First, legal craps. The game Soul Calibur is a copyright of Namco guys. I thank them for making such a wonderful videogame with cool charas and an excellent plot. And I ask you to forgive me for screwing them up in my fanfic *lol*. I meant no harm but only fun. This fanfic was inspired by a superb fanart I found in Norimaro's Lovely Ladies. It was one of Kilik holding the Kali Yuga (his rod) in his hands, with Xianghua leaning her head upon his chest with the Krita Yuga (her sword) in a hand, while the other was nearly holding one of Kilik's hands, and a semi transparent version of the Dvapara Yuga (the sort of chain made of mirrors Kilik has) was around them... Since then I am obsessed with the idea of Kilik and Xianghua in love. As they were successors of the sacred weapons of Li Sheng Su temple, and apparently Kilik's first crush was Xianghua's dead older sister Xianglian, what could happen? Kong and Xiangfei's (Xianghua's parents) tragic love story starts to play itself again in their remaining daughter? Maybe yes, maybe not... And this is MUSHY and CHEESY, so you fans of fuck-fuck-w/o-any-plot, stop reading right now. You won't like it. I might be wrong about some situations depicted here in this fanfic and possibly the SC charas are OOC, as I just started to play seriously Soul Calibur weeks ago. It's full of spoilers, also. Sorry. Email them to me (GENTLY) and I'll try to correct them.

Dedicated to my betas Minna and Kudou Shin'ichi. No, I WON'T write about Hwang and Mina. Period. This could've been a Yaoi lemon of Kilik and Maxi. I was *seriously* thinking of it, so don't complain. Ah! Dedicated to Sarah Nyugen 'n Jeff Deuce too. Sarah, thanks for recommending my RK story in your Escaflowne lemon, "Two Hearts Beating as One". And Jeff, if it wasn't for your KoF story "Dancing Lesson", I wouldn't be here writing. You both rock, ya know? Sincerely yours (not in THAT way), Hikaru ----- "Better Late than Never". A Soul Calibur lemon. By Amy, a.k.a. Hikaru Shido (suzaku_no_baka_miaka@yahoo.com) A ship was anchored at a populated port of China, waiting for the day to part and search for new horizons or revisit the old ones. The crew was either sleeping or in port searching for a little fun. Kilik was silently staying in the prow. "Kilik, you better pull that broomstick outta your ass and smile a little. Remember, it has been yet a year from that battle. We won over Inferno. Maxi died but not before having his revenge. You won mental and physical strength to dominate the Evil Seed. The Soul Edge was destroyed...". He was saying things like to himself since the very day of the battle, but to no use. Absolutely, he was unable to forget what happened to him. He gingerly caressed the mirror belt on his shoulder. The Dvapara Yuga. The Sacred Mirror Xianglian entrusted him with, and the cause of his salvation. He didn't have to carry it on his shoulders just to prevent being possessed anymore since the Soul Edge was destroyed, but he still kept it to remind himself of everything. And of Xianghua. A year has passed since they learned the truth about their pasts. He knew that the girl who was so skilled with the sword and tagged along with him and his friend Maxi, was the sister of the girl whom he was raised with in Li Sheng Su temple: Xianglian, his sister of all things and his first love, though he didn't want to realize until the moment he killed her in that night of horror... Xianghua was shocked to say the least, but finally came to understand. She even forgave Kilik for killing her sister saying that it wasn't his fault, but Xianglian herself's will, with a serenity that shook everyone to their roots. As if she was expecting them to tell her such things... In those days of quests and fight, Kilik's feelings for Xianghua grew quickly. Kilik denied them repeatedly, telling himself that he liked Xianghua only because he saw the reflection of Xianglian in her, and it couldn't be love at all. He repeated those words of denial every time, even in his sleep. Kilik did his best to hide the red creeping over his cheeks the only time the sensitive Maxi asked him, and since Maxi didn't insist, he thought he succeeded. But after the battle was over and the Sacred Fighters were all gone to return to their lives, the memories of the times he spent with Xianghua, and the few moments they could be alone, were stronger than ever. They were so alike. Both felt lonely all over their lives, masking their loneliness under the hours of training and a smile... Xianghua even asked him if he had fallen even once in love. Kilik told her that he never had. What a great liar he proved to be. Maxi asked him the truth later, and Kilik denied himself to see it once more. But right now, he'd gladly give even his life, just to see Xianghua again and tell her how hard he had