She ran through the dark forest, her breath heavy and side cramping from the speed and distance of her run. Short gasps of air pierced her lungs as she forced her legs to keep moving. He would be gone in only a few minutes, back to his time, where or whenever that was-gone for a time that was too long for her liking. Perhaps even eternity.
Her legs burned as the muscles worked harder to speed her up. It was near, she could see the clearing, and in it, his slender yet muscular figure. She smiled and allowed herself to come to a stop, gasping for air as he turned to look at her.
“You made it,” he said, quietly. “I was beginning to worry.” She merely nodded, unable to speak as her body recovered from what it had just endured. “You’re shaking.” He placed his hands gently on her arms and she gratefully leaned into him, using his body for support.
“H-how, how long do you have?” she managed, her breath coming back to her, along with her words.
“A few minutes,” he said almost sadly, as his hands wandered her body, slowly undoing the tie that held the thin kimono she wore shut. “But enough for an eternity of happiness.”
“Eternity…” she looked up at him. “That’s a long time…”
“Not nearly long enough.” He wrapped his arms around her, engulfing her in a kiss that she eagerly returned, letting the kimono slip to the wet ground, her feet rising from the ground as he picked her up, backing her into the trunk of a nearby tree. Their lips never left skin, and occasionally they would meet for a kiss, each one as passionate as the one before, as if it were their last.
