Chapter 6: Testes and... a separation?

At Momiji's

Kusanagi was fighting the vegetal creature. Damn! It is really strong!

Kusanagi – "Momiji, go and hide!"

That was when the door of her apartment opened suddenly, there were Koume, Yaegashi and Matsu.

Koume – "Momiji, Kusanagi get down! Noooooooww"

She hit the creature with a bazooka. The creature vanished.

Koume – "YEAH! My bazooka is really the best!"

Kusanagi rushed to Momiji – "Are you alright?'

He took her in his arms. She was shaking. Sure it was a hard night for her. First she was making out with Kusanagi and then a weird creature appeared in her loft and was trying to separate them!

Kusanagi turned to the group – "How did you know for the creature?"

Matsu – "I phoned Momiji but she didn't answer and I knew that a creature, coming from the forest of Izumo was approaching Tokyo". She looked at Momiji: "Are you okay?"

Momiji nodded but it was clear that she was shocked.

Matsu – "Okay, it is enough for tonight; I propose a meeting tomorrow at the TAC at 9:30am."

Koume – "Momiji, if you want you can come and spend the night at our flat… I mean your window is broken and you seemed a little bit shocked."

Momiji – "Thanks a lot! But can I ask you a favor?"

Koume – "Yes, all you want!"

Momiji – "Can Kusanagi come too?"

Koume – "WHHHHHHHHHHHHHAAAAAT?"

Momiji, blushing – "In fact, I will feel safer in his arms… Please…."

Yaegashi – "There is no problem Momiji, I'm sure Koume will accept, ne honey"

Koume, hitting him on the head – "Don't call me honey in front of everyone". She was now too busy arguing with her future husband to argue with Momiji about Kusanagi!

Matsu – "Okay, okay, Kusanagi you can go with her, but look me in the eyes, you know what I mean by I trust you." Of course, like Koume and Yaegashi, she had noticed that the clothes of Kusanagi and Momiji were crumpled and their hairs were in a mess… but she thought it was no time for a morale.

Kusanagi nodded and blushed a little (too cute….)

………..

At Yaegashi's

Yaegashi – "Kusanagi, Momiji, you can take the friends' bedroom". He didn't know if it was a good idea to let them sleep together but Momiji really seemed to need him with her. And he knew that when he needed Koume, it can be really frustrating if she wasn't here.

Koume warned a last time Kusanagi - "If you ever tried to touch her..."

Kusanagi was really beginning to get angry with her – "Koume, I will try to speak calmly to you, you keep warning me but I'm also warning you, what I do or I don't do with Momiji is none of your business. You know, tonight it has been really stressing for her so I ask you not to make a scene tomorrow about this night… Good night…"

Koume watched him going silently to the room.

When Kusanagi entered the bedroom, Momiji was already waiting for him in the bed. She had taken some affairs at her apart' for the night.

Kusanagi – "Are you feeling better?"

Momiji – "Yes, thanks for asking, but I feel very tired, I just want to sleep and forget this creature… It wanted to separate us; I'm sure, Kusanagi I don't want to be separated from you…" A tear rolled on her cheek.

Kusanagi went into the bed and held her – "Shhh… I'm sure it will be alright…". He kissed her gently on the lips. She couldn't help blushing as she thought of their previous kisses on the couch. But the memory of the creature reminded her of the fear she had had; she was wondering if it was an aragami…

Kusanagi was watching her – "You thought too much! It's time to sleep, princess!" He opened his arms and she placed herself in, and fall into sleep.

…….

At the TAC

Everyone was gathered at the TAC at 9:30 am. And everyone knows it wasn't a simple meeting.

Kunikida explained the situation: "An energy had been noticed by Matsu in the forest of Izumo. Takeuchi and I went there and we saw the vegetal creature flying. Something is awakening but the question is why?"

Matsu told that there were 3 peaks, but no link between the 3 had been found. "Tell me Momiji, Kusanagi, what were you doing when the creature came?"

Momiji blushed (triple blushed) and Kusanagi found the ceiling very interesting….

She managed to speak – "Euh… Hmmm…. Nothing particular…" Don't lie too much "In fact, I was in Kusanagi's arms… and we were euh…. kinda… kissing…." At this moment she found her feet very interesting. She was expecting a remark or an argument but it never came. So she lifted her head. The discussion about the creature was going on.

Takeuchi – "What happened exactly, Momiji?"

Kusanagi spoke before she could – "The creature clearly wanted to separate us…" He looked at Momiji; he knew it was hard for her to admit this truth.

Everyone – "WHAT?"

Koume – "Why does a creature want to separate you? Does your relationship push someone's in danger?"

Matsu – "Kusanagi, Momiji, today you are going to the labo with me for testes, okay?"

Kusanagi and Momiji nodded.

Matsu – "If we find something, we will tell you…. Let's go."

………..

