Chapter 11
Kurama woke up to something small and furry jumping on his chest. He groaned as he opened his eyes. Mew nuzzled against his face as she mewed at him. He smiled at the small spirit beast.
"Shouldn't you be in Allie's room?" He said as he petted behind Mews ear. He picked her up and opened Allie's door quietly. She was still asleep. He looked at her sleeping form and saw her eyes were swollen from crying.
'Allie what happened to you?' he thought as moved her hair out of her face. He set Mew down on the bed and attempted to leave the room but Mew followed him. Kurama turned around and picked Mew up.
"How, are we going to explain you to mother?" Mew cocked her head to the side as she looked at him. He smiled at her.
"You're so cute like her." Mew mewed at him in response and he petted behind her ear again as he went to make himself some cereal. As he started eating his cereal he couldn't help but think about the night before and the events that transpired.
"Then why won't you look me in the eye?" He asked her. He was so worried about her. He had never seen her so broken down before and heartbroken. She looked like she was trying to put on a strong face for him but he could see through it. He wanted to hold her in his arms and tell her how he felt and that everything would be alright.
"You're imagining things fox boy. Look its late I want to go to sleep. I'll see you in the morning. "She said as she politely opened her door. She did look tired but Kurama wasn't so sure she was going to go to sleep like she said she would. He wanted to see her genuine smile again. He started walking out the door but he turned around and faced her again.
"I know it's late, but will you tell me whats wrong tomorrow? You don't act like this ever I know something is wrong." She sighed at him. He couldn't stand seeing her like this.
"Okay I'll tell you tomorrow."
'I hope she does.' He filled up a bowl with water and he put it on the ground for Mew.
"AHHHHHH!" He heard Allie scream. Kurama and Mew bolted up the stairs he opened her door and ran to her side. She was holding her face in her hands and crying. He pulled her into his arms and patted her back lightly.
"Was it another nightmare?" She nodded against him as she cried into his chest. He didn't notice before but her fox ears and tail were out. Her ears hung low.
"It's alright now, it's over."
"I didn't wake you did I?" She asked as she looked up at him. Her eyes still wet from her tears he smiled at her as he wiped them away.
"No I was already awake its 10 am."
"10 AM!? SHIT WE HAVE SCHOOL." She practically pushed him off of her she started throwing her clothes out of her hamper everywhere.
"Shit where is my school uniform?"
"Allie-"
"You need to get ready too now go!" He couldn't help as he bursted out laughing. He almost fell off her bed he was laughing so hard. She turned to look at him. Needless to say she looked a little angry.
"What the hell are you laughing at fox boy?"
He stopped laughing as he wiped a tear from his eye.
"Allie its Saturday, we don't have school." Her eyes widened as she fell to her knees and then back against the floor on her back.
"Dammit, I'm an idiot." He chuckled at her as he stood up and held his hand out to her. She grabbed his hand but he pulled too hard and she fell head first into his chest. She could feel her face heating up. She slowly looked up at him. Her face was inches away from his. She backed away quickly against the wall. Her face was blood red.
"Sorry clumsy as always I guess." She said as she giggled nervously. He smiled at her.
"Glad to see you are back to normal." She had to think about what he meant for a moment.
"Yeah once I slept it off I felt better." She smiled at him.
'I'll never stop loving the guy, but I can't be depressed about it. Whats that gonna solve? I'm just going to enjoy my time that I have left here with him.'
He walked closer to her and moved the hair out of her eyes.
"Good I like it when you're happy." Her heart was racing. He was so close to her again and she couldn't back up anymore because she was already against the wall. He was staring into her golden hazel orbs. He was leaning closer to her.
'What's he doing?' Their noses touched and Allie held her breath in her throat.
'Is he gonna kiss me?' She felt her heart skip a beat. She felt his breath against her lips. She closed her eyes.
'Kurama...'
"WOOHOO! GET IT TAKAHASHI!" Her eyes shot wide open and she looked out toward the window. Yusuke and Kuwabara were sitting in the tree outside her window giggling like idiots. She blushed blood red out of embarrassment and anger.
"YUSUKE, KUWABARA YOU ARE SO DEAD!"
"SHIT ABORT MISSION KUWABARA!" They jumped down from the tree and Allie jumped out of the window down to them. Kurama laid his back against the wall as he shook his head. Mew mewed up at him and he picked her up and let out a sigh.
'Dammit Yusuke.' He walked downstairs and opened his front door. Yusuke and Kuwabara were laying on the ground. They were covered in hand prints from being slapped presumably by Allie and Keiko who stood there angrily and they had many bumps and bruises.
