Chapter Twenty-Five: Birthday Wonderland:

February 24th, 2010.

Tsuzuki had counted down to this evening. He had a good birthday so far this year. Wakaba spoiled him with homemade goodies. The workload was the same, but he didn't care. His coworkers gave him a little party in the courtyard this afternoon. All good, but not enough for Tsuzuki. No. He waited for something, something big at home. The clock ticked in his head. Tsuzuki escaped home by seven, but first he made a quick call.

"Hello?" Anna asked on the other line. Tsuzuki smiled at himself.

"Anna-chan," he said. "How are you?"

"Good," she said. "Did you have a good birthday so far?"

"Not yet."

"What do you mean?"

The shinigami smiled at himself. "I'm not home yet."

"Oh�"

"That's right, see you then."

"All right." Both of them hung up and Tsuzuki grinned at himself. In a few minutes, the shinigami made it back to his apartment.

"I'm home!" Tsuzuki called.

"Welcome home," Anna replied from the living room. The shinigami paused to take in the scent in the air. Sweet smell, he thought. Tsuzuki tracked the scent to the living room. One single candle lit up the setting. A warm breeze from the open windows touched his face. Tsuzuki looked ahead of him. Anna sat on the couch waiting for him. The starry pink baby doll she wore hugged her breasts and curves. Tsuzuki ogled her crossed legs. His eyes trailed up to her chest. A little drool escaped from his lips.

"Is this my present?" he asked.

"Uh-huh," Anna replied. Her fianc� took off his coat and threw it to the floor. His jacket followed suit. The shinigami walked over to Anna as he loosened his tie. He kissed her on the lips. Anna took him into her arms and pulled him on top. She gave him a cute little pout when they broke off the kiss.

"What's wrong?" Tsuzuki asked.

"You're overdressed for your present," she whimpered. Her dainty hand playfully tugged at his shirt.

"Well then," he said. "I need you to fix that." Anna smiled at him. Did he need to say what she was thinking? Anna reached up and unbuttoned his shirt, one button at a time. Tsuzuki felt his heart racing. Her touch woke up his member. Once his shirt the floor, he reached down and untied her bow at her chest. The baby doll fell open before him. Her racing heart filled his mind. She reached up and put her arms around his neck. He met her with another kiss. This time, his tongue pushed past her lips and teeth. Anna moaned in his mouth. Her hands strayed down to his trousers. His boxers followed suit. Tsuzuki grabbed her white panties rolled them down. Anna spread her legs for him.

Fog filled the woods. The lad opened his eyes to the trees. The ferns tickled his legs below. The smell of gardenias caught his nose. His heart stirred in joy. She's nearby! The wanderer let the scent lead him. The trees bowed to his steps as a soft murmur filled his ears. I hear her heart beating, he thought. His feet became light as he began to run. He kept in time with her heartbeat.

He came out to a beach. The sun had started to rise. The wanderer squinted his eyes for a better view. His eyes grew wide fast. His white rabbit sat on the dock, watching the sea. He would recognize her reddish-brown hair anywhere. He wanted to run to her, but his feet stayed stuck to the ground. I� can't� move� His heartbeat could be felt all the way to the cobbles. My angel�

Suddenly, the white rabbit rose to her feet in her lovely red dress. The lad watched as she slid it off and kicked it away. Her white bra and panties followed behind. The lad's nose began to bleed when he saw the curves of her body. Whoa� The white rabbit walked over to the ocean and stepped in. The water caressed her bare skin. The wanderer felt himself melting inside. Her body, beating heart, and scent blew him to pieces inside. She took his heart and held it hostage.

She will be my wife, he thought. I just have to have her! She will be mine!

Tsuzuki nuzzled close to Anna on the couch.

"Happy birthday," she whispered in his hair. Tsuzuki was already half-asleep.

"Mmm," he murmured. Her breasts once again made a perfect pillow to wrap up one of the best birthdays ever.
