Only You
"Talking"
'Thinking'
Stressed Word
It had been two days since she had last seen Suiichi and heard his declaration. Koenma had even supported Suiichi's claim, but that didn't mean she believed the toddler. She remained in her room all throughout the day and couldn't help but think about Suiichi. Rolling over on her bed she sighed and closed her eyes. Right when she was about to relax she saw Suiichi again. Quickly opening her eyes she growled in frustration and stared at her ceiling. The moonlight shone against her pale sheets and her skin. Kagome growled again and ran a hand through her hair as she thought about Suiichi.
'Why does he keep entering my mind?' Kagome questioned herself.
"I wonder why he radiates youki that feels so familiar. Even if he claimed to be Youko" Kagome mumbled.
She rolled over onto her side and looked up at the moon. She reached up and touched the pendant that Youko had given her so many years ago. With a sigh of sorrow she closed her eyes and imagined Youko there with her. It had been very long since she felt that spark of love. When she realized the thief had stolen her heart, that spark was a flame. It went cold and ceased when he had died and left her. Ever since that day she had never let any man touch her lips or give her the smooth caress that set her on fire. Her loyalty to him would not be undone, but like her family repeatedly said, 'he is a memory'.
Standing up she walked across the floor and towards her window. She saw the moon and stared at it in deep thought. She saw an image of Suiichi and let the image of Yoko and him merge together. Her eyes widened in realization as the images blurred into one. Her eyes narrowed and she let her nails scratch the surface of the window before she backed away. Walking over to her closet she quickly dressed in loose black pants and a white tank top. She paused at the door and walked to the center of her room. She looked into her mirror and kept seeing Suiichi.
'If it isn't a reincarnation of Yoko then I must stay away from him…I refuse to leave him in a memory,' Kagome thought with determination.
Kagome quickly threw up a barrier and opened a portal to Suiichi's house. With a silent prayer she stepped through and came to face his house. She masked her scent and energy making sure that she was nothing but a shadow. She followed Suiichi's ki to a window and found that it was slightly lower than normal. She let her fingertips play with the window knowing that he was asleep and so was his mother. When the window came undone she quickly and silently slipped through and shut it.
She followed the darkness to his room and remained hidden within it. Using some of her ki she made sure to a sound proof barrier around his room. Closing the door she made her way to his bed where he slept with his white sheets around him. She studied his features and noted that him and Yoko had very similar traits. Frowning she reached down and pushed a stray piece of his hair behind his ear. Shaking her head she leaned down and inhaled his scent. He smelled slightly of Yoko and that slight scent was enough for her to almost jump with joy.
She kneeled beside him and laid her head next to his and closed her eyes. The aura of the room was comforting and she could feel that youki again. Kagome was sure that it was Yoko inside this human's body. She didn't know how it happened and she would stay true to her promise even if it meant he didn't, since he technically died and didn't fully claim her. She opened her eyes and let the warmness of comfort overtake her again.
'This is how it should have been,' Kagome sadly thought as a lone tear hit his bed. Wiping her cheek she allowed her scent and energy to show, not just her life ki but also her entire Miko ki. Since she had her barrier around the room, the room sparked to life with her Miko ki. Suiichi sat up in shock as he jumped out of bed and looked around for the source of the pure energy. He never expected to be met by Kagome, the love of both his lives.
"Kurama, we need to talk," Kagome calmly said as she masked her Miko ki again.
"What? Did you just call me Kurama?" He questioned in confusion.
"I have a barrier around the room, meet me in the forest," Kagome said as she vanished through another portal.
Suiichi could only stare in shock at the place Kagome had just been seconds ago.Did she finally believe that he was Youko, or at least carried his spirit?That was the question that ran through his mind. He shook his head and quickly dressed in jeans and a blue tee shirt. He then opened his window and watched as the barrier disappeared from view. He landed gracefully once he jumped from the window. He then took of towards the only forest he could think of. When he arrived at the forest he expected to see or sense something, but it seemed void of any life. He cautiously took a step into the forest and noticed it after. She had put up a barrier that would make things look normal from the outside.
'You know she's pissed at us,' Youko said with a yawn as he stretched.
'Us! How did you get us?' Suiichi growled.
'Well, the fact that you kept delaying in allowing me to show myself,' Youko smugly answered.
'We have to find her and set things right,' Suiichi calmly said as he looked around.
'She's a Kunoichi, you won't see, smell, or hear her,' Youko explained.
'Then come out and find her,' Suiichi demanded.
