"W...where...where's...y...you...your...neck...necklace?"

She struggled with words again.

"ARGGG!"

He grunted in pain.

"I le...left it...by the damn r...river!"

He barley managed to say.

"S...Stay here...I'll run and get it..."

"But you're h...hurt!"

"I am not!"

She said looking up at him. Her face was still red, but she didn't care.

"Stay here!"

She said as she took off for the river.

"KIKI NO!"

Hiro shouted after her, but she kept running. She felt so much pain, but she ignored it and reached the river. She spotted the necklace, grabbed it, and ran back towards Hiro. She reached him, out of breath, but hiding that and her pain.

"Here…"

She said as she walked over to him and put it on him. She leaned on the other side of the tree, catching her breath. She closed her eyes, visualizing seeing her beloved companion up at Mount Kisaki. She opened her eyes because she felt hot breath on her face. She saw Hiro, arms above her shoulders on the tree, standing close to her. He touched his forehead to hers.

"I know how bad you wanted this so…"

He kissed her quickly on her lips, and then walked around to the other side of the tree. She stood there, paralyzed. Red returned to her face.

"You're ok, right, Kiki? Or did I surprise you too much."

Hiro said with a hint of teasing in his voice.

"N...no..."

She said with her pride getting the better of her.

"'No' you're not alright, or 'no' I didn't surprise you?"

Hiro said not losing that hint in his voice. Kiki couldn't see it, but he was smiling.

"N…no y…you d…did…didn't S…surprise m…me."

"Ok, so that's why you're stuttering."

He said being a smart-ass. (Or would that be tail?)

"Huh?"

She said quickly regaining composure. God forbid he saw her with her face redder than his hair! Hiro gave a small laugh.

"What's S…so funny K...kit?"

"Oh nothing…"

He answered with that smile of his.

"Are you feeling better?"

Kiki asked, suddenly in front of him.

"...huh...?"

He said as he saw her there, seeming like out of know where.

"Are you feeling better? You were really hurt a little bit ago…"

She said with that smile you put on when you're hurting too.

"Don't worry about me, you're hurt, too."

He took off his necklace.

"My wounds would take longer to heal, so take this."

"I'm fine!"

She said defiantly.

Hiro touched one of her bleeding arms and put it on the blue crystal. Even though she said that she was fine, he put it around her neck

She looked at him.

"Thanks Hiro...for caring... But I really don't need your help. I've fended Sesshomaru-sama off since I was a baby. I still have that one scar on my..."

She stopped because she said too much.

"Scar... on where?"

He asked.

'Or do you not want to tell me so I don't get curious?'

He thought in his head.

"My shoulder and down my back..."

She said quietly.

"..Oh…"

Was all he could say.

"...So I guess that there's an even bigger reason for him to be on my shit-list."

Hiro said after thinking for a little bit.

"Why's that?"

Kiki asked peering up at him and peeling her eyes away from the ground.

"Because he scared you, and it sounds like that it is the worst one. He hurt you, isn't that reason enough?"

Hiro said not realizing that he basically repeated himself.

"Why the hell do you even care? I'm just some Inu that you met today. It's not even the worst injury I've had. I can take care of myself!"

"Well, I...uh... I... let me think about that...while you hear with that necklace."

Hiro said so she wouldn't take it off. He turned his back to her; he was looking at the sky in concentration.

"Hiro… don't worry about my brother. Just forget about him."

"How can I not, he shouldn't hurt his little sister! What type of person would do that!?!" Hiro said.

"Wait a sec..."

Hiro put his hand on his chin in thought.

"He does it because I get in his way... That's all, just leave him alone. Why the hell do you even care?"

"One that is not a good reason, two I told you to let me think about that!! But you know what I just realized..."

Hiro said wanting her to answer.

"What did the brilliant fox just realize?"

Kiki said sarcastically.

"Well, I used up my first kiss on you... you're lucky you're cute."

Hiro said not even really thinking.

"What?"

