~~~~ End Author Note ~~~~

Almost a week later I was released from the hospital from my temptaint injury. Jamie didn't want to push using my barrier for the time being so I could rest. But I didn't want to rest in my bed like my sister told me to. I wanted to go for a jog because all that was clouding my mind was school work, this angel business and then Yukio. So it wasn't all bad. Yukio came to mind the most. Naturally I have become attracted to him-more than what I did from the start. But he's been so nice to me, helping me with homework for both regular classes and cram school when he wasn't busy. He really was an excellent teacher and I'm positive he would go far. What if he and I got together, what would happen to him teaching? What about the whole demon and angel thing? I wondered longer on the subject of what our children would look like. I growled and threw the blankets off of me. Laying around was doing nothing for me and Yukio already helped me finish my homework. So there was nothing to do other than go walk or something. I put on some stretchy work out pants that came just below my knee and a tank top with thicker straps. I walked down the hall and knocked on the brother's door. Rin turned around looking happy for a distraction from his homework.

"What's up Alexa?" He greeted me.

"Not much." I looked around the room, "Where's Yukio?"

"He got sent out on a mission. He snuck out without me, so I'm stuck doing homework." Rin grumbled.

I laughed. "I was headed out for a run. Want to go?"

"Shouldn't you be resting?" Rin asked looking a little concerned.

"Yeah but I'm tired of resting. Come on. I'll try helping you get your homework done." Rin perked up at what I said.

"Let me get changed" Rin said jumping up.

"Sure" I said shutting the door behind me. I tucked hair behind my ear. "Rin. I'm going to tie my hair up" I yelled through the door.

"Ok" I heard him yell.

I went to my room and brushed it all back. It felt instantly cooler on my neck with my hair up. I looked at myself in the mirror. My hair was to the middle of my back still even though it was pulled up. I should get my hair cut. It needed it. Rin knocked on my door.

"Ready?" He asked.

"Yeah" I smiled at him.

"So where do you want to go?" Rin asked when we got outside.

I started to just jog in some direction "Lets just go for 20 mins one way and then come back. I figured that amount of time would be sufficient for a break."

"Sounds good" Rin said catching up to me.

I watched him adjust the strap to his sword so he could move comfortably with it. "You ever use that thing?" I asked pointing to his back.

"Just when I need to. It's more of a family heirloom" He said laughing. "So how to you feel about Yukio?" He asked after a short silence.

"What?" I stumbled over the question and then tripped over my feet as I looked at him. I tripped forward and pushed my hand off the ground to steady myself not loosing my pace. "Ouch" I said rubbing my wrist.

"You ok?" Rin asked slowing down but I didn't slow down I just kept going.

"Yeah I'm sure I'll be fine. Nothing is wrong with my legs silly." I waved him to keep up with me.

"So judging by your reaction you must feel something for Yukio" Rin said with the biggest smile staring at me.

Oh how I wished I had my hair down to hide my face. "Your question just surprised me is all" I said staring straight ahead.

"Riiiigght" Rin said starting to laugh. "So now that it's not a surprise how do you feel about him?"

"Uhh… Well.. He's… Nice. Really smart-a great teacher. And… and a hard worker." I hoped being vague worked.

"So you like him."

"Sure."

"No I mean like him. Like… Like like him."

"Rin why are we talking about this?" I asked looking away from him because I felt my face flare up.

"Because Yukio is totally crushing on you" Rin said and I looked at him. And then watched him as he passed me. He came to a stop after hopping on one leg a couple of times. I stood there with my mouth hung open and my eyes wide. I heard a series of gun fire to my right that took me out of my trance. "What was that?" Rin asked after we heard a growl. He looked at me and then ran ahead of me.

"RIN!" I yelled running after him. I ran full speed trying to catch up to him. "Rin, slow down!" Rin did after a few more yells. "Should we really be running towards this? It sounds like someone has this covered." I said hearing more gun fire that sounded much closer than last time.

