"WHA-WHAT?! NO WAY!" Kuwabara yelled and crossed his arms in an X in front of him. "I am a man with honor and it's not right to ask me that!" He folded his arms and looked away from the girls.
"Oh come on Zu-zu! I need a man's opinion to figure out what I should go with." Ren pleaded.
"Come on let's just have you try them on and we'll decide based on his reactions." Botan winked and grabbed one of his arms as Shizuru grabbed the other.
"W-wait! Don't make me go back there!" Kuwabara whined as they drug him to the changing rooms.
After a few minutes, Ren yanked open the curtain. She was wearing a see-through lace bra and matching panties, both a dark green. "Well? What do you think?" She asked striking what she hoped was a sexy pose.
Kuwabara's whole face turned red as he did a perfect expression of a fish. Botan and Sizuru whistled and cat-called.
Yukina clapped her hands together and nodded. "I might just have to get a set of those myself. Maybe in pink." She turned and left, possibly to get just that.
"Well looks like this is a yes." Ren closed the curtain again.
After a half hour Yukina and Ren walked out of the shop with their arms linked and carrying bags. Botan and Shizuru had to drag the still red-faced and dazed Kuwabara out the door.
"Kazuma!" Shizuru grunted. "Stop acting like a big baby. Real men don't *grunt* act like this after seeing someone in their underwear!" Having enough of dragging him, she nodded to Botan and they let him drop to the ground.
"I got an idea! Let's go check out that new tea shop before we head back." Botan suggested.
Kuwabara jumped up. "Hey! Wait for me!" He had to run to catch up to them as they entered through a door decorated with cherry blossoms.
The sounds of a whip cracking could be heard coming from a clearing behind the temple. There were piles of tree limbs, leaves and flower petals littering the ground. The late morning sun was shining brightly into the clearing, increasing the heat.
Kurama paused to drink from a bottle of water he had set by his foot. He glanced up towards the sky and frowned. It's almost noon. She should've been back by now.
Ren was sneaking through the forest. She had been told Kurama was in a nearby clearing, training. She decided she wanted to watch without him knowing. She quietly hid behind a tree on the very edge of the clearing. Peeking out, her heart sped up and her eyes widened at what she spied. Slightly damp, red hair was shining in the sun. Sweat was rolling down a shirtless Kurama's body. He set his bottle down and resumed his fighting stance. Ren's eyes couldn't keep up with the whip as it slashed and cracked around the clearing. Kurama looked like his was doing a dance with the whip.
"Wow!" Ren whispered and promptly slapped her hand over her mouth when she realized she said that out loud.
Kurama heard her. He brought his arm down with one last crack of the whip. "Why are you hiding, Ren?" He called over his shoulder.
Ren stepped out from behind the tree blushing. She gasped as Kurama turned to face her. Schooling her features she slowly walked up to him. "I was just admiring the most amazing display and didn't want to interrupt." She smiled sheepishly.
"I'm glad you think that." His smile as warm as the sun. "But you didn't have to hide. Come. I want to try something but I need your assistance." He held his hand out to her.
"Ok." She smiled, excitement in her eyes, and grabbed his hand.
"I want you to stand here." He moved her to the center of the clearing. "Now, put your hands here." He grabbed her hands and placed them behind her head. "It's very important that you don't move." He walked several feet away from her. Taking his stance, whip in hand, he grinned mischievously. "Ready?"
Ren nodded excited yet nervous. Why do I get the feeling he's up to something? Ren couldn't keep her eyes off his body as he swung the whip.
Kurama's grin became a smirk when he stopped moving. "Such a beautiful vision before me."
Ren blinked and looked down and saw her clothes fluttering to the ground. "Kurama!" She glared and stomped up to him. She pushed on his chest making him stumble back and chuckle. "It's not funny! I really liked that dress." Ren pouted.
"Yes. I quite liked it too, but I must say I like what I see now even more." Kurama stepped closer to her. His eyes flickered gold before she could see. "Maybe you should wear this instead of whats hanging in your closet." He smirked.
"You really like it?" Ren asked as she did a turn. "You suggestion is appealing, but I'm not sure thats a good idea." Ren said thoughtfully.
"You make a valid point. I wouldn't guarantee they would be intact by the end of the day." He grabbed her chin between his thumb and finger and pressed his lips to hers. "Let's get you in and changed before anyone sees you." Kurama placed his arm around her, with his hand resting on her hip.
The walk back to the temple was too quiet for Ren. "It was fun buying these things."
"How was it fun?" Asked Kurama curiously.
"Well we took Kuwabara with us. We pretty much tortured him." Ren giggled. "Botan and Shizuru kept him back in the changing rooms with us and we told him it was because we needed a mans opinion on what I should get. We were really playing around trying to see how long it took him to faint." She laughed.
"So how long did it take?"
"Not long. He fainted about three times." Kurama chuckled at that. "Yeah, Yukina got in on it too. She even pulled him behind the curtain to help her lace up a corset. They weren't back there a minute before we heard him crash to the floor. She was so smug and proud of herself when she came back out."
They were still laughing as they walked around to the front of the temple. Not ready to go in yet and wanting to tease the fox, Ren squeezed his butt and ran back the way they had come from. She quickly glanced over her shoulder. "Shit!" He was closing in behind her. She veered right, running to the line of trees. She glanced back again, seeing him almost at arms reach. She stopped and ducked under the arm he used to try and grab her. She snatched his pants down and took off again in the opposite direction. She saw a door leading into the back of the temple and turned towards it. She yanked it open, dove in and closed it again. She ran down the familiar hallway that lead to her room. She didn't stop until she had made it inside her room and closed the door.
She watched the door expecting him to come through it. She yelled when his arms suddenly wrapped around her waist and spun them. He stopped and set her down, letting her body slide under his hands. He leaned close to her ear. "You should've remembered the bathroom door."
"Yeah," She turned to face him. "Speaking of bathrooms. You sir," She lightly poked his abs. "Need to bathe. You are super sweaty." She turned away from him and started to remove what was left of her clothes. She didn't get to grab anything to put on.
Kurama turned her around and locked his lips with hers. He fisted one hand in her hair and the other placed on her hip. He backed her up to the closest wall. "I am about to make you as sweaty as I am." He practically purred. He lifted her up and pinned her between his body and the wall. He reached down between them. He slipped a finger in her opening and pulled it out. "Mmm. You're really wet."
She gasped when he rubbed his tip against her slit. "Kurama." She moaned as he slowly pushed his way inside of her. He trailed kisses down her neck and shoulder. She fisted her hand in his hair and gripped his back with the other. He teased her with his slow movements. "Please Kurama." She begged between pants.
He looked at her eyes as he started pumping in and out of her faster. She dug her nails into his back. Moaning as he growled and pounded into her harder. "Your moans are like music to my ears. Makes me want to stay like this forever." He captured her lips in a passionate kiss. Their tongues danced and slid around each others. Ren moaned in his mouth. He broke the kiss with a gasp as he felt Ren's body tense and squeeze around him, throwing him off the edge. The room filled with their moans as they came. He slowed to a stop and pressed his forehead to hers. "Now we both need a bath." He simply smiled.
"You did that just to get me to take another bath with you." She fake pouted as he set her down.
"Perhaps." He chuckled when she pushed him away.
Their bath was less then eventful until Ren started a water fight. Kurama had barely gotten his hair washed before he was splashed in the face. They squealed and laughed while splashing and trying to dunk each other under the water. Kurama was now standing in the middle of the tub watching Ren swim patterns around him under the water.
"What the hell are you doing Kurama?"
