[20:07] *** “hajime” signed off at Wed Feb 09 20:07:25 2005.
[21:10] hajime: (OOC: Setting very early in the morning. Wolf still at hide’s house) *gets up from futon and goes to the washroom… gets dressed casually and starts
[21:13] hide: I wake up slowly… Hajime is already up and awake. I get dressed and go down to the kitchen, where tea is already started… “Good morning,” I yawn a little, and smile. It is -nice- to have him here.
[21:14] hajime: “You look tired.” Getting up I take the teapot and the cups placing them on the table.
[21:14] hide: (OOC – going invisible)
[21:16] hide: “Tired? Oh, no, I’m fine.” I’m having a good morning. Of course, I always like tea in the morning. “Thank you for getting the tea… did you find everything?” I smile at him as I sit at the table.
[21:18] hajime: “Yes…” I glance back at her, taking note how -this- is her morning face. “Did you get washed up?” I must admit, I wake up early but I’m not necessarily a -morning- person.
[21:21] hide: I nod, sipping the tea. “Mmm… yes.” This is a little earlier than I’m used to being up, at least lately. “Well, if we’re going out anywhere I should put my hair up…” It’s still tied back in a ribbon, and not up like it should be.
[21:22] hajime: “You should…” Taking t he tea I take light sips. “Tch…” Puts the tea down. “I don’t have work today.”
[21:25] hide: “Oh really?” I smile much brighter. “Ah, then let me finish this…” I see that he’s not happy with the tea. I shall have to hunt down more coffee for him. I drink the last of my tea, and get up from the table and go back to the bedroom, putting the bedding away before starting to put my hair up.
[21:26] hajime: Waiting for her, I grab some of the milk from yesterday… This is -much- better. It feels weird without my katana, but then again I am on vacation until today. Putting everything away, I go to the garden and wait for Hide.
[21:28] hide: Done, I come back downstairs and then outside, seeing him in the garden, I go outside and lock the door behind me. I go over to Hajime and reach up to kiss him lightly on the cheek. “So you said something about a new katana?”
[21:30] hajime: I bend down slightly… and grin at the mention of a -new- katana. “Not necessarily new Hime… I cannot afford a new one, even if the Keikan will pay half of it.” I go ahead outside and start walking down the road, trying not to walk too fast. She always seems to have trouble keeping up.
[21:33] hide: “Ah, well, I’ve never been weapons shopping before.” I smile up at him. I liked it in Kyoto where he would take my hand as we walked. I guess back in Tokyo it’s different… but we have changed a little as well. Catching up to him my hand brushes against his and I look over at him.
[21:37] hajime: Perhaps I’m not used to walking with someone. Patrol is usually like that and when Tokio -does- decide to go out, she usually walked behind me or way ahead. Ah… It’s too early to think of -her-. How to explain tonight why I wasn’t there… Ah.. but she won’t ask of course. I’m jolted back slightly to reality when Hide brushes her hand against mine. Out of instinct I take a hold of it, while we walked towards the busier parts of tokyo, the market place. “Is there anything you want to buy or go to? This should not take long.”
[21:41] hide: I try not to grin as he takes my hand. “Mmm…. I have a few things I need to get… ” Suddenly I’m struck that I’d really like to get him back home and … ah, no! “I will make you lunch later… any requests?”
[21:44] hajime: “Hmmm something different… Bland and definitely… -not- sweet.” I grin at her. “I’ve had enough melons to last me for… a long time.” We pass by a wet market, where various meat is being sold, poultry, fish and cattle. The smell of course is quite gruesome as always. I chuckle a bit at the thought… Gruesome? “Step up the pace Hide. We’ll be back here if you need anything.”
[21:47] hide: “Bland?” I laugh. “Shall I just make you soba again?” I walk faster to try to keep up. “Or I can get some fish… it is nice enough today to eat in the garden.”
[21:50] hajime: “No soba..” I chuckle a bit at this… I am fond of soba… “Protein is important Hime. That is a little lacking in zaru soba. However I don’t think I can stomach fish for lunch. So can you guess what I really want?” I look back at her for a moment and stop in the middle of the road where people went about their daily business.
[21:53] hide: “I could tell you what I -want-… but maybe later?” I grin … “but as for what you want for lunch…” I look thoughtful. “Do I get a hint?”