fallen in love with her. Then he felt his eyes getting slightly wet. Kilik decided it was time to move on. Darn. If he was gonna cry like a kid, he'd better be moving. No time and use crying over spilled milk. ---- Minutes later, Kilik found himself walking down the port, Dvapara Yuga on his shoulder, Kali Yuga in his hands. He went here and there, aimlessly, wherever his feet carried him. Soon he realized in half anger, half despair, that every girl with brown, chin-level hair he saw, reminded him of Xianghua. His longing for that girl was playing very cruel games with him this time, buster. When he was reaching a sort of park, however, he had a sudden feeling. How didn't he realize sooner... Someone was walking few meters away of him, with short and hesitant steps, trying not to call his attention. And it did quite a good work. He didn't even know since when this stalker started following him... Was it an enemy? Or someone who needed help? As his hand reflexively was clenching the Kali Yuga tighter, however, Kilik heard the sound of a body falling down to the floor. He turned and, to his surprise, the one to blame for... was a woman who had just collapsed. Forgetting everything that happened, Kilik made his way to the fallen woman and, not thinking if this was a trap or if she was faking, scooped her in his arms. Watching at her closer, he could see that she was a young girl, definitely younger than him, dressed in a rather elegant robe... which had a sort of design and stamping only used in the Ming court. "What's an Imperial Maid of Honor doing here?", Kilik wondered. "I'm stuck. Can't leave her alone... gotta carry her to the ship fast...". ----- The girl sighed. Nothing. Meimei left the house they were passing the night, not saying what she was up to, and right now she couldn't get a clue of where Meimei was. She should've never let her go alone... Reflexively, the fingers clutched the hilt of her Krita Yuga, her companion since her mother taught her the basics of swordplay. And yet, it was unuseful. Xianghua was afraid her best friend was in trouble. She asked the man in the restaurant, the woman standing at the door, the mother playing with her child. And none had seen a girl wearing the Maid of Honor robes. She was gone. As if Meimei was engulfed by Gods-know-what... "Hey young lady", a voice said from behind. Xianghua turned, her short hair swaying with her. "Eh?", she wondered, searching for the source of the mysterious voice. Then she found it. A man in his 40's, apparently drunk, leaning against a wall, a very old-looking rod by him. "Searching for someone at night, lady?", he said. "You shouldn't be out so late". Xianghua decided not to take the pun seriously as she was in a hurry. "I and a friend arrived to port searching for a ship", she said. "She went out of our place without telling me and never returned, Mister. I think she got lost...". "Oh", the man said. "I saw a girl a while ago. Wonder if she was the one you're searching for... Nah", he quickly added before Xianghua could ask. "Maybe not... You look athletic, and she looked like a doll with that silk robe... I was possibly wrong...". The word 'silk robe' made something in Xianghua's mind snap. She ran to the man. "Oh yes!", she said. "That's the girl I'm searching for. Mister, where is she? Where?". "Hehehe...", the man laughed delighted at Xianghua's rather childish display of interest. "I dunno". Xianghua nearly went SD. The man bursted out laughing. "Hey Mister, I'm dead serious!!", she protested kicking a stone. "I need to find Meimei RIGHT NOW!!!". The man jumped in his seat. "Okay okay! I'm not in the mood tonight. I would've fought you but now I wanna take a drink". He pulled an alcohol jug outta nowhere and drank a sip. "Well...?", she said impatiently. "Hm", the man said after drinking his sip. "Young lady, your friend fainted in the street, and a fairytale prince with a scar on his cheek, a rod in his hands and a sort of mirror on her shoulders took her away, I think he went to one of the ships. Now lemme drink". The mention of the scar, the rod and the mirror shook Xianghua to her roots. A deep layer of pink colored her cheeks as she realized who the 'fairytale prince' could be. "Hey young lady", the man protested, but somehow he didn't sound stern as he wanted. "Weren't you rushed up? Get your feet in movement and let me drink alone!!". Xianghua came back to reality. She shook her head and made a bow. "Yes mister! Have a good night, and thanks! You've saved me!". She ran away. The mysterious man glanced at Xianghua going to the port. He recalled the sight of the sword that she was carrying. "The Krita Yuga... The sword I gave to 'her' so she could be protected... So, that girl was... ". He sighed before he took another sip. "And the boy had the other Sacred