Rain Dance

 

 

“So what was your favorite part?” Sha said as they walked down the demon city sidewalks in the chilly fall air. She lightly swung their arms between them as they headed back to their apartment.

“Honestly? First off I can’t believe you got me to go see a chick flick.” Hiei rolled his eyes, though grinned at her attempt at a fierce gaze. “The glory hole.”

She laughed. “Penis in the eye? That’s an odd one to like over all the others.”

“I told you, you dragged me to see the thing. What about you?”

“The maggot-infested foil-pack hitting the windshield.”

“Obviously. I’ve never heard you snort while laughing before.”

She flushed a furious crimson, the streetlamps making them seem even redder. “It’s not very often, so don’t expect to hear it again anytime soon.”

Just as he was about to respond, the clouds that had been giving a gloomy overcast most of the night began pouring out rain in buckets. “Ah great.”

“Oh don’t tell me you’ve never been stuck out in the rain before.”

“Babe, a few months ago I’ve never had a girlfriend situation before. There’s some things I’ve missed out on, but being stuck in the rain isn’t one of them.” He pulled his jacket around his body a bit tighter. “Though I’ll admit the company is more pleasurable.”

She smiled. “I bet it is.” Nodding back in the direction of the theater, she said, “So is it a lie?”

“Hm?”

“That men hate oral sex.”

“I don’t know whether to laugh or not to that. Of course men don’t hate it. Otherwise I’d shove you off every time you tried.”

“You also wouldn’t make the noises that you do.” She nudged his wet side with her own.

“Like you’re one to talk. I am nowhere near as noisy as you.”

She stopped dead in her tracks in front of him. “Oh? I’m sure I could name a few times where you’ve been exceptionally loud.”

“Hardly.”

She bared her fangs. “What is it about you that drives me insane?”

“My unique characteristics and charm?” he said, using a similar answer of hers from a few months ago, tweaking it for his use. “Or for the fact I love making you and everyone around me pissed off.”

“As you said, hardly.”

He pinned her against the door to their apartment building, under the iron shelter. “I can make you bothered in more ways than one, you do realize that?”

“Right here in public? I wasn’t aware you were into voyeurism.” She arched a brow.

“Your body is for my eyes only.”

“Good, then we can hold off for a few minutes longer. There’s something I want to do.”

Curiously, he allowed her to drag him back out into the rain. “And what will us getting more soaked to the bone solve?”

She laughed. “Giving us more reason to… warm up later.” She leaned on her tiptoes and kissed him. “If you’ll keep me warm that is.”

“I always will.”

“Ha, then let’s head upstairs and start drying off.”

A ghost of a smile touched his face as they entered the elevator up to their apartment. Who knew this is what Yusuke always fought so hard to protect? Without warning he pushed her against the wall, holding a fistful of her wet hair in his grasp as he kissed her forcefully.

She pulled back a bit. “What’s this about now?”

“Don’t talk,” he whispered, hiking her legs over his hips.

“But there’s a camera—“

“Let them watch,” he growled, tugging her wet jacket open. “They won’t see anything worthy anyway.” He plotted out the rest of the night in his mind as the elevator dinged for their floor. Funny, what a bit of rain and two soaked people in a confined space can create.
