- Earth: Hot Spring Inn - 

3rd pov

The sunlight hit Akira's face, causing her to groan in annoyance as she tried to face the other direction. But she couldn't because of someone's grip around her waist. Forgetting that Kamui was sleeping with her, she tried to shoot the intruder's face, only for her to stop abruptly when she saw Kamui's figure snoring softly in his sleep. 

'I nearly shot him holy crap,' she thought as she gently put her parasol behind her head.

He was usually the first to wake up, but after last night's event, it was not surprising to see him still asleep at this hour. Thinking about it made her face heat up again. She took this rare opportunity to examine his face. Looking at him, she couldn't help but slowly lean towards him, attracted to his soft lips that had touched her body intimately. However, she paused as the unwanted thoughts start to fill her head.

Would Kamui mind? Was last night just a one-time thing? What the hell am I suppose to say to him when he wakes up? What am I feeling towards him, love or lust?

But those thoughts stopped when Kamui's hand laced through her hair, gently pushing her down to his lips. 

"Good morning, princess," his voice was still hoarse. "How are you feeling?"

Her scarlet eyes met his blue ones. "I'm feeling okay," she whispered.

It was silent between them, but it was not awkward. Kamui started to play with her hair while she lays on his chest, still naked from last night.

"Akira, listen to me." with that, he had her attention.

"If you're thinking last night was a one-time thing, you're wrong. I couldn't find a better way to tell you. I like you a lot. It's...a weird feeling, really," Kamui's hand moved to her face, his thumb caressing her cheek.

"I'm a murderer. Sure, I don't kill as much as before, but that doesn't change the fact that I've spilt too much blood on my hands and took countless lives. I took too many and it was more than necessary that I could never change, no matter how hard I tried. I had killed my own self along with my emotions to get stronger, and it made me turn into a battle loving bastard. But..." he put her forehead against hers. "...why am I reminded of these feelings when I'm with you?" he whispered.

Akira had stayed quiet but the entire time he was talking, sorting out her feelings. She had to say it to Kamui. She snuggled closer to Kamui, causing him to wrap his arm around her waist, waiting for her to say something.

"Kamui," her voice was as soft as feathers, "Isn't that love? I'm sure of it because it's the same for me. We both made a lot of mistakes in our lives. Compared to other Yato, the blood on their hands is a joke compared to ours," she chuckled humorlessly. "But, what had happened in the past can't be changed, right? Instead, why don't you start walking forward without any hesitation? Isn't that how the 7th division are?" the grip around her tightened.

"I can't do that when I know you're going to leave once we're done dealing with Kimon."

She giggled, "I don't think I can leave you now, can I?" Kamui felt a tug on his lips, as a small yet genuine smile graced upon his face.

"Then, will you promise to stay by my side, Akira?"

"I will stay by your side, Kamui. Even if I'm on a planet bustling with life, even if I have thousands of people around me, I still feel lonely without you by my side. If you want to go somewhere else, I'll go anywhere with you. I'll follow you even if it means scouring each corner of the universe. And I know you'll do the same. I won't let you die alone. I won't betray you even if it cost my life."
