Ch.4 – To Beg

"I may be older then you by quite a bit kit, but that just gives me more experience to please her with." Youko smirked as he flexed his claws, his aura pulsing out as his seven tails flicker behind him. "Now either answer my question or run along before someone gets hurt."

"The only one getting hurt would be you as I crush your heart before you can get to her." Shippo growls, also flexing his claws while his three tails swish angrily behind him. But just as they're rushing towards each other, Youko is thrown back by a huge surge of holy power. He lands in the water with the most ungraceful splash. Shippo, on the other hand, is still standing upon the rock with the fought over female before him, her arms around his neck as a hand instinctively wraps around her waist. "What are you doing here? You should be in bed by now." He voice changes from a warning growl to a soft almost-purr.

"I had a nightmare again, and then I felt a strong energy pulse. Oh Shippo, I couldn't help but think the worst! I know you can handle yourself but I still worry. Please come back home with me!" She sniffed as a tear trickled down her cheek.

Youko surfaces just in time to witness her tear fall to join the water. "Perhaps I may be of some assistance. I've very good at chasing away nightmares." He purrs.

"Oh." She leans down, her face inches from his with her watery eyes. "You weren't going to hurt my Shippo were you? I love him dearly and would be heartbroken if anything happened…"

"…um…. Well… No…" Youko didn't know what to do. Her eyes were so pleading. He felt ashamed for nearly attacking someone obviously important to her and yet, he couldn't help but let his mind trail into the gutter. Those begging eyes, if only they would beg for something more… intimate. So while the kit was distracted he quickly grabbed hold of the collar of her sleeping yukata and pulled her closer as he jumped into the canopy, drenching the kit with the disturbed water. He pinned her gently to a tree, leaving her hands at her sides. He shifted his head closer, their noses brushing. "What would you beg from me little vixen?" He purred, never once letting her brake eye contact.

"…nani?" Her eyes widened as he gently took hold of one of her ears, his other hand still holding onto her collar.

"Would it be something like this?" He crooned as he began to softly massage her delicate appendage. "Would you…" He gave her a fanged grin when her ear unconsciously shifted into his touch and her eyes closed slightly. "Beg me not to stop?"