[21:57] hajimenokizu: I pull on her a bit and start to walk again turning a lonely alley. There’s that playfulness again in her face, evidenced of course by her grin. Perhaps we can continue what we couldn’t last night. A smirk dances off my lips but she of course cannot see, it is good I have already picked out a katana the first day we got back. “I gave you lots of hints… And if you can’t guess by the time we’re back home… Then I shall have to find lunch elsewhere.” It’s my nature to play like this, make her -think- what the hell I’m up to.
[22:01] hide: “Ah, then I shall have to be clever and pay attention, ne?” I squeeze his hand tighter. “But I’ve already decided what -I- want for… lunch…” I raise my eyebrows and watch him out of the corner of my eyes, a smile still playing on my lips. I walk closer to him, and ask, “and if I do figure it out… what shall you do for me?” As I do not intend him to go elsewhere for lunch or -lunch-.
[22:05] hajime: “Do for you?” I pull her by the waist, closer to myself. I can see the shop just a few meters down the alley. This slightly reminds me of… that time while I found the Kunishige… Back then of course, I was alone and angry. Just needing a blade so I can go back and behead some Ishins who made life miserable for all of us. I narrow my eyes slightly… but they relax as I remember I -am- with someone. “I can do anything for you Hime… If you request it now, you’ll get it right here.” Ah… I think I just blew my cover.
[22:10] hide: “Right here? But I was going to wait for lunch…” I shrug, trying not to grin. Am I so obvious in how much I want him right now? Glancing around and seeing as we are rather alone in this alley, I pull him down and bring my lips to his for a long moment, before breaking away. “Ah, well, I would hate to ruin your appetite for -lunch-….”
[22:13] hajime: Glancing around, I quickly push her to an opposite wall and leaned my entire body against her… I wonder if she knows how much I want her right now. Taking her face with both my hands, I kiss her rather violently… and let my hands slide down her side.
[22:15] hide: I respond to his kiss…. it has been too long and I’m not as patient as I usually can be. I wrap my arms around his waist and pull him closer.
[22:18] hajime: She wraps her arms around me… That’s new I think… For her to be bold outside. I squeeze her buttocks a little and hungrily fight against her tongue… I do not close my eyes though as I break the kiss and start planting light kisses on her neck.
[22:22] hide: I’m already gasping for air as he releases my lips, and I tilt my head up to give him better access to my neck. My hands skim up his back and then down, and I press myself against him…. I don’t care where we are… I just want him.
[22:26] hajime: My hands skim the top of her kimono and pulls on her obi. It’s a bit tight and it’s hard not to fumble. I grind against her instinctively… Sometimes, I do think I am an animal… With no discipline. But ripping the kimono is not an option outside and I let go of her obi distract my hand with her breast. while my lips find her earlobe and start gliding my tongue along it’s outer edges… “Hide…” I whisper… I’d ask… but she knows already I’m sure.
[22:31] hide: As he grinds against me it is even more obvious he wants this.. He works on my obi without much sucess but he does touch my breast. With a sharp intake of breath I arch my back to press closer to his hand… I shiver as his tongue traces down my ear. I move away from where my body is pressed against him, just a fraction as I start to fumble with his belt, and I can’t help but to let my hands skim lower. “Yes… Hajime… yes.” I can’t wait for -lunch-.
[22:35] hajime: She loosens my belt and I know where her hand is going I think… I won’t stop her of course… No… Because how many days has it been? Too long I think… Since I’ve had her. My hands though can’t get anywhere past her kimono without damaging it… and I have no choice but to ask… “The obi hime…” kissing her chin and nuzzling her nape… i barely find the words to finish.. “untie it”
[22:38] hide: I laugh a little at that obi… and I move my hands away from him and untie my obi while I kiss down his jaw and neck, nipping lightly. It comes undone, and I whispher, roughly, “now, Hajime… don’t make me wait.” What has it been, a week?
[22:43] hajime: Of course I could just finish this and do what I want… I smile at her as she spoke to me. “You’ll have to wait just a little…” I whisper. We really should’ve stayed home today. Letting my right hand touch her creamy skin. I trace a finger from the crook of her neck, in between her breast, I look… my hand trembles slightly before cupping one of it. I squeeze lightly for a moment still watching, before lowering my head and taking the other in my mouth.
