Ninth Brush Stroke [Voice/Video]

[motherofthesun]

[A gentle breeze in the Underground Garden rustles the Sakura Tree, making the branches sway. It's blooming back into its radient form that had disappeared after the Flower Festival. She touches the Guide, turning on the audio]

Fai, Ran, Shin... everyone...

[There's a pause and the Audio turns to Video. She appears to be sitting lounging in the tree

[Action like a motherfucker!]

[feistyflowright]

[Fai was already in the garden when he heard this voice. The moment he heard it, he ran as fast as his legs could carry him to the Sakura tree.]

[His eyes land upon her figure and he can't stop the tears from welling up. He steps over to her, slowly reaching out for her. Once close enough, he touches her shoulder, wondering if she was real.]

...A...Amaterasu...?

[Action]

[motherofthesun]

[Of course Fai would be here... She calmly looks at him and nods, frowning a bit. Tears?]

I said I would return after some recuperation.

[Action]

[feistyflowright]

[He rushed forward, pulling her into his arms. He held her tightly, afraid that if he were to let go, she'd disappear again.]

You idiot... you idiot...

[Action]

[motherofthesun]

[She doesn't hesitate to hug him back and remains silent. Her ears twitch as he speaks and then flatten against her head.]

Why do you always do everything alone...

Re: [Action]

[motherofthesun]

It was always like that... always at home. I'm sorry.

Re: [Action]

[feistyflowright]

...Just shut up...

[He pulls back and without hesitation, links his lips with hers, pressing her against the Sakura tree as he does so.]

Re: [Action]

[motherofthesun]

..!!

[A bit forceful, but she ignores it mostly as she kisses him back.]

Re: [Action]

[feistyflowright]

[He fell down upon her, as he kissed her. Holding her close, he deepened the kiss, placing a hand softly on her cheek. Those last few days had felt like an eternity without her...]

Re: [Action]

[motherofthesun]

[Well, that was a little startling. She continued kissing him for a few more seconds before parting with a small breath]

Fai...

Re: [Action]

[feistyflowright]

[When she pulled back, he simply rested his forehead against hers, their eyes meeting.]

...Amaterasu...

Re: [Action]

[motherofthesun]

[She nuzzles him gently, gazing up at him]

It was quite lonely in the sun...

Re: [Action]

[feistyflowright]

[He strokes her cheeks softly with the back of his hand, resting beside her, yet still holding tightly.]

It was quite lonely in the dark here...

Re: [Action]

[motherofthesun]

[She moves with his hand, but then nuzzles against him as he lays beside her]

No more darkness... [She places a hand on his chest]

Re: [Action]

[feistyflowright]

[He tilts his head, pressing it against hers as he grows closer.]

Don't leave again...

Re: [Action]

[motherofthesun]

[She starts turning a bit pink.]

As long as you remain, I will not...
