AN: Hello once more. Sorry about updating so much last time. I didn't know when the next time I would be able to update would be. But here it is, the sixth chapter. WARNING! There will be sex in this chapter! Descriptive too! (lol) So if you don't wish to read it…don't.
Chapter Six
Han flicked her stiletto at the wall; the steel so strong it stuck in the wall.
"How are you doing that?" Kunanai asked.
"Doing what?" Han asked getting up to pull her stiletto out of the wall.
"This wall is strong. How is your stiletto cutting through the wall."
"I made these. Me and my husband did. They're the strongest steel in all the realms."
"Why didn't they take your weapons?"
"They did. This one was hidden in my bra. And they didn't check there."
"Why don't you leave then?"
"You're my partner. I'm not leaving without you. And you're not better yet so we're staying. I hope you get better soon. This place is boring."
Kunanai thought something over before asking, "Whose your husband?"
"You ask a lot of questions, you know. But his name is Spyk. But we're on a break right now."
"Why?"
"We thought it best to spend sometime apart."
"How long have you been married?"
"About 108 years, I think. But I miss him."
"Really? You only look around 18 and you look Ningen."
"My eyes are purple, my ears are pointed, and I have claws. Oh, and my hair's green. But otherwise I look Ningen. What about you? Tell me something about you."
"What's there to know."
"Fine. Let's play a game. For every question you ask I get to ask one. And for everyone I ask, you get to ask one."
"So in other words, it's getting to learn stuff about me and it never ends?"
"Correct. Now that was one question, now it's my turn. What….What kind of toothpaste do you use?"
Kunanai blinked, "What kind of toothpaste do I use?"
"Yes, and there was your second question, so I get to ask another one. What's your favorite game?"
"But I didn't answer the first one!"
"Oh well, too late. Now answer the second one."
"I don't know. I don't really play games. What's your favorite game?"
"Poker. And I'm good. No one's beat me yet. How old are you?"
"86. How old are you?"
"133. How alone are you?"
Kunanai looked at Han, "What kind of question was that?"
"There's your question but I'll be nice and repeat mine. How alone are you? Is anyone ever there for you when you need them? Do you wanna cry because you're so alone? Do you feel like you and I have the same audience? An audience of none?"
Kunanai went silent. She slowly nodded her head as she remembered Kurama's body.
Flashback
Kunanai sat alone overlooking the crystal clear lake. She felt calm and serene on the hillside, knowing no one was there to hurt or annoy her. She heard Kuronue before he entered the clearing.
"Hey. What are you doing out here all alone?" he asked sitting down beside her.
"I just wanted to get away from everything, you know."
He nodded standing to leave, "Then I'll leave you alone."
She quickly pinned him to a tree, her face coming within inches of his.
"Really? Who said I wanted you to go," she purred out, her hands lightly sliding under his vest to touch the warm skin.
"Kit, stop, come on. You don't know what you're doing."
She leaned in, her eyes staring into his, "Oh but I know more than you would think."
She captured his lips, her tongue sliding into the heated cavity. She pressed her body completely to his, feeling his arms slide around her waist. Easily she removed his vest; her hands running over his taunt back feeling the muscles relax with a touch. He moaned into her mouth, kissing her even more fiercely. It was then she pulled back, a mischievous smile playing on her lips.
"Come, Kuronue. If you want me, come and get me."
She jumped off the cliff and into the heated water below knowing it would tease him. Almost instantly, her clothes which were all white became see through, sticking to her skin as she floated on her back before him. From the water she heard him groan as he stripped off his pants and hat before diving in himself. She laughed outright throwing back her head in excitement at what she was about to do. No one would ever think of her as young or naïve again.
Kuronue swam to her, pulling her to him completely, his hands trying desperately to untie her dress. She watched in amusement, gasping when he growled and ripped her dress down the middle.
"Damn, I hate you, Kit. Stop teasing me already."
She smiled before once again roughly kissing him. He pulled back suddenly gasping for breathe.
"Kit, I don't think we should do be doing this. I mean we just really restored our friendship, isn't this a little fast?"
She swam away only to return a moment later and once again throw herself at him.
"We can at least try."
His eyes widened as he felt her form through the wet cloth that still clung to her. Just feeling her still developing figure pressed to his already naked body was more than he could stand. She kissed him, her mouth opening as she invited him to touch her further, feeling his hands slide over her body hesitantly.
"Honestly. I won't break if you touch me," she whispered, her tongue bravely darting out to trace his jawline.
His only response to her was a moan, his organ pressing firmly against her stomach. She pulled back, removing all her clothing. She wanted to feel him above her, feel him in her completely. Kuronue rested with his back against a rock as if trying to catch his breath. Kunanai studied him. He moaned arching his hips into her hand.
