35. Full Moons And Raging Hormons

They had been walking all day; with nothing to do. Just three teenagers and a adult who was not right in the head.

Yep...

This was the worst thing to be caught up in. Boredom, And Teenage boys.

Nanami sighed and yawned, they had been walking since before dawn and now the sun was setting, The valley was still so far away and the flooding was pouring out. The ground was even soggy and the Present Tomoe seemed to cringe with every step. His feet soaked into the ground and Nanami wondered if there was any sink holes around.

Thats would suck; She already almost drowned, And almost died from a fever. She did not want to fall into a sink hole. A sink hole full of water like a natural made well.

A place to drown; in a sea of darkness. Light didn't reach past the trees and the drown in a sink hole when it was pitch black? You'd probably die from a heart attact first before the water got to your lungs.

The girl shuttered and tugged at the silky hakamashita she was wearing. It was soft and she would rub two pieces of the fabric together to make it slip with her fingers. It was comfortable and she wondered if Tomoe wore it because of this or because he was stickler for tradition.

There was no place to camp that was dry except for a rocky area that the water hadn't reached. Of course if they woke up in the pools of stinky river water then they would have to pracitally swim out.

Nanami shuddered at the idea and was suddenly stopped when she walked into Tomoe's back. She looked up but all she saw was his shot hair cut. The girl groaned.

"Why did we stop?"

Mikage winced and looked around; his eyes traveling over the surface. He bared his teeth slightly and then sighed out.

"Yep, We're lost."

Tomoe clenched his fist and Nanami stepped away from him,

"You mean to tell me we've been walking in the this water for hours with no reason behind it!?" his voice rose at each second and Nanami shuttered slightly.

Mikage laughed nervously and looked at the fervant teenage fox, " I know you don't like water but you don't have to-"

"STOP TELLING EVERYONE MY PERSONAL BUSYNESS!" Tomoe yelled out and then tried to calm himself down. He breathed out and then cast a cold glance to Nanami.

"We're going to a high hill. We'll camp there and find our way in the morning."

Nanami nodded at his seriousness and watched him storm away in pure hatred. Nanami choked of the atmosphere and looked at Mikage. The god was shaking his head and looking up at the sky,

"Its gonna be a full moon tonight; " Mikage sighed, " What a bother."

Nanami blinked and titled her head, " Whats wrong with the full moon?"

The past Tomoe seemed to understand what the god was saying and turned crimson within two seconds. He mumbled something under his breath and Nanami could of sworn it was a threat. He walked past them and Mikage chuckled lightly.

"I don't get it!" Nanami wailed and Mikage shook his head lightly.

"Its a little legend that Humans become wilder on a full moon; plus Babies are often conceived and born on full moon nights." Mikage smiled while explaining.

Nanami furrowed her brow and titled her head, " What does that have to do with Tomoe?"

Mikage smiled, " Tomoe is a Yokai; If Humans can get out of hand...Well, Just think what a Yokai can do." He chuckled, " Tomoe has ALWAYS been A LOT more wild on full moon nights, why do you think I got him to drink with me?"

Nanami shook her head confused.

Mikage smiled, " So he would drink himself to sleep and I wouldn't get a call from the village saying to come pick Tomoe up from the Red Light District or whatnot!"

Nanami gaped at the man and his clever tatics. Who would of Known that Tomoe lost his cool every once in a while?

"Of Course.. " Mikage paused, " He only has this moment at least once per month. The other nights its a full moon I just got him drunk so I wouldn't have to hear him complain about me being a lackful god.." Mikage tapped a finger to his chin and Nanami gasped,

"Thats devious!"

Mikage laughed innocently " Oh I know dear!"

Nanami stood there shocked but then shook her head slightly. She didn't even want to know the details of what could go wrong, She just shrugged it off and went the camp site.

Once there she sat down by the fire and warmed her hans slightly. She looked up to see the Pats Tomoe sharpening his katana and the Present Tomoe looking off into the forest.

