Even after she had been laying on the cold, hard ground for about twenty minutes, she still didn't feel that she could walk anywhere without falling and killing herself on something. Eyes unfocused, she stared up at the sky and tried to keep back the flow of tears that was threatening to spill over. Mei had stopped crying once already; she didn't have give in, didn't have to be weak anymore.
A sharp intake of breath caused a pain in her chest, and she bit down on her lip until it bled. But no, she refused to cry. So, rearranging the tattered remains of her shirt again, she pulled her bag closer and removed the good kiwi, biting down into it. That would distract her at least somewhat... now she just had to figure out how she was going to get out of this goddamn place.

Loud footsteps echoed on the pavement. Music could be heard blaring through some kind of speakers. and a waft of curiously smelling smoke trailed behind Kaeru Ankoku as he made his way to Konoha's largest park. He just finished a sale, 15g of his best ganga. Lucrative but. . . unsatisfying. As he mulled the events of the last couple of hours around in his head and entered the park, he was interrupted by the sight of a crumpled form off to his right near the treeline. His intrest piqued Kaeru made his way over to the mystery, the darkness not allowing for great visibility it took him some time before he realized what the form was.
Eyes widened he swallowed the last bit or "roach" and ran over to the girl. He knelt down a couple of feet away from her and spoke in a very quiet tone, "You ok?" As soon as the words came out of his mouth he knew they were dumb. All he needed to do was take a good elook at her to see if she was ok. and she wasn't. Bruises around her neck, wrists, and inner thighs, the torn clothes, the shiner on her face. . . signs of rape. Inwardly he cursed, he had hoped to avoid fucked up situations during his time in Konoha, but that was obviously not the case.

Oh joy, it was another person, probably one of that guy's sick friends or something along those lines. Mei wished at that moment that she could curl up and die, clutching at her kiwi, ready to attempt to chuck it at his face. Anything to protect herself from him.
Blank eyes stared at Kaeru when he asked the question with an obvious answer; she wanted to say that she would never feel okay again, that she would never heal, that he should just leave her alone, but she didn't. All she could do without bursting into tears was shake her head.

His mouth suddenly he dry, he thought about who would do it. His time in the Kiri no Shinobigatana Shichinin Shû taught him that it could be anyone, that all sorts were capable of rape. There were somethings no one should have to deal with, to suffer through. He looked her over, she looked to be at least fourteen or fifteen. Sixteen max, but regardless far to young to be where she lay.
Shaking his head clear of thoughts he concentrated on the matter at hand. What to do? What could he do? What could possibly make it better? First things First though. "Will you let me help you?" He wouldnt be able to do much if she wasn't willing. You can only lead the horse to water after all.

"I need help... so I guess so." Her voice, though it cracked and broke through the short sentence, sounded surprisingly nonchalant; and though her jaw hurt like a bitch, at least she could kind of talk. As long as he didn't look in her bag, see the money that the bastard had given her, and get any ideas, this would probably go better than her last encounter. Mei dropped the half-eaten piece of fruit she held, still not sure whether or not trying to sit up was a good idea; it probably wasn't, at least not without help.
And speaking of help... while she was grateful, did it really have to be another guy? She was now acutely aware of just how little her ruined shirt and pants covered. "Fuck, man. Never going to the park with only fruit again. I'mma get a taser or some shit like that."

"I need help... so I guess so."
Her voice reminded him of a person not used to speaking. Or his morbid mind suggested, someone who spent a chunk of time screaming in pain and sorrow. Internally he winced, but on the outside he was cool and collected. It would be a grave disservice to her, for him to show any pity. He knew that much at least. His blue eyes searched over her belongings, she still had her bag, so it wasn't at all related to a mugging. But even as he thought of reasons why he knew that for some, the power high is enough of a reason. Happened in Kiri often enough. Her tone though struck him as odd though. It was very matter of fact and toneless, almost flippant. He could clearly see the tear tracks down her face, why the - seemingly - inappropriate tone? Perhaps that's her way of coping, his mind supplied for him.
Without a word he shrugged off his jacket and then his shirt and offered them to the next-to-naked girl. She shouldn't have to be in torn and stained clothes. "You can tie the jacket by it's sleeves around ur waist as a makeshift skirt, and u can cover the rest of yourself with my shirt."
"Fuck, man. Never going to the park with only fruit again. I'mma get a taser or some shit like that."
With a grim expression on his face he reached into his pocket and from it pulled out a long foldable knife, anyone who looked at it would recognize it. it was a stilletto knife and a viscious kind of switchblade. He handed her the knife with a nod and then turned away. "Nudge me when you're done getting a little more decent, then I'll turn around," She'd already been violated, no reason to make her feel any more uncomfortable than she undoubtably already was.

