Groove Adventure Rave: Tease Me

Haru lay
on his bed, staring out the window at the darkening sky. A cold breeze blew at
the beach�s palm trees. The beach itself was empty, the weather still cold
after the storm from yesterday.

�Most
romantic place in the south.. my
ass.� He mumbled, sipping from a small glass he was holding. He glanced over at
the other side of the bed. Elie wasn�t there,
unfortunately. After that incident in the storm, she had immediately hidden in Iulius and Belnika�s room, and
had avoided him ever since.

He sighed
in sadness. How could he have let this happen? Only four days into his
marriage, and he�d gotten Elie upset with him, maybe
forever. And all because of his lack of libido.

�Face it Haru, a romantic, you are not.� He spoke aloud.

Just then,
the door opened, and Iulius stepped in. Haru blinked in surprise, realizing he hadn�t locked the
door.

�Haru, we need to talk�� Iulius
stopped when he noticed the glass of dark liquid. �For God�s sake, don�t do
it!� He grabbed the glass from Haru�s hand. �I know
things are tough, but you won�t find the answer at the bottom of a whisky
glass!�

�Dude, it�s
just cola.�

Iulius
smelt the drink, realizing his mistake. �Well� the answer�s not here either.�
He slammed it down on the table. �Now look here Haru,
you have to talk to Elie and sort this out.�

�I know I
should. I just think we need a bit of time apart. You know, until we�re ready
to talk again.�
```
�You�re not ready to talk now?!� Iulius sounded frustrated. �Please! I do like Elie, but ever since she hid out in our room, she�s been driving me mad! This morning, not only did she catch me and Nika-chan while we were in flagrante delicto, ruining the whole mood, she ate my 70 Edel apricot skin polish.�
```
```
�She ate face cream?�
```
```
�She thought it was jam! She spread it on her muffins!�
```
```
He sniggered. �Sounds like her alright. She�s always hungry at breakfast. She�ll eat anything she can find.� He sighed. �I miss her.�
```
```
�Well, go and talk to her then.�
```
```
�I don�t know if I should. If I see her, I�ll succumb to temptation and try to make love again. And I just know I�ll mess it up.�
```
```
He looked out the window again. �Man, what kind of husband am I if I can�t even pleasure my wife. I mean, Elie deserves that much.� His voice turned low. �Maybe I rushed into this marriage. Maybe we should have waited��
```
```
�Oh shut up man! It was bad enough back in the day when you kept whining about how unworthy you were of her.� He stared the Rave Master in the eye. �I know you�ve upset her, but that�s life. We couples can�t be happy all the time. God knows how many times Belnika has annoyed me because she claims she deserves more clothes space in my closet than me.� He grumbled. �Just because she kept all those fancy frocks the Blue Guardians bought her..�
```
```
�Er.. carry on?�
```
```
�Yes, the point is, when you love someone, you don�t let something like this keep her away from you.� 
```
```
Haru looked at him, a glimmer of hope in his eyes. �Yeah� I went to hell and back to save her. No way I�m losing her over something like this�
```
```
�That�s the spirit! You don�t just have to help her, you have to want her.� 
```
```
�Oh I want her alright. I want her to be happy. But unless I figure this sex thing out, I don�t think she�ll be willing to talk to me.�
```
```
�Well, get cracking! There must be some reason why you can�t get your end away. If you truly love her, you�ll get to the bottom of this.�
```
```
Haru stood up, his confidence returned. �Yeah, then I�ll get to her bottom!� He blinked when he realized what he�d just said. �I�ve been around Musica too long..�
```
```
Iulius patted his shoulder. �Oh, and I should tell you, the hotel is holding some formal dance party downstairs. I imagine Elie might like that a lot.� He made his exit. �Good luck old boy.�
```
```
Haru nodded goodbye, then stared at a nearby mirror. His reflection was of a race normally reserved for battles against evil. This time, the enemy was whatever was going on in his head to stop him having sex. And he was going to crush it like he crushed Demon Card.
```
```
But first, he needed to know just what it was. And he�d need advice from an expert.
```
```
He grabbed his mobile phone from the table.
```
```
 
```
```
--------------------
```
```
 
```
```
Belnika entered her room, hoping to have some peace and quiet before she and Iulius went to the party. Inside though, she was dismayed to find Elie was still hanging around. Close friend she may be, but her scrounging all their stuff was getting on their nerves.
```
```
Elie was wearing her silk robe, and her face was covered with a thick green paste. 
```
�Hi!�

�Elie, why are you wearing that on your face?�

�This? Oh,
I just saw it, and felt I could use some exfoliating. I�m sorry,
I really shouldn�t be using your stuff. I�ll pay you back.�

�It�s okay�
it�s not my stuff.� She smiled a little. Iulius could
stand to get rid of a few products..

�Listen Elie, we do love having you here, but you really need to
talk to Haru. You can�t just avoid him
on your honeymoon.�

Behind the
green cream, Elie looked forlorn. �I know� I�m just
not sure if he wants to talk to me. I said some pretty nasty things to him in
that storm..�

�Oh you�re
not the first couple to call each other names. I actually called Iulius a big wet softy once when I accidentally got his
clothes wet.� She thought for a second. �Yeah, that�s as bad as it got..�

�He
probably thinks I hate him.� Elie sighed. �Oh he used
to annoy me sometimes back in the day. He�d walk in on me while I was getting
changed from the shower, and make some lame excuse, and even though I knew he
was telling the truth, I�d still whack him over the head� and then he�d say I
looked really cute in a towel, and I�d blush, cause he
meant it�� She sobbed. �I miss him.�

�Well, go
and talk to him.�

�I can�t!
If I see him again, I�ll have to drag him somewhere private and have my way
with him! Between his sexiness and my horniness, I can�t resist him! But he
won�t do it for some stupid reason!�

�There must
be some reason. I�ve never known Haru to do something
without something motivating him. Or scaring him.�

�Like
what?�

Belnika
racked her brains for an excuse. �Umm� maybe he�s scared you won�t enjoy it.�

Elie
gaped at that. �Won�t enjoy it? What kind of crappy excuse is that?! Everyone
enjoys sex!! You reminded me yesterday when I heard you wailing down the hall!�

A blush
crossed Belnika�s face. �Well yes� but sex isn�t pleasurable
all the time. At least, not that pleasurable.
Sometimes it�s a bit rough and painful, sometimes it�s too fast, too slow,
sometimes you get in an awkward position..�

�Are you
trying to make me jealous?!� Elie yelled. �I can�t
take any more of this. I need Haru, in bed, NOW!�

�Calm down Elie-chan! You know, hounding Haru
isn�t going to make him do it any easier. Can�t you just enjoy the rest of the
honeymoon?�

�No! I want
this now!�

Just why are you so eager anyway?�

She stared
at her friend, her eyes blazing. �Because everyone keeps telling how amazing it
is, and I�m scared to death that I might not like it, so I just want to get it
over with!�

She blinked
when she realized what she said. She was.. scared? Was that why she was so desperate to get Haru in the sack, at the cost of spending proper time
together?

She ran to
her handbag and pulled out her mobile.

�Who are
you calling?� Belnika asked.

�I�ve
already talked to one expert, now I want a second opinion.�

--------------------

Many miles
away, on Garage Island�

�You hear
that?� Shuda spoke.

�I can�t
hear anything.� Cattleya replied, shifting her weight
on his lap.

�Exactly!�
Shuda sighed and leaned back in his deckchair. �No Haru and Elie running about
yelling like lunatics, no Musica to annoy me��

�You have a
heart of stone, you know that?� Cattleya chuckled.
�You miss them really. I know I do.�

�Well, a
little� but we�ll have to get used to it, once they move into their new place.�

She sighed.
�Seems like only yesterday he was back here, showing Elie off to everyone like he never had a girlfriend before.
Now they�re married. I just wonder if they�ll be alright.�

He kissed
her forehead. �They�ll be fine. Just trust them.�

�I
suppose.� She leaned back on his chest. �Mmm.. this day feels so perfect..�

�It would
be perfect, if I had a tall gin and tonic.�

�Lazy�� As
she got up, she spotted Let and Julia approaching.