I saw a large leopard turn the corner and head towards us. Something flashed in it's eyes and a puff of smoke enveloped the beast. A small boy who looked around the age of 5 was running towards us now, a leopard's tail swishing behind the boy now. "MOM!" The demon child yelled still running towards us. I looked at Rin who just shrugged. I was knocked back a few steps as the child ran into me. "Mom! Save me!" I knelt down with the little boy and noticed he had short golden hair. A little dark than mine.

"Oh I'm not your mo-"

"You have to be! You have the same eyes." He said looking at me. His eyes were also similar to mine.

"I'm too young to have kids" I laughed.

"Rin! Alexandra! Get away from that demon!" I heard a familiar voice. I looked towards the voice and footsteps coming near us. It was Yukio and Shura. Shura was the one that yelled. The little boy clung onto me tighter and I put a hand on the back of his neck. Rin, the boy and I were surrounded by exorcists.

"What's going on?" Rin asked.

"This demon has been causing mischief all over town and is to be exorcised." Shura said leaning on her sword. I gave her a confused look. "It always starts out with mischief but if we don't put a stop to it things will get worse."

"Don't let them take me Mom." The little boy said clinging onto me tighter and getting closer. Knocking me over.

I sighed laying on the ground on my back now. What should I do? They were going to kill this poor thing. But…it was a demon. I rolled to the side and got the boy off of me. I got comfortable kneeling again as the boy held onto my shirt. I put my hand on his shoulder and made him look at me. "What's your name?"

"It's a type of cat sith we believe" Yukio said.

"Like Kuro?" Rin asked.

"Stronger than Kuro. It possesses larger cats and it can also take the form of a human as well for short amounts of time." Yukio answered.

This poor thing… Feared because it has some sort of power. I pushed the little boy away from me to look at him. He held on tighter to my tank top. "I'm not your mom but I would like to help you. I have away we can help each other out." The little boy looked at me with wide hopeful eyes as he sniffled. "Would you like to be my familiar?" I asked.

"He's too-" Shura tried to protest but Rin put his hand up towards her, still watching the little boy and I.

The little boy smiled at me. "Can I call you mom?"

I sighed, still smiling. "Why do you wish to call me mom?"

"I lost mine and you look just like her" My heart broke at how sad he looked.

"How about we make a deal. You be my familiar and I'll take care of you." The boy looked like he was going to say something, I held up my hand to silence him. "I'll call you Alejo. And you can call me Mom until we find your real mom" I asked with a smile

"Really?" He asked excitedly I saw his tail swishing back and forth. "I'll do it. Mom."

I ruffled the short hair on his head and smiled "It's a deal then Alejo." Alejo gave me a hug. I smiled at Rin and he smiled back. Behind him Shura and Yukio looked at each other and nodded.

"Alright. This mission is done. Lets report in." Shura said waving for the rest of the exorcists to leave. "Good job kid" Shura said to me. Then she turned to Rin, "You idiot. You always run towards the danger and this time you got just a page mixed up in this."

"And Rin shouldn't you be working on homework?" Yukio asked.

I laughed still holding on to Alejo who was watching over my shoulder curiously. I watched for a little as Rin tried to explain. "Everything turned out alright" I said smiling towards everyone "I'm glad I was here."

"Well no matter. You two better get back to your dorm before it gets darker out" Shura said sheathing her sword in her chest.

"Right" I said pushing off the ground. "Ouch" I said holding my wrist and then laughed nervously "I fell earlier and tried catching myself."

Yukio stepped between Shura and Rin and gently took my hand and felt the wrist. "I think you just pulled something. It doesn't look sprained or broken. I'll wrap it really quick." He said as he got out a bandage and began going around my wrist and around my thumb.

"Thanks" I said as I flexed my fingers.

"No problem. Try not to use your hand too much." He said with that gorgeous smile. I smiled back at him.

"You and Rin. And Alejo better go." Shura said. "Yukio and I need to report this."

"Right." I said looking down at Alejo. "Lets go to your new home."

