Chapter 27
Calm Before the Storm
Yukina's eyes fluttered open as the sunlight reached her eyes. She was lying on something warm. She smiled and looked up at her new boyfriend. He was still sleeping peacefully. Last night, she had the dream where she and Riku admit their love for each other but this time she didn't wake up when they kiss. Yukina placed a finger on her lips. Last night was her first real kiss. She sighed and snuggled more into him more.
After a few more minutes he still hadn't waken up so she decided to do it for him. She moved her face closer to his and kissed him passionately. Her arms slid around his neck. She was surprised when he moaned and slid his arms around her waist. He pulled her closer. He licked her lips begging for entrance. She opened her mouth and moaned when he slid his tongue in. They had a tongue war for the next five minutes.
When they broke they both were gasping for breath. "That was pretty naughty of you Yukina" he said teasingly. "Something about you just brings out something in me" she replied. "What time is it?" he asked as he tried to sit up to look at the clock. He couldn't cause Yukina was still lying on him. "It's 10:48" she said. "An hour and twelve minutes till my deadline" he said.
They got out of bed and headed for the living room. Everyone was there. "When did you all arrive?" Yukina asked. "We got here around nine. Where were you two?" Yusuke asked. "Sleeping" Riku replied quickly. "We've already made breakfast for you Riku" Keiko said next to Boton at the kitchen's entrance. The food was gone in under a minute. "How do you not choke?" Kuwabara asked. "No idea" Riku replied as he licked his lips.
"Better get ready" Riku said as he got up and headed for his room. He came back with his coat on and the Crescent Edge strapped to his back. Everyone headed outside.
"Good luck" Hiei mumbled. "Give him a good kick for Boton" Kurama said. "And don't forget Keiko and her parents" Yusuke added. "Kick his ass" Kuwabara bellowed.
Yukina walked up to him. She hugged him around his neck. They shared a long kiss. "Remember, you promised me you'd come back alive" she said. "I would never break a promise to you" Riku replied. "I love you" she said. "I love you to" he replied. They kissed one more time before Riku sped off into the forest.
"Koenma said the TV should be ready" Boton said as she went into the house. Everyone followed. They turned on the television and turned to channel 666. Riku appeared on the screen as he ran east to the temple. I know you'll win Yukina thought.
With Riku
Riku had been running at top speed for the past five minutes. Muraku had told him the temple ruins were east of Genkai's. He better not be playing games with me he thought. Then Muraku's scent reached his nose. Almost there.
A few seconds later, he entered a clearing. In the clearing were the ruins of a temple similar to Genkai's. Its huge stone walls were covered in moss. Broken statues littered the ground.
He looked around for Muraku. He found him leaning against a huge tree. "What do you know? Not a second late" he said standing up. "You'll pay for what you've done" Riku said. "We'll see about that" Muraku replied.
Sorry for the short chapter but the next one will be longer. Next chapter, the battle between Riku and Muraku begins. Review please.