�Hi you two!�

Shuda
sighed as he got up.. �Good things never last�� He
looked at the two Dragonrace, noting Let was dressed in his karate gi,
opposed to his wife�s casual clothes.

�What�s
with the get-up Let? Something wrong?�

�We were
hoping you could tell us.� He replied. �We got a call from Musica
a short while ago, asking us to meet him here.�

�And since
he thinks no one calls him unless it�s an emergency, he got all dressed up.�
Julia rolled her eyes. �Honestly Let. Just because it�s Musica
doesn�t mean its trouble.�

�It�s Musica. Trouble is precisely what it means.�

Shuda
groaned. �Silver Rhythm� why can�t he give me a few minutes
peace?�

�Hey, you
made it!� They looked to see Musica and Melodia walk up hand in hand. �Thanks for coming guys.�

�No
problem. So, what�s up?� Julia asked.

�Yes, why
are we all here?� Melodia spoke up. �You told me to
get dressed and dragged me all the way here without telling me why. What are
you up to?�

�Oh,
nothing too exciting.. I just need to talk with the
guys a second. Why don�t you catch up with the girls?� He gently pushed her
toward Cattleya.

She looked
at him oddly. �Okay� but I know something�s going on.� As she walked to join
the girls, Musica beckoned Let and Shuda further away from the house, nearer the cliffs.

�You�re up
to something Silver Rhythm. I can see it in your eyes!� Shuda
growled. �Out with it!�

�Yeesh, thanks for the vote of confidence..�
Musica smiled. �But you�re right. I�m up to
something. In fact, today, I�m going to do something I�ve never considered
doing, and will never do again.�

�Shut your
mouth?� Shuda asked hopefully

�I�m going
to ask Melodia to marry me.�

Shuda and
Let stared at their comrade. Then collapsed in loud laughter.

Musica
just sighed. �Wow. I�m glad you�re happy for me.�

Let managed
to speak, barely. �You, marry? HA HA
HA!!�

�Good one Musica, ha ha� You really got us
there��

Musica
thrust his hand out at them, revealing a diamond ring in his palm. They stopped
laughing.

�Good God
he�s serious..�

�Damn right
I am!! I ain�t gonna be the
last one in this crew to get hitched! You�re going last Shuddy!�

Shuda
crossed his arms. �Is that the only reason?�

�No..� Musica looked back to where
the girls were chatting. �I�ve been thinking a lot� about Melodia
and me� I thought I could be okay, you know, loving and leaving the ladies. But
when we came back, she was waiting for me, like she had for years. And I was
just so .. glad to have
someone to come home to, like you guys had. I like being with her. I want her
around forever.�

Let and Shuda looked a bit astonished. �Incredible. I�ve never
heard you sound sincere before.�

�Keep
laughing pal.�

�Seriously.. I�m pleased for you.� He patted his shoulder. I hope it
goes well for you.�

Let nodded.
�Sounds like you�ve finally wised up. I�m sure you�ll make her happy.�

�I hope so.. so hey, how about a few pointers
on how to propose to a girl? I mean, how did you two do it?�

Let thought
for a second. �I believe I asked her when we were about to be killed by Lucia
in the final battle. Of course, I was out of my mind with pain and adrenaline
at the time, so I didn�t really mean it. She still insisted though..�

�I asked
her a few months after we came home. After an interesting night involving some
chocolate body paint��

Musica
stared at them, deadpan. �Boy, you guys are real romantics, you know that?�

--------------------

Further
away�

�What are
they talking about?� Melodia wondered as she watched
the men chatter about something.�

�Probably
planning a fishing trip or something..� Julia rolled
her eyes. �Why are men so into stuff like that?�

�A mystery for the ages.� Cattleya laughed.

Julia�s
mobile then rang. �Hello?� She answered.

�Julia-chan!� Elie�s
voice was loud enough to be heard by the others. �Thank God! I need your help!�

�Hi Elie.� Cattleya
spoke. She was rewarded with a loud shriek on the other end.

�Catt-chan! What are you�
Go away!�

�What?
What�s wrong?� Julia held the phone between them.

�I need to
talk to Julia about something private.�

�Does it
involve Haru?�

There was a
long pause before� �Yes� but I can�t discuss it with you hearing. I�m talking
about your brother and me� in an embarrassing fashion.�

�Elie, I had to wash Haru when he
was a baby. I had to deal with him stealing porn mags
from Genma when he was eleven. Don�t think I�ll be
embarrassed by this.�

�Haru stole porn?� Julia sounded shocked. �Wait, have you
and Haru actually��

�No!
Yesterday we tried, but Haru froze again, and we got
caught in a storm and I got really mad and yelled at him, and now we�re not
talking and Belnika thinks I�m becoming too obsessed
with having sex because I�m scared!�

Cattleya
swallowed. �Well� that is a doozy.�

�Scared of
having sex?� Julia blinked. �How the hell can you be scared of having sex?
You�re using protection, right?�

�Well, I
plan to��

�So, why
are you scared exactly?�

�I didn�t
think I was, but Belnika said some things that made
me think she�s right. I�m only interested in shagging Haru
just so I can get it over with.�

�That�s
stupid Elie. Okay, it�s not perfect all the time, but
with the person you love, it�s lovely.�

�Is it? I
don�t know! I�ve only heard stuff about it. How good it�s supposed to be when
he finally.. puts it..� A sob
was heard. �I don�t know what it�s really like. I�m scared I�ll hate it! I just
wish he would hurry up and do it already so I would know.�

�Oh Elie, calm down.� Cattleya
soothed. �You make it sound like the worst thing in the world.

�Well I
don�t know. That�s why I called. I want to know from some experts. Tell me what
it was like for your first time.�

Cattleya
and Julia blinked in surprise. �Elie!
That�s private information!�

�Oh come
on. Just describe it to me. Spare no details.�

Julia
sighed. �Well, if it�ll help. My first time with Let, was a few years ago. I
caught him when he was finishing training. God, that night felt so magical. The
moon was out, shining everything in this pale light, and he was standing there
shirtless, gleaming with sweat and looking tired. I felt a bit embarrassed
watching him like that�

�Get to the
sex!!� Elie demanded.

�Well, we
found a secluded spot, got naked, and well� at first
Let wasn�t going along with it.�

�He
wasn�t?�

�Nah.
Soon as I got his trousers off, he started rambling about how it was unhonorable it would be to take me without first getting
permission to marry, and how he was not about to let a woman control his
emotions and some crap..� She paused at the other�s
looks. �What? We were younger. Let was a bit of an ass back then.�

�So, what
made him change his mind?� Elie asked.

�Well, once
I introduced him to a little concept named �going down� he just couldn�t get
enough.� She smirked.

�Oh my��

�That�s
what he said! I tell you, the man kept me on his back for ages. I had never
felt so alive.�

�So, it
really felt good?�

�Yeah��
Julia glanced over to where Let was. �But the best part I think,
was that I finally got him to open up and share something with me.�

�Aww..�

�That was a
bit like Shuda, the first time he was here.� Cattleya spoke wistfully. �I was so frightened of him at
first, but once he�d promised he was only there to get info from Shiba, I began to take an interest in him. I have to say,
my first impressions were not good. He was rude, arrogant, distant
to everyone��

�Was? He
still is..� Julia joked.

