"You're so stuborn" I told Hyaku as he was attempting to leave the room. I knew that he was just going to fall down and hurt himself if he left. But he suddenly grabbed me and pushed my back against the wall, his hands on either side of me on the wall.
He smirked, "So are you." His gaze never left mine as he leaned in suddenly and kissed me gently.
Closing my eyes, I kissed him back. I had been secretly wanting to kiss him for some time. I couldn't deny that this was what I wanted, but I didn't want to be left out on the streets again when he got tired of me. Demons and humans just didn't belong together, and I didn't want to mess up his lineage. He must be embarrassed that I was a human, he had been masking up my humanity for some time now.
I heard footsteps out in the hall and took that as my opportunity to pull away. Hyaku looked at me, confusion written all over his face. I kept my hand on his chest keeping him at bay.
"You better get back in bed, or you'll open up your wounds," I told him as I turned and headed for the door.
"Kiana?" he called after me.
I opened the door and met Koori. I gave him a fleeting smile before brushing passed him. I practically ran down the hall, tears stinging my eyes. I didn't know this was going to hurt so much. I wanted to be with Hyaku, but I didn't want to simply be used to lift the curse and then to be cast aside like I have been all of my life.
I wanted to think Hyaku would never do that to me, but I was a lowly human, and he was a powerful, pureblooded demon. There was no room for me.
