The bight moon was high in the evening sky. The small town was in a deep sleep. All but one was resting for the day to come, one young girl could not sleep, could not rest her beautiful deep blue eyes.

Chikane sat alone in her room taking in the peaceful feeling of the silent moon light. Alone she sat on a bench just below her open window the soft wind lifted her dark blue hair from her bear shoulders. Chikane's gown straps had fallen slightly down her soft arms. She had not noticed, her thoughts were clouded with lust and love for another. For the girl she was destined to protect, to help, to love. She could feel her heart pound faster with each thought of her friend. Her body ached for the warm touch of her friend, for the feel of her soft lips upon her own. She wanted to hear her friend's sweet voice call out her name in pure pleasure.

Chikane couldn't take much more of not telling her dear friend of her feelings, but she also did not want to lose her friend do to her lustful needs.

Himeko…Chikane whispered to her self.

Knowing that her wants and need would never reach her dear Himeko, Chikane sighed to her self.

I need to try to relax…Chikane stood from her bench and started towards her bedroom door.

Making her way down the clod halls of her family's home to the very large bathing room, She was relived to see that no one was awake in the full but lonely home, even her head maid was not anywhere in sight. She didn't want to be bothered by there constant attention, it wasn't there's she was wanting.

Entering the room, Chikane paused taking in the sweet scent of the heated water of the over sized bath, it was calming to her wondering mind. Removing the straps from her cold shoulders letting the silk gown fall to the ground, Chikane slowly move in to the warm soothing water. The further she entered the water the clearer her mind became.

Letting the water caress her body, letting it touch her in many ways no one ever would. She was floating in the warm water finally feeling her heated body relax, she dared to close her eyes but in stead of the usual flash of Himeko's cute smile, there was nothing, just soothing darkness.

There was a muffled sound the Chikane couldn't quite make out but she wasn't too worried about it. She placed it as if it was simply the wind playing with her mind. But the sound can again…

Chikane…came a soft voice.

Chikane tried to ignore the sound for many times she has heard it and nothing was there.

A warm hand was placed on chicanes soft cheek…

Chikane…you mustn't sleep in the bath…came the soft voice again.

Chikane's deep blue eyes opened to see a blonde figure standing above her. Her cheeks brightened as she noticed who it was that disturbed her.

Hi...Himeko…what are you doing up so late…much less why are you in here…Chikane tried to playing off that she wasn't startled. Not meaning top sound so cold. She slowly stood up out of the water; the only light in the room was from the moon above.

I couldn't sleep…I wanted to come and try to relax in the bath mind if I join you…Himeko giggled.

Chikane didn't answer her friend she was trying not to stare at the naked figure right in front of her. Himeko's body was beautiful. The moon light showed her petit form, her skin glistened from the water the lush breasts slightly bounced from her breaths, her amethyst eyes seemed to glow in the light but the part that Chikane couldn't force her self from look at was Himeko's soft pink lips. God how she wished she could taste them again.

I'm…I'm sorry… I'll leave if you were wanting to be alone…Himeko started to move way from Chikane.

Chikane couldn't stop herself. She lightly grabbed Himeko's arm and pulled her back to her. She pulled her tight in to her making Himeko gasp.

No…no please st…stay…Chikane couldn't believe what she was doing.
