The air was warm and so moist when genltly brushed over bare flesh, whispering over one's ear and gracing the room with its comforting presence. There was no need for silk sheets during the day, and hardly any need more much clothes at night. What Alyssa wore this evening wasn't much, a simple nighty with gold orchids embroidered across it. It was red, of course, silk and soft to the touch. It showed no resistance in highlighting her curvature as she walked, which didn't occur to her at the present time.

Her feet were silent against the wooden floor of the home so graciously donated by two of Tokyo's more wealthier citizens, who now resided in the kitchen still ... somewhat living. However those two were not the reason she was currently searching the house. Gently she slid the door to the side and glanced into the room before letting it fall upon her hand. The soft glow of light against polished precious metal met her gaze and she smiled, it seemed to reflect herself. Her thoughts and feelings towards her new life, and towards her new husband. It also served as a reminder to continue looking for him.

With a push she moved the door aside alittle more and entered the room. There was one more she hadn't checked, all that separated her from it was a few steps and a thin sliding door. She took those steps closing the distance between her and the door. 'Kris?' it came so soft she paused. Gently she pulled on the door.

Kris stared out onto the Tokyo landscape. The small manor they had aquired sat on the Mountain, not far from the city, but not too close they would attrack attention. If wanted they could go down into town, and have a trip see the night life.

He turned as he heard the door open, and Allys's voiced called out his name and he turned and smiled, moved towards her and embraced her:

"Baby, this place is beautiful, and your beautiful. Life is perfect, and my life is forver with you."

He leant forward and kissed her on the lips:

"So what do you want to do this night?"

'For a second I thought I had lost you somewhere.' Alyssa smiled against his lips as her kissed her so gently and she looked up to him. 'Hmmm what should we do ...' the rather obvious answer was in the smile that still curved at her full lips. 'What should I do with the perfect husband in the perfect place at the perfect time ...?' Gently she leaned forward giving his nose a gentle nuzzle with her own. 'Have you any ideas?'

With tenderness she wrapped her arms around him as he had done to her and placed her head against his chest. He was warm from the blood they had taken earlier and his skin was so smooth and pale he reminded her of a perfected statue made of marble. It was enough to be with him like this, but if there was something he wished to do she would stay silent till he spoke of it.

"Hmmm, something to take the night with us, after all it is our honeymoon, and I want to spend as much time with you as I possible can."

He ran a hand though her hair and pulled her in closer. Then he picked her up and led her though the house, and up to the highest balcony. He sat her down on the couch on the balcony, then sat down beside her.

"Maybe tonight, we can hit the city, have a look around, and then return here later for a bit of a...lets just say rest."

He smiled and placed an arm around her, pulling her in:

"What do you think?"

Liv had to close her eyes when he ran his fingers through the ebony strands. She gave a rather girly giggle as he lifted her and took her to the balcony. She sighed contently now that his arms were back around her and she smiled. 'I would like to see Toyko ... I've never actually been out of Dematre ...' Alyssa paused long enough to realize how sad that was then looked up into his eyes. She leaned into him slightly, catching his lips with her own in a soft kiss before she drew back, barely an inch between the two of them.

'And if we are to be "resting" later ... well ... that definetly sounds well with me.'

Kris smiled and stood up, then helped Alyssa to her feet.

"Well we'de better go and get dressed for going out, wouldn't you say?"

Without waiting, he took her by the hand and smiled:

"So what we going to wear tonight?"

(Bit of Godmodding, sorry)

He began to walk her through the house while waiting for her reply.

(its alright I think I did some too)

Alyssa walked beside him taking quick glimpses into the rooms she hadn't seen yet before finally looking to him.

'I suppose something ... maybe stylish and comfortable ... depends on what you want to do honey.'

In the closets there was the clothes from the wealthy owners and somewhere lying about the house was their own. At first she thought about just wearing what she had on ... but people might have thought a nighty was too much ... or too little in her case. She smiled, 'Maybe clash the two themes, a little goth with some japanese.' She paused recalling something she had seen in the front room when they had first came. 'They also have a weapons collection ... we could borrow a few items.'

Her blue eyes glanced up to him and she slowed her steps as she realized something. 'Kris ...' Her voice was soft, full of the admiration and thanks she carried in that moment. 'whatever we wear it doesn't matter to me ... I'll go in this ... just as long as I can be with you.'