Weapons of Ling Sheng Su... Kali Yuga and Dvapara Yuga... The story plays itself again, like I and she did it about 20 years ago..." He stared at the starry night. "Kong Xiuqiang, life's weird..." Kong wryed. "Maybe that guy will take good care of my daughter... I pray to all Gods he does better... than myself". ----- Xianghua was still quite enthusiastic as she neared to the port, but as she started searching for the ship she thought Meimei was carried in, she could feel a strange flood of timidness invading her. She stood at the sight of the ships, and gingerly fidgeted like a little girl. The young man who saved Meimei... could've been Kilik? At every thought or mention of his name, her cheeks would adquire a red tinge and she'd look down trying to hide the fact that her heart was beating fast. She had a lot of fans in Ming court and Meimei's fellow maidens teased her for it, and some got angry at the fact that she rejected their proposals. But of them, only Meimei knew of the scarred boy who captured her heart. As Xianghua was back to the Ming Empire, she had no secrets to Meimei. She told her about the death of her brother Li Long, of the revelations she learnt from her companions, of Maxi, and of Kilik. Immediately Meimei asked about Kilik. If he was cute, if he was strong, and if she liked him. Xianghua flatly denied it, saying she just admired him because, after all that he had passed, he kept at least half his sanity. But like Kilik, soon Xianghua found herself wondering where he was, if he was doing well, and if he was thinking of her so much as she did. The Imperial Dame and Empress' confident, a woman of culture and wisdom who was like a second mother to her, told Xianghua that girls her age easily get crushes on men who surpass them, and those crushes are usually dropped just as fast. Xianghua thought her case was like that: a simple crush on Kilik, with all that implied, and believed she'd be able to forget him, as it was most likely that they wouldn't find each other in a long time. Time heals wounds, she believed, but in her case, it deepened slowly and subtly, sticking to her skin... "Mother... Sister...", Xianghua wondered while walking through the port watching at each ship closely. "Is this love that I'm feeling? What if he doesn't feel the same way? How can I know? Where is him?...". ---- "Xianghua!!", a voice shouted. Xianghua turned at its source. "Lei!", she said happily as she recognized one of the pirate boys who accompanied them in their trial of destiny, and also one of the few survivors of Maxi's former crew, a large scar on his arm (done by Astaroth's axe) as a proof of it. "Xianghua, I'm so happy to see you're okay!", the guy said as he quickly ran to the girl. "I'm so happy too, my friend. I've missed you so much, guys...". "You know, Kilik has been gloomy since the very day you left!", Lei was talking as if words were running out from his throat, anxious to tell Xianghua something important. "And today it seemed worse. Specially since he's stuck with a sick girl he brought from the park...". "Meimei!!", Xianghua thought momentarily forgetting about Kilik. "...Xianghua?", Lei asked concerned. "... A girl?!", she repeated weakly. "... Are you jealous Xianghua?". * bonk * "Idiot!", she said after she poked the guy in the head with the hilt of her Krita Yuga. "She happens to be a friend I'm searching for! Take me to her, then!". Lei had no other choice but to accomplish. He didn't, however, lose of sight the large blush that still crossed Xianghua's cheeks... --- "Xianghua...", Meimei muttered seeing her friend sitting by the bed she was laying on. Xianghua happily took Meimei's hand and held it in her own. "Meimei, I was so worried. It was luck that I've found you...". The girls were in the poop cabin of the ship, which apparently was left for Meimei since she was, until Xianghua arrived, the only woman in the ship. Lei was by the door, making sure no one molested them. "I feel better, Xianghua, in body and in soul", Meimei said as she sat up and smiled. "In soul?", she asked. "Yeah, my friend... because I met 'him'". Xianghua was sometimes still naive (hey, she was just 17), but she was no dumb, and understood immediately about whom was Meimei talking about. The blush was back to her face quickly as she tried to sink everything that it meant. So Meimei's savior WAS Kilik, after all. Lei understood what was going on in a sec and went out. ----- "... Meimei...", she started, hesitantly. "Xianghua, he's just as I imagined", she said happily. "Handsome and strong. Loyal and kind. He made no dishonest advances while I was unconscious, but took care of me. When I recovered, he made sure no one molested me. He just left some moments ago to let me rest...". The girl brushed away some stray locks from her own forehead, and