"You knew, huh?”
He smirked, “Of course I knew, I am your bodyguard, remember?” He winced at the pain, as much as he liked to laugh at such situations it was becoming harder to bare this with a smile and not worry Hotori, even mores he knew he was feeling weaker and weaker and there would come a time when he would either pass out or…yeah, lose consciousness. But, at least for now he did his best to cooperate and not faint, or else it would be hard for the both of them, and he was expecting the manager to come at them again, you never knew with men like those…
“Well, then let me say now that, though that was exciting, I much prefer candy and flowers on a date… You know...for future reference…”
He laughed softly, really? “What are you…five? Candy and flowers…” He laughed some more and winked at her to ensure she knew he was simply joking. He could not do much else at present concentrating his remaining energy to remain as conscious as his body would allow him. But it was getting harder and harder and he sighed a bit annoyed with the situation.
“As soon as we've got you squared away, I'm calling up that idiot Sakano and giving him a sound piece of my mind. I don't know what he was playing at, but I'm having no part of it…I may even make an appointment to see the company president. Maybe I can get a new manager if I tell him what happened…”
He winced lightly at the wound but did his best not to give any sign of the real pain he was feeling. He heard her words and nodded, in all honesty he was also furious, who did that man think he was putting his beloved Hotori in such peril? He did not want to think on what could have happened and all because he wanted to test his skills? Was that man for real? He knew form the very first moment that he disliked him and he never trusted him. He was glad he had supervised the men putting all the safety gadgets he suggested Hotori. His hand instinctively moved to hold hers for a moment, “I never liked that man, if there is a reason I accepted that job was because…” he winced feeling a light cramp on his back, “I wanted to protect you from him.” It might sound strange especially when a manager is supposed to at least have a respectful relationship with the celebrity, but Isamu knew that manager was not to be trusted and he wanted his love to be well aware of that. “Today… when I went to give him the plans for what I thought your flat needed, he behaved like a fool and I had to stop myself from punching him, he wanted me to be more of a babysitter than a bodyguard and that I will never forgive…” He pulled her hand so he could kiss it.
He wanted to feel her close in whichever way was possible. And almost as if she had guessed his thoughts, she placed a soft hand on his cheek and he closed his eyes. She asked him how he felt, but he was not sure what he should answer, “I will live, because you came uncared, you give me the will to fight on.” At least he would not be lying then, he hated lies… He closed his eyes and smiled happily feeling her hand caress his long dark hair, it was truly comforting. And her hand moved to his back and he almost drifted off. But then the sound of a mobile phone made him blink.
“Haru-kun? You must've known I was just thinking about you… New locks… I’ll be right there… Haru-kun is here… Don’t you even think of getting up and putting on some tough front…Please just rest, okay love?”
He smirked, where would he go with such little energy?-He wondered. Still he simply watched his beloved leave and he sighed trying to keep himself away but then a flash of memories seemed to constantly hit his mind and he could not understand. There was some sort of battle and Isamu got terribly wounded…
“New locks, huh? And you're actually using them? Did something happen? Another break-in?"
"No, everything's fine…Just following Li-san's advice and trying to keep myself safe so you guys don't worry so much."
"You're still a terrible liar.”
“Did you just come to bother me, or...?"
"I came to give you this…Sei finally got his own copy, so I figured I'd return yours."
"That could've waited until you saw me at school…"
"I forgot earlier. And since I was in the area… So, you were thinking about me, huh? What's up? Mr. Hottie not so hot after all? Though you know you're not really my type, little duck."
"Shut up!”
“What? It's not like he's here to hear me… Or is he? Hotori-chan...so soon? Hotori…Is that blood? What's happened?”
Isamu chuckled inside his room, he seemed to have quite a reputation at her University now, however, he would not get involve in the conversation for now. He was much too injured to allow anything to distract him from actually keeping awake and fighting off this disagreeable sensation of being injured and defenceless. Yet, for now, his ego was enlarged and he would tease Hotori about it later…
“Good thing I stopped by. I'd better have a look."
"Haru-kun is going to look at the wound while he's here…"
"Geeze, Little Duck, did you have to be so rough on the new guy?”
And then the flashes of memory returned and he was lying on the floor drenched in his own blood and his head rested on Hotori’s lap and then, just as he was about ready to give in to the darkness the door opened, and someone who looked exactly like Haru entered the room and then Isamu raised his hand with the sword pointing menacingly at him, and upon realising who it was… he whispered, “Haru…” His eyes blinked but he was unable to keep track of reality and as his eyes watched the young student he passed out. Somehow he had the same feeling as back then, at least now she would be safe with Haru by her side…

Hotori temporarily forgot that Haru was there when Isamu lost consciousness. "Isamu!" She called, concerned as she rushed to his side and took a seat on the bed, checking on him. Haru watched her for just a second before moving forward. "He's lost a lot of blood, hasn't he?" Hotori nodded. "We...need to take him to the hospital, don't we?" She bit her lip with worry. Tears pricked at the corners of her eyes as she stroked his hair back automatically, hoping to ease things somehow, even if it wasn't really helping. "Not necessary." Haru replied, he took a seat on the other side of Isamu and rubbed his hands together. "See, I've got a little secret. I haven't told you yet because I didn't want you to think I was crazy..." A red light seemed to surround him, just as it had Isamu when he'd done the ice thing earlier, and this time a symbol glowed on his palm. He reached up and peeled away the bandage before placing his hand on top of the wound. "Do me a favor and go get some warm wet cloths. We'll need to check the progress every so often..." "What...?" Hotori watched as a warm, white light surrounded the wound. "Do as I asked, and I'll explain what I can, okay, Hotori-chan?" Haru's voice was gentle and patient, not teasing as it usually was, and Hotori reluctantly left the room to get what he requested. She returned with the cloths and sat back down, still stunned silent. "I...realized I could do this about four years ago..." He admitted. That would've been before he met Hotori, she realized. "My first date with Sei...we got robbed, and Sei got stabbed. I wanted so desperately to help him, but we were too far from anywhere to get help..." He shook his head. "Suddenly, I had this far off memory of using my hands to...heal...others, and so I tried it, and...this." He nodded at the wound, which was slowly healing. The light dimmed, and he reached for one of the cloths, wiping his hand before he applied it to the wound, trying to clear away blood and see how much progress he'd made. "So when Sei-kun calls you his hero...?" Hotori began, Haru nodded. "I remembered more. At first, they were just vague little memorizes of me and Sei...or me and my family, from before I met Sei." He tossed the cloth on the bedside table, and Hotori could see that the wound was indeed healing. The bleeding had stopped, but it still looked rough, and was far from healed. The light returned when Haru put his hand back over the wound. "When I met you, I began to see you in those memories too. I called you...my