'This can't be happening...' A week had passed and after Botan said she was coming to her house to check for more demons, she had to hide Yura and her new bird friend which she now held protectively behind her back. Yukina was already known to be helping her under the principal's commands, so she wasn't really worried for her. When she had made it home, she was surprised to find Yura gone and a confused looking Yukina standing in the living room and staring oddly at the opened window. Kagome had waited till Botan left to ask what had happened but before anything could be said, Kuwabara had entered.

"Kuwabara? Kuwabara, I can explain; please just, hear me out!"
"Hehe," He placed Yoru on the ground and held his left hand palm up, "Oi, Pu, what are you doing here?"
"...Pu?"
~Chuuuu...Puuuu~
"Eh?" Kuwabara looked the bird demon over and sighed, "At least you aren't bleeding out the ears, otherwise I'd have to be worried about Urameshi...anyways, I should take this little one back to the Demon Empire Sphere. See ya,"
"Wait!"
Kuwabara turned, "Hm?"
"Why...are you helping him?"
"Because...he belongs to...a Demon friend of mine. Like you...I can't kill every demon I come across. Those girls are scary, so I let them handle most of them...Urameshi and me, we go way back. Actually, that punk saved my life, so I owe him this much."
She watched him spread his wings before leaving once more through her window. She glanced to Yukina and smiled at the light blush staining the young girls' cheeks.

Kagome sighed again, "I just hate..." She glanced around, looking over the school grounds from where she stood on the roof, "...that Shura is no longer here...with me..."
"Kagome!"
Kagome felt her heart clinch, her eyes harden, "Botan,"
"Kagome, let's go home, school's over." Keiko said, unaware of the tension between her two friends, neither seeming notice or care if they were fighting.
"Nah, I'm off to the library."
"Eh! On a Friday? Well...alright then..." Botan said, leaving with Keiko beside her.

Kagome traced her fingers over the trident on the cover of the book she held.
"Back to square one again?"
Kagome smiled, "Not quite, this time...I'm not summoning him to capture him...at least...not in the previous sense." She made sure everything was the way it was supposed to be, the candles, incense, sigil, circle...the two mirrors...and...a little change to the summoning circle.
"It's almost twelve," Yoru said, "You sure you want to do this again? I'll admit, the first time was funny, but what if it's not him...? Didn't you try to summon the King last time?"
"It's the same Sigil, so of course it'll be him!"
"I know...I just wanted to make sure you were up for round two."
"...it's almost time, ten...nine...eight...seven...six...five...four...three...two...one..." She watched, her eyes never leaving the mirrors as the familiar purple and black swirl of mist appeared, along with Shura.
His eyes stayed closed until his feet touched the ground, he opened them and stared in slight surprise at the Angel. "...Kagome?"
"Like you didn't see this coming." Yoru mumbled under his breath sarcastically, making his way to the bedroom where Yukina slept peacefully and blissfully unaware of what was happening in the living room, or possibly, soon to transpire there.
"This is a staying spell, Kagome...this time...unless you let me go, I can't leave..." He said in all seriousness, "What were you thinking?" She could tell he wasn't angry, just...confused...
"...Shura...I...I want to be with you!"
His eyes widened a fraction, "What...? As an Angel?"
"Yes...a-as an Angel..."
"..." He closed his eyes and leaned against the couch from his spot on the floor. "I don't want an Angel for a girlfriend."
"And I didn't want a Demon for a boyfriend! I didn't want to fall in love with you..." Her cheeks flushed, "Anyway, I'm still not completely sure if I like you...but..."
He watched her fight the tears forming in her eyes, his hand came up to her cheek and his thumb caught a runaway stray tear.
"Don't just disappear..." She said, 'Shura...your claws...they left marks in my heart...and they won't be so easily forgotten.' Moving closer to him on her knees, she took his hand in hers and placed her forehead against the back of his hand. "Shura...you said, whether it's like or dislike, if the feelings don't disappear...then it is love, didn't you?"
She looked hard into his eyes and he stared at the rush of fire that swarmed in the very depths of her oceanic like eyes. It was like a sunrise dancing on waves, or perhaps, a burning sea. "...Kagome..."
"Since the beginning, you've always done what you want...I want..." She moved so that she was now straddling his hips, his hands moved to her waist on instinct and she leaned in so that her lips just barely grazed his. "...to be like that too..." She placed her lips gently against his and continued a dance that they'd started once before at school. And as she had suspected, his hands trailed beneath her shirt to her back and his fingertips found the Sigil he'd carved between her wings.
When they broke apart he smiled, "No matter what you say, I'm already tied tightly to you, Kagome. This doesn't sound like...what an Angel would say..." He leaned forward and stole her lips once more, "I like it..." He spoke softly against her lips.
This...is the Demon's Emotion...

(Four Months Later)
"Hey Yoru!" Kagome walked inside with a bag, "They were out of Taiyouki, you eat Red Bean Paste too...right?"
"Yes, it's delectable as a treat, why?"
"What about spicy foods?"
"It really depends on the food."
Shura watched the interaction between his girlfriend and her demon neko Yoru, he couldn't be seen by anyone but Yukina, Kagome, Kuwabara and Yoru now, after placing a spell over himself to keep Kagome out of trouble with that Botan girl. 'Like tearing off flower petals...at first, I wanted to tear off her wings...but...'
"THAT'S NOT SPICY! THAT'S BURNING!"
"Ah! Sorry! I guess you can't have Wasabi..." She smiled sheepishly.
'She's really an Angel without wings...' He smiled, "You get along well with Demon's."
"Huh?" She glanced over her shoulder as she pet Yoru apologetically. "How so?"
"With the both of us..."
Kagome looked to both her pet and boyfriend; smiling, she looked back to Shura, "I never really paid that much attention to it,"
He grinned, taking her hand in his, he pulled her up off the floor and onto the couch where sat, helping her into a straddle. He loved her in this pose. He liked it a lot, "Since I'm now invisible, you can do something naughty." He said to her, a small twinkle in his eyes.
Kagome's own eyes brightened, "You'd do anything I wish? Anything at all?"
"..." He smiled, '...to break your wings...' He kissed her, "Anything...however, it has to be something so bad, that you would have no right to be an Angel anymore, Kagome..."
"..." She smiled, "...okay...say you like me then."
"Huh?"
"...because...you've never told me that you like me, before...never..."
He smiled, "You want me to say that?"
"Hurry." She said, looking desperately into his eyes.
An Angel in Love with a Demon
"...I like you...Kagome." He pressed his lips against hers and smiled as she melted into his arms.
A Demon Holding an Angel Captive
'I like you a lot,' He thought, lacing his fingers within her hair.
These Are Serious Offenses
'So much...that I don't think...I'll ever let you go,'
But to Think About Rules Now...
He maneuvered himself in a different position before pushing her carefully against the couch, supporting her head as he placed it on the arm of the sofa,.
Is Meaningless.
He smiled, 'I promise...I'll make you feel things that you've never even imagined...'
But Actually
I Like it This Way
Plucking a Flower
Then Sprinkling the Petals on an Angels Body.