leaned closer to Xianghua before asking... "So, Xianghua, what's not to love of him?". It was just the perfect moment to ask it. Xianghua has been off guard all this time, she knew it, and wouldn't answer if not with the same truth Meimei could guess behind the unusual glow of her eyes and the red of her cheeks - the same it creeped every time she tried to talk about him and Xianghua brushed it off, preferring to pay her attention and effort to the task of forgetting what she thought it was only a crush. ----- "Meimei... I DO love him". Xianghua uttered those words in a hesitant manner, lips trembling. Finally, she admitted it. She had been lying to herself for months and now she couldn't anymore. "I love Kilik. But does he love me back?". "...". Meimei stood silent, waiting for Xianghua to talk again. Then she saw a single tear rolling down her friend's left cheek. "... I... I'm afraid, Meimei. I've never felt this way, you know. I never had crushes on the guys of the army and always brushed off their love declarations. But now... ". "Okay, Xianghua. There's always a first time", Meimei interrupted her, slightly giggling. "You aren't born knowing everything. But I think...". Meimei suddenly stopped, and turned away. Xianghua brushed the trace the tear left on her cheek. "You think what?", she asked cautiously. Meimei used to be sometimes such a little imp. "I think I'm not the one you should tell that". Xianghua looked pained for a moment. But then Meimei embraced her. "Be so brave as you were when fighting. Your mother and Xianglian will be looking at you from Heavens. Maybe Maxi too. Tell Kilik what you feel for him, be truthful to you both... and let it be. Whatever it is, okay?". Xianghua smiled, her eyes gleaming. She squeezed Meimei's hand and stood up. "Lei will take care of me, don't worry", Meimei said. With her other trouble resolved, Xianghua slowly walked out of the room. Lei saw her walking to the place she betted Kilik would be, and smiled. "Better late than never... Eh, Maxi?", he murmured closing his eyes. ------ In the prow bedroom, Kilik kicked his shoes off and later took off the ribbon tying his long brown hair, letting the dark strands frame his face, neck, shoulders, and back. Huh, his hair was now reaching his waist. He wondered if Xianghua would say something about his much longer than before hair. Xianghua again. He punched the base of the bed he was sitting on, cursing his stupidity. The only woman near to him now was the girl in the poop cabin. He'd never try to take advantage on a woman who was sick, no matter how cute she was. It would make him unworthy of such weapons like the Kali Yuga (which was now resting against the wall, near to the door) and the Dvapara Yuga (still on his shoulders), and worse - unworthy of the people who did so much for him. Of Xianglian, Master Han, Edge Master, Maxi, and... of Xianghua. Kilik's heart started to ache again. But before he could get up, or do anything, he turned to the door. A girlish figure was there. She left her sword resting besides the Kali Yuga, and stood up her height, glancing right at him at the same time she pushed the room's door closed... "No. It has to be a dream", he thought as he recognized who the girl was. "A very... tricky dream...". "... Xianghua?", he asked tentatively. He sounded pathetic. Xianghua nodded in silence. She never was a timid woman, and Meimei already told her what she should do, but right now, she wished to disappear before Kilik realized fully that he wasn't seeing things. But Xianghua forced herself to stay, and not only that, but to also walk closer to Kilik and try to give him her usually playful smile, which only turned out as a sad twitch of her lips... With his naked feet, Kilik took one step. Her brown, brilliant eyes. Two steps. Her short, straight hair. Three steps. Her slender arms -- that were now wrapped around his waist. ---- Kilik wanted to make sure that she * was * there, so he wouldn't ever guess that she would be quicker than him and catch him in an embrace. The moment she rested her head on his chest and nuzzled her cheek against him like a kitten, Kilik was even more confused. This girl couldn't be Xianghua. She wouldn't do a thing like that. Or would she? She sighed contently, feeling she didn't need anything else in that moment. But soon she noticed that Kilik was totally immobile, not making any move to embrace her. Xianghua cursed herself for being so impulsive and selfish, letting her emotions (no matter how pure and sincere she thought they were) blur her judgement. Her slender frame shook violently, but then, Kilik put an arm around her back, hesitantly. She was crying silently, feeling stupid, not wanting to face Kilik. If his eyes were hard, it'd be Death to her. "Xianghua...", he murmured, not knowing