The ache was consuming.. This body was so weak.. To take on this form for me was draining.. For millions of years I was 3rd in command of Gehenna.. Egyn.. Demon of water..
But that was behind me, I left that power behind to live here in Assiah.. First just to observe its life and beauty that caused my existence to emerge.. But slowly I became obsessed with the light of this world.. The rain, the seas, the clouds..
But more recently, my thoughts and desires had been consumed by the sleeping form on the futon mat at my feet. His legs and arms sprawled out from under the covers, a small bout of drool dripping from his mouth.
The man I'd known for years as Yukio came in behind me, whispering so none of the others in the room would be disturbed in their slumber, laying out his mat. "If you don't want to sleep with that I have an extra mat.. I knew you didn't have one and wasn't sure if you'd want to sleep or not.."
I'd met him years ago.. When he was first brought to true cross to train as an exorcist.. I'd taken on the form of a young girl his age then, and slowly allowed myself to grow with him. I enjoyed the feeling.. Of almost being human.. They were always so interesting..
"No.. I'm alright here.." I said, the corners of my mouth turning up a smile as I looked back down at the goofy, handsome face I was able to call my love..
I lowered myself on to the mat, moving the covers back over the oldest Okumura twin. As I got comfortable I lightly rubbed his chest without thinking about it, putting my head on his shoulder.
This seemed to stir him awake just enough to know who was accompanying him. He hummed as he gave a small smile, pressing his lips into my forehead as he shifted to incapsulate my body with his.
I could hear his shallow breathing and his slow, steady heart beat.. Music to my ears.. I felt his warm breath against the hair on the top of my head and the strong protective hold he had on my small frame. For a while I could feel his thumb brushing soothingly over my lower back until it slowed and he drifted back to sleep again. Though before his dreams consumed him again I felt his long tail search for mine beneath the blankets.
He for some odd reason loved twisting the ends of our tails together.. Some kind of symbol of being proud of who he was and proud of who we were together.. So as I let him find me and the ends of our tails twisted together, jet black mixing with glistening white, two becoming one. Yin along side yang.. I felt at peace.. This was my home, my purpose, my freedom.. All rapped up in one big ball of energy named Rin.
*The next morning*
Third POV
"Come on where is she?! She promised she'd train with me before we got moving on the mission again!" Shima whined, stomping about the multitude of people rolling up their sleeping mats.
"She's right where you'd expect her to be.." Yukio muttered as he gently kicked up the corner of the blanket of what seemed to be Rin's mat that he was still lazily occupying. Revealing the form of the girl in question tangled in the raven haired boys arms.
"Ugh... Now that's just gross.."
