Chapter Seven
A/N: Just a note. Uh, Tenshi ain't a virgin, she's had other boyfriends when she lived in the future. So when it comes time to teach Juuroumaru *cough* that stuff, uh, she knows what to do cause he don't. You figure it out! :P Also I forget if I mentioned this or not but Juuroumaru has his old clothes back, he's not running around half naked. Even though you probably wish it. :P
*happy gasp* I have new reviewers!! Hurray! *does a happy dance*

The next morning when she awoke, Tenshi found Juuroumaru sitting in the large cherry tree that sat just off to the right of Yama's hut. After breakfast, Tenshi helped Yama in her herb garden pulling weeds. 'Ok, he's better now. Any idea what we do now?' Tenshi asked. 'I mean he's gonna get bored pretty quick just sitting around here.'
'He is or you are?' Yama asked.
'Both.' Tenshi replied.
'Ye must get him to have complete trust in ye and be sure the beast won't run off the first chance he gets. He must be loyal. He will likely die if he is left to his own devices.'
'He seems pretty strong to me.' Tenshi said.
'Ah, yes. Very. But he will kill if givin the chance. And then Taijiya will hunt him, in the end he will die. But if ye get him to suppress his urges, control them, he will live a better less violent life.' Yama explained.
'Great, great, what do I do with him?' Tenshi asked again.
'For now the beast is safe here, Naraku cannot find him. But should you leave and Naraku sees him, he will either try and get him back or kill him. I suppose if ye feel you must do something....ye can help the miko Kagome with her war against Naraku. Be ye warned to do this Juuroumaru must be loyal to ye and under ye control.' Yama said rising from her kneeling position.
'Ya think Juuroumaru is good enough to kick Naraku's butt?' Tenshi asked ripping another weed to shreds.
'Hai, child. Naraku could not control him when he was hollow, he fears the beast. Continue here I must see to something in the village.' Yama said before heading off.
'Yeah great, you go have fun while I pull more crappy weeds.' Tenshi grumbled throwing the destroyed weed away.
A little while later Tenshi felt herself being watched, looking back she found Juuroumaru sitting a few feet behind her staring at her intently. 'And hello to you to.' Tenshi said to him before turning back to the weeds, she was almost done. Juuroumaru crept a little closer until he was sitting, on the balls of his toes, right next to her. Tenshi glanced at him out of the corner of her eye and gave a small evil snicker, gathering up a little pile of torn weeds she abruptly turned and threw the little pile on his head. Juuroumaru growled as he shook his head to clear himself of the weeds, Tenshi however didn't give him much of a chance before she tackled him, sending him sprawling to the ground. Tenshi grinned down at the bewildered demon. 'You need to lighten up and have some fun.' She told him tapping him lightly on the nose. Juuroumaru grumbled a bit and pushed his weight upward and flipped them over, thus starting a wrestling match. Tenshi giggled and squealed with delight as she wrestled with him. She and Juuroumaru rolled down the little hill that the garden sat on coming to a rest at the bottom with Tenshi on the top. Juuroumaru landed with a grunt as Tenshi fell fully on top of him, Tenshi lay panting as she rested against him. Juuroumaru leaned forward into her neck and breathed in her sent, her heart was racing and she was a little sweaty, she smelled feminine and like vanilla an grass. Tenshi pulled back a little and stared down at the lavender-haired demon a little piffted that he didn't even looked to be a little out of breath. Juuroumaru stared back at beautiful raven haired girl above him, she was a lot of fun he decided leaning upwards to brush her lips with his. Tenshi giggled and leaned into his silent request for a kiss, underneath her Juuroumaru growled with delight. He really was become addicted like Yama had said, Tenshi thought as she deepened the kiss.
A little while later after she had finally gotten herself untangled from a reluctant-to-let-go Juuroumaru, Tenshi once again sat in the garden under a cedar tree; Juuroumaru sat beside her. Tenshi turned toward him sitting cross-legged. 'Ok, Juuroumaru! Language lesson time.'
Juuroumaru just looked blankly back at her.
