Hi, I'm Demon Kairos and this is my first DQ fic that I have put up, I have written many but I am picky and a perfectionist. I have been a fan of the books for ages and hope they make a movie of it! Just as long as they stick to the book, like Peter Jackson and the LOTR films. I'm also an LOTR fanatic and have taught myself elvish (Quenya). I can speak Japanese and I love to read, write and draw. Ok, enough about me and onto the story. This is Lief/Jasmine because I love them! This is set in between the second and third series. This is when I have decided their romance finally blossomed after many a book of hopeful fans waiting. Feel the sexual tension?

Jasmine walked down the path to the palace gardens slowly in the afternoon sun; as she walked she thought about Lief and Barda and their adventures together. She thought about all the times she and Lief had been so close, yet she had not been able to show how she felt about him, partly because she was to proud, partly because it could jeopardize their friendship.

Jasmine ambled over and sat on the grass and continued to think for about 5 minutes when she felt someone moving across the lawn to her. Lief sighed as he sat down resting his head on his knees and then looking up and smiling as he said "You are to predictable I always know you are here when I can't find you."

Jasmine let out a sniff of annoyance that he had known what she would do when she could never work out what he was going to say or do. Lief noticed this and smiled cheekily. "You are becoming slack Jasmine, when I met you, you would have never let someone know what you were going to do." Lief knew this would make her retaliate in defense of herself "I have not grown slack! I'm just…tired!"

"Of course you are" Lief grinned at her feeble excuse, but Jasmine sat in silent annoyance that she had not been able to think of anything better. She started to shiver in the cold and Lief immediately put his arm around her and held her close to keep her warm. "HA," Jasmine exclaimed, "You are predictable also, it seems"

"I was just trying to help" Lief let out a cry of annoyance that he had been so easily tricked.

"It's ok" Jasmine came closer to him, "I was actually cold."

"I know," Lief said grinning down at her.

Jasmine pushed him over and sat on top of him shouting "DID NOT!"

Lief laughed and muttered something quietly which Jasmine could decipher. "Huh," she asked questioningly.

"I help me think!"

"What," Jasmine queried, "That was random and didn't make sense."

"It doesn't have to, nothing we do seems to make sense. We put our lives in danger every second day and we don't mind, does that make sense? Does it make sense that we are so close and yet have not been able to show our feelings for eachother?"

Jasmine was in shock, he knew? What did he mean by "our feelings for eachother"? Did that mean he felt the same way?

Jasmine was pulled out of her thoughts as Lief took her into a kiss and she melted into it. She lay down on top of him and deepened the kiss, Lief tried to pry her mouth open with his tongue and she let him without question. Their tongues danced showing the secret love they had long held for one another. Jasmines hands entangled themselves in Lief's soft curls and he ran his hands gently along the length of her body.

Suddenly they both heard a sound and sat bolt upright and looked around them, they saw Sharn coming towards them with a torch but she had not yet sighted them. They quickly straightened themselves and sat a little way away from eachother as Sharn approached. "Lief," she cried, "There you are! We have been waiting for you for some time now. Did you forget the meeting?"

"Of course! I'm sorry, mother, I will come at once"

Lief turned to Jasmine and mouthed what looked like "I'll come to your room after."

Jasmine smiled and nodded. She waited until they were out of sight and ran to her room, almost skipping the entire way, until she ran into her father. "JASMINE! Watch where you're going," Doom bellowed.

"Sorry, Doom" Jasmine said, unable to hide her grin.

"What are you smiling about?"

"Nothing, I'm just happy."

"So I see, goodnight Jasmine, and do be careful to watch where you're going!"

"Yes, Doom. Goodnight, " Jasmine skipped of grinning and laughing.

Lief hurried to Jasmine's room after the meeting, eager to finish what they had started earlier. As he entered the room, Jasmine's lips attacked him as she jumped onto him, kissing him passionately. He carried her and led her over to the bed and laid her down gently, all the while managing to stay tightly attached to her lips. He lay down on top of her gently, trying not to put his full weight on her, and stroked her hair gently. She returned this show of affection by pulling him closer, tangling her fingers in his hair and wrapping her legs around his waist. He smiled into their kiss as she did this and began to stroke her sides softly, trying not to tickle her. She moaned in response to this and broke the kiss, breathing heavily.

The next moment, as they stared into eachother's eyes lovingly, there was a knock at the door. What now? Both of them thought exasperatedly.

Do you like it? If you do please review! I am open to pointers for improvement. Oh and this is rated "T" because I plan to make it get more serious hint hint .