She said in utter amazement

"What I said what I said. I am a man of my word, and that is a promise."

Hiro said.

"What's a promise?"

Kiki asked.

"Well, that, that was my first kiss and that you were pretty."

Hiro continued to talk without thinking.

"Well, I used my kiss on some awesome guy I know. Best person I've ever knew."

She said, not seeming to be talking about Hiro.

"Really? Who was it?"

Hiro asked. (Today is Hiro-no-think Day!)

"Someone cute, and strong, and fast."

She said as she was suddenly behind him.

"It sounds like I don't know him."

Hiro said, kind of getting it, but wanting her to say it.

"Oh, I think you do."

She said in an emotionless tone in Hiro's ear.

"...uh..."

He couldn't say anything due her being so close.

"I'm n...not so S...sure."

He said, trying to keep his composure.

"I am."

She said as she was suddenly in front of him and very close.

"Uh...uh..."

He was wordless, once again.

"I like you, Hiro. I like you a lot."

She said perfectly as if she had practiced over and over in a mirror. No blush came to her face, and her voice was calm. Hiro wasn't as calm as her; he had a ferocious blush on though.

"B...but...y...you j...j...just met m…me."

Hiro stumbled. She turned, took off his necklace, tossed it over her shoulder to him, and started to walk away

"Wait, what does that have to do with your first kiss?"

Hiro asked.

He caught it because he has to.

"Because, it was you."

She said, continuing to walk away.

"It was!! Now there's a shocker!"

Hiro said in shock. She just continued to walk away, realizing that she couldn't get close to Hiro.

"Hey, are your wounds all healed up?" Hiro asked since she tossed him the necklace back.

"Yea."

She said stopping in her tracks.

"Ok."

He said as he put the necklace around his neck and took out a knife.

"I'll see you around sometime, Hiro."

She said as she looked back at him.

"What?"

Hiro asked as he pushed his hand on the blade of the knife.

"Where are you going?"

Hiro said looking at her still pushing down. She provided no explanation, and simply continued to walk away from Hiro to the East. He was suddenly in front of her.

"You can't just leave like that."

Hiro had a sly smile on.

"Why not?"

She said avoiding his glance. His eyes winced as the blade sliced his hand.

"Aw, because that's not how you say 'good bye', and you brought me into this so I'm not leaving like that."

"What do you mean?"

She said softly, staring intently at the ground.

"Well, I wouldn't leave you alone after all of that, you basically saved my tail back there, and I just used my first kiss on you...OK that last part was my fault, but you get the picture."

Hiro said as some blood dripped to the ground.

"So I helped you out...So you kissed me. So what?"

"Uhh, FINE LEAVE!! IF THAT'S WHAT YOU TRULY WANT!! I JUST DIDN'T WANT YOU TO!!"

Hiro yelled becoming irritated.

"Oh... I just... can't stay here... with you..."

She said, still talking to the ground.

"Why is that!? YOU KNOW WHAT, FINE I'LL GO FIRST!!"

Hiro yelled starting to stomp away.

"I...I don't mean it like that..."

She said realizing what that sounded like. She sat on the ground and looked up at the moon, wondering why she always drove them away.

"I...I'm sorry Hiro...sorry we can't be friends..."

She said quietly

"Wait, what!? Why can't we be friends? All friends have fights."

He said as turned around and faced her.

"Because..."

Everything she said after because was inaudible to Hiro's skilled ears.

"What?"

He said suddenly in front of her again. Hiro held the necklace with his bloody hand.

"I said everyone who's says that they'll be there for me... they either die or leave me... They all go away in the end."

She said quietly.

"AND YOU CUTTING YOURSELF ISN'T MAKING THIS ANY EASIER!"

She said raising her voice, but still not looking at Hiro.

"Oh... But I wasn't cutting myself in an Emo sense; I was trying to heal myself."

He said looking at his bleeding hand, which was healing.

"Oh..."

"DUH! Ok, you said that all of the ones that said that they will be there left?"

