You Will Only Be Mine-Chapter 325: Heresy

Blood stains are officially my least favorite stains and I never thought I would say that. Maybe because it was let out to dry it is so stubborn but this is still too much. From her body, it was easier to wash them off but the hair, it is a pain.

"Are you okay Ai?" I asked her and she looked confused and turned to look at me but I grabbed her head making her face forward. "I am still washing your hair you know, just reply like this."

"I am, but why are you asking that?" she asked.

"It’s just the hair is taking too long to wash so I thought you may start getting annoyed by it," I said washing her hair one last time. Please clean, I beg of you.

"No, I am actually enjoying it a lot," she said and leaned back resting her head on my shoulder. Looking up she locked eyes with me and I held her close. "I missed you."

"I missed you too," I said kissing her forehead. "Okay, one last wash with water and it should be good to go."

I took the bucket of lukewarm water and poured on her hair. She shook the remnant water off, are you a little puppy? Well, I am not complaining. I stood up and walked into the bathtub and proceeded to sit comfortably in it. Looking over I found Ai standing there looking at me like a deer in headlight. I chuckled a little and leaned forward grabbing her hand.

"Mind joining me here Mademoiselle?" I said in a teasing tone pulling her into the bathtub and making her sit with me. I wrapped my arms around her and rested my chin on her shoulder.

"Is it just me or has Kazu-kun been a lot bolder recently?" Ai said looking a little shy from this sudden action by me. Ugh, how can someone be this cute? "It is a little embarrassing for me too, that you always tease me and I don’t get the chance to do that."

"If I remember correctly it was Ai in the very beginning who was super bold. I mean, not everyone just breaks into someone’s house through the window and sleeps next to them," I said and she puffed her cheeks pouting. My heart will burst today, I am very sure about it.

"If anyone is weird in it, it’s Kazu-kun for being so calm through it," she said and I chuckled. She does have a point.

"You have a beautiful girl in your room and sleeping next to me. I should be worried about it?" I joked and she flicked my head a little.

"Still have some sense of danger, what if I was someone who wanted to harm you?" she asked her cheeks still puffed. She looks like a squirrel hiding its food in its mouth.

"If you wanted to cause any harm to me, you would have already done it," I said but she didn’t look convinced.

"But you didn’t know that," Ai said and I nodded my head. I don’t have any rebuttal to that. Even after everything that happened, my reaction surprised me the most on how I was able to keep that calm. Maybe it’s my habit of being calm in dangerous situations, or my attraction to Ai prior to the events that made me think I was dreaming.

"You have me beat there," I said and pulled her close to me. "But I knew for a fact that Ai was not there to hurt me. Let’s say it was my guts telling me that."

"Mmmh…" she decided not to talk further about the subject and her mood suddenly dropped. It looks like this discussion might have brought some negative thoughts in her mind. I can’t allow that.

I decided to use my ultimate weapon, the ultimate technique passed down by the Shiba household over generations. It takes the masterful use of one’s fingers to the perfect precision to yield the best outcome. Being the receiver of the technique, I have also perfected it to a certain extent and it was time to use it Ai.

Shiba special, ten fingers of death.

I grabbed Ai’s waist and started tickling her sides. Taken aback by the sudden thought she was first shocked, Ai started to laugh and started kicking her legs in the water. She tried her best to get out of the grip but I was not going to let her go that easily.

"Ahahahahaha K-Kaz-hahahahaha, stoop," she whined while laughing but I kept going. "Ahahahahahaha come on now!!"

"Nope, Ai looks sad, Kazuki doesn’t want that, Kazuki tickles," I said and turned her around grabbed her feet, and started tickling them too. She tried pulling them back and laughing but I didn’t let go. Looking at her, a soft smile formed on my face and I let go. She grabbed her stomach and started catching her breath and I just looked at her amused. Looking back at me, she made a sulking face and I couldn’t hold myself back.

"Come here," I said opening my arms and though she looked grumpy, Ai made herself comfortable in my arms and snuggled up to my chest. I held her tight and patted her back. "There, there, it’s alright now. I am right here."

She didn’t reply and just sat in that position and I let her be. Her pale white skin was now glistening right before me and her hair smelled amazing. It wasn’t the smell of something delicious but more like a fragrant flower. I enjoyed the feeling and decided to stay like that a little longer in the bath. It wasn’t as if we had not spent a good amount of time in this place. Though before it was more of Ai forcing herself on me.

Feeling peaceful, my eyes went back to her scars and some thoughts started coming to my mind. Thoughts that I was not too proud of having. Though it wasn’t against Ai.

Ai is not that strong.

Ai is not that careful about her own body either.

Ai needs to be protected.

I had to be the one to do that.

Even if it meant forsaking anything.

What is the worst that could happen? I die? Well, I was dead for a few minutes if I do say so myself so it won’t make too much of a fuss. How selfish of me, to be thinking this but I couldn’t help but feel overprotective of her.

Ai is weak.

Ai is not careful about her own body.

I cannot rely on Ai to always protect me.

I must be protected.

I am the only one who can do that.

"Kazu-kun…" Ai spoke softly and I looked at her only to see her tilting her head up with her eyes closed. I knew what this meant so I closed in the difference between us and kissed her. It was gentle, warm, and sweet. For the first time in my life, Ai felt so frail and small in front of me. I could not let anything happen to her again.

I caressed her cheek and deepened the kiss. She wrapped her hands around my neck and pressed her body against mine. Though it was exciting me it wasn’t something I should push on her right now. Ai needs comfort and affection; my sexual desires are something that can only be allowed to be fulfilled after Ai’s needs are fulfilled.

Breaking the kiss, I placed a kiss on her forehead and started to get out of the bath. Any more and the heat will start making us dizzy and the last thing I want is to fall asleep in a bathtub, that is how some people die and I don’t want to go out in that way. Ai followed me and got out of the bath too and we started wiping ourselves down with towels. Putting on our clothes for the night, we proceeded to brush our teeth. I need to buy more toothpaste.

We went to the bedroom and Ai was the first one to jump into the comfortable mattress. She tucked herself under the blanket and started sniffing it. This site did bring back memories.

"Ai, I am right here, why do you need a second-hand smell?" I said sitting on the bed.

"But your smell mixed with mine and the fresh blankets is something else," she justified and chuckled before getting under the blanket myself. As soon as I did, Ai stuck to my glue and rested her head on my chest. I caress her silky hair and kissed her forehead.

"Good night Kazu-kun," she said looking very tired. I thought she had more questions to ask but I think after all this sleeping on a familiar bed makes her sleepy instead. Not that I am complaining. It is quite a cute sight.

"Good night Ai," I said kissing her. "I love you."

"I love you too."

She snuggled up to me a little more and I hugged her gently caressing her back. I looked down at her and found herself sleeping already. It must have been really tiring for you Ai.

No need to worry now, I will never let anyone take you away from me again.
