Chapter 2: Feelings?

6 years later

Nearly six years past since Youko and Miyouka met, now they've become quite close to one another. The duo also found out that they live very close to one each. How close? Well they both live in the same lair and right next door to each other. They both belong to the same clan, the Shido Suru clan, whom are known from their superior skill as thieves and their amazing fighting skills. The Shido Suru clan is a multi-family living complex who shares the same lair, and not living that far part from one another. It was a normal day, and normal in the Shido Suru building starts out like this…

"Youko-chan, come back here!" A ten year old Miyouka screamed as she ran down the corridor of the Shido Suru clan's house. She dodged numerous canine demons as she chased a swift moving fox demon who stole her pastel pink satin ribbon.

"Oh Youko, wait until I get my hands on you, I swear I'm going to kill you!" Screamed Miyouka as she turned a corner, she smiled when she realize where he's running toward. 'Great, that jerk's running toward the end of the lair. Meaning he's running toward a dead end.'

Running until he reached a wall of stone, Youko turned only to find Miyouka blocking his exit. "Awww come on Miyouka, what did I ever do to you?" Asked the pouting fox.

"I'll make you a damn list! Now could you hand over my favorite ribbon, please?" Screamed a frustrated Miyouka, her rosy, pink eyes glowed with anger as she stalked closer toward her prey.

Youko backed away, inching toward the back of the wall. "Come on Miyouka, we're best of friends. I can never make you so mad that you'll actually hate me." Stated Youko, his golden eyes never left her anger glowing eyes.

"That's what you think, now hand it over!" Miyouka stalked ever so closer to Youko.

Just when Miyouka was close enough, Youko jumped over her and ran. Miyouka stood there for a couple seconds in confusion before she notices that Youko was gone.

"Err, Youko!" She half whinnied and screams, her fist were clutch at her sides and she stomped her feet. She turned around and started in the direction he was running and chased her incredibly cunning friend. As she ran, she noticed the hall was getting a bit crowded. She swiftly avoided contact with the other tenants of the Shido Suru Clan as she trailed her silvered hair prey.

Youko purposely led her outside, waiting near the lair entrance. As soon as Miyouka ran out, her eyes skimmed her surrounding looking for him. Not noticing that Youko sneaking behind her and used her precious ribbon as a blindfold.

"What th--Youko is that you! What do you think you're doing?" The young confused vixen inquired, her anger was quickly dispersed and forgotten.

Youko grin his boyish smile, already knowing she couldn't see him. "I'm going to bring you somewhere, okay? So just relax and enjoy the ride."

"What ride?" Miyouka cocked her head to the side, showing how completely clueless she was at the very moment; it also didn't help the fact that she was blindfolded.

He just snickered and replied, "This ride." He picked her up bridal style and ran off into the forest.

--

"Damn Miyouka have you gain weight?" Teased Youko as he traveled through the groves of trees, the only reply he received was his best friend hitting him on his head.

"Oh don't you dare make fun of me, Youko Kurama! If you provoke me one more time, than I refuse to go with you. So there." She stuck out her tongue out, and then burst out giggling softly.

"So if I tease you one more time, you want me to drop you. Is that it?" Youko smirked as he came to a sudden halt. He looked around for a moment; trying to comprehend which direction he needed to travel to his destination.

"Youko, why did we stop?" Question Miyouka as she started to take off her blindfold, but Youko stopped her.

"Miyouka, if you attempt to take off your stupid blindfold one more time, I swear I'm going to drop you." Youko threaten as he started to sprint again.

"What did I say about mocking me Youko?" Miyouka said as she crossed her arms in front of her chest to show that she was in some way serious.

"When did I tease you?" Youko sighed, this was getting quite irritating and his arms were starting to ache from the extra weight. It wasn't because Miyouka was heavy; actually she was surprising quite light, it was just he never had to carry anything that was over twenty pounds for a long period of time, none the less run with it as well.

"You did when you said my ribbon is stupid!" She huffed out. It wasn't really him teasing that causes her to be so aggravated; it wasn't the fact that he stole her ribbon either, even though that really did enrage her. Actually it was the fact that for roughly a month or so they were really drifting apart. He ignored her and would disappear for long periods of time. He was really worrying her…

"Fine, then I'm dropping you." He stopped and loosens his hold on her, and because of that, Miyouka threw her arms around his neck and held on for dear life.

"Hey what was that for? You weren't really going to drop me right, Youko?" She questioned weakly, her arms still wrapped tightly around her best friend's neck.

"I thought that you wanted me to drop you." The ten-year-old Youko teased as his grip on her began to loosen even more. A smile was plastered on his handsome face, which started to fade when he heard his closes friend starting to whimper in fear and clutch him ever tighter than before.

His golden eyes immediately soften and his hold tightens around her petite form again.

"Never mind, let's just go." Youko whispered as he sprint the last mile or so toward their final destination. Once there he placed her gently on her feet, slowly guided her toward the sandy shores of a lake and only then did he remove her blindfold.

She could feel the smooth ribbon being removed, the only thing that blocked her view was the fact that her were closed. She fluttered her rose pink eyes open, and gasped at the sight that before her.

"This is…this place is…" Miyouka whispered as she turned her head to face the boy who brought her here. Her beautiful eyes were wide with a pleasing shock.

"Yeah, this is the place where we first met, Miyouka-chan." Youko confirmed with his cocky smirk, his honey colored eyes never left her face. She was still stunned, her lips were slightly parted, and her eyes glimmer as she turned her gaze back toward the lake. He blushed when he notice that he was looking at her much too intimately.

