Healing a Blackened Heart-Chapter Ten
Long raven lashes pulled back to reveal dazed sapphire hues. Kagome laid in her spot, gazing at her ceiling in calm amazement trying to process the facts of her slumber.
'I-I didn't have a single memory.' she thought as she ran her hands through Shippo's hair. Kagome suddenly frowned not remembering her little kit's hair being so long. Looking down, her eyes abruptly widened in surprise at the bright crimson mop of hair resting on her stomach. Sharp claws sprung to action in instinct. They were inches away from her unaware victim's jugular when she jerked back her hand after seeing the pale face of the male that took care of her and her kit.
Kagome blinked multiple times in her half sitting position.
'What the hell...?' she thought puzzled. Suddenly her head whirled as the events from last night filed into her memory. She groaned in embarrassment and slowly laid back down with the avatar's head still positioned on her stomach. Kagome glared at the roofing above her with a dangerous glower as she tried to force down the blush that was fighting to appear. Slowly without her knowing her clawed hand began to inch toward the avatar's silky ruby locks. The female kitsune's sapphire hues once again connected the avatar's prone from as she willed the claws that sat in his crimson locks to run through them.
A soft hint of hope entered her eyes as she continued to stare at Kurama's relaxed form. He was curled around Shippo in semi-protective embrace. The scarlet haired man's head was lying on her stomach with a hand resting on her waist and one arm cushioning Shippo's head. Both of them where snuggled up to her side. Shippo clung to her tail like it was one of his favorite toys, his face buried in the silk fur allowing the kit's warm breath to fan over her black pelt.
Kagome's sharp claws softly ran over the young man's skull in thought.
'The only thing that changed was him. I still have those things playing with me when Shippo sleeps with me, so he must be the reason I've hadn't woken up screaming bloody murder.' she thought with a small frown as she looked at the boy with dark possessiveness.
"I really hope you know what you've just done, Avatar. Because now your never getting away from me. You're mine now. And I'll never let her touch you." she whispered with a dark grin.
He was hiding this time. He didn't know why or where he was hidden, but he just knew he just had to. It was dark and humid where he was, the walls of his safe sanctuary where wooden, rough, and bumpy. This lead him to believe he was hidden somewhere in the body of a tree. There was a small opening into his hideaway: just small enough for him to slip through for a necessary escape. There was also a small peep hole in what he guess was the front of the tree, that he didn't dare look out of. He could both hear and smell enough of what was occurring without seeing it.
His eyes clench shut as another piercing scream ripped from another tortured individual's throat. Tears gathered in his eyes as the figures feminine voice begged for their attacker to stop over and over. Kurama could smell the blood from the female victim and the sick twisted arousal of the male attacking her. It didn't take a genius to figure out what was occurring outside of the safety of is hiding place. Suddenly the screaming stopped along with the breath of the female figure. He could feel the putrid gaze of the poor soul's attacker staring right through his hiding place with amusement. Kurama's blood froze at the man's soul piercing gaze.
'He knew where I was this whole time.' he though in horror as his small body clung to wall like a life line.
"Don't make this harder for yourself, Washi. Maybe if you come out and beg then I'll go easy." the older man snorted with sadistic humor. Much to Kurama's displeasure his body began to move to its own accord. 'Washi' crawled out of her hiding place with a quivering form and looking into the man's crimson orbs with fear as she began to walk closer in fright. Kurama began to struggle against the tight bonds of his control relentlessly, but he just couldn't figure out how to break the cage this girl had on his soul. This had to be a dream. Just when he was about to give up and relent to the fact that he was going to experience something almost impossible to happen to a male, something pulled him back in to his own body. His world burst in a blinding state of white as a deep roar of anger echoed in his ears.
Kagome frowned as she continued to circle the still dozing avatar that was tangled in her bedding. It was about twelve in the afternoon; Shippo ran off somewhere after she scolded him properly and warned him once again about climbing into her bedding after her when she was resting. The young kit tried to use alligator tear to wiggle his way out of the situation earning him a whack on the skull. Just because he knows her weak spot doesn't mean he has the right to use it against her: she had trained him too well.