"Yay!" Alejo said and then a poof of smoke was seen and he was in his true form. A leopard with small easily unnoticeable horns above the eyes and the size of a small dog. "Is this ok Mom?" I heard Alejo's voice ask, but it sounded distant and echoed.

"You are so cute!" I exclaimed petting him over and over. I heard Rin chuckle. I looked at Rin and Yukio turned and started walking away.

"You better get that homework done Rin" Yukio said over his shoulder. Shura turned and followed Yukio. I stood and started to jog the way that Rin and I came and headed back to the dorm.

"Man Yukio was so jealous of you petting Alejo" Rin said when he caught up to Alejo and I.

"No he wasn't" I said doubtful.

"The one with the guns was jealous." I heard Alejo say.

"And how do you know?" I asked as I ignored Rin's laughter

"He glared at me. He has a scary face" I laughed I couldn't imagine Yukio glare. He was always so nice around me.

"Sure" I said through laughter. It was silent the rest of the way to the dorm except for our breathing. We all walked to my room. I opened the door, "Welcome home." Alejo ran and jumped on my bed. He looked happy. "Alright. Some rules. I go to school all day and I expect you to be good. No fights and certainly no mischief. I would prefer if you stayed in the dorm building but if you promise to stay out of everyone's way you may leave."

"Ok Mom!" He said as he looked all around my room.

"I have to help Rin with his homework." I turned towards Rin, "We should eat in the dinning hall. We didn't eat anything yet."

"I'm hungry" Alejo whined.

"I guess its decided" Rin said laughing.

I was surprised for a second that Rin heard Alejo. I forget sometimes that he is a demon still. Yukio and Rin were really nice. Rin got his homework and brought it down stairs. I helped him with it, hoping he understood it. And then we ate. Kuro joined us as well. Alejo and Kuro seemed to be getting along. I couldn't hear what Kuro said since he wasn't my familiar and I was not a demon. Alejo was twice the size of Kuro.

"So Rin. Who do you like?" I asked him.

"I don't like anyone." He said stubbornly.

"Come on. You are totally crushing on Sheimi." I teased him. He blushed a deep red. "I knew it." I tried to look like I was thinking. "Maybe I should talk to her and let her know how you feel… I wonder what she'd say."

"You wouldn't."

"If I were you I'd tell before I told her." I said with a grin.

"If you tell her I'll tell-oh hey Yukio." Rin said with a huge smile.

I turned around already feeling the heat on my face. "Hello Yukio" I greeted him.

Yukio smiled and sat in his spot beside me. He began eating.

"You should join the familiar club." Rin said as a joke. "Alexandra and I are the cool ones out of this table." We all laughed.

I yawned. "I'll see you guys tomorrow. I'm going to go clean up and go to bed."

"I want to come!" Alejo said jumping next to me and nuzzling my leg.

"Uhh… how about you hang out with the guys until I'm done bathing." I said

"But mom." Alejo whinned.

"No. I'm a girl and you're a boy. See if they will shower with you." I smiled at the boys before running off. I got a quick shower and went to retrieve Alejo. Everyone was in Rin and Yukio's room. "Ready for bed Alejo?" I called from the door. He made a sound of excitement and rubbed on my legs. I giggled then looked at Yukio "How did your report go?"

"Fine. Can I talk to you for a minute?" Yukio said getting up.

"Sure" I said and pointed to Rin for Alejo to go to. Yukio led the way until we were in my room. I had butterflies wondering what he wanted to talk about.

"It's about Alejo's mother. She was sent back to Gehenna." Yukio said looking serious

"Ok lets just send Alejo to Gehenna." I said happily.

"You can't unless you exorcise him or open a Gehenna gate. At least that's what I know"

"Oh.. Well what do we do?"

"I'm trying to figure it out. I'm going to talk to Mephisto about it when he isn't busy."

"Well I guess for now I'm a mom" I laughed

"Yeah I guess so" Yukio said looking away.

"Mom!" Alejo yelled running towards us.

