His silence

Chapter 1
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

By the looks of it, it had been in business for years. In a small town, an old fashioned bathhouse stood on the top of a hill. Its wooden floors creaked from the years and a long, snow covered winding road led to its entrance. Trees surrounded the area and hills rolled on for miles and miles. It was quiet and small, peaceful and serene. It was the perfect place to be.

Iijii shivered from the cold, frosty wind and watched as smoke emerged from her chapped, pink lips. Along side her and across stood many young and old women adorned in kimonos, awaiting the “special guests” they were expecting.
She shifted her gaze to her shivering cousin across from her, who gave a sympathetic smile, and then moved it to the entrance that was only a couple feet away. The wonderful sensation of warmth was so close but yet so far away. How desperately she wished to return back inside. However much she loved winter and fall, she desired the hot temperature of the summer season at moments like this. Wearing nothing but the thin material of work clothes didn’t help warm her.
She anxiously glanced down the road and imagined a fancy car driving towards them. They had been waiting for their “special guests” for ten minutes when they said they would arrive in 5.
She let out a long sigh and a cloud of smoke appeared. She rubbed her arms in attempt to warm herself but her body was already numb.
“Why are they not here yet?” Somewhere down the line a girl whined and was immediately hushed by her friends.
“Be patient. Our guests are very important people. The president of “Han Electronics” and his new wife are coming for a 4 month honeymoon. It’s important that we make sure we make their stay a good one! Whatever you do! Do not do anything that you will regret!” The hostess explained and quiet murmurs filled the air. A sharp ‘hush’ from her immediately stopped the whispers
Iijii exchanged glances with her cousin and both raised their eyebrows at the news. Four months seemed like an awfully long time for a honeymoon. Iijii couldn’t help but shake her head.
“They’re here!!” Someone whispered loudly.
She whipped her head around to see fancy black car slowly approach them. She licked her dry lips in anticipation and dusted imaginary lint from her uniform. The car stopped a few feet away from her and she eagerly waited for them to exit the car. The chauffer hurried out of the driver’s seat and ran over to open the door for the president and his wife. Iijii watched as a shiny black shoe stepped out from under the door and the figure fully stepped out from the car.
“Welcome!” Everyone chimed and bowed. Iijii bent low and kept her eyes to the ground. From the corner of her eye she could see the figures approach her. She remained bowing as did everyone else. A pair of legs in black slacks came across her view when the person stopped a foot away from her.
“Thank you for having us.” A low, deep, and kind voice traveled to her ears and she slowly straightened to stand upright.
A handsome man with an elegant woman at his side stood side by side and gave each of them a kind smile. The smell of the woman’s expensive perfume wafted to her nose and she breathed in the pleasant scent.
The man wore a black suit and a long black winter coat. He stood with pride and he looked rich and refined. His newly wedded wife was no different. She also wore a more feminine black coat with fur at the collar. She was elegant and beautiful and stood with an aura of royalty.
Iijii swallowed and kept her gaze glued to the ground.
“We are very glad to have you here. We hope that you enjoy your stay!” The hostess spoke with a welcoming voice and bowed low to have everyone follow the action.
“Please come inside away from the cold. I will show you to your room.” She motioned to the entrance. The man stuttered a little and held up a hesitant hand to stop her.
“Uh-I’m sorry, that will be 2 rooms.” He said. At his comment everyone exchanged side glances.
Two rooms? Were they not married? Why did they not want to stay in the same room?
Iijii glanced back and forth at the couple in confusion. The man gave a small bow and smiled.
“Ah! I am truly sorry. My son has come with us.” He explained. The hostess nodded finally understanding the situation and delicately swatted her hand.
“Oh please, it is no trouble.” She replied.
The passenger side door suddenly opened and caused everyone to turn their attention to their side. Iijii kept her eyes on a small pebble in front of her. She refused to stare.
A young man slowly stood and let out a low sigh when he fully emerged from the car. Beside her, many of the young girls let out quiet, barely audible gasps. There was a long pause of silence, before the sounds of snow crunching beneath feet traveled to her ears. It stopped when he stopped directly in front of her. For several moments she just stared at a pair of black boots until finally she slowly raised her eyes to the man in front of her. Her gaze slowly followed up from his boots, to his pants, to the buttons on his coat, to his lips, his nose, and then finally ended at a pair of dark, stormy eyes. Eyes so dark it was impossible to make out the pupils in them.
Iijii blinked and swallowed hard. How long had he been staring at her? Why did he continue to stare at her?
“Welcome!” The hostess suddenly spoke and Iijii snapped back to reality, blinking multiple times and quickly bowed. She tightly shut her eyes and felt her cheeks begin to grow warm.
He was the most gorgeous man she had ever seen. He was beautiful! Impossibly handsome! Terribly good-looking. He was or close to perfect.