�Anyway.. one night, he found me crying
and upset, because I was missing Haru, and the next
thing I knew, he was kissing me and feeling me all over.�

�Yikes. Haru would not have been happy.�

�I can
imagine� it wasn�t really what I expected. I kinda
had a fantasy of it being romantic, pleasure from end to end. Reality is a
different story though..�

Elie
gasped. �Shuda didn�t hurt you, did he?�

�Well, not
on purpose. He was pretty rough, and I really felt it inbetween
all the good stuff. But I can�t really blame him. Afterwards, he told me I�d was the first girl he�d been with in months.�

�Soo, you didn�t like it?�

�Not at
first, but he was eager to show me it could be better. Very eager�� She smiled.
�I was glad he was able to stay around. Him and me.. it was like nothing we had ever felt before.�

�So you see
Elie, your first time may be good or bad. But as long
as you�re willing to love Haru regardless, it really
doesn�t matter.�

Elie was
silent for a while. �Wow� you�re right I guess. I just got so caught up in it
all. Wanting this honeymoon to be perfect..�

�It can
still be Elie. Just go and apologize to Haru. Spend some time with him,
there is more to him than a sexy bod you know.�

�I know��

�And he may
be more willing to do the deed.�

�I should�
but I don�t know if I�m ready to talk to him yet. He�s still upset about what
happened on the boat.�

�What
happened?�

�Well he
froze up before we�� Elie
made a cringing noise.. �And well, the rest isn�t that
interesting.�

�Fine,
we�ll get details later.�

�The point
it, I think I�ve put him off sex. He probably won�t even look at me!�

Julia
sighed. �Okay Elie. I know what to do. First, you
must have that talk with him, and then��

�And then?�

�You need
to seduce him.�

�I�ve tried
that! I�ve done all the tricks short of kissing Belnika
again!�

�Then�� She
smirked. �You do this�� She turned away from the other girls, speaking quietly
into the phone.

�I should
do that?!� Elie could be heard.

�I assure
you, there is no way Haru can turn you away with
this.�

�Okay, I�m gonna do it! Julia, Catt-chan,
thank you so much!�

Julia
smiled as she folded her phone away. �Well, that�s my good deed for the day.�

Cattleya
frowned. �Just what did you tell her to do to my brother?�

�No relax.
It�s nothing painful.�

�What is
it? And what was that about a girl she kissed?�

�Ooh I
can�t say��

�Tell me!�

Melodia
ignored the two, and looked back at the men. She noticed Hamlio
seemed to be shouting at someone�

--------------------

�Okay, so
how should I tell her. I want to utterly surprise her
with something romantic.� Musica pondered on words
for a moment. �Hmm.. Melodia,
you�re the only one for me.. Melodia,
I wanna love you forever��

�Just turn
on that stupid charm of yours.� Shuda huffed. �It
fooled half the women we met on our travels, it should fool her.�

Musica
grinned. �Yeah, you�re right. I mean, it�s me. The master of
the chat up line. I can come with something on the spot.�

He turned
to where the girls were. �Well guys, see you at the wedding.� He took a step
toward his new destiny�

Then his mobile
rang.

�Dammit�� He quickly answered. �Hello?�

�Musica! Great, you gotta help me!�

�Haru?� Let and Shuda pricked
their ears. �Why are you calling me now?... Oh please
don�t tell me you haven�t..�

�I
haven�t.�

Musica
sighed. �Haru, you�re a great guy and I love you, but
you�re a disgrace to the male species. What happened man? I thought you were gonna romance her on a boat.�

�Yeah, that
didn�t work. Long story. Look, I can�t keep doing
this. Everytime I see Elie
I wanna rip her clothes off, but I just can�t seem to
actually do it. Something�s keeping me from� you know� making the final
connection.�

Shuda and
Let crept up behind Musica, listening in to the
conversation. They looked rather shocked at Haru�s
revelation.

�I know I
can beat this Musica. I just need to figure out why I
won�t have sex. So I�m asking, what do you think I should do?�

Musica
looked at the phone, then back at Melodia.

�Sorry bro,
I haven�t a clue.�

�What?�

�I said
sorry. You�ll have to figure it out yourself.�

�Oh come
on! I�m sorry for being a pain, but don�t blow me off! I need help.�

�I don�t
believe this�� Musica growled. �Look, it isn�t a good
time. Why not ask your brother-in-law here?� He held his phone out towards Shuda.�

�Shuda is not my brother-in-law!!�

�Not yet
anyway�� He passed the phone to Shuda. �I gotta go�.�

Shuda
grabbed his arm. �Not so fast Silver Rhythm. Your.. little errand can wait a bit longer. Haru
needs our help right here and now.�

Musica
recognized Shuda�s �I�m going to torture someone�
smile. He sighed. As much as he didn�t want to do this, he wouldn�t refuse his
friend�

�Alright then Haru,
but make this quick, okay.�

�I will. I
just need to figure out what�s wrong with me.�

�You�re
secretly gay?� Let spoke aloud.

�What?!!
No!!�

They looked
at Let in surprise. He just shrugged. �Blame Julia.
She watches these inane TV soaps during my training, and I can�t help but
listen.�

�Yeah�� Shuda rolled his eyes. �Haru, I
fail to understand why Elie is turning you off. Two
years you spent on the quest watching her from afar, now you�re avoiding her on
your honeymoon.�

�I don�t
mean to! I try to make a move, and I just stop. I don�t get it. Do you think
it�s an illness?�

�An illness?� Musica sighed at Haru�s
stupidity.

�Yeah, like
a bug or something. You get some weird illnesses in these warm places��

�Shut up Haru! It ain�t no
illness, it�s just you being a wuss!�

�A wuss?� Haru growled, obviously
hurt by the insult.

�Yeah!
And a prat! Which put together, makes you a pussy!�

�Oh you
think I�m afraid?� Haru�s voice was louder. �I am not
afraid of having sex!�

�Are you
sure about that?� Shuda asked.

�Oh not you
too��

�No, hear
me out. Is it possible you�re stopping yourself because you�re afraid of what
might happen? I mean, this is something you�ve never done before.�

�What?� Haru sounded shocked. �That�s stupid! What�s to be afraid
of?�

�I dunno�� Shuda replied. �Why don�t
you pitch some suggestions?�

�Me?� The
sound of Haru scratching his head could be heard.
�Okay. Well, I am a little worried about stuff like diseases and pregnancy. Sister
warned me about that.�

�And what
else?�

�I can�t
think of anything else..�

�Come on Haru. Something is bothering you about this, even if you�re
not normally thinking about it.�

There was a
long pause.

�I.. I guess I�m worried she may not like what I�ve got to
give her. That she won�t enjoy� er,
me. And I worry that somehow, I�m going to mess this marriage up in the
future, and we won�t be together anymore..�

�I can
relate.� Shuda replied truthfully, glancing over at Cattleya in the distance.

�And.. I kind of wonder� if we do do
it, I�ll hurt her at all��

�Aha!� Shuda snapped his fingers. �There�s your problem. The old �white knight� complex.�

�Excuse
me?�

�What Shuddy means is, you�re being overprotective, as per
usual.� Musica joined in.

�You�re
telling me.. I won�t have sex with Elie
to protect her?� Haru spoke disbelievingly.

�Think
about it.� Shuda explained. �All through the quest,
you were the first one to help Elie whenever she got
into trouble. No matter how dangerous it was, you always leapt in to protect
her.�

�Well yeah, of course. I love her.�

�Not at
first. She was just your friend at first. But once you began loving her, you
got more protective of her, to the point where you never had to think about it.
Elie was about to get hurt, BAM! You were there.�

�I guess..�

�So, now
you�re in a situation where, in the back of your mind, you think you may hurt Elie, thus, you automatically stop when you try and do the
deed.�

One could
imagine Haru�s look of shock. �I refuse to shag her�
because I LOVE her?�

�It�s just
your instincts acting Haru. What you have to do is
forget them. Sure, you may hurt Elie a little when
you take her, but that�s life. Just keep remembering that you can give her a
lot more love than you could ever give her pain.� Musica
spoke

�He�s
right, admittedly..� Let joined in. �Living with the
person you love is always going to bring problems. But you should never let
them get between you. Just let her know how you feel. How you really feel about
the whole thing. I doubt she�ll be pleased, but it should at least let her know
you only act this way because you care for her.�

�Yeah�� Haru sounded convinced. � I�ve never
really discussed anything like this with her before. Guess I got more focused
on the wedding..�

�Well, now�s your chance. Do it now, before it drives a wedge between you.�

Musica
grabbed the phone back. �So, you clear now Haru? Talk
to her!�

�I guess I
should talk to her and sort this thing out� Thanks you guys.�

�Anytime!
Bye!� Musica clicked the phone off, and began briskly
moving toward the girls again. His path to Melodia
was clear�

The phone
rang again. Angrily, he answered it. �What?!!�

�Sorry
again..� Haru spoke meekly.
�But I gotta know� how much does it hurt her when
you� enter her? A little or a lot?�

Musica
finally snapped. �FOR GODS SAKE HARU!! I�m trying to
propose to Melodia!! Would you please fuck off!!�

Haru
gasped. �Wow! You�re really� no way!�

�YES WAY!!
NOW GO AWAY!�

�O.. okay!! And congratulations man!�

He hung up.
Musica breathed in relief. At least, he could finally
declare his love to the woman of his dreams�

He turned
around, and she was there in front of him, Cattleya
and Julia behind her. All three girls had shocked expressions on their faces.

