Chapter Nine

It had been four days now since she'd first seen her youkai. Long gold streaked silver hair that blew in the wind like sheets of silk, beautiful sapphire eyes that were so emotionless yet full of emotion; whenever he looked at her she saw something that she could not describe. She could almost feel his emotions. His skin looked so smooth; how she longed to touch it and those lips; how she longed to kiss them.

She sighed as she continued to stare out the window and day dream about her youkai. His voice was a smooth baritone that could melt the heart of any damsel. She sighed dreamily again and closed her eyes and saw him. He was so handsome. No. Gorgeous! Someone that looked like him could not be of this earth.

Her youkai was so amazing.

That was the third time she called him HER youkai. Since when was he hers? She had no claim on him, but...she didn't know what to call him since she his name was a mystery to her. She would always say 'Okay today I'll get his name.', but once she saw him she got shy and forgot to ask. Stupid girl, she scolded herself.

Just because he gave her butterflies and weak knees, sweaty palms and made her heart pound in her chest and she day dreamed about him every second of the day didn't mean anything. Or did it? Could this be what she was longing for? What her heart craved? All the signs were there. It had to be; not even Yosuke made her feel like this . If it was what she wanted for so long then what was she to do?

Could she be....in love?

*oOo*

Thor laid in his bed, thinking of his Raine. Her eyes were such a beautiful grey, her skin was the smoothest olive and he loved the way her hair blew in the wind. She would make the perfect mate for him, if she wasn't already with someone. Maybe this was what fluffyouiki meant by "a great sorrow" when he encountered her; he just knew it would be something of this nature.

He rolled over on his back and stared at the ceiling. This wasn't so great. She could have just told him he'd get depressed in the future. Why make it so dramatic? Maybe because this probably wasn't the great sorrowhe had been anticipating. That would be good.

Thor was in such deep thought that he didn't even hear or smell her coming his way, he only noticed when she knocked. "Come in." He said. The door slid open to reveal his mother, Lady Mika of the Western Lands and heiress to the Southern Lands, standing in his doorway.

She walked over to his bed and sat next to him. "Is something wrong sweetie?" She asked.

Sweetie? Wasn't he too old for that? "No, nothing." He replied.

"Don't lie to me Thor." She said sternly. Ever since he returned home he left for the forest every evening and came back with his scent hidden and after a long two hour bath in the hot springs he'd go to his room smelling like himself. Something was up.

"It's nothing I want to talk about." He said.

"Well when you're ready-"

"I know; you'll be here." He cut in.

She smiled and kissed his forehead before leaving. He listened until her footsteps faded and he could no longer hear them.

He wished that one day he could have the sort of relationship his parents had with Raine.

*oOo*

Mika sat infront of the mirror, smiling. She took the chopsticks from her hair to free it from it's bun and it tumbled down her back in a river of gold. Her pups were growing up right before her eyes and it felt like just yesterday that they were fighting with Rin over something or the other. She sighed as she moved from the mirror and climbed into bed next to her Sesshomaru; the moment she laid down next to him he wrapped his arms arounud her waist and pulled her closer to him.

" They grow up so fast." She said.

Sesshomaru nuzzled her neck "Who?" He asked.

Mika turned on her other side to face him "Shiaka, Malique, Thor. They've all grown up." She said as she looked into his amber eyes.

Sesshomaru raised a brow. "What, may I ask, has put you in this mood?" He asked.

Mika sighed, smiled and closed her eyes. She rested her head on her mate's chest and he held her tighter. "Are you alright?" Was all he had to say before the tears started falling from her eyes.

"Our eldest is in love." She said.

" So why are you crying? You should be happy for him." Sesshomaru said.

"I'm happy for him but I just realized," She sniffled "Our babies aren't babies anymore. They'll grow up, find mates and start families of their own. I just wish that they could stay five years old forever." She said.

He rubbed her back in small soothing circles and tilted her head upward to look into her emerald/sapphire eyes. "When they leave to find their mates we'll have the palace to ourselves." He said with a sly smile.

She smiled and said: "So why not now."

Sesshomaru raised a brow.

*oOo*

Raine slid out of bed slowly and quietly; careful not to wake Yosuke. She explained to her youkai at their last meeting that it would be harder to visit so frequently during the day and having to explain to her husband why she went into the forest so often so sneaking out at night would be easier.

She slid open the shoji door and slipped outside quietly. She made sure no one was looking before running out of the village and into the forest.

As she ran to the clearing where they always met. she looked back occaionally to make sure she wasn't being followed. Before, meeting him seemed innocent and she didn't care if she was being followed, but today, when she realized that she was in love with him she knew she couldn't be seen because she wanted to start a relationship with him even though it was wrong, but for once in her life, since her mother died, she actually loved someone and that was impotant to her.

