Sora and Riku had the hardest time getting the unconscious kitsune youkai into the house. The tried to set her down but managed to drop her on accident. The younger Keyblade wielder started to panic.
"Sora calm down," Riku said sternly. "If you start to panic it's not going to help her in the least."
He was beyond worried about his counterpart. Her wounds weren't healing like they normally did. They managed to get her into a comfortable position on the living room floor. At Riku's insistence Sora went to get warm water and a wash clothes. The two of them began to wash her down. Destiny didn't even growl in pain or protest and that worried the two of them. Sora began to dig through his pockets frantically.
"Sora what are you looking for?"
"I had a high potion left somewhere but I can't remember where I put it."
He dug through his pockets and finally found it. Pulling it out the liquid glowed with a brilliance that bespoke of the magic it still held after all that time. He smiled as he began to pour the liquid over her wounds. They closed up under the high potions magic.
"You know Sora that is cold," Destiny growled softly.
"You wouldn't wake up," Sora began.
"I was awake ever since the two of you dropped me."
"Sorry," both said softly.
"It's no big deal."
She rose up unsteadily and changed into her humanoid form. The kitsune youkai tipped forward and landed against Sora's neck. He brought his arms up and hugged her and to steady her shaking body.
"I was so worried," he whispered softly into her ear.
Riku discreetly left the room.
"Sora we need to stop and start your training."
"You're hurt though."
"Pain is only fading."
"Destiny you can barely stand."
"We need to get started as soon as possible."
Sora was getting irritated by her lack of care for herself. He was tried and he knew she must be too. He didn't want to have to do this but he had no other choice.
"Destiny I order you to stand down. I want you to rest."
Destiny growled at him. "Don't give me that."
Sora made her follow him to his room. She stood before the bed with an angry expression on her face. He smiled at her with a look that made the youkai wary.
"Sora what are you thinking?"
He reached up and took her face in his hands. Their eyes locked. Destiny was getting nervous that the scents that were strengthening. "Don't even think about it Keyblade Master."
"But Destiny…"
His voice was getting low and seductive. She would have backed up but the bed was right behind her. "Destiny you know I love you."
"Sora to love me would require you to know me and you don't know me."
"I know more about you than anyone else."
Her eyes flashed crimson. A threatening snarl escaped her throat. Her head jerked back out of his grasp. She had to everything in her power to prevent this from happening. He still didn't have a concept of a bond like that would be forever. Turning she leapt up on the bed and out the window. She landed gracefully before leaping forward and heading towards the beach. Without stopping she dove into the ocean and swam the long distance to Destiny Island. Once she reached the island she was heaving and trying to catch her breath. With a heavy plop she laid down on the sand. It clung to her fur. Her ears twitched and she began to whimper and whine considering that body couldn't sob. A storm was coming and she could smell the thunderheads rolling across the sky. No one would come for her here and all the others were at their homes. Getting up, Destiny moved towards the old cave. She didn't go in very deep just enough to shelter herself once the rain started. Sora's pain washed through her like a tidal wave. With another strangled whimper she curled up on herself. The sound of running feet on sand made her jerk and her head came up. Surely no one had found her already. Getting up she went outside. The wind was blowing violently. She could hear someone calling her name.
"Damn that boy," she snarled.
She moved towards the shore. There was a small dark figure fighting through the choppy water. He was calling her name. He was foolish if he thought for a moment he could swim that during a storm. She waded out into the shallows. Sure enough the moron was trying to get to her.
"I wasn't made for swimming this much," she growled before she leapt out for him.
She swam swiftly toward him. He was having trouble staying above the water. A few more strokes and she had him in her jaws. It didn't take her long to drag him to shore and into the relative safety of the cave. Sora coughed and sputtered the salt water out of his lungs.
"WHAT THE HELL WERE YOU THINKING?!" she yelled at her Master.
"Destiny…"
"Shut up you damned fool! I'm trying to keep you from a big mistake."
"What mistake is making love to the person you love?"
"Because Sora if I do this you'll be mine forever, and you can't understand forever."
Sora watched in fascination as she kept changing from, form to form as she fumed. The Keyblade wielder moved forward when she was about to shift into her humanoid form and slammed her against the wall of the cave. His lips planted on hers. His fingers threaded through her hair and his fingers ran over her ears. He felt a shudder run through her body. Sora pulled back and rested his forehead against hers.
"Love me that's all I ask."
"Is that a command?" he asked softly as if it saddened her.
"No, I want you to love me because you love me."
"Love is a human emotion, but if you want me to take your virginity so bad than I will."
His eyes widened then they filled up with tears. Destiny knew that she was hurting him but in the end it would be for his own good. Sora without warning sneezed.
"Now you have a cold."
"I'll be fine."
"Bull," she growled.
He watched her shift into her beast form. Her fur was completely dried. "Take off your clothes."
"What?!"
"What? Not so anxious to get me in bed now?"
"I…"
"You're clothes being on is going to make you sicker. Now get out of those wet clothes."
Sora reluctantly took off his clothes while the youkai had her back turned to him.
"What now?"
He put his clothes up on a rock to dry. Sora looked at her cautiously. Something was thrown at him. Pulling it down from his face he realized it was her youkai cape. It was her black one with the silver fox emblazoned on the back.
"Wrap up in that and then curled up next to my side."
He nodded and wrapped himself up in the cloak that smelled like the youkai herself. Destiny lay down and rested her head on her outstretched forepaws. Sora leaned against her and easily fell asleep. The youkai took her Master's scent in and realized something was off about his scent. Taking a better scent she realized what it was. With the normal scent of him the scent of tea and a strong aphrodisiac was on him. This concerned her like nothing else. She suspected who it was that had given the potent stuff to him but wasn't going to do anything about it. Sora would just have to sleep it off or so she hoped. Laying her head down by her Master's she soon joined him in sleep as the storm raged outside.
