~Waves~ (Eurydice/Invite)

[Kazuya Hikari]

Feeling his left wrist being touched, Kazuya's eyes would momentarily flare in surprise, not from being touched, but from a sudden excitement, giving him a more pleasurable sensation... and he had no idea how or why. Taking in a good, deep breathe, he would be pulled underwater, and after feeling his wrist being released, would follow after Eurydice, easily keeping up with her as they descended deeper and deeper.

Seeing her raise her arm up and place it on something, to make it easier on himself, and her, sliding his hand over his face, like he was pulling a mask on, a white mask would appear on his face, restoring his sight, but only temporarily. Ducking down through the hole, he would slither his way through the tunnel and emerge out through the other end and surface after her, his back facing her. Raising his head up, he would look in awe at the cave, her description matching exactly what the cave looked like.

"It IS beautiful... It's almost mesmerizing. I kind of... wish I could stay here forever..."

[Eurydice Sudeki]

"Yeah it i- wait what?"

I mean I'm sure I described it pretty decent but he spoke like he was actually physically seeing it. But how? Wait a minute. That night with the creature. That black goo everyone that came in contact with it was effected. They received some sort of mask. Well except for himself I for some reason seemed unaffected by the whole thing. The mask, his mask I remember him saying he could see.

.::Eury had stopped floating, her legs going back under the water. She lightly swam or more like glided from behind his back to his right. Doing so took her out of the little bit of sunlight that shined into the cavern. Now it was the blue hue of the water that shined below her face, that gave her a little glow. Hazel green orbs stared at him seeing that mask on his face. She blinked innocently and yet was still very much intrigued with the mask as she was the first time::.

I wonder what other properties it retains, or the others rather. What did the other's do as well? I do wish to ask, but do I really want to turn this into some serious moment? I was just having so much fun and even he was enjoying himself. Seemed like it's been a long time for us both huh? Let's not waste that on my inquires. Wow, I'm actually resisting that urge of wanting to know? I'm getting better at it then. Only took like a thousand years.

.::Before saying anything, she would lower her body into the water only up till just past the point of her nose, where only her eyes up were above the water. Again the blue hue more on her face as she looked at him, her eyes seeming a little devious in nature. Little did he know she took some water into her mouth when she initially dipped down. With no words she just waited wanting to to continuously wonder why she looked at him the way she did. If and when he spoke he would end up getting cut off as her lips resurfaced from the water in a pucker. Water immediately aiming for his face or rather now covered with a mask::.

"Hmm"

.::Was the only sound she'd make as she evilly dipped all the way into the water, once under she would push back a little to give some distance in his retaliation::.

[Kazuya Hikari]

Glancing over to his right from the corner of his eye as Eurydice appeared in his peripheral vision, she would be able to see Kazuya's eyes, though still pupil-less, through the eye slits of the mask as he made direct eye contact with her, his gun metal gray eyes looking into her hazel green eyes. Beneath his mask, he would raise an eyebrow seeing her lower her body down into the water, her eyes dancing with mischievousness the only visible part of her.

Just as he started to open his mouth to speak, he would end up with a face full of water, or rather, some of the water would spray into his eyes, bouncing off the mask he wore.

"..."

Blinking once and saying absolutely nothing, instead, he would simply stare at Eurydice, no sign of retaliation eminent... until he would send a splash her way, though it would only serve as a distraction. He would quickly dive down underneath the water and swimming towards her, she would feel both her wrists being taken hold of, before she would be yanked down below the water. Though she would not be able to see the wry smile on his face, his eyes would be more than enough to convey his sense of playfulness and mischievousness, as he would continue to hold onto her wrists, noticing the tattoo on her stomach, while likewise, she would notice the tattoo on his chest, as well as the various scars covering his upper body.

[Eurydice Sudeki]

.::Before she got her head completely under the water he did indeed managed to distract her with that splash making her shake her head to clear her vision, till suddenly she felt her wrist grabbed and began being pulled downwards. The way he tugged her down caused her body to more or less invert itself. Instead of going down feet first, she was going down head first. Sometimes everything that needed to be said was in the eyes, speech wasn't always necessary::.

