I was utterly confused with the words Kiri had spoken.

"What?" I whisper, voice raw.

Kiri swallows and looks at me.

"My family has always wanted me to grow up and marry a big strong warrior. It is what all women are set to do. I don't like men, I find no attraction towards them. That is not the only thing. I was born different. I-I have male and female organs." Kiri blushes in shame as she looks down. Now it was my turn to comfort her.

"No Kiri, you are beautiful just the way are." I tell her, lifting her chin ever so slightly.

"You think that?" Her voice breaking. I softly bring my lips to hers and place a kiss on her lips.

Pulling apart, I nod.

Kiri smiles as she hugs me and pulls me into a more deeper and passionate kiss. A hungry one at that.

Treading water, we both kiss, hungry and lustful, we had both finally found someone like each other.

The following days, me and Kiri had kept our 'relationship' a secret. We didn't want anyone finding out and forbidding us from seeing one another.

We slid in small kisses here in there and hand holding in public, or just flirting, which no one paid much attention to anyway.

It was at night, me and Kiri would meet one another and enjoy the late nights.

I had found out Kiri was something humans called, Intersex, which she thought was weird and I thought was beautiful.

I had never felt this way before with someone but Kiri made me feel so loved and actually wanted.

And I made her feel the same way.

One day I was taken by my Kiri to our Marui. She led me and the pinned me against one of the walls.

I smirked as she began to place kisses all over my face and just above my chest. I let out small gasps and sounds as she did so.

"What the hell?!" We both pulled apart to see Ronal and Jake.

"Dad!" Kiri exclaims, both of us blushing furiously.

"What? What were you doing?!" Jake shouts at his daughter.

"Dad, I can explain!" Kiri protests but she is interrupted by my mother.

"You," she points at me with a scowl. "How dare you. We warned you what would happen if you continued to be this way!"

"Well I don't care!" I shout, the first time I've actually lashed out at her. "I love Kiri! You can't do this to us!"

Ronal scoffs and grabs my arm and pulls me away from the Marui.

"You are forbidden from seeing her. And if you disobey, don't even bother calling us your family." She spits as tears start rushing down my face.

I swallow as she storms off and leaves me there.

I began to think,

Do I even need them? I have Kiri and Kiri has me.

Taking this chance, I walked away to find Kiri.