Kagome frowned and glared at the glass container she found hidden in the avatar's car from across the room. She spotted it when she was... inspecting his vehicle this morning. Truth be told, the only thing that kept her from spilling his blood right now was that she needed him to answer her questions before she mangled his disgusting corpse, but his soft snores were really starting to test her patience.
Suddenly her eyes glinted with something that could only because sadistic pleasure as an idea struck her.
Sharp talons slowly dragged themselves roughly up the young man's pale ivory arm leavening angry red welts in their path. They crawled across his collar bone and onto the soft exposed skin of Kurama neck.
Kagome licked her lips in anticipation as the thrill of another silent kill went through her body and melted her bones. Her chest vibrated in a purr as pale deadly fingers wrapped around the tainted miko's slumbering victim. Adrenaline seeped through her pores as she straddled the unconscious male's waist and her pupils shrunk into black hell-like silts with sapphire fighting vermilion in a difficult battle of wills.
Shippo's nose twitched at the smell of her excitement in his hiding place in one of the damn caves of their sanctuary. Emerald orbs shrunk to the point of dots and his form shook as he dashed through the tunnel in hopes to stop the bloodthirsty female.
A black onyx tail swung left to right showing its owner's dangerous mood as the black vixen hands slowly wrapped around her prey's neck. Vermilion crimson has over taken most of the young killer's orbs symbolizing the thick liquid her body was aching to spill, but she couldn't. She just couldn't. Why couldn't she?
Specks of sapphires appeared in Kagome's vermilion overrun orbs as her demonic power swirled around her and the young man, she clutched closer to her as she fought the voices that called for bloodshed in her mind. Forest green eyes snapped open as the young man awoke from his slumber. Kurama eye widened his whole body stiffened at the unknown weight on top of it and the unknown dancing black light that swirled and pranced around on his flesh. Forcing the bleariness out of his vision at the clear sign of danger, his head snapped down to the young female was on top of him and all previous plans for battle flew out of his head at the pained feeling she gave off as she clutched his hoodie with a death grip.
Shippo busted threw the doors, causing the young women to whimper in pain due to her heightened hearing and the young man with her to jump and look at the kit with surprised confusion. The kit looked terrified of his mother but still managed to run over to the Kurama and whimper out with a petrified voice, "We have to leave now!"
The young kit made a grab for the women to throw her off of him but was scared back by the beastly snarl that emerged from the Avatar. Shippo jumped away with a hiss and chatter of his own and landed on the other side of the room with tail high in the air and two paws and claws on the floor. He yipped and chattered in his ancient tongue as he stood on edge of transforming.
Kurama looked at him with bewildered forest green eyes, unaware of a certain fox spirit's presence in his consciousness.
Youko Kurama was not one to usually lose his temper but the broken fragments that the kit kept yipping to him was starting to test him.
"Given up... Red eyed man... Chase..."
His lips pressed into a thin line.
"Mother innocent... No energy... Evil soul..."
Yoko growled to himself as the young women in his other half arm's whimpered in pain. He had a small idea of what was wrong but why the vixen would reduce herself to such a state he had no clue. Nor could he help when he was in here.
"Weak... Fight... Need help... Have serum... Don't know what will happen..."
Golden depths widened then narrowed as the spirit demon quickly barked back the affirmative, though he severely doubted the kit heard his sharp sound.
Kurama had no clue why the kit stopped barking and hissing at him or when he had became so fast, but those facts in this situation didn't seem to matter since he just had a very familiar liquid forced down his throat. The wrinkled soggy fruit of the past life potion rolled around freely on the glass covered wooden floor of the small vixen's bedroom as the similar tingling feeling of the transformation took a hold of him. This time Kurama couldn't help but notice how the sensation was different. Suddenly his lights began to dim and the light of the silver fox inside him reawakened.
