Kyora looked up at Kitana's farther with a complete look of bewilderment on his face. Takemaru grew impatient at Kyora's silence. He reached and grabbed Kyora by his neck and began to squeeze slightly.

"Answer Me Boy!"

"No-nothing my lord, nothing happened." Kyora choked out.

"Explain." Takemaru said, his eyes glowing red.

Kyora grabbed on to Takemaru's arm in an attempt to loosen his grip. It only made him tighten it.

" I met Kitana in the gardens, just like we had arranged. When I saw her she was crying..."

"And?" Takemaru asked almost choking the life out of Kyora.

"When I asked her what was wrong, she ran off."

Takemaru tightened his grip a little more.

"That's all?" Kyora's face began to turn purple.

"Y—yes my lord."

"You're sure?"

"Y-y-y-y-yes"

"Positi--"

"My lord I can't breath!" Kyora screamed with his last ounce of air.

Takemaru growled and dropped Kyora to the floor. Kyora grabbed his throat gasping and wheezing. Takemaru looked at Kyora with a great look of disgust as he sat back down at his desk.

"You know Kyora, I've never liked you. The only reason I even agreed to let you marry Kitana is because I promised your grandmother that I would join our families together and bring peace to Rosaria, but I warn you. If I find out you had anything to do with my daughter's disappearance and you won't live long enough to see anybodies wedding, let alone your own."

Kyora looked up at him with complete and total fear in his eyes. Takemaru turned away from him.

"Now get out."

...

Youko awoke the next morning. He was still a bit tired from the previous night and a bit hung over. He didn't like to admit it but Youko couldn't hold his alcohol well.

"Mmmm"

Youko's eyes opened wide at the sound of the soft moaning. He quickly leaned up and pulled the blanket off of him. There laying comfortably on Youko's stomach, was Kitana sound asleep.

Youko smiled down at her. Kitana looked so calm and peaceful. Youko felt as if he could watch her sleep forever.

"Mmm" Kitana moaned again, gripping Youko's shirt in her small hands. Youko reached under Kitana's arms and lifted her up so that she would be laying o his chest and put her down gently. Kitana rubbed her cheek up against Youko's chest softly and began wiggling around. Youko began to stroke Kitana's hair to settle her down but then Kitana's knee gently grinded against Youko's crotch.

Youko's cheeks turned a deep red as he felt his body responded to Kitana's accidental touch.

"Mmmm" Kitana moaned, a bit deeper than before. To Youko, the moan sounded a bit...lustful. Youko felt his body temperature begin to rise. He was so ashamed. Acting this way towards her, especially after what she had told him last night. Talk about being in bad taste.

Youko gently lifted Kitana up once more and rolled her over so that she would be lying beside him instead of on top. Kitana just sighed and snuggled to Youko and nuzzled her cheek on his chest. Youko sighed and wrapped his arms around the sleeping Kitsune. His eyes began to get a bit heavy and he decide that it wouldn't hurt if he slept for just a few more minutes.

...

Kyora snored loudly as he slept in his bed. The memories of the previous night haunting his dreams. Suddenly, he felt something heavy in the middle of his stomach Kyora groaned. Even though his eyes were closed he already knew what it was.

"Asami, please get off of me."

Asami giggled mischievously.

"Why would I want to do that big brother?"

Kyora opened his eyes to see a blond blue-eyed kitsune looking down at him grinning.

"Because if you don't I'm going to beat to death."

Asami frowned and hopped to the ground.

"You're no fun big brother."

Kyora got out of bed and looked out of his balcony window. The sun was just starting to rise.

"No one is any fun this early in the morning."

Kyora yawned and blinked.

"How'd you get in here anyway Asami? I gave the guards strict orders not to let you in my room."

Asami grinned and giggled.

Kyora sighed.

"You put sleeping powder in their water again, didn't you."

"Maybe" Asami said swishing her tail back and forth.

Kyora ran his fingers through his hair.

"Well, what do you want?"

Asami's mood changed. "I...I had another dream about him."

"Him who?"

Asami whimpered softly. Kyora looked down at his little sister. She had tears in her eyes. Kyora sighed again and gave his sister a hug. Asami leaned on her brother's shoulder.

"Why? Why did our brother have to die?"

Kyora sighed again. "I know you miss him Asami but, you can't keep letting yourself get upset like this."

