Chapter 19: Voices in the Dark
Far from the Yoko's well concealed lair in a metal jungle of buildings, a lone figure stood facing a sheet of glass staring down at the pavement below.
'So Kurama has taken an interest in a human for a possible mate. How interesting. How predictable. Kurama, you disappoint me. But the girl would make a better target then the mother for my plans.'

Kaiya woke to her body needs. She had no idea what time it was or even if it was day or night. She remembered Yoko coming in where she was reading and slamming her against a wall. She remembered him carrying her back into the bed room. She remember . . .
'Damn that Yoko! I'm sore!' she groaned softly, hissing in pain. Yoko was always rough in their love making but last night, he was quite sadistic. However, if she was truthful, she loved every moment of it.
A hand shot out as she moved off the bed. "And where do you think you're going, little vixen?"
Looking over at Yoko, she sighed, "Can I at least go to the bathroom?" She winced as she moved her leg. "I don't want to have an accident."
He chuckled, letting go. "Why don't you then go into the hot springs? I'll meet you there."
After she took care of her needs, she sighed. His suggestion of a hot bath sounded lovely.
The water felt blissful against her bruised body as she sunk deeper into the water. Closing her eyes, she allowed scenes from their love making filter through her thoughts as a slight smile curved on her lips.
She was startled a bit as two strong hands moved on her shoulders. "I was a bit rough on you, little vixen," came his voice as he settled on the ledge behind her.
She nodded as she let out a sigh of contentment. "Yes you were, but you don't hear me complaining."

Yoko massaged Kaiya's shoulders as he slipped into the water behind her, molding her body against his. She felt so good in his arms. He noted the bruises forming on her skin where he had used plants and his own strength in their bedroom romp.
Feeling her relax under his fingers, at least she wasn't afraid of him which had been a concern of Shuichi's. Humans can be so anal retentive about sex.
/Yet/ came Kurama's voice. /Remember, she has to agree to this before anything happens. Get on with it./
'Patience, Red.'
"We need to talk, little vixen."
"Hmm? What about?"
Nuzzling her neck, Yoko's hands moved off her shoulders to fondle her breasts, "Do you know why I had you remove your charm?"
"Uhhh no?"
"Because it hides your kitsune blood. You are very desirable, Kaiya. You have strength and fire. A sweet scent that says you are a breeding female kitsune," he purred in her ear.
"I know that, Yoko. So why did you want me to remove it?" Kaiya said as she leaned back against him.
He chuckled. "You are coming into heat, little vixen. It muffled your scent." Turning her around to face him, he cuffed her chin forcing her to look into his eyes.
"Heat?"
"I want you to have my kit, little vixen."

In the shadows of the dojo, a troubled spirit stood. In his mind, he heard the voices of his past.
"Yahiko! Where are you hiding?"
"Ugly! Quit dawdling!"
"Oro?"
"Man, I'm starving, Little Missy!"
"Leave Sir Ken alone!"
"Mama? When is papa coming home?"
The troubled spirit moved into the moonlight that was filtering through the dojo's window. So many voices. The voices of his past, but as the spirit started to fade in the moonlight, he stopped. Moving to a defensive stance, he peered at the door.
Something is out there. There was an evil aura just outside the dojo compound. The dojo was being watched.

"WHAT?"
Yoko smirked at her reaction. He had been expecting that reaction. "You heard me little vixen. Trust me when I say, I've never asked anyone that question before and as far as I know, I have no offspring roaming around."
"Why me, then?" She asked, searching his face for clues.
/Go easy on her, Yoko. Her heart is racing./
Brushing his lips against hers before answering, he purred softly, "Because you, little vixen have been something I've been searching for, for a very long time. Because it would make our human mother happy." He didn't say anything about love or need. He was a demon after all. Even though he had learn how to love, he felt it wasn't necessary in a relationship.
He watched as emotions flickered across her face. She seemed disappointed for some reason. She was so easy to read sometimes. Thankfully, she wasn't the type that blurt out her answers.
"Yoko?"
"Yes little vixen?"
"What about Shuichi?"
"What about him?"
"He is okay with this? I mean, I know you two share the same body but won't it be his baby too?"
"It's complicated, little vixen. Shuichi and I may share the same body, however, we are two different souls. It is a merger, not a possession. When we mate, it'll be me you'll be receiving, not him."
"I see, but is he alright with this?"
"We've discussed it, and he understands what I want. He will love and raise the kit, although it is mine, it'll be his as well. It'll be as if the kit will have two fathers."
"Three fathers Yoko," she corrected him.

So any clues what her answer will be? Thanks for the reviews, guys. I'm a little leery about this sequel. I hope it can live up to your expectations.
Until next time. Keep on reading and reviewing. --GF
