Chapter 14:

Kurama backed off slowly. He didn't like what this stranger was saying; he was perfectly describing rape, without saying the word itself.

Kurama started towards the door slowly, not wanting to make anything obvious. But, he knew he had to say something before he left. He couldn't just leave abruptly.

"I'll be right back, I'm afraid I have to go out for a moment,"

He vaguely heard Karasu move, Kurama kept his back turned, ready to leave if he needed to.

"Excuse me, Karasu. Did you hear me? I said-,"

Suddenly, he heard footsteps approaching him from behind. He turned slowly to see Karasu walking up to him. Kurama gasped, how could he be walking!

"Then, I'll follow you, m'love," he said softly.

Kurama rushed over to him and pushed him back into the bed. "No! What are you doing up? You shouldn't even be able to move after I pulled that from your leg, you're lucky you can still feel it,"

Kurama pushed Karasu down, but more or less Karasu laid down on his own will. Inwardly snickering about the effort.

"The attraction I feel for you is by far stronger than the pain I feel, my Kura,"

Kurama blushed and backed off a bit. "Excuse me? No, I have to go now, I'll-,"

Kurama saw Karasu start to get up again, but this time with a strange smirk, and his prime instinct came into play. Run.

Kurama darted out of the room quickly, cursing himself for not getting to know the place better when he had the chance; he was forced to run blindly.

He turned a quick corner and stopped. He pressed himself against the wall, trying to keep his breath under control without suffocating himself. He slowly got closer to the corner and peered out, there was no sign of him.

Kurama closed his eyes and gave a sigh of relief, releasing the breath he was holding in. He gave a short laugh.

"He's partially cripple now. What the hell am I worried about?"

But suddenly he felt a strange sensation on his neck…coldness. And something was moving his hair around…almost playing with it.

Kurama whirled around to see no one, but Karasu. Standing there, perfectly unaffected by his now bleeding wound.

Kurama grasped and tried to turn and run again, but Karasu grabbed his face and forced him into an unwilling kiss. Kurama's eyes widened in shock as we trying to pull way, but Karasu took him and shoved him against a wall and deepened the kiss, made his harder. Kurama moans and screwed his eyes shut when he felt Karasu leave his mouth and move down to his neck.

Kurama pulled away this time. "Please Karasu, please don't do this," Kurama pleaded.

Karasu looked down at Kurama. "Kurama, I can honestly tell you don't like it here. And don't try and tell me I don't know where "here" is. Why are you with Youko? How is he using you?" Karasu said calmly.

Kurama was taken aback by the question. It was so…random. "Use me! What are you talking about?"

"He wants you, and I want you more. Come with me, now. I'm calling you as my own before he gets to you," Karasu said, in an almost demanding way.

"What? No, I believe you are mistaken. I'm not used here whatsoever. And I plan on going anywhere with you,"

"It's not like Youko would even allow it," Kurama thought, remembering the threats.

"But then tell me the truth. Do you like it here?"

Kurama thought for a moment. "Well…no, not really, but-,"

"Then you must come with me, Kurama. I could show you so much…I could show you love. Love is the rawest of forms. It would take time, but you would learn to enjoy it,"

Kurama gasped at the thoughts, and then shook his head. "No, please, you don't understand the brunt of it,"

"Then, Kurama, give me time and soon I may understand, for now, come with me, I'm taking you,"

"What? No! Stay away! Karasu, please don't-," But a hand was clasped over his mouth and he soon ran out of air and passed out slowly. Karasu smiled and picked him up. He could only imagine the fun they were going to have…

Sorry for the chapter being so late, everyone. Work's been harder than usual and I have wayyyy to much book work --;

But thank you very much for all the reviews! And by popular demand, I'm going to start adding on to "Evermore" again