Slick bastard.. Hahaha.. Huh I didn't notice before, nice tat. Weird that I didn't though. Meh still whatever. Let's play hmm

.::Her hands clasped around his wrist as she controlled her body so to pull her legs forward, hands pulling him in just a bit that she placed her feet on his chest in an attempt to kick off him. Or rather more or less push off him. If she managed to succeed she'd try to swim. Yet the danger of what she did was putting her feet in his arms reach so she might not be able to get away after all. The odds looked less in her favor, but it wasn't a competition it was fun. And one of those odd few times that the struggle could be just as fun::./div]

[Kazuya Hikari]

Feeling himself being pulled in towards Eurydice as her hands clasped around his wrists, he would immediately release her wrists as she placed her feet up against his chest, however he would instead try to wrap his arms around her, to prevent her from getting away, effectively holding her in a bear hug of sorts, not to mention holding her up against him if she placed her legs back down.

A glint of deviousness visible in his eyes, he would continue to hold onto her, his face mere inches away from hers.

[Eurydice Sudeki]

I knew it. I knew that wouldn't work in my favor at all. But this was a little unexpected result.

.::Instead of being able to push away she was countered by a bear hug which momentarily had her chest squishing into her knees. Certainly most unpleasant, so naturally her legs loosened, straightening themselves. Her hands placed on his chest more::.

Back here again huh?

.::She wasn't falling so he wasn't catching her. After all how to do you fall while underwater? There was a way if you were unconscious just floating down, but this wasn't the case. With her wearing a sports bra if his hands were touching her back he could feel the outlining of her wolf tat that went from the middle of her back to the lower half. Then there was the constant heat that emulated from his body, being that close wasn't helping. Especially with the cooling feeling of the water and then the heating::.

Give a girl a break with the body heating thing.

.::Obviously it was making her feel a certain way needing not to be explained. She was fighting the urge that was rising in her body for more ways than one. Yet there was something that was saying 'who cares'. Again unknowingly the same ability kicked it, potentially slowly washing into him. His devious gaze was returned with her own as her right hand slid down his chest, once it reached his side she would begin the good ol tickle attack in hopes that he was indeed tickleish. If so, again another moment she might get to flee if she could get away. She could hold her breath for a decent about of time, but still she kinda was in need of some air for other reasons::.

[Kazuya Hikari]

Kazuya's hands were in fact, not touching Eurydice's back, as he was holding her in a bear hug, not a regular hug. Which meant his arms were wound snugly, but not tightly, around her. Feeling her right hand slide down his chest, sending a slight shiver through him, unfortunately for her, he was not ticklish at his ribs. He was only ticklish at one spot, and it was not so easily reached.

His eyes conveying another wry smile at her, she wasn't the only one that needed air, as he would beginning kicking, powering the both of them through the water and back up to the top, breaking through the surface of the water moments later. Of course, it still meant Kazuya had his arms wrapped around her, essentially he was holding her up in the air, slightly above him.

"... This feels a little familiar..."

[Eurydice Sudeki]

.::Under the water during her failed attempt a playful, comical frown crossed her pretty face::.

I'm just batting a thousand here today aren't I? Heh, damn I've never had that many failed attempts since I was young just starting my training. Actually this setting itself was an interesting one now that I'm thinking about it. Back in New York what was his name? Veyugan, yea him. First time I met him we were in the school pool. Well one thing led to another and I don't need to say the rest. I had my wildish ways then. Who'd knew I'd calm down a bit? Just a bit. Or is it more or less just repressed?

.::Pressed against him she let him take them to the top, not like she had too much of a choice she wasn't letting go clearly::.

I kinda just realized how strong he really is. Some strong arms he has, firm grip too. Damn it and the heat. Being against him and.. I need to move away from a bit.

.::But did she really want to? Yes for the logical reasons, yet there was a big no as well. And a voice telling her 'who cares'. 'Why bother caring?' Then suddenly they were at the surface, though she was a bit more above him his head as he held her up more. Her hands were placed on his chest and shoulders though more towards the inside of his body, closer to his neck. She looked down at more in a blinking manner after his words, her voice coming out smooth and calm, yet a odd moment of hesitation::.

