emotionless(Rav/xeno) M

Lantin was awoke by the sound of Raven whimpering. He slowly stood up and looked down at her, tossing, tunring and sweating in her sleep. "Hey Reven, wake up. Its just a dream." He gently pushed down on her shoulder. "Raven, wake up. He can't hurt you. Its just a dream."

Raven cried even louder, not waking up.
She felt what she thought was the man's arm on her, and she hit the person as hard as she could, not realizing it was Lantin.

Raven sat up, rubbing her eyes.
"Huh...what?" she murmered sleepily, not realizing what she did.

Lantin stumbled back a few steps and groaned. He rubbed his jaw where he had caught him when she swung in her sleep. "remind me to never upset you." he said. He steeped foward again and looked down at her. "you were having a nightmare. You kept saying 'dont touch me.' in your sleep."

((Im going to say that Akihiko is in his crib. I know that I didnt put any way for Raven getting Akihiko into the crib...but uh...lets just say hes in the crib, ok?))


"What? Did I...."
Raven's eyes looked over him. Finally realizing what had happened and what she had done, she gasped.
The girl jumped off the bed and hung her head, then bowed in apologeticness.
"I'm so sorry," she whimpered, a tear trailing down her face.
"I didn't mean to- I mean, I didnt try to h-hit you..I...it was an accident....I thought you were him ......and I panicked....please f-forgive me..."

Lantin smiled. He placed his knuckle under her chin and lifted her head so she could look at him. He leaned in and kissed. "It's alright. It's my fault for being so aggressive in waking you." he whispered. He hugged her and kissed her cheek. "I'll go get dinner started. If you want to take a shower before hand, feel free. It will help you wake up."

"Um...Alright, thankyou," Raven said. "I'll do that..."

She looked at her feet. A shower would be nice.
She glanced over at Akihiko, who was still sound asleep. Raven was pretty sure the baby could sleep through a hurricane.
She smiled.

Lantin smiled and let raven go off to shower. "There is soap and shampoo in the for you in there.". He said and headed to the kitchen to start dinner. "now what to make." hHe said looking around. He opened all the cabinates and checks the frige but nothing good.

Raven took a long time in the shower. She greatly enjoyed the feeling of the warm water, the droplets caressing her naked body almost lovingly.

She purred slowly, flexing her muscles. It was rather unormal for a neko to like water, but Raven was not normal.

Raven opened her eyes, and scanned over her bare skin.
Her eyes stopped at a large crescent-moon-shaped scar on her left breast, a souvenir from her days as a ninja. She scowled at it, then continued on with her shower.


Finally, about six minutes later, Raven emerged from the bathroom, with a towel wrapped around her body.

She quickly walked to her room, brushed her hair, and put on a blue bathrobe. It was rather thin, and you could see the outline of her breasts if you looked closely.

Raven yawned, and then wandered downstairs to the kitchen.

In the kitchen, lanti was still looking for something to make when he heard the door of the bathroom open. "Done already." He called and laughed. Then he sighed. "Of all the times to run out of grecories." Thens when Raven entered the room and Lantin turned to look at her and blushed. She was next to naked in that gown. Her breasts were outlined and her mipples could be seen against the fabric. He mind raced with dirty thoughts and he wondered if she was wearing panties at all. "You...look amazing." He said as his pants tightened and trying to hide his hard on. He turned and walked to the frige. "It seems that I am out of food." He laughed nervously and pulled a menu off the fridge door and handed it to her. "So I guess we oreder take out."

Raven blushed lightly at Lantin's compliment. "Umm....thanks," she said shyly. He made her feel a little self-conscious about what she was wearing. She wasnt actually wearing panties, or anything under the robe for that matter. When she got the chance, Raven would go up and change into some more appropriate clothing.

When Lantin mentioned ordering takeout, she smiled.

"That sounds fun. What kinds of restaurants does Suna have? I havent really been here long enough to get a good idea."

Raven walked closer to him.

"You look a bit flushed," she murmured. "Are you feeling alright?" she asked, placing a hand on his forehead to measure his temperature.

:I feel fine its just...." Lantin gulped as his emotions escaped him. "Your very very beautiful and your....well what your where is very erotic." He closed his eyes nad turned praying for the best. Raven would clearly be able to see the outline of his hard dick in his pants. "I'm very muched turned on by you and in truth, i would like to have sex with you....but only if you want to as well." Well he said it, and now she would probably grab her child and flee this village becasue of it.