“This is my son Kiba” She flushed deeply upon hearing his name and bowed lower.
“He is the one that will need the second room.” His father spoke and Iijii finally straightened although kept her head bent low. She made sure she kept her eyes away from his.
He was extremely tall. At least 6 feet or taller which was either way still taller than her height of 5’6. Even though his coat hid his body, it was obvious that he was lean and well built. His hair was extremely straight and skimmed his shoulders. Whiffs of his dark bangs curtained his eyes giving him a dangerous look. His dark hair contrasted greatly against his fair, porcelain skin. His face was sculpted to perfection. He was the epitome of what people would call “a masterpiece’.
“Please come this way.” The hostess began to enter while the president and his wife followed. Kiba remained where he stood. Iijii shifted uncomfortably under his penetrating gaze. His father glanced back when he noticed his son wasn’t following.
“Kiba.” He called. Iijii watched as the pair of boots after several moments, finally walked away. She let out a breath of relief and found the courage to stare after his retreating figure. Many of the girls hurried to follow after him while others stayed behind.
“Iijii! Do you know him?” Iijii stared at her cousin and felt like she had committed some sort of crime.
“N-no, I don’t think so.” She found herself stuttering. She glanced back at the spot he stood last and instead got many spiteful glances.
“He was very handsome wasn’t he?” Her cousin held her hands to her heart and sighed deeply. Iijii sighed. He was very handsome.
“Uh. Keiko, we better get back to work.” Iijii turned to her cousin and began to return inside. It was freezing!
Behind her she could hear Keiko give a loud groan and the sound of her feet shuffling in the snow. Inside was nice and warm and Iijii felt her cheeks begin to sting.

Iijii walked down the hall carrying a bucket with soap water and a mop. She had to wash the floors in the hot springs. Upon arriving at the hot spring, she slid open the shoji door with her foot and stepped inside. The hot steam immediately hit her face and she began to grow warm. She set down the bucket and mop with a thud and sighed.
She was already quite warm but she wasn’t sure if it was from the hot steam or from before. She couldn’t bring herself to forget the cold, emptiness in his dark eyes. The thought of his unwavering gaze upon her made shivers travel through her. He seemed so emotionless, so lonely, so dark and dangerous. The way his hair fell over his dark eyes made him seem even more frightening and even more frighteningly beautiful. She let out another deep sigh and rolled up her pants and sleeves. She bent down to grab her mop and set to work.
For what seemed like hours she scrubbed vigorously until her arms and legs ached. Her mind kept traveling back to that morning until she grew frustrated with herself for not forgetting about it. She grumbled and scrubbed even harder. She was so deep in her thoughts she almost missed the person that entered the room.
“I’m sorry the hot spring is not open right no-“She began but immediately cut herself off and let out a soft gasp. She took a cautious step backwards and felt her trembling hands grab the collar of her shirt.
Kiba stood by the doors and stared at her with the eyes that distracted her thoughts for the last hour and a half. The steam slightly blurred her vision but she knew for a fact it was him. She could feel his burning gaze put a hole through her. He had taken off his coat and revealed a shirt that fully accentuated his lean and built body.
She swallowed hard and fidgeted. She awkwardly put a strand of loose hair behind her ear and wiped sweat from her forehead with the back of her hand. She finally decided to break the silence.
“Uh…w-were you planning t-to take a bath? I-I should be done any moment now.” She found herself stuttering uncontrollably. For a moment his gaze slowly moved to the mop in her hand then moved back to her wide eyes. She noticed he only wore his clothes with no yukata or towel in his hands. Was he planning to take a bath without a change of clothes?
The room lapsed into another awkward silence and Iijii began to grow hot again. Her face flushed as she cleared her throat to try clearing the tightening in her chest.
She attempted to break the silence again. “D-did I forget to put up the ‘Do Not Enter’ sign?” She asked him but he still refused to move or speak. He remained how he was and only continued to stare at her.
Iijii found the courage to move and she began to walk in his direction to the doors. She stiffened when she walked past him. He stared at her over his shoulder and stood silently, watching her. He stood so close behind her, she could feel the heat radiating off of him. She inhaled the scent of wood and spices.
She slid open the door and paused when she noticed the sign hung on the wall beside her.
She hadn’t forgotten to put up the sign. She turned around to face him and licked her lips.
“I-I didn’t…forget to.” She said and gave a small smile.
He still didn’t speak. Without taking his eyes off of her, he tilted his head causing his bangs to fall over his face and fully cover his eyes. Iijii shivered and lowered her head.
She didn’t want to believe he was there because of her but why was he there?
Iijii stiffened when he finally moved and slowly walked past her to leave. Her shoulder brushed his arm, sending 1000 volts of electricity to travel through her body.
When the sound of his footsteps disappeared down the hall, she let go of a breath she held.