Mei bit her lip again, struggling up into a sitting position, with a good bit of difficulty; at least she had a tree to lean on. "Uh, thanks." She took the clothes from him; fresh off his body, they were a lot warmer than she was, and though she wanted to show more gratitude, emotions hurt like fuck at the moment. The clothes looked like they were going to be way too big for her; a disadvantage of being short and really skinny, she supposed. Oh well, big clothes were still warm, and she slipped the shirt over her head without another word, even though that too hurt quite badly.
Whoa. Knife. A random stranger was handing her a knife... that was quite odd. But besides the knife, Mei couldn't help but notice that this guy was mighty fine, even in the condition she was in. As he turned away, her attention turned to the knife, inspecting it; it was nicely made and quite pointy. She put it on top of her bag, scrabbling at the trunk and branches of the tree to aid her in standing up.
Once up, she smoothed out the shirt; it wasn't quite as long as she had expected, but it was still really big; then she tied the jacket around her waist like he had suggested. Overall, she was now covered a lot more than she had been before the manbitch tore up her only good clothes. Kneeling down to retrieve the knife and her bag sent another one of those sharp pains through her chest, and she stumbled after straightening back up... and almost fell on him. That was wonderful, completely wonderful.
"Uh, I'm decent now." she informed him, wavering on her eet before leaning against the tree trunk again.

"Uh, thanks."
At her words he shrugged absently. "It's the least I can do," he murmured softly, as if to himself. As she dressed he stared blankly into space, Letting his mind drift and wander aimlessly. His thoughts inevitably drifted back to the girl getting dressed. With a start he realized that he'd seen her before. She went to Konoha High, like him. He had no previous interaction with her, seeing as she was a sophmore, while he a Senior, but nonetheless he knew her face. Which for some reason made the entire situation even more screwed up. He couldn't place the exact reason, but thats how he felt.
Staring up at the night sky slowed his racing thoughts, and he felt as if his jumble of thoughts might begin to make more sense when out of the corner of his eye he saw her stumble and nearly fall. A hand shot out and gripped her elbow in a firm but gentle hold and he helped her lean against the nearest tree.
"Uh, I'm decent now."
With a riased eyebrow he looked over her form. Much more was covered, his shirt was much to big for her, and the jacket 's tail nearly hit the ground it was so long and she short, but yes, she was decent. "I can see that." he said dryly. "You have a name?" he then inquired. until that time he'd been rwefering to her as the girl or that chick in his head and he couldnt really continue doing that could he?

[ i'm sorry this fails, my muse just completely died. D: ]
"My name is Mei. Mei Hitoshi." she told him immediately, attempting and failing at smiling at him. "What about you? What's your name?" Now that she wasn't exposed anymore, she could take advantage of it and ogle him... because he wasn't just nice, he was hot. And hot in this situation meant something more along the lines of a flaming supernova. "Thanks a lot for the help... fucking dirty bastard, got nothing to do except be fucking rapist. Fucker wanted to pay me off too." Not that she hadn't taken the money.. but that didn't mean she'd been okay with it. "Bruised me up pretty bad, too." By that time she was more muttering to herself than anything else, not caring whether or not Kaeru could hear her, and her eyes had that blank look to them again. God, that smirk on the blond rapist's face would be burned into her retinas forever; that face that had seemed so gorgeous forever marred.

[dont worry, mines pretty fail too]
"My name is Mei. Mei Hitoshi, What about you? What's your name?"
"Kaeru Ankoku," he replied to her, and at her failed smile he nearly shot her one back, but he remembered the fact that his teeth were filed to sharklike points. He tried not to smile much, if only because his grin gave him away as one of the Kiri no Shinobigatana Shichinin Shû, which could be problematic if speaking to cops, teachers, or hostile gangers. Once it was a thing he took pride in, but admist the leaves, he found it harder and harder to take pride in his former affiliations with his old gang. He missed her roaming eyes, caught up once again inside of his own head, and so further provoked her by stretching a long languid stretch, his form lithe and powerful, like a bigcat
"Thanks a lot for the help... fucking dirty bastard, got nothing to do except be fucking rapist. Fucker wanted to pay me off too."
A silver eyebrow rose, he tried to pay her? Without meaning to he scoffed at her words, "Tried to turn you into a whore did he? still doesn't change the fact that rape is rape." He didnt have any true connection to Mei but he'd kill the man who raped her, if only on general principle. Some shit you don't put up with.