Raine stopped in the clearing, panting. "Senpai?" She yelled.

She waited for a response but it didn't seem like he was there yet. She stood there waiting for him when she heard the rustling of leaves. She gasped as fear and panic struck her. Maybe she was followed and now they were trying to get a better look at who she was meeting, she thought.

After a long moment it was quiet and she figured that it was just her imagination and started claming down.

"Konnichiwa."

"Eek." She jumped and turned around to see her youkai standing behind her. She out her hand over her heart as she waited for it to beat at a slower pace.

"Gomen," Thor said when he realized he scared her. "Why do you refer to me as 'senpai'?" He asked.

She took a deep breath ."I do not know your name." She said.

"My name is Thor. Come, I have a surprise for you." He said.

*oOo*

Raine nodded in agreement. He was happy she did and he hoped she would like it. He had found it after they met they last time and decided he's use it for the next visit. It was secluded and would give them some privacy. He didn't know if she saw his as more than a friend or wanted to be more than friends, but she did know she felt the same way about him as he felt about her...and that she was with someone.

He shook away the thought. This would show him what she wanted.

Thor scooped her into his arms and he could hear her heart pounding as her cheeks turned crimson red. He smiled ; she would like it. He pushed off and ran throught the forest.

Raine felt so good in his arms. She closed her eyes and relaxed. He was so warm and her head felt so good on his shoulder. She wrapped her arms around his neck; his skin was so wonderfully smooth. She opened her eyes and looked over his shoulder and saw that silver hair that she wanted to touch for the longest time. It looked so silky.

"We're here." He said as he stopped.

She looked around and got confused; it was a natural hot spring that was steaming and created a light mist on the ground. Thor put her on her feet and waited for her to respond.

"Umm..."She said.

"Don't you want to go in?" He asked.

Now she understood. She'd love to have a nice long soak, but what about Thor? Did he expect to get in with her? She turned to him. He motioned for her to get in. Well she did want him to get in with her, but she was too shy to ask. If only she could be bolder.

Thor watched her as she thought. Maybe taking her here was a bad idea after all. Perhaps they could just talk like they always did; he didn't mind it though, he was just disappointed; he really hoped she'd like it.

"If you-" He started.

"Would you like to join me?" She asked. He could hear her nervousness in her voice.

He was taken aback by her question, but nodded anyway. She shyly took his hands in hers and led him to the pool of warm water. She took the comb from her hair and laid it on a boulder. He knew what was coming next and his heart raced.

Her hands went to her kimono and he found that he could not look away as his cheeks turned red. Each second his cheeks grew redder and his heart beat faster as more of her body was exposed to him. He noticed that she was just as nervous as he was and was somewhat comforted by that fact. The kimono dropped to her ankles and his eyes grew wide.

He had never seen a woman naked before, not even his sister. Her skin lookd so smooth, her breasts were perfectly round mounds of flesh with caramel tips and. She turned to step into the water and he wasn't the least bit disappointed by her backside. She sat in the pool and looked towards him; it was his turn.

Raine watched as he took off his clothes and her heart pounded as she waited. When he took of his haori her mouth fell open. He was perfectly ripped and toned. He had no hair on his chest and bulgging muscles. 'Oh hell yes.' She thought. When he moved to take off his hakama she held down her head; she wasn't ready to see that much of him.

The water rippled as he stepped in and sat infront of her. She held up her head and her cheeks were burning red. She moved closer to Thor and he gasped; he wasn't expecting that. She stood still for a moment and moved closer. The closer she got the more uncomfortabe he became.

Was she going to try to kiss him? He wasn't ready for that. His eyes grew wide as her grey orbs locked with his and their faces were only an inch apart. Then he felt her fingers on his ears. So that was her plan.

She scratched behind his ears and he relaxed and started purring. Soon his foot started twitching and his tongue was out as he panted; he shared his father's weakness.

Raine started laughing uncontrolably. It was so cute that he was acting this way. His leg was twitching so much that now he was splashing her with water. She decided he had enough and stopped.

Thor blushed and apologized. She smiled for a few seconds and stared into his eyes. This time his heart didn't race. She cupped his cheek and looked at his lips. She leaned in slowly and stopped; uncertainty. Thor leaned in and closed the gap between their lips.

She bit his bottom lip and the second he opened his mouth she slipped her tongue inside his mouth. As the kiss deepened Thor wrapped his arms around her and pulled her into him and their bodies fit as if they were made for each other.

'My first kiss.' They thought.
