A small, wispy sigh escapes Kahmori's lips as he stares out the viewport that he was lucky enough to find a seat beside. The empty blackness of space. The soft twinkle of stars shimmering in the distance, hundreds or thousands of light years away. It had a sort of comforting feel to it, drifting through an endless void. Not that he'd wanna do it without a good ship around him (Or, judging by the condition of the ship they were currently on, just 'a ship'), but it drew his mind off of problems that were a bit closer to home.<br/><br/>Namely, they were broke. It was lucky enough to get on this shuttle. Still, they had just enough money left for a couple of hot dogs, and maybe a hotel room for a night or two. Beyond that, things were sketchy. No money, nowhere to go - heck, it was a throwback to his life fifteen years ago. Thrilling times, fun times...but dangerous ones, too. When you never knew where your next meal was going to come from, where you'd be sleeping, or even who'd be the one tightening the noose around your neck...<br/><br/>It all came down to one question. Was it worth it?<br/><br/>Peering down at the sleeping figure beside him, her head leaned gently against his shoulder, the look of contentment on her face, the tiny smile on her muzzle as she slept so soundly, peacefully...<br/><br/>Yes. It was worth this, and more.<br/><br/>Kahmori's hand softly brushes through Sheva's hair as it had been doing for the past few hours. He'd not managed a wink of sleep - his mind had been a whirlwind of activity. How to access his funds. How they were going to survive the next few weeks. Even who, exactly, it was that was after Sheva - and why. He'd never come right out and ask her, and had no intention of doing so - it was her choice if she wanted to tell him or not. She'd tell him when she was ready. Not that it really mattered to him. Though he wouldn't openly admit it to anyone but Tommy...he'd fallen for the girl. Her sweet little smile. Her beautiful, shimmering eyes. Her gorgeous, jaw-dropping body. Her gentle, but flirting personality. When she'd first started working for him, she'd seemed so tense, so nervous...<br/><br/>How beautiful it was to watch those worries slowly melt away, allowing him to see the beautiful, sweet girl beneath. When she finally realised, at least for a time, she was safe...it had been heartwarming. Her smiles, her laughter, her little teases...<br/><br/>Yes. It was worth it.<br/><br/>Just the look of contentment as she leaned against his shoulder, knowing she was perfectly safe there....it made him smile.<br/><br/>Now, what in the hell to do about the financial situation. He was hungry, he was sleepy...and more than a little bit irritated at the little perverted glances his sleeping companion had gotten. Those glances had finally been averted (at least some) when Kahmori had met the gaze of a few of the more 'intense gazers'...and licked his lips suggestivly. Almost hungrily. It had only been part-bluff. He was hungry enough to almost be in the mind to do it - but that would just cause a scene. Something neither of them wanted.<br/><br/><blockquote><div><cite>PA system wrote:</cite> Attention all passengers. The shuttle will be arriving at Kiwara Station in under ten minutes. The staff advises you to collect your possessions at this time. </div></blockquote><br/><br/>The crackling voice of the PA finally draws Kahmori out of his innermost thoughts, a soft sigh escaping his lips. Well, it was almost time. What did they have to get - he'd brought a handful of various components, a few changes of clothes, and some basic hygiene stuff. All he'd managed to grab before he'd blown his place sky high. One dufflebag full of stuff - heck, it was nearly not enough to bother carrying. Still, it's what he had.<br/><br/>Once again ,his icy-blue eyes drift down to the beautiful, sleeping figure nestled into the crook of his arm, head resting against his shoulder. She looked so peaceful - but, time to get up! Now, how to go about waking her up....<br/><br/>A devious little smirk slowly creeps across his muzzle. The exact way he'd love to be woken up...<br/><br/>Lifting a hand, he gently places his thumb against her cheek, stroking it softly along the soft, warm fur of her cheek and jaw. Tilting his head down, he gently eases his tongue from between his lips, running it a single, sensual time across the inside of her left ear, leaving a tiny, wet feeling in it's wake. His voice, soft as silk, whispers into her ear, so gentle and sexy and deep "Wakie wakie, sleepytush. We're there...time for a new day of fun and excitement. Wakie waaaaakeyyyyyyy...."<br/><br/>The arm around her shoulders squeezes her tightly against his body, surrounding her in the welcoming warmth and softness of his fur, hiding the harder, toned body beneath. Without even giving her time to start to rouse from her slumber, he snakes his hand down and slips it just beneath her rear, giving one of her buttcheeks a hard, teasing little squeeze, his fingers toying with the nice little tush that had found it's way into his hand. If THAT didn't give her one heck of a wakeup call, nothing would.<br/><br/>"Mmm...such a cute little rear you have. Should have taken advantage while you were asleep! Could have oogled it all I wanted to! And done...this!" Another teasing little squeeze in an effort to rouse the sleeping kitsune, his fingers slipping a bit more firmly beneath her rear "In fact, go ahead and go back to sleep. I'll just squeeze your cute little butt to entertain myself in the meantime."