Miko." Hotori had a flash of memory and nodded. "The...Suzaku no Miko." Haru looked up and nodded. "You're starting to remember too?" Hotori nodded. "So is Isamu." She nodded her head at the unconscious man as Haru paused to check his progress again. "Why didn't you tell me?" Haru laughed. "Hi, my name's Haru. I think I protected you in a past life, want to be friends?" He joked. The wound was healing nicely. He went back to work. "It sounds crazy." He nodded toward Isamu. "So what's really the deal here?" "Isamu was...one of my Seishi, I think..." That word sounded right. And since they were being honest with each other. "I loved him...I still do." Haru grinned. "You just met and you already love each other with all of your hearts?" Hotori opened her mouth to defend their love, but Haru shook his head. "I get it, Hotori-chan. Sei and I were the same way. I know you'll need to hide it for a while...but neither of you have to hide it from us." Hotori smiled. "Will he...be okay?" This whole day just felt so surreal, but she knew it wasn't a dream. As crazy as it was, it seemed this would be her life now. "Yeah, he'll be fine...just tired for a while. He lost a lot of blood. I think I've countered most of it, but still..." He pulled his hand away, and took the last warm cloth to wipe the area, revealing whole, healthy skin...perhaps still a ltitle pink, and maybe tender, but otherwise healed. "There we go, all good. Now he just needs rest." Haru stood, and motioned for Hotori to do the same, handing her the used cloths. "Now I'll just flip him over and we'll let him rest a while." He smiled at her. "Why don't you go order us some pizza or something? And make it a double...doing that always leaves me starving." Hotori nodded and grabbed her cell phone, leaving the room as Haru began to turn Isamu over so he could rest more comfortably on his back. He pulled Isamu's shoes off, and then got a throw blanket from the living room and tossed it over him before entering the living room to wait for Hotori. Hotori put the cloths in the laundry hamber and returned to the living room with the local pizza place menu in her hand. She was perusing the page and trying to decide what to order when the cell phone in her hand started ringing. She looked at the display and scowled. "What's up?" Haru asked, instantly concerned. "It's my manager." She said, almost growling. "As in the one that caused all of the trouble today?" Haru asked. "Just ignore it." Hotori shook her head. "Oh, no, he's long overdue for a piece of my mind." With that, she answered the call. "Sakano-san?" She wanted to make sure it was him on the line before she started chewing. Haru took the menu and headed for the balcony to order their food and call and let Sei know what was going on. He left the door to the balcony cracked so he could keep an ear out for Hotori...and because he so rarely saw her mad, he wanted to see how this played out. Pity he could only hear Hotori's half of the conversation. "...of all the stupid, irresponsible things to do! We could've been killed!" A pause. "No, I think you know exactly what I'm talking about..." 'Stupid move trying to deny it...' Haru thought. He missed the next part becuae he was placing their food order. When he hung up, he listened again, discreetly of course. "...Lucky for you Li-san is the best in the business. How do you think the company president would feel if I'd gotten hurt because of your little test?" Another pause. "No, I think there's plenty of reason to tell him, actually. This is just the sort of thing I'm sure he'd want to know." A slightly longer pause. "How in the hell is havign men chase me with guns in my best interests?" Haru raised an eyebrow, she was yelling, and using-granted, mild-bad language. This guy really had made the gentle little duck mad. "No, I don't want to hear any of your excuses. I'm calling the company president in the morning, and I'm getting a manager who hopefully isn't insane enough to pull stupid stunts like this. Please, do not contact me again, or I might reconsider pressing charges." Silence fell in the living room, and Haru listened for a moment longer before quickly calling Sei and letting him know he'd be home late, and to eat without him. That done, the doctor-in-training returned to where he'd left Hotori, still glaring at her phone. "Hotori-chan?" He asked, sitting down next to her and putting an arm arond her shoulders, pulling her close. "It'll be okay...Papa Haru is here." She smiled. He and Sei called themselves her Papa and Mama sometimes. And then she got a flash of memory. "You and Sei called yourselves my parents...in that other life too..." Haru nodded. "Why don't you go check on Isamu? I'll let you know when the food gets here." Hotori smiled at him but nodded. She paused long enough to dig out money to pay for the food, giving Haru a look that said he'd better not argue. She then went into Isamu's room and climbed onto the bed beside him. After a moment's thought, she gently lifted his head and moved the pillow, sitting in its place and placing his head gently in her lap. That felt right somehow, so she sat there watching him rest and gently stroking his hair out of his face. Without realizing it, she began to softly sing...

Isamu was unconscious for a while, but this also rendered him to see moments in his past he never thought he had lived. He could feel a warmth surround his body and could hear the soft singing of a melodious voice. He could rekindle the sensate of lying on a wooden floor fora long time while Hotori caressed his long dark hair and even sang for him, she even cried tears. She shed tears for him? For the Ice Knight? Yes, he could see himself in that distant past and recognise his clothes, he remembered his weapons and his attire and the reputation he had held for many years due to a dark and insipid past. And then coming across Hotori while fighting an enemy of his past.
He saw the many sides of this wonderful creature, when she was happy, angry, sad and even embarrassed. It al made him feel the need to fight this injury that seemed to have made him leave the world of the living. It almost felt as if Hotori’s voice called out to him inside his mind. Was this one of her abilities as a miko? He fought to wake up, to return to the woman he loved, this wound he received when protecting her would not stop him from returning her call.
After a long time of battling, he finally found the energy to stir. his body felt soar but there was a wave of relief through him, almost as if he had been healed and then, he remembered a red beam of light. Haru healed him? This was just too much information for one moment of unconsciousness and confusion drove him to finally open his eyes realising his hand had moved to hold another. When he blinked he realised he was in his world now and on his bed.
He was covered by a blanket and he remembered Hotori tending to his wound but then Haru had arrived. Feeling a gentle caress on his hair he looked up slowly and knew he was lying in the very same way as in his dreams, with Hotori right next to him and singing a song of long ago.
He felt a bit of pain and his hand held hers and he whispered, “Ho…Hotori…” He closed his eyes for a moment and was not sure why he felt so weak, he probably lost a lot of blood but how long had he been sleeping? He realised his face was covered in sweat, had he had a bit of temperature or was this the effect of the healing?
Probably Haru had helped, was he here still? Something inside him told him that he was, that he could sense them. He slowly opened his eyes once more to get use to the light and feeling his throat dry he cough. He was very weak but something told him that he would be fine in no time. The wound was healing and it would not take long for him to be all better. His hand which held hers pulled it to his lips and he kissed her knuckles before feeling her hand on his cheek and closing his eyes gently. She had looked after him, he had never felt this loved before, no one had ever done this for him, even his customers they never cared if he survived an experience or not.
