Her eyes closed as she breathing in the smell of him. How could it come to this. Listening to his heartbeat she took a deep breath. His words tugged at her heartstrings and made her stomach dip. She had never heard anything quite like what he had just said to her. Slowly, she pulled her head away from his chest and looked up at him, her eyes meeting his. Without thinking anymore, she just acted. She stretched up on her tiptoes and touched her lips quickly to his. Just a touch.

"You won't get in trouble will you? I mean, Isn't this what he wanted? You to actually accept and give love." Her voice was quiet. She was still processing everything. His words echoed through her head once more. "I wish I could have met you in a previous life. you know," She smiled a small smile. "When i was actually a goddess and could leave earth. That would be easier."

Taking a deep breath, She looked around her and took in the beautiful view. She was preoccupied when she first arrived and hadn't paid much attention. "Where are we?" She asked Leon and took a step back, looking in every direction. "It's beautiful here."

The world seemed to tilt on its axis as Leon pressed his forehead to Jo's, showing her the memories of his sin. I was nothing like she was afraid of at all. When he pulled away she felt a sudden chill, like a hard, cold wind was blowing, despite the warm and sunny weather. Her mind was reeling, but then he was talking again. Jo continued to stare blankly up at him and blinked occasionally, not fully processing everything that he was saying at the time. Noting the slight color to his face, she cocked her head to the side and blinked again, finally coming back to the present.

"In return?" She asked confused. 'Leon I hardly know you. I met you not even a week ago and you introduced me to a while new world that I had no idea even existed. I have experienced so many different things this past week. I don't even know what to say or how to process any of this." She reached up and touched his cheek, drawing a line down his jaw with her fingers.

"And yet," She added as his eyes betrayed his feelings. "And yet...my answer is yes. Completely. Irrevocably. Undeniably." She smiled, showing her teeth. "I could go on." Her cheeks heated with a blush, but she knew this would only end painfully. "Leon." She stopped suddenly. "You said my name." Her grin grew wider. "You called me Jo." That simple act actually meant more to her than he could possibly know. She enjoyed the name goldfish though, but her name on his lips sounded heavenly.

"Leon. We can't. Once you're forgiven... Once your mark is gone, you're gone. You'll go where I can't follow. We can't." Her eyes dropped but she kept her hand on his cheek.

Isn't that how it always is?

Feeling about 3 inches tall, Jo sat up and folded her hands in her lap as she listened to Isabelle. "What was I supposed to think? He had be pinned to the bed unable to move and whispered that he had 'defiled a goddess'!" She shook her head and sighed. Her reaction had been far to off the deep end and she knew it. She had probably kicked him below the belt. "Can I go through, Isabelle?" She stood and came up beside Isabelle in front of the darkness.

Isabelle seemed to step to the side, and Jo walked sheepishly through the black hole. It seemed to go on forever. After a few more feet or inches she wasn't sure, she came to the light and blinked furiously as the sunlight nearly blinded her. Once her eyes adjusted, she spotted a figure in white just beside the water. "Leon," she called to him from a distance. She didn't want to startle him or intrude. "I'm sorry I over reacted just a little bit." She took a few steps toward him. "I can go, Isabelle." She stopped and pointed slightly over her shoulder. "Isabelle showed me."

"I feel that I owe you an explanation. I wasn't judging you, you have to understand that. But what you did...What I feel." She stopped, her voice shaking slightly. "I feel something for you that I know I shouldn't. It scares me. I know that it will only lead to heartache, but I can't seem to stop myself." She ran her fingers through her hair nervously. "Do you remember what you did when we first met? How you tried to seduce me? I was afraid you were trying to do that again."

She took a few more steps toward him as she continued, bringing her so close that she could reach out and touch his shoulder, but she didn't. She twisted her hands together in front of her. Staring at her hands, she continued, "I know you all need my help to get back. I understand that. It just seemed that you made me feel this way for you and had me help you and like you just to get to heaven again." A single tear slide down her cheek.

"I know I cannot love you. I know that, and I'm trying," She said forcefully. "I talked to Isabelle, and she told me that I kind of over reacted just a little." her fingers itched to touch his shoulder, but she stood still just behind him. "Please forgive me. I am so very sorry to come up short of your expectations. I would like to hear the rest of your story please," She added softly, still looking down at her hands.

*sticks tongue out*
Things are getting heated now! Oh no! At least she didn't slap him!

Jo dropped her head in her hands and let out a strangled cry after he slammed the door behind him. Silence. The only sound in the room was her ragged breathing as she tried to catch her breath. "I thought you were different," She half whispered half gasped. She jumped when the door open and she hastily wiped her eyes and face. Jo saw Isabelle carry in a tray and hurry over to her. Jo really liked this little girl.

