Charms
Naked Kurama's
Chapter 30
"Sometimes, no matter how innocent we are," The silver haired demon stepped onto the sandy bank of the slow moving river, carrying his red headed self. "We can feel dirty and unclean." The golden eyed demon told his other self, taking a step into the water.
"That's when we need others to help us take a good look at ourselves, from a different view." The silver haired fox demon told him. Clothes seemed to disappear as they ventured further into the cool, waist high river. "That's when we can forgive ourselves for the sins we never committed."
"Kurama?" The green eyed fox demon asked his other self. "What the hell are you talking about?" His voice was just as indifferent as the look in his eyes. Youkai Kurama barked a laugh as he let his other self stand in the water with him. Shuichi had a bit more tanned skin, he noticed between the naked bodies.
"I probably read that somewhere. I thought it might help." he rubbed his silver hair, before he looked at the other with confidence. "You'll have to fix the problem with Hiei when you go back. For now, look around you." the fox demon spread his arms. Green eyes looked, passively, only to be amazed. There were bright flickers of lights like fire flies, dancing through the air, they were every where.
"What is this?" Shuichi backed into Youkai Kurama, still looking around.
"These are the souls you've collected." he explained.
"Collected?" Shuichi spun around. Green eyes looked at gold, horrifed. "I've never..."
"I told didn't I?" the silver haired demon brushed a strand of red hair behind his other's ear. "They say you share your soul when you kiss."
"That can't be." the teenager blushed looking at the sheer number of them. "I've only kissed Hiei and..." Green eyes looked into gold. Kurama didn't want to say, 'and you.' He was still getting used to the fact that it happened at all. Now that Hiei was opening his heart, the fox demon had to be faithful, even if the strongest temptation is himself.
"We're the same, you and I." Youkai Kurama put his hands on the other's shoulders. "These are from my history too."
"Oh, right..." Well that explained a few maybe but really, this many? The lights had different hues and patterns of movements but, "How do I know which ones..."
"There," Gold eyes looked at one that floated by and reached out with a finger to touch it. An image of Hiei's kiss came to Shuichi's mind.
"I see." Green eyes looked at another that floated by. He reached out, experimentally touching one. The red head blinked, an image of his mother kissing his cheek, when he was a child, came to mind. "That shouldn't count." Shuichi protested. The silver haired demon giggled at his naive self.
"Anytime you share your love with a kiss, you share a little peice of your soul." The silver haired fox demon grinned.
"Is that it?" The red head touched another one. Shuichi gasped.
"Catch that one!" Youkai Kurama ordered.
"Ha-Hai!" The red head trapped the light in his hands. "Wha-What now?" The silver haired demon was touching others, seaching for something.
The tiny lights reflected: a little girl kissing him in the playground when he was three; some hot and bothered tramp demon that kissed his demon self for stealing something for her; a pack of seniors on his first day as a freshman in high school, that cornered him because of his unique appearence. There were four lights of those girls. Thankfully, a teacher broke it up before the fox demon had to use force.
//I guess there were a few more than I realized.// Green eyes looked around, astounded. He turned to his past self to ask something but Youkai Kurama's silver tail swished on the surface of the river drawing his attention. Shuichi felt heat on his cheeks. His silver tail was cute, but his healthy buttocks was...
"Found it." The golden eyed demon snatched a kiss out of the air. Shuichi blinked realizing he was staring and looked away in embarrassment.
"Found what?" the red head glanced down again as his other turned around. //I am so...// He forced his green eyes to meet gold.
"Daiki, kissed you." Youkai Kurama embarrassed his other self, this time with his forwardness. The image in Kurama's mind was Daiki. //But when?// "The reason why is because of these." //You mean when he kissed me before I got here. But I never kissed him before. But if I had...//
"I have a peice of his soul." Shuichi reasoned.
"And he wants it back." The silver haired demon brought his catch to his other self.
"But, I never..." Kurama thought back and couldn't think of a time when they did any kind of kissing.
"Oh, yes you did." Youkai Kurama's gold eyes looked at his other like he was hiding a porn magazine. "It was a dream about Hiei when you kissed him, but it was more than that to Daiki."
"What?!" Kurama released the light, out of surprize.
"Don't let it go!" Youkai Kurama ordered his other, who obeyed out of reaction more than anything.
"You mean that first night he was at my house?" The red head wasn't sure what to feel. Silver hair bounced as he nodded. Shuichi wanted to wipe that smirk off his fox face. "I thought he was awfully close, but..."
"You're a player!" The fox grinned. The red head bristled.
"It was an accident and what about all that stuff you said about forgiving yourself for stuff you didn't do."
"But you did kiss him." Youkai Kurama countered.
"Any way!" Shuichi turned away. "This one in my hands, I never kissed."
"Oh, you mean that beauty from the fire." Youkai Kurama scratched his cheek. "If their souls are one, naturally you picked up the other one too."
"But I only kissed him once."
"Don't sound so surprised. You wondered why he was responsive after you started mouth feeding him." The silver haired demon narrowed his eyes at the other. Shuichi blushed, blinked, then gowled.
"But that wasn't a kiss..." he shook his red head.
"Of course, that doesn't count." he waved a clawed hand.
"And that doesn't explain why he kissed me now. He could have kissed me while I was sleeping or any time before now. Why now? Why in front of Hiei?"
"How should I know?" The sliver haired demon shrugged. Kurama sunk into the water and bubbled his frustration.
"Fine," Shuichi stood with a slosh, "What now?"
"You've got to give these back." Youkai Kurama explained.
"But," Green eyes looked at his cupped hands. "How?"
"Trust me..." A sly look crept into his gold eyes. "It's easy."