Youko grinned and quickly took over the body as Suiichi relaxed in the comfort of their mind. Youko's outfit was now his original silver one with the silver pants. He had his silver fox ears and tail. He stretched his body limbs since they were stiff and aching to be put to use. Cracking his knuckles he inhaled the air and smirked with anticipation.
'I thought you said you couldn't smell her,' Suiichi pointed out.
'I can't, I just needed to get a sense of my surroundings,' Youko said causing Suiichi to get annoyed.
Youko walked deeper into the forest with the patience of a two year old. He knew Kagome was somewhere in here waiting for something. He didn't expect her to attack him or run into his arms without a second thought. He knew that she had accomplished much and lived through some of the worse events. It was only fair that she distrust him for the time being. He continued his walk until he neared a small pond. He looked into the pond and saw her reflection. He followed it till he reached her waiting and tense form. She stood on a rock in the middle of the pond observing him.
Kagome didn't let the shock that threatened to overtake her show. She was waiting for Suiichi and got Youko Kurama. She remained stoic and noted that this Youko had every detail down to the tiniest hair there. She then watched as he took notice of her reflection in the small pond. She lightly smirked when she saw his golden eyes widen at the sight of her. Her expression turned to one of sorrow when she remembered staring into those eyes.
'How I've longed to get lost in those golden eyes,' she thought. Her face-hardened as she reminded herself this could be an imposter after the jewel.
"Stealing the images of my friends is one level," Kagome unemotionally began, "But stealing the face and body of my love is asking for a world of pain."
"I see you still have your attitude and spark of anger," Youko joked with a light smile.
"Don't you even dare try to act like him!" Kagome yelled as her ki flared to life.
'She thinks I'm just some demon trying to get to her,' Youko growled to Suiichi.
'Wonder why?' Suiichi sarcastically said.
"What if I'm the real Youko Kurama?" He tempted her.
"You can't be, he's…dead and has been dead," Kagome growled as she slipped on her neko-te.
"What if I was to tell you that his spirit escaped to your time and merged with an unborn human?" Youko asked.
"I'd say your full of crap and have a death wish," Kagome growled as her neko-te began to glow a soft blue. Kurama took note of the rising Miko ki and out of instinct wanted to growl and attack.
"What do I have to do to prove that I am me?" Kurama demanded to know. Kagome looked thoughtful before lunged for Kurama.
"Fight me," Kagome commanded as Youko dodged her attack.
"I see no point in this fight," Youko calmly said.
"The point is…I will kill you for taking his form!" Kagome yelled as she charged at him again.
Youko dodged an attack and noticed that his cheek was stinging. He saw the woman had a smirk on her face. He reached up and touched his cheek and felt the warmth, he brought his hand to his eyes and saw the blood. He lightly growled and brought his eyes back up to find her gone. He rolled out of the way again when he felt her coming from behind him. She cursed and cracked her knuckles before she decided to attack him head on.
'She's grown confident,' Kurama thought.
'She's a different person now,' Suiichi replied.
"A weak demon like you shouldn't havea problem fighting a girl," Kagome growled.
'Weak demon?' He wanted to shout in offense.
"The trouble is I don't want to hurt you," Youko growled at her.
"How sweet, I'll remember that when your blood is spilt," Kagome heatedly said.
Youko vanished from her sight immediately, knowing that he had to sedate her in order to get any words. He ran behind her and hissed in pained when he felt a silver shuriken entering his leg, purifying his being. Kagome quickly jumped into another tree and watched as he threw the shuriken away from himself. Kagome went to attack again and found her neko-te met nothing but dirt. She tried to jump away and found that vines were restraining her ankles. She slashed at one only to have a thicker one wrap around her ankle and another wrap around her wrists. She was now off the ground and strapped in the air by vines.
"Now you copy his techniques!" Kagome yelled as she tried to purify the plants. To her distaste she found them to be regular vines.
"I can't copy his techniques because I am him," Youko growled.
"No, no, no! My love is dead!" Kagome yelled as her eyes refused to water.
"Stupid girl!" Youko growled at her.
"My name is not girl! It's Ka-go-me!" Kagome growled at him.
"I know that! I also know that you lost your memory after the battle with Naraku and you almost died in a fight to save Kouga's tribe," Youko argued.
"Now you're a stalker!" Kagome exclaimed.
"Screw it!" Youko seethed before his lips claimed hers. She tried to turn her head away, but found that his hands held her head in place.
She soon began to relax and that spark roared into a fire. Her eyes slid shut and she inhaled his wild scent of roses and forest. She then thought of how long she had missed him. This moment was worth all the time in the world. Her eyes snapped open as soon as she realized that her Youko was dead. She let the purifying energy surge through her lips and sent him flying into the nearest tree.