[ is notttttt. ]
Kaeru Ankoku... I'll have to remember that name. For stalking purposes. Mei thought, then got distracted from her thoughts as he stretched. Damn. Was he doing that on purpose? He had to be doing it on purpose, he totally had to. Not that she really minded all that much. Ah, but if only it could be that simple, and she could just ogle him and forget about... She didn't even know the other guy's name, and she didn't care, but referring to him as 'the rapist' was getting old.
Then she did break into a grin. "Pays well though, apparently. That was a bigass wad of money. Guess he's so generally repulsive that only cash can get him satisfied." Wasn't the best insult ever, but she didn't really care. "So, Kaeru... got any idea how to make my jaw not swell to three times its size?"

[Is too]
"Pays well though, apparently. That was a bigass wad of money. Guess he's so generally repulsive that only cash can get him satisfied."
At her words his eyes darkened a small amount, and the corners of his eyes pinched a little in the only sign of displeasure he allowed to show on his face. "You accepted his money? Why? And who is 'he' anyway? Do you know the schmuck's name?" If she knew his name, he could find out who he was, and then he'd give his name to some of his old associates in Mist. They'd help him take care of the son of a bitch, and dispose of his body.
"So, Kaeru... got any idea how to make my jaw not swell to three times its size?"
At her question his eyes flitted to her jaw where he could clearly see the beginings of a purple and green bruise. He reached out and very carefully traced his fingers over the edges of the bruise. "Yeah, Ice and heat. and then try and get some circulation back into the area. should help, but without a shadow of a doubt your gonna have a nasty bruise."

Mei shrugged slightly. "Gotta pay the rent somehow. besides, once I figured out that he was going to rape me whether I approved or not, I decided that I might as well get something out of it. A family can't live on the wages of a part-time cashier, you know." she told him. "Believe me, that's the only reason I took it. And no, I don't know his name; didn't ask, he didn't tell." It was quite embarrassing to admit that she had taken the cash, but at least it wasn't because she liked getting raped or anything.
Oh God. He's touching me. Mei could've died right there, out of sheer shock. Even if he was just touching the bruise that was beginning to form, still, it was physical conduct of a rather pleasant manner. "I can remember that. Thanks again."

"Gotta pay the rent somehow. besides, once I figured out that he was going to rape me whether I approved or not, I decided that I might as well get something out of it. A family can't live on the wages of a part-time cashier, you know."
He conceded her point, if something was going to happen one way or another, why not get something out of it. While he agreed, he still thought it was rather. . . defeatist in nature. To each their own. It was a shame she didnt get his name, he needed to be hunted down and brought to justice, by blade or in handcuffs, either one he was fine with. He removed his hand from her cheek and went into a pocket and pulled out a cigar case, opened it and pulled out a joint. He lit up and took a drag, feeling it calm him. "Any DNA. . . or fluids so that you can identify him somehow?" he was very reluctant in asking, although he knew it was something that needed to be asked.
"I can remember that. Thanks again."
"No problem Mei-san. Doing my civic duty is all" his words deliberatly light as he flashed a quick shark toothed grin.

Mei turned several shades of red at Kaeru's next question. "Not that I know of. But I'd know him if I saw him. I know that doesn't help much... but how many blond teenage rapists are that loaded with cash? Not very many, I'm guessing." she replied. It was strange how calmly she could talk about something that had seemed quite traumatizing just a little while ago.
Then she felt the overwhelming desire just to... hug him. But that probably wouldn't go over too well with him, considering what had happened. But god, she wanted to hug him. And then he grinned at her, and she saw his pointy teeth- intriguing but rather creepy.

"Not that I know of. But I'd know him if I saw him. I know that doesn't help much... but how many blond teenage rapists are that loaded with cash? Not very many, I'm guessing."
He saw the red on her face, and for a moment he thought he'd seriously upset her and nearly began to frantically backpedal until his greater thinking processes labeled it as embarrasment. Even still, the topic of discussion couldn't be pleasent, for obvious reasons. Taking another toke he felt some of his tension slip away and his body relax a little bit more, he turned to her and made a split decision. "Do you want my number so that you can contact me should you see him again?" a legitimate question in his mind, but just in case he would clarify, "Not trying to perv or anything, just so we're clear"
Speaking of perving, the shirt being so loose around her shoulders kept trying to slide down her shoulder, allowing a subtle and enticing view of her slender frame and the smooth skin of her upper chest and shoulder. upon seeing the rise of a breast; Kaeru turned away from the appealing sight and stared at the moon, all the while taking another toke, It's easier on my mental health, he decided.

