Ch4- lost perfect moments
"Why didn't you tell me that Youko was alive?" Kuronue asks as he slowly sneaks behind the couch where Kagome is sitting and puts his
arms around her shoulders, leaning his head down to nuzzle her affectionately.
"He wasn't ready. I didn't intend to show him to you quite yet. I was going to save it as a Christmas gift..." she sighs. "But he opened his mouth and ruined it."
"My dear beloved mistress... I'd much rather have you for a Christmas gift" he lifts her hand to his lips and kisses it slowly. "I would decorate your room for a romantic evening you would never forget" he purrs in a deep, intoxicating voice. "We would meet at the annual Christmas party... You in a beautiful gown as white as new snow just fallen from the heavens, and I in robes as dark as night, offering you the secrets of the midnight hour. The lights from the tree spread around your graceful figure like the northern lights, giving you a natural deity glow as I catch you on the balcony and gently pull you to me as we find ourselves victims of a well-placed mistletoe..." as Kuronue is about to continue there is a knock on the door. "This better be important" he growls as he slowly let's go of Kagome and makes his way to the front door. As he rips open the door he releases some of his spirit energy as a clear warning. Standing in front of him is the red-headed guy from Koenma's office. "Who are you and what the hell do you want?" Kuronue growls "you just ruined one of the most perfect moments so you better have a damn good reason why I shouldn't kill you where you stand"
"... Kuronue... I'm Youko, you're old thieving partner" Kurama states.
"Currently that's the only thing saving your sorry ningen hide. I almost had her! I was so close! I have been with my mistress since the day she saved me and nursed me back to health. I fell in love with a broken miko who knows more the I, who is stronger than me and who is resistant at every turn. I was weaving a perfect moment, I had her so close I could taste it and just when she's about to let me through her barrier, at the piqué of passionate embrace... You've ruined the last 492 years of my life!!!"
"... I haven't seen you for many decades. I thought you were dead! I find out by an interrupted meeting that not only are you alive, but that you are living with the most powerful creature I have come across. Not to mention she's quite easy on the eyes."
"Don't even think about it fox. I was here first and I have no intention of sharing. I'm keeping this treasure all to myself"
"But Kuronue-"
"Who's at the door Kuro?" a light voice drifts through the air. The bat sighs before pulling the door back for her to see. "It's just Youko. There was no need for you to get up my mistress, please go back to the living room and relax. I will return to you shortly."
"But Kuro, don't you want to spend time with your old friend? I know I sheltered you two from each other for quite some time after all, I do suppose I was acting rather selfish. Forgive me" she turns and begins to climb the stairs.
"No mistress!" Kuronue leaves the doorway and runs to Kagome, grabbing hold of her hand to stop her retreat. "Why are you leaving me?"
"I am letting you spend some quality time with your guest."
"There is nothing to say or do that cannot be said or done with you here. You have no need to isolate yourself"
"I am sure that after so many centuries you two need some personal one-on-one time. The sooner you to talk with him the sooner his curiosity will be satisfied. He is a fox after all, he has no intention of leaving here without the answers he seeks" she leaves them and retreats to her room, shutting the door behind her.
"I've lost her again" Kuronue growls as he turns to Kurama. "Go sit in the living room while I get some tea."
