The thornless rose ((Kiki*Tsukiakara)) **mature**

“I was just returning this girl to her home. This is where she lives is it not?” He asked. He also had Inori shown to Kikisu so she knew who he was talking about.

"Yes, but why does she need an escort?" Kikisu demanded talking Inori from them. "What's going on."

"She was attacked by a dangerous organization. We thought that for her safety that she should be returned to her home." the Anbu said. That wasn't the exact reason but the real reasons were classified.

Kikisu shook her head. "That's not exactly true is it? If she was captured then she'd have a lot more wounds. Inori'd never let herself be captive and survive in one piece. So unless you tell me the truth," her eyes shown red, "I'll get it."

"Her wounds were taken care of thanks to the medical ninja in the hospital. So please Ms. I have other matters to attend to." He answered. If Kikisu wasn't as politically powerful as she was he would have simply left Inori at the door step. But doing so would insult such her and he had strict orders not to.

"That's bs and we both know it." Her eyes lost their color ((btw she's a host :3 )) and she turned. She looked over her shoulder and said ominously, "Sleep tight."

The Anbu sighed. It was finally all over. He quickly jumped from house to house to attend to his next mission.

Kikisu sighed and woke inori up. "So, what happened?" But before she could answer, Inori began to panic, looking around for Tsukiakara. "Calm down, you're home. Now what happened." Slowly, inori told Kikisu of the story. When it was over, Kikisu laughed. "I knew that anbu was full of it. Oh well, next time i see any anbu from his village, I'll make them an example." Kikisu smiled bright, her eyes shining for a moment.

When the night was upon the house again another Anbu went to the window of where Inori worked on her art. He was your standard Anbu waring black and a cat mask. He scanned the room as if he was looking for someone.

Inori could hardly concentrate. She had no orders to fill right now, so she was weaving a story onto the beads, a story of her and Tsukiakara. "Oh, where are you..."

The anbu saw Inori. "Inori over here" a muffled voice said from within the mask.

Inori looked around, then turned. She ran to the anbu, and started hitting him ((not hard, much like soft its with the side of her hand, not hard)) "Where is he??"

"Hey Inori stop it. It's me" The anbu siad not taking any effort to strike back.

"Tsu-Tsukiakara!" She cried and kissed him passionately. Tears were streaming down her face. "What happened? Where did you go? Why did they take you? I missed you." Inori felt such pain in her heart she couldn't stand it.

"They made me an Anbu. They had to make everyone I know seem like I died. I'm breaking the rules coming here but I felt that you just had to know." Tsukiakara said. He still kept the mask on.

"No." She whispered softly at first, then yelled, "No! God dammit no! This can't happen, its not supposed to be like this no!" She turned from him, crying but angry at the same time. "This is bullshit. No!" She couldn't believe it. She would lose him no matter what it seemed.

"Don't worry we'll keep it our secret. There is nothing to worry about" he said hoping that would calm her down.

She turned and buried her face in his chest. "Do you have to go back right now?" She asked, wanting to be close to him a while longer. A million things were racing through her head, most of which centered around him and how she didn't know what she would do if you couldn't wake up in his arms.

"Yes I can" He said to her. "but I think the wedding will have to get postponed."

She laughed and kissed ihm. "Fine you meany." Inori slid ehr hands under his shirt, craving to feel his familiar flesh on her fingers. "I love you." She whispered, kissed his neck.

"I love you too" He said embracing her in another hug. The day was long and he missed her.

She held him close, and realized she wanted to make love to him. "Tsu, can we go to bed together?" She asked, looking up with pleading eyes. "Please?"

"Sure but where is your bedroom?" He asked not really sure where it was as he didn't immediately see a bed in her work room.

"Follow me." Leading him out while making sure no one saw him. When they were there, she let down her hair. Her room was very sensual looking, and she turned to him. "Let me get changed."

"Ok" He said as he sat on the bed. He didn't start taking off his clothes yet.