�What the..� Musica was taken aback. �What
are you doing here?�

�Wondering
what you guys were yelling about.� Julia replied. �And from what you just
screamed, I�m wondering if you were concocting some prank to play on Melodia.�

He focused
on Melodia, her face mixed with surprise and anxiety.
�Hamlio� is.. what you said true?�

�Um�er�� He cringed, not sure what to say. This wasn�t how he
wanted her to know. He had it all planned. She looked at him, eyes wide in
expectation, as he stuttered. �I.. I..�

�Oh, spit
it out man!� Shuda yelled behind him. �She already
heard you. Get on with it!�

�Shuda!� Cattleya chided. �Stop making
this worse.�

�I think
we�d better give them some privacy.� Julia spoke. �Come on guys, let�s go.�

She and Cattleya grabbed their spouses and pulled them aside. Musica managed to finally swallow.

�Er� Mel-chan uh� forget what I just said! That was just� a joke! Yeah, I was
messing with Haru!�

Melodia�s
stare deepened. �I know when you�re playing a joke. And I know when you�re
serious. And I know, when you yelled that� you meant it.� She looked at him
hopefully. �You do mean it, right?�

He stared
at her for a few seconds. She was so right. Who else knew him so well?

�Dammit Mel, I didn�t want it to be like this.� He looked at
his feet in shame. �I wanted to do it the way I thought you would like it. I
wanted to ask you at the cliffs, so I could ask you as the sun set.. that way, you could remember it
forever��

She moved
closer, and took his hand. �You don�t have to go to so much trouble.�

�Yeah I do.
I mean, you deserve the best. And you deserve a guy who always gives you what
you need� I want to be that guy..�

She lifted
his chin with her finger, forcing him to look at her. �You�ve always been that
guy. And if you want to really do your best for me� please don�t back down if
you�re really sure of this.�

He nodded,
a smile returning to his face. He was sure all right. After all his years of
Punk Street�s biggest playboy.. he
was finally sure.

He dropped
to one knee, pulling the ring from his pocket and holding it out to her.

�Melodia� it took me forever, but I finally found the one
person that completes me� will you marry me?�

For a
second, he wished he had said something a bit less mushy. But after Melodia grasped him in a hug, he really didn�t care what he
thought.

�Yes� I
will..� She cried happily.

His arms
around her, he kissed her deeply, feeling truly content for the first time in
ages.

�Is this
what she meant� what we would find between us?� He thought. He was
interrupted when he heard the others cheering behind him. He and his girlfriend
� no, fianc�e turned to see Julia and Cattleya
clapping excitedly, and Let and Shuda smiling with
pride.

�I�m
impressed Silver Rhythm. I guess a leopard can change it�s
spots.�

�Ah come on
Shuddy.� Musica smirked.
�You knew I would never run away from this.�

He looked
back at Melodia, her face more pretty than he had see
it before. �I�m not running away again..�

�This is
wonderful!� Cattleya gushed. �Ooh, I can�t believe
it! Another wedding!�

�Oh yeah.. kinda
forgot about that bit..�

�You must
let me plan it! We can use some of the old stuff from Haru
and Elie�s..�

Meloda
put a hand up. �Hold on. Before we get to all that��

She hopped
up into Musica�s arm, prompting him to catch her. �I
would like a nice, romantic dinner with the man of my dreams.�

�Too bad.
You�re stuck with me.� She giggled in response.

�Yeah�
stuck with you always��

And with
that, the newly-engaged couple walked off toward the town, their eyes only for
each other.

Let smiled.
�Ahh,
makes you proud, doesn�t it? To see your friends taking the
next step in their lives.�

�It does
indeed�� Shuda agreed.

There was
silence for a while� then Shuda chuckled.

�I give
them three months.�

�I say
five.�

Before they
could wager more, Julia and Cattleya whacked them
over the head.

--------------------

Haru hung
up the phone, still a bit surprise at Musica�s sudden
plan to propose to Melodia. He wondered Musica had just been trying to shut him up. �Then again,
Musica has done stranger things. If he�s serious
about this, I hope it works out for him.�

He refocused
on his current problem. Now he knew the cause of his unwilling sex drive, he
was eager to get back on Elie�s good side, and
finally give her the night she had been longing for. First though, he just had
to talk to her.

�Guess
we�ll sort this out at the dance�� He headed for his closet, ready to get
changed.

�He did� No way!� Elie squealed. �That�s so
cool! I knew he could do it!�

She noticed
Belnika standing nearby. �I gotta
go Julia. I�ll think about the stuff you told me.� She hung up.

�What was
that about?� Belnika asked. �You sounded really
excited there.�

Elie
grinned. �Musica just asked his girlfriend to marry
him.�

�Oh my�� Belnika clasped her hands �That�s so wonderful!�

�I know!
We�re all becoming couples. Crazy, huh?�

�A little�
but that�s just life moving on for us.�

�Speaking
of moving on� there�s a dance on in the main hall tonight, right?�

Belnika
nodded. �You�re planning on meeting Haru and
straightening this thing out?�

�I hope so�
I just don�t know if I can talk to him, he might be upset with me..� She smirked slightly. �But if I do, I have the ultimate
plan to bed him.�

�You�re
still trying to do that?�

�Yeah, but
for different reasons now�� She crossed her arms. �I�m not scared anymore. I
want to do this with him, because I love him. And I�m gonna
make sure he enjoys it.�

�I hope
so�� Belnika smiled. �Well, we should get ready for
the dance.�

�Ooh, Nika-chan, can I borrow a dress from you? I had a look
earlier, and you have some gorgeous gowns. I didn�t bring anything.�

�Of course.� She opened her closet, revealing her dresses. �Which one do you want?�

�I need
something to drive Haru wild�� Elie
eyed all the gowns. �Ooh! This one!� She pulled out a
short white dress. �Perfect! Anyone would look really slutty
in this.�

�That�s my
wedding gown!� Belnika shrieked.

Elie
blushed. ��. You made a lovely bride..�

--------------------

Belnika
stood at the entrance of the hotel�s main hall, smoothing down her peach dress.
The party had just begun, and Elie was already
dancing inside, but she was still waiting for her husband and Haru to show up. �Where are they?� She wondered aloud.

�Right here
love.� She turned to see Iulius, wearing a very
expensive looking purple tuxedo, complete with ruffled shirt and a cummerbund
around his waist. He took his wife�s hand and kissed it. �Ah, you look
ravishing as ever my dear.�

�You look
nice too, but don�t you think you�re a bit overdressed? It�s just a small
party.�

�Nonsense.
One can never be overdressed for a gala, no matter how small.�

�Think
again�� She led him into the hall, revealing the party was simply a large
buffet table on one end, multi-coloured disco lights
illuminating the room, and a DJ dressed in �gangsta� style clothing spinning some dance music.

�Yo, what happinin Periall!! We ready to throw some blazin
beats in this hizzy tonight! Make some noise!!�

�Good lord,
that man�s trousers are halfway off his arse!� Iulius gaped at the DJ. �Don�t they have a dress code
here?�

Belnika
giggled. �This is a normal party love. Not one of your fancy dos. You�re allowed
to let your hair down here.�

�This isn�t
exactly my scene�� Iulius stood uncomfortably, until Belnika dragged him onto the floor.

�Please,
just dance a little. You might enjoy it.�

�I might,
if I could discern a tune from this� noise� Haru!�

He spotted Haru, who had arrived wearing a smart shirt under a dark
jacket and pressed trousers. �Hey guys. Looks like a great party.�

�Yeah.
Now if someone would learn to loosen up..� Belnika eyed Iulius, who was trying
to bob his head along to a fast dance track, without much success.