Tenshi pondered on how she was gonna teach him to talk, sometimes she wondered if he even knew what she was saying. 'Juuroumaru, when I talk to you do you understand what I'm saying?' She asked him. Juuroumaru nodded his head slowly up and down and then side to side. 'Yes and no huh?' Tenshi guessed. Juuroumaru nodded yes. 'Can you say anything?' Tenshi asked. Juuroumaru shook his head no. 'I bet you can.' Tenshi told him. 'Yama said that you should be able to talk now that your healed, you just need to learn how. *pause* Make a growling sound.' Tenshi ordered him. Juuroumaru made a small growling sound. Tenshi nodded. 'Good. See you can make noise, you just need to learn to form words.....let's see what's a good word to start on?' Tenshi placed a finger to her lips and pondered this while Juuroumaru looked on. 'How about......great? Grrrrrreat. Yep, that sounds good. Try it. Grrrrrr-ate.' Juuroumaru just looked back at her. 'Come on!' Tenshi pleaded. 'Please?!'
o_o
Tenshi sighed. "Me thinks he needs bribed." Tenshi thought. 'If you don't learn to speak I won't be so willing with the kisses and the attention.' Juuroumaru just huffed and leapt into the tree branches above her head. 'Fine, be that way. But I'm not going to give you as much attention!' Tenshi said firmly to Juuroumaru who seemed to be ignoring her. Tenshi shook her head and headed back to the hut.
Over the next few days Tenshi ignored Juuroumaru somewhat, setting his food outside for him and then going back into the hut. She spent most of her time in the hut while Yama was away in the village, she knew Juuroumaru wasn't going to set foot back in there. Juuroumaru for his part sat out in the cherry tree pouting, he wasn't quite sure why she was ignoring him. Maybe he'd done something bad, or maybe she didn't like him anymore. Juuroumaru let out a mournful howl, he wanted the female to like him again.
'It sounds to me, child, that the beast is getting depressed.' Yama commented.
Tenshi sighed. 'Maybe ignoring him wasn't such a good idea.' / "Poor baby, he sounds miserable."
That night after Tenshi was asleep Yama walked out to the cherry tree where Juuroumaru was currently being depressed. 'Beast!' Yama snapped up at the demon. Juuroumaru turned a wary eye towards her. 'Stop feeling sorry for yourself and go cuddle up with your mate! All she wants is for ye to speak. I know ye can understand me. Now get you sorry ass over to where ye mate lie and stop sitting out here howling! Your keeping me awake!' And with a final glare to Juuroumaru, Yama stomped back into her hut. Juuroumaru sat for awhile before cautiously making his way towards the hut, pulling back the door-covering he peered in at the sleeping Tenshi. "Mate?" He silently questioned. She was his mate? Juuroumaru slowly crept into the hut, he really rather not be in here but he wanted to be near the female. He was lonely. Creeping up quietly beside her sleeping form Juuroumaru gently slid an arm under her and lifted her up from the futon taking her blanket with them. And quickly made his way back outside to the cherry tree, he defiantly did not like staying in the hut. Lowering himself and his mate onto one of the wider more sturdier branches, Juuroumaru placed his sleeping mate on his lap, pulled the blanket up around the both of them and settled in for the night. This was much better that before, he thought to himself before drifting off into a light slumber.
The next morning was different for Tenshi. One: she was sleeping at an odd angle, leaning on someone.....a male someone. Two: It was a little cold out and a breeze made her pull the blanket even tighter around herself. Cracking an eye open she saw a tree-line that stopped at the edge of a clearing. "Juuroumaru." Tenshi thought a little piffted. Looking up she spied the culprit dozing innocently. "Yeah, right." / 'Juuroumaru....' Tenshi said a slight edge to her voice. Juuroumaru's eyes opened instantly. 'Why am I in a tree?' Tenshi asked overly sweet. Juuroumaru let out what sounded like whine and nudged the side of her cheek with his nose. Tenshi's eyes widened and she looked up at Juuroumaru who was trying to look as pitiful as he could. 'I believe the beast was lonely.' Yama's voice came from down below. Tenshi looked down at her and Juuroumaru growled. 'Ye breakfast is ready.' Yama said placing it on the ground and heading back into the hut. Tenshi looked back at Juuroumaru who had tightened his hold. Tenshi sighed and gave him a kiss. 'Ok, I'm sorry.' She said running her fingers through his hair. 'I promise I won't ignore you anymore. But will you try and learn to talk?' Tenshi told/asked him. Juuroumaru nodded yes and gave her cheek another nudge, Tenshi giggled and gave him a quick kiss before untangling herself from his reluctant grasp. 'Come on, Juuroumaru! It's breakfast time! Let go!'
A/N: Just a note. Uh, Tenshi ain't a virgin, she's had other boyfriends when she lived in the future. So when it comes time to teach Juuroumaru *cough* that stuff, uh, she knows what to do cause he don't.