Hiro asked.

"Yea…"

"OK. I, Hiro Komatsu, promise with my life that I will not leave Kikiza Ryoku alone for as long as I live!"

Hiro said.

"Why do you even care? Why do you stay with me? Why are you so concerned?"

"Well, didn't I already tell you why I was concerned back at that house? Why I stay... Because I have no where else to go..."

Hiro said silently at the end.

"Why I care... I can't figure that out yet…"

Hiro said hoping that she wouldn't catch the middle part.

"You and me the same... No where to go..."

'Damn it, why do people always notice the part the other is trying to hide!?"

Hiro thought to himself.

"Because... I was raised to be observant. I had to check and observe if Sesshomaru was in a bad mood..."

She finished quietly.

"Oh... but that doesn't explain every one else, and COULD KEEP OUT OF MY MIND!!!"

Hiro said. Kiki mumbled something.

"What?"

He asked leaning in closer to hear.

"I said I'm sorry Hiro-san…"

"Uh... what's with the 'san'? I thought we were friends?"

Hiro said with one of his smiles. He also gave a short, yet irresistible laugh. She didn't answer, and instead simply stared at the ground.

"We are friends right? Why do you keep staring at the ground?"

Hiro asked titling his head like a confused puppy.

"...were...were friends if you want to be..."

She said quietly.

'I want to be...'

She thought.

Well, then we are. But you still didn't answer the other question."

He said staring down at her.

"Because…I…I can't explain it."

She said softly, still looking at said ground.

"Why can't you?"

Hiro said putting one hand under her chin and gently lifting her chin up so she was looking him in the eyes.

"I...the ground look interesting..."

She said, letting her pride, once again, get the better of her.

"Ok, if that's what you want... but I don't want your gaze to be now the ground."

Hiro said.

'I kind of want it on me... wait don't be selfish Hiro!!'

He yelled at himself in his own head. Kiki stood up and looked into Hiro's eyes.

"You have my attention…"

"..Uh...uh..."

Hiro stuttered.

'Those eyes... Wait she read my mind again! Do I really care? No I wanted her to know that.'

Hiro thought regaining his composure.

"So I do."

He said with that irresistible smile of his. He titled his head to the side just a little making his smile even more irresistible. He stared right back into her eyes.

"What are you smiling at Hiro?"

She asked in a quiet yet somewhat less afraid voice.

"You."

Was his short and sweet response.

"Me? What's to smile about with me?"

She questioned, tilting her head in that 'confused puppy' way. He gave his laugh.

"What isn't there? I mean you are my friend, one of my only ones."

Hiro said continuing his smile.

"Hiro, I'm sure you have plenty of friends..."

She said.

"I'm nothing special. Just a simple Inu…"

"No, not really."

Hiro started,

"Most of them probably hate me by now."

He said.

"Hey who said that it was a bad thing to be simple? I mean you didn't you want to just be a normal Inu, right?"

Hiro said using what she had told him.

"I still don't, but it isn't like I have much choice. The Shiyakusho has decided my fate..."

She said turning away from him, and looking up at the stars. He hugged her from behind,

"You don't get to chose who you are, but you do get to chose who you become."

Hiro whispered in her ear. His warm breathe was felt on the back of her neck. She closed her eyes at the feeling of him hugging her.

"I know what I am to become. It's not what I want, Hiro, it's what the Shiyakusho want..." She said, almost passing out from being tired. He pulled her closer, knowing that she wouldn't listen to him right now. Her face turned red and her eyes shot open. Her body tensed up.

"What?"

He whispered all so softly. She remained motionless, but he could feel every muscle in her body tighten with either fear or surprise. He sighed, thinking that she didn't like it so he went to un wrap his arms from her. Kiki quickly touched her hands to his quickly retreating arms.

'Please...' "

Don't..."

She finished aloud in a soft voice. His eyes went wide in surprise for a second but then pulled her into another embrace. She kept her hands there, simply happy that she felt safe from Sesshomaru for once in her life. She felt safe from the world. He pulled her just a little closer.