�Have you
seen Elie anywhere?�

�She�s down
there. She�s been dancing for quite a while now.�

She pointed
down the hall, and Haru gasped at the sight of Elie, dancing away in a sleeveless black and white dress
with a ruffled skirt. She stepped elegantly to the music, her smooth legs
gliding along the floor, her hips swaying to the beat. He sighed, feeling
content to just watch her wonderful body in motion. But he had a task to do,
and he was already nervous about talking about their past argument�

As the
music finished, Elie came to a stop, laughing gaily. Haru ambled up to her.

�Er.. Elie-chan..�

She looked
at him. �Haru..� She spoke
nervously�

For several
minutes, they stood and stared at each other, not sure what to say. They still
had bad memories of their fight back in the ocean, and neither wanted to admit
they were sorry, when after all, it had stemmed from their bedroom problems. In
the end, Elie turned and walked away, leaving a
saddened Haru.

�Great..� He sighed as Iulius and Belnika joined him. �She still won�t talk to me.� He stared
forlornly at Elie�s back.

Belnika
snapped her fingers. �Maybe you just need to remind her how close you two are.
I know the perfect way� dance with her.�

�Dance with
her?� Haru thought about it. �I guess� but I�m not
much of a dancer.�

�With this
music, she won�t notice.� Iulius huffed as the DJ put
on another R&B track. �How can anyone dance to this rubbish? There�s no
rhythm! Would it kill this fellow to put on a jazz solo or something?�

�Good point.. I need something romantic.� Haru
walked down to the DJ�s booth, followed by Iulius.

�Hey, do
you do requests?� Haru asked loudly over the music.

�For sure man, what you after?� The DJ replied.

Iulius
stepped in. �Ah yes, we�re looking for something to instill a bit of romance on
the dance floor. We would appreciate it if you would play a� what do you call
it? A �hot lick?�

�Yo, screw you man! I ain�t
playing none of that soft-ass crap. It�s raw beats all
the way baby!�

Haru pulled
some edels from his pocket and thrust them at the
man. �Please? I really need to impress my wife.�

�Now you talking my language!� The DJ took the cash. �You got
it!�

Smiling, Haru and Iulius returned to the
floor. Haru crept up to the table where Elie was sitting, looking rather lonesome.

�Yo!! Here�s one for all the ladies out there, requested by�
some dude with bad hair!� The DJ announced.

A slow,
deep bass began to play. Haru tapped her shoulder,
causing Elie to look up in surprise.

�Care to
dance?� He smiled, extending a hand.

Nervously,
she took it, wondering if he wanted to talk about that stupid argument. She
took a deep breath, not knowing what to say. �Haru��

�Shh..� He pressed a finger to her
lips. �Don�t talk.. I just want to dance��

They walked
onto the main floor, Haru�s arms wrapping around her
as the song continued�

Hush
baby, wanna let ya know

This is how its gonna go

If you wanna come and play

Gotta do it my way

Hush baby, dont talk so much

Just wanna feel ya touch

Everything will be ok

If you do it my way

U feel
so good

Rest of my life I wish I could

Hold u tight and take a flight out the hood

Was i foul or just misunderstood?

Mind-mannered or up to no-good

It really doesn�t matter, either way I should

Maximize the moment and hold ya close

Jump in the drop spider and cruise down the coast

Who loved you the most?

I was never ghost

When lives was on the line

Confusion in ya mind

Runnin outta time

Drama of all kind

But there�s faith in our mind

We spiritually inclined

Sometimes I flip

Sometimes you flip

Sometimes we wild out and act like lunatics

We movin too fast, the whole world's in a rush

Everybody just hush..

�This is a
pretty nice song�� Elie spoke quietly.

�Yeah,
pretty romantic for a rap.� Haru agreed. They stepped
to the beat, Haru holding her close to his body. She
couldn�t help but relax a little. The warmth and smell of Haru�s
skin always made her feel safe. She sighed, leaning her head against his chest.

�I don�t
know if I told you this.. but
you look really nice in that suit.�

�Thanks.
You look great too.�

She looked
up, staring into his eyes. He had that happy look on his face, the one where it
seemed nothing could ruin his happiness. He pulled her closer, his head resting
in the crook of her neck.

�Seeing
you� it makes me remember how damn lucky I am.�

�I�m the
lucky one�

They danced
in silence for a while longer. But they didn�t need to talk. It was enough for
him to ne holding her. It reminded Elie
why she fell in love with Haru in the first place. No
matter what, he had always come through and comforted her, even when she didn�t
need it. Even before they were married, he was always close to her, like
nothing else mattered. After the argument, she had wondered if he would ever
come near her again. But she should have known better.

She
stretched her arms around him, hugging him. �I�m sorry� I never should have
said such mean things about you.�

He just
smiled and kissed her hair. �It�s alright. I said worst things to you.�

�No you
didn�t.�

�Yes I did.�

�No, you
didn�t..� She sniggered. He was such a kid sometimes..

�Lets just admit we both were mean to each other.�

�I
suppose�� She giggled. �At least we got to see each other wet and naked..�

He
sniggered in response. �Yeah.. that
was fun..�

She sighed
happily, leaning into him. Things were beginning to feel normal again. She
could feel him nuzzle her neck with his lips, and she felt obliged to return
the favour. Her lips grazed his skin. His hold
tightened around her, pressing her to his chest. She shuddered. Hoping this
moment would last forever�

I can feel ya
pain

Like we simese twins connected by our brains

Walkin thru the desert in the ice cold rain

Want you in my life and nothin�s gonna
change

God willin, we still be doin
our thang

When my six-pack's faded

Raps outdated

But thats many years from now so don�t rush

Little mama just hush...

�Alright, enough of that mushy crap!� The DJ bellowed, totally ruining
the mood. �Let�s get the floor moving with a jungle classic! Massive!!�

Haru and Elie paused mid-step as the slow song was replaced by a
blaring techno beat. Caught of balance, Haru stumbled
and fell, taking Elie down with him.

As he lay
on the floor, he craned his neck to see Iulius and Belnika sniggering. �Haru, you�re
not meant to do it on the dance floor!�

�Yeah, wait
until you go upstairs at least.�

He
understood what they meant when, looking down, he could see Elie
sprawled on top of him, her knees resting right near his crotch. She looked at
him, and they both blushed at the situation.

He helped
her to her feet. �Heh heh� sorry.�

She smiled
back. �It�s okay. It�s not your fault you have two left feet.�

�True�� He
sighed.

�Well, I
see you two have patched things up.� Belnika smiled.

�Not all
things.� Elie replied. �Haru,
would you mind if we went somewhere else? I need to discuss something with
you.�

�Sure.� He
shrugged. He took her arm in his. �Guess we�ll see you two later.�

As the two
walked off, Iulius waven
them goodbye, while next to him, Belnika gigged under
her breath.

�Something funny love?� He asked.

She grinned
from ear to ear. �Oh, I believe Elie-chan has a
little surprise for Haru. One he�ll never see
coming.�

�Ah.� He
smiled in understanding. �I suppose this means we won�t be seeing them in the
morning. Or indeed, most of the next day.�

�I hope so.
After all the effort they�ve made, they deserve it.�

�Indeed��
He looked coyly at her. �What exactly is her plan?�

�Why? You
want to try it yourself?�

�Why not?
I should try to keep this relationship interesting.�

�You night not like it.�

�For you my
dear, I�ll endure Hell itself.�

She
smirked. �Oh if you insist..� She whispered into his
ear. And what he heard made his eyes bolt wide open.