"More.. than you know"

Does he know? I mean does he know who I am? Namesake wise, of course he doesn't exactly know me. But still does he and not care? Cause it seems like he doesn't care. I can't even read him! That's frustrating. What is he thinking about?! I don't even know. I mean do I even care? Everything till this point has been so much fun. It's made me feel alive again. Rejuvenated. Heheh almost like a teenager. Actually making me forget about so much that was bothering me. Actually you know what I really don't have a care in the world right now

"I wasn't falling this time, so what tragedy and I'm being saved from now?"

.::She said with a sly smirk returning as the blue hue of the water danced around cavern. Eyes looking towards the silts of his mask::.

[Kazuya Hikari]

Oh Kazuya knew that Eurydice was The Lightning Dragon himself, Leon Sudeki's, wife, having asked Raikotsu who she was in the aftermath of the battle against the creature he had obtained his mask from, and he had heard about what happened between Aryn and Leon, but as to whether he cared, few could say they could see what Kazuya was thinking, even fewer could say they knew what he was thinking.

"... The tragedy of bottling up everything frustrating you inside until it's ready to explode."

Shifting his arms so he was simply holding her, his hands held up against her back, feeling the outline of her tattoo, as opposed to wrapped snugly around her, his eyes would crinkle through the slits of his mask, his smirk hidden beneath his mask. Just like Eurydice, right now Kazuya didn't have a care in the world.

"Are you still frustrated now...?"

[Eurydice Sudeki]

.::Did he just go there?! Oh he went there! And shock the hell out of the brunette before him. That was not an easy feat by any means to shock her practically beyond the formation of words and actually have her visibly show it as well. Her eyes widened, lips parting slightly in awe at the notion he made::.

How..how did he? I.mean..I..

.::Somehow what he said was so powerful. The way it was said. The way it was presented. It managed to shake it a little, or was the sudden shiver actually from his fingers that touched her back once he loosened his fist into an actually hold. Her breathing also visibly increased still unable to fathom what was going on. What was happening before her or even inside her. How could a simple phrase send such a shockwave through her core? Under her right palm the faintest purple glow would happen, it was something that had been occurred twice earlier but unnoticed. Still the glow would go unnoticed because it was nowhere near bright enough to draw attention and it was in the middle of her palm. He might feeling that same sensation suddenly again for a passing moment. The entire time Eury just stared for what seemed like forever::.

Ther-there is so much inside. If does feel like I just want to implode on myself, more than you know. There is so much stress, so much that's so wrong even with myself. Some days I just wanted to scream, but I ran. Everyday I ran as much as I could. It was my way of dealing but it's not dealing is it? It was me not wanting to face anything. I didn't want to deal with all my frustration. Deal with the thing about the girls, and deal with things with Leon. The frustration that was there thinking and feeling he didn't really look for me or the girls. Just left us in the wind and did his own thing. Really? I would've never done that. I never once did that. But I come back and he just left again, didn't even seem like he even remotely cared. What the hell was up with that? Our children were out there still missing! And... ugh I'm such an idiot I let him get into my head and force me to stay! How did I lose myself that far?!

This.. all this fun I was indulging in. This simplicity and excitement. This was me. Me all on my own. No one pushing me. No one giving me or trying to give me an order. Telling me what I should do, shouldn't do. Where I should go and shouldn't go. Whether I'm really me or not. I know who the hell I am. And I can do whatever the hell I want. Since when did I need permission from him or anyone? Since when did I start looking for that approval?

.::Her face remained the same as the thoughts swirled, her hands however gripped lightly on his bare shoulders. It actually was starting to hurt her head. She had that sudden rage of emotion back at the Lightning Tower when she felt like Leon was dismissing her like she was nothing. That wave was rushing over her again, anything was possible of happening from that notion alone. Then finally somehow she broke free of the mind trap she placed herself in. Her words the same as prior with a slight addition of an inquiry::.

"More than you know..What about you? Who saves you from your frustration if you're saving everyone else?"

[Kazuya Hikari]

Admittedly, Kazuya did get a bit of amusement out of seeing the look of shock and awe appear on Eurydice's face from his simple phrase and question, but he was, for the most part, serious. Feeling the same sensation he had felt previously again, for a passing moment, sending a shiver running through his body, he would try to pass it off as him simply shifting his body a little while continuing to tread water, his eyes never once wavering away from hers.