I knelt down and saw Rin and Kuro running behind him. Alejo tapped me and ran away "You're it" he yelled.

"What?" I asked confused "It's bed time!" I yelled in his direction.

Alejo stopped in his tracks and put his head down. "Can we play tomorrow?"

I smiled and picked him up. He was heavy so I set him back down, "Sure. But now it's time to sleep." I said petting him and walking to my room. "Night everyone." I heard a meow and both Rin and Yukio say goodnight. I got in bed and Alejo jumped in bed and cuddled next to me. I covered both of us up and held him close. I promised I would take care of him and I intend to keep that promise until we can figure out how to get him back to his mother.

I awoke to someone yelling.

"Ow ow." I opened my eyes and felt Alejo move. Rin was shaking his hand.

"Rin what are you doing in my room?" I asked rubbing my eyes.

"I wanted to see if you both were ready to play tag. Plus its already noon."

"Noon? Oh man… I'm so behind on homework."

"That's all you and Yukio do. Work work work. You two are perfect for each other." Rin said crossing his arm and then wincing and rubbed his hand.

"What happened to your hand?" I asked.

"I tried to wake up Alejo but I think you have your barrier up."

"It's around him…" I said looking at Alejo who still was sleeping peacefully.

"Yeah. I'll go get Yukio." Rin said as he left.

Rin came back with Yukio who already knew what was going on. Yukio reached his hand out for Alejo and then withdrew it quickly.

"Should I try to let it down?" I asked

"Yeah" Yukio said.

I concentrated and forced the barrier down. I crawled out of bed and away from everyone and then let my concentration go. "Is it up still? I don't know."

Yukio pet Alejo successfully and he stirred under Yukio's touch. Yukio then walked over to me and I held out my hand. Yukio successfully touched my hand. "Try to put your barrier around both of us."

I closed my eyes and concentrated around myself and imagined it going around Yukio's body as well. Teal eyes greeted mine when I opened my eyes and I nodded. Yukio waved Rin over and tried to touch Yukio. Rin quickly withdrew his hand saying a series of ows. I felt really tired I let the barrier fall as I fell to my knees with a thump. Yukio and Rin were quick to my side. "I'm fine. Just really tired. How did it feel?"

"I felt a vibration as the barrier went around me. Are you alright?" Yukio said looking really concerned. I nodded. "Lets get you to your bed" Yukio said as he picked me up. I was so tired I couldn't even blush. Once I was in bed he covered Alejo and I. "Get some rest. I'll tell Jamie what happened."

"Thanks Yukio." I said tiredly and quickly passed out.

Jamie was happy to hear that I had my barrier up and I could put it around others. Not so happy to hear that I had to focus on it right now. Alejo wasn't happy to find out that I had to practice as soon as I got home from school everyday. He didn't like helping me with it, but he did. Yukio kept trying to talk to Mephisto and after a week he was able to set an appointment for him to see Mephisto. I took Alejo with me when I went with Yukio to see Mephisto.

"You can do that?" I asked surprised looking at Mephisto after he said that he could send Alejo to his mother. Who was actually worried and looking for Alejo.

"Yes I can" He said looking very serious.

"Will I ever see you again?" Alejo asked looking at me.

"I… uhh.." I didn't know what to say.

"Since you are tamer and familiar all you need is a magic circle and blood to summon him back from Gehenna." Mephiso said and then continued, sounding more happy, "You will be learning about it in your class tomorrow. Best pick out a phrase to call him too."

"How about 'Alejo I command you to come forth and clear my path'?" I asked looking at Alejo who nodded happily.

"Then it's settled. Alejo will be sent back to Gehenna and come to you with that phrase" Mephisto said dramatically.

"I'll see you tomorrow. I promise" I said petting him one last time before leaving with Yukio.

"Bye mom!" Alejo yelled before I got out of the office. I waved to him before Yukio shut the door.

