Keshiki, Kurai, Fuyu & Minora are mine. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Yomi
eyed the fire demon and the reincarnated youko as they entered back to the
throne room after their private talk.
The makai lord unconsciously expelled a relieved sigh at the smile
Kurama gave him. For a while
he thought... he had been anxiously feeling, discerning the feelings
between the fire demon and the youko.
Afraid to find something deeper than being just best friends. In fact if someone asked him, he would rather have the youko
next to him for the rest of the visit.
Just to make sure. He
had always loved the redheaded kitsune despite all the grievances the
youko had given him in the past. He
didn't care. He wanted Kurama. He knew how much Kurama's ningen aspect had considerably
mellowed down the wild youko spirit.
Kurama was more beautiful, more irresistible than ever now that he
had a gentler, more human side. Yomi
fully intended to woo the kitsune during his whole visit in the makai. *************** Kurama
came to stand next to Yomi. The
makai lord smiled at him, holding the youko's hand fast. Kurama's ready smile wavered a little. It was as if Yomi was shackling him to his side.
Kurama's preservation instinct as a human, told him to run as fast
as he could to the ningenkai, but his youko aspect turned his proud nose
at the very idea of running. He intended to get to the bottom of Yomi's affectionate
gestures. The redhead
resigned himself, but winced a bit as Yomi's other hand encircled his
slender waist. The kitsune assumed a blank, emotionless face.
Yomi guided him gently toward a throng of important makai
personalities. The youko
almost threw himself at Yusuke in relief, when they bumped into him. "Hey,
Kurama." Yusuke
hollered. The former reikai
tantei eyed Yomi's possessive hand on Kurama's waist and stared at the
youko's pleading gaze. "Can
I steal Kurama for a while?" Kurama
disengaged himself quickly and grabbed Yusuke, leaving a frowning Yomi. *************** "God,
Kurama. Are you and Yomi
getting married or something?" The
brown-haired boy asked. "Do
I look like a happy camper to you?"
Inari I sound like a whining woman.
The youko covered his face. "So,
you are getting married." Yusuke
said, stunned. Kurama
hastily looked around if someone heard and glared at Yusuke. "I
AM NOT! Please shut up!"
Kurama hissed. "Anyhow, thanks. That
was getting suffocating out there." The redhead smiled weakly at his friend. "Kurama
you are in deep shit." Yusuke
remarked, shaking his head. "I
know it. I should not have
gone back here." "But
Hiei needs us, more importantly, he needs you.
You were the closest friend he ever had next to Mukuro." Kurama's
heart ached a little at being considered "next to Mukuro" and he
silently marveled at the alien thought.
The youko unconsciously massaged his left collarbone. "I
know that, but Yomi's making this very complicated."
The youko bit his lip. ******************************* ******************************* |