"Fucking idiots." He heard Allie mumble.
"Oh dear Kazuma." Yukina said as she came out from behind Keiko along with Botan.
"Well they deserved it Yukina they should have just waited until someone answered the door like Keiko said." Botan said.
"You could say that again Botan. Thank goodness your mother isn't home right now." Allie said walking up to Kurama and Mew jumped into her arms.
"She will be soon; she and Kazuya are leaving for a month for her vacation so she was gonna come home and pack."
"Shit I forgot, how the hell are we going to explain Mew to her!?" Allie said.
"Well Puu usually stays with me and I just tell Puu to sit still and act like a stuffed animal." Keiko said as Puu jumped up out of her bag at the sound of his name. Mew jumped into Kurama's arms as Puu surprised her. He flew over to her. Mew hit Puu with her paw. Puu looked angry as he flapped around Mew.
"Oh dear it's like you and Yusuke. You hit Yusuke and then Yusuke tries to intimidate you." Botan said as she watched. Mew just ignored Puu.
"Well they are basically our other half." Allie said as she petted Mew's head. Mew jumped up to Kurama's shoulder and rubbed her face against his.
"She's certainly taken a liking to you." Allie said as she smiled. 'This is so cute.'
"I believe you are right. She practically would leave my side once I woke up." He smiled back at her. Kuwabara and Yusuke started snickering to themselves and Allie shot them the evil eye.
"What the hell are you two going on about?" She said as she walked over to them. Kuwabara leaned up.
"You know how Puu never leaves Keikos side?"
"Yeah so what?"
"Well it's because Urameshi loves Keiko so Puu loves Keiko." He whispered to her. Yusuke and Kuwabara started laughing.
'Wait so that means Mews been around him because of me?' She blushed bright red even worse than before.
"Allie are you all right your face is awfully red?" Kurama asked as he out his hand on her forehead which only made her more red and Yusuke and Kuwabara only laughed harder. She turned to them.
"I will kill you two if you don't shut the fuck up!" Her eyes glowed bright red and Kuwabara tried hiding behind Yusuke who was laughing nervously. She calmed herself back down and Mew jumped from Kurama's shoulder to Allies.
"Anyway why are you guys here?" Allie asked as she gained her composure.
"We were wondering if you guys wanted to go the carnival today." Yukina asked sweetly. Allie perked up,
"HELL YEAH! But we should probably wait because I still need a shower and your mother did want to see us before she left." Kurama nodded agreeing with her.
"We could meet you guys there." Kurama said. The 3 girls nodded. Yusuke and Kuwabara stood up.
"Then meet us there at 3 okay?" Kurama and Allie nodded and they saw them off before going back in the house.
"I'm gonna go take a shower okay?" She said he nodded at her and Mew went up the stairs with her. He smiled. He felt relieved.
'She's back to normal'
Allie opened her door and quickly closed it after Mew walked in. Mew jumped onto her bed and started to nap and Allie let out a sigh.
'He almost kissed me...he almost kissed me and they fucking ruined it! I hope he doesn't realize why Mew is going to be around him a lot. My hearts still pounding.' She put her hand to her chest as she tried to get her breathing under control.
'A shower...I need a shower…that'll clear my head.' She got undressed and went into her bathroom. She locked the door that lead to Kurama's room and she put on her music and stepped in the shower. She stayed in there for awhile she didn't even notice that the water turned cold. She was so consumed in her thoughts. She finished up and quickly dried off. She put her hair in a braid. She walked back into her room and Mew was smelling the rose on her nightstand.
"You like it too don't you?" She pet under Mew's chin.
"MEW!"
Allie smiled at her spirit beast. She leaned forward and took a whiff of the rose herself. She quickly got dressed in jeans and a nice navy blue blouse. She felt like looking pretty today so she put on some make up. Nothing much really just foundation, some matte lipstick and mascara. She gave herself a little cat eye as well. Since her eyes were small she like how they looked with a cat eye. She walked back over to Mew with a picture in her hand. It was a picture of Allie, Kurama, Shiori and Kazuya that they had taken one of the first few nights from when Allie first came to Japan.
"Look if you see her act like one of these okay and don't move." She said as she pointed to Shiori and to the stuffed animal that she had on her bed. Mew looked puzzled for a moment and then she did it. She sat as still as a statue.