At the labo

Mastu, Kusanagi and Momiji were gathered in the office of Matsu.

Matsu – "Well, now that we are alone, can you tell me exactly what you were doing when the creature came?"…. "You know, when I arrived at you apart', I noticed that your clothes and your hair were…"

Momiji looked at Kusanagi, they didn't know what to tell or not.

Matsu – "You know, I'm not asking for my personal info! But if you say that the creature wanted to separate you, this may be having a link with the evolution of your relationship, like someone who wouldn't want you to make love…"

Kusanagi – "Well, we didn't make love, we were just having a… we were beginning a session of make out on the couch…"

Momiji – "Hmm, yes, but it was the first time that we went so… so far". She knew she could trust Matsu.

Matsu – "But I thought that there may have a problem with the mitamas if you…"

Momiji – "Yes that's what we thought, but nothing seemed to happen so…"

Kusanagi – "Maybe it has a link with the creature?"

Matsu- "We will try to know, let's begin the testes…"

……..

After the testes

Matsu –"Okay, so… it seems that there is no problem with the mitamas, so you know what I mean…. I think the power of Kushinada may calm the mitamas, I'm not sure… but for now, it's not the problem because I don't know why your couple would be a danger for something or someone."

Momiji – "So… what must we do? Wait for another attack?"

Matsu – "I don't know, I just want to ask you a last question, I noticed 2 peaks of energy, one at 11:37pm the night at the inn and another the next morning at 10:34am… Does it remind you of something? A link with your relationship?"

Kusanagi and Momiji tried to remember the events. Okay… Momiji remembered easily…

Momiji – "Yeah! I know! I know!" Matsu and Kusanagi looked at her intensely.

Momiji – "Hmmm…The night at the inn is the first night we spent together, so maybe we kinda generated an energy? And the day at the onsen, we kissed for the first time in the room then a second time in the onsen."

Matsu – "Okay, so it seems that the energy was awakening as your relationship was evolving. It's really a shame we have nothing about the creature, it just vanished…."

Kusanagi – "So what's now?"

Matsu – "We must go back to the TAC and explain everything, okay?"

Momiji – "Yes, but can I talk privately to Kusanagi before?"

Matsu – "No problem, I let you two alone, we will meet at the TAC, see you later!"

Kusanagi –"What's wrong Momiji?"

She wasn't able to speak, she just wanted to cry. Why? Why? Her relationship seemed to evolve; she just wanted to spend her lifetime with him, and Bam! Somebody; something wanted to separate them!

She started to cry, oh no I don't want him to see me crying for that!

Kusanagi – "Please tell me… Momiji…"

Momiji almost shouted – "What's wrong? Everything is wrong… I just wanted the two of us to be happy together, we were just beginning to have a true relationship and… and…"

Kusanagi took her hands in his – "Don't worry Princess, I'm sure we will quickly defeat this threaten and…" He took her possessively in his arms "… and be sure we will continue our little session"

She wanted to tell him that it was not the time to think about kisses and more but she knew he made this remark just to annoy her. She felt safe in his embrace but he seemed to be a little bit tensed.

He wanted her to forget about the creature but the truth was that he didn't know what to do.

…………………….

At the TAC

When Kusanagi and Momiji arrived, Matsu had already told everybody about the situation.

Then sat and everybody watched them. Okay, it was like terrible news has to be told.

Kunikida – "Kusanagi, Momiji, Matsu told us everything and to protect you I had to take a decision. You must put an end to your relationship."

Kusanagi, Momiji – "WHAT?"

Kunikida – "It seems that the energy is growing as your couple so to stop the total awakening you must stay away during sometimes, during the time we need to ward off this danger."

Momiji was appalled – "No! No! I can't be separated from Kusanagi, I don't want… please…" She took Kusanagi's hand. "Kusanagi, please say something!"

Kusanagi – "I…." Well, he didn't know what to say, he wanted to stay with her but he understood Kunikida's point of view.

Matsu – "Please Momiji, understand us, we don't want you to be sad, it's temporary…"

Kunikida – "The decision is taken. Kusanagi, I think you are mature enough to take your responsibilities… Momiji, every day somebody will come to your apart' to stay with you and to make sure you are not attacked, we must be considerate and prevent any problem."

Momiji – "But…"

Kunikida – "There is no but, today Valencia will come to your loft."

Kusanagi – "Momiji, I'm sorry, I can't go against them and above all, I don't want to put you in danger." He took her in his arms and talked to her in the ear: "Princess, we are not separated, I will find a way to see you, I promise…" He planted a kiss on her forehead and left.

To be continued…

Thanks for reading and tell me if you like!

I want to dedicate this chapter and all the story in fact to all the friends I made during my 6 years of higher education. I just finished today my studies, it's so weird… but I took the time for the first time to write a fanfiction, and I wanted to do it for a long time. Thanks also to Blue Seed a great manga that I just found 2 months ago!

See you next chapter!