He finally swallowed and whispered, “I love you.” He closed his eyes once more feeling completely exhausted, at least they were safe now at home and Haru would watch over her. His thumb caressed her hand gently and he smiled, Hotori would never know how grateful he was because she had looked after him with all that love, she as truly someone astounding…He would treasure her forever…

Hotori listened as Haru answered the door some time later, getting their food and paying for it. He stuck his head in and quietly asked if she wanted to eat then, but she shook her head no. "Can you bring a couple of bottles of water, though? And a straw, in case he wakes up...he might be thirsty." Haru nodded and disappeared again, returning a moment later with the bottles of water and a straw. Hotori set one aside with the straw and took a drink from the other herself. She looked up, and found Haru still standing there. "You know, I don't need a babysitter..." She said softly. "If I've learned anything from those past life memories..." Haru said, patting her on the head. "It's that Isamu will kick my butt if I left you alone while he can't look out for you. Besides, I should stick around in case he needs more healing." Hotori laughed softly but nodded in agreement. "Alright then, you can stay until he wakes up." "We'll see." Haru replied. "Don't worry though, I'll stay out of your hair as much as possible. I need to study for an exam anyway." He leaned down ang kissed Hotori's forehead before turning and leaving her alone with her beloved once more. Hotori took another drink of water before setting it aside and resuming her motions, gently stroking his hair as she sang softly to him. When she closed her eyes, she could see scenes from that past life when she'd done the very same thing. He'd been poisoned that time, and she'd been very worried he would not make it. It was while her eyes were closed that she felt him move somewhat, and he took her hand, kissing it softly. She placed her hand on his cheek, and leaned forward to smile down at him. "You came back to me..." Again, it almost felt as if she'd said that, or something similar, before, but that wasn't important. "Your wound is healing, love. You're going to be alright." "I love you."He sounded weak, and his throat was dry, but his words still made her smile. "I love you too, Isamu." She said. She felt a few tears of pure relief slide down her cheeks, and she moved a hand to wipe them away. She got the feeling her past self had shed many tears during her time with Isamu..though none of them were because he'd hurt her in any way. She reached over and got the unopened bottle of water, opening it and slipping the straw in before holding it so Isamu could drink. "Here, love, drink up." She said gently, still holding one of his hands in one of her own. "It's been about three hours since we got home." She told him, sure he would like to know how long he'd been out. "You can rest more, if you like. I promise I'll stay here with you..." She wasn't sure if he would want to rest more, or if he'd insist on being stubborn and getting up, but she planned to stay by his side regardless and tend to any needs he may have. It was her fault, indirectly, that he'd been injured, so it was the least she could do, and besides she loved him and wanted to take care of him. After all, if it hadn't been for her idiot soon-to-be-former-manager, none of this would have happened...

”You came back to me...Your wound is healing, love. You're going to be alright.”
He smiled at her and then said, “All thanks to your care and Haru’s healing no doubt.” While he remained unconscious he had seen things of his past life and was beginning to understand things more clearly. Back then he had gotten severely injured and Haru had arrived in the knick of time. He had sent him a message so he knew where to find them, it had been because he had gone after Hotori’s captor, who had been an old enemy of his. His head hurt and he decided to stop rekindling the past and instead try and focus on the present but then he felt the guilt of having put Hotori in danger due to his old enemies and he decided he would not do such a thing in this world, “While I was asleep I…I saw more of our past Hotori.”
“I love you too, Isamu.”
Isamu smiled at her and saw the tears of happiness and he was a bit taken aback. No one had ever shed tears for him in this modern world, “Are you crying Hotori…for me?” He knew they had shared a past story and that their love was so strong it was renewed in this world, but, he was still greatly impressed that anyone should be crying for his sake. He lifted his hand and gently dried her tears with his thumb and he whispered her name.
“I’m here my love, do not cry.” He smiled up at her and then watched her get some water for him and he gladly drank from the bottle. In fact he was so thirsty he finished the contents and even after that he was still slightly thirsty. He could tell his wound was recovering just as it had back in the other life where Haru had tended to his wounds. He tried to sit back so he could embrace Hotori and realised he might need some more rest and he cursed under his breath unable to move.
“Here, love, drink up…It’s been about three hours since we got home…You can rest more, if you like. I promise I'll stay here with you…”
He smirked bitterly at how long he had been unconscious and said, “That long, huh?” He ran a hand through his face and then sighed, “Thank you my love but, would you not prefer to eat something and enjoy your friend’s company to watch me sleep?” In all honesty he deemed he would have liked to sleep that night with Hotori in his arms, just as the night before, but he was not sure if she would want that. That night she and been unable to sleep and came looking for him, would she stay this time and sleep in his arms because he needed her this time? He looked up at her and caressed her cheek, “You could…come join me once you feel you would like to sleep…” He hoped that by then his wound would allow him to hold his beloved if not at least to rest beside her.
He felt truly tired, how come this experience had injured him so? He was a bit upset at the fat that he had gotten too hurt to look after Hotori properly and he looked down and sighed, “I’m sorry, some bodyguard I am…I can’t even protect you now, I am far too injured to lift a finger in your defence.” Would she mind now? Would she no longer love him due to the fact that he was actually useless as her bodyguard? Surely other bodyguards would not have fallen prey to such nonsense so easily… He closed his eyes in anger and his fists in frustration, how useless he felt…

“All thanks to your care and Haru’s healing no doubt. While I was asleep I…I saw more of our past Hotori.”Hotori smiled happily at him. "I didn't do anything but sit here and watch you sleep..." She felt a bit shy about admitting it. "Haru-kun did all the difficult, helpful stuff..." When he said he had seen more of their past life, she tilted her head, curious. "What did you see?" She bit her lip. "I really have got to start writing this all down..." “Are you crying Hotori…for me? I’m here my love, do not cry.”"They're happy tears, my love." She leaned down and gently kissed him. "Though, from what I've remembered of our past life, it seems I used to cry a lot for all sorts of reasons." She shook her head. She'd never considered herself a weepy person, but somehow she knew that, when she cried in front of Isamu, he did not mind drying her tears. “Thank you my love but, would you not prefer to eat something and enjoy your friend’s company to watch me sleep? You could…come join me once you feel you would like to sleep…”She smiled at him. She offered him the rest of her bottle of water, in case he was still thirsty. "I'm afraid you will be sharing your bed with me tonight, my love. Haru-kun said something about knowing you'd skin him alive if he left me 'unprotected' while you recovered, so he's insisted on staying the night." She chuckled. "Unless you would rather I share with Haru-kun in my room...?" She couldn't help but tease him, just a little, as she stroked his hair back from his face. "Are you hungry, I can bring you something. We ordered in." She rested a hand on his cheek. "Haru-kun told me he might try one more healing session before he goes to sleep...but with that and rest, you should be up and about in the morning, as good as new." “I’m sorry, some bodyguard I am…I can’t even protect you now, I am far too injured to lift a finger in your defence.”Hotori moved from where she sat on the bed, and instead stretched out on her stomach beside him so she could look into his eyes with them being close to the same level. "None of that, now." She said sternly. She placed a hand on his cheek, caressing his face with her thumb. "A lesser man probably would've gotten us both killed. The fault in this is not yours, my love, and I assure you I have spoken to the one who is to blame." She nearly blushed, remembering how angry she'd been, and she was glad Isamu had been asleep, and had not heard, otherwise he many not think her sweet anymore. She leaned forward and kissed him passionately. "You will be well soon, and then you'll be back to being th best bodyguard a silly little girl like myself could hope for." She kissed him again, though this was just a quick peck. "Now rest and feel better..."

“I didn't do anything but sit here and watch you sleep...Haru-kun did all the difficult, helpful stuff…”
He smiled and kissed her hand once more, “My love, my sweet singing bird, that alone is far more than anyone had ever done for me…I hope you understand that. Those are the disadvantages of being a bodyguard, few people truly appreciate you. Even if they are safe and you are harmed many do not even bother to help you, especially when you risk your very life for them. And you, Hotori, you are so different form everyone else and for that I am grateful….and I always will be.”
“What did you see? I really have got to start writing this all down…”
He smiled at her, “You could bring the notebook if you like.” He though for a moment and said, “I saw that one time I was injured and you…you looked after me the very same way and Haru, he was there too, he saved my life, I was truly close to dying at that moment…” He then looked at her more seriously and said, “You were our miko and we were your Seishi.”
"They're happy tears, my love… Though, from what I've remembered of our past life, it seems I used to cry a lot for all sorts of reasons.”