"Come now, Kuronue. Is this how you wish to cum?" she whispered pressing her body flat to him.
He growled, roughly grabbing her hips so he could get better access to her. She held onto his shoulders her nails leaving impressions on the smooth skin. He suddenly thrust into her, listening as she moaned into his mouth. He allowed himself time to adjust to the hot tight walls that surrounded him. The feelings alone were almost enough to send him over the edge.
Slowly he pulled out, pausing only a second before thrusting into her to the hilt. She moaned in pleasure bucking up to meet him halfway. It felt wonderful to feel someone around him, feel their pulse as they crashed into the plain of pleasure great sex ended with. He steadily began to quicken his pace feeling himself closing in on his climax. Kunanai's hold tightened on his shoulders as she climbed higher still. Suddenly with a gasp they both plummeted over the edge, gasping for breath.
Kuronue pulled himself from her, carrying her to a bed of ferns, the plants cushioning their bodies.
She stared at him, her eyelids half-closed in pent up desire, "That's all? But there's still so much to experience."
It shocked Kuronue how quickly he could recuperate at just a small sentence.
'Time for round two,' he thought.
End Flashback
Han yelled Kunanai's name, calling her back to reality as she scrambled to her side.
"Kunanai! What's going on with you? You keep on ignoring me."
She looked at Han shocked, unsure of what she was talking about. It suddenly dawned on her that when she was looking back to the past she was forgetting what happened in the future. It was hard to be locked away without any means of escaping.
"I'm just trying to formulate a plan. Once we escape we'll need it." She answered leaning back against the wall.
Han nodded, returning to the other wall where she had been chained. Kunanai shook her head sadly, trying to return to her memories. She, even now, could not believe that she had seduced Kuronue at such a young age. Kitsune's were near immortal and to sleep with someone at the age of 13 was considerably slutty.
Flashback
Kunanai awoke before Itsonai and found herself unclothed with him on the shore of the lake. She transformed to a fox feeling a little better that she was covered so if he awoke soon he would be unable to attempt having sex again. She hurried through the forest quickly coming to a stream big enough to hold her. She jumped in, vigorously scrubbing herself as if it would make her feel clean.
"Lady Kunanai? What are you cleaning so much?" the voice of Yun asked quietly from the shore.
She shook her head, quickly dressing while avoiding Yun's questioning gaze.
"Don't worry, Yun, nothing's wrong. I just felt….dirty," she whispered the last part.
Yun nodded, moving away through continually watching Kunanai wondering what was troubling her. She returned to the camp, gathering some things to stay away from Kuronue for as long as was possible. Kurama still slept with his lover, him fully clothed. She quickly left a note on the ground, leaving a smoldering message.
She hurried away from the campsite not looking back at the fire for fear the others would stop her. She kept moving swiftly through the foliage without thinking. If she were to stop then everything would catch up with her. The pain, the fear, the guilt. It would assault her, completely throwing her into the deep tar-like pit of depression.
She finally fell to the ground, her limbs exhausted, her body lacking energy. She just wanted to lie there, not thinking of anything but that seemed unlikely as now Kuronue would assume they were lovers and expect sex every night.
"Child, do not worry over such things. You are what you are and need not worry of such things. You are still young," she felt Lord Inari sit down beside her, his presence comforting.
"But how could I do it? How could I actually give something that important away so freely?" she whispered not noticing her eyes remained dry.
Lord Inari pulled her into his arms, stroking her hair as if to calm her, "Do not think of such things. It is just nature, my dear. No matter how much you do not wish to believe it, innocence was lost for you when you killed for the first time."
She nodded, lying her head on his shoulder while she watched the forest floor change in the light. Feeling she was safe in his arms, she began to sleep lightly, unknowing that Lord Inari healed her and allowed her to sleep off the memories.
He lightly kissed her forehead, feeling butterflies growing in his stomach at the slightest touch from the young Kitsune. It would not have been that he cared more for her than the others. Of course, she had lost her parents and was growing cold-hearted by each passing year she spent in the Makai. Yet as long as she felt loyal to her brother she would slowly suffer. It seemed impossible to clean the past of all transgressions done to ensure she would leave the Makai.
He felt obligated to the young child though he could think of no reason why. He leaned back on to a tree, his whole body singing seemingly with joy. He shrugged it off and lightly shook her as he knew it was not the time to leave problems alone, allowing them to rein over her life. She slowly blinked her eyes open to stare at him though unknowing of what had happened and who he truly was.
"Come, my dear. We must confront your problems or they will never leave you, " he whispered glad his hood was covering his face or she would notice the steady blush claiming his cheeks.
