Alternate Future: Working Hard..or Hardly Working
"What!? No I..no..you tell Lord Yukimura that I said..he said what!? Alright! Set up a meeting, I'll tell him myself! What? No!" Keiji was getting fed up. "You tell Lord Yukimura that if I find out he has anything to do with this slave trade and I will personally cut out his heart! Do you hear me!? Good." Keiji angrily hangs up the phone and plops his head down on his desk in annoyance.

	"A vow I'm very glad has outlived its usefulness, Lover." Amiko shrugs. "It can be enjoyable enough, if done very, very carefully. Some women find it interesting, in its way. And of course, some women just don't wish to say No." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Well that's..good. That he was careful I mean. " Keiji was really hoping he hadn't sounded jealous. He knew such a liason was well in the past and he knew that he and Amiko were exclusive. It was just hearing about a past lover made him a little..ok, he was jealous. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	She laughs a little. "Yes, Lover. You are." And her hot little hands caress his shoulders for a while. "But if it helps, Keiji... while I cared deeply for those boys..." She leans in and whispers, warm against his ear. "...I love you more." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Keiji smiled at that. "And I love you, Amiko." Before he realizes it the words are leaving his lips: "Why do you love me? What was it you saw in me?" He was genuinely curious. All his life he considered himself a shell of a human being and it was difficult for him to comprehend sometimes what Amiko saw in him. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Keiji flinches a little at Amiko's bluntness. After a moment though he nods his head. "I wasn't really trying to get by though. I just..I just wanted it to be over. The grudges, the obligations, all of it. I was ready to die if need be to end it all forever." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Amiko just holds him tighter, her skin near-burning. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	He took note of her sudden burst of heat. He wasn't entirely familiar with how her powers worked. "Are you alright, Amiko?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Fine, Lover. Just...." She holds him even tighter, fingers running along the scars on his hands. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

He feels her fingers trace the scars of his own, a consequence of his claws. Quite frankly, the scars were hideous. Before Amiko, he never really cared about it. Now that she was in his life, he was a lot more self-conscious as he instintively closed his hands into fist, hiding his fingers from view. However, he did not want her to think he was withdrawing from her. "Just what?"

	Amiko starts to pry his hand open and kisses his fingers. "Just that you're so sweet." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Reluctantly he allows her to pull his fingers back into view. As a result of his claw manipulation not were the tips covered in scars, but they were also in a constant state of pain. He had long since trained himself to ignore the bulk of it, they still stung. "Amiko..you shouldn't have to look at those." He wouldn't outright deny her, but he wasn't exactly comfortable either. "You really believe that?"

	"Three out of four of my parental figures didn't raise me to lie," Amiko says, still kissing his fingertips gently. "Of course, sometimes you're also an utter fool. My sweet, sweet fool..." She takes his fingers into her mouth a little more. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Keiji was a little annoyed by that. "I admit I know little practical knowledge of the world outside of my original quest, though I do not think that qualifies me as a fool.." Okay, his pride's a little bruised. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I realize I'm lucky I got a real education and not indoctrination, Lover. But the things you used to do... they were foolish. I won't pretend otherwise." She smiles. "Doesn't that mean you can believe me when I say you're brilliant, which you often are?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Keiji closes his eyes for a moment..and finally nods. "Nor would I ask you to do so." Keiji chuckles a bit. "I wouldn't go far as to say brilliant. Inspired perhaps, but not brilliant." He turns back to her. "I think a part of me has always believed you, even before you showed me proof that your father was not responsible. But as you said, when you're taught to believe something your whole life..I didn't want to believe that my life was meaningless."

	"That's because it isn't. You're properly entrenched in this den of vipers, and so you can save people from it. Also, you get to frequently make love with a government agent now." she smirks. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