He enjoyed the kiss she granted him and closed his eyes and felt at peace. He smiled as he looked back into her emerald gems and said, “I saw that as well, I am sorry Hotori, I am sorry I brought you so much grief and I still do now. I wish this time to make things difficult and yet, I just got injured…” He smirked at the irony….
“I’m afraid you will be sharing your bed with me tonight, my love. Haru-kun said something about knowing you'd skin him alive if he left me 'unprotected' while you recovered, so he's insisted on staying the night.”
He finished the water in her bottle and then thought they could indeed eat some. To her words he chuckled, “So he also remembers? I see…I probably would do that to him if he did leave you on your own when I can’t protect you.” He watched her as she moved to lie so they could look into each other’s eyes and he pulled her close to him. He kissed her lips passionately.
“Unless you would rather I share with Haru-kun in my room…?”
He smirked, “I am sorry but since you chose me, Hotori, you can only sleep with me…” He kissed her once more pulling her even closer, now everything made sense, if they had loved one another in a past life his soul had been looking for her all this while and when found their feelings came out like a million fireflies in the night.
"Are you hungry, I can bring you something. We ordered in.”
He nodded and said, “only if you will eat with me.” He did not want her to stop looking after herself just so that she could tend to him, that would be truly unacceptable for him. He caressed her long green hair with one hand and held her to him with the other, “Hotori…” he breathed, “are you even aware of what a beautiful woman you are?” He looked deeply into her eyes and smiled.
“Haru-kun told me he might try one more healing session before he goes to sleep...but with that and rest, you should be up and about in the morning, as good as new.”
He nodded and said, “I understand, I am ready whenever he wishes to do this.” He was a good patient and was aware that whether he liked it or not he would have to ensure he healed as fast as possible to keep Hotori safe. He was not sure why but he feared that manager of hers might mean far more trouble than he had expected at first.
“None of that, now…A lesser man probably would've gotten us both killed. The fault in this is not yours, my love, and I assure you I have spoken to the one who is to blame…You will be well soon, and then you'll be back to being the best bodyguard a silly little girl like myself could hope for….Now rest and feel better…”
He closed his eyes feeling her touch his cheek and kiss him and for some reason he felt as if she also had the ability of making him feel better or as if he could heal quicker with her influence. He looked into her eyes and chuckled, “So long as I can keep my teddy with me…” He embraced her warmly.

“My love, my sweet singing bird, that alone is far more than anyone had ever done for me…I hope you understand that. Those are the disadvantages of being a bodyguard, few people truly appreciate you. Even if they are safe and you are harmed many do not even bother to help you, especially when you risk your very life for them. And you, Hotori, you are so different form everyone else and for that I am grateful….and I always will be.”
Hotori smiled at Isamu. "I could act no differently, my love. To do so would be to taint our bond." She leaned over and kissed him gently. "Besides, I just don't understand how anyone can behave so callously toward another human. If I ever do, my love, do not hesitate to tell me so." “You could bring the notebook if you like. I saw that one time I was injured and you…you looked after me the very same way and Haru, he was there too, he saved my life, I was truly close to dying at that moment… You were our miko and we were your Seishi.”Hotori nodded along to what he said. "I remember that too." She considered for a long moment. "I don't think it was just a past life...I think it was a different world." She hoped that didn't sound silly, but had a feeling he would understand. "I remember a book... and it drew me in with red light..." She shook her head. "Red because I was the Suzaku no Miko." She would go get the notebook soon, and she'd work on writing down all they'd learned while he rested...and she intended to make sure he rested. “I saw that as well, I am sorry Hotori, I am sorry I brought you so much grief and I still do now. I wish this time to make things difficult and yet, I just got injured…”"You are not the source of my grief, my love...it is the actions of others. I am just sorry that you keep getting hurt because of me..." She caressed his cheek. "From now on, I'll try not to cry, and you try not to get injured, alright, Isamu?" She winked at him, and hoped it lightened the mood. “So he also remembers? I see…I probably would do that to him if he did leave you on your own when I can’t protect you. I am sorry but since you chose me, Hotori, you can only sleep with me…”Hotori nodded. "It seems he's remembered some since before we met, but he said he didn't tell me because he thought he'd sound crazy." She smiled. She could understand that feeling. "His boyfriend Sei too, apparently, though I don't remember anything with Sei-kun yet." She couldn't help but laught softly at his next words. "I shall have to live with the choice I've made somehow, then." She placed a hand over the necklace he wore. "It's a good thing you're such a good teddy bear, my handsome knight..." “only if you will eat with me. Hotori… are you even aware of what a beautiful woman you are?”She nodded, agreeing to eat with him, and then blushed. "I am afraid I have never seen what you see in me, beloved." She confessed softly. "I look at you, and think I must look so silly and plain next to your handsomeness..." It perhaps sounded like she was fishing for a compliment, but she meant it. She'd been complimented before, but just didn't see it in herself. She was a simple woman, and took no great notice of her appearance really, so she couldn't imagine why anyone would find her especially attractive to look at. “So long as I can keep my teddy with me…”Hotori laughed softly and returned the embrace. "We are each other's teddy bears, then? I think I'm okay with that." she leaned up to kiss him before gently pulling away. "Your teddy bear is going to go get some food before Haru-kun eats it all." She told him with a smile. "I'll be back soon, my love." She caught his hand and squeezed it gently before getting off the bed and heading out into the living room. Haru was sitting on the couch with with Hotori's laptop. He looked up and smiled. "Is our patient awake, nurse?" He grinned at Hotori, knowing if Isamu wasn't awake, he wouldn't be looking at her now. "Yes, doctor." She teased back. She went to the small kitchen and began to heat up some of the food for herself and Isamu. Haru set the laptop aside and stood. "Well, while you're not hovering over the poor man, I'll go see if I can make any more progress with the injury. I think he'll be up and moving around again in the morning." Hotori stuck her tongue out at Haru. "I don't hover. I watch over." Haru shook his head but said nothing. "Oh, Haru-kun, there are some sleep clothes in my bottom drawer. You left them the last time you and Sei-kun came over for a movie night." Haru nodded and headed for the bedroom to check on Isamu. Hotori put the food int he microwave to heat up, and then she went to get the notebook and a pen. She also slipped into her room long enough to change into a nightgown. She then put a robe on over it and headed back out. Just to prove she didn't hover, She decided to wait until he came out of Isamu's room to return. She got a tray and put their food and the notebook and pen on it before getting some more bottles of water and putting them in the pockets of her robe. Haru entered the room and smiled at Isamu in greeting. "How are you feeling, my friend?" He sat down next to Isamu and used his ability to check the severity of the wound. "I thought I told our Miko before she had to stop being so rough on the new guy. She never did listen well..." He added with a wink. He looked a bit more serious when he spoke again. "If you're ready, I'll see if I can heal that a little more, and then I'll be off to bed, and you two can have some more alone time." He knew technically this was his first time really meeting Isamu, but it felt easy to fall back into the respectful but playful relationship he'd had with the older man in their past life. When Isamu indicated he was ready, Haru began to try and heal the injury some more.

“I could act no differently, my love. To do so would be to taint our bond…Besides, I just don't understand how anyone can behave so callously toward another human. If I ever do, my love, do not hesitate to tell me so.”
