Chapter 2: Embarrassing Moments

Disclaimer: I don’t own Youko Kurama, but I surely plan to someday.
Oooooooooo Oooooooooo
Youko ran through the forest with Kitana in his arms. He thought it best to take her back to his home where he could tend to her wounds and make sure she would be safe. He felt her hand come up and grab his shirt. He slowly came to a stop. He thought Kitana had regained conciseness but, when he looked at her face, her eyes were closed tightly. Youko sighed and started off running again.
He ran for about twenty minutes before he stopped at a set of rock caves near the edge of the forest. He slowed down and walked into the cave that had a kind of oval shaped door way. Then he turned left and quick stepped into a smaller room. The room had a large bed in the center of it. Youko gently placed Kitana on the bed. He glanced at her to see a big pair of shiny, golden brown eyes starting back at him.
Youko’s gold eyes just stared back at her. His breath started to quicken. Nobody had ever just stared at him like that. It was making him a little nervous. Kitana blinked at him and smiled a smile that could melt the heart of even the coldest person in the world and timidly said a simple quiet word.
“Hello”
Youko gently smiled at her. “Hello”
Kitana broke eye contact with Youko and began to glance around the room.
“Ummmm” Kitana asked suddenly. “ Where am I? And who are you?”
Youko cleared his throat and began to explain.
“ My name is Youko Kurama. You were attacked by other demons in the forest. They were trying to…………..hurt but I fought them off. I brought you here so I could tend to the bruise on your face and..... Keep you safe.”
Kitana reached up and touched her cheek. She pulled it away quickly at the immense pain she felt. “Ow” she said quietly. She looked at Youko and saw that he was worried about the pain she felt. So she gave him this big smile that helped get rid of his worry. She looked around the room again and came up with another question.
“ Where is here?”
Youko smiled slightly at Kitana’s child-like curiosity.
“Here is my home,” he said with a smile.
“Oh” Kitana laughed, then her eyes started to suddenly get heavy and she gave this big baby-like yawn. Youko couldn’t help but chuckle.
“ I see you that must be terribly tired,” he said with a smile.
“Mhm” Kitana slightly moaned and returned Youko’s smile.
Youko reached down to end of the bed and pulled the blanket over Kitana. He was going to wish her goodnight but the beautiful kitsune was already fast asleep. Youko couldn’t help but smile once again. He couldn’t help but wonder what caused the young girl to act so child-like, but his thoughts were interrupted by a huge yawn. Apparently Kitana wasn’t the only one who was tired. He slowly leaned up and began to walk to another bedroom he had nearby. He fell onto the bed heavily and immediately went to sleep.
Oooooooooo Oooooooooo
The next morning Youko opened his eyes, leaned up and stretched out everything from his ears to his tail and rubbed the sleep out of his eyes. He turned and climbed out of bed even thought he really didn’t want to but he figured that it must have been very very late in the day since it was past midnight when he and Kitana turned in last night.
‘Kitana’
Youko began to walk towards Kitana’s room. He didn’t go in but slightly peeked his head in the doorway. He eyes met an amusing sight. Kitana had kicked the blanket of off herself and was lying sprawled out across the bed snoring slightly. The vision reminded Youko that he used to do that same thing when he was just a young kit. He looked a Kitana again and began to wonder if the kitsune was as old as she looked. She looked as if she was about 18 years old , but the way she behaved reminded him Youko of a small child. Youko pondered these thoughts about Kitana for a few more minutes before they were interrupted by a big yawn given by Kitana. Youko chuckled quietly and decided to let her sleep as long as she wanted.
He slowly walked back to a hallway near the back of his cave that led to an outside hot spring. There were plenty of rocks surrounding the spring so if anybody was outside, they couldn’t see him. He sat down on the edge of the spring and slowly began to take off his clothes and shoes. He glanced around just to double check if anyone was watching him. He didn’t see, hear, or smell anyone so he continued stripping. If anyone had been watching him they would have been in pure awe. Youko was of the most beautiful creatures in the world. His pale skin was flawless. Muscles ripped through his entire body, and his abs and his chest were to die for. He was the envy of almost every male demon within a hundred miles, and he knew it too. Most female demons would throw themselves on him whenever he was around which is why he was watching his back. He didn’t really feel like being attacked by some crazy female today. When he was completely naked, he slowly slid into the hot water. Youko sighed and relaxed. This was perfect. This was a time where he didn’t have to worry about anything. All he had to do was relax and let all of the stress off of his mind. He leaned the back of his head on a rock that was behind him and slowly drifted back off to sleep.
