Author's Note:
Finally! Chapter five ^^. Gomen. I've been a bit lazy... And sadly, I do have a reputation for being bad at updating past five... but I shall try. This chapter is a connector. Not very building... well... it's cute ^^
Note: I said in the last chapter that Kuronue's pendant was violet... I was wrong. That's his eyes. The jewel (pendant) is amber. Red. ^^ Sorry for the confusion. (Thank you Rose Thorne-senpai for telling me)
~*~
Tell me a story...
A story of life...
A story, of how you came to be...
~*~
"How... how are you possible?"
"Because... I'm not... I wasn't meant to be..."
~*~
It was a feeling he'd never known before. One so warm, so comforting, so unfamiliar, and yet... so right that is scared him.
Scared him to think he could lose it.
He held tighter, drew himself closer to the warm body beside him, feeling the silk white cloth brush against his skin. He leaned towards the other's chest.
It vibrated; beat, cried with life...
A mild silence had settled over them for hours now.
Hours of soft caresses, tender touches, just hours... hours of contact... Hours he loved; time he wished would go on forever...
Gentle hands fondled his hair, as if stubbornly believing that petting would tame it. The rebellious strands just stood back up, equally determined.
He could feel a rumbling escape from the throat above his head. The air vibrated. Humming.
It was quite tuneless, just a sound, a pattern that had come with the silence.
A warm, serene sound... He relished it.
No words were needed. It was a language that only the two of them understood.
He nuzzled his face further, coaxing some of the silken tresses to spill onto his face. He inhaled deeply, smelling the fresh scented strands lovingly.
Time seemed to stand still.
He wanted to talk, to put this feeling to words, and yet, no phrases surfaced.
He opened his mouth; still not sure what he was to say, the flame red hair kissed his semi-open lips.
"Why?" The only word he cold find. A question wavering uncertainly in the air.
The humming stopped.
He missed it.
"...Why what?" The other's soft voice inquired.
"Why... Why do you do this for me... when no one else ever has...?"
"Do what?" He growled in frustration, pushing himself away from his lover.
"Why do you love me?" He demanded. The youko looked surprised.
"Why shouldn't I?" The soft-spoken voice rivaled his anger.
"Because no one else ever has!" The calmness was shattered, replaced by this feeling... this need to accuse...
Emerald eyes held his heated gaze.
"Why...?" The soft voice repeated. It was wondering. His eyes held a sense of amusement. Then loneliness...
But the itching in his veins, this feeling wouldn't allow him to halt. He couldn't stop himself.
"What kind of trick his this, Kitsune?! What kind of sick joke is this?!" He grabbed the bare, sleek shoulders, shaking the fox out of frustration.
"What do you want from me?!"
Want.
Always something expected in return.
Always.
//What do you want from me?!//
His amber eyes were flashing, staring, boring into emerald ones.
//What do you want from me?!//
There was something in that gaze.
Something unnerving in those green eyes.
Something remembering, far away, a memory.
His core beat furiously at that look.
It scared him.
They weren't the eyes he knew.
Not the eyes he'd gazed into as they'd showed their love.
Not the eyes that had shone with love as they'd been coupled.
These eyes belonged to someone else.
//What do you want from me?!//
The lips he had found to be soft and sweet parted slowly.
"I want to show you... what He showed me..."
~*~
I could see your Light once upon a time...
And looked at the Sun till it blinded me...
~*~
The thrill of the chase.
The thrill of running.
The thrill of survival.
He ran, tails flying behind him. His fox form gracefully dodged, getting out of the way of an assault before it began.
His tongue was dangling.
The thrill was on him.
He cried out, not in fear, but in jubilation. The sound rang through the air.
His attacker was on his tail, running beside him, then slightly behind him.
He grinned, not noticeable in his fox form, but a grin nonetheless.
Then something tugged at his tail.
He fell.
He laughed.
"Got you!"
He allowed his body to shift. The youko lay in place of the fox, smirking slightly.
The black haired assailant was on top of him, violet eyes shimmering.
"I've caught you, Kitsune." It announced again, still gripping his tail, gently now.
"Yes, Hunter, you have." He complied playfully.
"I expect a prize..." They flickered, he grinned again, a sight any other Youkai would have fallen dead at.
"Take your prize, then, Hunter."
"Hn. I will!" The other proclaimed. Hot lips crushed onto the youko's smirking ones. The kitsune responded, wrapping his arms around the black haired Youkai, tangling his fingers in those midnight tresses.
They parted, panting slightly.
"And here, I was told you were a heartless killer, Youko." The 'Hunter' panted.
"That would be your fault, Chimera." The golden eyes glinted playfully.
"My fault for bringing you out of the closet?"
"It depends... which closet?" The black haired Youkai backed off, laughing.
"Baka! [1]" He hit the Kitsune on the head playfully, "You ruined the moment!" He accused.
"One of us had to." The Kitsune replied sheepishly.
"This play was your idea!" The Chimera replied.
"Well, Kuronue, life would be no fun without straying from the script." He said in defense.
"Honestly... this is the cold heated Youko Kurama?" He muttered playfully, speaking to no one in particular.
"Shut up." The youko replied.
"I guess I can take credit. After all, the first time I met you all you'd say was 'Hn' or 'Keh'."
"At least I didn't act like some rabid female Youkai in heat." He retorted.
"What?!" Kuronue jumped the Youko again, pinning him on the ground.
"I said. At. Least. I. Didn't-"
"Kurama..." The purple eyes glinted evilly. He swooped down again, claiming the fox's fair lips.
"You make me act like a kit." The Youko accused again.
"At least you don't act like a dead corpse." Kuronue snorted.
"Hn!"
"Keh!"
Kurama glared.
"I should never have fallen for you." He informed the Chimera.
"Mm... Good thing I'm persistent, huh?" Their lips touched again.
"...I'm still thinking about that one."
The fox received a hit to his head his comment.
"Well, at least you joke. I could barely get two words out of you in a day before." Kuronue recalled.
The winged demon looked down and was met by serious eyes. The golden orbs seemed to consider him.
There was a silence.
His black hair was spilled over his shoulders, his arms and legs trapping the Kitsune. Their hair mixed on the ground, silver to black.
A raindrop fell, hitting the Youko right in the forehead.
Neither laughed, they continued to stare.
Moist lips parted.
"I think..." More raindrops fell.
The Chimera listened, eyes wide, uncaring that he was becoming wet.
"I think I love you..."
~*~
"We have him..."

Damn it. I had perfect fluff and I killed it with the last quote ;x
Okay. I tried to make it fluff. I really did. And I think I did okay. Except the top portion. O.o and the ending o.O