Asami sniffled. "I know but, I miss his hugs..and I miss the way he used to carry me all the time."

Asami closed her eyes.

"...And I miss the way he used to sing to me before I went to sleep."

Kyora looked at his sister curiously.

"How could you remember all of that? You were only five years old."

"I don't know...I just do."

Kyora wiped his sister's tears and lifted her into his arms. Asami leaned her head on her brother's shoulder and snuggled up against him. Kyora carried Asami back to her bedroom and tucked her back into her bed. Now wanting to be left alone Asami gently tugged on her brother's hair.

"What's the matter?" asked Kyora.

Asami didn't say anything. She looked down and began fiddling with her bedsheets. Kyora sighed and sat down his sister's bed.

"You know, it's ok to miss him, every once in a while. We'll never forget him. He was our brother after all."

"I know." Asami said softly. "I just can't help it sometimes."

"I understand, I miss him too."

Kyora patted her head. "Try to get some sleep, k?"

"Ok" said Asami.

She laid down and pulled her blanket over her shoulders. Kyora got up and began to walk our of his sister's room.

"Big brother?"

Kyora turned around.

"Yea?"

"I'm glad I didn't lose you too."

Kyora smiled.

"Sweet dreams, Asami."

...

Kitana slowly opened her eyes and stretched our her arms. She felt as if she had the best night's sleep she had ever experienced She felt so relaxed, so comfortable, so,...so warm. Kitana looked up and saw Youko's sleeping face. She gasped softly. Kitana didn't know much about men but she thought that Youko was the most handsome one she had ever seen.

"Mmmm" Youko moaned in his sleep.

Kitana giggled softly. She began to lean up but she felt something holding her down. She looked down and saw that Youko had wrapped his arms tightly around her waist. Kitana blushed a deep red. She had never been close to anybody like this before. She remembered her mother telling her that the only one who should be this close was her husband.

Kitana thought about that. Youko wasn't her husband in fact she had only known him for a week or two but, however, lying down with Youko holding her like this, felt so right to her. She felt safe and warm. She never felt this way with anyone before and she loved this feeling so much.

Youko started to move around.

Kitana looked up quickly. Youko's head slowly rolled over and tilted down towards Kitana. His golden eyes open slightly, looking Kitana deep into hers.

"Good Morning." he said in a deep sensual voice.

"Um...Good Morning." Kitana said looking down slightly.

Youko unwrapped his arms from Kitana's body and stretched the high above his head. Kitana unconsciously snuggled against him, suddenly feeling cold when pulled his arms away. Youko looked down at her.

"Kitana, what's the matter?"

Kitana didn't respond. She just tried to get as close to Youko's body as she possibly could.

"What's wrong? Are you cold?"

Kitana nodded her head. Youko grabbed the blanket over them and pulled it closer over trying to keep her warm.

"Is that better?" he asked softly.

Kitana said nothing.

Youko frowned and place his hand on Kitana's forehead.

"You don't have a fever." he said puzzled.

"I'm fine Youko." Kitana said softly.

"You sure?"

"Mmmhmm, just a bit cold."

Youko rolled over and pulled Kitana closer to him.

"Is that better?"

Kitana's heart was beating faster than it had ever beaten before. Having Youko this close to her was almost too much. Kitana's face turned bright red.

Youko looked down at Kitana's blushing red face and couldn't help but think about how cute she looked. Youko smiled down at her. Being this close to her felt really nice. It was as if they were meant to be holding each other in this moment. Youko began to run his hand over Kitana's hair loving how soft it was. He was beginning to like everything about Kitana. Her voice, the way she walked, her smile. Everything.

Youko's heart began to beat faster. This shocked him. He never felt this excited about anyone before. Soon his face turned a deep red. Kitana giggled.

"You're blushing." she pointed out.

"So are you." Youko retaliated.

Both of them laughed.

Then Youko did something he thought he would never be brave enough to do. He gently leaned down and kissed Kitana softly on the lips. Kitana eyes bucked as she felt Youko's warm lips on hers. It sent shivers down her spine and he body began to heat up.

Youko pulled back and laid back down on the pillow and smiled at Kitana. She smiled back.

"Well, now what do we have here?"

Youko jumped up at the sound of the voice coming from the door way. Kitana leaned up to see an older kitsune with brown graying hair.

"Youko, get your ass our of that bed right now!"