�Good
lord�� He looked at her in shock. �You�re not seriously suggesting we try
that?�

�Why not?
They are.�

�That�s
different. They�re desperate, we�re not.�

She wrapped
an arm around his. �My dear Iulius, you promised when
you married me that you would take me in sickness and in health, right?�

�Right.�

�Well�.�
She seductively rubbed her hips against his. �� I�m feeling very healthy at the
moment. So, you had better take me, right?�

Iulius
grinned. �Well, if you must insist..�

Haru and Elie walked into a large elevator. After selecting their
floor, Haru turned to Elie,
ready to speak his mind. �Elie-chan..
I er.. have
something to say too.�

She crossed
her arms, staring at him intently. �Is it about our little problem?�

�I think
it�s more mine..� He sighed. �But I want you to know,
I want to sort it out. I really think I can get over this.�

�What is
�this� anyway?�

He rubbed
the back of his head. �It�s a little hard to explain� but I promise. I will
make it up to you.�

He moved
closer and took her hand. �No matter how long it takes, I will do this with
you!�

Despite his
usual determination, Elie wasn�t so sure. �I�m not
sure I believe you after these past few days.�

His face
sagged. �I said I�m sorry.�

She smiled.
�I know� and I want to help us get over this.�

�Great. I
really want to..�

She pressed
a finger to his lips to silence him. �Haru� please
forgive me for this.�

He blinked
in confusion. �For what?�

Elie took
a deep breath, stepped back, and� �Dragon Style Knockout
Technique! HIIIIII-YA!�

With
lighting speed, her right hand shot forward and jabbed Haru
hard on the neck.

�OWW!� He
rubbed the affected spot. �Elie!
What the hell was that-�

And like
that, he collapsed to the floor, just as the elevator doors opened. Elie stared at her unconscious husband in surprise.

�Wow� that move Julia taught me really works!�

She bent
down to grab Haru and heft
him up, and started dragging him to their room.

�Now comes
the hard part��

--------------------

Haru
opened his eyes, feeling extremely disorientated. The room around him was a
blur, but he could still remember the last thing he saw. Elie
doing some karate move on him. Then it had all gone dark... as his eyes
focused, he could see he was in their bedroom, and he was laid out on the bed�

In his underwear.�

�What
the..?� He lifted himself up off the bed, only to be stopped half-way. Horror
filled his features as he saw his arms spread out and tied to the bedposts by
long strips of fabric. He pulled and struggled at his bonds, but they were
secured with very strong knots.

�Take it
easy Haru..� Elie�s voice floated though the air. He looked forward to
see her standing at the foot of the bed, wearing nothing but a pair of red silk
panties.

�Oh man��
He gasped, simultaneously aroused and scared. �Elie,
what the hell is this?!�

�What do
you think?� She climbed onto the bed, and crawled towards him on her hands,
giving him a spectacular view down her cleavage. Reaching him, he straddled his
waist, her hands settling down on his upper chest. She bent forward and kissed
him on the lips.

�I�ve
giving you what we both want. You do want this, right?�

He was
momentarily distracted by the shine of those wonderful eyes of hers, and her
hands moving softly across his skin. �Well, yeah� but why am I tied up?�

�So you
don�t try and run away again.� She smiled, trailing kisses down his face and
neck.

�Elie, just stop a second��

�No!� She
snapped, her eyes blazing in anger for a second. Then she calmed down, a sorry
look on her face. �I�m sorry Haru, but this is the
only way I can make sure we do this. Please.. just let yourself go. I�ll take care of you.�

Haru
could hardly reply as she resumed her kisses, her mouth and hands moving to
caress his chest. He let out a deep sigh, beginning to enjoy the feel of her
skin against his, despite his current situation. He tried to focus though.

�Elie-chan� before we carry on, I gotta
say something..�

Elie
ignored him, and concentrated on kissing his stomach, while her hands roamed up
and down his bare legs. He shivered in pleasure.

�Okay, you
just carry on� but I have to say this..� She lightly
ran a finger around the inside waistband of his boxers. Her mouth felt warm and
moist on his skin.

�Er� you see Elie.. I..I like protecting you. I have
ever since we met. I guess it�s because� oh man.. because I love you so much, and I want you to be happy.. always�� He managed to speak just as Elie
ran her tongue up his chest. �I always� always want to make sure you�re never
hurt.�

She grabbed
his boxers and pulled them down.

�Haaaaah�� He breathed as she gently touched his member. �� er� point is� I� reason I
couldn�t� perform is� I was still trying to protect you..
oh man!�

Elie
finally looked up at him. �Protect me?�

He nodded.
�Yeah� it�s like, you know� my subconscious or whatever you call it, telling�
the point is, I was scared I might hurt you if we went any further, even though
I didn�t know it. That�s why I kept stopping.� He sighed, knowing just how stupid
it sounded. Elie stared, not knowing what to say.

�But.. I�m over it know.. I understand
I might hurt you.. if we do
this� but I realize now it�s just a part of being together. No matter how hard
I try, I can�t make everything perfect for you� all I can do is hope you accept
whatever I can do for you� and know I do it because I love you.�

He blinked
as he noticed a tear in Elie�s eye. He hadn�t upset
her again, had he?

�Haru�.� She smiled. �You�re such a dipstick.�

She moved
her body upwards to kiss him. �Of course I know you love me. I see it every
time you look at me. Her arms encircled him in a hug. �I was� just afraid you
might not look at me that way if I didn�t pleasure you.�

�Get real.
I didn�t marry you for the sex you know.�

�I know,
but this whole sex thing� it�s really scared me.�

Haru
blinked, eyeing his shackled arms. �I don�t really call this scared.�

�What I
mean is..� She rested her head on his chest. �I was
looking forward to making love, but the longer you put it off, the more I began
to worry about what would happen when we did do it.�

�Like
what��

�I don�t
know� like we wouldn�t enjoy it or something� it�s so stupid..�

�Yeah�� He
rolled his eyes. �We�ve both been acting pretty stupid thse
past few days.�

�Some
honeymoon this is.�

They lay in
silence, trying not to think of the events which led to this moment. Right now,
they felt comforted by just being next to each other. Haru
relaxed, enjoying the sensation of Elie�s body on top
of his. After all the worry and crazyness of the past
few days, this was all he wanted. His wife close to him.

Though he would have to be insane not to want more.

�You know�
we could start again.� He spoke.

She looked
at him. �Huh?�

�We could
start this honeymoon again from here. Forget all the stuff that happened, and
start enjoying ourselves again.�

She smiled
in understanding. �Not a bad idea.�

�Except
this time..� Haru looked at
her tenderly. �I�m not afraid anymore.�

�Me neither..� She took his lips in another deep kiss, her tongue
snaking in to mingle with his. For the first time in ages, she felt no worry
about being close to him. No worry about what would happen between them.

�I
guess� we�re finally ready.� She thought happily.

�Uh� Elie-chan?�

�Yes Haru?�

�Could you
untie me now?� He nodded his head at his arms. �Cause
I�m going crazy not being able to touch you.�

She
sniggered at the look of desperation on his face, and was slightly tempted to
leave him tied up. But that would have been unfair. And she wanted his hands
all over her immediately..

She reached
for one of the fabric strips tying Haru�s hands to
the bed. She yanked one free, then the other. In an instant, his arms were
around her, his hands stroking the skin of her back. He pressed his lips to
hers in a long kiss, then the moved to her neck, brushing the soft skin. She
sighed contently, her body beginning to warm up.

Haru was
fighting to take her than and there, but he wanted to take it slow, to enjoy
the touch of her body, and to see how excited he could get her. He looked into
her eyes, delighted to see the pleasure within them. But there was more to
come.

His hands
moved to her front, and he cupped a breast in each one. She moaned, a low
hollow sound, as his fingers gently massaged the soft flesh. She shivered, feeling
hot and tingly in places she had never felt before. Her hands grasped his
shoulders, her mouth eagerly kissing his neck and face. She felt his hair, soft
and clean, against her cheek.

She would
have been content to just stay like that, letting him caress her body. But she
needed more, needed to feel his skin against hers.

She backed
away from for a second, and shifted into the space next to him. She turned and
rolled onto her back, stretching her arms above her head as she relaxed. Haru stared at her, mesmerized at the sight before him.
Never before had he seen Elie look so.. erotic. His hand moved to rest on one creamy thigh,
and he softly trailed a path upwards and along her tummy. Her skin felt like
warm silk under his fingers. He heard a soft giggle from her, indicating he had
tickled her. She looked up at him with a coy look.

