Defy Not The Heart Chapter 13 “Unwanted Truth”
Chapter 13 “Unwanted Truth” Kyoko and Suki stood silently staring as Shinbe fell over Toya’s prone form as if doing so in slow motion. The quiet that was left behind was deafening. Neither spoke a word as they made it the last few feet to where the guys lay. Kyoko was the first to reach them. She quickly bent down, gently pushing Shinbe off of Toya. The guys were both so still. It was hard to tell if they were breathing. Her gaze trailed over Toya seeing the softness within his face. She quickly looked down at his fingers and confirmed the sharpness of his nails was gone.“Toya! Oh god! Suki, help me!” Toya had changed. She’d never seen it happen before but Toya had once warned her of the possibility. He’d told her if it ever happened that she should seek out the protection of one of the others because he wouldn’t be able to protect her. The battle between him and Shinbe had left them both injured. Suki stood, unable to move, staring down at the fallen men. “Are they a
Defy Not The Heart Chapter 14 “Rainy Day Kisses”
Chapter 14 “Rainy Day Kisses” The new morning brought with it a raging storm. Toya sought out a cave as the others made their way across the sodden ground. “Come on. Hurry up,” Toya grabbed Kyoko’s backpack from her, and hurried off in the direction he’d come from. They grumpily followed him toward an outcropping of rock, and into the semi-dryness of the cave he found. It was small and smelled of mildew, but once a fire was raging at the entrance, they all began to feel better as they dried off. They waited the storm out mostly in silence, with everyone shooting hidden glances at each other. It was really grating on Kyoko’s nerves until she got bored and decided to teach them how to play cards. They were finished playing when Toya and Shinbe got into a staring match after the last game, which happened to be slapjack. Toya obviously didn’t like being the loser. Shinbe held his hand out while Kyoko bandaged the claw wounds from Toya, where he had slapped too fast and cau
Defy Not The Heart Chapter 15 “Desperate”
Chapter 15 “Desperate” Hyakuhei stood tall as his miasma field surrounded him like a dark cloud. Toya could see this fight was between Shinbe and Hyakuhei, for some reason. By Shinbe making such a threat as to use the void, only lent evidence to this fact. It was as if Hyakuhei was holding something over Shinbe’s head. Toya tensed, knowing Hyakuhei knew the secret Shinbe kept hidden from them. “Shinbe, what the hell are you doing?” Toya demanded, seeing the danger in using the curse. He knew if Shinbe used the void, he would risk it growing stronger and becoming out of control. It wasn’t worth it. Confusion showed in his expression as he watched Shinbe. Kyoko wondered why Shinbe would do this. “Shinbe, don’t!” she felt his muscles flex. “Please,” she begged even as she watched in morbid fascination. Her eyes were fixed, getting the same view Shinbe must see every time he used the cursed void as the air began to spin… coming to life. The dirt and rocks shifted and becam
Defy Not The Heart Chapter 16 “Flame of Jealousy”
Chapter 16 “Flame of Jealousy” Kyoko watched worriedly as Shinbe lay on the mat, still unable to wake up. His brow had broken out in a sheen of sweat, causing drops to trail down his temples. At least he seemed calmer now. She watched the shadows play across his face as she dabbed at the moisture with a clean rag. Trying to keep fear at bay, she ranted quietly, "Once he does wake up, I'm going to knock him out again for being dumb enough to use the cursed void knowing what it would do to him.” Kyoko sniffed. She sat back against the wall to look out the window at the night sky. Shinbe found himself again near the shrine. The sky was blue and from the brightness he could tell it must have been midday. He was standing there, leaning against a stone with his elbows propped on the rim with his chin resting in his hand as he stared at the maiden statue. He knew she was on the other side, far away, in some other dimension. Yep, that's about as far away as she could get. To q
Defy Not The Heart Chapter 17 “Defy Not the Heart”
Chapter 17 “Defy Not the Heart” Toya cursed violently as he ran through the forest following Kyoko’s scent. The second the Taming spell had allowed him movement, he was up and after her like a shot. She couldn’t just run off with that lecherous guardian whenever she wanted and leave him behind. He gritted his teeth the moment he truly realized what had just happened. HIS Kyoko was alone with the LETCH! Golden eyes flashed silver at the thought. There was no way in hell his brother was going to lay a hand on her, and if he did, Shinbe would never have any children… ever. All of a sudden Kyoko’s scent changed and he slowed to a stop as he tentatively sniffed the air. Taking a few steps forward, the smell abruptly spiked and he was surrounded by the heavenly scent of her arousal. A menacing growl vibrated within his chest as he picked up Shinbe’s scent laced with hers. Two more steps and his body shot through the air like a silver bullet. He could smell the guardian’s arousa
Defy Not The Heart Chapter 18 “Lightning and Thunder”
Chapter 18 “Lightning and Thunder” Kyoko stepped onto the wooden floor of the shrine house and looked around feeling a difference in the air. “What is that noise?” she listened worriedly then realized it was sheets of rain hitting the sides of the shrine house. The wind howled. “Uh-oh,” she couldn’t help it when her body flinched at the sound. “Hate storms… rather… demons…” Kyoko mumbled incoherently. She was half way up the stairs but froze in mid-motion as lightning flashed, illuminating the room. A crash of thunder immediately followed, shaking the old walls. Shinbe stabilized in her world just as the thunder clapped. ‘What the…’ He glanced up and suddenly knew what heaven looked like. Now that was a sight worth its weight in gold. His gaze traveled up the shapely leg, to the pair of silky, snow-white panties. With her other leg arched up in the air… and to his delight, she seemed to be frozen in that very position. Without looking away from the… prettiest pictur
Defy Not The Heart Chapter 19 _Always Darkest Before the Storm_
Chapter 19 "Always Darkest Before the Storm" Kotaro stepped to the mouth of the cave he’d slept in. He could sense evil in the distance… Hyakuhei was on the move. "So, you have finally come out of hiding, have you." His ice blue eyes narrowed with deadly intent and the muscles in his jaw flexed. He felt the guardian heart crystal calling to him and he could feel the talismans he’d collected since it had been shattered heighten in power, as if answering that call. Toki and Hoto stood in the shadows of the cave watching their leader as he looked out in the distance. Hoto ran a nervous hand through his hair, knowing Kotaro was going to leave them. He understood their master had avoided his guardian brothers but the priestess was never far from his thoughts. Leaning close to Toki so Kotaro wouldn't overhear, he whispered worriedly, "Should we not follow him?" The last rumor Kotaro had heard, less than an hour ago, was that Hyakuhei had found the remaining talismans. That left
Defy Not The Heart Chapter 20 “Heartbeats and Cruel Smiles”
Chapter 20 “Heartbeats and Cruel Smiles” Hyakuhei’s long midnight hair caressed the wind as he flew high above the night-shrouded ground, wrapped in the protection of his miasma. Tonight his little game would come to a conclusion and he would claim his prize. Of course, he would indulge in a little entertainment first. What is the joy of destroying one’s enemies after all, without letting hope flood their faces before you crush their soul. A cruel smile played across his perfect lips as he pictured the final scene. Misery would reflect off of their faces… misery and pain. He would bask in the gloom of their torment. They would all die, save for the priestess. The priestess was his prize, and her anguish would bring him the utmost pleasure. He would make sure she had a clear view of the board as he crushed her guardian’s, one by one. Each would desperately fight in his game, fight for her and die for her. Each death would bear down on her heart, smothering her with guilt a
