InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ Waking The Demon ❯ Chapter 08 ( Chapter 8 )

“K-Kagome?” he asked, his raspy voice laced with surprise.

Kagome stared at the bat demon in front of her with wide eyes, almost believing that he wasn't real. He made a step closer to her, one by one before he was only inches away from her.

His hand raised and slipped through her silky hair before his arms went around her waist and he crushed her body to his tightly. “Kuronue…” she whispered softly, her voice thick with emotion that she could no longer hide. His embrace tightened and she welcomed it, enjoying the feeling of his body against hers and the feeling of him holding her so close and tight.

“I've missed you so much,” she whispered just as softly as before, biting her lip to keep from shedding any tears. “I have missed you too,” he whispered into her ear, burying his nose into her neck and taking her scent in with deep breaths.

With Kurama:

`Yoko, you've been uncharacteristically silent since our encounter with Kagome, are you okay?' Not that Kurama minded the silence but he had a feeling the spirit fox had been affected by what happened in the hallway.

`I'm fine Red, but…I do recognize a new scent that I haven't sensed for a long time…' the fox trailed off, ears twitching and nose gently scenting the air. `Go to Kagome's room now…I have to see if I'm not imagining this scent' Yoko ordered.

“I'll be back gentlemen, something has come to Yoko's attention and he wants to check it out,” Kurama informed his teammates as he stood and left, heading to Kagome's room.

With Kuronue and Kagome:

The bat looked down at the female in his arms, his violet eyes peering into the icy blue hues of the demon he had traveled with 5 centuries ago and captured his heart so easily.

“I'm so happy to have you back, when I heard of your death…I was shattered, we were close back then and god I hate myself for not being in touch with you,” she whispered, he put a finger on her lips, “hush, Kagome, you had your own thing going on as did I and Yoko, I'm just happy to be with you here and now,” he told her.

The girl in his arms grinned and leaned up to brush her nose against his. This would be the first time they had gotten more intimate than just cuddling or embracing and he couldn't wait until he could close that distance between them and cement their intimacy.

Just as he was about to close the distance, the door barged open; violet and blue orbs shot to the door to meet with gold.

“Kuronue,” the silver fox walked into the room, slanted gold eyes wide with shock as he stared at his partner. Kagome frowned, not pleased that she had been interrupted before finally experiencing a kiss with Kuronue; something she had been anticipating for a very long time.

Kuronue stared at the fox, “Yoko,” he smirked slightly but kept his arms around Kagome, keeping the inu close to him.

“How…how are you back?” the fox asked, “Kagome had a lot to do with that, my old friend, she somehow talked the brat into giving me back my body,” Kuronue said.

Yoko's gold eyes shot to Kagome, “I've tried talking him into doing that, how did you do it so easily?” he asked, suspicious of the inu.

She rolled her eyes, “I have my connections fox, I told him that I would consider going back to the Makai and never returning if he brought Kuronue back and the toddler agreed,” the demoness told the kitsune with a nonchalant shrug of her shoulders.

`I do not believe that one bit,' Kurama said with a frown.

Yoko agreed silently with his counterpart, yet he was pleased that Kuronue was back so he had to give the Inu credit. “Are you going to halt your plans in joining Sakyo with the demon tunnel?” he asked.

Kagome gave a laugh, “no, I still plan on going through with that, I want that tunnel opened; you forget, Yoko, I have family in this time and I've waited a long time to see them again,” she said, her ice blue eyes having a spark of warmth before it was replaced by the ever cold mask once again.

Yoko frowned, “I understand that, but you must understand that it is dangerous,” he told her. Kagome growled, “okay, then I don't see why you are allowed to reside in the human world, aside from your avatar bullshit! You are equally as dangerous as me Yoko or you used to be before you took residence in a human and went soft!” she snarled and pulled away from Kuronue, walking off into the bathroom, slamming and locking the door behind her.

The fox's ears pinned to his head, ignoring the look he got from Kuronue. “I'll discuss that with you later, I have to go,” he said quietly, shifting to Kurama and heading back to his own room.

The bat sighed and rubbed his temples, violet eyes darting from the closed bathroom door and the front door to the hotel room. “What have I come back to?” he asked to no one in particular, sighing heavily and dropping down into a seat on the couch.