"That's a good idea, actually. I don't have any paper or anything right now, though." Mei replied, trying quite hard to keep the grin off her face. Hot guy offering his number. It wasn't exactly the ideal situation, or reason, but hey- it beat laying on the ground and bawling by quite a lot. "Oh, I know you aren't being a perv. Because that would be pretty sickening." And then he turned away again, which wasn't very helpful in the slightest.
Glaring slightly, Mei then decided that hugging him was, in fact, a good idea. Hell, he couldn't do much of anything to her that hadn't been done already, really. And he was only a few steps away, it would be easy.
So she took those few steps, and tried to wrap her arms around him from behind. It probably wasn't going to work, but hey. It never hurt to try.

"That's a good idea, actually. I don't have any paper or anything right now, though."
Nodding to her once again he replied, "I'll take you back to my car, I have a notebook and a pen somewhere in that hunk of junk." While it was true that he didn't want her rapist to get away with it, Kaeru also wanted to keep an eye on her, to make sure she was ok. It was funny how a small sense of personal responsibility for Mei begin to creep into the edges of his emotions, he found as he kept puffing on his joint.
"Oh, I know you aren't being a perv. Because that would be pretty sickening."
At that he half near blushed again, feeling a little ashamed that he had been perving, but only technically, he reasoned to himself. He couldn't help it! He was a red blooded male afterall, who wouldn't have stared?
Then his inner debate was cut off at the feeling of a small collision with his back and two arms circling his torse. Is she, hugging me? Kaeru asked himself, confused for a moment. He was to surprised to truly enjoy the hug, despite how attractive her body was. So instead he bent at the knees and slid his hands underneathe her thighs and gently, gingerly even lifted her onto his back, piggy back styled. "Come on, we can head towards my car. Get you out of here," and with that he headed up the way towards where his car was parked. On the side of a winding road, cutting right through the center of the park.

"Sounds like a plan to me." she replied, grinning. She could definitely see getting along with Kaeru in a normal situation that didn't involve.. well, highly traumatizing incidents. It actually almost felt like the anger, the sadness, the tears, had all gone away, at least while she didn't have to think about it. Or maybe because Kaeru was just that distracting... Probably the latter.
It was quite surprising that he actually let her hug him; it was most likely from the sheer surprise. People who had just gotten violently raped didn't usually initiate physical contact with almost-strangers. Mei had never been normal, though.
His shirt smelled rather nice, and she couldn't help but take note of that. Staying that way for a little while wouldn't have been a bad idea, but of course that didn't happen. Eyes wide, she found herself hoisted onto his back... even better, though it was unexpected. It wasn't like she could do anything but take advantage of that, hooking her arms around his neck and burying her face in the crook of his neck, and found out that it wasn't just his shirt that smelled nice.

"Sounds like a plan to me."
Once again, her tone of voice surprised him. How resiliant must this girl be, Kaeru wondered to himself absently, to be able to still speak so coherently and handle me touching her? He was glad she was so resiliant, for if she weren't he probably wouldnt be in the situation he was in, with her on his back. He could feel every curve she had pressed against his bare back and his hips. Based on what he could feel. . . He shook his head, feeling like a creeper and slightly ashamed. He felt as if by thinking lewdly about her, he was taking advantage of her.
"Do you want to go to the police?" He asked, partly because it was a legitamate question, partly to get his mind back from out of a gutter. While he didnt care to much for the Police, he did however feel as if finding he rapist was important enought to warrant police involvement. Even if it did mean that he probably wouldnt be able to slash the slimeball's throat.
His train of thought was violently derailed however when Mei snuggled herself into him even further. What the hell? he questioned internally as he felt her against him even better than before. She was awefully distracting, and if the circumstances of their meeting wasn't so fucked up, and it weren't statutory rape in and of itself, he'd perchance try himself.