He enjoyed the kiss before he looked deeply into her eyes and his hand reach out to caress her beautiful and soft green hair, “Hotori, I doubt you would ever be so heartless but I appreciate that you wish me to tell you if you ever are. I ask the same of you, if I ever offend you…then you must let me know.” He closed his eyes for a moment feeling a bit more tired now, he could tell his wound was healing but, this had been a rather tedious day for him, everything had been perfect until that little incident. He truly could not believe a manager would play like that with his rising celebrity but he would need forgive him and he knew that he would do some research on the man the moment he healed. He was not sure why but he did not like him, probably his sixth sense warning him of impeding danger and he never ignored that. He always acted before the tempest unleashed. He was glad he had changed the locks of the flat and made all the necessary arrangements, that way the man would be unable to harm them in the apartment.
“I remember that too…I don't think it was just a past life...I think it was a different world…I remember a book... and it drew me in with red light...Red because I was the Suzaku no Miko.”
He smiled and caressed her cheek puling her closed to him, “Yes, my miko…” he kissed her lips for a moment. He then smiled at her, “You might be right, my love, this might be a different world to that of the book.” He was not so sure what told him their thoughts were correct but he decided that he would allow the memories to reach him whenever they did and tell Hotori about them immediately after.
"You are not the source of my grief, my love...it is the actions of others. I am just sorry that you keep getting hurt because of me...From now on, I'll try not to cry, and you try not to get injured, alright, Isamu?”
He caressed her hand and then held it warmly and brought it to his lips, “I will do my best Hotori.” He did want to help her not to shed so many tears though, but how could he achieve so? Maybe it was something he needed to consider carefully.
”It seems he's remembered some since before we met, but he said he didn't tell me because he thought he'd sound crazy…His boyfriend Sei too, apparently, though I don't remember anything with Sei-kun yet.”
Isamu thought fora long moment and he nodded, “I do recall Sei, I think. Something in the lines of Haru and Sei always calling you their child or something like that.” He chuckled and then looked down at her, “Both loved you dearly and fought to protect you… But for now my memories do not go beyond that.” He knew that eventually he would remember everything. Not entirely sure that he wished to remember everything but, he would have to eventually and surely not everything in that lifetime and been darkness, right? At least he hoped not… "I shall have to live with the choice I've made somehow, then…It’s a good thing you're such a good teddy bear, my handsome knight…”
His hand rested on hers and his eyes looked ardently into her own. His cheeks turned a light red when she called him handsome but he smiled softly, “For you I would be anyhting, if it is a teddy bear you need, I shall be so then.” He embraced her gently and kissed the top of her head before his eyes looked into her emerald jewels, she truly was a gem that he discovered when he was but a lost soul. Now, ever since he was with her, his life radiated happiness. There were no words to describe how grateful he was toward Hotori, would she ever understand how much she had helped him already?
“I am afraid I have never seen what you see in me, beloved…I look at you, and think I must look so silly and plain next to your handsomeness…”
He smiled, in a way he could relate for he was not sure why she thought him handsome even when people complimented hi in the past, he never understood why. However, he did not he love her and he was glad she liked him completely for the person he was. He held her hand gently and stroked her knuckles with his thumb, “Hotori, do not say that, I have never seen more beauty than that, which irradiates from you. Your long silky green hair and your emerald eyes like gems, you are unique and I adore my diamond in the rough.” His eyes did not betray his words and he was looking at her seriously now, he wanted her to believe him because he actually did feel that way.
“We are each other's teddy bears, then? I think I'm okay with that…Your teddy bear is going to go get some food before Haru-kun eats it all…I’ll be back soon, my love.”
He smiled, “Sounds good to me, Hotori.” How he loved even just saying her name out loud, he caressed her cheek and gently released her form his embrace and he settled back and closed his eyes feeling extremely tired by now. He heard voices in the distance and knew it was Haru probably teasing Hotori and she was probably returning the favour. He chuckled, it seems things did to change between them. But he did not mind, and was sure they did not care either.
”How are you feeling, my friend? I thought I told our Miko before she had to stop being so rough on the new guy. She never did listen well…”
Isamu smirked at Haru’s comment and he seemed to remember the good old times with his friend, “I can take it, I am tough.” It was partly true but, well, he knew he was not invincible though and Haru would not be there to apple healing sessions whenever they wished, “Hopefully we will be more careful next time, this was somewhat unexpected…” He looked up at him though and said, “It looks like I owe you…again…”
“If you're ready, I'll see if I can heal that a little more, and then I'll be off to bed, and you two can have some more alone time.”
He nodded and then sat back feeling a bit of pain, but he ddi so nonetheless and he removed his shirt so that Haru could work more easily on his injury, “Thank you.” He added while he allowed Haru to work his magic.

“Hotori, I doubt you would ever be so heartless but I appreciate that you wish me to tell you if you ever are. I ask the same of you, if I ever offend you…then you must let me know.”Hotori smiled at him. "I doubt you could offend me, even if you tried." She replied. "But I know you'll never try to, Isamu. It's one of the many, many reasons I love you." She could tell he was still tired, and she felt bad for talking to him and keeping him awake when he needed rest, but at the same time she wasn't allowing him to do anything strenuous, so surely talking was alright, wasn't it? She'd missed hearing his voice those few hours he was asleep, and though she'd been worried about him, she was glad to exchange a few words now. “Yes, my miko… You might be right, my love, this might be a different world to that of the book.”She wondered what that could mean, then. If they had fallen in love in a different world...what did it say about the strength of that love that it had transcended time and space to bring them together again? How could she prove this book theory? It seemed such an outrageous idea, but she was glad Isamu believed her. She snapped her fingers suddenly. "I'll talk to my aunt about it." She decided. "Somehow...if anyone knows anything, I have the feeling she does." “I do recall Sei, I think. Something in the lines of Haru and Sei always calling you their child or something like that. Both loved you dearly and fought to protect you… But for now my memories do not go beyond that.”Hotori laughed. "They still do that, actually." She smiled. "If Haru-kun feels like getting smacked, he'll tell me to hold Papa's hand before crossing the street." She shook her head. "Sei-kun will sign gifts 'from Mama Sei'. I never knew why they did it, and the only time I asked, Haru-kun said it just seemed like the thing to do. I suppose it makes a little more sense now..." “Hotori, do not say that, I have never seen more beauty than that, which irradiates from you. Your long silky green hair and your emerald eyes like gems, you are unique and I adore my diamond in the rough.”She blushed at his words, but knew he meant them. Perhaps it did not matter if she didn't see it herself...the man that she loved thought she was beautiful, and that was all that mattered, wasn't it? She did not care what the rest of the world thought of her, so long as she pleased Isamu. She wished to tell him how attractive she found him, but she worried her words would not sound as lovely and poetic. "Isamu..." She stroked his hair for a moment before resting her hand on his cheek. "Your lovely soft hair, and your beautiful eyes that shine like the stars at night...I can't imagine a more pleasing sight." She smiled a little at him. "And I confess I'm fond of being held in your strong, gentle arms..." She leaned over and gave him the softest of kisses. While she waited for Haru to finish with Isamu, Hotori took the notebook and began to make notes on what she had already remembered, and what Isamu had told her he remembered so far too. She even made a note to ask Haru and Sei what they remembered, related to herself and Isamu. It wasn't much so far, but it was somewhere to start. She had a feeling the nightmares she had sometimes were related to this...but she couldn't remember enough of the details, so she didn't