what to say but to call her. The girl was still sobbing, face buried on his chest, her arms still around him, her fingers entwined with the tips of his hair. "Kilik, Kilik...", she called him in a small voice, still not daring to look up. In that moment, he regained his senses at 100%. He put his hands on her shaking shoulders and pushed her away slightly to look into her eyes. Xianghua kept her eyes closed, so Kilik did the first thing that came to his mind. He kissed the closed, wet lids, brushing his mouth against them ever so lightly. She gasped in surprise, unused to such a gentle touch coming from a rude fighter like Kilik, but did nothing to stop him. Encouraged, the young man leaned a little closer, and he put his lips on Xianghua's and offered her his first kiss. Xianghua shook a little in surprise, as their lips touched but didn't dare to refuse his move. No woman would reject to be kissed in that sweet way. She slightly pressed into his body, her hands on his chest, feeling how quickly his heart was beating. Even faster than her own. And she was the one who was making him feel that way. Gradually Xianghua relaxed, and tiptoed to return his kiss. She felt something pressing against her lips and, guessing it was his tongue, she parted her mouth to welcome it. He started exploring slowly, until he found her tongue, and they started fighting, entwining playfully. Soon the gentle kiss became a bruising one, as the sensations made the rest of their worries disappear. They both poured all their feelings into their kiss, all the despair, the anger, the desire... the love. Everything they had in their souls, they made it freely flow. They parted for air, and Xianghua dared to open her eyes, to be met with the gentle, sparkling eyes of Kilik. With an expression that she always wanted to see in her love's eyes, ever since she was a child. She didn't talk, just smiled back to him, feeling the weight over her shoulders being lifted off her. Then she had an idea. She quickly lifted a little the Dvapara Yuga of his chest, and slipped herself under it in such a way, that it was now entwined around her body too, not only over Kilik's. Taken by surprise, her lover slightly jumped back and lost his equilibrium and fell on his back and over the bed, his long tresses all spread around. That was something really out of her plan, and took Xianghua off guard completely. She just wanted to be closer to him, to use the Dvapara Yuga as that sort of red string in the Japanese legend she once heard from one of the members of the party searching for the Soul Edge. She didn't really mean to make such a blunt move on him... Then the expression in Kilik's eyes changed. Xianghua looked at him, puzzled. He took the chance she gave him and reversed their positions, wriggling on top with Xianghua under him. But he didn't lean against her frailer body; instead, he used his arms for support. Xianghua didn't get why did he really stop. Then she saw a blush deeper than ever in his cheeks, and understood that he didn't want to go further if he didn't know if she wanted it. No one knowing how powerful she was as a fighter would do something like that. Kilik glanced in her eyes, trying to say in his glance what he couldn't get himself to ask. Xianghua smiled a little getting the message, and decided she'd be the first to move on the subject and try to see how far would he go... "After all", Xianghua thought to herself, "Meimei said I should take all or nothing...". ----- Her decision made, Xianghua wrapped her arms around Kilik's neck, bringing him down and closer to her, guiding his head down. He bend down lower; when he was finally atop of Xianghua, he slowly started to kiss the girl's neck, and she tilted her head backwards, baring every inch of skin. She absently started to comb Kilik's hair, bringing the tresses together, so they wouldn't be much of a nuisance to Kilik's movements. Kilik sucked a little on her neck, and she began to feel an unusual heat starting to unfurl in her body as he did so, a soft whimper escaping from her lips, indicating to him that he was doing right. Xianghua ran a hand over Kilik's well-toned back, covering with her palm the coarse skin, covered with scars. She felt him sighing at her caress and smiled. Kilik's mouth reached her shoulders and her top's neckline. She moaned as he kissed her cleavage, flicking his tongue lightly in the space where her breasts touched... One of his hands slowly went through her skin and caressed one of her breasts through the silky fabric, only with the fingertips. Xianghua moaned louder, and she couldn't help to hold Kilik tighter and closer to her. Kilik decided that he should do something about her clothes. At least he was topless, while Xianghua was still fully dressed. She was wearing the same clothes she was dressed in when they met. Long white gloves with light blue laces, a blue headband on her head, a tight and a little revealing sleeveless white top with golden designs and a red lace on the cleavage, a silk waistband, blue silk pants also with golden designs, and blue shoes. So he pulled himself up, pulling her with him, and sat up. Xianghua was about to protest but he gently took her head between his hands and forced her to slowly slip out of the 'string' the Dvapara Yuga was to them. Then Kilik put a finger over her lips to silence her, and immediately replaced it with his mouth, kissing her hard again. While kissing, Kilik took her gloves off and later her headband. His hands went to her waist and undid her waistband, playfully undoing the knot, and later threw the band aside. She had yet kicked her shoes off, so he shouldn't worry about that. Kilik slipped a hand under her top and caressed her soft back, her skin much smoother than his own. Xianghua trembled at this unexpected touch, but the husky tone of the moan that came let him know that he did no wrong. He enjoyed touching her silky skin, caressing her delicately. It was hard to believe that, with those same hands, he could master the most powerful fighting moves someone could make with a rod. He withdrew from the kiss, and Xianghua lifted her arms so he could help her to take her white top off her. As he did so, however, she took it and covered herself, hugging it against her bust. Kilik then leaned over a candle that illuminated the room, leaving them both in darkness. Xianghua was sitting by the window, and the moonlight was outlining the contours of her cute face and her lean, lithe body. ----- The half darkness was everything Xianghua needed to forget her former timidness. She released the top and it fell, revealing her round, firm, medium-sized breasts, pretty proportioned for a girl who was short. He delicately placed his hand over one of them; it fitted perfectly. She gasped as he did it, feeling her soft nipple harden quickly... Kilik leaned over and started kissing her on the neck and shoulders again, but this time he started to caress her breast with a hand, while holding her closer to him with his other hand. She nearly screamed feeling all the hot sensations running through her body, but bit her lip instead. One of Xianghua's hands leaned against Kilik's powerfully built thigh and nearly accidentally brushed against his arousal. At the same time she straddled his leg, and he felt a wet spot in the crotch of her pants. Trying to be comfortable, he slightly moved his thigh a little up, and the firm muscle pressed hard against her sensitive part. They both groaned in each other's mouths and deepened their kiss even more. As they broke, Kilik lost no time, and once more trailed his kisses down. Xianghua felt soon his warm breath on her right breast, and a teasing touch of his tongue brushing her nipple. Xianghua let out a small cry and knew she was wetter than before. She couldn't help but holding him closer to her body, feeling the constant contrast of the heat of his mouth on her breasts, the silky strands of his hair against her skin, and the cold of the Dvapara Yuga against her naked belly. As she did pull him closer, Kilik started to nibble on her nipples, slightly biting them, his tongue wetting her skin. She arched her back and they both fell onto the bed, his arms around her waist, and her hands on his back. Kilik didn't stop, however, and kept teasing and stimulating her upper body, and a smile formed in his mind as he heard Xianghua murmuring his name softly. Kilik somehow sensed that they were going too fast. Knowing that Lei and Meimei wouldn't let others go near to them, they had all that precious night. Possibly they wouldn't find each other *ever*, and boy, now he wouldn't lose the chance to make Xianghua remember him forever... ----- Instinctively his hands went to her hips and he aparted his own from hers, trying to take her silk pants away. She did the same to his pants, and after some more tries, they were both naked and entwined on the bed, Kilik's long brown hair spread all over them both. Xianghua smiled and held him close. But his plan was different. All of a sudden, he went down and started to place kisses and teasing licks over her flat, smooth stomach. She giggled at the tickling sensation and gasped as he drove his tongue into her navel. She instinctively spread her legs as Kilik's lips reached her crotch, and he positioned himself between her open thighs. He noticed then a tiny stiff bulb in the area, and he kissed it. What he got was more than satisfying, as Xianghua squealed and lifted her hips off the bed, trying to have more contact. Kilik flickered his tongue across the bulb, and got the same reaction but more intense. Without hesitation, he suckled on her clit at a slowly increasing pace, keeping her legs apart with his hands, and occasionally moving his tongue in and out her opening, trying to lick also the sweet, yet slightly sour fluid streaming out of her. Xianghua wasn't disappointing him, as she was bucking her hips up and down, writhing in pleasure, pleading to him to keep on. But being a first timer, she couldn't keep her stamina up much more time, and soon she came into Kilik's mouth moaning his name with breathless voice. ----- Moments later, the still slightly dozing Xianghua opened her eyes as she felt Kilik lying by her side and embracing her by the waist. "... Kilik... I...", she murmured not knowing what to say to show him how grateful she was for everything. Xianghua turned so she was facing him, but whatever she intended to say died as he glanced into his face. Getting what he was feeling, she reached up and gently kissed him on the lips, tasting herself on his mouth, not believing that just a while ago, she was so unsure of her feelings for this strong, yet so frail man... She moved on top to kiss him deeplier, her hand slipping under the Dvapara Yuga. Then she felt his hardness pressing against her naked thigh. She blushed a little, then got that it was her 'fault' that he was having such a reaction, equivalent to her former wetness... Xianghua decided it was her turn to return Kilik the favor, and she covered his shaft with her hand, caressing it lightly. She felt a moan coming from deep inside of her lover's throat, so she took it into her hand and pumped it once more. Kilik moaned again and Xianghua took the cue, settling a rhythm as her hand worked on his quickly hardening member, making with her hand the same he did to her with his tongue. To please the person she loved more than anything, and luckily recognized it before it was too late. A nearly orgasming Kilik was writhing on the bed, his hands grabbing fistfuls of the sheets. But he didn't want to come in that way. He desperately reunited the bits of sense that remained in his lust-fogged mind, and released one of his hands. It went to Xianghua's active hand and gently stopped its movement, taking it. A confused Xianghua glanced at him. Did she do something that molested him? If she didn't, why did he stop her? "It's time, Xianghua", he murmured in her ear. "It's time. I want to come inside of you...". He tried to sound a little serious, but the husky tone of his words blew his cover up. Xianghua then brought her arms up to his waist -- and he lifted the Dvapara Yuga and made it encircle her body too. ----- She didn't resist as Kilik firmly, but gently, pushed her out of top and reversed their positions. Xianghua smiled and opened her legs, while she brought his tresses together at a side of his neck, playfully. Kilik smiled back and then slowly pushed himself into her. This wasn't really what he thought Xianghua would react, however. As soon as his member entered her, she stiffened and held back a scream of pain. Kilik trembled and slightly pushed himself onto his elbows to look at Xianghua. She was pale, and her brown eyes were full of tears. Kilik collapsed on her. "I'm sorry. I... I should've known better that I'd cause such pain to you...". Xianghua pulled him closer and embraced him. "Did we come this far to stop here?", she murmured. "Go on...". Kilik nodded and pushed himself into her again, this time not stopping. As his member touched a delicate, yet elastic barrier, he recalled her words, and without hesitation, pressed himself against it. It broke nearly immediately, and Xianghua nearly yelled at the piercing pain, throwing her head backwards and her hips ramming against his'. She buried her face against his powerful shoulder and sobbed silently. He said nothing and held her in his arms, cradling her protectively. Moments have passed, and she felt the pain faded away completely. She brought him down to her and held him tight, slightly rubbing her hips against his own. Kilik quickly took the hint and started to thrust in and out of Xianghua in a firm pace. Xianghua's warmth and tightness were sending Kilik very quick to a sort of ecstatic state, and he couldn't help to move quicker. She soon was following his motion, slamming herself against him desperately as he made love to her, pounding a little harder every time. She arched her back and brought his head closer to her chest, his tongue again flicking on her nipples and cleavage, her hands running through his hair, his arms holding her closer to him, their legs and areas entwined in an erotic grip. Suddenly, her muscles clamped on his shaft so tight like a vice. Then he felt her voice calling his name, as she never did before. It was not the small, dazed voice of a girl asking him for a sort of forgiveness, but the ragged, sensual moans of a woman telling him how much she wanted and loved him. All those love words were spoken through Kilik's throat as he fiercely kissed Xianghua. At the same time, Kilik started to come and release himself inside of her, his sex shuddering in her canal, his own fluids filling her as she filled his mouth a while ago... ----- When Kilik found himself capable of conscious thoughts again, he was still inside of Xianghua and atop of her body. She was smiling sweetly, her dark eyes loving and soft. He slowly pulled out of her, without any pressure. Then he plopped down, suddenly feeling very tired. Kilik noticed he couldn't move apart of her, as they still had the Dvapara Yuga as their chain... With a soft smile, Kilik reversed their positions again, and Xianghua moved up to him and lied besides his strong body, her head against his shoulder as he pulled the covers over themselves. Kilik, after more than four years since the dreadful night that changed his life forever, felt like he could close his eyes and sleep peacefully. Not wishing to die, not asking why did he always bring misery and pain to his loved ones. Xianghua, the woman lying next to him, the one now combing his long hair with her ivory fingers, was accepting him without second words or intentions. She knew who he was and what he did, and it didn't matter to her. What brought them together, apart from the past and the fate? Maybe she came into his life to counter all his loneliness, and her own one. Maybe... Kilik never finished this thought, and he fell into a deep, dreamless sleep, the first one since that night. ----- Xianghua, despite her two orgasms and the drowsy feeling, didn't fall asleep so quick. The moonlight gently was illuminating her and the resting man besides her. She recalled a time they were, along with Maxi, sleeping in the ruins of a house. He was resting against a wall, his hands and arms around the Kali Yuga. She tried to cover him with a blanket, but as she neared to him, a small noise woke Kilik up and he tried to attack her. When he noticed it was she, he was dead angry and told Xianghua to go away, that he didn't want to end up as the cause of her death. She knew how hard the life of a warrior was. But now, she wouldn't have to bear it alone. Here she was with this man who gave her the joy of feeling loved, and wordlessly promised to help her to brush that pain away. Before Xianghua fell asleep as well, she thought of Lei and Meimei, and thanked them mentally for this unforgettable moment. The same went for the mysterious man on the port who told her where Kilik was, and for her mother and sister, who were looking over them both... And as she closed her eyes, resting her head upon Kilik's chest, Xianghua could swear she heard Maxi's voice, whispering in her ear... "Our memories... are all...". ------ Swaying room as the music starts Strangers making the most of the dark Two by two their bodies become one I see you through the smokey air Can't you feel the weight of my stare? You're so close but still a world away What I'm dying to say, is that I'm crazy for you... Touch me once and you'll know it's true I never wanted anyone like this It's all brand new You'll feel it in my kiss I'm crazy for you, crazy for you Trying hard to control my heart I walk over to where you are Eye to eye we meet, no word at all Slowly now we begin to move Every breath I'm deeper into you Soon we two are standing still in time If you read my mind, you'll see I'm crazy for you... Touch me once and you'll know it's true I never wanted anyone like this It's all brand new, You'll feel it in my kiss I'm crazy for you, crazy for you It's all brand new, I'm crazy for you And you know it's true I'm crazy, crazy for you Lyrics from "Crazy for You", by Madonna. It fits the fic darn well. ---- Amy's Words of So-called Wisdom: Mushy I am, mushy it had to be. Ta-dah *lol*. If you wanted a sex fest, you should've read another lemon. In the Sakura Lemon Page there are many to choose from. And Soul Calibur just rocks!!! Thanx to my grandma for the quantities of milk and cookies she brought, 'coz it let me resist my hunger while I was typing this crappy thing, w/o having to go so often to the kitchen (eventhough she'd die if she ever knew I was writing a lemon). And TXS again to Minna and Shin'ichi, my partners in crime, for showing me the game and teaching me how to play... P.S.: Shin'ichi, what happened to the record of 39 victories in a row with Siegfried you put? Seems it WAS beaten in the arcade we use to play... BUAYA... T_T T_T T_T T_T T_T ... P.P.S.: And Minna, when will we play the 1-1 with us both using charas we dislike? Wanna see how do you play w/o Mitsurugi...;) Completed at Monday 07 February 2000, 11:48 PM, while listening Two Mix: Best Files. Amy the Lemon-ish Lady, February 2000.