�Well, come
on� quit doing it with your eyes.� She whined cutely.

�Don�t
speak�� He lay down on his side next to her, crossing one leg over her thighs
so she was closer to him. He kissed her, his hands settling on either side of
her body. One arm reached behind her to support her, the other drifted down to
stroke her thigh.

She sighed
blissfully as his kisses traced down her throat, then into the space between
her breasts. A high cry left her throat as he kissed,
then licked her left nipple. His free hand moved up to hold her right breast,
massaging it gently. Elie�s head rolled back, the
pleasure within her growing with intensity. Unbidden, her hand slid lower down
her body, in between her thighs.

She blinked
in surprise when she felt Haru�s hand join hers in that
rather personal space. He looked a bit uneasy.

�You�re gonna have to show me where to go..�
He spoke quietly.

She smiled
and held his hand, opening her legs to give him more room. His hand slid in
deeper, and she shuddered at the touch.

�Mmm.. yes�� His fingers brushed a
certain spot, and she gasped. �Ahh� there��

She felt
her body go limp, willing to just lay there as he pleasured her with his kisses
and touches. But after what felt like an eternity of floating in estasy, she felt it was only fair to return the favour. Her other hand snaked down between them, and
grasped hold of his arousal. He paused, startled for a second, but relaxed as
she gently rubbed and stroked him.

Haru gave
a shuddering gasp. He�d never felt Elie touch him
like this before, and he hadn�t quite anticipated how it would feel. His senses
seemed to more alert than he thought possible. He could feel the texture of her
fingers as they stroked him, the heat of her thighs against his stomach. He
felt more energized, and yet so relaxed, than any other time in his life. And
they were still to take that final step.

�Haru�� Elie whimpered. He looked
at her face, flushed pink with arousal, her eyes shining brightly.

�You are so
beautiful� He murmured, struck in awe at this new look for her.

A smile
spread across her face. �Haru� this is so good� but I
need more..�

Her gasping
tone suggested she wasn�t kidding. �For you� anything.�

He gently
shifted his body over her�s, closing the gap between
them. She shivered as she felt him up against her thighs, ready to go in.

He looked
worried for a second. �This.. hurts
I hear.�

She kissed
his forehead. �You don�t have to be scared��

Hearing her
say that, was all the encouragement he needed.

She winced
as he entered her, a sharp pain which seemed to spread all over her being. But
he was all over it, covering her face with soothing kisses. The pain subsided,
and then all she felt was him, within her.

They looked
at each other, both waiting until the other felt comfortable. Haru smiled assuringly.

�Hey.. this isn�t as bad I thought.�

�No�� She
grinned. �It�s better.�

�You feel
okay?�

�Mmmm�� She moaned. �This� this is better than anything I�ve
felt��

He kissed
her, ready to take things further. �I think� it�s about to go up a notch.�

He was
moving now, slowly thrusting in and out in a gentle rhythm. She gasped, feeling
the heat within her rise, the pleasure grow deeper. She found it harder to think, her thoughts
jumbled. All she could feel was him, his body melded with hers.

�More�� She
breathed. He moved faster now, and she was vaguely aware of her hips now moving
alongside his. She tried to talk, but she could not form the words. The ecstasy
he gave her was more than she could comprehend.

Then it
happened. She was overcome by a massive burst of bliss, one so strong it seemed
her entire body was floating on air. Everything around her
ceased to exist. There was only her and Haru, holding
each other in an infinite sky.

As she came
back to reality, she couldn�t help wonder where she came up with such weird
imagery. But the feeling� how could she describe it?

She settled
back onto the mattress, looking up at Haru, still is
awe that all this pleasure had come from his simple touches and motions. He
smiled at her, looking happier than ever before.

�Wow� his
voice was quiet. �Did you feel that?�

�Y.. yeah.. that was�� She shivered.
�That was like nothing else.�

�I know.�
He kissed her again, slow and deep compared to his other ones. � It was mindblowing..�

�Incredible..

�I felt
like I was flying..�

�As if we
were one person...�

They lay in
silence, staring at each other as they contemplated what had passed between
them. Never before had they felt so close to each other, so connected, not just
literally in body, but in heart as well�

�Let�s do
it again.� Elie said simply. Haru
blinked.

�Wha? Again?�

�Why not?�
She smiled impishly at him. �Our first time was pretty good, but we could do
better!�

�Hey!� He
spoke indignantly. �I was better than pretty good!�

�How do you
know?� She grasped his hands, and guided them to her breasts. �The next time,
you could be amazing.�

He grinned.
�Well, I can always use improvement.�

�Plus, you
owe me big time for all the time we missed out on this.� She pulled him down
closer to her, kissing him hard. �So you better give me a good time.�

�Sure�� He
rolled onto his back, letting her straddle his waist. �Just stay here, so I can
have a good look at you.�

�Perv�� She sniggered.

--------------------

Belnika
threw her head back, moaning in desire as Iulius
worked his magic between her legs. �Iulius.. yes..�

�Come for
me love..� He spoke huskily.

�Yes..mmm� yes�

�YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!�

The two froze
in fright. �That wasn�t me!� Belnika gasped.

The loud
scream was replaced by other extremely loud cries of pleasure. Iulius got up and grabbed a towel to wrap around his waist.
�What the devil..�

He opened
their door and peered down the corridor, trying to locate the sound. The cries
began again, seeming coming further down, where Haru and Elie�s room was.

�HARU!!
OH MY� MORE!! MORE!!�

He closed
the door, a small smile on his face.

�So, I
guess they talked it out.� Belnika laughed.

�Indeed,
though I wonder just how much talking they did.� He returned to the bed, laying down next to her.

�Haru always was a man of action.� She wrapped an arm around
his neck, pulling him closer. �No, I believe you were in the middle of
something..�

Suddenly,
there was an ear-splitting CRACK! The two jumped in alarm.

�What the
hell?�

Iulius
ran for the door again, and peered down the corridor. He could hear voices
again.

�Oh my God!! We broke it!�

�The couch!
We can do it on the couch!�

�Let�s go!�

Belnika
joined him. �What on Earth are they doing in there?�

Iulius
smirked. �Ever hear the expression, �Man of steel, woman of tissue�?�

�Yeah�� Her
eyes widened in understanding. �Oh my��

�Looks like
its man and woman of steel, bed of tissue.�

--------------------

Several
hours later�

A bellboy
nervously edged up to the door, and lightly knocked on it. A second later, it
opened a little, and Haru poked his head through the
gap.

�Oh hi, can
I help you?�

�Er yes sir.. we�ve
been having some complains from some of the other guests.� The bellboy spoke.

�About what?� Haru was mystified.

�Er� the noise you�re making.�

He blinked.
�Oh� right. We�re that loud?�

�Yes�

Haru
shrugged. �Well, sorry pal, but we�ll be making a lot more noise before the
night is out. We�ll try and keep it down though.�

The bellboy
frowned. �I�m sorry sir, but just about everyone on this floor is complaining.
I must insist..�

He paused
when Haru held out a wad of Edels
to him. The message was loud and clear.

�Er.. insist
that you keep it down a tad.� He eagerly took the cash.

�Thanks
man.� Haru shut the door, and was about to head back
to the couch�

But Elie beat him to it. She leaped into his arms, wrapping her
legs around him and knocking him back a step. He wasted no time in carrying her
back to the couch.

-------------------

The next morning�

The room
was a mess. Tables, blankets, lamps and anything else not bolted down were
strewn all over the floor, alongside the shattered remains of a double bed and
a couch. One could assume a hurricane had hit it.

The only
place relatively tidy was the bathroom, where Haru
and Elie were laying quietly in a warm soapy bath. Elie sighed as she settled her head on Haru�s
chest.

�You feeling okay?� Haru asked,
absently brushing her hair with his hand.

�Stiff�� Elie moaned. �I had no idea I could bend that way.�

�We�re
learning a lot today.�

�I�ll say.
You�ve got more stamina than you deserve.�

They both
chuckled.

�So um� I
guess I�ve satisfied your curiosity about sex.� Haru
spoke again

�You�ve
satisfied me enough for a month.� She laughed, kissing his chest.

