Bound Minds

Chapter 3

Before I knew it we were in a beautiful meadow with a river stream going through. I looked around to find Kana but she was no where in sight. Ryou continued on taking me straight to the stream as if he had read my mind on how thirsty I was. He knelt down so I could get off, then he turned and walked behind the trees as I knelt down, cupping my hands to drink the water. It was only a short while before here-emerged as a human, fully dressed.

"The water is perfect, you going to drink some? You must be thirsty after the fight and carrying me on your back...." I said.

"Carrying you was nothing." he said chuckling.

Though he chuckled at the idea he knelt down beside me also cupping his hands to drink the water. I couldn't help but watch his every move.

"I sent a message to Kana telling her that we were taking a detour,shockingly she agreed that it would be good to take you to a place where you could relax and process everything." He said.

"Thanks...it's beautiful here." I said, still staring at him.

All kinds of emotions started welling up, overwhelming me. All I wanted was to make the unpleasant feelings go away, so I stuck one old one. My staring must of made him uncomfortable because he stood up to walkaway but I didn't let him. I got up, grabbed his arm forcing him to face me, and I planted my lips on his. I could feel the look of surprise on his face but I persisted and he eventually embraced me.All the unpleasant feelings were replaced with all my old feelings of love for him rushing back. I had loved him and wanted to be with him since the day one. It never felt right, but now it did. Nothing ever felt better. All I could think of was him as he gently and slowly pushed me toward the trees, placing me against one without breaking the kiss. I moved to unbutton his shirt but it was then that he broke the kiss.

"We shouldn't." He said.

 I nodded, but he leaned over, kissing his way up my neck.

"You're not making it easy to not." I whispered.

 "We shouldn't, but I love you." He said.