Yukio looked like he was about to say something but then his phone rang. "Okumura speaking. Yes. Alright I'll be right there." And he hung up. He smiled at me, "I have to go. Will you be fine walking back to the dorm by yourself?" Yukio asked looking very conflicted.

I smiled. "I'll be fine. Go Yukio. I'll see you later." He nodded and I finished the walk home by myself. I kept my guard up the entire time. It was lonely when I got to the dorm. I walked around looking for RIn and found him on the roof. "Hey Rin."

"Hey. Where's Yukio" He said looking behind me.

"He got called." Rin groaned. "What?" I laughed

"Did he tell you yet?"

"I don't believe he told me anything."

"Nothing. Never mind."

"Tell me Rin." I gave him my best pouty face, "Pweety pwease?"

"No I'll ruin it. I probably ruined it already." Rin said grumbling. He seemed really mad at himself.

"Alright." I said dropping it. Although I was really curious about Yukio had to say. I guess it would have to wait. "I'm going to go to sleep I think I'm tired."

"Me too." Rin said getting up.

I went to my room and tried to sleep but I just couldn't. I missed having Alejo next to me already. I only had him for 2 weeks or so. I looked at the clock its been an hour and a half since I laid down and tried going to sleep. I got up and knocked on Yukio and Rin's door.

"Come in." Yukio said.

I opened the door to see Yukio at his desk cleaning up. "Homework?" I asked.

"Yeah. My mission took a while and I needed to get this done." He said putting his stuff in the bag and then turned towards me. "Why are you up so late?" He gave me one of those heart melting smiles.

"I uh…"

"Miss Alejo?" He asked

"Yeah… I can't sleep. I was hoping I could sleep in here with you guys for the night." Nervousness hit me as soon as I finished that sentence. "I'd summon Alejo but I want him to spend time with his mother." I looked awkwardly at the floor.

"I guess there's no harm in one night." I heard Yukio say. He sounded confident but when I looked at him there was discomfort written on his face. I wanted to laugh at how silly we must look.

"I'll go get my things and sleep on the floor." I said breaking the silence.

"Don't." Yukio said holding his hand out. Surprise took his features for a second and he went back to looking calm. "I'll sleep on the floor." He said

"We could sleep together?" I suggested.

"Sure" He agreed. He made his bed and we both stood awkwardly. "You sleep near the wall so you don't have to worry about falling off."

"Ok" I said as I crawled in his bed and got against the wall under the covers. Yukio crawled in and laid facing me after turning off the lights. We stared at each other for a long time. "Yukio." He hummed in response. "You have very nice eyes. I always meant to tell you sooner."

"Thanks." He mumbled. I could hear the embarrassment in his voice and I laughed a little.

Silence enveloped the room again as we stared at each other.

"Alexandra."

"Yeah."

"Your very beautiful."

I smiled, probably too big. "Thanks Yukio."

A strand of hair fell in my face a little, Yukio moved it out of my way. "I wanted to tell you that the first day I saw you." He said getting closer to me, making my heart race.

"Oh" I whispered as I slowly closed my eyes and moved forward slowly. Our lips touched and it felt amazing. I kept the arm I was laying on close to me as I let the other one extend and grab a hold of his shirt. My hand met with a firm chest. I slightly moaned thinking about what it must look like. I moved my lips against his slowly. Opening our mouth little by little. I felt Yukio lick my lip and my tongue met his. I felt like I was on fire due to the sensation. Yukio gently massaged my tongue with his making me moan quietly. I heard him growl lowly and felt him start to move on top of me. I moved away from the wall so I could lay on my back. Yukio followed me without breaking the kiss. Yukio was now over top of me on his elbows and knees. He tangled one hand in my hair while the other slowly went down my arm to my elbow, which was now bent so I could run my hand along his torso-my other hand in his hair. His hand didn't stop at my elbow, it went down my side and stopped at my hip sending waves of electricity up my spine. I moaned again and he growled. This time his growl sounded deeper.

