Welcome to Gaia! ::

Naruto sighs in real happiness, just letting himself lie there, Rikku kissing him and all was right in his world. No demons in him to worry about, no 'brothers', no nothing, just the two of them. But that comes crashing down when his ear is suddenly pecked and he yelps, reaching for his ear.

Rikku yipped in surprise at the ninja's cry. "Dreav!" She scolded, for the first time upset with her lil'wing. He had brought her out of a very happy place & she was not amused."You don't have to peck for our attention, especially when it's quiet! Just hum!"

Dreav hummed unhappily, not liking to have Rikku mad with him -what if she withheld shinies?- and yet... he did not like the ninja. All his tolerance had been used up seeing, well, we won't go in to what he saw.

Blinking bright red eyes he fluttered to Rikku's hand, nuzzling her thumb.

She smiled faintly then, rubbing the top of his head with her finger. "Awww. I know you're used to having me to yourself, but I wanna sleep with Ruto. Please leave us alone, Dreav?" Rikku kissed his head; she really did not want to threaten him with having to lock the door to his cage.

Crooning softly in apology for upsetting her Dreav flew back to his cage, pushing a button that dropped a cloth overtop once he was inside. He did not deign to look at the shinobi.

Able to focus all her attention back on Naruto she rolled him onto his back. Straddling his stomach with her knees on the bed on either side of him Rikku leaned over him, making over him softly as she began gently ministering Naruto's ear. "Your poor ear! I'll kiss it better!"

She started to make good her words and then some: Kissing, licking, nibbling. A purr rumbled through her body. "I was thinking we should go to sleep... but I think you need to be relaxed first." Her voice just bordered on sultry and her tail swished back & forth over everything between Naruto's stomach & knees with a feather-light touch.

Rikku smiled as Naruto took charge, secretly pleased her advances had worked.

Purring, Rikku shivers slightly under the patterns drawn on her back. She can barely keep her eyes open & is just about to suggest that they move to get under the covers when she notices the state of her bed. Rikku did not remember pushing the covers & top sheet aside but they must have.

She kisses Naruto's chin lightly, shifting only enough to reach the edge of the blanket & pull it over them. Covered, Rikku nuzzles the underside of Naruto's chin. "You've certainly kept your promise 'bout making my legs jelly tonight." She teased lightly. "But I've been longing for this too."

Snuggling her body to his she purred then tilted her mouth up for a kiss. A kiss for sleeping. She strokes the short blonde hairs by his ear tenderly as she breaks the kiss, smiling lovingly into his eyes. "Let's sleep now."

That was how she had intended the promise when it was made as well, but Rikku could not deny the jelly state of her legs now. "mmmm... Love you too, Naruto. My sweet little ninja." And cuddling into him under the covers she drifted easily to sleep.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Sunlight streamed on them from the skylight Rikku had forgotten to close all the Stretching sublimely Rikku smiled with a shiver as the covers fell from her bare body. Her smile only widened as she remembered the night. Turning, she leaned down to wake her sleeping companion with a kiss. "Morning, Handsome. Sleep well?"

Rikku's nose crinkled in a cute was as she smiled, watching him. "You know, you're adorable when you first get up."

Then she giggled, leaning towards him to kiss his cheek. "But then I think you're adorable all the time." Finding the two parts of her usual sleeping attire which she had not managed to sleep in Rikku slipped them on. Then she swung her legs over the side of the bed, standing up & stretching fully. She turned a sweet but slightly coy smile on Naruto. "C'mon. I bet you're hungry. Let's go to the kitchen & I'll fix you up something to eat."

Naruto was a little lucky -with Relm over at Moochi's while she & Keme were sick there was less order than normal of a morning in the mane room. Of course, their resident cook, Ginny, was also gone so breakfast was more of a free-for-all today.

There was not many in the main room that morning. The housecats & other sleepers were probably back in Trelweny's room soaking up the morning sun through her east facing window. A puff of smoke billowing from underneath the door the lovers just left implied that the Weasley twins were probably hard at work on yet another new item.

Smiling, Rikku took the ninja's hand & walked dangerously close beside him as they crossed the room to enter the kitchen. AearHwesta's booming voice could be heard, telling a new tale he had heard by the docks. The seraphim kits voice could be heard asking questions for details. Green eyes bright, Rikku led him inside.

"Morning guys!" She called merrily. Liliana mewed softly coming over to weave between the Al Bhed's legs. "What's left to make?"

Aiden turned from the counter where he had been pooring a cup of Scottish Holiday Nog Tea into a mug. "Nearly everything." Golden eyes looked at her pointedly. "You missed the news." "What news?"

But he did not get a chance to answer. The blue & white angelic kitsu had stared at the pair as they entered, russet eyes dancing as he took on their rumpled appearance & closeness. He laughed full & deep. "HAHAHA! They've had their on night o' it, I'd wager, Aiden-lad." He winked knowingly at the ninja. "I trust ye pleasured her well lad?" "AearHwesta..." The Highland fae warned icily before turning his gaze to Naruto's. "Naruto..." He said softly, the name alone both a greeting and a "you had better not hurt my little sister" all at once. Lil'Soot, oblivious to such things yipped for another sausage.

Rikku stared, gaping at her brothers.

The angelic humphed. "Look, Mate, don't play like ye're not interested too. I just want to see that our lovely Rikku enjoyed herself." Aiden shot him a look just as Rikku regained herself. She practically flounced in (easy to do in her sleeping teddy) pulling Naruto along with her to the fridge. "I did." She scoffed at Aear, trying to ignore his whoots of congratulations to Naruto as he clouted the shinobi on the back and both the "I really didn't need to know that" look Aiden gave her as well as his deep blush as she opened the fridge. "I know you prefer ramen, 'Ruto, but around here breakfast means breakfast foods." Pulling out eggs, toast, milk & juice she set them on the counter. She bent down to pet Liliana as she shut the fridge. "But if you're still hungry I'll make you a bowl or two after."
