Sakamae's mind was lost in paradise as he kissed Atsuko, his arms cradling her tenderly feeling her tremble. His fingers still slowly rubbing her back, inhaling deeply, a sudden shiver shooting through his spine feeling her nails graze his neck. Pressing closer against her. Feeling her winch and pull away his eyes shoot open with worry. Looking at her with concern "Are you ok". Moving his gaze down to her side, biting the inside of his lower lip as he saw the bruise.. "Wait right here.. I'll be right back" Sakamae quickly gets up and moves over to his closet, at first glance it mainly looked cluttered with boxes. Sakamae returns to the mattress bed with a red bag with a white plus sign on it. A first aid kit he always kept around in his room.

Atsuko stayed put her eyes watching him in pain as he moved tothe closet. She gently laid back, whimpering softly as she did. She waited paitiently for Sakamae to do or say something, ready for him to burst out in anger for ruining such a wonderful moment. "Im sorry..... I'm such a horrible person.... I ruined everything..." she whispered painfully tears begining to well in her eyes. "Im so stupid.... I shouldn't have done this to myself..." she choked softly as she stared up at the ceiling holding her side painfully.

Sakamae knelt beside the mattress, opening the bag and slowly pulling some items from it, placing them aside. Looking back at Atsuko and looking at her intently, lightly flicking her nose "None of that Atsuko" Looking into her eyes "You are not a horrible person. You're not stupid. You didn't ruin anything. And you dont need to apologise.. Now shuush" Sakamae slowly pulls Atsuko's hands from her side, slowly raising the shirt to expose her bruise more. He then picks up a small round container, opening and dipping his fingers in, before oh so gently rubbing the cool balm upon the bruise "This is a medicinal anespetic.. You may feel a bit numb in your side from it, but it will relieve the pain." He then picks up a large square bandage, applying another liqiud to it before placing it upon the bruise "The stuff on the bandage will help make the bruise go away faster"

Atsuko flinched as Sakamae flicked her nose. She blushed and then closed her eyes blinking back her tears. Slowly lifting her hands from her side she bit her lip preparing herself for pain. But none came. Only a cold chill shot up her spine making her shiver a bit from the balm. She loved the feel of Sakamae's sweet caring touch. It made her feel so loved and cared for. Something she had never felt before. She then nodded and slowly opened her eyes once again. She looked at him softly and reached out and cupped his cheek softly. "Thank you so much..." she whispered softly looking into his eyes her still a bit shiney with tears. "Your like my gaurdian angel..." she whispered softly and blushed lightly.

Sakamae gently rubbed the bandage, to make sure it was securely in place. Moving back to the first aid bag, placing the items neatly back into place. Zipping the bag up and placing it near the top corner of the mattress before turning back to Atsuko, slowly pulling her shirt back down "There you go. That should help" He smiled sweetly looking up at her face, suddenly blushing upon feeling her hand cup his cheek "You.. you don't.. need to thank me.. Atsuko" Trembling oh so lighlty by her touch "I'm glad to be of help" Sakamae blushes more hearing the last part.. not knowing what to say.. no one had ever called him a guardian.. or an angel before

Atsuko smiled softly and then kissed her hand and pressed it to his lips, her features suddenly drooping wth fatigue. "Yes you do... You deserve all the thanks in the world... You saved me... And you are still here watching over me..." she whispered softly and she closed her eyes weakly. "Youre a handsome and beauiful angel..." she whipsered and suddenly with a poof she turned into her dog form. "I'm sorry... I was up since yesterday because I was so excited to walk to school with you and because of my parents.... So... I'm kinda tired..." she whispered and yawned a squeeky yawn.

Sakamae blushes feeling Atsuko press her fingers to his lips, sending a shiver through his spine. Looking at her worriedly seeing her features become etched with fatigue. Suddenly startled as she poofs into her dog form without warning "Aww, It's ok Atsuko.. You should have mentioned this sooner. You need sleep" He pulls the blankets up and softly tucks Atsuko within the sheets, leaning forward to softly press his lips against the top of her furry little head "Now sshhh, just close your eyes and go to sleep"

Atsuko looked up at him with her big puppy eyes and then gave a small yipping yawn again. "I don't want to..." she whispered stubbornly. "I wanted to spend this time with you..." she whispered softly and then her eyes drifted closed on their own accourd.'unable to resist sleep she slowly fell into a void of rest and happieness.
((sorry short.))

"Aww" Sakamae couldn't help but smile watching Atsuko, moving his fingers to softly pet her back "We have plenty of time to spend together Atsuko, no ssh, sleep" Sakamae waits a few moments to make sure she was really asleep, fluffing up the blankets around her a bit to make her more comfortable. Sakamae then slowly curls up next to the mattress, his head resting on the sheets like a pillow, slowly closing his eyes and drifting to sleep. His mind still whirring with thoughts of the events that just happened, lulling him into a pleasantly peaceful slumber

((do you want sakamae to wake up finding her human again but the covers slipped down? Hehe I think that would be funny.))

