Night's Reflection

[Saya]

Saya stood around in the darkness of the Akatsuki fortress. She felt at home with all of this. Her world was the dark. It was so perfect for her, but she felt out of place. She was alone and it weighted down on her heart, "I...don't want to be alone." Saya sighed and stood up from her seat. She was in her room. A small table formed what she had been sitting at. She pressed her finger to the table and walked around it, feeling the skin rub against the rather old table top. She even felt the wood breaking and splntering, breaking into the breaking and impaling into Saya's finger. She gave a yelp of harm and looked at it. It was not totally unexpected and she could barely register the fact that the skin was already healing and pushing the splinter out of her skin.

Saya sighed and looked through the darkness, her eyes even able to see clearly as if light was not a factor. It wasnt. Saya walked towards the door and twisted the knob. Chimegami was leaning next to the chosen bed. Saya walked over to the sword and picked it up and stared at it, 'Sadoku...this was your fault.' She could never forgive the man who changed her forever. It was that one simple fact that she was bored, alone, and just needing to do something.

When she reached the door once more, Saya thought about it and turned to her dresser again. She had forgotten that she was barely even covered. A simple pair of panties and a bra was the only thing on her body. Wearing her favorite dress was probably not what she would want to wear. Her hand fumbled around while she still held onto Chimegami. Her mind almost clicked into place when her hand connected at the bottom of the mass of clothes. She pulled out her favorite fighting dress. A pink one piece. Before she chose to wear that, Saya placed on the black undershirt that reached down to about her mid-thighs and then placed the dress on. In another drawer were the gloves to go with the dress and she put those on as well. For some reason, she felt like wearing her fighting dress and walk around with it on. What would Kaeor say about her looks if he say how the way her dress emphasized her curves and breasts?

Shrugging, hoping not to delve to far into it, Saya walked to the door and opened it once more. So entranced by her thoughts that she had forgotten about eatng at all that day, "Oh wow...I am so hungry." Saya said this with her freehand over her slim waist. It was about time to get her blood transfusion and eat a lot of food. That was her way to feed. No way would she feed from another person and have Kaeor think she was not interested in him. If he saw her huddled over another man, or even a woman he might get the wrong thoughts. So she gave herself injections of blood to make sure there was no false sense of cheating.

[Kaeor]

Deception...

Trust..

Honor..

Kaeor walked briskly outside of the Akatsuki base. A strange curiosity was held on his face as he continued his pace. He had been in fact thinking of his Akatsuki members. Most of them seemed ill-witted men with a thirst more for raw power than knowledge. Most would call what he was thinking about his own members fear, yet it wasn't. It was just him thinking about the pawns he had recruited as he began to compare his organization to a simple chess game but stopped soon. He carefully thought it out and was sure he had made some mistake but decided to see the outcome.

Through the soft breeze he could hear the sound of something approaching. As he turned around slowly he saw nothing but a small squirrel dashing around the forest floor. He looked upwards and gazed at the moon as he ignored the creature. The moon was full as he watched the black clouds move slowly through the sky. He refocused his attention back on himself as he continued walking. Both of his arms hidden inside the cloak as he would've blended in with the night if they red clouds weren't on the cloak also.

[Saya]

Saya opened the door and peered outside. She was prone to walking into people whenever she did this so she had to make sure not to. When she was sure that no one was going to run around the corner or something, Saya stepped out of her room and looked around. It was fairly quiet in the darkness. The small windows to the outside world gleamed with the fullness of the moonlight. Saya actually smiled. She loved the moon and how it glew even in the middle of the night. She traveled onwards, through the building. Naturally she was more of a nights person but she tended to sleep during the early morning and midafternoon and wake up then, but sometimes she could go days without sleep. Those were the boring times. Like now for instance when she was alone and everyone else must have been asleep.

Saya continued to walk and found herself going towards the front entrace. She smiled, lips curling in a geniune smile, nothing fake like most other times, "It would be good to look at the moon..." Saya felt her loneliness sink in once more and her heart fluttered. It dropped at the feeling and then returned to normal.

She continued to walk until she reached the doors, which she easily pushed aside and walked out. The base was located on a mountain full of crevices, rises and plains, and various wild life. This was the ideal place because it was secluded, well hidden, and easily expanded. Saya looked around, just to make sure she was alone and began to run around the side of the pleatue she was on.

She was going to have to make her way a little ways across the kitchen to get to her blood stash, then she could head back after the injections and eat some food. It was all a simple plan and when she slowed down to a walk, she hardly noticed who was directly in front of her walking. The cloak made him blend in with his surrounding area, and the only warning she got was his lone eye and the red clouds, 'Kaeor...' Saya felt her body connect with his. She had made the mistake of not listening for someone and now she was with someone else. But that someone else could not have been the more perfect person, "I uh...am...sorry..." Saya tried not to make eye contact, and felt her hands turn white from gripping his cloak so hard. It was like she was making sure that this was real and not a dream.