"Good, now me and Kurama will be out so you need to stay here today okay?" Mew looked sad but she shook her head nonetheless. Allie smiled as she patted Mew's head and left the room. When she came downstairs Shiori and Kurama were sitting in the living room. Shiori had a smile on her face but Kurama looked uncomfortable to say the least.
"Allie, could you please come and sit down?" Shiori asked as she motioned her hand for her to sit next to Kurama. Allie sat next to Kurama but the atmosphere was very awkward.
"Mother, I told you-"
"Shuichi please. Let me speak."
Allie looked confused as she looked between Kurama and Shiori. Kurama wouldn't look up.
"Um is there something wrong?" Allie asked. She was clearly confused about the awkward situation.
"Well Allie as you know I'm leaving today for my vacation with Kazuya and I wanted to leave something with you 2 before I go." She handed a brown bag to Allie. Allie looked puzzled she opened the bag and looked inside it. She blushed madly as she saw the contents of the bag.
Birth control pills and condoms.
She quickly closed the bag and was unable to meet Shiori's gaze.
"I know that may be shocking for you, but I was a young once and I just want to make sure you two are safe while I'm gone."
"Mother I assure we aren't going to do anything like that." Kurama pleaded.
"Yeah trust me-"
"Now listen you two, you don't have to convince me otherwise. I'm happy that you two are together, I just don't want any grandchildren yet."
Allie was internally screaming as she held her face in her hands.
'My face is probably as red as his damn hair. I can't believe she thinks we are together. I can't believe she thinks we are having sex. I can't even look up I'm so uncomfortable.'
"Mother we are just friends."
'Unfortunately'
"Yeah he's right Mrs. Minamino so you don't need to worry." Allie said nodding with him. She stole a glance at Kurama out of the corner of her eye. His face was flushed.
'Kurama is blushing. YOUKO FUCKING KURAMA IS BLUSHING! He looks cute like that! Dammit Allie this is no time to be admiring his looks.'
"Well that's a shame, you both look so happy together."
*HONK HONK*
"Well that is Kazuya so I must be going. I will leave this in the kitchen just in case you two change your minds." She winked at Allie as she put the bag on the counter. She hugged Kurama and he walked with her out the door. Allie grabbed a pillow and put it on her face and screamed into it. So many thoughts were going through her head.
'Kurama and I having sex; having kids with Kurama. My heart can't take this. I can't believe she thinks that we...'
It was then Kurama came rushing back into the room.
"I'm so sorry, I tried to explain it to her before you came down but she was very insistent today."
She still couldn't look him in the eye.
"It's alright don't worry about it."
"Doesn't birth control have to be specifically assigned to you too?" He was trying to make conversation to make things less awkward. Although it wasn't helping. The atmosphere was still awkward.
"Yeah some you need to, but those are pills anyone can take them. I'm already on a form of birth control so I wouldn't need them anyway." Allie couldn't believe she just told him that. It just came out like word vomit.
'When I'm so nervous like this I have no filter!' Kurama raised an eyebrow at her words.
"It's not for the reason you think. Some birth control helps with cramping from your menstrual cycle and it can even help you not a have one which is great and I'm rambling and I'm going to stop now." Kurama laughed at her and she got a scowl on her face. She threw the pillow that was in her hands at him.
"Don't laugh at me Fox boy!" He caught the pillow and he put it back on the couch. He grabbed the bag and went and put it away.
"I'm gonna take my shower now. Do you want to grab lunch before we meet up with them?"
"Yeah, sure." She said as she smiled at him. She waited until she heard him start his shower before she took out her cell phone. She had to tell Mina.
Kurama got in the shower and starting washing his hair. After everything that had happened the night before he didn't expect today to be the day that it was turning out to be. Even though she had a rough night and a rough morning, Allie was cheerful again and that made him happy. He never wanted to see a woman smile as much as he wanted to see her smile. He wanted to kiss her this morning. He didn't even realize that he wanted to until Yusuke and Kuwabara made him miss his chance. When he was leaning into her, it just felt natural to him. He was actually quite angry at Yusuke and Kuwabara for ruining their moment.
He couldn't believe what his mother had given them.
Sure it wasn't that surprising because he would have done the same thing. He just didn't expect it. He never thought something could make him blush the way he did. He would never admit though and he hoped Allie hadn't noticed. It wasn't the fact that she thought they were it was the thought of them having sex. They way her body would feel against his. The thought of her screaming his name in pure ecstasy. Her soft lips against his. The pleasure they would both receive from the experience. The love they would share. The thought of her becoming his mate. The thought of her one day carrying his kits.
'I guess I love her.'
