Kokoro No Kaitou : Once Lost, Now Found
Chapter 11
~*~
Amaya sighed, and dipped her feet into the cool water. She was at her sanctuary, her second home. It was a nice, quite place about twenty miles or so from the Shinobi village. There was a pond, and pouring into that pond was a waterfall - a small one, but still a waterfall.
Behind said waterfall was a cave, where Amaya sometimes went to meditate. There were enough supplies in there to last her a week, as well as a futon and some meditation candles - small trinkets that sometimes did the trick. She could hide out there for a while, should she need to. She had never done so before - that is, until now.
The full moon was to be that night, and she wanted to be in a place that she would be incapable of harming anyone. She had set up wards around the clearing on the trees for that very purpose. She wanted to make sure that no one was near when her powers went out of control.
There could be no casualties if there was no one around to hurt.
Still, she had taken precautions. She had teleported all the way there, which cost her most of her energy. That meant that when her powers did peak, she would be too weak to do so much as make an aura. Her rei-ki was spent.
But there was a downfall to that. Should a wandering demon attack, she would be defenseless. Another reason she put up the wards. They permitted only her through them, and thus there could be no attack from wandering demons.
She sighed, and pulled out a rice ball from the bundle of food that she had brought along. She had rice balls, some candies and sweets, and some bread. Some simple things, but they were enough for now.
She chewed her food thoughtfully. Lately, ever since she was in Reikai, her mind had been filled with so much information. And then there was the little girl whom she had seen there…
Who was she, and why was she there? She looked a lot like Tsuki, but Tsuki was in heaven, with the other tennyos. And she knew quite well that Tsuki was not a little girl. So then who was the enigmatic figure that had led her to the pictures? Kurama had said that he didn't see anyone leave the room, other than herself…
And what about those photos? Kurama had told her that the kanji was for moon, which may or may not have something to do with her…
She snorted. Unfortunately, everything seemed to involve her. Surely these bugs were linked to her as well…? Maybe they were after tennyos, or something strange and twisted like that. But that couldn't be it, because Jin and the others had gotten them as well…
She fell back onto the lush grass, and watched the clouds float by, stained orange, red and pink by the setting sun. She didn't want them to be linked to her…sometimes, she wished that she had never met Youko, because then she never would have found out that she was a tennyo, and so on and so forth.
She smiled slightly. But if she hadn't met Youko, she would be dead. And she would have never found out what love felt like… And she never would have had her daughter, whom she cared for more than anything in the whole world…
No. She didn't regret meeting him. She just wished that she could talk to him, about her powers, and about everything else in her life that seemed to be going wrong at the moment…
~*~
Kurama sneezed, and sniffled. "Hm. Maybe someone is thinking about me…"
He quickly shook his head to focus himself, and closed his eyes. He was currently a little ways away from the Shinobi village, and was trying to pick up where Amaya had gone. He could feel her energy somewhere, quite a bit further from where he was. But with his human senses, it was hard to tell which direction…
He opened his eyes again. Maybe if he gave his youko side a chance to come out, he could find her with a bit more ease…
It was worth a try.
He let his own consciousness slip under the control of his darker half, and felt the familiar sensation of falling…
Youko easily took over his human counterpart's mind, and was able to make the transformation. Normally, he would not have been able to do this without a little help from the fruit of the previous life drink that Suzuka had made, but he was stronger now. And because he was stronger, he could take over Minamino Shuichi with little effort…
And now that he was in his demon form, he further transformed into his fox form, so that his senses would be at their peak. Even now, he could lightly catch Amaya's scent on the breeze, despite the fact that she was at least a good twenty miles away.
He started running towards the place that her energy and scent were coming from. He was quite angry with her at the moment, for not telling him whatever was wrong with her.
Why wouldn't she? She was his mate, and he hers. So why would she keep a secret? Mates weren't supposed to keep secrets from one another…
He growled, and pushed himself to move even faster. This was just ridiculous!
They were definitely going to have a little 'chat' when he found her…
~*~
Amaya stopped splashing her feet in the water when she felt the chill crawl up her spine. There were two presences coming near to her sanctuary - one more powerful than the other. She took her feet out of the water, and slowly stood. This wasn't good…her barriers could only keep out demons that were weaker than she. But if they were stronger…
She needed to get into the cave. Now.