[Kaeor]

Kaeor looked down as he saw the image of Saya standing infront of him. Like her, he wasn't paying much attention to his surrounding landscape and looked down momentarily after she grabbed his arms. He could see the outline of her before him as he felt her small hands grip his arms yet she gripped them tightly.

The wind seemed to blow around them as he looked down at her, trying to make eye contact yet she looked the other way as if she was avoiding meeting his eyes. Yet he felt as if the world seemed to halt for a second as she squeezed his arms as if she was squeezing the life of a teddy bear, yet it didn't hurt.

"Saya. Are you ok?" he said as he waited for her to release him before making any motions.

[Saya]

Saya felt her breathing cut off when he spoke. His voice was soft and gentle as if he did not mind her there. She felt his movements and could only guess he was trying to stared at her amber eyes. This had to be a dream...Kaeor was never really the one to stand out at night by himself. Despite her having been around Kaeor a lot, this was different some how. She tried to find her voice, but all she foud was a squeek.

For a moment, Saya's blood rushed through her veins, her heart once agian beating off cue, but this time it was fast as if in anticipation. This might be the only chance she would get to say anything to Kaeor. What if she took it? What if she did not? Would he find another woman? Again she tried to find her voice, and it came out hoarse and husky, "I...I am...uh..I am uh...fine...nothing wrong with me..." Her body began to flush with heat and her sense of right and wrong was diminishing each and every second.

A blush spread across her face and she shoved her head against Kaeor's chest, hiding her head for a second or two before pushing away and staring at Kaeor. He was much taller than her but only a few years older. She felt like taking a bold step but her face blushed even more and her lip began to quiver. Whether from excitment and anticipation or fear and cowardice she did not know, she just knew all to well about Kaeor standing in front of her and how much she wanted him to be with her.

[Kaeor]

Kaeor let a soft smile come across his face as she began to stutter. Yet just as he was about to respond, Saya drove her head into his chest. It seemed that Saya was doing everything so quickly that he didn't have any time to react to it so he did nothing this time as she pulled back and looked up.

"A bit jumpy today aren't we.." he commented quietly to her. The smile remained upon his face as he gently stroked through her hair with his hands. He could feel her forehead as he stroked her and felt it get hotter.

"Hmm.. Are you sure your ok Saya?" he said as he began to get worried about her. He had not picked up on the fact was that she was a bit excited from his presense. If she was ok he then would offer for her to walk with him.

[Saya]

Saya felt her hands go loose and take a life of their own, wrapping up under his wrapping of his cloak and grasp at his ribs. The cloak covering him was as if it did not exist. She could FEEL his body heat. When Kaeor spoke again she swallowed the spit in her mouth, it was suddely dry. He was doing all the right things to make her fumble with herself, her brain was so disgruntled and spaced out that she could barely register the fact that she was even trying to hug Kaeor.

She felt herself become aware of her head and hair. His hands were moving around the strands of raven black. she had to admit that it felt amazing to have someone touch her in such a way...she had never felt it like this before. To be honest she was enjoying the softness of his hands. She even lost herself to the feeling, sighing and letting her head rest against his hands.

His words soon brought her out of her daze and she stared at him while he stared at her with a smile. His words of asking if she was ok were similar to the last time, but she could even hear the twinge of worry in his voice. That made her heart flutter again and she pulled herself against him, wrapping her arms fully around Kaeor, "I...I am fine really."

[Kaeor]

"Hm. Thats good. You were starting to worry me for a second." he said as he looked up at the moon. It was pretty late at night and many others were asleep. But Kaeor didn't get much rest daily, he had too many things that he pondered about on his mind. Yet feeling Saya's body heat against his made him forget of everything and only concentrate on her for the moment.

As he released himself from her grasp he put his arm around her as he began to walk with her by his side. He didn't say anything as his left arm wrapped around her to the side of her hip and he began to walk.

[Saya]

Saya sighed in a happy bliss and squeezed herself into his body. His words made her feel wanted. If only slightly. If he worried about her being sick how would he react if she died? What if he died, how would she live on? Why was she even thinking about this. For the moment she just wanted to hold onto Kaeor. He was as close as she would ever feel him, and she was enjoying it as much as she could.

The feeling all but died when Kaeor pulled himself away, but that was replaced by another heart flutter and smiled a genuine smile, his arm around her shoulder made her feel secure. Safe. Protected. That changed again when he began to walk, giving her a little pull before she too was walking beside him. His hand was moving slowly down her back. It felt like his finger tips dragged against the small of her back and to her waist. She felt like he wanted something from her. And she agreed, leaning her body against Kaeor's while walking and resting her head on his shoudler. At first she did not know what to ask but she had to say something, "Kaeor...what do you usually think about?"