"No. From the impression I got, it wouldn't hurt him at all. Rich guy, rich parents, they can cover it up. He's done it before. 'I don't want my parents to have to cover anything up again.' He said that... or, well, something like that. I was too busy planning how I was going to stab him in the balls to pay too much attention." Mei chattered thoughtfully. "If I ever see him again, though, that bitch is getting shanked."
She thought she could easily get used to this; Kaeru's back was comfortable, in a sense- especially after cold, solid, grass-covered, itchy ground- but then, anything is more comfortable than that, except for hot asphalt. This is freaking weird. This is really freaking weird. I feel like I'm creeping on him or something... But I don't give a damn.
"I hope I'm not bothering you." she muttered, figuring that a little courtesy might make it less creeper-esque.

He said that... or, well, something like that. I was too busy planning how I was going to stab him in the balls to pay too much attention. If I ever see him again, though, that bitch is getting shanked."
That was a very proactive and practical solution to the problem and Kaeru found he liked it. His companion definately had some fire to her. Maybe he'd keep in contact with her outside of school and walking her home. She seemed like in a normal situation she'd be very companiable. "I approve. of this. And now with my Stilletto, you'll be able to!" he said this with a serrated smile on his face.
"I hope I'm not bothering you."
Was she really bothering him? He'd sort of enjoyed the attention truth be told. Previously he was to busy breaking the law to really pay much attention to the opposite sex vey much behind the occasional romp in the sack. This was far different then that. "No-not really, it's fine" he stammered out

"Indeed. Maybe I'll save some of this money and buy a taser one of these days so I can shove it up his goddamn ass and shock him till the batteries go dead." Mei muttered. Finally, someone who had a penchant for violence the same way she did. "Or maybe I'll shove a pineapple up there. It can't be impossible." Ah, fruit violence; violence of the best kind.
"It doesn't sound fine." she insisted. "If it was fine then you wouldn't stammer like that. What's the matter?"

"Indeed. Maybe I'll save some of this money and buy a taser one of these days so I can shove it up his goddamn ass and shock him till the batteries go dead. Or maybe I'll shove a pineapple up there. It can't be impossible."
For a moment, Kaeru was stunned. And then the full realization of what she'd said, coupled with the mental imagery produced, made him shake with laughter. The idea that she could do that humored him like nothing else. "Where did the pineapple come into play?" She was so very strange. Everything about her it seemed. She was very intriguing, and she definitely had caught his attention. Which if was the plan, it succeeded.
"It doesn't sound fine. If it was fine then you wouldn't stammer like that. What's the matter?"
That brought a very low chuckle. How would he go about telling her that he felt like a serious pedobear and like a creeper whenever he felt himself noticing her body? He gave her thighs a reassuring squeeze,"It's nothing Mei-chan, it's nothing."

"Think about it! Pineapples are all spiky. Think of what that could do to a person, if misused correctly!" Mei replied, snickering. "And I kind of like fruit violence; most people don't expect rotten fruit to fly out of nowhere and hit them in the face." And it usually didn't end as badly as it had on this particular night.
Nothing... yeah right. she thought, but didn't ask again, grinning. She didn't want to harass him too much and end up... well, not where she wanted to be. "Suuure." It was, however, impossible to not add a bit of playful sarcasm.

If it weren't for the fact that he was carrying Mei's beaten and bruised body, he would've face-palmed. She was nuts. While he could see where she was coming from, which wasn't something he really wanted to do at the moment, and he thought her idea definitely had a certain amount of creative flair, Kaeru thought it was ridiculous. Painful for sure, humiliating definitely, but still ridiculous. "Is this a thing for you? This fruit violence?"
"Suuure."
Well damn, sounds like she doesn't buy it Kaeru, aforementioned man thought to himself.They were entering treacherous water and Kaeru was truth be told a little nervous. Kaeru continued to walk forwards until stopping before a great big hill. And then his nervousness at the sudden heady tension between himself and Mei evaporated into fear. That was a damn big freakin Hill. He could see a road off to the left, which would be easier on his legs than trying to scale the monster of a hill. But, it wouldn't be faster, and his car was at the top of the hill. His baby, a '77 Pontiac Firebird. with warmed leather seats. . .
And so Kaeru began his trek up the hill, his large hands slid over Mei's thighs in an attempt to better secure her place on his back. "Hold on tight." he said before starting up the mountain. Things were going fine, up until Kaeru's booted foot slipped on a stray patch of ice and he slipped.
"Shitfuck!" he blurted as his balance shifted and he began to fall. He turned so that he wouldn't land on Mei, but at the steep angle of the side of the hill, coupled with his falling momentum, made it inevitable that she would be taken along for the ride. With the new information accounted for Kaeru pulled her into his arms as they both fell and cradled the rest of her fall as they went tumbling down the bluff. With a thud they stopped at the bottom, tall grass rising about to cover them. Kaeru groaned in discomfort, his arms still encircling his once-passenger, with one errant hand on her wonderfully curved butt. That was fail, a bewildered Kaeru said to himself.