Raven recoiled, backing away.
She resisted screaming, her mind swirling in a pool of negative emotions.

Raven sank down to the floor, her head in her hands. She sat there in deep though.

Eventually, after five minutes of agonizing silence, she stood.

"Lantin," she said quietly. "I think that its very noble and honorable for you sharing the truth, and I appreciate that......Im just not....well.....ready for that sort of thing. I'm sorry for troubling you with this," she said, motioning to her robe.

"Please forgive me...."

Raven rushed into her room, and curled up on her bed. She no longer felt hungry.

Lantin watched her run off and a mixture of rage, lust and sawwor swirled in his head. He stormed into his weapon room and grabbed his scythe from the wall and stromed out of the house. He headed for the oasis, where he wouldn't kill anyone. The scythe blade was glowing bright red.

Raven curled herself up even tighter.

Tears began streaming down her face as she silently sobbed.

Akihiko was still asleep.

"Was I too harsh on Lantin? Oh....I dont fucking know! Dammit! Now he's upset and when he gets back he'll probably throw me out on the streets again....dammit......DAMMIT! Why do I always screw everything up?!?!?!"

Raven turned onto her side, and then fell asleep, not even bothering to turn out the lights.

Lantin thankfully made it to the oasis without killing anyone. He stood over his parents graves as he had done before and drained away all his emotions. He closed his eyes as a familiar chill ended his body as he grew hollow once more. His palms burned with a familiar pain as a power he buried tryed to escape. He stood in that spot through the night and well into the morning as he fought back the power that could doom the world. When he finally buried it again, he opened his eyes and headed home.

Raven was still curled tightly into a ball.

Her night had been full of nightmares, particularly centering around the man with the mask, the one that had raped her.
Thankfully, near the end of the night, she had managed to drift into a dreamless sleep.

She was still asleep.

LAntin entered the house and went into his weapon room. He placed his scythe on the display and went ot he kitchen. He poured and glass of water and took a couple asprin nad went to the living room to sit down. He gulped down the water and laid down on the couch and fell asleep. by the afternoon, he was still asleep

Raven had gotten up, but still hadnt left her room. Her stomach growled hungrily, so she decided to get something to eat.
She got dressed properly.

Not wanting to face Lantin, she strapped Akihiko to her back and crept out the window.

She went to the cafe that Lantin had shown her, ate a meal, and also fed Akihiko.

Soon, she went back to the house and entered through her window again.
Raven set Akihiko back in his crib.

She opened the door to her room, and walked into the living room.

Lantin was still asleep when Raven waked in. Still dreaming as she crept through the house. He was dreaming about her. About being with her. About loving her. He whispered her name as she entered the room, somehow aware of her presence. He hadn't meant t scare her, to make her feel afraid. He just told her how she had made him feel. Slowly he started to wake up. He looked over through blurry vision and saw her standing over him. "Good morning."

"Its not morning anymore," Raven said softly. "You slept well into the afternoon."

She paused, fiddling with her fingers.

"Listen,,,um..I wanted to say....Im sorry for the way I acted last night, I shouldnt have run off like I did. It's just....ever since....well...ever since Akihiko was...'conceived'...I've had a really bad psychological issue with,,,,well....anything of that sort of nature...."
She paused again, bowing deeply.

"I'm sorry....please forgive me," she whispered. A tear trickled down her face and onto the floor,

Lantin quickly got up and helped her sit down and wiped her tears away. "I'm sorry I made you feel that way." He said and hugged her, letting her head rest on his shoulder. "You know I could never hurt you." He whispered.

Raven breathed deeply, inhaling Lantin's scent.

She snuggled against him.

"I know," she whispered softly..

"Raven..." He smiled. "Hold still." He wrapped his arms around her and turned and laid down. pulling her ontop of him. He got to laying straight, with her gentle weigh atop og his body. And then he kissed her, a loving, passionate kiss. One that would last a long time. "I love you." He whispered while he kissed her.

Ravens face was flushed, and her breaths were slightly ragged.
She kissed him back, just as passionately...maybe even a little more.
"I love you too," She whispered.

Despite her reddish face and harder then normal breathing, Lantin could tell she was relaxing. He could feel the passion as her lips moved on his, as their tongues rubbed against eachother. His hand roamed her back and sides, but his body started to react as any normal mans would. He started to become react and hoped she wouldn't feel it or run again if she did. His lips parted hers and her began to kiss the side of her neck. Her skin was soft and pale, he moved to the bace of her shoulder began leaving a small red mark Bedford returning to her lips
