Chapter 23 – Duet

During the next couple of days, Kurama saw less and less of Sarome, but he would hear her voice coming from the forest line. Something kept him from entering, except for today.

"Hey, where is Tarja?" Kurama asked Sango. She pointed towards the forest line, and Kirara mewed, while she jumped onto his head. "What is it Kirara?" he mused. Sango smiled with a small laugh.

"She is working on a duet, I think, with Tarja. She says she will show us when she gets it perfected, and I honestly cannot wait, Kurama," she said with a small smile. Kurama took Kirara in her arms and bowed in respect.

"I will go find her. Do you mind if I take her?" he motioned towards Kirara in his arms, and she nodded. "Thank you, Sango, Demon Slayer," he said with a polite and respectful bow. She bowed back and he headed towards the forest's tree line.

"Just one last dance...oh baby...just one last dance

We meet in the night in the Spanish café
I look in your eyes just don't know what to say
It feels like I'm drowning in salty water
A few hours left 'til the sun's gonna rise
tomorrow will come an it's time to realize
our love is finished forever

That was obviously Sarome. Her voice was keen and soft, while at the same time longing, powerful, and rough. She was singing a song he had never known or heard of, but as he stepped closer, he could smell her enjoyment, and he watched from only a few feet away from the tree she and Tarja were in. But, that last lyric stabbed him, for he knew, even though it was not directed at him, it was true. It fit them.

How I wish to come with you (wish to come with you)
how I wish we make it through

There was a stop, and then she came back up. He noticed the tears falling down her face, and she angrily wiped them away.

Just one last dance
before we say goodbye
when we sway and turn around, around, around
it's like the first time
Just one more chance
hold me tight and keep me warm
cause the night is getting cold
and I don't know where I belong
Just one last dance

She stopped again, and the soft plucking of a guitar filled the air. Soon, Sarome and Tarja began to hum, and then Tarja brought up the chords on the guitar and then with her voice.

The wine and the lights and the Spanish guitar
I'll never forget how romantic they are
but I know, tomorrow I'll lose the one I love

There's no way to come with you
it's the only thing to do

Here, it began to pick up; Tarja's strumming on the guitar seemed to get stronger and more powerful. Sarome began to use a lot more energy than Kurama had ever seen her use. She moved around, and she actually walked on the branch, twirling, and spinning as if it was an entire ballroom floor.

Here, both Tarja and Sarome dance, facing each other, both were moving with speed, talent, grace, and agility. Sarome might be a cat, known for their balance and agility, but he had never seen a fox dance so gracefully, even on a thin branch like the one they were dancing on. He was amazed at both of their talent. Sarome's voice was strong and powerful, while Tarja's was equally strong and powerful, with an added bonus of love and anxiety.

Just one last dance, just one more chance, just one last dance

"Hello Kurama," Tarja's voice echoed a few seconds after they finished, and the chords of the guitar faded away. "Why don't you and Kirara come out of the tree line?" she mocked with a chuckle. Sarome's eyes were glaring at him, but still, they were playful, as normal. When Kurama didn't emerge, she snapped her fingers and a small explosion appeared next to him. Kirara jumped out of his arms, and climbed up the tree with her claws until she reached the branch right below Sarome and Tarja and fell asleep.

"You too, Kurama," Sarome's voice haunted him. With a cheep smile on his face, he walked out into the clearing. "Enjoy the performance?" she teased. He chuckled slightly and nodded. He jumped up as hard as he could, and then climbed up out to the large branch next to them.

"I actually did. What is it for?" he asked. Sarome and Tarja looked at each other, both with embarrassed looks on their faces. "Well," Sarome began, but was cut off as Erin popped out from behind the trunk, with a small grin on her face.

"They are coming to my world and school to perform!" she squealed and Kurama placed a finger in his ear to relieve the pain. "I can't wait, and Sarome wants to sing with you…wait…can you sing?" she asked. Sarome gulped and Kurama turned to her.

"Oh, really?" he mocked. Her face turned bright, bright red and she nodded.

"Not this piece, though," she said, her face bright red, "I am actually doing this for a friend of mine with him," she said. "No, I have another piece I am ready to do with you, called Every Time We Touch," she smiled, knowing he knew the song.