Oooooooooo Oooooooooo
Meanwhile, Kitana was still sleeping the day away, having a very silly dream. She was dreaming that everything was made out of chocolate. /A.N: How many of us have had this dream ladies? Hee hee. Right now in her dream she was trying to chew her was through a giant chocolate ball but unfortunately she was really chewing her pillow. She didn’t know that of course. That is until she a feather stuck in her throat. She woke up instantly and coughed and coughed until the little feather flew out of her throat. She grasped her neck and cleared her throat a little then she began to look around. He chocolate playground was gone. She was in a cave in a huge bed but whose bed was she in? She thought back for a moment and the memories of the previous night flooded back into her mind. The demons attacking her, a male kitsune coming to her rescue, being knocked out by a demon, and looking up into the kitsune’s face.
She remembers his kind golden eyes and his warm voice but his name was faded. What was his name?
FLASHBACK
Kitana blinked at him and smiled a smile that could melt the heart of even the coldest person in the world and timidly said a simple quiet word.
“Hello”
Youko gently smiled at her. “Hello”
Kitana broke eye contact with youko and began to glance around the room.
“Ummmm” Kitana asked suddenly. “ Where am I? And who are you?”
Youko cleared his throat and began to explain.
“ My name is Youko Kurama. You were attacked by other demons in the forest. They were trying to…………..hurt you but I fought them off. I brought you here so I could tend to the bruise on your face and..... keep you safe.”
END FLASHBACK
“Youko Kurama” Kitana said to herself. She looked around trying to find the man who saved her but he was nowhere to be found. She tweaked her ears in every direction to see if she could here him anywhere. To her left down a hallway she heard a splashing and coughing sound. She slowly got out of bed and began to walk down that hallway
Oooooooooo oooooooooo
Youko had slid under the water while he was napping and woke up to a not so cheerful surprise. He gasped and choked as he rose back up to the surface. He crawled onto a rock and tried to catch his breath. ‘Note to self, Never fall asleep while in the water again’ he thought to himself. He turned to put his clothes back on and return to the cave to check on Kitana when he saw her blushing and staring at him in a state of total shock.
Kitana couldn’t believe her virgin eyes. A man that she felt she had known for only a few brief minutes and she was already viewing his body in a way that she knew she shouldn’t. Yet, she couldn’t compel herself to pull away from the sight.
After a few brief moments Kitana began edge back slowly then she turned around and took off running.
Youko sat there a few moments before beginning to laugh his head off. Nothing that embarrassing had ever happened to him before and he couldn’t help but laugh. He grabbed the towel that was lying next to rock he was on and started to dry himself off. He tried to calm his laughter down but he couldn’t help but snickered as he remembered the “OH MY GOD!” look on Kitana’s face. He finished drying himself and began to put his clothes on. He thought that maybe he should try and talk to Kitana and hopefully she wouldn’t be too embarrassed.
Oooooooooo oooooooooo
Kitana had crawled back into the bed and placed the pillow over her head. She couldn’t believe what had happened. She just had to go and be Miss Nosy and looked what happened. She walked in on the man who had just saved her life stark naked. She started to cry. She was sure that he would be mad and kick her out of his home and would never forgive her for what she had done. She sobbed heavily underneath the pillow. If he kicked her out, where would she go? She didn’t know anybody else and she definitely couldn’t go back home. No way.
FLASHBACK
“Kitana why are you fighting this. You father and I only want what’s best for you.”
If that were true mother you wouldn’t be forcing me to do this. Something like this is supposed to be my decision.” Kitana retorted harshly.
“ Baby the same thing happened to me when I was you age and me and your father are happy.” Kitana’s mother Nala said softly trying to calm Kitana’s raging temper.