[22:47] hide: Wait? Ahhhh… he drives me absolutly crazy sometimes… and when he puts his mouth on me… I am ready and want him -now-. I moan a little, quietly, and I move my hands back around him, holding on tight.
[22:53] hajime: My hand leaves her breast and I hungrily replace it with my mouth again… I think the other one has received enough torture already. I smirk a little and bite her nipple. letting my left hand dig between her legs… Ah just as I’ve thought she’s not as ready as she thinks she is. I rub my index finger there for a while, waiting… while her hands is on my back, one of her arms though is on my bad shoulder and i shiver a bit at that. no.. i’m not going to say anything or it will ruin the mood for us. finally i’m rewarded a little as i feel something coating my finger slowly… i smile and bring my lips up to hers.. “now you’re ready i think.” and I have been ready since, we left the wet market I think.
[22:57] hide: Pleasure radiates through me as his play on my breasts continue… His finger goes down to draw out that wetness and I wonder how much more of this I can take… I’m already breathless by the time he kisses me and announces that I’m ready… “Yes… -very- ready…” I managed to get out before bringing my lips back to his, opening my mouth to find his tongue. I break away. “Now…”
[23:03] hajime: “I know hime…” I manage to say leaving the kiss momentarily… but coming right back to her tongue I keep my eyes open. Not wanting to break the kiss, I went ahead and lower her underwear slightly and take mine out, I guide it into her with a slight jerk, securing it inside her. Ah… she feels slightly different, a bit more tight than usual… Continuing the play with her tongue, I take my left arm and raise her right leg so I can go in deeper. I start moving against her in an even fashion, slower than usual because she feels tight. It must be because… we haven’t done this in a while. I narrow my eyes slightly, letting the feeling run from my abdomen reach my upper body. Kami… she feels good.
[23:08] hide: It’s hard not to cry out as he enters me… it feels as right as always… even if it has been too long… as we are I can’t move against him too much so I focus on the feeling of him moving inside me, and how it feels as I continue to kiss him. But this slower pace… every movement is intensified, a little more anticipation between each thrust. I break away from his kiss, panting, to whispher, “ah, Hajime…”
[23:15] hajime: I hear her call my name… “Yes… Hide?” I know she’s not really meaning to say anything, but this moment… as I glide in and out of her… I feel so blisfully happy. The excitement that I can do this with her now… and she didn’t push me away… I increase my pace slightly faster while I put an arm arm around her neck and rest my face on her shoulder. I think, I’m going to make this last for as long as possible… and maybe even then I might not stop.. i might not let go.
[23:21] hide: Is he wanting a conversation? At least he moves faster. “Hajime…. you’re driving me crazy…” I manage to get out… because he is… It’s something that we’re -here- doing this… but I wanted him -now-… I move against him as best I can, pulling my leg around him to pull him closer, deeper… my head falls back as I can’t really think anymore… just feel him in me, touching me…
[23:27] hajime: Hmmm… She’s moving against me… I think I’m too slow for her today. I let her move against me, it is sending a pleasurable sensation in evertip of my body, perhaps even my fingers. Ah… I love torturing this woman, I could actually just stop moving and let her take over, but I need this out of her too… and i command myself to just go with the same pace as before, while she throws her head back… I feel I’m coming very close to that point…I bring her head back and put my arm around it. stroking her hair as I did so. “ano…” A voice suddenly comes from the corner… A cop…I recognize him… for a moment I stop moving.. i narrow my eyes at him, warning him to back off and go back wherever he came from… I hold hide’s neck and make sure to bury her face into my right shoulder… and continue moving against her… kami i’m close… i watch as the man moves back from where came from… hopefully he will keep his mouth 0shut at the precinct.
[23:32] hide: I’m trying to hold on a little longer… I don’t want this to end but I need the completion… and I need it with him. I feel myself starting to get lost in everything, as he buries my face in his shoulder… I’m aware enough not to rest my head against it… I grip him even tighter as I feel it all starting to rise …. breathing hard, I move faster…. “now…” I pant. “now with me…”
[23:43] hajime: I move faster against her… Ignoring everything… “Yes” I whisper… my breath is haggard already… “Kami…” I push harder now… trying to get off with her… I feel i’m losing now… I grip her tightly almost crushing her… as i feel our fluids mix. I kiss her one last time and pull out… I lean on the wall breathless and tie my belt back into place.
