> 077 - feisty at forty

[foxy_physician]

First, a curse that changes the way we speak. All those cats and dogs and badgers! Next, one that changes our entire persons based on decisions made in the past. Now, a curse that changes our ageI wonder how many more facets of our being will be altered within the next few days

Megumi?

I see we have both been brought back to the City again... but on a curse day, is it? I don't think I am affected... but if you're in your early fourties, then surely you aren't either?

[foxy_physician]

[Megumi raises her eyebrows, smiling fondly at her husband before taking his hands in hers.]

Ah, anata . . . So you are my forty-year-old husband in mind as well as in body today?

[A little giggle, and she raises a hand to cup his face.]

Mmm, this is nice, isn't it? I bet you are just as virile as ever~!

[A rise onto tiptoes for a nuzzling kiss.]

[silk_in_ebony]

[He flushes a little, shaking his head a little after she kisses him.]

In mind and body? No, I'm not cursed, love. Just drawn back into the City after all these years. You too, though you don't seem to realise it...

[A small smile, and a sigh.]

I hope the rule that you go back to your world at the same time as you left it will hold true this time, else our children will get very worried...

[foxy_physician]

Ah, but anata, I was twenty-two and you were twenty-five just yesterday . . .

[But she just smiles up at Mitsuhide, not bothering to debate about it. The curse will eventually run its course.]

But never mind. We shall revert back to normal soon.

[At the mention of "children," Megumi lights up visibly, a radiant smile coming to her lips and reflecting in her eyes.]

Our children? We have children, Mitsuhide? Oh, that's wonderful! How many? And do we have a little boy who looks just like you~? ♥

[silk_in_ebony]

[He gives her a slightly confused look, but drops it for now. Perhaps the curse has affected her mind a little.]

As we shall, and you will remember, hmm?

[A chuckle.]

Three. Mitsuharu, whom you always says looks like me, Shina, and Mitushirou.

[foxy_physician]

Oh, Mitsuhide, that's amazing!

[She giggles, wrapping her arms around his shoulders and snuggling close.]

Three, just like we said we would have! ♥ And they all have such beautiful names . . . Who named them? And do they all have your breathtaking gray eyes?

[She gives him a wink.]

And where do we live? You said we were brought back to the City "again," so we must live someplace else!

[silk_in_ebony]

[This is all so strange, telling her things she knows! The City is certainly very mysterious.]

Well... I named 'Haru and Shina, you named 'Shirou. They do all have grey eyes, though Shina mostly looks like you.

[A pause, as he looks at her curiously.]

Aizu, of course.

[foxy_physician]

[She listens attentively, her eyes aglow.]

Oh, I want to ask how they all are, but I want to be surprised . . . Oh, Mitsuhide, this is all so wonderful!

[Another happy laugh.]

She looks just like me, mmm? Does she have the "fox ears" too, as you say I do?

[When he mentions Aizu, her eyes widen, and she gasps, letting out a little trill of surprise.]

Aizu! Oh, Mitsuhide!

[And, without words, she launches herself into his arms, embracing him tightly and kissing him passionately.]

You found me! ♥ Mitsuhide!

[More kisses! ♥]

[silk_in_ebony]

[Mitsuhide gives a little, shocked gasp. Well, if she really can't remember, then perhaps this reaction is to be expected. For him, or so his memories say, it was a long, long time ago that he found her.]

Ah, yes, of course. You knew I would, right?

[He doesn't get much room to talk, though. She is too busy kissing him!]

[foxy_physician]

Yes, I knew you would! You found me! ♥

[Amidst her kisses is happy laughter, and she snuggles in his arms, kissing and laughing and cuddling all at once.]

Mitsuhide, everything will be alright! ♥ More than alright! Wonderful, glorious! Just as I knew it would be!

[It is a poignant comfort and a joy to know that he will find her, and they'll continue their life in love and happiness, and tears come to her eyes. Especially after everything they'd been through as of late, this news has lifted her spirits and given her hope and joy.]

Mitsuhide~! ♥

[Wiping her tears away, she laughs, once again giving him a flurry of kisses.]

[silk_in_ebony]

I... yes, of course. As you knew, and wanted, my love. ♥

[An amused chuckle. He never thought he'd experience her joy at such a thing again. After her flurry of kisses, he steps back and places his hands on her shoulders.]

It doesn't seem like much time has passed here...

[A smile.]

Am I still a member of the police force?

[foxy_physician]

[She nods tremulously, overwhelmed with joy. She smiles up at him, gently nuzzling his wrist.]

No, not much . . . just a day . . .

[Laughing softly, she takes his hands in hers and kisses them softly.]

Yes, I believe so!

[silk_in_ebony]

[A nod, and a soft smile. He flicks back his hair; it is still ebony black, but now woven with silver hairs as well.]

I should probably patrol, then.

[A nod.]

[foxy_physician]

[She laughs softly, cupping his face.]

Alright, anata.

[He still has a strong sense of duty. She smiles fondly. That will never change about him, and oh, how she loves him.]

I hope you'll be home early, though~?

[She raises her eyebrow at him, giving him a seductive, inviting look that still looks no different from how she does it at twenty-two.]

[silk_in_ebony]

[He chuckles fondly. Megumi is Megumi; the years have not changed her one bit.]

We'll see. I'm sure I will be with the right incentive.

[A laugh.]

Such a bad influence, Megumi!

[foxy_physician]

[She presses closer, peering up at him with half-lidded, warm eyes.]

Oh, how about . . . a romantic dinner . . . after which I'll tend to your every~ desire~? ♥

[A nuzzle to his neck.]

And we don't have to be careful of our children hearing us make love, perhaps? ♥

[Another soft giggle.]