She closed her eyes, exhausted from the day. Hiro let her go, sat down, and then pulled her down into his lap. She was too tired to do anything.

"Where to? We were going somewhere…"

"I can walk!"

"Just tell me!"

"Mount Kisaki…but…"

Before she could say anything, Hiro got up, pulled her onto his back, and took off. They stopped at two tall trees.

"Lead the way…"

He said as she got off his back with a glare.

"Hey, don't glare at me! You were tried, right? I just let you rest for a little bit!"

Hiro said noticing her glare.

"Feh... I could have walked. Hope you can keep up, Kit."

She took off, jumping off a tree stump and onto rocks, climbing the cliff wall.

"Now here's some fun!"

He said as he dashed up and to Kiki's surprise was keeping up with her without a sweat. Kiki quickly ducked into a hidden cave, surprising Hiro as he stopped while climbing. He looked around for Kiki.
"In here Kit."

She said as she poked her head out, grinning like mad. Her eyes shone in the moonlight. Her hair seemed to glow. She seemed so radiant in the light. Quickly, she ducked back into the cave. Hiro shook his head to get rid of a blush and followed. As Hiro entered the cave, he saw Kiki petting something. He back was to him. He couldn't see. Hiro moved closer to get a better look.

"See, niisan, I told you I would be back. You didn't think I would leave you here, did you?"

Kiki said softly to what appeared to be a black wolf. Hiro walked up to the wolf. "Niisan?"

He asked with an eyebrow arched. The wolf growled at Hiro, barring his teeth. His ears went flat against his head. He was planning on attacking.

"Enkai! Down! Kitsune tomodachi! Daun! "

Kiki said sharply to the wolf. The wolf quickly lied down, shill growling quietly. Hiro blinked a few times to control himself. 'That wolf growled at me! Wait, it's Kiki's I can't growl back. Not to mention if I did it would seem weird to her...'

Hiro thought.

'I feel like I'm still a kit.'

He then sighed. Kiki barred her fangs at the wolf and growled herself. The wolf rolled on its back, showing its black belly. His tail between his legs. He was whining for forgiveness.

"Busata."

Kiki said to Enkai. Hiro's tails started to wave again.

'It's not so bad to feel like a kit, I guess.'

He thought to himself with a smile.

"Hiro, this is Enkai. He's a wolf that Koga…um…gave me to look after. I use the Japanese words because that's how I trained him."

She said with a smile. She then turned to Enkai.

"Enkai, Kitsune my tomodachi. His meishou Hiro. He will be our raihin for a while."

(Tomodachifriend. Daundown. Busata be silent. Meishouname is. Raihin guest. For those of you who don't know Japanese)

Ok, so he's not going to try to kill me now, right?"

Hiro asked.

"He won't, unless…I tell him to."

She said with a grin.

"...Oh..."

Hiro said, looking threatened. His tails stopped waving when he said that. He wasn't afraid that Enkai would kill him, because he didn't think he could. He feared Kiki even sending Enkai after him.

"But don't worry. I like you Hiro."

She said with her "special smile". You know the one that makes guys want to like the girl. That one.

"So, you hungry?"

She asked.

"…Uh…"

Hiro said as his stomach roared out in hunger.

"I'll take that as a yes."

She said as she took off for the back of the cave. She jumped off another cliff that Hiro hadn't noticed, and a splash was heard. Enkai quickly followed her. Hiro then realize that they weren't in a cave at all, but what they had climbed was a big, natural stone wall. They were on a cliff top, facing what seemed to be water.

"Just great... water…"

Hiro said with a slump.

A minute later, Kiki re-appeared with a few things in her mouth, and others in her hand. Enkai followed faithfully with things in his mouth too.

Hiro sniffed the air then turned around to face them, "FISH!!"

Enjoy lmao! Let me know what you think ok? The fluff will be over soon! Promise 3