"What are you up too?" She asked as she looked at both teens.

The past Tomoe just sent her a half hearted sigh while the Present one looked at her and narrowed his eyes. It sent a shiver down the girls spine and she pulled her knees to her chest trying to hide the raging sound of her heart.

Tomoe wouldn't be able to hear it would he? His ears were so sensitive to everything..

He had been acting strangly and Nanami didn't knwo why; She suspected the up coming full moon but this had been happening for a while now. She had no idea that Tomoe was still going through Demon puberty or whatnot..

The teen looked at her; his violet eyes flashing with something almost feral, Then they returned to their normal state.

His voice started to speak and at first she wasn't paying attention. His words were rich and his eyelashes flicked every once in a while when he blinked. His shoulders were broad and his neck was strong. He was handsome.. No doubts about it. Even his hair radiated with the moon light above him,

"Did you not hear me?"

Nanami paused as her eyes grew wide, Crap. She hadn't been listening at all!

"Um.. "

Tomoe huffed out a breath that Nanami had grown used to and the past Tomoe rolled his eyes before examining his katana and holding it to the moons beam. It flicked in the eerie light and Nanami gulped; She knew what that thing could do..

The Present Tomoe sighed as the wind picked up and thrashed through his hair. It made him look ferice but also gentle. She couldn't ply her eyes away from him even if she wanted to.

"We are going to get something to eat. Stay here and be obediant." The fox spat out as he turned and marched away with his Past self. Nanami huffed out an irritated breath as his body swayed back and forth with his walking movements.

The girl flushed and looked away; cursing at herself silently for even thinking about him at all. He had rejected her.. But that didn't stop her heart from beating heard against her chest and lungs.

Past And Present Tomoe

The Younger demon flashed his sword and smirked when blood splattered on the ground. Its warmth screamed out to him while the Present Tomoe looked away in disgust.

"I do not see how I used to enjoy such horrid things.." He muttered under his breath slightly.

The past Demon shrugged his shoulders and picked up the mother wild bore and threw it over his shoulders; careful not to get the blood on his clothes and staining his precious haori.

"Who said I enjoyed it?" He huffed out and cringed at the smell the blood gave off.

"Your smile." Tomoe spat out and flicked a bang out of his line of sight. He glanced up at the moon and ground his teeth. It would show its full nature soon and Tomoe didn't think he wanted to feel that way right now. His body was actually aching from walking all day and his hormons was something he didn't want to deal with right now.

He growled under his breath and the past tomoe shrugged his shouders, " I do not like it either.."

"Pfft, At least I have more self control." Tomoe muttered slightly in annoyance.

The long haired demon glared at him and sighed, " I do not have to care about self control.. I can control anything I please at this time." He paused, " Why is that not the same in the future?"

The Present Tomoe ranked a hand through his beautiful white hair and ground his kanines on his bottom lip, " When I became a familiar things were calmed down; but.. Some things remained that I would rather not speak of."

The Past Tomoe knew what he meant. Not only did he deal with lust, but he delt with Blood Lusts. It was far more worse than crushing on a female. It was the exact opposite.

It was the want to kill.. And the want to see blood dripping from your finger tips.

The fox looked at his Present self and narrowed his eyes, He suspected that once he became a familiar that those things were taken away; but the Present Tomoe seemed to not reject the fact that he was warry to having his feeling come gushing out all at once.

Not only did their emotions go out of wack but so did their bodys. In the morning they felt like crap and they ached everywhere. What a pain it would be to travel in that condition; but it was better than drowning.

They walked back to the camp and noticed the fire crackling lightly. Ashes traveled through the wind and the sweet scent of cherry wood filled the air; bringing back both Tomoe's to times when they were younger and enjoyed their lives a little.

The Past Tomoe chucked the bore out his shoulders and Glanced at Nanami who seemed shocked to see such a large meal. The fox took a stick and with no problem thrust it through the pig; not heeding the disgustng sound it made when it hit important organs.