'It hasn't changed after all these years…' Miyouka thought as she looked upon the stunning pool of water, the calm clear water glisten when the evening light hit its reflective surface. A smile graced her attractive face as she remembered the first time she ever laid eyes on the boy named Youko Kurama. She remembered everything; how he gave her a pretty red rose that she still had in her possession after all these years.

"Why did you bring me here, Youko?" She question, her rose colored eyes never left the glistening lake. All Youko could do was smirk again as he walked toward Miyouka.

"You don't know what day it is Miyouka-chan?" The cunning kitsune asked as he flicked his long silver hair off his shoulder. He looked at Miyouka who was shaking her head furiously. He sighed; she could be so dense sometimes.

"This is actually the anniversary of the day we first met, exactly six years ago in this exact stop." Youko replied, as he reached behind his hair and produced a red rose. He stole a glimpse at Miyouka, her endearing face squinted slightly and her index finger was on her lower lip, she looked as though she had was trying her best to recollect something.

"Oh yes, most definitely. I remember you gave me a red—" Miyouka turned and stopped when Youko handed her the beautiful red rose, exactly like that day six years ago. Her eyes soften again as she reached for the rose, it had the same flawless crimson petals, as smooth as satin, and it had the same viridian stem as the rose before it.

"Did Auntie Kikuyu force you to give me one again?" Miyouka teased; her sights still on the rose that her pale hands were holding. Youko frowned at her comment; he lifted her chin up with a hand and smiled tenderly.

"Both my mother and Auntie Ayumi didn't even have a clue that I was taking you here. Did you know how long I had to run around this dreaded forest to find this place again?" Youko stated rhetorically, but because she was Miyouka she answered.

"I don't know, probably a few weeks…" Then a flash of recognition hit her, than she realized something, "and that's why you were ignoring me for the past month! Thank goodness."

She moved toward Youko and she threw herself on him, causing him to lose balance and fall. The impact on the ground cause Youko to cringe, he lifted a clawed hand to rub the back of his head gently and Flinch upon contract.

"What was that for?" He said when he looked down at the female fox that's hugging him tightly around the waist. This caused his cheeks to flush a dark shade of pink.

She lifted her head up to look Youko in the eyes, her azure bangs shadowed the emotions from being revealed from her eyes. "I thought you didn't like me anymore, because you were ignoring me. You had me really worried, you jerk." She pouted her pink lips, and giggled her carefree laugh.

Youko blushed again and got up, once up, he held a hand out to assist her. She giggled again when she saw his flush stained face, she than grabbed his hand for assistance. Once both had dust themselves off, he occasionally would seek a glance over a Miyouka, who would sometimes catch him and would smile sweetly at him.

"Thank you Youko-chan, sometimes you can be so sweet." She then leaned over to give him a chaste kiss on the lips. Their lips scarcely touched at all before she then leaned away and picked up her rose that dropped to the ground when she hugged him. She dusked the silky petals before she skipped back toward the forest.

Youko stood there still as a statue, his golden eyes wide with shock as his hand reach up to his lips. 'S-she kissed me?' he thought, confusion filled his mind.

The evening wind blew, playfully blowing her long silver azure hair, as she skipped ahead of her companion. She spun quickly back to face him as the wind caught hold of her hair, playfully twirling her hair. Her white outfit swayed slightly with the wind as she waited for her companion to catch up. Her dainty hands were behind her back as she called Youko to hurray up.

"Come on Youko-chan, I don't know my way back! So could you please hurry up?"

He caught sight of her, and he held his breath. The wind was playing with her hair as she stood there waiting for him, the sunlight manage to hit her in the right angle causing her to have a certain glow the made her appear twice as angelic and beautiful as before. He shook his head to clear his strange thoughts as he walk toward Miyouka. He stopped suddenly when a thought hit him, 'Am I actually falling for her? Nah, that's impossible she's just a friend. Of course, like a little sister I never had, that's all. It's nothing more nothing less.'

"Youko!" her elegant and childish voice ringed through his head.

"Coming," Youko ran toward the impatient girl, and smiled as they walked into the forest together. 'Yup, nothing…then why did I have a sudden urge to wrap my arm around her waist?' he thought, even before he could react or suppress to that urge she leaned her head on his shoulder and cling happily onto his arm.

"Thanks again Youko." She whispered softly as a yawn escape her lips. She clung even tighter as her eyes began to drop.

"Miyouka I think--" He looked down to find Miyouka still clinging on to his arm, and more surprising she had fallen asleep. He sighed and picked her up bridal style once more; he blushed when he saw her snuggling closer for warmth. He started to walk again, 'I'm going to feel this tomorrow.' He thought to himself as his arms started to go unpleasantly numb.

Being the impatient ten years old he is he started to sprint. Once in awhile keeping his speed in check so his passenger wouldn't be disturb in her slumber. As soon as he got back to the Shido Auru clan's housing the first thing he did was he went to Miyouka's and her family's room, finding it open he went to a nearby door knowing it was the young vixen's room. He pushed the door open and walked toward the pale cream bed.

Youko gently placed her down on the overly cushioned bed; he lifted the comforters and placed it securely over her. He brushed away the stray stands of hair that fell upon her face, and smiled. Then Youko bent down and gave her a quick kiss on her forehead.

"Goodnight Miyouka…" He whispered, he got up and went toward the door, he turn back and smiled. Soft amber eyes lingered on her face before he turned back to close the door lightly behind him.

After he shut the door he leaned his back toward the door, and closed his eyes. "And sweet dreams my sleeping beauty."