[23:44] hajime: (OOC: sorry bout that friend freaked out on phone. got distracted ahahaha)
[23:46] hide: I lean back against the wall as he moves away… getting my clothes back into order… with what I’m sure is a silly, satasfied smile…. (OOC: no problem)
[23:48] hajime: I don’t think I can move yet… And the katana store which seemed so close earlier… now looks like miles away. “How was it?” I ask absent-mindedly, ah now the shoulder is stinging and now i’m mildly apprehensive of what just happened.
[23:49] hajime: I chuckle a bit at the thoughts… they didn’t matter a while ago… i look up at her still catching my breath.
[23:51] hide: “Ahh…. better than what I was thinking for lunch…” I grin over at him. “And you?” Looking around I should be shocked I guess… but I wanted it too much to be too reasonable at that moment…
[23:52] hajime: “Perfect…” grins… well almost perfect i think. I find some boxes to the side and sit on it for a while. “you want to sit?” I motion her to come over.
[23:54] hide: I sit over next to him on a box.
[23:56] hajime: “Hmm… I’m afraid you’ll have to go get the katana for me… or… you can carry me there.” I grin. “I did do what you want.”
[23:57] hajime: (OOC: editing yahiko’s post)
[23:58] hide: “Carry you?” I laugh. “But yes… you did do as I wanted….” I pause for a moment, thoughtful. “Were you surprised… here?” I ask.
[23:59] hajime: “Surprised might not be the word for it.” I look down at the dirt and pull out a cigarette to smoke.
[00:01] hide: I glance over to him. “Ah. What would be the word, then?” I guess it was rather bold…
[00:03] hajime: I shake my head slightly and grin then lighted up. “It doesn’t matter Hide. As long as you’re okay with it correct? Unfortunately now… You’ve started a whole new way of doings things… that I might find hard to avoid -doing-.”
[00:07] hide: I take his free hand. “Yes… very okay with it.” I smile over at him. “A new way? Ah, does this mean that I can have you do as I want … at times like this?” I grin over at him. “In Kyoto… I liked being free with you there.”
[00:11] hajime: Holding her hand I lean back to rest… There’s something else I want I’m sure… Maybe that’s why I chose also to do it here… “You can do with me anything you want.” I tell her my eyes glazed a bit. “It will not matter if we are in Kyoto or not.” I look down for a moment to my shirt, i smell… ah… it started bleeding. Letting go of her hand, I take out the handkerchief from last night I fold it and l slid it inside my shirt so that it doesn’t stain anymore than it did.
[00:15] hide: Looking over at him I wonder… he was shot… “Hajime, are you okay?” I stand up. “Come, let’s go home… we can get a carriage, and then I’ll have a look at it…” I touch his face, “you can come back for the katana later, ne?”
[00:18] hajime: “Ah I’m fine.” I smile at her. “I’m made of tougher material you know. And no… I want to get the katana NOW!” I stand up abruptly and pull on her… “Let’s go! And you have to cook later… TOFU!”
[00:22] hide: I smile. “I know, I know but I must fuss at you…” I laugh, and then get serious. “I take care of you… I need you around me for a good long time, you know.” I look up at him for a long moment. “Tofu?” I shall have to think of something… “we will have to stop on the way back home for that…”
[00:24] hajime: “Ah… I like Tofu -fried- with vinegar and a little soy sauce. Have you ever had that? In Aomori that was also one of the staples.” I tell her as we walk towards the sword shop. “Kizu is asking actually if your writer is in need to do something else… we can continue tomorrow… ” *sighs* “I’ll be honest I don’t want to.”
[00:28] hide: I look over at the writer working on the project I gave her. “No, no, she is fine…” I think about his request for tofu. “I’ve not had it but I’m sure I can manage it.” I think I can handle tofu -fried-. And he speaks of Aomori… which is rare. I look towards the store. “Ah, so this is where we were going?” I smile over at him.