"You bastard! How dare you kiss me?" Kagome yelled as she let the energy flow through her. The vines went back to normal and she started to advance on him with thoughts of purifying him to hell or to Reikai.
"It relaxed you," Yoko supported.
"I have not kissed another since the real Youko, and then you go and do that!" Kagome scolded.
"I didn't hear any complaining," Youko calmly said with a smirk.
Kagome fumed before she ran towards the defenseless Youko. It would only take one shot to kill him since he gazed into her eyes. She growled in frustration before she stopped in front of the silver Kitsune. She kneeled down next to and took off her claws. She let her fingers run over his smooth skin along his jaw. She then rubbed his ears causing them to twitch and her to smile. Kagome pushed Youko's legs apart since he was slumping against a tree. She then kneeled in between them and placed her hands against his chest.
"I'm going to heal you…but when I do my Miko ki will search for any lies in you. If it finds lies than you will be instantly be purified," Kagome explained.
"Go ahead, I'd die for you," Yoko whispered.
"Apparently if you speak the truth, you already have," Kagome said before she let her Miko ki be released into his body. His body stiffened before he lightly shimmered a faint pink. His eyes slowly closed as he enjoyed her touch. It felt like years since he had been able to have her soft caress, even if it was a threatening one. His right ear twitched when he heard a soft sobbing. He opened his golden eyes to only meet a river of tears.
"Why are you crying?" Youko gently whispered. Kagome softly whimpered before she threw herself into his now healed arms.
"I didn't trust you…I'm so…so very sorry," Kagome cried. He wrapped his arms around her and gently rocked her. Which was difficult because she was in between his legs.
"I'm alive and we're together. That's all that matters now," Youko tried to soothe.
"That reminds me," Kagome sniffled as she pushed away. Kagome quickly balled up fist and punched him in the jaw. He fell back against the tree with a stunned look in his eyes.
"That's for dying!" Kagome yelled at him before she jumped on top of him and pressed her mouth to his.
He closed his eyes once he knew that this kiss wasn't going to purify him or she wasn't going to send him into the tree again. He wrapped his arms around her waist and licked her bottom lip. She opened her mouth letting their tongues battle for dominance. Kagome ran her tongue along his velvet lips before she lightly bit the top of his lip. He slightly growled and rolled over. Their mouths broke apart and Kagome now stared into his wild golden eyes. Only in her dreams she had waited for this moment to come. She had waited five hundred years for him and now she had no doubts.
Yoko stared down at her admiring her beauty. Her black hair was spread out on the forest floor and she was slightly sweaty from their previous battle. He bent down and licked her neck from the curve to her earlobe. There he lingered and gently nibbled on the piece of flesh. Kagome ran her hands over chest and sighed before she reached up and began to massage the base of the ear. She felt his mouth move down to the curve of her neck and nip. She smirked and took his left ear in her mouth. The light silky coat of fur tickled the roof of her mouth. She let her tongue make traces on the fleshy part of his ears.
Yoko licked and sucked on the curve of her neck before he sunk his fangs into the ivory flesh. He moaned at the taste of her blood and she gasped at how that made her temperature rise. Kagome wrapped her legs around his waist as he came back to level with her. He instantly took her mouth again for his own. Kagome fiercely kissed back as she ground her hips against his. He growled against her lips and let his hand wander up her shirt. He soon came in contact with her bra; he easily cut it off her and threw it to the ground.
This had been the moment she had waited for. Five hundred years to finally be with him. It was amazing that he was here with her and not some dead spirit. Each kiss made her loose her thoughts. Normally a spirit fox would drain its victims of ki when in a moment like this. She trusted him to no end, she knew he wouldn't leave her like that. Her Miko ki would also purify him if he tried it. She had to accept him and carefully let him take a small portion of her ki. There were times she wished she was a normal human.
Once his and her conquest of the bodies were finished they laid on the forest floor. She was spooned against his body as she was content to have him close. Sighing happily she snuggled closer to his warmth. He moved his face down to nuzzle the mark he left. He was surpised when she bit him back. That would mean they would go through forever together and when they faded their souls would always come back together no matter what.
"Mine," he whispered to her.
"Always," Kagome sleepily replied.
"Do you think we should move?" Youko lazily asked.
"No," Kagome replied as she let them fall through a portal that led to her room. They hit the bed and Kagome closed her eyes as she listened to his steady heartbeat.
