Chapter 3

"Kaori!? What re you doing here.what's wrong?" Kurama looked at a soaking wet girl. Her cheeks were tearstained, and her skin was so pail from the cold she looked like a ghost. Kurama pulled her inside. He put both hands on her shoulders and bent down slightly to look her in the eyes. "what's wrong Kaori?" Kurama asked more desperately.

Tears started to roll down Kaori's cheeks. She looked away. "My parents and I had a big argument, so I ran out of the house. They said we are moving far away, out of country. I cant do it Kurama. I just cant. The demon hunters will just find me again, cause chaos in another area. They will find out I have family, and try to hurt them as well." Kaori started to cry. Kurama bought her tightly to his chest in a strong hug. He could feel her tears tickle his chest.

Kaori felt the warmth of Kurama's body. She was freezing she felt ashamed for barging into his house, and slightly embarrassed that he was in nothing but a towel. Kurama pulled her away examining her. "Come with me, but you will have to be quiet.my mother is sleeping." Kurama brought Kaori to his room. He closed the door, and walked over to his dresser. He pulled out a pair of warm pajama's and handed them to her. "You will catch a cold Kaori. Put those on." Kurama said softly turning around. Kaori hesitantly changed into his pajamas, the pants being a little longer for her legs. Kurama turned around. "How did you get my address anyway?" Kurma said walking over and whipping a tear from her cheek. "I remember it from the school listing sheet.this is really pathetic, I shouldn't have come here." Kaori said heading for the door. "Wait!" Kurama said desperately, pulling her arm. She spun around, looking Kurama in the eye. They stood there for a few moments. "You.cant go out there you will.catch cold." Kurama finally said letting go of her arm. "You right Kurama.besides. I definitely have no where els to go. Im not going back home. At least not tonight." Kaori said folding her arms. Kurama walked back over to his dresser and pulled out a pair of pants. Kaori turned around while Kurama dropped the towel and started changing. Kaori couldn't help but to sneak a little peak. She slowly turned around to find Kurama's back turned toward her. Damn he has a nice ass! She thought to her self. She quickly turned around after he got his boxers and pants on.

Kurama knew she looked. He saw her reflection in the window across from him. It made him smile to think that she fancied him . "You could turn around now." Kurama said tapping her on the shoulder. Kaori turned around, a new tear running down her face. Kaori thought of all the things she would leave behind, especially Kurama. They were finally starting to get close. "Kurama how could I do this? This is putting my family in danger! I tried to give them an explanation, but they don't understand.they never will." She cried trying to keep it quiet for his mother.

Kurama walked over and put an arm around her waist. She flung her arms up around his neck and started to cry. "I know how you feel Kaori." Kurama whispered into her ear as he leaned his head on hers. "It will be alright."

"How can it be alright?" she said looking up into his brilliant green eyes.

"Because it always turns out that way." Kurama whispered. Kaori looked at him. Kurama leaned in closer , his lips almost touching hers. He paused, his eyes still closed. Kaori closed her eyes, not exactly sure of any of this. Kaori could feel Kurama's breath as he came a little closer. ".Kurama." Kaori whispered. ".don't.." Kurama stopped, once again, not opening his eyes, and staying right where he was. " it's your choice Koari." Kurama said barely in a whisper. Kaori stood there, only centimeters away from Kurama, feeling very confused and uncomfortable. She loved him, she truly did, but She didn't want to get close to him if she was to move away. Annother warm tear slid down her cheak from the corner of her closed eye. "I wont hurt you Kaori." Kurama said in another whisper...

Kurama pulled away, feeling hurt in his kind heart. Kurama looked down in shame and went to turn around, but Kaori grabbed his hand. She pulled him close to her. She flung her arms around his neck and kissed him passionately on the lips. Kurama's heart skipped a beat as she depend the kiss.

Kaori could feel Kurama's toungue sliding against hers. Every second felt like heaven. Kurama couldn't even think staright as he pulled away and started kissing and biting Kaori's neck.

".Kurama.stop.I .I cant do it." Kaori finally said. Kurama stopped. "you are going to be one more thing I have to leave behind." Kaori whimpered. She walked over and sat on the bed. Kurama followed and sat down next to her. He took her hand in his. "It will be alright Kaori, and I will always be with you in here." Kurama pointed to her heart, and then to her head. "We could still call each other. I will make sure you are protected Kaori. No hunter will come near you our your family. Kaori sighed, then forced a smile. She hugged Kurama very tightly. Kaori giggled, pushing Kurama down on the bed. Kurama felt his head hit his pillow as Kaori crawled over to his other side and laid down on her stomach, raising her head to kiss Kurama. He started to laugh as she playfully tugged on his ear with her teeth as a joke. Kurama took Kaori in his arms and tickled her. He finally got her to smile. She settled down into his arms feeling sleepy and protected. Both Kaori and Kurama slowly feel into a relaxing sleep, knowing they were together and loved each other.