The answer to why was easy; it was because his hand rested on her upper thigh, the warmth of her flesh passing through the fabric with ease. She nodded, stretching across his lap before rolling off as if nothing had happened or been improper in the least bit. He stood up, dusting the unseen dirt from his cloak to busy himself until he was sure the red tinge was gone from his cheeks.
"Now, shall we go?"
She nodded a light tint of fear coloring her eyes further. He pulled her into a hug realizing just how small and young she was as she only came up to his waist.
"Do not fear them. I will be with you when you speak to Kuronue."
She nodded her face buried into his abs as he used his energy to transport them to the lakeside. Itsonai had gotten up but only had enough time to put his leather pants back on.
"Kit, there you are. You really had me worried," he froze when she did not look up. "Kunanai, what's wrong?"
Lord Inari knelt down, staring at her. He found no words to say what he saw. Her eyes turned from soft with slight fear dilating them to hard jewels that glinted with carelessness. Her muscles were rigid beneath his hands. A low growl found its way from her throat, sending shivers throughout his body. Before he could stop her, she spun around, approaching Kuronue as a predator does its prey.
"So Kuronue. How'd you like last night? Enjoyable enough? I'm sure you loved it, but you see we've come to a problem. See, I know you, as all males do, want more of last night, right?" She gave him no time to answer, "Yes, I know I'm right. However I'm afraid you're lacking in that department so you'll just have to find some whore to suit you."
She turned away making to leave but Kuronue stopped her, "Actually you're wrong. It is true I would love more sex, heated like last night but not from any of those you just stated." She turned towards him, raising an eyebrow for him to continue, "You see, Kit. I really don't like you like that nor do I like whores. To tell you the truth, the only reason I joined this group was Kurama."
Lord Inari's mouth fell open, "So you prefer men to women?"
He nodded, blushing lightly. Before he could continue though someone ran up to him and kicked him hard in the shin. He looked down to find Yun glaring at him.
"You hurt Nai so now I should kill you! She's nice and you re nothing but a bully."
Kuronue looked at him closely, "Are you sure you have the right person?"
Yun nodded, tackling him with enough strength to make him stumble back before falling into the lake. Kuronue slowly climbed up to his feet, the anger flaring and turning his aura blood red. Yun stared shocked at the imposing manner now held by his enemy.
"Kuronue, freeze!" Kunanai stepped up, blocking his path before he could reach the little boy, "Lay one hand on him and I'll show you the real meaning of pain."
Yun stuck out his tongue while he hid behind Kunanai. The anger in her eyes had replaced the hard, cold stare that seemed as if she was possessed by some unknown creature that tainted the innocence of her soul to become nothing more than a dark and sinister void lack of emotions. Kuronue nodded, grabbing up the rest of his clothes before storming to the camp.
Kunanai smiled down at Yun and lightly patted his head before standing. She stared out over the lake though her eyes saw nothing.
"Inari, what happened to me? Why did I act so cruelly to Kuronue?"
Lord Inari pulled her into a hug, "Because you have lost so much it is only natural to have a darker side to your soul. Once you get control of your powers however then she will disappear forever."
She nodded, her hands clasping the cloth of his cloak as she refused to cry any further.
End Flashback
Kunanai seemingly awoke to the sound of the door opening to the dungeon. She hardly expected to see Maki return within the week but he came quickly.
"Good morning, sister. I hope you feel the affect of my elixir by now."
Kunanai nodded, a small smile gracing her features for the first time in months, "Is it truly morning? It seems to be night always in here. And yes, I can feel the affects of the elixir though only slightly because of how we are fed in this place."
Maki knelt before her, his smile spreading across his face, "Well, it seems your speech has improved dramatically from my last visit. Today though I have also brought some elixir for our new friend."
He tossed Han a small bottle which she caught with ease.
"We are trying to get a man out to Lord Inari but as of yet we have been unable to succeed since no one is in Lord Inari's inner court," he said as he began helping her to drink the elixir.
Han quickly downed the contents and spoke quietly, "There is a spy deep within the royals inner court by the name of Kanu. He works as an adviser to the king."
Maki shook his head, "I'm afraid he has been executed for being a Hanyou. Is there no one else?"
Both girls shook their heads sadly knowing now that hope seemed completely gone for Han and Kunanai were now the only ones able to cross into Lord Inari's inner kingdom without being killed by the palace guardians. Maki nodded, lightly kissing Kunanai's cheek before turning to Han and doing the same.
"Be strong, sisters. Soon we will have our world back in the rightful hands of our lord. No one will be killed by a tyrant king. I will return twice more with the elixir but then a new guard will be given my position. After that you will be able to find me in the Forest of Nirva. Kunanai and I met at this place. Meet me there within the week of a new guard being appointed."
He climbed the stairs quickly and left the two young girls with little hope in their hearts of escaping.
