The pre-party Party (D10 LE Hideo's Yurt CLOSED)

[Seppun Hideo]

"I know" Hideo smiles "finally, it will be over and we can be together. No more waiting, or events, just the rest of our lives."

He gives her a gentle squeeze.

"Tea, my love? Or something else? I could warm the sake for us."

[Ide Amaya]

"No longer living on the whim of forces outside our control." She takes a deep breath and blinks up at him slowly, smiling, "sake feels appropriate tonight."

[Seppun Hideo]

"Sake it is. Anything to make you smile" He gives her another gentle kiss before reluctantly letting go and moving to collect one of the sake bottles and using the hot water in a cup he places the bottle in it to warm up.

"I cannot decide if time has gone too fast or too slow. Reaching this point has felt like a lifetime but time is different when I am with you."

[Ide Amaya]

She watches with a loving expression, carefully seating herself on a cushion, "it has been a lifetime to reach this moment, and in return we have a lifetime together."

[Seppun Hideo]

"You have traveled a long way to end up with me, I hope it's been worth the journey" Hideo said as he turned to sit near Amaya, smiling at her.

[Ide Amaya]

Bad memories haunt the edge of her thoughts, but she pushes them away, "there is nowhere else I'd rather be."

[Seppun Hideo]

There was a teasing grin. "Are you sure? If you're comfortable there I'll allow you to stay, but" he holds open his arms "I think I can make you happier and more comfortable here my love."

[Ide Amaya]

She smiles, "how could I refuse?" and she moves to relocate herself to his lap.

[Seppun Hideo]

He slipped his arms round her, holding her gently. "The water will take a little time to warm the sake up enough,
guess that means more time to hold you" He nuzzled into her gently "what have you enjoyed most about this miai?"

[Ide Amaya]

She closes her eyes for a moment, "peach sake," she states simply, and the way it tasted on your lips, she silently adds.

[Seppun Hideo]

Hideo was surprised at that answer. He chuckled "you continue to surprise me, my love. I would have expected you to say the horsemanship, or perhaps your new furry friend. Or..." he leans in to place a gentle kiss on her lips "..this."

[Ide Amaya]

Her lips linger on his, "as much as I love the taste of you, when you have been drinking peach sake..." she trails off, not quite sure how to describe it. "And Satsujin cannot kiss half so well as you do," she teases.

[Seppun Hideo]

Hideo smiled, although he knew the girls eyes were still closed. He moved one hand to test the temperature of the bottle then whispered "Keep your eyes closed my love." He poured a small cup of the not-quite hot enough drink, just to take a sip and make his lips taste of the drink. He then leans back into her again, kissing her deeply.

[Ide Amaya]

She feels the movement of his body, waiting patiently, not knowing what to expect. When he kisses her and she can taste the sake on him, she moans softly, her lips parting a little under his mouth.

[Seppun Hideo]

His fingers run through her hair, holding her to him and kissing deeper. Not breaking away.