[00:30] hajime: “Ah yes… It’s not really a sword shop.. but a pawn shop.” opens the door and walks inside not letting go of her hand. “There’s quite a few nippontos here.. I think your writer would recognize this one… (Link: http://www.nipponto.com/Sword/detailsadahiro.html)http://www.nipponto.com/Sword/detailsadahiro.html *chuckles* “Did she ever tell you about that sword I used on Sanosuke?”
[00:33] hide: “Yes, she told me… and she does let me read the books, you know.” I look at the sword and nod.
[00:35] hajime: “Ah… So.. How did you like my technique?” smirks “That ahou…” shakes head “doesn’t know when to pick fights…”
[00:37] hide: “Your technique?” I raise my eyebrows a little before winking at him, “it seems -effective-” I grin. Sagara? “No, no he doesn’t,” I laugh a little. “And he doesn’t seem to learn…”
[00:40] hajime: “Well the -other- one in that blasted rpg doesn’t… However, I do have quite a healthy respect for him in the manga.” *chuckles* “Of course I’ll never tell him that. He’s one of those people who has the propensity to get quite a big head if encouraged just a bit.” *bows slightly to the store owner but moves away slightly pulling hide to another corner* “this one is very special… it’s the Ikeda Kijinmaru Kunishige… although it is a wakizashi” *frowns* “do you know anything about this? or swords in general?”
[00:40] hajime: points to sword (Link: http://www.nipponto.com/Sword/detailkunishige.html)http://www.nipponto.com/Sword/detailkunishige.html
[00:44] hide: “If his head gets any bigger the hair would be most ridiculous…” I laugh. Swords… I shake my head. “I don’t know as much as I should…. I know the differences between a katana and a wakizashi… but not of that sword in particular. Tell me?” I do want to understand this …
[00:48] hajime: I watch the sword for a long minute… Ignoring the talk of the -ahou-. “It’s been so long since…” I smile back at her. “I lost my blade a long time ago.” *chuckles and frown* “It was the very first blade i had bought with my own money. Kondo gave me some money, but… I found that kunishige in a shop just like this…” *shrugs* “that’s a wakizashi though so it is useless to me. right now, i only carry full length..”
[00:49] hajime: Sesshu is the place it was made… Ikeda Kijinmaru is the god of course.. and kunishige is the name of the swordsmith… I think it was forged around 1681… *sighs* it was perfect… i think.
[00:51] hajime: One day I shall tell you of how swords are made and how they are classified of quality and sharpness… well maybe i’ll not tell you about how to test the sharpness… it is quite distasteful.
[00:52] hide: “If it is perfect… you could not use it? It is rather amazing to find it again after all of these years, right?” I smile, looking at the sword. “And yes, do tell me more about swords sometimes… I should know these things… I remember my father telling my brothers about that…”
[00:55] hajime: “No… A sword must be perfect, although with the new laws katanas are being obstrusively expensive… *shakes head* but -that- is a wakizashi.. and I’ve grown a distaste for -hidden- wakizashis as well.” *narrows eyes and moves away* “let’s look at a better one… Did you know what kondou-san used before?”
[00:56] hajime: *looks back at the kunishige for a moment* Sumanai… I should not say that about the wakizashi.. but i lost my kunishige a long time ago…
[00:57] hide: I say nothing about the hidden wakizashi… “No, tell me what Kondou-san used.” I remember him trying to test me, back when they first came… and finding Hidejiro useless.
[00:58] hajime: flips through a catalogue of books on the counter… shows it to hide (Link: http://www.jidai.jp/yk007.html)http://www.jidai.jp/yk007.html “A real pricey one… A kotetsu… he got it as a present after the raid in the ikeda-ya i think… a present from the daimyo of aizu.”
[01:00] hajime: the daimyo was… he was a good man… but was too busy protecting his own domain… had he not have surrendered the castle… *narrows eyes again* i will visit aizu one of these days again…
[01:02] hide: “Ah… I see.” I nod. “Quite a nice sword, then?” He speaks of Aizu…. “You should visit Aizu sometime… you could take me,” I smile over at him.
[01:04] hajime: I look back at her for a moment… I wonder if she realizes how much memories Aizu holds for me… and if she realizes that it was the daimyo himself who had matched me with tokio a woman from aizu… and if she did know… i wonder if she’ll grow a distaste for it, just like i did kyoto that one day… “I shall have to think about it.” i finally tell her.
