She watched him leave as she went to the next paying customer. "Ah Megumi-San what can I get you?" Tae asked. Megumi looked distracted then said. "Oh I am sorry Tae-San I won't be having anything." She got up and left in a hurry. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Sano continued remembering his past with Yuri as he walked down the street. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Sano was looking forward to seeing Yuri tonight after not getting to see her for long the night before. The words that Meia said still played through the back of his mind. He tried to push them out. As he was heading past his old dice playing haunt a voice from the doorway called. "Sano ready for your fight tonight?" A tall man called. "Fight…Oh damn… Yeah I guess I am." He would have to tell Yuri he couldn't see her tonight because of his job. She would understand. He was proud of his fighting skills and didn't know why he hadn't told Yuri about his 'job'. "Sano, why don't you come in and have some sake?" The man asked. "Sure," Sano said, as he walked inside. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Yuri shivered slightly as she waited for Sano. It was chilly for this time of year. She waited for almost an hour and when he didn't come she was so hurt. She walked dejectedly back to her house. She didn't hear the footsteps behind her till too late. A pair of strong hands grabbed her and pulled her into an alleyway. "Help…" she managed to gasp before one of the hands clamped over her mouth. "You look like my kind of woman…" the man leered as he caressed her cheek with his other hand. Yuri struggled with all her strength to remove his hands. Oh where was Sano? "Will you be good if I remove my hand?" The man asked. Yuri nodded, planning on screaming as loud as she could as soon as he moved his hand. When he did she screamed. He promptly slapped her. Hard. Sano was walking down a street whistling; of course he had won the fight. He jingled the bag of money in his hand. Suddenly he heard a scream coming from an alleyway ahead of him. He hurried up to see what was going on. "Hey!" He called into the alleyway. "Don't worry sir me and my girl here enjoy playing games, isn't that right?" He shook the girl in his hands. "SANO! Help me!!!" Yuri cried, her nose and lip bleeding. "Yuri!" Sano yelled. The man looked at Yuri then Sano and ran to the other end of the alley and disappeared into the night. Sano ran to Yuri. She was sobbing in a heap on the ground. Sano ran quickly to her side picking her up. He cradled her against his chest as he carried her to the room he was staying in. Yuri was now silent against him, her breath warm on his chest. He sat on the ground holding her still in his arms "Yuri are you alright?" he asked touching her hair lightly. "Oh Sano I was so scared." She said burying her head into his chest. "Shhh it's ok no one will hurt you now, I will make sure of that." He said pulling her close. He should have been there this was his fault. "I should have been there.." "No Sano… It happened please don't blame yourself." She said her small voice somehow reassuring him. "Sano… I think I love you." She said her voice even smaller. His body stiffened involuntarily "Oh." Was all he could say. He had been most unprepared for her to utter those three words. Did he love her too? Yes, some where deep down in his heart said he did. Yuri took his pause and prolonged silence as a negative sign. She moved to get out of his embrace. "I am sorry I shouldn't…" She began. Sano placed a hand on her face and turned her face to his. His lips brushed hers lightly, careful not to kiss her swollen lip too much. Much to his delight she kissed him back. Innocently, unsure, Sano smiled knowing this was her first kiss and pulled her close. Yuri despite the fire surging through her body shivered. She was cold and he was so warm… "Oh Yuri I am sorry we should get you home…" Sano began. "No," she whispered her voice hoarse. "Please don't leave me tonight. I need to be in your arms." Sano picked the girl up and pulled her close to his chest and stood up. He walked out of the alley and towards his temporary home. The way her breath felt against his chest was oddly comforting to him, the way her hands clutched at his gi… he couldn't help imagining the way those hands would feel running over his chest, over his back, down his… Sano baka! Stop thinking such things Yuri is a lady and almost could have died and all you can think of is sex! Of course unbeknownst to Sano, Yuri was having similar thoughts only on a slightly more innocent level. She was imagining what it would feel like if he ran his hands through her hair. Kissed her more deeply and in different places… she blushed at the thought of him kissing her THERE. Sano got to his little apartment and managed to open the door with one handed and stepped through. He took her to his sleeping mat and kissed her gingerly as he laid her down. He brushed back a stray piece of hair from her eyes. Her eyes were so beautiful. He would have compared them to emeralds had he at that point in his life known what emeralds looked like. Yuri reached out and brushed his chest lightly with her fingers. Her touch sent electric shocks down his chest. She stroked his chest and her hand began to trail lower down the front of his pants, touching him through the fabric, lightly, innocently. He did something he had never done before. "Stop Yuri please stop," he said through clenched teeth. His breathing had become ragged. "Am I not doing something right?" Yuri asked, her voice hurt as if she was sorry but eager to correct her mistake. "Yuri, there are certain places that are very um… susceptible to suggestion, and they some times get it into their mind that its going to happen and some times that makes it very hard for the other mind to disobey it and…" He struggled with an explanation that would be sufficient with out offending her. Yuri had laughter in her eyes but looking at the serious look of concentration on his face she didn't dare laugh, but she chose that moment to interrupt. "Sano, I know about that, my sister told me. And I would 'suggest' any part of you with out being willing to carry through with those 'suggestions'." She said kissing him lightly. "Yuri, we can't… what about when you get married…" he began but she silenced him with a deeper more probing kiss. That was all Sano needed before giving up any fight. He blew out the lantern and took her in his arms. He was going to make this an evening she never forgot. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Yuri awoke with a start when she felt the arms around her. She settled down after she realized whose arms were around her. Sano… Last night had been the most wonderful she had ever experienced. Her body had felt so many new sensations and her cheeks warmed remembering how she had called his name over and over and the way he looked at her with a tenderness no one had ever looked at her with before. She glanced out the window and saw the sun rising and she let out a gasp. She had to get back to her home. She slipped out of Sano's arms and looked for something to leave him note on, but found no paper. She pulled her kimono hastily back on and blew him a kiss and hurried out the door. She surveyed the street not seeing anyone she hurried to her house. Just because you don't see someone doesn't mean they aren't there. I was a long time coming I'll be a long time gone You've got your whole life to do something And that's not very long So why don't you give me a call?
