*LEMON!

Chapter 2:

---

"Y-Youko?"

He brushed the tip of his nose softly against her neck letting his breath warm the corners of her collarbone. He looked at her eyes again, serious, firm and certain.

"Botan. ."

He spoke as he lovingly caress her blushing cheeks.

"I can't hold it back any longer. . I need you. . "

Botan misunderstood Youko's intention, which was to confess his feelings, his love for her. Instead, she thought he was only after her "flesh" upon seeing her bare like that.

Before Youko had the chance to continue his words, Botan has delivered a slap on his face. He was shocked. . . he looked at her with his golden eyes wide open and wondering.

Tears had began to form on Botan's eyes.

"Stop it! . . how dare you Kurama! how could you?! I'm not a bitch that you can you just jump into whenever you feel like it! "

With that, Youko let go of his hold and transformed back into Kurama. He was so embarassed and disappointed at himself, he couldn't face Botan after what he did.

He got the towel from the other side of the bed, helped Botan up and wrapped it around her to cover her nakedness. Botan blushed. This sudden change of action, from aggressive to gentle and subtle made her confused. She wanted to ask him to clear her puzzled thoughts, but her lips won't let her utter a single word.

"I'm sorry Botan. . " he started hesitantly, for the first time in both his yokai and human life, he was not sure of what to say or how to say it.

"I'm sorry. . I didn't know what came over me. . I just. ." he continued facing the carpeted floor

"Kurama, I will always be here for you, to help you out in anyway that I can, you know that. .but. . please. .don't toy with my feelings"

That's when it came to him, how Botan must've misunderstood his intentions from earlier. He was finally able to face her again, ever more sincere, he looked deep in her confused pink eyes hoping it would help clear the cloud in her thoughts.

"Ever since I started living as Kurama, I can't help but adapt human emotions Botan. I was. . able to develop cowardness and fear in accepting my emotions. . so as Kurama, I could hardly talk to you and tell you what I've been wanting to say. .what I've. . always wanted to let you know. . I'm really sorry"

"Kurama?"

What are you saying? why are you saying this now Kurama?

She thought as she tries to supress her long kept admiration for the young man in front of him. As she tries unsuccessfully to keep her love for him unnoticed.

"Me as Youko as however. . kept the aggressiveness of the yokai that I am. . or was. .being rather frank and willful. and lately. . that inner side of me had been growing immensely tired of holding back how I feel for you Botan. . how I . . I love you. . Botan."

He wholeheartedly confessed.

"And I'm sorry. . I'm sorry that I have to let it go this far just to be able to tell you this Botan. I didn't mean for it to end up this way. I guess, I just can't stand seeing the chance of you being mine slowly slip away. "

He caressed her cheeks even blushing more than before at what she heard. But the last of his statement made her question

"Uh. . Kurama. . w-what do you mean slip away? I . . I'm not going anywhere, am I?"

He coldly stared at the futon mattress Yusuke has left in Botan's room when he was there. That's when Botan realized

Yusuke? could it be possible that he's. . .actually jealous of Yusuke? O_O

She couldn' help but giggled at the thought

"Hnh? uh. . was there something that I. ."

"Are you thinking about Yusuke?" she asked smiling

"I will admit, I am rather jealous of him. It seemed to me he's always a step ahead of me in getting closer to you"

Kurama was surprised when Botan has held his cheek in her soft hands, carefully caressing the part where she had slapped him earlier. This made him blush.

"I'm sorry about earlier, I hope it didn't hurt that bad. . you really surprised me"

"You had the right to defend yourself, besides it's a good thing you did, honestly I don't know what else I could've done to you as Youko"

"What? you mean rape me? " Botan joked laughing but Kurama only smiled and answered

"No. . make love to you"

Botan was pretty much embarassed at her joke.

"But I guess you might have considered it as rape if it's a one sided love" Kurama laughed fakely, hoping Botan would see his statement as a joke.

Instead, Botan rested her head on his shoulder whispering

"Who said it was a one sided love?"

Kurama was surprised at what he heard, or at least he thought he heard. He thought he was probably hearing things until Botan looked up on his charming face, reaching in his enigmatic eyes and continued

"I've always loved you"

Unconsciously, Kurama's eyes turned golden yellow as he reaches down to her hoping for a serene kiss. Botan tangled her fingers into Kurama's silky red hair as they shared a passionate kiss. She paused for a moment as she felt the Fox ears on the way of her brushing fingers.

"Are you worried seeing me like this?" He asked in deep concern

She smiled assuring him that everything is alright as she shook her head negating

"I trust you, as much as I love you"

With that, Youko continued to kiss her lovingly. He pauses every now and then to trail light kisses down her chin, further to her neck and collarbone.

It tickled her. In return, she nips on his fox ears as she rubs her uncertain fingers down his nape. That was how he had always dreamt it would feel;

electrifyingly romantic. He wagged his tail in pleasure. His kisses continued to move lower down until it reached her finely shaped bosoms. She blushed deeper as he gently removed the fabric keeping their skins apart. He carefully gave her left bosom a lick while his hand lovingly massages the other. She couldn't help but let out a soft moan. It was an inviting sound as his ears twitched in more excitement.

---=MISSING PARAGRAPH HERE. . . SORRY=---

Finally, he has made her his as he was hers long before she knew. He tucked her in his everlasting embrace as they both fell asleep happy and contented in each other's loving fold.

They both hoped how that moment would never end. . but then again, it's just the FIRST night of the week.

Notes:

Not sure if I should continue this with a third chappy or just end it here, after all it was supposed to be just a one shot. . . hhmmm.. . by the way, I had to leave one long paragraph out which contains the "love scene's" complete details since I don't wanna end up being kicked off of due to explicitly mature content, if you want to read the full chappy though with the left out part on this version, just feel free to request the original from me, I'll be more than happy to send it so you can enjoy the full chapter, thanks for reading and hope you enjoyed it for now ^_^