Kitana clenched her fists and replied in a calm voice but hear the venom of her anger dripping from every word. “I’m not like you and I don’t want this and you can’t make ME! “ and on that note Kitana turned on a heel and ran away. Away from her mother, away from father,. And away from him.
END FLASHBACK
Kitana slowly pulled her head out from under the pillow and tried to calm herself down. She took a few deep breaths and the tears slowly began to cease. She bowed her head in pure depression thinking that nothing in the world could fix this mess when she felt a hand touch her face.
She slowly opened her eyes to see Youko staring back at her with a kind look in his eyes. Kitana felt a huge wave of embarrassment hit her and she quickly turned her head in the other direction.
Youko gently grabbed her chin and turned her head back towards him. Kitana stared into Youko's golden eyes as he began to stare back into her honey brown ones. Kitana felt her eyes begin to tear up once again.
"I'm sorry,” she said bowing her head. The humiliation she felt was just too much and she began to weep again. " I'm so very sorry. I didn't mean to walk in on you like that. I didn't mean ---"
"Shhhh" Youko said as he wiped the tears from Kitana's eyes. " It's ok.,” he said softly. " I know you didn't mean it. " You mean............ You forgive me?" Kitana asked shocked. Youko took a deep breath and replied with a smile. " There is nothing to forgive." Kitana began to shudder and she started to cry again. Youko made a face of confusion and quickly sat down beside her and wrapped his arms around her.
" Hey what's wrong?"
" Nothing," Kitana said sobbing. " It's just that, you've been so nice to me and I never did thank you for saving me. Then I had to go and be nosy and I ended up waling in on you while you were...bathing. I know that on the inside you hate me."
"No no no I don’t hate you," Youko said wiping more tears from her face. " A little embarrassed that you saw me naked but, hey it happens." he said chuckling softly. Kitana sniffled and smiled a little bit. She tried to get up off of Youko's chest by pushing on the bed for leverage but she accidentally put her hand down on his crotch instead. Kitana snatched her hand looked at Youko afraid that he might yell at her or something but he just laughed. Kitana looked at him kind of confused. Youko had fell on his back on the bed laughing his head off. Kitana smiled and began to laugh to see how silly the situation was.
They were both having a good time but, the laughter was cut short by Kitana's stomach grumbling. Kitana eyes grew wide and she held her stomach. She looked back at Youko to him smiling and snickering at her. She childishly stuck her tongue out at him. Youko smiled. " You must be hungry I hear."
"Yea" she said softly rubbing her tummy.
"Well I'll go get you something to eat then. Will you be alright here by yourself?" Youko asked getting up off of the bed.
"Yes, I think so" Kitana said with a slight smile o n her face. Youko returned her smile. " Good."
He turned towards the doorway to leave but stopped.
" Oh, I almost forgot. Later on I'm some friends over. Would you like to meet them?"
Kitana drew herself in a little and frowned. " I'm not really presentable enough to meet anybody." Kitana said as she pulled at her tattered clothes.
Youko thought for a second. " Well, I do have some clean clothes in that chest over there by the door and you could have yourself a nice hot bath while I’m gone.
"Bath?" Kitana asked tweaking her ears. " Don’t worry I wont try to peek on you for revenge." Youko joked. That put a big smile on Kitana's face that made Youko feel kinda warm inside.
"Well let me be off." Youko said as he started to leave. " Are you sure you'll be ok by yourself?"
" Yes Youko I'll be fine."
"Ok I'll be back as soon as I can." Then Youko ran out of the cave leaving Kitana alone. Kitana began to get up to get the clothes Youko mentioned to her but all that crying had left her tired and she laid back down to sleep some more.
TBC :)
Midnite Kitsune: Well the long awaited chapter 2 has been completed.
Kitana: It's about time. It's been what? 4 or 5 months?
Midnite Kitsune: Leave me alone. It wasn't my fault blame my teachers forgiving me so much work.
Kitana: Oh sure blame it on the teachers for you being lazy.
Midnite Kitsune: Shut up or you'll never get that kiss me and you talked about earlier.
Kitana *shuts up*
