NOTES:
It's late here, but I'll share my thoughts on this chapter briefly.
There are a lot of spoilers for the series and a bit of stuff I tried to cleverly add in. Specifically, I put Kaname on birth control. Mainly, I didn't want to write about them worrying about condoms or finding a way to have Kaname on the pill for the later chapters. I figured it might not be totally out of reach to have Kaname's kidnappers offer her birth control. As I wrote, when she was under Sophia's control, she nearly did give in and sleep with Leonard. However, the Kaname that was deep down was able to wrest control of herself away just enough to stop it.
So given the possibility that two beautiful teenagers might actually, you know, go at it, Amalgam might have just gone ahead and given Kaname a no-muss, no-fuss birth control option.
Another thing I wanted to confront was the awful way that Sousuke "greeted" Kaname on their reunion. He was angry at Sophia/Kaname and he definitely let it show. And the language he used at her is actually what snapped Kaname back into control at the end. There was just no way she would endure that kind of talk from Sousuke, which I'm sure he anticipated and used to his benefit. It was terrible, as a shipper, to read what he said (calling her a bitch, for example) when they were finally reunited after so much time apart. But it wasn't really Kaname he was talking to. Or it was, but he did it so that Kaname would fight him and fight for him.
And finally, I wanted a nearly naked scene where Sousuke really looks at Kaname. His eyes are so intense and his demeanor so serious that I could imagine Kaname just combusting under his scrutiny. It's just that sexy. I'm ratcheting up the sexiness to actually earn my M rating on ff.net.
Hmm. I think that's all I have the energy to write tonight. Happy reading!
