Chapter5: How does one go about mating, Kurama?

Rei ran as fast as her legs could take her. She knew that Kurama was sure to catch up to her quickly. She had to think fast.
Kurama quickly caught Rei's scent and was close on her trail. He then saw a figure huddled in a ball on the ground. He knew instantly it was Rei. The only thing he thought was odd was the fact that he could not sense any distress.
Now is our chance, boy. She is practically giving herself to us! You fool! Now! Do it NOW!
Kurama spoke to Youko, "Youko, she is obviously trying to trick us again. If we're not careful, she might kick us in a more…compromising area."
I suppose you have a point, boy.

"Now we must advance with caution because she is a cunning little vixen"
Yes…not to mention beautiful and has a nice…
"YOUKO! Not now! Now hush while I talk to her."

Rei, getting impatient trying to trick Kurama, finally got up and walked over to the unknowing Kurama. She looked at him baffled, for it looked like he was talking to himself.

"Umm…Kurama? Who exactly are you talking to?"
Kurama slightly turned pink and answered with a slight stutter, "I…um…well. You see…The thing is…" Then his eyes turned from emerald green to amber.

"K-k-Kurama?"
His voice had now significantly deepened and was huskier. His hair was now a shimmering silver against the rays of the glittering sun. His eyes were intense and intently staring into Rei's.

"Why such a wavering voice, pet? It's just me." He smiled smugly and sauntered to her slowly, as if stalking his prey.

Rei gulped hard, mesmerized by the sheer magnificence of this man, this fox man. She unconsciously bit her lower lip and became flushed.

"I see that you have finally succumbed to me, my vixen."

Rei was unable to speak. All Youko could do was smirk.

"Hmm. I see that you are at a loss for word, lovely Rei. Let me see if I can just fill that void."

Youko that picked Rei up from off the ground to even out their immense height difference. He pulled her legs around his waist and began to kiss her.

Rei's eyes perked open in pure surprise and her whole body tensed. Youko started to smirk into their kiss and he gently began to sit on the ground. She tried to pull away, but he would not permit it. In response to that, he just deepened their kiss.

Kurama was furious now that he was the one trapped inside a mind.

Youko! You cannot do these kind of things! You need to treat her delicately.

"I'm not doing anything to hurt her boy, so keep quiet and stay where little boys belong. This is obviously a man's job."

You let me out of here immediately! You cannot treat her this way.

Youko purposely kissed Rei with more fervor to get Kurama riled up.

"So I shouldn't do things like this then, boy?"

Youko then began to try to slide his hands up the back of Rei's shirt.

YOUKO!

Rei was finally able to get from his grasp and kick him firmly in the place that Kurama had warned him about.

"You lecherous heathen! How dare you? How dare you try to take advantage of me because you're bigger than I am! If you love me as much as you say you do, than please, leave me alone!"

All Youko could do was stay in the fetal position on the ground, cursing loudly to himself.

This gave Kurama the opportunity to escape Youko's mind prison and transform back into himself.

"My darling! It's me. Please don't stay too mad at him. He really likes you."
"Apparently."

"Oh, Rei. It's just his personality. He's always been like that. It's just…he's very…um…feral and it's in a demon's nature to—'

"Be a perverted, conceited, smug—'

"Alright, Rei. I get the point, dear. He means well, he really does. It's just his nature and he can't help that. You're lucky," he smirked. "He was holding back so he wouldn't completely ravish you."

Rei blushed a bright crimson that easily matched the color of Kurama's locks. She then looked down quickly.

Kurama saw this and smiled endearingly.

"My love. I would never let him hurt you. I would much rather end my life than to do that."

"Never say that again."

"Rei. I have been meaning to ask you something."

"What is that, Kurama?"

"Will you be my mate? I mean…not right away if you don't want, but if you do that's okay too, but we don't have to rush and maybe I was just thinking just maybe that you would consider it? I mean if you don't want to I understand I was only—"

"Kurama!"

"I'm sorry I didn't mean to overwhelm you I'm just really nervous and I wanted to ask you this for a long time but I am really sorry and I just hope you don't think I'm crazy and I just really am—"

"Kurama!"

"What is it, Rei?"

"Yes."

"Yes?"

Rei rolled her eyes and gave him a chaste kiss on the lips. She them smiled a brilliant smile that entranced Kurama.

"Yes, Kurama. I will be your mate."

Kurama looked square in Rei's eyes and he could see the sincerity in them. He smiled and picked her up and spun her around.

"Oh Rei! I love you so much, my dear."

Rei smiled and kissed Kurama on the nose.

"I love you as well, Kurama. But I have to ask you. How do two people become…um…mates?"

Kurama blushed a little. "Well, Rei. When two beings want to um…mate, they have to well…um…have…um…—"

Rei smiled and nodded. "I understand what you're trying to say. We don't have to do that right away do we? I mean, we are still young."

"Of course not. But I can do something to signify that we are committed to each other."

"And what would that be?"

"I can only show you if you're really sure about this. There is no backing out once this is done."

"I understand. And I'm ready to spend forever with you, Kurama, for as long as that is."

Kurama nodded and brought her body close to his. He tilted her head gently so her neck was exposed to him. He began to lightly kiss the nape of her neck while sitting down on the ground. Rei began to enjoy his ministrations so he smirked slightly on her neck. He whispered so to give her chills, "Rei…are you ready for this?"

"Yes, Kurama I am."

Kurama then bit into her neck hard and deep enough as to make a mark. Rei flinched and tried not to show any sign of pain while he was doing this. As Kurama sunk his teeth into her neck, blood began to spill. When he thought that the mark was going to be permanent, he licked away the blood and looked at her with eyes full of love.

"I love you Rei. You are forever mine and I am forever yours."

"I'm glad Kurama because that was the way it was meant to be."