Yukio pulled away slightly but didn't stop kissing me. His kisses trailed to my neck as he asked "Will you be mine?" He nipped and sucked lightly in different spots earning different sounds from me.

"Yes" I said. His canines dragged against my skin. "Please bite me." I quietly whispered feeling desperate for more of something.

I heard him growl low again. "You don't know what you're asking" He said and stopped. He kissed me on the lips gently compared to the end of our first kiss. "We should go to sleep" He said laying beside me.

"Right." I sighed getting back on my side. I tucked my hands under the pillow for more support keeping my elbows close to me. "Goodnight."

Yukio got close to me, placing his hand on my hip and his forehead close to mine. "Goodnight" he sighed closing his eyes. I closed my eyes as well and let sleep take me, happy with my new title of girlfriend.

I awoke to soft kisses on my forehead and cheeks. I smiled and threw and arm over Yukio and got closer to him. "Good morning Beautiful" He said quietly in my ear as his arm tightened around me.

"Good morning" I mumbled in his chest. "Can we stay like this all day?" I asked finally looking up at him.

He kissed me. I felt him growl and deepen the kiss, which I returned. He pulled away before we got carried away. "Unfortunately no." He looked upset about something.

"Something wrong?" I asked cupping his cheek in my hand.

"Nothing is wrong. It's just that all PDA is no allowed when we are both associated with the cram school."

"Since you are a teacher and I'm a student?"

"Yes" he said and rewarded me with a short kiss. "Mephisto said that the less people that know the better."

"I understand" I said and was rewarded with another kiss.

"You should go get ready for class. I'm going to get ready and try waking up Rin."

"Lucky you" I laughed as I crawled out of bed after Yukio. I ran my fingers through my hair that was tangled in some spots and not in others. Yukio ran his fingers through and area of my hair that wasn't tangled. "Were you up all night playing with my hair?" I asked joking.

"Not all night." Yukio said smiling.

I laughed at him a little. I pulled him down to me and kissed him. I felt him wrap his arms around me and I moved closer to him. I pulled away and said "I better go get ready." Yukio nodded and let me go.

My regular classes were so hard because I could only think of Yukio. Especially the ones where he sat in front of me. I wanted to hold his hand when we walked to our next class but I knew it would be better to keep our relationship a secret for a little. I know everyone will find out sooner or later…

It was the taming class now.

"First timers will go first." Shura announced. Not many people were able to do it. I went last out of the first timers and called Alejo.

"Alejo I command you to come forth and clear my path" I said as confident as I could muster. He appeared in his small form. He rubbed against me and I smiled

Shura nodded. "Now everyone try again. But summon a different demon." She was looking right at me.

I looked away from her and thought of my next phrase. "Guide my hand and thought." A reaper appeared in front of me. And Alejo growled. A few people gasped around behind me. I heard a girl scream as the reaper leaped forward "STOP!" I yelled out of fear. I watched as Shura yelled something as she got her sword out. "I command you to stop!" I yelled frustrated and angry. The reaper stopped right before reaching the girl. I sighed. Then the reaper looked at me. I tried to remain calm, knowing that it was reading my mind now. I got ready to rip the paper just incase I lost my cool. The reaper looked into someone else's mind. I heard the reaper's voice relay what everyone was thinking. They were all terrified. Even Shura was a little worried about the situation.

What is she? How did she summon a reaper? I'm so scared. Better not mess with her. She's hot. Isn't that girl in the top 5? This can't be good.

All thoughts from everyone.

"Everyone destroy your summoning circles" Shura said calmly. Everyone did as asked and Shura sighed. "Good job everyone."

"Good job? Her familiar attacked me." The girl who got attacked by the reaper yelled.

"She was able to control it in time and I was here so no worries." Shura laughed it off. And then the bell rang. I got my things and left quickly.

"Alexa" Rin called me. I heard him running. "Hey You did good."

"My summon almost killed someone" I said choking back a sob.

"Hey you are alright. No one got hurt." Rin said patting my shoulder.

I didn't say anything, just kept walking.