The present Tomoe glared and yanked the stick back out and thrust a finger towards the now pale girl,

"Fool! " He hissed, " You will make her sick! Plus!" He hit the younger demon in the head with the stick and chucked it into the forest, " You have to gut it first!"

The Younger demon snarled his lip and took a step forward before Mikage stepped btween the two, " Okay, Settle down.. It looks like the night is starting to take its toll."

Both Tomoes' Flushed with embarrassment. Probably because Mikage Just HAD to mention that little fact in Nanami's pressence. The girl giggled at their looks and when they glared she yelped and jerked her head away. Mikage smiled and sat down with the Past demon.

The demon growled as his ears flattened. He glanced at Nanami and notcied she was done laughing and was now back to staring at the bore in disgust. He sighed, He hoped he didn't make he sick already..

Mikage chuckled, " Stop staring, You look like a love sick puppy."

The Younger demon flushed and started to prepare the pig in embarrassment, " Thats not it!"

His hands shook and he cursed at his vulnerability. This was why he hated these nights. It was the time when he either flirted or drunk himself to sleep.

Mikage smiled and looked at the bore, " I'll show you a few things that Humans like to eat; First..Cut that part out and disguard it. That would even make a god throw up."

Tomoe cocked his head and did so, " Strange.. Thats Akura-ous favorite part.'

Mikage gagged but then chuckled, " Okay, Lets begin with the rest! Call it your first Father, Son cooking lesson!"

The demons ears flattened but he didn't deny what the god said.. Besides.. What was a father?

A Little Later; With Present Tomoe and Nanami

Nanami sighed and smiled She couldn't believe she just ate that. She really didn't think she would be able to stomach it after what The Past Tomoe did to it; but it proved to be satisfying; but then again, Everything Tomoe did was.

She glanced at the Fox and her eyes widened. He was laying on his stomach and staring into the fire. The flames danced in his violet eyes giving him a mysterious feel, His mouth was parted slightly and he blinked only a few times, She couldn't help but stare. She had been all day after all..

Thats when the fox looked at her and he litarally smirked. She was surprised and little taken off her guard. She was alone with him.. The Past Tomoe and Mikage had gone to the flood sight to wash off the dinner utensals. So it was just him and her...

"Take a picture, It will last longer." He smirked like a little devil and Nanami turned red from his comment.

"W-Why would I do that?"

His smirk grew; if possible. Then he flopped on his side and smiled, " You were staring.. The thing about it was.. I do believe." He paused and glanced at her; His look giving her a chill,

Sadly his words left his mouth and Nanami blinked in shock.

"You were checking me out, Huh?" He smirked as Nanami cursed out loud and crossed her arms in irritation.

"WAS NOT!W-WHY WOULD I DO THAT!?" She could feel her cheeks burn.

The fox shrugged his broad shoulders and then paused, " You were staring at me.. And your eyes were moving in all sorts of directions. It felt a bit rude but also so seductive." His voice sounded richly and Nanami gulped.

Was this the full moon? He was actually going to tease her? TOMOE? It was strange to her...

The fox looked at her and his eyes traveled over her. Nanami swallowed, She was feeling pretty self consious right about now.

"W-What are you doing?"

The fox laughed, " Returning the favor."

Nanami swallowed as the fox hopped up. Whe he walked it was almost like he was walking on air. His feet hit the ground lightly and his hair blew about in the lite wind. It was different then before... His eyes were fervent, and they weren't going back to normal.

He walked into the woods and the girl relaxed,looking at the place were he walked off. She hugged herself and then gasped when a hand rubbed down her arm in a teasing manner.

Nanami looked down at the hand and whimpered slightly, The hair was oh so familiar. She just didn't know how he snuck up on her like that. His breath fanned against her neck and a chuckled erupted from his chest.

