Chapter Eight: Repayment Meal:

Today wasn't as bad. Tsuzuki went to check on Anna at Kimoto Manor. The other shinigami didn't forget about what he did at work, but for some reason, Tsuzuki didn't feel worried anymore. To him, the risk would be worth the reward. Tatsumi, like Hisoka, didn't see it that way.

"Why does he keep doing this to himself?" Hisoka complained to him. Tatsumi regretted the answer to that question. He even tried not to show it on his face.

"It's love," he admitted bitterly. Hisoka looked up at him.

"I know that," the boy said. "But why?" Tatsumi shook his head.

"I can't say," he replied. Both guys went quiet as Tsuzuki saw them from his desk. Tatsumi and Hisoka pretended to work. Their co-worker already knew what they were talking about, but he chose to ignore it. I know they are worried about me, he thought. He would have to help them understand. One day�

Tsuzuki couldn't wait for the day to be over. He didn't waste any time on making the trip to Kimoto Manor. Anna sat on the futon, waiting for him.

"Welcome back," she said. Her boyfriend smiled at her.

"You seem much better," he said. Anna nodded.

"Yeah," she said. "I don't feel so sick anymore."

"You still hear thoughts?" Tsuzuki asked. Anna shut her eyes for a listen. Faint words filled her ears as she shook her head.

"Just barely," the woman replied. Tsuzuki took off his coat and sat down next to her on the futon.

"Really?" he asked. His ladylove tried to listen again.

"Yes," she said. "It's pretty fai�" That last thought got cut off with a kiss. Anna blinked in surprise; all she could do was kiss back. Tsuzuki lightly pushed her back onto the futon. Anna looked at him after they broke off.

"You're in a horny mood, aren't you?" she asked. Tsuzuki looked into her greenish-brown eyes.

"Maybe," he whispered. "You up for it?"

"Would I have to do much?" Anna asked. The shinigami smiled at her as he leaned in close to her ear.

"I want to try something new with you tonight," Tsuzuki whispered. Anna looked startled. She opened her mouth to speak, but he stopped her.

"Let me finish," Tsuzuki cut in. He kissed her on the forehead.

"You remember I ate you out this morning?" he whispered. Anna nodded.

"Yes�" she replied. Tsuzuki kissed her again.

"Well," he said. "I was thinking you could repay me tonight." Anna blinked at him.

"Okay�" she said. �What do you need me to do?" Her boyfriend gave her a naughty little smile.

"Let me show you," he whispered. He kissed her on the lips. Anna slowly kissed him back while his hands found their way to her grey shirt and slid under.

"Oh," he whispered at her lips. "No bra today, huh?" Anna's cheeks colored a bright pink.

"I guess not�" she mumbled. Tsuzuki gave her a little lick to the throat. His girl trembled in response. The man slid off her shirt and threw it aside. Anna reached forward and unbuttoned his. Tsuzuki gave it his all to lie there and let her do so. Anna gave him little butterfly kisses to the chest. She even traced tiny circles over his nipples with her tongue as she did so. Tsuzuki moaned as his manhood awoke for the night shift. Anna smirked to herself.

"You like that, huh?" she asked. Tsuzuki moaned in reply. Anna giggled.

"I'll take that as yes," she whispered. Anna climbed on top and slid off her dark blue sleeping shorts. Tsuzuki smiled at her.

"Ready to pay me back?" he asked.

"And how do I do that?" she challenged. He reached up and stroked her cheek.

"Unzip my pants," the shinigami told her. Anna looked blank for a long second before she grabbed on his trousers, unzipping them. She threw them out of the futon. She clutched his boxers and yanked them down. Anna glanced up at him for further instructions. The man licked his lips at her.

"Just go down and start sucking me off," he said. Anna stared blankly at him, lost in translation.

"What?" she asked. Tsuzuki reached up and lightly pushed her down to his waist. Anna glanced up at him, figuring it out.

"You want me to�" she began to say.

"Yes," Tsuzuki answered. He paused, eyeing her. "That's if you are okay with this�" Anna thought about his offer.

"You know," she said with a smile. "I'll give it a try." Tsuzuki smirked at her.

"Good girl," he said. Anna parted her lips and took him in.

At the top of a mountain sat another rice-white temple. A priestess took care of this one. This woman looked to be more of a princess than a simple priestess. She wore her smooth russet hair back into a ponytail. Her face and height made her look sixteen rather than twenty-six. However, her red and white robes hid her womanly curves.

For years, the spirits of the temple wondered what this priestess looked like under those robes. So one day, the spirits devised a plan to see her naked.

Today was a holy day. The priestess cleaned the temple, prayed, gave her offerings, read the holy text, and meditated for most of the morning. By the evening, the spirits put their plan into action.

As the priestess prepared for the evening rituals, she heard a soft whisper fill her ears.

"Priestess," the spirits whispered. The woman paused and looked around.

"Who's there?" she asked.

"We are the spirits of the temple," the voices answered. The priestess fell to her knees.

"My lords!" she wailed. "What do you desire of me?"

"Our priestess," the spirits whispered. "You have served us well. We have decided to show you our thanks. Take off your clothes." The priestess gave off a confused look.

"Why do you want me naked?" she asked.

"Behold in front of you!" they said. The priestess looked at the altar in front of her. The spirits had laid out a feast for her. They provided her with Hokkaido's finest. Roasted bear, Genghis Khan, ruibe, shikari nabe, sanbei-jiru, chanchan-yaki, fresh rice, soba noodles, ramen, boiled fish, and ika somen. The priestess' eyes shot wide open.

"Wow!" she mouthed.

"Yes!" the spirits said. "It's all for you." The priestess stood up and began to disrobe. Her robes covered the rice-white floor. The spirits ogled her womanly hourglass figure. The priestess had grown up before their very eyes over the years.

Once naked, the priestess sank down to her knees before the altar. Forget the chopsticks. She ate the meal with her bare hands like a creature of the wild. The spirits watched her eat the holy dinner they laid out for her. So lovely�

In the end, the priestess finished her meal and collapsed back onto the rice-white floor. She sighed in bliss and went right to sleep.

Oh yes, the spirits were going to do this again very soon.

Tsuzuki lay back, panting. Anna let go and crawled back up to her lover, swallowing her treat. The shinigami watched on with tired, hopeful eyes.

"Good?" he asked. Anna finally smiled at him.

"Yeah!" she cheered. Tsuzuki smiled as he reached up and petted her on the head.

"Good girl," he whispered. Boy, did they sleep well that night.