Attentively, she glanced down the hall to catch him slip into his room and his door slide closed behind him. It was going to be a long 4 months…

Iijii walked into the kitchen and plopped into the nearest chair, emitting a long sigh. Her cousin sent her a look of acknowledgment and turned back to stirring the soup.
“You look exhausted, more than usual too.” Keiko said. Iijii rolled her head on her shoulders and beat her back with her fists.
“I just had an odd encounter…” Iijii admitted quietly, enough for only her to hear.
“What encounter?” Keiko turned around and frowned in confusion, upon catching what she said. Iijii emitted another sigh and sat up straight in the chair.
“Well…” She hesitated and licked her lips.
“Ki-Kiba-San walked in while I was cleaning the hot spring.” Iijii said embarrassed and Keiko tilted her head, frowning deeper.
“So? Why is that odd? He just left right?” She asked and Iijii shook her head.
“No, that’s just it. He didn’t. He just stood there and watched me.” Iijii rubbed her arm as Goosebumps began to appear.
“That is very odd” Keiko agreed and turned back to the soup. At that moment, the head cook walked in with a look of tension on her face. She turned to Iijii and gave a small look of relief.
“Iijii! I need your help! We are running a little behind. Would you please bring this tray of food to the suite down stairs? The one the young man is residing in.” She almost pleaded and Iijii couldn’t help but nod her head.
“The young man?” Iijii repeated and the old woman nodded, handing her the tray of food.
“Yes, he said he wanted to eat in his room rather than in the dining area.” She answered Iijii’s question that she never dared to ask. Iijii refused to believe that of all the people, she was the one chosen to deliver food for him.
Giving her cousin an uneasy look, she nodded and walked out to the hall.

Each step slowed as she got closer and closer to her destination. She could hear the hard pounding of her heart in her ears and she tried swallowing a lump that formed in her throat. The door to his room appeared in her line of view and she stopped in mid stride. Why? Why was simply delivering food for a guest such a hard and dreadful task to be done? Why did her heart pound so uncontrollably fast? Why could she not feel her body? Why did her body tremble? Why did her body tremble in excitement? In anticipation?
Iijii breathed in deeply and let out a shaky breath. She silently prayed for assistance while she stepped forward. Her heart pounded harder and faster, and the pounding grew louder and louder in her ears. When she stood in front of his door, she gulped and hesitantly spoke out.
“K-Kiba-San? I-I am here t-to deliver your meal.” She was surprised that she could even speak and waited for an answer. For several moments there was nothing but an awkward, eerie silence. There was no answer or any sound of footsteps approaching the door. There weren’t any signs to enter. She cleared her throat and set to try again.
“Kiba-San? Are you-“She was cut short when the door suddenly slid open and Kiba stood at the doorway. She let out a loud gasp and stared back at him in shock. Her lips moved but her voice refused to come out. When realizing it was useless, she blinked and lowered her head. She could feel his hard gaze and blushed deeply. He stood before her, as beautiful and frightening as ever. He never spoke or moved.
“I was told you wished to eat in your room…I- I am here to deliver your food.” She said softly and waited quietly for his answer. When he gave none, she sought the courage to raise her head and stare at him. When she did, she regretted it immediately. The familiar cold eyes met with hers and it struck a cord within her. She bit her lower lip and lowered her head again. He emotionlessly stared down at her and didn’t miss her ill at ease state. He silently moved to the side, motioning for her to enter his room. As soon as she stepped inside and was out of the hall, he shut the door causing her to look back at him in slight fear. He took small steps towards her and stopped a foot away from her. He never took his eyes off her. She slowly turned around and gently placed his tray of food on a table.
“I hope you enjoy your meal, Kiba-San” She smiled softly despite how frightened she felt and slowly stood straight to bow at him. “If you need anythi-!!!” She continued but almost shrieked in surprise when she felt him grab her by the forearms. Her eyes widened in surprise and she watched his eyes grow darker.
“Ki-Kiba-San!!” She gasped out and began to attempt wiggling out of his hold. He let out a low growl causing her to freeze and cease her struggles.
Shoving her against the wall his lips savagely fell upon hers causing her to whimper in pain. Iijii felt her body stiffen as he forced her mouth open. His tongue plunged inside her mouth while his arms wrapped around her slender waist and pulled her trembling body against his. Iijii felt her body begin to shut down from fear but to her surprise she felt a strange knot tighten in her lower abdomen. Something between her legs began to tingle and without realizing it, she hesitantly gripped the front of his shirt as if silently asking him what she was supposed to do. He didn’t seem to mind her action as his lips ripped away from hers and viciously attacked her throat and chest. Iijii whimpered as pleasure caressed her body. For support, she gripped his shirt more tightly and rested against his thigh as he placed his leg between hers. She sighed as he licked, sucked, and kissed her. Her mind grew hazy but her body knew exactly what wonderful torture she was receiving. She could feel the soft caress of his hair against her heated face and chest. His hot mouth traveled deeper down her shirt until it reached her breasts and tender nipples. By now, Iijii completely surrendered to Kiba. She didn’t care what he was going to do to her; she just wanted him to never stop. She was completely under his spell. Her body reacted violently to his tongue and hands. The smell of his cologne drugged her.
