Chapter 7: The deal
At Momiji's
It was Tuesday, and today Sakura had to stay with Momiji. The TAC was trying to collect pieces of information on the new threat.
Momiji was looking outside the window. She couldn't help thinking about Kusanagi. I wonder what he was thinking when he said that we are not separated. I had no news from him. I really hope we will see each other quickly, I miss him.
She was so lost in her thoughts that she didn't hear Sakura approaching.
Sakura – "Ah Ah! You are dreaming my girl… a boy with two eyebrows?"
Momiji blushed a little –"Hmm… in fact, yes… I just wonder how he is…"
Sakura – "My girl you are AD-DIC-TED!... I just don't know why you find him so attractive!"
Momiji – "Well, he is cute, cool, funny, cute, he has big arms, I feel so safe when I am with him and he is sexy!"
Sakura – "well Momiji I'm very impressed, I thought you were a little girl but no, you find a man sexy and maybe hot?"
Momiji – "Oh Sakura don't annoy me, it's just that…"

At the labo
Matsu was doing research but was feeling very angry! NOTHING!
When the phone rang, she knew it was Kunikida. When she told him she had nothing, he was really disappointed but when she told him that she thought she had maybe a solution, he felt relieved… but he turned very upset when he heard her telling that….
………
At Momiji's, Wednesday
It was Koume's turn to stay with Momiji. A certain tension filled the air. Momiji knew that Koume was not very happy for Kusanagi and her. And when Koume had entered the loft, one of the first things she said to Momiji was that maybe it was not bad that she stayed away from that "pervert" Kusanagi!
When Koume left Momiji at 9:00 pm, Momiji rushed to her bed. Pfou…. I wish Koume could understand my relationship with Kusanagi. Ahhhh Kusanagi…. Where are you? Do you think about me? She was about to fell asleep when somebody caught her. Oh no! I'm being attacked and there is nobody…
She was about to cry when the abductor turned her and kissed her!
Ahhhhh she knew the embrace and the kisser….
Kusanagi – "Hello Princess, I promised I would come to see you so…."
Momiji - "Kusanagi, baka! You almost scared me to death! But I'm really happy to see you. How did you enter the loft?"
Kusanagi smiled and showed her a key! –"You gave me this when you had your loft, it was in the case of… I wanted to enter by the windows but they were closed so I thought the door was the ultimate solution!"
Momiji was still in his arms – "Oh Kusanagi, I missed you so…" She looked him in the eyes and was about to kiss him when she remembered "No, I can't…" She pushed herself away from him "You know, I really want to be with you, to kiss you… but I don't want this energy to awake, and maybe put other people in danger."
Kusanagi – "I know, I know… don't worry I came to see you but I also came to suggest you something… I think we should go and ask Kaede about the situation; she maybe knows something. You can have a link with her, ne?"
Momiji – "euh yes, I can try… I just really hope nobody will see us together…"
Kusanagi – "Ready for a flight to the tree?" He gently put her in his arms and kissed her on the lips "Sorry, it was just too tempting"….
…….
At the tree
Momiji felt nervous, she really hoped a solution was to be given by Kaede. But first, she didn't know if she was able to contact her.
Kusanagi – "hey, Princess, lost in your thoughts?"
Momiji – "I was just wondering if I could make it. I will do my best I promise". She turned to face him. I just loooooove him when he cares for me. She was so in a good mood as he had come to see her that she could throw herself in his arms just to surprise him a little bit. Well, that doesn't seem to be a bad idea. Plus, maybe Kaede would have a bad news so I think a big hug is necessary.
She looked at him with malicious eyes.
Kusanagi – She is up to something? "What are youuuuuuuuuuuuuu….?" He couldn't finish his sentence because she had thrown herself in his arms.
She could feel his heartbeat; his chest was so warm… hmmm
Kusanagi – "Hmm Momiji, do you think it's time for this?" He said that but at the same time he tightened his grip around her waist.
Momiji looked at him with puppy eyes – "heyyy Kusanagi, don't be so rude with me, I haven't see you for three days, we are not supposed to be together and maybe Kaede won't give us a solution so I think you can give me strength… and warmth… and kindness…".
Kusanagi laughed – "My dear Momiji, you can be so impulsive sometimes… but you don't know where it can lead you". Here he goes again with his sexy grin. "You know, I could take advantage of the situation and kiss you passionately and…"
Momiji – "HENTAI! I was just asking for some help and you and I know that for the moment there is no further kissing…". She stayed a little bit in his embrace. "Okay, let's do it".
Momiji approached the tree and concentrated – "Please Kaede, come to us". Please, please, please
Kaede appeared quickly behind them – "You called me?"
