Chapter -5
Hours later Nick came home with her mouth semi smoking. " Where' s Cassie? " she asked in a low growl. Before Kurama could answer ,Cassie came down the stairs with the evening paper. The headline read: LOCAL Mystery Girl wrecks Mall. Two floors gone except for the bookstore. Nick just laughed and said " That's what you get for messing with me." She turned to Cassie and said "I'm letting your escapade slide this time, only cause I've got choice blackmail on you and Kurama." Cassie and Nick were at it seconds later ,hammer and tongs. Kurama motioned for the other two demons to back up and he erected a fire -proof shield around them, and just in time too. Cassie had transformed into Renae and started throwing fireballs all over the place! Nick was waaaaay ahead of the equally hot tempered fire apparition. She was in her seven foot form but with some control this time .That didn't say much as the two preceded on wrecking the house to pieces. Before any more damage could be done ,Kurama stepped out of the fire shield and tapped on one of Nick's scales. "Why don't we go to my library in the Makai?" "I've got some books there on demonic control .And by the looks of it you both need it." This earned him a low growl from both Cassie and Nick ,but he ignored it and opened the portal " Ladies first" he said letting Nick and Cassie go ahead of them .The boys followed right behind and they all headed off in the direction of Kurama's library.
The first thing the girls noticed was new outfits. Once they got into the library ,they all split up. Kurama and Cassie were left in the main floor with a huge pile of books to sort through and file. Cassie started filing them at a very high speed " Wow ,where'd you learn to do that?" The red head asked Cassie as he climbed up onto another shelf to file some of the other books he had in the library that hadn't been used in centuries.
Cassie smiled as she too climbed another nearby ladder. "Rikiu used to work for a library in the Makai so I guess I got the skills from her." Kurama nodded and went back to work ,not noticing Cassie climb up the ladder with a pile of books. As she went to put one of the heavier ones in its' place ,she lost her balance and fell off the ladder. Kurama heard her scream and caught her before she hit the floor. She was blushing like mad as she stared into his emerald green eyes. "That's twice now that I've almost lost her. I've got to tell her before…" He looked right at Cassie and said simply "Cassie I love you." To his immense shock and surprise, she said "I feel the same way you do Kurama .I was too scared to say it because I didn't know what you thought of me. I-"She was very sweetly cut off when Kurama took her lips in a hungry ,possessive kiss. They broke off when they needed air and he looked right at her and said "I'm glad you feel the same."
She heard peals of devilish laughter and sighed. She slid out of Kurama's arms and went to look. She wasn't surprised to find Nick there but everyone else too?! "Give me three reasons why I shouldn't kill all of you " Cassie snarled ,sounding much like her kitsune counterpart. "One ,we're your best friends". Nick said standing "Two if you want this camera back with all the snapshots we took you'll play a game with us." "oh and Nick you have to play to. I've got one of the pics from the mall sooo" if you know what's good for you….Kuroune said tauntingly .Nick sighed in defeat .So did Cassie ."Well bat boy? Spill ,we haven't got all day! Nick exclaimed her temper rising. "Well the game is… strip poker ." There was the sound of one very scared bat being drug farther into the room and beat with a mallet, courtesy of Nick. And he also got zapped thanks to Rikiu' s lightning. Cassie sighed in defeat when Kuroune wouldn't give up all the pictures. "I suppose we have no choice then…." Nick poked her in the ribs and smiled like a devil.. "But Cass remember who we're playing against. We'll work together…." Cass broke into the same smile. "This oughta be lotsa fun indeed "she said smirking and changing into Kiona.