He put his hands on her shoulders and slid his hands down her arms slowly and seductively. Nanami gulped and shuddered at his touch.

"Why were you checking me out, Huh? Nanami..." He whispered huskly in her ear.

Nanami whimpered slightly and tried not to look at him; She tried to not to sigh at his touch. His touch that could make any girl pass out.

His finger trailed to her neck and stopped on his little mark. It had begun to heal but there was still a trance of his teeth indintions.

"You know.." His voice grew quieter and Nanami yelped when he pressed his mouth to her neck, Her smirked against her skin, " I think this mark should stay a little longer.."

Nanami's eyes grew wide as she felt his sharp teeth bite down into her skin. His hot tongue flickered across the surface as he bit down, mumbling something. He sighed and Nanami gasped out in shock and pain.

"Ow.."

Tomoe smirked.

"Tomoe.. That hurts.. Stop it." Nanami ground out through her teeth.

The fox sucked lightly and Nanami moaned and covered her mouth in embarrassment. Tomoe chuckled and pulled his mouth away, examining his little mark on her fresh skin. Then Nanami felt his breath on her ear and she closed her eyes, fearing the worst.

He ran his tongue over the rim of her ear and then bit down slightly, enjoying himself. He licked away and then kissed behind her ear. He pressed kisses on the back of her neck and Nanami stayed still the entire time. Shock written on her face.

She was scared to death by this point...

"Tomoe.."

"Hum" He muttered between a kiss.

"Stop... It..." She shuddered as he rubbed her arms again.

"You were checking me out right? I'm returning the favor..." He brought his mouth to her ear and whispered, "

'Passionatly..."

Nanami turned red and suddenly stood up leaving Tomoe to flop over on his butt and look at her confused. The girl turned to look at him and pouted slightly.

"Tomoe control yourself please.."

He let out a growl that signified he didn't want to, Then he stood up and dusted himself off. He walked over to her and pressed his mouth fully on hers; moaning slightly. His ears pinned and Nanami gasped for air.

He pulled away so she could breath; then he kissed her air, His heart swelling up to new levels. He moaned.

He had been wanting to kiss her like this for a while now. Ever since she kissed him in fact. Tomoe's insides were telling him to stop but his body and hormons were in rule tonight. He run his tongue over the roof of her mouth; moaning like an animal.

Nanami pushed him away forcefully and gasped for air, " T-Tomoe..STOP!"

Word binding shine out and Tomoe's body retched in pain. He flopped on his butt and whimpered slightly at the impact.

"Leave me alone! You Can not touch me until I say so!" She sqreeched; still red.

Tomoe eyes grew wide as he saw his new hickey mark bleed. He bit down that hard huh? Haha. Oops.

She glared at him and stomped over to the fire. She plopped down and Tomoe's ears twitched. His body was screaming at him and for some reason he went from the world's biggest flirt, To the worlds most shy person.

His eyes grew wide and his whole face turned red. He looked down and mumbled something like, 'Ah Crap, I'm an Idiot.'

His change in atittude didn't go unnoticed because Nanami looked at him with wide eyes. She titled her head to the side and Tomoe blushed even more. His ears flattened and he let out an animal like whine; signifying his discomfort at the moment.

Thats when Mikage ame back and told the Past Tomoe that they would be leaving in the morning. He turned his head and saw Nanami was bleeding and then jerked his head towards Tomoe in shock.

The fox winced and tried to block out all of Mikage's screaming;

"YOUR SO GROUNDED!" Mikage screeched and Tmoe gave him a look that said 'You got to be kidding right?'

The Past Tomoe furrowed his brow, " What is grounded? What does that mean?"

Nanami dragged a hand down her face as Tomoe got scolded to a new level. For once tomoe didn't argue back he just had a look of panic of his face. The brwn haired girl glanced at The Past Tomoe who was sitting beside her and she inched her way away from him.

He looked at her confused but then shrugged his shoulders and took out his pipe..

Yep, Hormons were the worst..