[01:07] hide: I nod… I asked, at least. There are things I want to know about him but … he slowly tells me things that happened in the years since he left my father’s house until we met again last fall. “Ah, so do you see a sword that will work for you?”
[01:11] hajime: “I’m not sure… It is a question of quality or practicality… ” I take her to another side of the pawnshop and take two katanas off the wooden rack. “Perhaps you should pick for me… The price tag though quite differes… Here’s a michiro, quite inexpensive (Link: http://www.nipponto.com/Sword/detailshowa.html)http://www.nipponto.com/Sword/detailshowa.html and this one is similar to what I used with shishio.. but it is expensive.. (Link: http://www.nipponto.com/Sword/detailsukemitsu.html)http://www.nipponto.com/Sword/detailsukemitsu.html … any ideas?” The price against effectivity… ah the eternal question that haunts a real sword hunter. *sighs*
[01:14] hide: Looking at the both of them… “One -pays- for quality, you know… sometimes it is rather inconsequential, if it is something small. But in something as serious as a sword… I would think that one would fall on the side of quality.” I indicate the second one. “So that one…”
[01:15] hajime: “This of course means I cannot buy you a kimono anytime soon.” I quirk up an eyebrow.
[01:17] hide: “Ah…. well, I’ve had two new ones in such a short time… I shall not be lacking in clothes,” I laugh a little at that. “And this is important…”
[01:19] hajime: “It is…” I place the michiro back in the rack. She made a good choice, and even if she didn’t I would’ve still picked the sukemitsu… Because it is practical to do so. My job depends on a live blade and to kill swiftly and effectively. It is not frivulous. “I’ll be back.” I take the sword to the owner and discuss it’s papers and payment.
[01:21] hide: I’m glad he went for the better one… I worry enough about him, and I would like to know that he has what he needs when he is working… I wait on Hajime to finish up the transaction, looking around a little.
[01:26] hajime: Washima-san offers to wrap the sword but I refuse. I had taken my holster with me… The sooner I have this on my waist, the better I’ll feel walking around with Hide. Unarmed is not good. There are many who knows my face, most who do, does not like it. I could of course make do if it came down to it. Thanking the owner I go out. “Shall we go back?” I ask her. “We should take a carriage.” I am out of breath again I think… ah… I do not wait for her to answer and go out the store quickly to look my shoulder over. i need to get the gauze changed soon.
[01:28] hide: He immediatly puts the sword at his waist… I follow him out of the store. “Yes, a carraige… but we’ll stop and pick up the tofu for lunch…” And then I -will- make him let me look at his shoulder.
[01:30] hajime: We walk to the main street and I hail a carriage. The carriage takes us back to the wet market and I hail it to stop. “I’d get the tofu for you but I’m a little exhausted from earlier.” I grin… No… I just need to lay down i think, i can feel it oozing slightly. “Hurry…” i tell her.
[01:32] hide: The carriage stops at the market and I get out and get tofu as quickly as possible. One back in the carriage I look over at Hajime. We need to get home soon… and he still grins at me…
[01:34] hajime: The ride is not too long. I alight immediately off the carriage not really waiting for hide. she’ll be fine i know this. I take the keys from my pocket and grin slightly feeling a bit light headed. Turning to look at her, “Go prepare lunch I’m hungry.” I tell her. Then I head straight to the washroom.
[01:35] hajime: (upstair washroom)
[01:36] hide: I take the tofu to the kitchen… But … I can’t just let him. I go upstairs, and try the door of the washroom. “Hajime… you can’t keep this from me… let me try to help you…”
[01:38] hajime: “No no…” let’s out a chuckle. “I’ll be downstairs in a minute… I’m hungry hide.” I hope she listens… This is nothing. “I’m using the toilet, it smells rather funny.”
[01:42] hide: He’s…. trying to be funny. “You can’t keep pushing me away…” I sigh. I go back downstairs and start to prepare lunch.
[01:45] hajime: “hai hai!” I chuckle one more time then I hear her footsteps go away. Throwing the bloodied handkerchief in the garbage, i change the gauze with some hand towels she keeps. Much better I think… I head over to her room and lie on the futon and pass out. (OOC: end scene – lunch whenever. ahahaha)
