I felt her lose control over her ki. without realising it I hit her on the right spot of her neck. She gasped in shook and passed out. I hurriedly pushed her beside me so that she was resting on my bed. I gasped and covered my lower part with a pillow. I was panting so much due to all the excitement she sparked inside me that I banged my head again and again on the wall behind. If she had gone any further, i'd have lost my morale. Though I'm on the verge of losing it even now. I started to laugh when I recalled everything that happened a while ago.
"She freaked me out!" I exclaimed. In some other situation I might have enjoyed it but...I looked at her sleeping face which now appeared so innocent. Nah, I'd have freaked out in any situation. I'm the one who is in command of everything. She on the other hand is always so shy. I sighed.
"I must really have upset her so much that she acted so strangely. " absent minded I stroked her hair out of her face.
I behaved strangely too on my part. It's unlike me. But now that my mind is clear, why was I talking that way? I gasped. It was youko. He was making me this way. I frowned, where is he right now? Maybe with that knife I've injured him too. Maybe it's the first time in centuries that I lost my cool. Was it all his doing? My head started to hurt. I think I should get some sleep to think straight. I looked at ray laying there. She is so beautiful. Her pale skin, long black hair, those high cheek bones, everything about her is so adorable. But the intensity through which her red eyes looked at me today...my skin still tingled wherever she had touched. I took the blanket from the edge of my bed and spread it both of us. I cuddled her in my arms as I laid to sleep and she eagerly came to me. I breathed her scent in. It was so relaxing to be beside her.
"Sorry" I said and squeezed her closer. Snickering I said "you did give me a reason to not kill myself after all." And I slumped into the familiar blackness.
I woke up with the smell of roses all over me but kurama wasn't there. All the events of last night came back to me and I felt so embarrassed. How am I supposed to face him now? I quickly ran into the washroom and took a shower. Wearing a spare pair of clothes that I always kept at his home, I came downstairs and saw kurama there in the kitchen making breakfast. Averting my eyes I went and sat on the bar stool near the platform.
"Juice." I jumped at his voice "it's known to clear one's mind"
I looked up at him. He was grinning, an evil grin.
I frowned and said "mock me all you want" and drank the juice.
"Mocking? What mocking? Oh are you talking about last night?" I blushed as he got closer to me and look in my eyes "actually, I quite enjoyed it. I'd even like to continue where we stopped last night."
I blushed hard and looked down unable to say anything. After a pause suddenly he hugged me tightly, his face buried in my neck.
"Thank goodness. You are back to normal. I promise that you will never have to be that way again. After all I'm the one with the lead right?"
I hugged him back closing my eyes. He is back to normal too. Then he moved back and cupped my cheeks with his hands looking in my eyes "the way you are now, shy, is the best" my heart started to race.
Then he moved back and brought our breakfast. Everything that he made was tasty, even something as simple as sandwiches.
"Really but where did you actually learn these...things. Don't tell me...you fantasise about me?" He asked with a fake shook on his face. I blushed again. I never actually fantasised or anything, but I've always been attracted to him too much. Though I'd always been embarrassed whenever he kissed me which in turn amused him.
"Should I take your silence as yes?"
"No!"
He said with disappointment "so you never ever fantasised about me..."
"Come on stop! Ok I'm sorry about last night. So stop teasing me." He laughed out loud as he got up to wash the dishes.
"I should be the one saying sorry." He said after a while without turning back. "Never have I ever lost myself like how I did last night. If it wasn't for you, i'd have gone insane. Thank you."
Feeling my heart sink inside. I asked "but why did you behave that way?"
"Youko." He said immediately. "since I tried to kill myself, he must have thought to actually destroy me instead of just taking over me. So he tried to corrupt my mind completely with all the guilt that I ever had in life."
I stood up "why though? I mean isn't he a part of you? Why would a part of you wants to corrupt you?"
"Because I tried to throw him away. It was my fault that I only thought about my human part." He washed the last plate and wiping his hands turned around.
"That time in the demon world, I choose my ningen part without thinking of the consequences. And so my demon part, now free, tried to control me."
There was a brief silence after which I asked "is there a way to fix it?"
"Yes. I just have to merge both forms of mine together." Saying so he took my hands and pulled me in his arms. "Don't worry. I just have to handle it correctly and everything will be fine again."
I sighed as I buried my face in his perfectly built chest.
"I also realised, how important you are to me." He snorted "and you have just opened my mind in the wrong direction since last night" he moved me back to look in my eyes. He had the genuine expression of affection in his eyes. It's as if he was staring at something deep through my eyes.
"I'll really have a hard time controlling myself from now on." Saying so he slowly leaned and kissed me. I put my hands around him as he kissed me deeper. It felt as if he was kissing my soul too. So gentle, like he was trying to show me how much he loves me and yet so intense. I melted completely in his arms while his kisses became more needy.
Just then I realised that someone was calling his name.
"Suichi? I'm home." It was his mother. But he gave back no reply, just kept kissing me while tracing my neck line.
"Suichi? Are you there?" She was coming closer. my senses came back to me and I tried to push him back on which he only tightened his grip. Then I saw his eyes, filled with amusement. I frowned and finally punched him in the gut on which he let go and turned around and at the same time mother came in.
"There you...oh my ray I'm so glad to see you." I smiled while I prayed that she doesn't notice my reddened face and deep breathing.
"Yeah mother. She came last night to celebrate my birthday." I looked at him and gaped. He stood there smiling and looking as normal and innocent as an angel. As if nothing happened here just seconds ago.
I coughed and said "yeah"
The next hour we sat and talked about all the plans we are making for the afternoon celebration.
Then I got up to take my phone from his room. I felt him before i walked into his room.
"nice show last night. " said hiei sitting very comfortably on kurama's bed with a smirk on his face.
"you jerk! You saw everything?"
"nope. But i saw you saving him. Good job. " he said, all of a sudden getting serious.
I looked down, on the verge of crying. "will he be fine? "
"he is kurama after all. "
"ofcouse I'll be." i yelped and looked over my shoulder in time to see kurama embrace me.
"sorry for the inconvenience hiei."
Hiei got up from the bed glaring at kurama, as he went towards the window. "really don't do the lovey-dovey in front of me please. And also, i just came to tell you kurama, if you try something similar to that stunt last night, then I'll personally kill you. You were my partner. Instead of dying a pathetic suicide death I'll give you the privilege to die from my honorable hands. " saying so, he disappeared from the window.
Kurama stood there, holding me tightly for a while. Then he buried his face in my neck. He snickered and said "really. He doesn't know how to express himself at all. "
I giggled too then. He turned me around and smiled at me with those kind emerald eyes.
"i love you." i blurted. His eyes widened for a second then he hugged me very tightly.
"i love you too." he finally said.
"and-" i stepped out of his embrace and held his face in my hands. "-happy birthday kurama. "
And we kissed as the smell of roses surrounded us.
THE END
I donnot own yuyu hakusho or kurama or anything related to it. All I own is ray/raven.