Green changed to gold. Crimson to silver. And porcelain to ivory.
The legendary bandit's golden eyes opened and his aura wrapped around the young female that he held in bed with him. Youko hissed in anger as his hunch was affirmed. The major problem was something he could not fix, only put off. She did invoke the beast's hunger, but it seems it refused to take the meal given, leaving both her and it to deal with the wrath and power.
"You idiot." he growled. Youko searched madly for a sedating seed in his hair as the black light receded back into the young women's body causing her to jerk this way and that. Just when he was about to place it into the writhing female's mouth, her clawed hand shot out and grabbed his wrist. Youko's golden eyes widened in surprise before narrowing in as she started cackling from underneath him. Shippo, knowing that it was too late to act now, quickly went to hide before it caught him in its' terrifying path.
"The kit has a problem with the Silver, but has taken a liking to the Avatar~" The captor of the black vixen's body sang as it hid its' eyes with the thick black of Kagome's bangs. "The Avatar has interest in the Kit and is confused about the Silver." Suddenly, rage bubbled in the captured women's small form causing the silver fox demon above her to narrow his eyes. "While the silver wants the kit and is using the Avatar!" it screeched as it took a swipe at Youko.
Youko's clawed hand caught the controlled vixen's petite wrist and blocked it before jumping off the bed. Kagome's controlled form slowly rose itself and looked him straight in the eye. Youko looked unfazed at the sight of her cat-like slit blood red pupils as it started to cackle once more.
"The kit seems to have gotten weaker." it laughed harshly as it stalked towards him and began to circle the thousand year old demon. "This one believes you know why, Silver. She doesn't feed herself or this one more. Though it does make her soul look very yummy. Me no like letting go of the kit so easily." The possessed young women stopped in front of him and looked at the fox spirit with a cocked head. Suddenly a face splitting smile appeared on the vixen's face.
"You had the avatar drink the serum, did you not?"
Youko glared at her, unknowingly giving her the answer. The crimson eyed female threw her head back and laughed in insanity.
"Good." it chirped as it reached for the silver haired demon, to which her opposition took a step away from her. The controlled female pouted and sighed. "Oh well, I tried to be nice." it stated with a strung, suddenly 'Kagome' disappeared only to reappear right in front of the Bandit. Youko gritted his teeth as the girl started to dash around him in blur only stopping for a millisecond to slice off a section of his skin. She laughed merrily as large pieces of muscle and tissue felt to the ground with sickening plops. He tried to move but soon found his tendons torn out by the black blur of his vixen. He fell to the floor with a snarl of pain, both arms and legs immobile.
It sat merrily in front of him playing with a familiar pile of seeds with a twisted smile.
"Did you know that the black kitsune can feed and take energy from just about everything? Watch, Silver-kun, as I create our version of a death tree." the controlled priestess sang merrily as she willed the plant bud. Youko watched with keen eyes as the black-wilted, green acid spitting jaws of one of his plants neared him and closed his eyes with acceptance. When nothing happened, his ears twitched in confusion.
"AWWWW! You're SO cute!"
The familiar dark voice of his killer rang closely into his ear causing Youko's eyes to snap open. He was tied up he noted and there wasn't a scratch on his body. He glared into the crimson eyes of his captor.
'Kagome' cackled.
"If you hadn't run away from me then I would have had to do this." it chirped as it sat in front of him and put a claw on his forehead. "This is going to be a tad uncomfortable, you might not like it but I will enjoy this in placement for not really killing you!"
Suddenly Youko started dry coughing; he couldn't breathe!
Crimson eye's watched with sadistic pleasure as blood and serum made its way out of his nose, mouth and tear ducks to gather in the palm of her hand. As the last of the potion began to make its' way out of his bloodstream the potion began to form into the fruit it once was, she whispered into his ear.
"The kit belongs to this one and this one only, Silver. Good luck trying to catch her."
