Reuniting (Gan Ning)

[Kang Ren]

Gan Ning's eyes grew wide as he saw her disrobe. He felt himself get aroused but decided to stay it. Now isn't the time. Gan Ning smiled and looked up at the sky, the moon beginning to become visible. He looked up and smiled, "The moon is beautiful... the ocean is its lover. You are the moon, I am the ocean." He said quietly. His heart burned with passion for her.

He chuckled as she said she wasn't the best swimmer. He swam over to her and kissed her gently, he then turned around and smiled, "Come, get on my back. I'll swim around for a while."

[Nohime]

Nohime practically felt her heart melt as he spoke. It was like poetry. For a pirate, he knew just what to say and how to say it. Her mind went tingly and her heart beat fast. She then looked up at the moon, then observed its reflection on the water's surface. She smiled, as Gan Ning then offered for her to get on his back. She slowly placed a hand on both of his shoulders and wrapped her legs around his waist. She rested her head against the back of Gan Ning's neck.

"Do what you like," she told him softly. "I just enjoy being near you." She sighed softly as the waves began to caress her skin. She felt every breath that Gan Ning made; she could nearly hear his heartbeat.

[Kang Ren]

Gan Ning felt her hand's on his shoulder and her legs wrap around him and his heart jumped. Her body was so warm, but so small. He smiled and swam, even with her on his back she was very easily. He enjoyed just being around her. As she said the same he chuckled, his body shaking but he still swam. He smiled and said to his love, "The same with me my viper. Being around you is... intoxicating. Your like alcohol... but so much better." He smiled again and swam a little more.

Soon he swam back close to the shore and then he planted his feet down on the sand beneath the water. He spun Nohime around from off his back and into his arms. He kissed her gently and said smiling, "I love you but..." then he dropped her into the water and laughed happily. It had been so long since he had normal fun with someone.

[Nohime]

Nohime was practically lulled into a state of utter calm as Gan Ning swam. She felt his body shake and his muscles ripple with each movement. It was quite enjoyable. It was like the perfect moment. Soon, he had spun her off of his back and he was carrying her wedding style. She liked being held like this. Then he said something odd. "But wha--"

Suddenly, she felt her body completely immersed in the ocean water. Before she was completely under, she shrieked slightly. Soon she was under. At first, she was frightened, then realized that Gan Ning was playing with her. Normally, this would anger her...but this was different. She actually started to feel playful. While she was under, she slowly tried to swim behind him. Surprisingly enough, she was successful. She sprang up from the water and wrapped her arms around his neck and tried to pull him backwards to dunk him. "So, we're playing this game, are we?" she laughed.

[Kang Ren]

Gan Ning laughed and tried to run away from her, however she grabbed him and pulled him under. He smiled under the water and grabbed her arms and pulled her down with him. He kissed her under the water and he felt great. Like he was floating on air. Well... in the water. He smiled and pulled her up out of the water, kissing her softly. He smiled and asked her, "When do you want to go? Or would you like to rest a day?"

[Nohime]

Nohime enjoyed the kiss between her and her fiance underwater. It was an unusual experience but was still very exciting. She then felt herself be lifted from the water. Still in Gan Ning's arms, she was kissed again. She smiled at his question then embraced him tightly.

"What's the rush?" she asked softly. "I'm starting to feel a bit more outdoors-y..."

She was loving this moment between them. A calm, warm night in the ocean during a full moon? Who could ask for a more perfect night? She then looked back up at the moon for a moment and took in it's eerily beautiful light. "So...you are the sea...and I am the moon..." she giggled softly and rested her head against Gan Ning's neck. "I think we bring out the best in each other, then."

[Kang Ren]

Gan Ning smiled and nodded, his eyes twinkling in the moonlight, the ocean sparkling. It was a beautiful scene, and any onlookers would have felt the love just radiating off the two. Gan Ning had his love, that was all he could ever need. He smiled as she said she felt outdoors-y, he smiled and kissed her again, "I feel the same." He laid back on his back and started floating with her in his arms. It wasn't too hard as he thought it would have been. She was surprisingly boyant.