"Same with me my love, as long as I can be with you till the end. I like your thinking on the clothes. Though do you want to get undressed and dressed in a seperate room to suprise me, or just in here?"

He looked around the room, and headed over and took off his jacket, the searched through the closet to see if there was anything of worth wearing. After selecting a mixture of Goth, and a few oriental pieces he laid them out on the bed. Japanese style trousers, and belt, black top decorated with a dragon, choker, spiked arm band, which if nescessary could be lethal, and his long leather black coat, used for concealing, all his weapons.

"So where will you be gettig dressed?"

Alyssa quirked a brow with interest as he selected his attire, then stepped forward slowly to begin her own. 'I guess I will dress here. It feels alittle awkward ...' She smiled as she looked over her shoulder to him. 'It reminds me of that night in the dressing room ... I was so nervous ...' She blushed just slightly due to the fresh blood. 'Now that we are married maybe the awkwardness will pass.'

Her gaze turned to the wardrobe and hesitatingly she combed through the items that came somewhat close to peeking her interest. The woman that was one of the former residence was either too old for good taste ... or just had a bland since of style to begin with. Alyssa liked a challenge and this seemed like one. Gently she pulled a corset (the only thing worth recognization in the closet) and jacket from the closet.

The satin corset was a bright red, with a embriodered gold dragon on the right and a black on the left. The clasps and trim were black as well. No adjustments needed. She joined the corset with a pair of black pants and boots from her own attire and finished it off with the jacket which matched the pants.

She had decided against the jewelry and weapons, thinking the outfit would be too much with them.

Alyssa looked up to Kris as she pulled the straps of her nighty over her shoulder, letting it fall. 'Where will you be dressing?'

He nodded as he rememebred that night.Then smiled smiled as he Alyssa pulled out her attire, then rememebred he had forgotten his boots. He walked back over and got them out, black, with silver fasteners, then when he had turned back he saw a most Beautiful sight:

"Wow, you really are th emost beautiful person I have met, and had the priviledge of being with. It is a little awkward, but I guess since we'll be with each other for quite a time, were going to have to get used to it."

He smiled and walked over to her, then kissed her. Then took of his trousers and embraced her:

"I think, maybe we should get ourselves, done up, a shower perhaps, No, I noticed they had a spa, quite a large one. We might still have the smell of death on us, not good for, meeting people. WHat do you say?"

She giggled at his reaction. 'And you my darling, are the most handsomest person I have ever known.' She leaned into him as he took her in his arms and kissed her. His skin was so warm against hers she was giddy with the thought that the warmth wouldn't be taken by clothes.

'I think a spa would do us good ... we had better dispose of our gracious hosts later though if we don't wish the odor of spilt blood with us ... perhaps in the morning after we've had our fun.' Alyssa placed her lips against his before smiling and taking his hand. She kept him close as she guided him to the spa.

Kris followed suite and made mental notes of the house layout, and where they could begin their time of rest. They could hear a banging downstairs, but since the nearest house was in Tokyo city, a good mile away down the mountain, it was unlikely anyone else would.

The house was highly decorated, with ancient chinese designs, suits of Samurai armor, Dragons along the walls, everything was set out like a warlords stronghold. It was beautiful.

The door they walked thorugh led into highly decorated, ancinet chinese style Baathroom, with a large central spa unit, it was constantly filled by little fountains that bubbled the hot water into the Spa.

Kris walked over, and stood next to the edge of the spa, then looked back:

"Well ladys first"

She smiled ignoring the constant noise coming from their captive hosts, they would be silent soon enough. Her gaze was set contently on Kris meanwhile, watching him look around in wonder at the decor of the unique home. She turned her attention hesitantly to the spa and slipped in waiting for Kris.

When he had come in she came behind him and gently rubbed his shoulders pressing silken lips against his neck. 'Mmm maybe when we return to Demaitre we should decorate our home like this ... it'll be like we never left.' The hot water ran over her skin. Alyssa noticed ever since she had become a creature of the night there was an obsession with warmth. It was so intimate ... so comforting ... The fact that her new husband was beside her only proved to increase this feeling. Not like it was a bad thing though.

