Chapter 3: Ritsuka

The house that Rem and the others brought me to was beyond beautiful and reminded me almost of a castle but only in a house like a form with its many beautiful gardens, stone walls and stain glass front door. The house was only two stories tall and seemed to be the only house for miles around when I went inside I couldn't help but be amazed at the tall ceilings and dark wooden floors, I slowly turned back to face the others a wide happy smile adorning my face.

"This place is amazing," I said and Urie stepped forward and taking my hand laid a gentle kiss upon it.

"Why of course only the best for my butterfly." He said and was shoved aside by Mage.

"Yeah, I built the place with my two bare hands." He gloated and fitting back a snort I got onto my toes and pressed a soft kiss to his cheek instead.

"You guys did a really great job," I said because I knew that each and every one of them had added something to this place that would be our home.

Making my way upstairs I saw that each door up here had silver plate with a name on it, make my way down the hall I stopped at the door with my name on it and opening it let out a gasp of surprise.

The room looked exactly like my original bedroom but only more magical with a huge iron four-poster beds and on the individual post were tiny metal flowers and butterfly attached to it, turning tot ake in the rest of the room I saw that the most of the furniture was hand carved and paintings were hung on the walls depicting beautiful wilderness scenes and there was even a painting of her and the others.

The painting was breathtaking that she just knew that Shiki must have painted them all himself as if her thoughts had summoned him Shiki leaned against the side of her doorframe watching her.

"Shiki did you paint these?" I asked gesturing to the nearest paintings, the fallen angel didn't answer me just smiled that wicked smile of his and stepping into the room Shiki pulled me into his arms and began to kiss me deeply.

Moaning into the kiss I wrapped my arms around him as I kissed him back, as we kissed I felt the world around us slow and heat began to pulse throw my body, I wanted him in every way, want to physically feel the connection that held us all together but I was unsure if I was ready for that next step.

Before I could make any type of choice Shiki pulled back and reaching up to cup my face with his hand he gently began to rub my bottom lip with his thumb, his expression was a mix of desire, longing and...love. I knew all of the guys loved me, truly loved me but a small part of me still believed that this was all just a game, that these amazing creatures couldn't love a simple girl like me...but yet they did and so I would give them everything.

"Shiki..." I started but he silenced me with a simple finger to my lips.

"No Ritsuka, your not ready for that yet. When the time comes for me to take you, you will have no doughts about my love for you but until then I will not claim your body." He said and I was stunned at his serious tone, Shiki had never acted this seriously before or if he had I have never seen it.

I watched as he walked away and closed my door behind himself, leaving me feeling more out of place and confused then I had ever been before my world had turned upside down.
