Hmm... still Kuroune's mind. R&R please! I DO NOT OWN YYH OR INU! ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ 'Oh man! What am I going to wear!' Kuroune thought frantically, as he paced around his room. The day before, Tajia had asked him to dinner. "Can I help?" asked a kind voice. Kuroune turned to see Sarah, his mother standing at the door. Kuroune smiled. "Please!" He ran a shaking hand through his long red hair, his green eyes portraying his nervousness. Sarah smiled. "Alright then! Just do me a favor and relax." She said, gesturing to his muscular yet skinny frame, which was shaking underneath his white shirt and pants. "I'm nervous..." He murmured. "I can understand why!" Kuroune nodded. "Now, could you help me?" "Of course." She said, walking over to the dresser at the far side of the room. As she walked, Kuroune noticed for the first time how young his mother was. In human years, she wasn't more than 15, but in demon years, she was 76. While he was watching her, he saw all the features his father must love. Her long honey-blond hair curled slightly, even in the ponytail. Her bright blue eyes that changed colors depending on her mood, her slender back, and slightly skinny frame portrayed how delicate she was, yet hid her inner strength. "How about this Kuroune?" Her voice echoed into his mind. "Hm?" She held up a white pair of pants and a shirt, along with a blue and yellow over slip. "Your father wore this when he met me. Well, something like it." She said fondly. Kuroune smiled, and nodded. "If my father met his mate wearing that, then I shall." Sarah smiled suddenly, then covered her mouth to stop from laughing. "What is it?" He asked. "Kuroune. You are a little young to be looking for a mate ne?" said a smooth voice. Kuroune turned once again to see Kurama standing there. Sarah laughed. "He meant it figuratively Kurama-kun." "Oh did he now." He said, smiling at both Sarah and Kuroune. Kuroune flushed slightly, but nodded. "I did dad." "Well, I just came upstairs to let you know there is a particularly beautiful young lady downstairs waiting for you." "What!? Tajia's here!? Already!?" Kuroune cried, gathering up the outfit from his mother, and running into the bathroom to change. Sarah laughed and walked over to Kurama. "Is she really here?" She asked softly. "Of course. I wouldn't lie to him." He smiled softly, taking her into his arms and kissing her lightly. When Kuroune finally got ready, he dashed out through his room, kissed his mothers cheek, hugged his dad, and ran downstairs only to almost smack into Tajia. "Oh! Kuroune, you look nice." said Tajia, eyes wide at the prospect of almost having the young kitsune smacking into her. Kuroune looked at himself, only to see his slip-shirt was on backwards. "Here, let me help." She said softly, gently untying the sash, and turning the slip. Kuroune trembled softly as her fingers grazed the side of his neck. "There, all set." She smiled, looking over him when she was done. 'He cleans up rather nice!' She thought softly. Kuroune looked down at himself, and smiled lightly. "Thank you Tajia." She just nodded. "Well. Ready?" She said, turning slightly. Kuroune's eyes widened as he saw her fully for the first time. Her slender form was clad in a light pink kimono, with red rose petals scattered over it. It really highlighted her silver hair and gold eyes. "You look really pretty Tajia." 'Wait a minute, did I just say that!?' Tajia smiled lightly. "Thank you Kuroune-kun." Kuroune saw her turning to the door, so he dashed in front of her, and rested a hand on the doorknob, just as she did. But instead of jerking his hand back, he lightly took it in his own, and opened the door. Tajia blushed very slightly. 'Did he just....take my hand?!' She thought quickly, looking at her own hand in his. "Yes I did." Kuroune said under his breath. "Y-You....you can hear my thoughts?!" She said quickly. Kuroune nodded. "I am telepathic." Tajia didn't respond, just looked at the ground, careful not to think anything too important. A small chuckle sounded from beside her, and she lifted her head to see Kuroune laughing quietly. "What's so funny?" She asked. Kuroune shook his head, and the sweet scent of roses slid over to her. "Nothing." He said simply, lacing his fingers gently between hers. ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ BAH! Not very long again! Sorry. Next chappie is going to be about Tajia getting ready, and trying to keep it from Sesshoumaru hehe. Review please!