Kris watched as Alyssa slipped into the water, she looked like an ancient Greek Goddess, maybe even Athrodite. He followed Suite and entered the water, it felt strange and yet it felt nice to feel the warm water upon his usually cold skin. He cralwed over and sat next to Alyssa, then picked her up and sat her on his lap, due to the depth of the spa, they were both covered up quite well:

"You know, I'm going to aquire us one of these, and a bigger house, maybe one of the mansions in the posh part of town. One where the owner is too old and never leaves the house, just for us."

He took up a sponge, soaked it in the hot water and ran it down his beloveds back.

"You think we could stay in a place like this, even if we aquired all the parts needed?"

She closed her eyes and gently pressed against him feeling the warmth of the water glide over her skin. 'I think I would definetly like one of these.' She kissed his lips gently and smiled against them. 'Live in a mansion with my prince charming ... make love in our very own spa.' Chills trickled down her spine as the sponge ran up her back. Alyssa gave her husband a quick mischievious look before stealing it from him and gently patting his cheek with it. She giggled. 'We should do something like this ... I don't think I could leave Tokyo if we didn't.'

(I'm not sure which way she's facing so ... yeah)

She turned in his lap so that she now faced him and gently ran the sponge over his chest. 'Could you imagine doing this every night?'

He let her turn round and shivered a bit as the water ran down his front:

"I can imagine this everynight my Love, thought my imagination always has you init."

He leant forward and kissed her on the lips. Then gently lifter her of his lap and sunk down under the water, he still had the habit, even after 900 years of holding his breath. He was only now getting over the fear of not being able to breath, which he thought weak, but he was manageing a lot better with Alyssa around. He plyfully pulled her down under the water, and let her lay on top of him, he lifted his head and kissed her again.

If he had had a camera on him, he would of taken a picture of this perfect moment, but he didnt, but he had a few more years to remember it. He sent a telepathic message to Alyssa So, how much loger you want to stay here? In this Spa, in Tokyo, this is pratically our house now, apparantly noone even knows what the couple who live up here look like. It's ours, but were going to get a bigger, rich mansion back home, me and you and .... kids, heh, never mind.

He sat back up, his heart, if it was still around, dropping. He knew there was no way for them to have kids as such, one of the many drawbacks, one he had never given thought to before, until now.

Alyssa almost paniced as he pulled her into the water. If he was still finding it difficult to not hold his breath after nine hundred years ... she was definately having trouble. But his lips touched hers and instantly she lost her fear of not breathing and found herself in his kiss. She listened to his voice, so soft and warm like silk across flesh.

Then before she realized it he moved to sit up and she went with him, she saw in his eyes what he was thinking and gently wrapped her arms around him. 'Kris ...' With slender fingers she drew back a few silver strands that hung in his face before speaking. 'I know that it is difficult accepting what limits we have. But think of all that we have, all that we can do ... I want children as much as you my love ... but.' She sighed, silence seemed to finish the rest of the sentence as she quietly looked into the water. Her eyes closed and she gently rested her head against his chest. 'We shouldn't lament over something we cannot help.'

Alyssa knew there were alternates such as adoption ... which perhaps she would bring up later. Now it was only the thought of their own, what they couldn't have.

(wow that came out really depressed)

(it came out perfect)

"There are some things, this curse, has left us unable to do. I would do anyhitng for you, let you have whatever you want, to see you smile everyday, to laugh. To love. If we had met in different circumstances, would we have loved each other the same way? Would we be here now?....I don't know."

He stood up and walked through the house to the bedroom, where he proceded to dry himself of and get dressed.

'Kris ...' Alyssa followed him and gently took his hand. 'If the circumstances had changed I know for a fact I would never feel any different than I feel now, and I if we weren't here ... we would be somewhere else confessing our love endlessly.' She brought him close a smile gracing her full lips as she looked up into his eyes. 'Don't let things like curses get you down now, this is our honeymoon ...' she leaned into him and gently kissed his lips, her soft voice filling his mind.

And clothes aren't allowed.

She realized she was still somewhat wet but it was the last thing on her mind at the moment. Quite sneakily she reached to take what clothes he had off as she kissed him deeply.

(muhaha taking control.)

(ooh really :suave: )

Kris smiled as Alyssa's voice filled his head, then looked up with sad eyes and returned the kiss then he pulled back a bit and looked at his wife:

"You should really get dried, we'll need to hit the town early."

