Koji: Hahaha. Idjit.

Mysti: Let's make this short and sweet, ON WITH THE STORY!

Chapter 3: I've Never Been Kissed Before

I smelt blood. I transformed back into my human form, and ran towards the cliff side, where I saw it. Mysti engulfed by a silver mist, covered in blood, and bruises. I couldn't stop myself, "MYSTI!" My voice was filled with terror. I could hear Youko mocking me inside my head. Fool! Don't just stand there like an idiot! Go after her! I mentally cursed myself for being frozen by fear for the past five minutes and jumped off the cliff, catching her in middair. "Are you okay?" I spoke softly. She barely opened her eyes and let out a small whispered, "No." Figures.
"What happened to you?" I questioned.

"The cliff startled me, and I lost control. I fell but Rayne saved me. I don't think that she's evil. Please, take me home.. I just wanna see my big brother and heal myself." She couldn't say much more other than a humble thank you, but all I cared about was making sure she was alright. If anything happened to her or Pheona or Kaiya, I don't know what I would do. I was so sad when Rayne died so I won't let another die. I kept telling myself, it's not your fault, it's not your fault, but I still think it was. I looked down at the battered girl.

"I can't take you home just yet. I'll take you back to Lady Kikyou quickly and let her heal you. Then, if she says alright, then I'll take you back." She gave me an exasperated look, she wasn't happy, but I wasn't just going to let her get hurt. I wonder if Genkai was near by, then maybe she could heal her. Then I realised that I was hoping for something that would never happen. Genkai said she couldn't help us this year. She said that she wasn't going to be out baby sitter like last year. Last year we were in Sunris, a smaller country but with more of a party life style. The princess and princes there were totally yin yang. She was girly, bratty and annoying. She constantly hit on us and was boring as hell. "Today, I went shopping and got to go to this huuuge party. There were boys and music and lights and blah blah blah blah blah!" Then the boys, Sai and Kai, were very polite and fun. They went boating nearly everyday with us, were in love, and speaking of which, Kenshin fell in love for the first time there as well. He met a girl name Tomoe on one of our boating trips. She was very pretty and kind, if you didn't get on her bad side. She and Kenshin actually wed, but she turned her back on him. She tried to kill him and he killed her. He cried and was left with that scar on his cheek. There I didn't ever think that I would fall in love. I mean everyone else around me did. Kuwabara met Yukina, Hiei had Shimaki, and even Inuyasha had met Kagome. I was left all alone, that was until we moved here, and I met Mysti. She was amazing, even when I had just met her. She was so kind and told us where to find the palace. Then I was dissapointed to find that she had a boy friend. The white haired boy with the black roots hugged her the moment he saw her, like they had known each other since birth. (A/N: Lol, he doesn't know he's her brother, her triplete brother!)So I decided that I would just forget about my feelings about her and leave her be with her boyfriend. I then realised that I was at the shrine, Kikyou running towards me.

"What happened to her?" Kikyou yelled as she took her out of my arms. I felt disappointed, I hadn't ever been so close to Mysti before.

"She said that she lost control and fell down the hill. I smelt her blood, if I hadn't, then she would probably be dead." I said looking down at her. I felt sad that she wasn't able to move, to thank me like I know she would. She always seemed so happy, cheerful, loving. A dark blue light engulfed her and her eyes fluttered open. She was totally healed, and in a dark blue kimono? How did that happen? Don't blink.

"Kurama? Is that you? What happened? Oh yeah..." Her cluelessness was adorable. I tried not to laugh but wasn't able to control myself. She saw me laughing and was confused, but laughed with me anyway. So sweet. I loved that about her. She stood abruptly and wrapped her arms around my waist. I could feel my face heating up. "Thank you so very much! If it weren't for you and Rayne, I think I might be dead right now." We started to walk home, but it was so dark we couldn't see anything so we decided to make camp. I started the fire and she went to get something to eat. She came back minutes later with fish, alot of them! How are we going to eat all this fish? I kept asking myself as I watched her clean them. "I remember my daddy, he used to fish everyday and bring them home. He made me and Hari clean 'em." She started to hum a song about a demon king and a princess. "Do you remember anything from your childhood?"

"I remember I used to kill demons for fun since I was about, 2 to 12. My mother was very proud of how strong I was. My father was killed during the battle between the humans and the demons. What about you?"

"Do you want to play a game, Kurama?" I would kill for her to say my name again. I nodded. "Alright it's quite easy." She got two gourds from a tree, quickly hollowed them, walked over to the lake and filled them with water and walked back. "Here we go. It's called 'I never'. If you have done something that I've never done, then you drink alright? I never, kissed a boy." That caught me by surprise. She's never kissed a boy before? But what about her boyfriend?
"I thought you had a boyfriend. I've never kissed a boy either, by the way." She laughed.

"Nope! I have had boyfriends before, but I have never kissed a boy. I don't have a boyfriend right now though." She looked at me with a funny look in her eye. "Your turn."

"I've never... OH! I've never met another fox demon!" She took a drink of water.

"I've never been hugged by a boy that wasn't my brother." THAT took me by surprise as well. I took a drink, my mother always hugged me.

"What about that boy with the white hair?" I asked.

"That's Haru, my brother, and it's your turn."

"I've never been kissed before, by anyone outside my family, I mean." She looked at me wide eyed.

"Are you serious?" I nodded contently. She then looked up at the sky. "I've never told anyone this, but, before I met Pheona, I had never been hugged before, in my life. I can barely remeber my father. He left when we were really young. I had a sister named Shia, but she died from a serious heart disease when we were about 6, and my mother doesn't love us." I looked at her surprised.

"I never felt motherly love until I was killed and then reborn again, in this body." I looked over at her and she was smiling widely at me. I felt kind of happy that I was the one who put that smile on her face and I had never done that before. " Let's get some sleep so we can get back before noon tomorrow." She nodded happily, and relaxed her body against the tree behind her.

"Kurama."

"Yes, Mysti?"
"I've never been kissed before, ever." I couldn't contain myself after she said that. I leaned over and stared at her. She had sat up, and was looking at me with the weirdest look I had ever seen in this girl before. She looked happier than I had never seen her before. I tried to stop myself, but resistance was futile. I kissed her, and she kissed back. We sat like that for a few minutes before lack of air pulled us apart. She looked at me, her eyes wide, her pointer finger on her lips. "Wow.." I could hear her mumble under her breath. A small smile on her lips, and her face tinged a bright red.

"I've never been kissed before, until now." I said, making her laugh again. How I will enjoy the Dark Tournement.

Mysti: Hehehehehe.

Koji: You're face is all red, Myyyyyyyyysti!

Kurama: Why's that, Myyyyyyyyyysti?

Kari: I know why... Hehehehe!

Koji and Kurama: Girls...

Kari and Mysti: BYYYE!
