The Dog shrine had not changed much after they left. Kurando was still complaining about how the place smelled bad. Saki replied by giving him a broom and telling him to clean up the dog shrine if it really smelled that bad to him. He has been quiet ever since. They reached the entrance, seeing how it is covered with vines and creeps. Karin kept a hand on Kijin, as if the sword would disappear into thin air. When she awoke, she was surprised to see Kijin and the cloak sitting on the table in the room, as if waiting for her to pick it up like her normal sword. The sword was light and glowed dimly of a distinct shade of green. Yuri had not even noticed the change in the morning.
"Well, its go." Kurando said dully, literally dragging his feet into the stink hole. Karin looked at Yuri for some explanation of his cousin's odd behaviour but yuri was busy chewing something before spitting it out on the side. He got slapped by karin for doing that in front of those she claim 'young, innocent minds' who 'easily get influenced by whatever they see'. Yuri pointed out that everyone was already inside and that there were no one to be influenced, earning him another slap for what she mumbled out to be 'jerk'.
"Ouch..." Yuri rubbed his sore cheek, walking right behind Karin as they set off, in search for the rest of the group who obviously have gone ahead. After awhile of walking, karin stood there, hand on her hips, pondering on which way they should go.
"Lost?" Yuri asked, earning a glare but he was grateful that it was not another slap.
"Should we go left? Or right?" She asked, pointing at the two doors at the opposite ends of the T-junction room they were at.
"Hmm... I know!" Yuri took out a coin.
"What the"
"We flip a coin, heads right, tails left. How's that?"
Karin sighed as she shrugged her shoulders. She sometimes thought she fell in love with a five year old who swore too much. But that was one thing she loved the most about him, a never aging personality. She watched him, as he flipped the coin, every motion, every turn, every muscle movement, she could memorize it all. When they were done with this, she knew that she would never see him again. All she wanted to do was the run to him and hold him till the rest of time. Was that too much to ask?
"Look! It's a heads! So we head"
"Yuri!" Karin just could not help it, leaping into him, tears bursting out from her eyes.
"Wha-?" Yuri was dumbfounded by her actions. He wanted to see what was wrong, but seeing her cry into his shirt, he decided to let her stay in this position. She needed him, as much he needed her. He slowly wrapped his arms around her, holding her, comforting her. There would always be time for questions later. Yuri could feel each beat, each sob she fought back. So much has happened to her, and so much will happen. Karin looked up from his shirt, eyes red and puffy, but yuri did not care, he smiled back at her, pushing away her bangs and wiping away her tears. To him, she was an angel, a godess whose beauty could never die out. Yuri bent lower and kissed her gently, their lips grew deeper into each other as they still held each other in their arms. Yuri felt as thought a flame that was dead within him was reignited. He wanted to stay in this position forever. But he knew... forever was never eternal. His mind pushed that thought out, there was no way he would think of such negative thoughts, he want to enjoy the moment, with karin. He will not spoil such a perfect moment by suddenly thinking of when this will end. No, he will flow with it as it comes. Now was a time to be spent with karin, alone. They broke the kiss but still in each other's arms as the sound of the door to the right opened up. Kurando stood at the door way, arms across his chest, with anastasia behind him, giggling away. Lucia was just staring while Joachim stood there, nodding and smiling. Gepetto just smiled but it was the kind you'de see on the face of some old pervert. Bianca was chewing on something.
"We disturbing something?" Kurando asked. Both Yuri and karin smiled in return.
"So, shall we go on?"
"Sure." Yuri replied, breaking from karin, but still held onto her hand. There was no way he was going to be seperated from her now. Not after that moment. Karin replied by holding his hand tightly, she felt the same as he did though it may be for a different reason. Both Yuri and Karin lingered behind the group, hands entangled in each other. They decided that although they needed to do this, they could always spend some time alone.
A/N: Quite short, whatever. I was wondering whether i should make Karin have fusion, or maybe i was wondering she could summon. I just want to boost her powers.