write it down just yet. “I can take it, I am tough. Hopefully we will be more careful next time, this was somewhat unexpected… It looks like I owe you…again… Thank you.”Haru nodded. "Yeah, you should've heard Hotori chewing that guy out about it. I think it's the first time I've ever seen the little duck get that mad." He waved off the last comment. "I told you before, and I'll tell you now...what are friends for?" He grinned. "I don't know how much you remember, but one thing hasn't changed from that past life until now...you looked after Hotori when I wasn't there to, and that means a lot to me. She's like family, and I hate to think about what that guy did..." Haru set to work healing the injury. He placed his hand over it, and a symbol glowed in red on his palm as a warm white light covered the wound. He focused on encouraging the area to recover, to heal so that there would be no more pain. "It might be sore for a bit, but there shouldn't be any more pain." He assured when he was done. "There probably won't be a scar, even." He then winked at Isamu. "Though sometimes scars are sexy." He stood and stretched. "Hotori's got me on speed dial, so if you guys ever need anything at all, just call. Sei and I will be here in a heartbeat." He started for the door, but paused. "Get some rest, and don't let Hotori be too rough on you..." He couldn't help but smirk, feeling his old troublesome streak emerge, it always had when it came to those two. "And remember...she's not the Miko anymore..." He winked once more before opening the door to the bedroom. "Mr. Hottie's all yours, Little Duck." Hotori jumped up and picked up the tray, heading for the room. She stopped part way there when she realized something. "You knew who he was when you started calling him that." Haru laughed. "I had to pretend I didn't...plus it makes you blush, and you're adorable when you do that." He leaned down and kissed her cheek. "Get some rest, both of you. I've got an early class tomorrow, but I'll wake you before I go so you can lock up after me." Hotori nodded. "Thank you, Haru-kun. Sleep well." She watched him turn off most of the apartment lights and shut off her laptop before heading to her room to sleep. She then entered Isamu's room and set the tray with their food on the table by the bed. She realized that, although she was in a gown and a robe, he was still fully dressed, except for his shoes. "I should've asked Haru-kun to help you change into something more comfortable before he went to bed..." She'd be willing to help him, if he couldn't do so himself, but she wasn't sure if their relationship was at that stage...sometimes it was hard to tell between the newness of their relationship now, and the apparent intimacy of their past relationship what was proper and what wasn't. Instead of dwelling on that too much, she settled down next to him and moved the tray between them so they could eat.

"I doubt you could offend me, even if you tried…But I know you'll never try to, Isamu. It's one of the many, many reasons I love you.”
Isamu smiled down at her, she trusted him so much but he knew no one was ever perfect and you were bund to make mistakes at some point, yet, Hotori was so sweet and kind and forgiving. He knew she would never take anything to heart and she was not one to complain ardently if she was ever hurt but Isamu wanted to ensure she would never be hurt. It was true that he loved her but she was such a wonderful person he knew she did not deserve any grief or sorrow but all the joy in the world and he was willing to let her have it and keep her safe form anything that would do otherwise. It was strange but, they had loved each other in another world and fate brought them together again it was their one chance to be happy and he would take that opportunity with everything that came along. He loved her and come what may he would stand by her side and fight it all just to be with her and never be parted again throughout the ages of this world or any other. He caressed her cheek and whispered her name, his amber eyes looking deeply into her emerald orbs, she was quite a sight to behold and he was the lucky one to be entrusted with such jewel. He smiled and closed his eyes for a moment, he could not believe how tried this wound had made him.
“I’ll talk to my aunt about it…Somehow…if anyone knows anything, I have the feeling she does.”
He smiled at her and smirked when she made that funny gesture as the idea came to her mind. He nodded and said, “You may be right.” He wondered if her aunt was as nice as Hotori, she had to be, if Hotori turned out to be such a sweet child. He smiled at the thought he kept his eyes closed, in all honesty he was a bit overwhelmed by all those memories and the wound itself, he needed some time to clear his mind, he decided.
"They still do that, actually…If Haru-kun feels like getting smacked, he'll tell me to hold Papa's hand before crossing the street…Sei-kun will sign gifts 'from Mama Sei'. I never knew why they did it, and the only time I asked, Haru-kun said it just seemed like the thing to do. I suppose it makes a little more sense now…”
Isamu could not help it but to laugh, “Sounds about right…” yes those were similar to the memories that came to him and he slowly opened his eyes to look at her, Haru was quite fond of teasing Hotori wasn’t he? He was sure Sei was not so intent but this guy, he was a running joke and he teased everyone he even recalled being teased himself. But he learned that with time, the man would not do it to annoy others but he was simply that way and he could not help himself. In a way he was glad Hotori had those two as her Seishi not only because they were good friends and loved her well but also because their personalities went so well with her own. He feared the only one who felt out of place for a time had been…himself. Isamu had taken a long time to adapt, far longer than now and it was probably only because he knew deep down that he and Hotori had had a story together, all he had to do was look into her eyes. And then this wish that grew within him of pleasing her and making her happy.
"Isamu...Your lovely soft hair, and your beautiful eyes that shine like the stars at night...I can't imagine a more pleasing sight…And I confess I'm fond of being held in your strong, gentle arms…”
He smiled when she blushed, it made her look so adorable. He was truly in love with her. He closed his eyes feeling her caress his hair and cheek, it seemed to relax him whenever she touched him. His eyes poly opened to realise his own cheeks were rather warm now and he was impressed she should tell him things like that when she looked so innocent and sweet. He liked it though, it meant he was appealing to her and though he knew he was good-looking, it was good to hear he was her type. Not that he would have chained anything about himself to become the kind of man she could love. He did not do dishonest…
He smiled and said, “I am glad I please you so, Hotori, I am all yours…” He caressed her cheek and welcomed the kiss she granted him. As she lift he gave her one last smile and lied at her. He looked up at the ceiling trying to locate the pain, he knew he disliked that manager but now, now he had won his hatred… How dare he contract one of the best bodyguards in the area and then play that little joke of his? Something was aloof and he knew it, he would get to the bottom of it before he could do anything to get Hotori hurt. His eyes met Haru’s as he readied to look at his injury once more. He tried to sit back but all he could manage was to lean on his healthy side and grant Haru full gaffes to the other shoulder.
”Yeah, you should've heard Hotori chewing that guy out about it. I think it's the first time I've ever seen the little duck get that mad.”
He was a bit surprised, he was not sure it had been a god idea she called that man and let him know they discovered his little joke, but he was silent for a moment, he would have to act quicker than he had expected. But he would first learn the reasons behind this pathetic amateur assault. “I’m only sorry I did not realise this sooner…” If only he could have guessed this, but who could have told him the same person who hired him would do something like this?
“I told you before, and I'll tell you now...what are friends for? I don't know how much you remember, but one thing hasn't changed from that past life until now...you looked after Hotori when I wasn't there to, and that means a lot to me. She's like family, and I hate to think about what that guy did…”
He nodded, “I remember a couple of times…” He recalled the first time he met Hotori and the day he saved her although he could not remember anything about the circumstances that brought those incidents together. He was in no hurry to be honest, he felt like he needed a rest form all that thinking. To his last words he said with a smile, “I know, you are papa Haru and Sei is mama.” he chuckled remembering those little facts about his fellow Seishi and he wondered how Haru would react to that.
“It might be sore for a bit, but there shouldn't be any more pain…There probably won't be a scar, even…Though sometimes scars are sexy.”