She grabbed her bundle of food, and made a move to jump into the water so she could swim to the other side, but stopped when she heard a noise. It sounded like some kind of animal crying out in pain…
She bit her lip, but she was too soft to leave an animal out there in pain. She quickly ran over to the south end of her wards, and stopped dead in her tracks when she saw what had been the source of the noise…
A silvery-white fox, with many tails, stood and shook itself. The blood on it's forehead was trickling down, staining the beautiful fur. It had golden eyes, and seemed to be glaring at her, in a way.
"Kurama…?" She said slowly. She knew that it was him, and she knew that he didn't look too pleased at being held back by her barriers. She bit her lip, and tried to decide what to do.
She knew that if she brought him in, she'd have to explain about her out of control powers - a subject that she suddenly didn't want to discuss with him. And if she brought him in, he'd have that chance of getting injured by said powers…
But on the other hand, if she didn't let him in, then he wouldn't get treated for his wound, and he would be very, very mad at her…
It was easy to decide, especially when she felt the more powerful force coming closer and closer.
She quickly ran out of her wards, and scooped him up into her arms. She then picked her bundle back up, and walked quickly back to the pond.
"Baka, why did you come here?" She said in a hoarse whisper, in case the other demon could hear her. "It's dangerous."
She looked back over her shoulder, and sensed that the demon was drawing nearer by the second. Youko gave her a look that she couldn't read, but she ignored him.
"Look, just take this, and hold your breath." She said quickly, holding up the bundle. He reluctantly took it into his mouth, and she started wading through the water. When she reached the base of the waterfall, she took a deep breath, indicating for the kitsune to do the same.
She dunked her head under the water, and swam under the waterfall, towards the cave in the back. She resurfaced, and put the gingitsune up on the stone. He promptly dropped the bundle, and shook to rid himself of the water. Amaya pulled herself out, and stood.
She looked back out in the direction that the demon had been in, though she couldn't see it through the stone wall.
She sighed in relief when she felt its presence moving away from them. She leaned over the water slightly, and started wringing out her hair.
The kitsune seemed to still be glaring at her from his corner of the room, near the edge of the water. She sighed, and looked over at him.
"Look, I'm sorry. I didn't think that you would mind getting a little wet, but I guess I was wrong." She said. She started wringing out her baggy black pants. She also had on a matching black tank top. "I really wish that I'd kept a spare yukata here." She grumbled.
She turned back to Kurama and he trotted over to the futon. She walked over to the futon as well, and sat down beside it. She leaned against the wall, and sighed.
She could feel his golden gaze burning into her while she sat there. It made her slightly uncomfortable, and she looked over at him.
"Kurama…come here. I want to heal your cut." She said.
He just sat there, not moving an inch. He was still glaring at her, and she was getting sick and tired of it.
She reached over and tried to grab him, but her moved out of her reach. She sighed, and rolled over onto her stomach.
"Kurama, please. I just want to make sure that that doesn't get infected."
She tried to grab him again, and again, he moved out of her reach. She growled, getting thoroughly fed up with whatever game - or maybe it wasn't even a game - he was playing, and promptly grabbed one of his tails.
He tensed up, and she pulled him into her lap. She smiled at him.
"There. Now I can heal you."
He glared at her once more, and she gently touched his forehead. Her hand glowed with silver light, and his wound closed up. He shook his head, and started to climb off of her lap. She caught him though, and hugged him to herself.
"Are you mad at me?" She asked quietly. "Please…please, I don't want you to be mad at me…"
He squirmed, and she let go of him. He trotted away a bit, and started to glow. He changed into his youko form, and looked back over at her.
"Damn straight I'm mad at you!" He growled. "Running away and not even telling anyone what was wrong? What the hell is up with that?!"
"I'm…I'm sorry…" She said quietly. She sat back against the wall, fighting back tears. She really, really didn't want him to be mad at her. "But believe me when I tell you that it was for the safety of the village."
"Still! Why didn't you tell me anything?!" He snapped.
"Because…because I couldn't." She said. Angry tears were welling up in her eyes. How can he be so insensitive?!
"Like hell, Amaya!" He shouted. "When I chose you to be my mate, I expected a bit more trust! But no, you can't tell me anything! Why not?!"
She jumped to her feet, so that she would look down at him. "Because if I told you, I'd get turned over to Reikai! They'd lock me up, and I'd never be able to see my daughter again!"
He jumped to his feet as well. "And what the hell makes you think that I'd ever turn you in to the Reikai officials?!"
"I…I mean, I-"
"Exactly!" He exclaimed. "I wouldn't."
