"Kagome please take me with you. I promise to behave," Souta pleads with his older sister. His brown eyes stare up at his sister with that all too adorable gaze that seems to work for every child across the world as he begs. Then he decides to change tactics and states the reasons he should be allowed to go. "Sis, you said yourself that not much would propably happen on this trip, that mainly you were going to help take care of a wounded Sango and Miroku. Can't you please take me with you, I can even keep Shippo occupied. I promise not to be a burden." Kagome couldn't figure out any arguments to what he said and nods stepping aside so that her brother could run upstairs to pack. Kagome looks at her mother who was beaming next to her grandfather.
Souta grips Kagome's hand tightly as they fall into the wall and he feels as if he is going to fall forever. His stomach feels all twisted inside as he shuts his eyes tightly. Then he finds himself standing on solid ground and releases his sister's hand as embarresment colors his face. "Inuyasha," Kagome calls out loudly then turns her attention to her brother. "So, do you have a girlfriend at school?" Souta blushes as he stammers " No, there's this annoying girl that likes me but I don't like her back. Don't you like Inuyasha," he asks and watches his sister's cheeks turn pink before she looks away. "Kagome, that you," The hanyou asks as he peers over the well's edge and to his suprise finds a wide eyed boy staring up at him in shock.
Shippo inspects the stranger by crawling all over him and sniffing his clothes and hair before saying " You smell funny." Souta laughs at the familar words and retorts casually back "You look funny." Shippo plops into the boy's lap and watches him play solataire. A few days earlier the fox demon had come with Kagome to visit. "I want to go play at the hotspring,"Shippo complains and Sango tosses them both fluffy, white towels as she says "Be careful."
Souta shivers as he wraps the towel around his small form and laughs at Shippo who looks as if he stuck his finger in the light socket and then tried to use a crimper. "Come play with me," a mysterious voice calls and Souta turns to spot a boy who looks only a few years older than himself. He approaches the boy near the forest grabbing his clothes and says" Who are you, why are you all alone." The boy smirks and lifts the boy up into his arms carefully making sure that the towel didn't fall off the boy. "Shippo,"Souta yells franticly kicking at the boy but the boy's lips found his silencing him more effectivly than anyone else ever had before. "My Master shall be proud of me that I caught you so easily." Souta stares up at the boy noticing the freckles across the bridge of the boy's nose and the ebony black bangs that cover his eyes.
Shippo rushes over to the group and yells"Kohaku stole him, accually Souta approached him as I was drying off and then Kohaku grabbed Souta and ran away with him." Inuyasha sniffs the air trying to capture either boy's scent and says "Sango watch over the letch and the brat. Kagome and I will go rescue that kid." Inuyasha hoists the girl onto his back and begins running towards the forest where Kohaku's scent was strongest.
Souta clings to the boy's neck as Kohaku jumps over the logs scattered across the floor easily and quickly, all in all Souta is terrified that the boy might drop him. Since he is fully dressed now he could grip onto the boy tightly without having to worry about his towel. It had felt strange to have someone watching him get dressed but he knew that the boy wouldn't let him out of his sights. "I'm afraid. Why do you have to run so fast? Why are you doing this to me? Who is your Master? What is your name?" The boy stops running and sets Souta onto his feet as he says"Would you rather I left you here for the wolves to make a meal out of?" Souta shakes his head and looks up at the boy with pouty lips. "My name is Kohaku, Master Naraku wants you to hurt so that your sister shall suffer. I don't see why you would care." Souta clings to Kohaku by wrapping his arms around his neck, his legs around the boy's waist, and burys his head against Souta's chest.
"Kohaku, I'm hungry. Don't you have any food?" Souta feels the boy stop running and then he is thrown onto the dirt as Kohaku snaps"You are not worth the trouble. I can't stand your damn questions anymore." Souta fearfully watches as the boy raises a weapon that looks like a scythe on a chain and says quickly "If I stop asking so many questions will you kiss me again." Now he really will kill me. He's a boy, I shouldn't be thinking about him like that. But look at those soft lips,so kissable, and that creamy skin. What am I thinking? The pain never came but Souta's eyes flutter open as he notices that warm, soft lips are pressing against his own. Souta takes Kohaku's hands in his own and says softly"I like you, deep down you seem really sweet."
Kohaku shakes his head and lifts the boy up into his arms as he says"I killed my family, I am nothing.We better hurry before Master Naraku gets made. If you obey him then you wont get hurt." The boy in his arms kisses his neck before whispering in his ear "If I behave will you kiss me?" Kohaku smiles and says "Yes."
