Dark Edge Village

She had dropped off some things at her yurt on the way back from the Western Fields. A very sleepy Satsujin was not one of them, however, the weasel refusing to be left behind and Amaya not having the heart to force him. Her throat still felt a little raw after her performance at the Duelling Field, and she was strangely tired, not physically so much as emotionally.

Reaching Hideo's yurt, she scratched at the flap.

Hideo had been preparing to leave when he heard the scratch on the tent flap. He opened it, and a smile instantly broke out.

"Amaya-chan" he said warmly "please come in. I hope you are well?"

She enters, and smiles nervously. She is still wearing the kimono she borrowed from Hitako, its colour a handsome complement to the fan that he had gifted her the previous night. "I am well. How has the day treated you?"

"The day has treated me well." He says, closing the tent flap as she enters..and without warning wraps his arms round her and pulls her in for a long, deep kiss.

She throws her arms around his neck, burying one hand in his hair, meeting his kiss with rising passion.

He eventually broke the kiss, whispering "I have been wanting to do that ever since your song. You were amazing, and your kimono..." he kissed her again, only pausing long enough to say "I love you" before claiming her lips again.

He doesn't give her the opportunity to reply, and she doesn't ask for one. Her hand grips his shoulder and her lips part under the heat of his kiss.

Eventually, more for breath than will to stop, the kiss breaks. He looks her deeply in the eye, flustered and hot, and holds her. Not allowing her to move away.

There doesn't seem to be words for the moment, and she holds his gaze. Her fingers twist gently in his hair and her breathing is rapid.

Hideo was equally without words. His hand strokes along her back, and his breath is hot against her face. Eventually he claims her lips again, moving her away from the entrance to the yurt and towards the middle without moving away from her or breaking the kiss.

She melts against his body, following where he guides her, pressing against him. She pushes up on her tiptoes to kiss him more deeply.

He eventually breaks the kiss again, standing still as he breathlessly holds her. "I could do that all night" he manages to say between breaths, his thoughts very much on her lips and more

Breathlessly, "then do so. I am yours, completely."

Hideo doesn't reply with words. Instead he claims her lips again in another hungry kiss, moving down to meet her and brings his hands up to run through her hair.

Her hands slide down from his shoulders. One circles his waist, resting just above the sash, pressed to the hollow of his spine. The other takes hold of the robe's left collar where it crosses over the right, holding there as if to pull him down to her hot, demanding mouth.