"You don't have to be so mean about it!" She growled. "Just because I have a life, and I don't want to lose it, doesn't mean that you have to be nasty!"
"Now just wait a minute! I-"
"Oh, wait. I forgot!" Amaya said sarcastically, pretending to look thoughtful. "You don't have a life anymore. That's because you wouldn't listen to me when I told you that I had a bad feeling about you and Kuronue leaving like that! But no! Nobody listens to the CLAIRVOYANT PERSON!"
"Look, I made a stupid mistake! So stop hacking on me about it!" He growled.
"Stupid? Stupid? Kurama, that was BEYOND stupid." She said.
He growled again, and got very close to her face. "Listen, I'm apologizing here. I NEVER apologize, but I feel that you deserve it. So just accept it, okay? Then maybe we can stop fighting over pointless things."
"Pointless?! You left me by myself to raise your child, caused me seventeen years worth of hell, and now you want to come back and apologize?! Apologies are a little late!" She said.
For once, Youko didn't have a retort. There was nothing that could really top that…
Amaya sighed, and walked past him towards a small chest near the water. She opened it, and fished out some food. She then sat down against the wall, and pulled her knees to her chest.
The kitsune slowly turned around and looked at her, surprise written clearly on his face.
There was a deathly silence, in which both of them thought over what had been said. Youko was just beyond words. Nobody had ever dared to talk to him like that, and she just had. AND she got the last word.
Amaya kept glancing at him out of the corner of her eye. Great! Now she'd gone and done it! She's been worried about him being mad at her, and now he had to be pissed beyond belief!
"Hell…?" He said quietly. "It was hell?"
She sighed. "Yes. It was."
He walked over and flopped down beside her. "Amaya…"
"It's just…" She stopped, and wiped away a tear. "I mean, you were everything to me. I had to stay with Shishiwakamaru, and he wasn't anything like you. He didn't really care…and I missed you so much. And then, I found out that I was pregnant, and I was miserable. I knew that my baby wouldn't have a father, and I'd rather die than let Shishiwakamaru take that role. I would've done anything to have you back then…"
"You're using an awful lot of past tense there. Does that mean that you don't feel the same anymore?" He asked. "Because I still care about you, no matter what I say." He reached out and brushed away the tear that had started to fall down her cheek.
"Kurama, it's not that I don't love you, because I do." She said, closing her eyes. "It's just-"
She stopped suddenly. "Kurama…did you hear that?"
"Hear what?"
"Someone…calling me."
Someone that happens to sound like that little girl… She added mentally. She stood, and looked around. The presence was there, somewhere…
"I didn't hear anything." Youko said. He noticed that the tennyo seemed to have a distant look on her face.
Amaya slowly looked back towards the water. "I'm…going to go check it out."
She jumped into the water, and started swimming back towards the other side.
"Amaya! Wait!" He exclaimed, jumping in after her. Now what?
When he resurfaced, he was surprised at who else was there.
His eyes widened.
"It's her…"

Author's Notes : Yes, this chapter was kind of boring, and I apologize. But things should pick up in the next chapter, so hang tight.
Did anybody catch the subtle humor? Amaya says that her barriers keep out those weaker than her, and Youko couldn't get in. ^____^
Shessha's Crazy : How could I do what? But thanks for the compliment!
Story Weaver1 : T____T I'm sad now.
miyako14 : Yes! ^____^ I'm so mean!
DarkVixenNisha : Thanks, Nisha-chan! I'm glad that you support that pairing.
Suzaku no miko : Now you know where she went! And I don't know how anyone could NOT like Chuu, because he's really one of my favorite characters!!
FieryKitsune : We'll find out about the little sneak more in the next chapter, if all goes to plan. I probably shouldn't promise things, because sometimes when I write, things don't go as I wanted them to.
Katie E. : Ooooohhh. Maybe, maybe not. Maybe Naomi is really a guy or something… X___X That would be so wrong, yet so funny!
crimson7319 : Poor Kuwa-chan… XD
LuckyKoorime : Lucky-chan, criticism is bad, and CONSTRUCTIVE criticism is…slightly better. But she's based off of you, so you have the right to tell me when she's out of character. I thought about that, but decided that Dawn just didn't feel like arguing at the time…though I may have her and Hiei get into a fight. ^__^
Blue Pixie Dust : Thanks! I'm really glad about most everyone supporting that pairing, and I'm glad you like it too!
