Hyuga was there when she finally woked up the next morning. Yui opened her eyes slowly, blinked at the morning light filtering into her room and stretched. She extended her arms over head, her lithe body arching off the bed supplely like a cat stretching after a nice nap in the sun. Her head tilted up slightly as she yawned making a soft unintelligible sound. A hand lowered to cover her mouth as she yawned again while turning to her side and again opening her eyes to finally notice him.
"... Hyuga!"
He smiled at the sight of a flustered Yui sitting up in her bed, the sheets drawn up nearly shoulder-high and rubbing her eyes awake.
"Good morning," he greeted pleasantly, "How do you feel?"
"... Fine, thank you." She blinked and looked at him uncertainly, suspicion darkening her eyes. She glanced down at herself and blinked again. "I'm in my nightclothes," she observed.
"Yes, you are," he confirmed.
She looked back at him this time to glare. "You didn't?!" The words came out heatedly.
"I did," he confirmed her accusation calmly, then smiled, teasingly adding, "A favor for a favor."
"..."
"At least, I didn't give you a sponge bath," he reasoned, and she turned crimson at the idea. ...Although, it was quite tempting... The memory of her nude form flashed through his mind. ...very tempting..., he corrected himself.
Her eyes met his hesitantly even as her jaw clenched, determined. Those golden eyes closed and opened again to look at him questioningly. "What happened...?" They widened, and automatically she shied away from him, remembering. "No..."
He felt helpless as she pulled her knees against her body, threw her arms around them protectively and stared at him defensively. "No..." She whispered again, her golden eyes lost in the pain of his memories.
Yui! He got up from his chair and bent towards her. Yui followed his movements almost hypnotically. "Control them!" He whispered harshly as he reached out a hand to her face. He flinched when Yui moved away from his touch. No... I will not lose you... I won't!
She struggled when he embraced her, his arms holding her firmly as he kneeled in front of her.
"No!" Yui cried out and fought him fiercely. She punched, scratched, kicked and even bit him, trying to force him to let her go. "Please... fight them..." He whispered softly in her ear even as she socked him hard on the jaw. He held her tighter instead. ...Fight them... His eyes closed. ...Fight my pain...
Finally, slowly, she relaxed, her body trembling with exhaustion against his. He felt something wet on his face and opened his eyes, glancing at her.
"... How could you..." Her voice was shaken. He felt her hands relax against his chest, and he loosened his hold, straightening slightly to look at her. Her eyes were bright with unshed tears. "How could you live with so much pain, Hyuga?" She asked softly. Her eyes closed, and more tears fell. "How?"
He closed his own eyes and held her closer, pressing his face against her hair. He sighed softly. "I do not live, Yui. I just survive."
...to live...
He felt featherlight kisses on his throat. His eyes flickered open for an instant before he lowered his head to nuzzle her ear.
It is a stalemate between Lady Yui Gaspar and I.
She sighed, her hands moving to unfasten his tunic, his own running across her back, massaging through the fine material.
Her very knowledge of my presence prevents me from accomplishing my tasks. She is a worthy opponent and an excellent fighter. She will not be easy to subdue.
Her hands moved over his chest wantonly, fingers skillfully playing over the taut flesh. He shuddered when she ran her lips from his throat down to lick his one of his nipples, tasting him through the cloth.
Neither can she turn me over to the authorities. Doing so would sign her own sentence. Her only hope and chance is that I attack her outright. If I did, she could claim self-defense, and my own action would be the proof that I am an enemy. My word here is nothing compared to hers.
He unlocked his arms from around her and moved away, even as she blew teasingly on his chest. She smiled, watching as he shrugged the shirt off and proceeded to remove the rest of his clothes.
It is a stalemate. I cannot do anything,
and neither can she as long as I do nothing...
**********************
... He is gorgeous... Long ebony-black
hair matching night eyes. He smiles at me, casually removing his glasses
and tossing them aside. His body is bronze-gold, supple and lean, reminding
me of a marble god... skin silky smooth and long muscles flexing lithely
as he moved closer again...
...Stop him.. The words ran flickering through her mind, and she barely murmured a protest when his lips finally claimed hers. Yui moaned softly as the warm weight of his body pushed her deeper into the bed. Her hands pressed against his chest hard, and she wrenched her mouth from his. "Hyuga..."
His eyes were intent as he lifted his body off hers, supporting himself on his arms. Yui shuddered as he brushed against her. His gaze narrowed, seeing her reaction, and a small smile curved his lips. "Yes?" He asked silkily, the single syllable sounding all too sensual to her ears.
Her mouth dried and her throat was suddenly tight as she struggled to say something. ... She felt light-headed, and her skin was overly sensitive. A wayward caress from his hovering body more than enough to cause her muscles to clench nervously in excitement.
He suddenly lowered his head, he kissed her gently before moving down to her throat. The tip of his tongue traced delicately before flicking sensuously at the hollow of her neck. She moaned, almost missing his quiet, "What is it, Yui?"
Yui closed her eyes tightly and turned her face away from him. ...What am I doing...? She trembled again as his loins settled on her hips, a knee nudging her legs apart. She could feel him between her thighs. Hot, pulsing purposely as it pressed against her. Only her clothes separated their bodies, and the sheer fabric provided little deterance against passion.
Stop him! Common sense
shouted at her. She stiffened as his hand slid under her head, turning
her face back to him, and his lips was kissing her again, his mouth, hard
and demanding on hers. He's only using you...
you know that! His other hand moved to her waist, the strong
fingers trailing down her body... I know...
***********************
Her mouth softened, and Hyuga sighed when she finally kissed him back. Her hands pressed firmly against his chest moved leisurely up to encircled his neck, her fingers burrowing and tangling in his hair, urging him closer. Relaxing, he allowed his upper torso to go down. She moaned, the sound near identical to his when her breasts pressed into his chest.
Releasing her mouth, he moved his head lower, running his lips down
the creamy flesh. He moved his hand down to cupped and fondle one soft
mound, while he teased the other with his mouth. She quivered to his touch
as he licked the sensitive tip, biting sensuously before taking it into
his mouth.
The soft noises she makes... The way her
body responses to mine... She causes me to forget the purpose of my actions...
I know what I am doing. I am pleasuring her... All that I have at my use
and disposal... even my body is a weapon, a means to an end... It is not
the first time I serve another's gratification. I have been used many times...
forced... against my will... but this time... I want this... I want her.

Azuire sighed softly as he shifted his position. If he didn't move once in a while, his limbs would cramp from sitting still too long. He was on the roof of his house. From there, he had a bird's eye view of his niece's house.
Hmm... He held a hand over his eyes and scrutinized the setting sun. ...Late afternoon... He looked back at the house. Still nobody coming out... He had been watching and waiting since early morning. He sighed again. Youngsters!
His stomach rumbled again, protesting his day-long fast. ...All right, all right... He finally stood up and stretched long and hard before going down.
... Be careful, Yui...
Author's note:
That is it! I'm never going to even try to write another LEMON! ^^;; Sheesh! This chapter took longer to make than all the others combined. I am not good at this.
