Ch9- Double-Teamed
"w-w-what?" Kagome's voice comes out as a squeak.
"Was there something unclear with what I said?" he purrs in her ear.
"Y-y-Youko..." Kagome tries to form words but finds this difficult as she's held close by a cunning and frisky fox.
"Shh" Youko purrs in her ear. "Let's have some fun shall we?" Kagome soon finds herself in her room, or what was supposed to be her room. The only thing left recognizable at all is her bed, but only because of the blue sheets. Everything else is covered in vines and an arsenal of flowers she hasn't seen since the feudal era mixed with somewhat common ones as well as some exotic new plants.
"m-my room..."
"do you like it?" Youko nuzzles her affectionately. "I must say, I think I had a little too much fun, but I'm very pleased that you like it. Tell me, how many of my plants are you familiar with?"
"...m-most of them... B-but I've never s-seen them all together..." she continues to look around in awe as Youko gently sets her down on the bed. "They're so beautiful..."
"them or us?" a new voice purrs in Kagome's ear. Out of shock she ends up jumping onto Youko's lap as a squeaking noise escapes her lips.
"I knew you'd pick me first" Youko purrs, a smirk on his face.
"Ah, but weren't you curious about me first?" the other voice teases as Kagome feels herself being pulled back to meet a familiar bat demon.
"k-Kuronue...?"
"Did you miss me my mistress?" he smiles, showing off his fangs.
"k-Kuronue..."
"what can I do for you this evening?" he purrs seductively, flexing his wigs slightly. A light catches on his lithe wings and Kagome vaguely notices the only light in the room coming from some glowing flowers before she catches herself reaching out to run her fingers along the frame of his dark appendages. "Kagome..." he purrs, running a hand gently up her arm and up into her hair. "Kagome..." he whispers as small tremors course through his wings at her gentle touch.
"I wouldn't tease him like that unless you mean it" Youko purrs in Kagome's ear as he pulls her closer ever-so-slightly.
"w-w-what?" Kagome snatches her hand back and pulls herself out of Youko's lap, back up against the backboard of her bed. "w-what do y-you m-mean?"
"You don't have to act so innocent with us Lady Kagome... You've been around Kuronue long enough denying him, haven't you?"
"..." her eyes widen a fraction.
"Why don't you like me my mistress?" Kuronue's eyes met her in a questioning stare.
"... I like you..." Kagome hesitates. "I'm not a mistress though... I did not save you so I could have a lover..."
"I fell in love with you because I chose to. I've called you mistress in order to show you my devotion. How else was I to openly display my love for you? All these years, and you still won't accept me."
"The more you deny him... the more you break his heart... Is that really what you want?" Youko whispers.
"..." Kagome just pulls her knees up against her chest and wraps her arms around her legs, effectively making herself smaller.
"Youko you're hurting her!" Kuronue pushes the fox over, nearly off the bed. "Kagome... Kagome come back..." the bat tries to get Kagome to come out of hiding. When the smell of salt reaches their noses, Youko joins his thieving partner. They faintly hear the sound of a door opening before they find themselves flung across the room and witness a giant white dog curling its tail around Kagome's form as it glares down at them with blood red eyes.
"Who invited you?" Youko snarls at the demon who just invaded his and Kuronue's territory.
"Don't mouth off at me you insolent whelp." the dog demon snaps. "How dare you hurt my miko" he growls as poisonous fumes start to consume the room, immediately killing all of the flora. "This is my territory!"