Momiji was relieved – "Yes, kaede, I'm so glad you heard my call… We have got a problem. A new energy in the forest of Izumo was growing, then a vegetal creature attacked us and tried to separate us, the researches don't give anything. We don't know what to do so we thought that maybe you had sensed something or you knew something."
Kaede – "Yes I have sensed this energy but it's not coming from a dark energy and there is no link with Susano-wo". She looked at Kusanagi. "Kusanagi, you are somehow linked to the plants. I think that if you concentrate enough you could find by yourself the solution."
Kusanagi –"What? I don't understand, I didn't sense anything"
Kaede – "The solution is within you, you just have to discover the truth"… Then she began to disappear.
Kusanagi – "No please, don't go, tell me, Kaede! Come back!" Shit! "Kaedeeeeeeeeee"
Momiji took his arms – "So weird, she meant that the energy has a link with you"
Kusanagi – "Yes, I think I must take time to find the solution." He took her in his arms "let's go back to your loft and we will be able to think about what she said, okay?"
……………………..;
In a car, in the forest of Izumo
Kunikida and Takeuchi were waiting. Kunikida was remembering what Matsu said earlier
' Matsu – "Kunikida, I think that the one way to learn about this energy is to… and you won't like it… but it's to let Kusanagi and Momiji live their relationship"
Kunikida – "Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaattttt!"
Matsu – "I have no piece of information, and the only thing we are sure is that the energy was growing as the relationship of Kusanagi and Momiji was evolving so they are the ones who can awake the energy, but just a little bit, not to create another creature."
Kunikida – "Hmmm, I don't like this, but you say there is no other way?"
Matsu – "Honestly no"
Kunikida – "Okay BUT it's not like we are telling them to make things, ne?"
Matsu – "No, of course no, don't worry I will talk to Kusanagi to go and see her tonight"
……………………
At the labo
Matsu was waiting, nothing was happening, this gonna be a long night. She remembered her talk with Kusanagi.
'Matsu – "Kusanagi, I talked with Kunikida and we allow you to see Momiji tonight, the deal is that she won't have to know that Kunikida, Takeuchi and I know that you will be together."
Kusanagi – "Okay, but why?"
Matsu – "We want you to awake a little bit the energy to be able to take pieces of information because we have nothing. I will stay at the labo and Kunikida and Takeuchi will go to Izumo."
Kusanagi – "Okay, it's weird to be used so I think it's better if she doesn't know about it. Matsu, I have an idea, don't you think we could ask Kaede?"
Matsu – "Yes, just be careful, ne? And I hope you don't think we are pushing you in her arms, so it's not necessary to go far with her, we just want to awake the energy not to create fifty creatures!" She made a wink.
Kusanagi – "hmmm …. Yes…"
………………
At Momiji's
Kusanagi was sitting on the couch while Momiji was making some tea.
He couldn't help thinking about what Kaede said.
Kusanagi – "Momiji, I think that maybe it's not our relationship that had awaken the creature but maybe it's simply me, what do you think?"
Momiji approached with two cups – "I don't know, I think that the link with our relationship is clear, the creature wanted to separate us and remember, the peaks of energy were linked to the growth of our relationship."
Kusanagi – "Yes, I'm lost, so the link is between us – me – the energy creating a creature…" he rubbed his neck "well, it's too late, I can't think anymore".
Momiji sat on the couch – "pffff… why has it to be so complicated? We don't even know if by just being together the energy is awakening" then it hits her… "Kusanagi, what if? What if the energy was awakening another time and the labo noticed it and Matsu called and discovered that we are together and…"
Kusanagi put a finger on her lips – "Don't worry, I'm sure nobody will argue if this happens, okay, relax…" Damn I have to lie, I don't like this but I can't tell her about the test.
Momiji – "You seem very confident about that…whatever… I will try to relax because I don't want you to leave, I mean hmm…. You will stay with me, ne?" she was blushing.
Kusanagi – "Hmm yeah…" He took her in his arms and gently gave her a smack on the lips.
Boy calm down… staying here doesn't mean hmmm… well maybe it's sleeping together but no… and you promise not to create 50 creatures!
Momiji – "Hey, KU-SA-NA-GI, youhouuuuuuu!"
He was so lost in his thoughts that he hadn't notice he had lost his grip around her and she almost felt off the couch.
Kusanagi – "Hmm sorry, just thinking…"
Momiji – "About?"
Kusanagi - "About you and about that" and he kissed her passionately. She felt so surprised, she was a little bit scared but she was very excited. He didn't know why he had let him going in this kiss whereas he promised himself not to be too passionate tonight… He would have stopped if she hadn't responded to the kiss.
Meanwhile in the forest, the energy was awakening another time…
