Summary:
Restless, Shizuru goes out for a stroll. Whilst going down the familiar path, she comes across someone she thought she'd never see again. Having nowhere to go, she lets him stay at her house. On the way home, she realizes something she should have realized long ago, but is it too late to tell him how she feels? Pairings? You'll just have to read and find out…
Thanks for all the reviews…^_^ you make me feel all happy inside…

Chapter Two: Kiss And Make Up
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Kurama holds up his ring finger, revealing a golden engagement ring.
"O-oh…I see…" Shizuru answers, barely audible. She's still surprised by the fact that he just admitted he loved her…
'He loves me…he loves me…'
In her mind, she repeats these words over and over again, but knows that no matter how many times she does, they could never make it into something…
'He's married already…but to who?'
"If you don't mind me asking…who's the lucky girl?" Shizuru asks with a nervous laugh.
"Well…her name's Miho Takini. She my mother's friend's daughter."
"You don't sound excited at all, how come?"
"If I had the choice, I wouldn't marry her, but my mother…if I don't, she'll be terribly upset." He tells her, eyes downcast.
Shizuru doesn't say a thing, but opens the front door allowing them to enter.
She leads him up the stairs, all the while Youko continues to try and get his chance at Shizuru again. Kurama pushes him into the back of his mind and forgets he's even there.
Looking around the room, he notices the glowing numbers on the clock now read 1:15.
'I hope kaasan isn't too worried…'
Shizuru timidly rubs the back of her head, "I don't have a guest bed…just the one couch downstairs. But you can sleep in my bed if you want, and I'll sleep on the couch."
She knows her brother's old bed is still in his room, but hopes that her lie will somehow get the kitsune into the same bed as her.
"That's alright…if you don't mind, I guess we could share the bed." He blushes as he says this, but she nods a little too eagerly. This earns her a weird look from her friend, and now it's her turn to blush. Turning out the light, she nods, and slips under the sheets. He does too, not caring to ask if he could use her shower at this time of night; looking at the house, he already could tell she had it hard, and didn't want to be a burden.
Kurama on the left side, and Shizuru on the right, they try and fall asleep, but their heads are filled with thoughts of the other. Kurama accidentally rolls over, and his hand lands on her chest. She stares wide eyed at his hand, and he pulls back quickly, blushing though it's not visible in the dark.
"It's obvious something's on your mind, so why don't we talk?" Shizuru tells him, sitting up slightly.
Kurama wanted to tell her how he felt, even though he had already, but he wanted to tell her how he'd rather marry her than that girl his mother paired him up with.
"I guess…I guess I'm just nervous about getting married to someone I don't love, that's all." he spits out, telling a half truth.
"Oh…well, why don't you just tell your mom that? I mean, she would understand…right?"
"I don't know, but I don't want to find out."
Shizuru lay back down, closing her eyes. They fell asleep for some time, but about an hour later, Shizuru awoke.
'Why can't I fall asleep?'
Shizuru's POV
Sighing, I sit up, and look at Kurama.
Doesn't he realize that I don't want him to get married? And…and why did he kiss me before…?
All these questions go through my head, and I come up with a final decision.
He made the first move…now it's my turn.
I lower my face near his. I can hear my heart thumping in my chest. I get close enough so that I can hear his short breaths and feel it against my face. As I head in to give him a small kiss, I close my eyes, enjoying the feeling of his lips on mine. His eyes are closed too, and I'm pretty sure he's asleep…that is, until I try to pull back, and I feel him pulling me closer.
Normal POV
Kurama awakes with the odd feeling of someone kissing him. He opens his eyes for a split second to see Shizuru…
Who else could it be?
Youko's influence gives him the push to kiss back. Their tongues entangle within the other's. Without even knowing what's going, their hands start to roam…and they no longer care that Kurama's engaged…
******************************************************************
Tehe…this is where you'd put a lemon, but I won't put a lemon of this website…'cause then it's gonna get deleted, and what's the point in that?! ~.~; Umm…so, use your IMAGINATION! ^.^
******************************************************************
The two lovers wake up in each other's arms, memories of their recent experience flood their mind with happiness and ease.
"Kurama?" Shizuru asks warily.
He mumbles something, but then sits up, rubbing his eyes.
"Yeah?"
"Well…umm…did last night mean anything? I mean, you are already getting married…" she twiddles her thumbs nervously, noting that it's only seven thirty.
Kurama takes the time to consider this, and responds, "Um…yeah. You're the one I love, but…"
"Yeah, I know," Shizuru says halfheartedly, "So…"
They sit in an uncomfortable silence for several minutes, before Kurama speaks up, "Maybe there is a way to stop this marriage…"
Shizuru brightens, and sits up to listen…
'I sure hope so…'
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Tehe…that was really short, wasn't it ^_^;;;; Well…what exactly IS Kurama plotting…will it be illegal, dangerous, downright WRONG?! HOW THE HELL SHOULD I KNOW?! Review and find out next chapter, which will most likely be the last…nah, I'll probably make it two more chapters, just 'cause I'm bored ^.^
REVIEW PLEASE!!!