He felt like he knew this for awhile now. He just hadn't come to terms with it until last night when he saw her all upset and distraught. He never wanted to see her like that again. He made a vow to himself to never allow her smile to break again. Even if she chose Jin over him, he wouldn't care as long as she was happy. He quickly finished his shower and changed into something comfortable. He heard Mew scratching at the door to Allie's room. He opened the door and Mew jumped into Kuramas arms.
"MEW!" He smiled at the spirit beast. When he came downstairs he heard Allie talking on the phone. She was speaking in English so he assumed it was her friend Mina.
"I'm embarrassed enough and you're making it worse." He knew he shouldn't eavesdrop but he was curious. Curiosity never killed the fox.
"Allie, give it up seriously. You care about the guy its normal to have these feelings. Especially after having that situation." He heard Mina say. He looked puzzled. What was she talking about? Was she talking him? Was she talking about Allies feelings for him?
"I still can't believe that happened I couldn't even look her in the eye after that." He saw her shaking her head. Her face was still red. He smiled at her; he liked it when she blushed.
"MEW!" Mew mewed as she jumped off Kurama over to Allie. She made his presence known and when she turned around and her eyes met his gaze she blushed even more.
"Mina, I gotta go I call you later." She hung up the phone. She stood up and walked over to him.
"How much did you hear?"
"I didn't hear anything."
"You're such a liar fox boy."
"MEW!" Mew jumped at Kurama and he picked her up again.
'It's really hard to hide my feelings when she jumps into his arms like that and makes it super obvious.'
"I'll drop it for now. Let me go get a bag. I have a feeling Mew wants to go with us." She walked back upstairs and Kurama let out a sigh. When she came back down with a back that was big enough for Mew to ride in he was hit with a wave of the scent of her lavender shampoo. She had taken her hair out of the bread and now her hair cascading down in soft curls. It even still a little wet from her shower, which wasn't surprising because when she took her shower she didn't dry it she just threw it in a braid. She opened the bag for Mew to jump in but Mew wouldn't.
"Mew come on you can't ride with him all day. People will wonder what the hell you are." Mew slowly jumped out of Kuramas arms and into the bag. She did peak her head out. Allie just rolled her eyes and let it be.
"I guess we should just head to the carnival now it's already 2:45." Kurama said looking at his watch and they left and walked to the carnival. When they got there Yusuke, Kuwabara, Keiko, Yukina, and Botan were at the entrance to the park.
"There's a lot of rides here." Allie said as she looked all around.
"Yes well it's more like an amusement park but everyone still only calls it a carnival." Kurama said as they walked forward.
"Sweet. OOHH ROLLER COASTERS COME ON!" She grabbed Kurama's hand and they ran for the roller coaster. Yusuke and Kuwabara followed after them Botan decided to stay off with Yukina. Kuwabara got in a seat by himself. Keiko went with Yusuke and Allie with Kurama.
"Didn't know you liked roller coasters."
"I have a love hate relationship with them.'
"How so?"
"I love looking at them and waiting in line for them but once I'm on it I'm terrified and then once I'm off I want to go on again."
Kurama realized something as the ride began to start and the roller coaster. Allie had a very colorful vocabulary on rollercoaster's. She also never let go of his hand and as the rollercoaster went higher she squeezed his hand tighter.
"SHIT!" She screamed as the roller coaster when down the hill. Kurama was shocked if he didn't go deaf from the whole ordeal. He looked at her. She looked so happy considering she was screaming so many profanities. He saw a bright flash of light before the ride slowly came to its stop. She was breathing heavy. He looked at out of concern.
"THAT WAS AWESOME!"
"HELL YEAH TAKAHASHI!" Yusuke said as he raised his hand in the air. Allie hit it back and then she gave Kuwabara who was sitting behind them a high five.
"Allie I think they took a picture. Let's go see!" Keiko pulled Allie off the ride and walked off ahead of the boys to look at the picture. Yusuke and Keiko were screaming their heads off. Kuwabara looked like he was going to piss himself. Allie's heart stopped when she saw the picture of her and Kurama. She was screaming but he was smiling at her. They were also holding hands.
'That's right I never did let go of his hand.' She put her hands to her cheeks which felt like they were on fire. The vendor gave them the copies of the free pictures and Allie quickly put them in her bag with Mew that Yukina was holding for her.
"Did you guys have fun?" Yukina asked. Allie nodded her face was still red. She was thankful that the boys were taking their sweet time getting back to them.
"Allie you and Kurama sure looked chummy up there." Botan said as she nudged Allie with her arm and winked at her.