Isamu blushed lightly at his words, he was rather bold sometimes and he seemed to enjoy teasing him and Hotori for that matter. He then thought about that scar he had on his side, and something flashed inside him, be was not sure what it was yet but he managed to shake his head and leave those thoughts for later. He smirked at Haru and said, “I think I have more than enough scars already.”
“Hotori’s got me on speed dial, so if you guys ever need anything at all, just call. Sei and I will be here in a heartbeat.”
He nodded and said with a smile, “I understand.” He would also have to ensure he had his number so he said, “Tomorrow I will make you and Sei a missed call each so you also have my number.” If they ever needed him to come, since they were meant to protect her not only as her Seishi but as her friends. He then added looking seriously at Haru, “Be weary, I fear this was just a warning of something to come, if you see anything strange, let me know.” And he did mean it, who knew what that idiotic manager could be planning. He still did not understand why he would attack his own celebrity but, maybe he was mad or had lost his marbles or something…
Get some rest, and don't let Hotori be too rough on you…”
He nodded although he could see the mirth in Haru’s words, back then he always considered Hotori was rather rough on him, even from the very beginning when he took quite a beating to keep her safe. Many would think she enjoyed doing that to those who protected her but in all honesty he could never think her capable of anything like that, she was much too sweet and he knew that this happened only because she was the miko and they had been one of the victims of the Fiend.
“And remember...she's not the Miko anymore...Mr. Hottie's all yours, Little Duck.”
"You knew who he was when you started calling him that."
"I had to pretend I didn't...plus it makes you blush, and you're adorable when you do that…Get some rest, both of you. I've got an early class tomorrow, but I'll wake you before I go so you can lock up after me."
"Thank you, Haru-kun. Sleep well.”
Isamu blushed deeply when he got what Haru implied, he sure had a way with his mouth. And he deemed this was not the first time he teased the couple, actually it sounded like he had done many rather improper things to get them together or something and he shook his head at Haru, he was rather sneaky but it honestly never bothered him, that way his way of showing he cared and if he considered Isamu a friend then, he was a very lucky person. He realised he was still blushing deeply when Hotori entered the room and he quickly looked away trying to recover form that comment of his.
“I should've asked Haru-kun to help you change into something more comfortable before he went to bed…”
He chuckled and said, “Don’t you worry Hotori.” He slowly slid off from the bed, Haru was right, he no longer felt the pain although his body was still sore. He then moved to his feet and allow the blood to circulate before he slowly moved to the wardrobe and picked up the loosen black trousers and the sleeveless fray shirt he used for sleeping. He decided he did not have enough energy to go and change elsewhere and could barely stand on his two feet so he would have to hope Hotori would find him as appealing as she claimed. He removed his socks and then took off his shirt showing off the muscles of his fit body and the silver scar on his side. He then took off the trousers but decided to keep his boxers on still. He then put on his pyjamas and moved the clothes to a basket.
He slowly made his way back to the bed feeling much more tired now, he could not believe such an easy task could take so much effort from you when injured. He leaned forth and kissed her lips teasingly before he snatched a bottle of water form one of her pockets like a thief and he smirked before he drank the whole bottle. He then waited for her to start eating before he joined her, he examined her eyes curious to see if she had actually liked what she had seen.

“I understand. Tomorrow I will make you and Sei a missed call each so you also have my number. Be weary, I fear this was just a warning of something to come, if you see anything strange, let me know.”Haru nodded that he understood. Hotori would be able to give Ismau their numbers. "I'm always wary when it comes to our little Miko..." He admitted in a sincere tone. Even if she was not the Miko now, he felt compelled to protect her and look after her. He left the room, wishing them both goodnight, and went to Hotori's room, shutting lights and stuff off as he went, and double checking that the front door and balcony were both locked up and the curtains drawn. He then went to Hotori's room, and changed into the spare set of sleep clothes he left there for just such an occasion. He then settled into the bed, and called Sei one last time to tell him goodnight. It was odd sleeping in Hotori's room. Usually he stayed in the guest room, but that was now Isamu's room. He grinned as he thought of it...apparently it was Isamu and Hotori's room now... Hotori closed the door to the room after Haru left, and settled on the bed to eat with Isamu. She was a little surprised when he stood, and she watched him curiously for a long moment before she realized he intended to change into his sleep clothes. She wavered for a moment with whether or not it was okay to look when he did so. She had a feeling this sort of thing was something they had done before each other in that past life...but were things different now?She blushed at the thought of watching him change, and of him watching her change, but somehow...it felt as if it was okay to do so. So she watched him, and enjoyed what she saw. He was as muscled and toned as she figured he'd be whenever he held her. she caught sight of a scar on one side, and briefly wondered about it. She would not ask, though, as it was his place to tell her things when and if he was ready. He finished, and joined her on the bed, taking one of the bottles of water from her pocket. She opened her own bottle and took a sip, glad to feel her blush fading. She smiled up at him, her eyes shining with love. He was just as handsome and attractive as she'd known he would be, and she hoped he'd feel the same about her. She watched him drink the entire bottle and chuckled. "Do you want me to get you another bottle of water, darling?" She asked as she set her own bottle on the tray. She reached up and untied her robe, wanting to be comfortable. The gown she wore was nothing super sexy, but she did feel it was a bit more mature than the pajamas she'd worn the night before. She hoped he'd like it, though that thought almost made her blush more. She tossed her robe onto a chair in the room, and began to eat with him. "I can tell you're tired..." She said gently. "After we eat, we'll both get some rest." She leaned over and kissed his cheek before she continued eating. "Let me know if you want more food, and I'll go get it." She added. She wanted to make sure he was taken care of. Wasn't that what you did for those you love, after all?

"I'm always wary when it comes to our little Miko…”
He bid Haru good night and stayed with that thought. He realised he shared that feeling all too well and it was probably something that never left their minds in their past life, when Hotori was the actual Suzaku no miko. They worried for their safety and though he had a feeling this had always been the case for the miko in the Four Kingdoms, Hotori’s struggle had been even greater and that was what made him and Haru worry even more. Isamu was not sure how their past life could affect them now but, he would be on his guard to ensure that now that he had found Hotori again, he could keep he with him and ensure her safety.
After he changed, his eyes met hers and he was pleased with what he saw, on the one hand she was blushing and on the other her eyes showed she truly loved everything about him, even his physique. He smiled and caressed her cheek for a moment getting lost in those emerald eyes. He could probably stare at them all day long and never tried of them, he smiled softly, he could not help but to tease her a little as he leaned forth and whispered in her ear, “Did you like what you saw my love?” He kissed her neck before he moved to eat his share of the food.
“Do you want me to get you another bottle of water, darling?”
He chuckled and stretched lazily once he finished his food and shook his head with a grin, “I believe I will be fine, in any case, I can always steal form yours.” He was teasing of course but he seemed eager to see her reaction to everything he did or said, it was strange but he always looked forward to learning more about his love.
"I can tell you're tired...After we eat, we'll both get some rest…Let me know if you want more food, and I'll go get it.”
He sighed and nodded resting his head on his arms as he lied on the head of the bed, “I guess that will have to be so, but tomorrow I should be better ,according to the Doc over there.” He moved his head in the direction of Hotori’s room and then shook his head, “I am find but…I remember someone with a healthy appetite so if you wish to get some more food by all means, do so.” He winked at her and smiled when she kissed his cheek.