He sighed and pulled back on the clothes Alyssa had tried to remove. He then walked over to the mirror, which was a waste of time, raised a hand to his eye and wiped away a tear...

"If only...no no matter."

Alyssa watched him wanting to catch his hand in hers once more and comfort him. 'Honey ...' She stepped towards him and gently turned his face so that he looked upon her. Her gaze saw the tears in his eyes and she swallowed hard before speaking. 'Talk to me ... I can't let you be like this ... not now ... not ever ... please Kris.'

Gently she picked up a folded towel from the chest below the mirror and wrapped it around her.

(~bawls~ it's making me sad!!!)

Kris looked to Alyssa, heard her plea, and his thoughts raced back to before he had met her, his time in London, everything. He looked back to her and shook his head to get rid of the tears. Then he reached over and pulled her down onto his lap, and kissed her:

"I'm sorry, I just can't give us what we both want...I shouldn't get sad, I have you, and your all I need. Do yuo still want to go into town?"

She gently combed her slender fingers through his hair and kissed his forehead before speaking. 'Don't take all the blame sweetheart.' Alyssa smiled against his skin. 'If your still up to going, I guess so, it's still rather late.'

She sat on his lap unmoving, waiting for his response. Her blue eyes watching his, hopeful that he wouldn't hurt anymore.

"I'm up for anyhting, after all this is our honey moon, maybe I over reacted, maybe I always will when it comes to family things. But I still, and always will love you."

He stood her up, and stood up next to her, then kissed her on the lips.

"I want to make the night what you want to make it, to be with you is all that matters."

he stood and took her to the window, running his hand thorugh her hair..

"You know.in fact lets stay in..our first real night in as a couple, maybe start with a feast..or a blood orgy with our two hosts."

He grinned, feeling a little embarrased for suggesting such a thing, and looked out the window..

Alyssa smiled as she felt his fingers run through her hair and she turned to face him.

'Blood Orgy?'

She giggled delightedly, though that wasn't what she had in mind. Gently she laced her fingertips up his arm and pushed back the hair that hung over his shoulder so that his neck was exposed to her.

'I kinda wanted you all to myself ...'

She gave a somewhat interesting smirk before bending over slightly to let her lips caress the skin of his neck. Her intent was to bite, but at the moment she just enjoyed his skin against her own. Alyssa's canines gently brushed over his skin before sinking in. She wrapped an arm around his waist ... alittle disappointed with the clothing and suddenly remembering all she had was a towel.

The fangs sank into his neck and suddenly felt his nature come back and he revels as Alyss'a bite penetrated his neck. He threw his head back and let his fangs show for the first time in ages, well since the last feed.

He reached up and took off his coat and let it fall to the ground, then pulled away from Alyssa, leaving a tear in his neck, and letting his blood flow freely, he removed his blood soaked shirt and leaned into her, he ran a hand though her hair, moved her head to the side and moved down to kiss her neck.

He let his fangs carress her neck soflty and, then bit down hard..returning the bite he had recieved from her. He picked her up and moved her over to the bed, still fangs in, placed her on the bed and waited her next move.

Alyssa gasped as his canines plunged into her throat, it wasn't that it hurt so badly, it was the emotion she felt behind it that nearly knocked her off her feet. Though she didn't have to worry about standing for too long, she felt her feet leave the floor and then the silk sheets against her skin.

Thier blood stained her white towel and gently she took his hand and placed it beneathe the fabric and on her flesh. With hesitence she pulled away and kissed him, tasting her blood on his lips.

Alyssa gently touched his face letting her hand trace his throat and the muscles of his chest. Though she wasn't about to stop there.

Kris shivered and smiled at Alyssa. He leaned in and procceeded to lick the blood from her neck, while gently carresing her with his hands. He leant back, blood over his mouth, lips and then moved into kiss her, deeply, savouring the mix of their two bloods on his taste pallet.

He looked up into her eyes and smiled:

"You are beautiful, more than nature itself.."

He looked and wondered where it was going to go next...

She smiled into his lips as they kissed.

'And you my love are more amazing than anything I have ever known.' Alyssa continued to kiss the man she loved before pausing to look up into his eyes. 'No pants allowed.' Gently she undid his belt and slipped the fabric over his waist. The towel loosened around her as she sat up letting it fall around her hips.

'Kris ...' She whispered softly in his ear as she leant into him. 'Make love to me.'