"Yeah. More of my thing than stabbing or something like that. I'm a lot more accurate when throwing things than a normal person- paintball training helps, a lot." Mei replied. Most people thought that the fruit thing was weird, and she couldn't blame them- it was really weird. But hey, it was fun! And that was enough for her.
Whoa. That was, like, the Godzilla of park hills. Mei peered at it over Kaeru's shoulder. Is he really going to walk up this hill? That is not smart. That is not smart at all. Ooh, I have a bad feeling about hills. She had never really liked hills, not in the slightest; they were an obstacle and a hindrance in paintball, it's way too freaking easy to fall down them, and they were just a general pain in the ass. "Believe me, I will." she muttered in response, clinging tightly to him. Hills: they sucked.
And then he slipped. Mei could've sworn that her heart stopped in that first moment of falling; and then she just screeched... Until they stopped at the bottom of the hill, in a very awkward but appreciated position. Kaeru's face was just a couple inches away from hers, and she couldn't help but stare directly at him. "No more hills." she scolded lightly, though she didn't really mind how falling down this one had ended.

"No more hills."
No more hills was right. the entire 'ride' back down the hill was painful and more than a little embarrassing, truth be told. He really had thought that he could make it up the thrice-damned hill. Guess he was wrong. His head was in a pained fog and he was disoriented as hell, he barely knew where the heck he was now. Blearily he opened his eyes and was shocked to see brilliant green eyes staring back at him. Now more awake than before, He could feel her body laying against his, her curves pressed against the more rigid lines of his frame. So it really wasn't much of a surprise when color started to slowly rise up his neck and paint his cheeks a light flush of red.
"No more hills," he agreed in a very low tone. And as his awareness grew he realized where his hand was, against her butt, in a very passable imitation of a passive grope. While in a normal situation he probably would've kissed her, then he felt as if he were taking advantage of her. He was rather oblivious at the moment, Mei's own thoughts as they were in her head and not his, and he also missed her own lack of bother."S-sorry?" he asked as opposed to said, his lips a hair's breadth away from hers, their breathing intermingling.

After she was momentarily done staring at him, she noticed where his hand had landed and turned bright red, almost like a tomato, even. It wasn't like she really minded... it was just that that, coupled with their, ah, position, looked quite inappropriate, and it would be really awkward if someone she knew happened to come along.
For a moment, though, she just didn't care, and seriously considered just kissing him, because hell, what did she have to lose? Her virginity? Pfff. By this point, that was long gone. Her dignity? Dignity... Hmm. What did that word mean again? Oh, that's right, she didn't have anything to lose
"I like it much better on flat ground." she snickered. Would it really hurt anything to kiss him? ... With her luck, and the way her say seemed to be going, definitely. "Don't be."

For a moment he merely continued to look back at her until something soft, white, and wet landed on his forehead. Startled out of his 'trance' Kaeru looked up from Mei's distractingly green gaze and instead stared up at the big fat flakes of snow falling from the sky. Damn, it was snowing. They really needed to get up off of the ground, but when he looked back to Mei, he found that for somereason he couldn't place, he really didn't want to. As red slowly began to fill his companion's face his mind filed the reason as to why into his short term memory. His hand. With that he slowly moved his hand off of her butt and instead on her back as subtly as possible.
"I like it much better on flat ground."
That brought another amused and shark-toothed grin to the former gangster. He agreed with her quite fervently, that roll down the hill certainly had cemented his opinion. His head was in fact, still ringing from their sudden and violent stop. "I would have to agree, Mei-chan. That fall isn't one I'd like to re-live," that being said Kaeru moved his hands to her hips and gently moved her off of him before rising to his feet.
"Don't be."
His amused grin turned into a smile when he heard her words. Bending a little at the waist he took her hand and pulled her up to her feet. His face was still a touch flushed, but the cold snow was working in his favor. More snow began to fall, and suddenly Kaeru shivered, his body reminding him that it was cold, and he was shirtless. More than ever he wanted the warmth of his car. "Then I won't be," Kaeru replied, his smile warm and relaxed.