It was then she untied her robe and tossed it onto a chair and he found his eyes examining her even if he did not consciously do so at first, he blushed lightly but was quite taken aback by her beauty. The nightgown was a bit revealing and he felt as if he had been slapped on the face or as if he could use a cold shower at that moment. He felt warm inside and his heart beat increased. He was glad she had finished eating because he was unable to stop himself from taking her in his arms and helping her lie on the bed, he looked intently into her eyes and he whispered, “Beautiful…”
He leaned forth ensuring not to harm her and kissed her lips passionately. He held her closer with one arms and with his free hand he combed through her long green hair indulging in its softness. But his shoulder was still bothering him and he was feeling rather drowsy so he then pulled away and kissed her forehead before he finally entered the bedsheets and waited for his love to join him. He closed his eyes while he waited though, trying to relax and ready his body for the rest he truly needed. Surely he would sleep so much better by holding his teddy.

“Did you like what you saw my love?”Hotori blushed a bit more, looking deep into his amber eyes. "I did. Very much." She confirmed. She returned the kiss. "My handsome knight..." She hoped he would like what he saw as well, when she removed the robe. the gown she was wearing wasn't a sexy nightie by any stets of the imagination, but it was a more revealing gown than the pajamas she'd worn the night before. She usualy wore it on hot nights because it was cool to sleep in...but it was also the most alluring sleeping outfit she owned, adn she really wanted him to find her attractive. She knew he loved her, and it was silly to worry he wouldn't like her appearance, but she just couldn't help it. “I believe I will be fine, in any case, I can always steal form yours.”Hotori chuckled. "Sure you can...if you can get it..." She took a drink from the bottle in question before playfully holding it out of his reach. Her eyes sparkled playfully. She knew his arms were longer than her own, and he'd have no trouble reaching it, but it was still fun to play, just a little. She hoped it didn't make her seem too childish. She was twenty-five, and was often being told to act her age, but she didn't see why being grown up meant you couldn't also have fun sometimes...especially in little quiet moments like this with those she loved. “I guess that will have to be so, but tomorrow I should be better ,according to the Doc over there. I am find but…I remember someone with a healthy appetite so if you wish to get some more food by all means, do so.”Hotori blushed faintly. She got so much exercise walking everywhere, as she tended to do, and otherwise being very active that she did tend to eat more than a girl her size usually did. She could tell it didn't bother him, though. She shook her head and smiled at him as she finished her food. "I am fine, my love. Just ready for some sleep, to be honest." Since both of them were finished eating, she gathered up everything, and, after leaning over to give him a very quick kiss on the forehead, carried their things to the kitchen. She threw away the empty bottles and paper plates, and put the tray away. She made sure the leftovers were put up, and double checked the locks one last time before she returned to Isamu's room. She removed her robe, and tossed it aside, watching him for a reaction. "Beautiful..."She saw his blush, and noticed the way he took in her appearance, and it made her blush a little as well. It seemed he liked what he saw, and for that she was overjoyed. She allowed him to lay her down on the bed, and returned the passionate kiss with one of her own, wrapping her arms around his neck. She could not help but teasingly use his earlier words against him. "Did you like what you saw, my love?" She felt a bit sad when he pulled away, but she understood. She moved to turn off the lamp by the bed before she crawled under the blankets by him. She settled into his arms and placed a soft kiss on his lips. "Rest well, Isamu. I'll be here all night should you need anything at all." She then settled her head against him, and put her arms around him in return. She closed her eyes and slowly relaxed into sleep. She didn't dream at first, but eventually she began to have that old nightmare where she felt herself chained somewhere dark. It was more clear, this time, though she still couldn't make out any details about the person holding her captive. She was chained to a wall, and the man there with her kissed her harshly, she panicked, knowing what he was thinking of doing to her, and fighting as much as she could. He cut off her clothes, and hit her a few times. This time, however, unlike the other times she'd had the dream, though, someone came to her rescue. Isamu appeared and fought with the man, eventually knocking him out and freeing her, though he was injured in the process. The next part was a bit of a blur, but she was aware that they went to an inn, and Haru arrived to heal him, just in the nick of time. The dream then melded into something far more pleasant. She had undressed with the intent of going into a hot spring when she noticed Isamu was already there. She watched him for a bit before she slipped and fell in, landing in his lap. Apparently that was when they'd confessed their love for one another. She smiled in her sleep as they splashed and played and laughed like children. It made her so happy. And then for a long time he'd held her close and whispered words of love in her ear, and she knew that what they had was a bond that would transcend time and space. Part of her realized these were not just dreams, but more memories of that past life, and had she been awake to actually think about it, she would've blushed like a tomato at the fact that he'd apparently seen her undressed more than once...

"I did. Very much… My handsome knight…”
Isamu grinned with pride at the blush and words that confirmed what he expected. He was aware of his reputation as a handsome young man even if he were not a bodyguard as he currently was. But there was something rather pleasing about being fund attractive by the one who loved you. Besides, Hotori always looked rather cute when she blushed. He placed a hand on her cheek as his deep amber eyes examined her emerald ones, she was so beautiful he could not believe she was unaware of this. Were the boys at her University blind or something? Well it is their loss and his gain in all honesty.
“Sure you can...if you can get it…”
He raised an eyebrow but decide to play her little game. When she moved the bottle away from his reach he made her lose balance so that she would rest on the bed and he leaned over her, he smirked and kissed her lips teasingly while one hand moved to snatch the bottle of water. Once he achieved so he moved back and winked at her and took a sip from the bottle before placing it back on her hand. Surely she knew he could not say no to a challenge…especially one of those small challenges that Hotori seemed to be so fond of playing. He did not care, actually he enjoyed them himself.
“I am fine, my love. Just ready for some sleep, to be honest.”
He smirked, “Have I told you already how adorable I think you look when you blush?” He kissed her forehead and then shrugged at her words he did not mind people with big appetites besides it felt like she and had always been that way eve in that past life. But if she said she was not hungry then he would believe her. Besides, it was a little late and when you missed the time to eat then you lost the desire to eat something.
"Did you like what you saw, my love?”
He smirked and rolled his eyes, “No, which is why I am complimenting you and kissing you right now.” He said sarcastically before they set in the bed. He only hoped she realised that he meant every word, ever compliment, ever moment where he held her tight and told her that he loved her. All that was real and he loved her as much as he said he did.
"Rest well, Isamu. I'll be here all night should you need anything at all."
When she joined him in the bed he returned the kiss and held her against him, like the night before, and while he drifted to sleep he whispered, “All I need is you.” That night he slept better than ever before and he knew it was because he was holding his beloved in his arms. He was still alert in case anything happened around them. But he had trained for years to be able to sleep or rest even while still protecting those who need his aid. He kissed her forehead even while he still slept and he enjoyed the feeling of holding such a soft, warm and lovely young woman in his arms. He was not sure how long he slept for but he knew Haru had left already to go to class and Hotori looked as if she had joined him in bed later, she probably had to unlock for her friend to leave and lock again. He slowly moved way to ensure not to wake her up and then went to the door to ensure all locks were placed correctly.
He realised he felt much better but he wanted to clean himself, he entered his bedroom once more and he took a shower, once done he dried his hair mainly, he then dried his body but not so well. When he came out he had his towel around his waist and droplets of water would pour down his chest elegantly, his hair and fringe also had some droplets. He shook his hair lightly looking at his beloved for a very long moment. He finally found her it seemed, after looking for a lifetime.