"Oh, Isabelle, I feel so used." Jo shook her head and wiped her face again. "Leon's sin is nearly gone. He will be returning to heaven with you soon enough." She gave the little girl's hands a squeeze. "He told me what he did to get him banished. I feel like all he did was use me! Use me to get back to what he wanted!"

Jo stood up abruptly and paced around the room. "At first he thought seducing me would erase his sin and send him back, so he tried to force himself on me! Then they all figured out that wasn't the case so he stopped trying to. I thought he was really coming around. He even asked me to stay when he was in so much pain, and I did! I stayed and all he did was try to seduce me again probably just like he did that goddess that got him thrown out in the first place!"

Kicking at the rug covering most of the floor, she let out another angry cry and flopped onto her stomach on the bed with her face buried in the pillows. "Isabelle, I thought it was him making me feel this way when I was near him, but I don't think it is. I think it's just me. I think I like him," She mumbled into the pillows without looking up as Isabelle sat on the edge of the bed beside her.

Everything happened so quickly that Jo didn't even know what was happening, and by the time her senses caught up with her she was pinned beneath him, unable to move. The words he whispered in her ear made her stomach turn. In an instant she had went from thinking that she loved this man, to wanting nothing more than to kick him in the stomach and get as far away from him as possible. She had fallen for him, and he had done nothing but use her.

With both of her hands on his chest, she pushed as hard as she could, but couldn't move him. "Why does that not surprise me, Leon." She spat at him. Her tone dripping with venom. "I thought you were different and actually acting like you had some sense, but I was nothing but wrong. You did nothing but use me for your own personal gain and amusement!"

Jo's worst fears were confirmed as he pinned her down and all but leered at her. 'You are nothing but a sick man who doesn't know what is good for him if it bit him in the ass!" She pushed at him again and kicked her leg out. "Get off me! I never want to see you again! You used me!"

Tears flowed unbidden from her eyes, staining her cheeks once more. She couldn't tell if she was more hurt or angry. Mostly she was angry at herself for deluding herself into thinking that he actually felt something for her. "Leon. I am glad you got what you wanted." She wedged her knee underneath his stomach and pushed him off of her.

Jo sat down next to the girl, Jenny, she thought was her name and picked up her own turkey leg. "This is way too much food!" She looked around the dining hall and took note of all the different varieties of food and dragons too for that matter. The room seemed to be teeming with life. Jo still wasn't convinced that she was here because she spoke some funny language that connected her to these giant lizards. She moved her foot slightly under the table to make sure that her bags were still there.

"So," She started as she picked up some potatoes and beans and piled them onto her plate. "I'm Jo." She smiled at the others as they all sat around chatting and eating. "So does anyone know what we are actually doing here?"

Jo walked tentatively into the room and closed the door on all 5 sets of eyes behind her. Her cheeks were only slightly tear stained and she had made sure that her eyes didn't look to red or puffy. It would be ridiculous to be so upset over a guy she met three days ago, and yet she was. Her heart ached for him as she stood just inside the doorway. His hair was wet and matted to his forehead, his breathing was quick and slightly labored, his skin was ashen pale, and he had dark circles under his eyes. Jo almost couldn't bear to look at him.

What she truly wanted was to run to him with open arms and press his nose against the stubble on his cheek and just breath him in. Her questioning eyes took in the sight of the tattoo fading on his leg, and then it hit her. 'Once our sins are erased we can return to the heavens.' That was the deal, right? The thought almost brought her to tears again and made her want to run to him that much more. Instead, she walked over and gently sat on the edge of the bed on his right side. "are you alright?" She whispered.

Leon really did look awful, but in the grande scheme of things he was really getting what he wanted. To go home. With trembling fingers, Jo gently reached up and stroked the side of Leon's face, running her fingertip down the side of his jaw. She was memorizing the lines of his face, the contour of his muscles, the color of his eyes as he stared up at her with a sort of dazed look on his face. This man, the man that had nearly forced himself on her when they first met, the man who seemed to arrogant to be friendly with anyone, the man who she truly wanted to despise because of what he made her feel. This man is the man that she really wanted to stay on earth.

"I suppose you have what you came for then," She said quietly, trying to keep the hurt from her voice. "Once this is gone," She pointed to his mark, "You can take Isabelle and go back to the heavens, right?" She turned her face away so he couldn't see it anymore. "What was your sin anyway? It seemed like it didn't take hardly anything to fix it. We didn't do anything but sit and talk on the beach." Jo brushed her hair behind her ear and ran her hands over her face, taking a steady breath.

Her eyes once again met Leon's gold gaze, searching for answers. She reached her right hand up again and gently touched his cheek. "I am glad you are feeling better thought. You had me, had us all worried," She corrected and looked away again, leaving her hand resting lightly on his forearm.