"You should have seen it Botan she wouldn't let go of his hand." Keiko said as she giggled with the grim reaper.
"You two need to shut up. I know enough stuff on both of you." Allie warned. Although she wasn't very threatening since she was as red as a tomato.
"Oh really like what?" Keiko said as she and Botan continued to giggle.
"Well for one Yusukes scent is all over you Keiko. What were you two doing last night?" She asked as she winked at Keiko who now was blushing madly. Botan now laughed harder.
"Oh and Botan lets now forget about Koenma's prince form." Now it was Botan's turn to blush as she lightly pushed Allie with her arm. Yukina just giggled with Allie.
"YUKINA! You should have gone on with us it was so much fun." Kuwabara said as he came running up to the ice maiden.
"No Kazuma it was too scary."
"Well Yukina you can get on the Ferris wheel." Allie said as she pointed at it. Keiko and Botan smirked as an idea popped up in their head.
"Yeah everyone let's go!" Keiko exclaimed.
"Keiko I don't want to get on that annoying ride." Yusuke complained as Keiko dragged him over. Botan got on the Ferris wheel with Keiko and Yusuke and Yukina got on with Kuwabara. This left Allie and Kurama to get on with each other alone.
Allie blushed having finally realized their plan.
'Those two are so dead.' They got on and it started slowing rising.
'I just need to not look at him and it'll be okay.'
Mew jumped out of Allie's bag and into Kurama's lap.
'Traitor!' She screamed internally at her spirit beast. Mew mewed up at Kurama and he just petted behind her ear. Allie couldn't help but smile at the sight in front of Kurama holding her. It warmed her heart.
'He's gonna make me love him even more. I don't even know if that's even possible.' She looked away and she immediately regretted her decision. The cart they were on was at the top of the Ferris wheel and it stopped moving. She scooted back practically into Kuramas arms. She was shaking.
"If you hate heights why did you get on this ride?"
"Because usually I'm okay as long as I don't look down," She turned and realized how close she was to him and she scooted away from again.
"Sorry I just really hate heights." A gasp escaped her lips when Kurama put his arm around her.
"Don't worry it'll be over before you know it." She couldn't look up at him. She was sure he could hear her heart racing.
'I don't want to this to be over. I don't any of this to end. I don't want to go back to the US. I want to stay here with him.' She breathed in his scent of roses and mint. Mew sat in her lap and cocked her head to the side as she looked at them. She then laid down in Allie's lap.
"She is pretty damn cute."
"Indeed. It's surprising that she has the same scar as you, but how did you get that scar?"
"Promise me you won't laugh?" He nodded and Allie took a deep breath.
"Well when I was little I really loved Disney movies especially Tarzan. I lived with my dad at his estate in the woods it was similar to Genkai's in a way. When I was 3 I was chasing demons in the forest and I was swinging from a vine and was yelling 'I'm Tarzan!' and I fell off the vine and fell onto a demon and its claw cut my eye."
He nodded as he listened to her story but he couldn't hold his composure anymore and he busted out laughing. He even teared up a bit. Allie playfully punched him in the chest.
"I told you not to laugh at me!"
"I'm sorry that just defiantly sounds like you."
"What the hell is that supposed to mean fox boy?" She was giggling as she repeatedly and playfully punched him in the chest. He caught her hands as she was forced to look into his eyes.
"Kurama..." He leaned in closer to her. Allie took in her breath as she closed her eyes.
But for the second time today they would be interrupted.
"Hn." Allie and Kurama turned to look and Hiei was sitting in the cart with them.
"I usually can't sneak up on either of you." Allie blushed as she scooted away from Kurama. Mew stirred in her sleep in her lap but she didn't wake up.
"What is it Hiei? Did anyone see you come up here?" Kurama asked seeming annoyed.
"Just the oaf but I've been sent by the toddler." Allie perked up and looked up at Hiei.
"What is it? What happened?" Allie asked urgency in her voice.
"We have a problem."
Animechick: AND CLIFF HANGER! I'm such a dick. I hope you all love this chapter as much as I loved writing it. I had to stop and laugh at half the stuff that I wrote. I loved Mew being all cuddle buddies with Kurama. The fluff, the awkwardness, and the sexualish tension it was great and it made my day. Also the story about how Allie got the scar on her eye. That's what happened to me except it was me jumping on a couch and landing on a plate. So yeah anyway there's something about me. I wanted to say thank you to RainbowKitsune and OMGNO for your reviews! And anyone please feel free to leave reviews and comments and questions you may have! Anyway until next time!
