Epilogue

And empty carpeted hallway slowly filled with the sounds of fast footsteps, echoing off the door covered walls. Two figures made their way to the end before stopping in front of one of the doors, both out of breath, smiling,

The shorter of the two, a young man with raven back hair pulled back in a pony tail, reached his hand and shakily pulled out a key. After a few tries of trying to fit it into the lock, another pair of hands slipped over his and helped him fit it in and turn it.

He looked up at his partner who smiled.

"Nervous?"

The younger man smiled, but nodded. "Just a little."

The redhead slipped his arm around his waist and held him for a moment in an effort to relive him of his anxiety. "We've been waiting five years for this. You don't have to be afraid."

"I've never done this before." He whispered breathlessly.

"Well neither have I. Not in this form at least. But don't worry. I won't hurt you."

He sighed contently and turned around to give him a soft kiss on the lips. "I know you won't. I trust you."

"So, are you ready to go in?" he asked, not breaking his hold on him.

Yusuke nodded, reaching out to turn the door knob. The door opened and he looked back at Kurama for assurance. The older smiled and gently led him into the room, closing the door behind him with a soft click, a "Do Not Disturb" sign hanging outside.
