fiery strands.

Hiten laid back on the dock, bringing Akina with him. He sighed in contentment as the two bodies pressed together. Akina was a bit surprised at his actions. She gasped a bit and Hiten wrapped his arm around her back.

"But...Hiten..." Akina said a bit in surprise.

"Yes,"

"You wouldn't be disturbed?" She asked.

"Why would I be? I know my feelings now." Hiten slightly smiled.

"But I'm a human...N...not that I am complaining or anything!" She seemed to respond in a somewhat panicky voice.

"Why do you complain? I thought this is what you wanted." Hiten told her.

"You don't mind if."

"I don't give a damn about any of that." Hiten said, pulling her closer. "I just want to be with you."

"Really?" Akina asked.

Hiten sighed.

"Must I repeat myself?" He asked, seeming agitated slightly.

"No." Akina told him as she reached down and kissed him gently on the lips, tasting the youkai's sweet lips and mouth. Hiten could feel his lips burning hot from the kiss. Feelings coursed through him, like nothing he's ever felt before.

Hiten threw both arms around Akina and began to kiss her passionately. He began to let his hands run about her body as she amplified the passion within the kiss. She could hear a very small moan from the thunder youkai. He clenched her kimono tightly and pulled her into his body. He began to kiss and nip her neck slightly, being careful not to pierce her skin with his fangs.

"Oh Hiten..." He could hear, barely above a whisper.

Hiten and Akina lay there in bliss. Each understood the other's pain in an odd sort of way.

They sought each other's comforts and the factor of human and youkai did not matter to them. Hiten had never had such a lust for a human. Most human females were eaten by Manten and himself. That didn't matter now.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ *~*~*~*~*~*~*~* ~*~*~*

Hiten and Akina began walking back to the drab building once again, hand in hand and walking very close to each other.

"Hiten. Do we have to tell?" Akina trailed.

"Manten?" Hiten asked.

"Er..."

"He won't mind." Hiten assured.

He knew that Manten was very understanding of him as a person. He would understand. He and Hiten were close for siblings and they understood each other and accepted each other as equals, regardless of looks. Regardless of anything, they would always be there to support each other.

The gray puffy clouds began to rumble. Akina looked up, she could see certain areas of the sky. Hiten sniffed the air.

"Looks like we are about to have a rainstorm." He said lowly.

"Ah," Akina let out a sigh. " The air always smells so good when it rains."

Akina leaned her head back as a small crystal raindrop hit her on the tip of her nose. Akina shook her head. Hiten glanced at her for a moment, as she brushed the raindrop off of her nose.

"I felt a rain drop." Akina said, almost giggling at the look Hiten gave her. Hiten continued to stare.

"Oh..." He finally responded. This made Akina let out a giggle.

"That's the first time I've heard you laugh since you've been here." Hiten stated with a slight smile.

"I can't help it. That look on your face was so funny. " Her giggles began to turn into laughs, " I've never seen you look at anyone like that before."

"I guess I did look pretty strange huh?" Hiten smiled.

"Yes," Akina could hardly contain herself as laughter overcame her.

She could feel Hiten's body seem to jump and flinch beside her as he began to chuckle silently to himself. Soon the both of them found themselves laughing.

"You're laughing." Akina told him, happily.

She had never seen him laugh before, nor had he seen her.

"Yes, I am."

"Oh Hiten." Akina sighed, hugging the youkai lightly. "Never leave me..."

"Never." Hiten told her, " I promise."

The rain started to fall down at a steadier pace. Several lightning strikes hit the ground afar as the two hugged in the rain. They stood there, not caring if they were getting wet. They broke their embrace and walked through the rain and back to the drab building, which was only a glimpse away.

They took their time, walking slowly in the rain, hand in hand.