"Alexandra, Rin." Yukio called.

I wiped my tears that escaped. I didn't look at him but I felt him staring at me.

"How did summoning go today?" Yukio asked.

Rin spoke up happily "Alexandra did great she was able to summon Alejo and a reaper."

"Don't sound so happy about it Rin… It almost hurt someone" I said still looking down

"Are you ok Alexandra?" Yukio asked making me look at him.

Seeing him looking so concerned made me feel happy but I felt more tears being produced. Yukio cupped my check and wiped a tear away with his thumb.

"So you two finally confessed your feelings?" Rin asked looking happy, pointing at Yukio and I.

"You told her?" Yukio asked looking surprised.

"Well yeah. I just wanted to help my little brother get his first girlfriend." Rin laughed starting to walk away.

Yukio sighed and grabbed my hand. I gave him a questionable look. "Everyone is going to find out sooner or later now that we blew our cover in front of Rin." He smiled at me as we began to walk, "How was Alejo?"

"Oh. Fine. He was happy to see me. I didn't get a chance to talk to him yet."

"Going to summon him tonight?"

I blushed and looked away from him, "I was hoping I could sleep with you again tonight" I mumbled.

"So long I don't get called on a mission" Yukio smiled.

My night routine went as usual. I did my homework with Yukio during dinner. I got ready for bed after eating. My sister decided not to come so I sat in my room for an hour talking to my sister about Yukio. She was happy I was happy… just wished my first boyfriend wasn't a demon.

"Had he tried biting you yet?" I heard her ask laughing.

"No why?"

"Demon's naturally want to mark their mates by biting their necks. It shows that the significant other is taken and other's can't have you."

"Oh." I said quietly.

"Do you want him to bite you?"

"What? No." I tried lying.

"I better not see any marks on your neck." Jamie said sternly, but I could hear the smile in her voice.

I laughed. "What ever Jam. Well I'm going to go to bed."

"Alright. Just let him know a talking to is coming from me. Night kido."

"Love you night." I hung up the phone. I walked down the hall to Yukio's room. I knocked and heard Yukio invite me in. Rin was sleeping already. "He sleeps a lot" I laughed.

Yukio came to me and held me close, "Yes he does" He sighed in my ear. I looked up into his beautiful eyes that slowly closed as he leaned down. Our lips connected. Both of Yukio's hands cupped my face. I pushed him towards the bed after a little while. Yukio sat down on the bed and I went to shut the lights off. I crawled over him and laid down. Yukio placed a kiss on my forehead. "I wanted to kiss you all day." He said and I smiled at him, he continued, "I told Rin to tell anyone that is outside of our close friends."

"Sounds good" I yawned. "I told my sister about us." Yukio looked worried. "She's happy I'm happy and said if you ruin it she's going to have a long talk with you."

"I'm not going to ruin it" Yukio said put my hair behind my ear.

"I didn't keep you up last night did I?" I asked worried.

"No. I only sleep for a few hours on average. I think you actually gave me an extra hour" he said with a smile.

"Ok. If you ever don't want me to sleep with you. Don't let me-"

"You'll be fine" Yukio said kissing me. The kiss deepened. He pulled me close and I held onto his shirt. He moved towards my neck and I gave him access to my whole neck. I heard a growl from him like last night. He sucked on one spot for a little and I felt his canines graze against my skin. I moaned and he growled after. "You are making this so hard" He said against my skin.

"What?" I gasped as he gave attention to a new spot on my neck.

"Not to mark you."

I likely blushed multiple shades of red. "My sister told me about that on the phone" I whispered so I didn't wake Rin. Not that it mattered. I moaned louder than how we talked. "Is it something that just happens naturally?"

Yukio trailed his kisses to my lips. "Yes" he said between kisses and then pulled away "The stronger the demon feels about their potential mate the more likely a marking will take place."

"I see…" I said in thought as I ran my fingers through his hair.

"It also establishes a link between the mates. Or that's the rumor anyway."

"How?"