He violently suckled her breasts, earning a loud, pleasurable moan from Iijii. Unconsciously, she tugged at his shirt, silently begging him to take it off. She wanted to feel his heated skin under her trembling fingers. Kiba practically ripped off his own shirt before throwing Iijii to the floor. She watched and waited impatiently to touch the gorgeous creature’s silky skin. His muscles were perfectly formed and toned. She watched as he dropped to his knees in front of her, his gaze never leaving hers. His glorious, black hair skimmed his sculpted shoulders. How she longed to run her fingers through his soft mane.
Their breathing came out in harsh and heavy pants. Iijii almost moaned out loud when his eyes were shadowed by his dark hair. He looked dark and dangerous…he looked absolutely wonderful! She whimpered and rubbed her thighs together. She didn’t know anything about being with a man but she knew that she needed to be free of this uncontrollable desire for him. She shivered in delight when he growled low and viciously pulled her towards him by the ankles. Her kimono rode up to reveal her smooth, silky thighs. Iijii felt like a mouse about to be devoured by a wolf. How she loved the sensation!
She licked her lips in anticipation as he untied her kimono. She waited until she felt the cool air hit her naked body and she felt completely powerless as she lay naked before him. His heated gaze took in every curve and crevice of her slender body. He placed his body over hers and his lips attacked hers again. Her hands greedily traveled over his body. She wanted to know every inch of him. She shivered at the feel of his muscles under her tiny hands. His hands traveled to her breast and eventually traveled lower. She let out a loud gasp as she felt an unfamiliar object enter her. She let out little yelps of pleasure as he continued to insert more fingers. Her hands blindly traveled to the buckle of his belt and the button of his pants. She nibbled his lower lip in triumph when she completely freed his bulge. She could feel his chest tighten when she hesitantly gripped his penis into her petite hand. Not sure of what to do, she slowly began to stroke him. This earned her harder caresses and painful bites but not once did she beg him to stop.
Iijii moved her head away and gasped for air. Kiba growled in response and shoved his finger harder inside her.
“Please Kiba-San!!!! I beg you!!!!!!” She gasped out. Iijii felt herself begin to rotate her hips. She attempted to kiss him but instead just breathed heavily against his lips. She felt his fingers stop their torture and slowly pulled out from inside her. Iijii slightly whimpered but stopped when Kiba began to stroke her hair.
Such a simple and gentle act made her heart begin to pound harder. His hair made a curtain around their faces and Iijii sighed as he continued his gentle caressing. Iijii took that moment to fully examine his face. She had never seen a more perfect and handsome man in her life. His skin was so fair and smooth. His eyes slit and narrow like a cat. His dark eyes surrounded by dark, ashy lashes. Full, pink lips pulled into a tight line. His dark bangs fell carelessly over his eyes. He was just perfect. She stared into his dark, empty eyes and felt a wave of sadness flood over her. He seemed so dangerous but yet he seemed so sad. Iijii brought a hand to his face and gently cupped it in her hands. She smiled softly as he relaxed into her trembling hand and slowly lowered his face. Iijii remained still as she felt him caress her soft lips with his. His kiss was gentle and calm and Iijii responded by softly returning his small affectionate kisses. She gently kissed his lips and jaw line. She kissed his eyes and his nose, once and awhile gently nipping at his lips. She softly traced the contours of his face with her fingers. She stroked his silky hair and sighed in content. For awhile they just held each other in their arms, gently kissing and exploring each other’s bodies. Iijii let out a brief sigh of content before letting out a sudden gasp of pain. She cried out in pain and tightly gripped the gorgeous creature’s shoulders. Tears streamed from her black lashes while he kissed them away from her face. Kiba had plunged inside her and held her delicate body in his strong arms. He watched her through his stormy, dark eyes while she whimpered and cried. He tenderly kissed her face and neck as if to wash away her pain. Iijii’s eyes fluttered open while she swallowed the lump that formed in her throat. He kissed her again as he slowly pulled out and quickly plunged inside her again. She gasped out but the pain seemed to fade away instantly and she was taken away into a world of glorious pleasure. Despite his violent and rough attacks from before, Iijii was surprised at how gentle he was. He held her tightly to his chest as she trembled in pleasure. Deeper and deeper he plunged inside her and louder and louder her moans grew. Only the sounds of their heavy breathing and Iijii’s mewls of pleasure filled the room. Her world was spinning faster and uncontrollably. He took her higher and farther away from earth and she never wanted to return.