�Yeah but� we kept putting it off, and it drove us apart.� His hands traveled down to rest on
her belly. �I don�t want this to affect things again.�

She turned
around and looked up at him. �Haru..
we put it off because we were scared. I know I was�
but after last night� I�ll never have to worry again. Because
you�re here with me. And I�m here for you.�

He pulled
her closer, bringing her eyes level with his. �Yeah.
Nothing we can�t do if we stick together.�

She smiled.
The pleasure sex had brought had been wonderful, but even it couldn�t beat the
sensation of having a loving husband. She hugged him tight.

Just then,
a phone was heard ringing. Looking around, they spotted Elie�s
mobile phone on the floor next to the bath. How it had got there, they did not
know. Haru reached down and picked it up.

�Hello?�

�Haru!!� Musica yelled at the other
end. �Where the hell have you been?!! I�ve been trying
to reach you for hours!�

�Sorry. I
was�� He smirked at Elie. �A little
busy.�

�Guess
what? I�m engaged baby!�

Haru
gasped. �What, really?�

�Yeah man!
I yelled it at you yesterday, remember? And Julia told Elie.�

He looked
at her in surprise. �Whoa! I thought I was just to get me off the phone.�

�It�s real
man! Listen, when do you get back? We wanna have the
wedding as soon as possible, and I need you as my best man.�

�Really?
Cool. I um� guess three or four more days?�

�Great!
It�ll take that long to get the wedding together. Man, I have never done
anything like this! It�s huge!� Musica sounded more
excited than ever before.

�You�ll be
okay Musica. Trust me on that.�

�I guess�
by the way, just where the hell were you last night?�

Elie took
the phone from him. �Oh hi Musica.
I�m sorry you missed Haru. He wanted to take a break,
but I�m afraid I had to get my full satisfaction. So I tied him to the bed��

Haru
snatched the phone. �See you later!� He quickly hung up, then
threw the phone away.

Elie
pouted at him. �Meanie. I
wanted to scare Musica.�

�And tales
of my first and last attempts at bondage is meant to do that?� Haru frowned.

�Your last?
Oh come on Haru, don�t deny you liked being tied up a
little.�

�I didn�t.�

�You did!�

�Maybe I�ll
tie you up and see if you like it.�

�Anytime.
You can use my belts.�

They looked
at each other, a bit stunned at the conversation they had just had.

�Are we
really considering tying each other up?� Haru spoke.

�Boy, Shuda�s right. We really are weird.� Elie
shrugged.

He kissed
her on the lips. �You�re weird� but I still love you.�

She happily
returned the favour. �I love you too.�

She sighed
as she settled into his embrace again. �I�ll never forget this day�.�

--------------------

Nine months
later�

�What�
the�. Hell�. Was I THINKING!!!? ARRRRRRRGH!!

Haru
stepped back as Elie screamed her way through another
contraction. Undying love or not, she was seriously scary like this.

�Uhh, many I should get her a glass of water.� He inched
neared to the door of the delivery room. Elie glared
angrily at him over her swollen belly.

�Oh yes, a
glass of water will make all this go away, you ass-hole jerk!�

He swallowed
and looked despairingly at the midwife. �How much longer have we got again?�

�She�s
about seven centimeters dilated. Still a while to go yet.�
She replied.

�Great��

�This is all your fault! You and your stupid dance!! If you weren�t
such a sexy dancer, I never would have gotten in that room with you!!�

�Hey, you
were the one who tied me up.� He defended. He blinked when he realized all the
medical staff were looking at him oddly.

Elie
screamed again. �ARRRRRRRGH!! How could you do this to
me?!! I should never have come to that stupid hotel!!� AHHHHH!! When I get out
of here, I�m gonna kill you!!�

�I thought
you gave her one of those epidural thingies.� He enquired of the midwife.

�We did.�

�Well it�s
not working!�

�ARRRRGH!!
You and your damn seed!!�

Haru
turned to the door. �I er� gotta
see some people. I�ll be right back!�

He left the
room hearing Elie bellow. �Haru! Come back here! HARU!! MY CHILD HAS NO
FATHER!!�

Sighing in
relief, he entered a nearby waiting room. Inside were Musica
and Melodia, Let and Julia, Shuda
and Cattleya, and Iulius
and Belnika. Both Melodia
and Belnika had very pronounced bellies.

�So, how�s
it going?� Musica asked.

�I�m in
fear for my life!�

�No, I
mean, how much longer until Haru Jr
comes out?�

Haru
shrugged. �I dunno.. another hour or so?�

Musica
bent down to his wife�s stomach. �Hey, you hear that kid? You�ve got an hour to
clinch this thing for me.�

Melodia
rolled her eyes. �Forget it Hamlio. You�re not
winning the bet.�

�Bet?� Cattleya was puzzled. �What bet?�

�Well, me and Shuddy had a little wager
on who would give birth first, her or Elie.�

�What?!�
Julia gasped. �That�s horrible! How could you do something like that?�

Let sighed.
�Oh quit lying woman. You took a stake in it as well. I saw you give the cash
to Musica.�

�It was
only five Edels!�

�Everyone,
simmer down!� Belnika called, waving her hands. �Haru�s under enough stress as it is.�

�Too right
love.� Iulius agreed. �We should be offering our
support.� He smiled at the Rave Master. �How do you feel old boy? Pretty exciting, you about to be a dad.�

�I think
I�m gonna throw up.� Haru
suddenly looked a bit dizzy. Iulius swiftly moved his
feet, clad in expensive shoes, away from him.

Musica
got up to pat his back. �It�ll be okay. You saved the world, you can handle
this. And hey, it�s gotta be easier than the actual
conception was, right?

Haru
frowned. �Thanks man. I really needed reminding that.�

�HARRRRUUUUUUUUUU!!!!�

�ELIE!� Haru darted out the room, and raced for the delivery room.
Inside, Elie was in tears.

�Haru! I�m so sorry� ahhh I
didn�t mean to be nasty to you!�

He took her
hand and held it tight. �It�s okay. I think I deserve some of those insults.�

�They said
I�m ready to give birth.. I�m so scared!� She looked
at him with a pleading look, wishing they could just go home.

Haru
kissed her forehead. �It�ll be okay. We stick together, nothing can scare us,
remember?�

She smiled.
�Yeah� together.�

The midwife
spoke. �Okay Mrs Glory, I think we�re ready to push.�

�Oh good.
I� ARRRRRRRGH!!� Elie
screamed in agony, her hand clenching and crushing Haru�s.

�GAAAAAAHHHH!�

Outside,
the gang waited for any news. Several minutes of screaming emanated from the
room. Then they stopped, to be replaced by the wails of a crying baby.. and a heavy object hitting the
floor.

�Oh my
God�� Cattleya gasped.

Then a
nurse came out. �Hey, someone get a stretcher in here! Some guy fainted!�

�YESS!� Musica punched the air. �Shuddy,
I believe you owe me 20 Edels.�

--------------------

�He �s so beautiful, isn�t he Haru?�
Elie cooed at her newborn son.

�I cannot
believe I fainted.�

�He�s got
your eyes.. how cute.�

�I faced
down the Endless! How the hell could I faint in front of a woman giving birth?�

Elie
frowned. �Haru! Knock it
off!� I know you missed Levin�s birth, but you�re here now.�

She held
Levin out to him, and he gently cradled his son in arms. She smiled at the
pride and love in his eyes.

�Hey.. it�s your dad.�

He stared
at the child. �Man, it�s weird.�

�What is?�

�Thinking
something as simple as making love can produce something so incredible.�

She
blinked. �Excuse me? You think making love is simple?�

�Well, it
is.�

�Hardly!�
She spoke indignantly. �It depends on a lot of things. The mood of the room,
the warmth, whether the girl is tired or fully awake�

��Whether the guy is tied to the bed.� Haru
smirked.

�Haru� we are never to talk about that again!�

�Sorry.� He
handed Levin back to her. �But you know, whenever you�re ready..�

He reached
into his pocket, and pulled out several leather straps. �I�m yours forever.�

Elie
sighed and looked at her son. �What will I do if you end up as nutty as your
dad?�
