Yup I'm back! This idea was given to me by animecrazylover4ever who has given me a lot of support on my stories, so I hope you will enjoy it! This is an Ayano x Kazuma story, but there will be some Ayana x OC as well just for the drama!

Disclaimer

Hatori: She does not own Kaze no Stigma, only her own characters.

It had been a little over a month since the Belial incident with Bernhardt and Lapis, and Kazuma and Ayano had settled into a rhythm of defeating youma and going out to dinner. Their relationship had not exactly blossomed into love, but more into confiding in each other and helping each other out in times of need. Though Ayano still held feelings for Kazuma, she had convinced herself a relationship may not be possible. But even despite coming to this understanding with herself, she still chased after him.

Ayano's POV:

"Ugh I cannot believe I did that!" I practically screamed in embarrassment as I fell face first into my luxurious pink king-sized bed.

I had seen Kazuma and Catherine having lunch together in one of OUR favourite restaurants! Now I know I shouldn't care about that stupid, childish, aristocratic girl who was stealing MYKazuma away from me but seriously, I couldn't help myself! So I snuck around and climbed up the fire exit to get into a better position to spy on them and they just decided to start walking off right as I got to the top! I mean seriously! Give a girl a chance to at least spy a bit! Now as if that wasn't bad enough, they began walking to his hotel together. His. Hotel. By now I was positively seething, and I really didn't care about my cover. I waltzed into the hotel with a dark aura around me, and I knew people were staring and cowering in fear but I really couldn't care less. When I finally reached the elevator it was going particularly slow on the one day I really didn't need it. With an ear bursting screech, the boring elevator music was interrupted and it seemed to kick the elevator into overdrive. Arriving at the arrogant bastard's suite, I gave one swift punch and blew the door into pieces. The scene which was unfolding before my eyes was unbelievable. He was simply showing her a few techniques and she was trying to follow them. Knowing that my face was a brilliant shade crimson and hotter than the sun I ran out of there with the two staring at me with startled looks on their faces, but Catherine had a more cunning glint in her eyes.

"Why me gods, why." I mumbled into my pillow as tears clung to the edges of my eyes. It was just too embarrassing and I know that I wouldn't be able to face either of them for weeks. I silently sobbed for a few moments until something caught my attention.

"Well well princess, it's not like you to cry." Called a voice which sounded similar to Kazuma's but a bit more playful.

I snapped my head around to see who this intruder was.

"WHO THE HELL DO YOU THI-" I stopped mid-summon of Enraiha to see a man of Kazuma's physic leaning against the wall with his arms folded and his eyes closed.

He was wearing a black cotton shirt which had a button undone at the top; similar to the one Kazuma wore under his jacket, and a pair of black jeans. He also had a mop of jet black hair, and it was much spikier than Kazuma's. And then he opened his eyes. They were a deep amber and glowed as if on fire themselves. They pierced into my very soul.

"That's not exactly a nice welcome now is it Princess?" He said, and disappeared before my very eyes.

I felt something behind me grab my waist and pull me back. A wind played around me and the man whispered into my ear, "Calm down Princess, I am not here to hurt you." Despite his calming words, the touch was too intimate for me and my face had turned a magnificent shade of red.

The presence of the wind didn't hide his true aura. I felt the similar tugging of the flame aura of the Kannagi's. He was definitely a Kannagi I was sure of that much.

"You're a Kannagi aren't you?" I asked, my fiery orbs locking onto his amber ones. I had managed to regain control of myself by then.

"Previously, yes. But now, not really. I am my own man you could say." He said gently before releasing me.

He reappeared in front of me before I had even registered it.

"But I must be on my way, so Princess, I hope we shall meet again sometime." He bid me farewell before vanishing, and a small breeze passed behind me, blowing my long crimson hair in front of me. I fell to my knees whilst I was trying to figure out what just happened.

"A wind magic user." I breathed and a smile spread across my face.

At that moment, Ren was walking by my door and saw me.

"Nee-sama! I'm glad you're here uncle Jugo wishes to see you in the main room at once!" He chirped and ran off, with me trailing behind him.

There we go! And that is chapter 1. I can't guarentee when I'll update but I promise the next one will be soon! Please review and thanks for reading!