Gan Ning smiled and nodded, it was true, "Yes my love. And my soon to be wife. Question... where should it be?" He wondered this, they didn't have any spectacular places they had been to yet. He smiled, I guess we have to find a place.

[Nohime]

Nohime rested her head against Gan Ning's chest, listening to the rhythm that was his heartbeat. Floating in the water like this was quite nice. Then Gan Ning asked a question. "You mean, where should we get married?" she inquired. "Well...I don't know, someplace beautiful." She giggled slightly. She knew that the place she had in mind most likely didn't exist. She imagined a calm, serene clearing in a forest with many different flowering trees surrounding it.

She sighed softly. "By the way...Unfortunately the most we have for a home for now is a tent. It's a large tent, but a tent nonetheless..." she admitted. "I'm sure I could talk Sun Jian into letting us have a small house, though." In reality, she didn't know if she could. She barely knew Sun Jian. He probably wouldn't be able to remember her. Still, it was worth a shot.

[Kang Ren]

Gan Ning smiled, "Yes a place that could rival your beauty. If one exists." He said. He knew he said all the right words since they began meeting. But it was in reality how he felt. He felt as if he was on the top and nothing could bring him down. Nohime was resting on his chest and she felt so good. She was warm, and so... small. She seemed fragile but Gan Ning knew better.

"Ah the house issue..." Gan Ning said laughing, "Yes we should probably ask him. If worst comes to worst, we can live on a ship." Gan Ning said chuckling. Really he didn't know how she would like that. Gan Ning was perfectly fine with it, he spent most of his adult life on a boat, but her...

[Nohime]

That thought intrigued her. Living on a ship? It sounded very interesting, after all she had only been on a ship once in her life and it was a fairly...decent travel time. She enjoyed being in his strong arms. Compared to him, she looked like a delicate flower...which made his comment about her being a flower make more sense. She smiled then lifted her head and kissed Gan Ning. "If you want to live on a ship, I would be happy to give it a shot," she told him. "It would be nice. The sea all around us. After all, it is where you are most confident, aren't you?"

She smiled before kissing him again. "Also, I wouldn't say that would be the worst scenario. The worst scenario would be living in that pitiful tent of mine," she laughed. "In fact, I think living on the ship would be the best scenario. After all, that would mean that Sun Jian would trust you enough to be his naval commander and we could be together nearly all the time." She hoped that he liked that idea and didn't feel like she was going to be clingy. She knew that occasionally he would need his alone time and so would she. To finish off what she was saying, she moved up and kissed Gan Ning again. Gods, she loved him.

[Kang Ren]

Gan Ning smiled, "Living on a ship would be good. But my love... There is no privacy. Even for the captain." He said, "Plus its considered bad luck to have a woman aboard a ship. Why? I don't know why. I can tell you that I've had some bad luck with a female stow away." Gan Ning said shaking his head. It was horrible. So much trouble for one little girl.

Gan Ning smiled when she spoke of her horrible tent. He took her in his arms again and kissed her, "It doesn't matter. The worst case scenario is when one of us has to leave the other. So lets not let that happen. As long as I am with you darling... I am fine." He kissed her gently one more time.

[Nohime]

Nohime couldn't help but be disappointed by his words. It was bad luck to have a woman on board a ship? Surely that was childish superstition. The ship she was on did quite well...until they pulled in...Maybe he was right, though she didn't want to admit it. She sighed sadly, but did agree that it was likely that a ship had no privacy for them, which was also disappointing. Suddenly, she felt Gan Ning take her in his arms and brought her up so he could kiss her again. She moaned softly before he began to speak again.

She smiled at his words. "It will be sad when we temporarily have to part ways...but that will be inevitable in times of battle..." she replied softly and sadly. "...After all, you will become a naval commander and I don't do so well on ships...Still, I am sure we will both be fine." She returned his next kiss with her own soft kiss, and after she finished kissing his lips, she lowered her head slightly and kissed his neck before laying her head down on his chest again.
