Kurama and Yukina were quiet as they walked up the flight of stairs to Genkai's Temple. It was where Yukina usually stayed, but she didn't want to stay there. She wanted to stay with...Kurama. She looked at him, but realized that he had no intention looking back at her or even talk to her. It seemed as if...he hated her. Yukina looked down and slowly stopped walking.

She wanted Kurama.
She wanted to know what Love was, but mostly she wanted him to love her as she would love him. Kurama stopped walking when he noticed that Yukina had stopped half way up the stairs.

He looked down and saw her crying. Kurama then started back down to her. Yukina then felt herself being picked up. She wiped away her tears and looked at Kurama, but looked away. She couldn't even look at him without getting shivers down her spine.

She was truly in love, but what was love? Was Love just hugging and kissing each other? There had to be more to that. Love...Is it the funny feeling that she got whenever she saw Kurama? What exactly is it?

They soon arrived at her gate and Kurama pushed it open by leaning his back towards it. The whole temple was dark. The lights had gone out. It meant that Genkai had already fallen asleep, but in the morning she would know that they came here because of their reiki.

Kurama slid open one of the doors and placed Yukina gently on the floor. He then took out some bed sheets for her. Yukina didn't know what to say to him. After a few moments, Kurama was done and was about to leave when Yukina quickly ran up to him and hugged him. Kurama looked down at her.

"Please don't go..." Yukina said softly, hoping that he would stay with her. He lifted her face up to his and looked into her eyes. Her eyes glistened as tears formed and fell down her cheeks turning into hiruseki stones.

"Yukina...I-"

"Stay with me here...Please..." Yukina said once more.

She didn't want him to go. She wanted to know what Love was. She wanted him.

"I'll stay here then..." Kurama said to her. Yukina smiled.

Kurama wasn't going to let this chance pass by. He summoned all his courage and then slowly leaned in. To his surprise Yukina moved her head at a angle, making easier their lips to meet. Kurama kissed Yukina, but this time he really meant it. Yukina pressed back gently, but soon pulled away and smiled at Kurama.

He felt Yukina shivering and took her inside. Kurama slid closed the door behind him. He then turned around to see Yukina slipping her clothes off. He quickly turned away, feeling himself turn bright red. Yukina looked at Kurama. She walked over to him.

"Isn't this what you want to see...?" Yukina asked.

Kurama turned around to look at her and realized that she only had her undergarments on. He couldn't say anything. He was too...dazed on see how her body looked.

Her slender body looked delicate like a china doll. He had never seen Yukina without her clothes on before. Yukina took his hand and they sat down where Kurama had made a bed for her to sleep in. She then slowly lifted his shirt up. Kurama felt his hand and arm go rigid.

His mind said no, but another part of him had no resistance of what Yukina was doing. He even helped her take off his shirt. Yukina then pushed him to lie down. She followed.

Her skin felt soft and silky. Kurama then ran his hand through her light blue hair and then pulled the covers up on her.

"Kurama..." Kurama looked up towards the ceiling.

"Yea?" He asked, wondering what Yukina wanted to know.

"What is Love?"

Kurama was surprised by her question.

"Love...? It's um..." Kurama didn't know how to respond to her.

"Is it hugging and kissing?" Yukina asked once more.

"That's part of it. Everyone has their own different meaning of love..." Kurama said, choosing his words carefully.

"What's your meaning of love then?" Kurama couldn't answer.

"What is my meaning of love...?" Kurama wondered to himself. "Yukina is difinitly smarter then we think she is..." Kurama thought.

"Love is a passion. It's devotion. It's what you feel when you've grown fond of someone and this feeling only comes to you when you see or think of that person." Kurama said, once again choosing his words carefully.

"A feeling that I feel when I see or think about the person I love?" Yukina asked.

"Yes. A special feeling only for that person."

"I feel that sensation when I see and think about you." Yukina said him softly. Kurama's emerald eyes grew wide. "If I feel that then..."

"Then what?" Kurama asked, wondering why she stopped in her sentence half way. "Does it mean that I love you...?" Yukina asked as she slowly closed her eyes drifting off to sleep. Kurama looked at her and noticed that her eyes were closed. She had fallen asleep. Kurama thought back to her question.

"Does it mean that I love you?"

He didn't know what to say or think. Love has a lot of meanings. So many, that many have even forgotten what true love is. Yukina has this sensation when she thinks or sees Kurama.

"What are my feelings for her?" Kurama asked to himself softly. "What does it mean to be loved? What is Love?" Kurama asked himself again.

"Come'on! Think about how you feel. My feelings for her..." Kurama said softly, scolding at himself for not knowing how he felt for Yukina. Kurama looked out the window, seeing the moon. He then turned his attention back to Yukina.

"I'm sorry Yukina..."