(*blushes* Whichever way you choose ^_^)

((*smiles and nods* I thinkthat would be perfect. Hehe))

(*smiles* Ok ^_^ Then that way is fine. If you want, you can make it where she starts having a bad dream or something, and kicks the sheets down a bit, and the ruckus causes Sakamae to wake up)

((alright.))

Atsuko slept soundly for some time, her dreams nothing but happieness. Shethen began to have a bad dream, kicking and whimpering softly she kicked down the sheets, so they only covered from her waist down. She gave a small growl before Sakamae came to her and saved her in his dream. Sighing sleepily she slept on her back her lips curled in a soft smile as she dreamt on, feeling safe and warm.

Sakamae was deep in slumber, his thoughts dancing about like dreams within his sleep. Though his senses were active as ever, thanks to tough training sessions with Bairai, who taught him to keep his guard up at all times. Sensing kicking and whimpering coming from the bed, Sakamae's eyes shot open, calling out Atsuko's name as he moved his head up to look at her "Atsuko.. Are yo.. u.. o.. k" His words catching in his throat as he saw Atsuko laying there, the sheet having been pulled down far enough to expose her upper body.. His eyes widening as a blush spread throughout his body... Unable to speak.. barely able to move. his gaze transfixed on her.. his fingers grazing Atsuko's bare stomach as he reached for the blanket to recover her.

Atsuko sighed softly feeling Sakamae's warm touch. She slowly began to wake up, feeling so safe and warm right now. She blinked slowly and groggily sat up. She streched and rubbed her eyes cutely unaware of the fact that she didn't have any clothes on. The fact that she had fell asleep in dog form evaded her mind at the moment. Seeing Sakamae awake she smiled sleepily. "Im sorry... Did I wake you Sakamae?" she squeeked as she gave a yawn and smiled down at him softly.

Feeling Atsuko stir and start to sit up, Sakamae quickly pulls his hand away. His eyes widening more as he sees Atsuko sit fully up, wanting to close his eyes and curl up and hide, yet unable to move his gaze away from her. His body in shock, his mind mesmerized. His face glowing with a red blush. Trying desperately to speak, his voice coming out soft and stuttering "N. No.. It.. o.. ok.. Yo.. you were... hav.. having.. bad drea..m"

Atsuko looked at him curiously and opened her mouth to answer when she glanced down for a second. Turning beet red she grabbed the sheets and covered herself up and burried her face in the sheets horribly embarrassed. How could she over look the fact that she didn't have anything on?! Blushing she bit her lip hard. He had seen not only her chest but all the horrible scratches and bruises and burns upon her as well. She slowly peaked out from the sheets and squeeked before studdering,"O-o-oh m-m-my god...."

Sakamae was still in a trance even as Atsuko quickly hid under the covers. Managing to close his eyes and take a deep breath, trying to restart his mind. Slowly getting his voice under control "Its.. ok Atsuko" His mind managing to overlook the face that he just saw her topless, focusing more on her injuries.. "Sit and face the wall Atsuko" As he spoke, Sakamae went over and grabbed the first aid kit.

Atsuko looked at Sakamae and her heart fluttered. He was so sweet and kind to her. Obeying she nodded and turned her back to him. She gave a small shiver and then bit her lip. "Sakamae?..." she whispered and looked back at him. She then looked a the wall again and then closed her eyes. "Do you think I'm pretty?" she asked softly and hoped for the best when he answered.

Even though Sakamae's mind was focusing on the wounds upon Atsuko's body, his heart was still beating furiously within his chest, remembering the way her body looked. Tilting his head up, he speaks in a calm voice "No" managing to smile, he slowly raises a hand to softly pat Atsuko's head "I think your beautiful" He thens pulls out some items from the bag, beginning to gently rub a medicinal ointment onto Atsuko's back

Atsuko held her breath and she swore her heart shattered hearing him say no. She put a hand over her mouth and then gasped in surprise and blushed deeply. Beautiful? Beautiful! He though she was beautiful! She nearly jumped for joy had she not been shivering from the ointment. She then bit her lip and giggled happily. "Youre the first person to ever call me beautiful Sakamae..." she whispered and closed her eyes enjoying his touch.

Sakamae gently massaged the ointment onto Atsuko's back, keeping his touch gently, as to not irritate the injuries. Blushing and smiling hearing her "Well you are beautiful Atsuko" He nods his head, motioning for her to turn around, so that he may apply the ointment to her sides and stomach "May.. you.. turn around" his blush growing

Atsuko smiled and then purred softly as he massaged her back with his touch. She enjoyed every second of his warm and gentle loving touch. She then blushed a slighlty deeper shade of rosey pink and bit her lip. "Thank you...." she whispered softly and then slowly opened her eyes and nodded biting her lip a little harder. "Sure..." she whispered and let go of the blankets and sheets to reveal herself fully to him again. She blushed red and clasped her hands in her lap trying not to tremble.

Sakamae's gaze moved along Atsuko's back, making sure each injury was adequately covered with ointment, shaking his head softly "There's no need to thank me. It's the truth" As Atsuko turned around, Sakamae's eyes widen once more, blushing and trembling.. She did truly look beautiful. biting at his lower lip, quickly averting his eyes to Atsuko's stomach, quickly moving his hands to gently massage the ointment against her waist and stomach.
