bloodsong1 | Because it's Kandy

Even if she didn't bring the Eville Plot Bunny green tea smoothies or answer its questions. I have resigned myself to losing my cerebral cortex sometime before July 4th. What I do for you, Kandy.

Baron sighed, unable to stop stroking Haru's hands. They were so soft.

"I honestly do not know. Divinity manifests in mortals several different ways. It depends on many factors."

"Such as?" Haru asked, moving her legs so she was sitting closer. Baron looked up, startled, and nearly lost what was left of his composure. She looked so eager, so excited, her face was lit up and her warm eyes were sparkling and he was so far past the danger of drowning he was already drifting along the bottom of her heart. Baron sighed again and squeezed her hands.

"Haru, I..."

"Yes?" Her voice had dropped to a whisper. Silence filled the room. Baron blinked once, twice, but the vision in front of him simply wouldn't vanish. Haru was here. Here in his room, sitting on his bed, his robe scrunched up between them and if he was reading the emotions flitting across her expressive face correctly, she was harboring the same secrets he was. Was this what Kohaku had meant, when he said he was granting two wishes?

"I...I was..." The Creation stammered, blushed, and finally hung his head. His composure was gone and it was all he could do to hold her hands and not her. That decision was taken away when Haru pulled her hands free and threw her arms around his neck.

"It's ok, Baron," She mumured in his ear, making it twitch madly. He carefully hugged her back, basking in her warmth and clean scent. It was much too soon when Haru pulled away to see his face. He refused to release her, simply leaned back so his whiskers wouldn't tickle her face. She grinned at him.

"I think the best way to find out what Kohaku-sama did is to run some tests. What do you think?"

"I agree. What did you want to test first? Changing size? Levitation? Casting fireballs?" Haru giggled and laid her head on his chest. Baron's heart kicked into overdrive.

"Well, my hearing seems to be improved," She said softly. Baron barely swallowed his own groan.

"You can hear them too?" He asked in rather husky voice. Haru lifted her head, mewing in confusion. The door shook from a very loud knock.

"Baron!" Muta's voice yelled through the door. "Haru's bag is making dancing music again!" Haru's eyes widened in shock.

"Oh no! My mom!"