"... No one, to be honest. I've had to save myself almost all the time."

Reaching up with his left hand, he would move his hand like he was removing his mask, as it would disappear from his face, leaving him able to see Eurydice only by her heat signature, though he could still see her facial features, and would continue looking straight into her eyes, his face somewhat close to hers.

[Eurydice Sudeki]

.::The thing that would be surprising here would be the lack of distraction from him removing his mask. It vanishing as suddenly as it probably appeared. Normally Eury would go into 'oo' and 'ahh' mode about it wanting to know as much as she could, but her mind was completely occupied for once::.

"..I know that feeling.."

Though see I was always an independant type of girl. I didn't want the help. I seldom ever asked for it. I always wanted to do things on my phone. I let no one save me, but that's not entirely true is it? I've had people save me or try to from stupid situations I placed myself in and they either got killed or hurt. That's why I preferred no one did. Though I supposed secretly I did want someone to save me time from time. Save me from what? That was the question. I recognize sometimes I could be contradicting, but somethings even now were difficult for me to understand. To completely wrap my mind around things. But you know what? Right now.. I really don't want to understand. Right now I really don't give a damn.

.::Her eyes never left his as well. One reason was it was a habit of respect to look at someone in their eyes when they spoke. The other reason was far more obvious. Her breathing she tried to keep it in a even rhythm as the heat off him, felt like it was entering her own body. The tension that was in her body was loosening up. Why was that tension there in the first place? Eury had a past in which something happened and she didn't like people touching her without her permission. Now he never got that permission but through all the fun they were having it hadn't even crossed her mind. Under her palm it glowed again, enhancing pleasure centers unknowingly once more. Velvety smooth was her tone as she spoke. Could've almost been provocative if she was truly trying to be. Still the words already left her lips there was no taking them back::.

"Maybe you need to be a little selfish for once then."

[Kazuya Hikari]

Another shiver sent through his body once more, Kazuya would tilt his head slightly to the side, continuing to look deep into Eurydice's eyes, his face mere inches away from hers now.

"... Maybe."

His lips brushing lightly against hers, he would lock eyes with her, before slowly leaning in and kissing her. No thought, no care, no hesitation, no regrets. And not a single fuck was given that day.

[Eurydice Sudeki]

.::You know you wanna kiss the girl::.

And then the apocalypse happened all over again

.::She watched as his head tilted, it would only be a mere second before her head followed suit mirroring him in the opposite direction::.

Maybe I was in the need for a little selfishness of my own. I've always thought of others above myself. I deserve it don't I?

.::At his words, his lips brushed against hers a tease of a taste. She was already a frustrated woman in many ways and today, today she was letting her hair down. She was letting it out. A much needed release. She didn't care and when he captured her lips she didn't pull away. She didn't hesitate. She welcomed it as if it was something long lost. Her body easily started to rest into his, her hands moving from his shoulders to clasp lightly on either side of his neck deepening the kiss a bit. Naturally her breathing increased and since he read heat signatures her body temp was rising for sure and not just from his heat, but her own. She pulled away just enough that their lips still brushed when she spoke through her breaths::.

"Saving me from a tragedy huh?"

.::There'd be a moment to let him answer however he choose. Verbally or a nod before she'd speak again::.

"Save me then."

.::She wouldn't kiss him, instead wait. Eyes looking into his despite him having no pupils to really look into what did that matter. Her legs were starting to brush against his under the water, as they just treaded gently::.

[Kazuya Hikari]

Feeling Eurydice's body rest into his, her hands moving from his shoulders to clasp lightly against either side of his neck and deepening the kiss slightly, he would see her body temperature rising, though his own would always remain the same, not that it mattered right now. Feeling her pull away, he would look intensely into her eyes, a smirk forming on his face in response, before leaning in once more and kissing her again, holding her body up against his own.

Continuing to gently tread water, his legs brush against hers even more, this time, he would deepen the kiss, the heat from his body in constant contact with the cold water creating a thick layer of steam hovering above the water, adding to the blue hue of the cave.
