Kitana woke and slowly opened her eyes. She was shocked to see that Youko wasn't there. She leaned up quickly and looked around the room. He wasn't in there. She was just about to go looking for him when she heard men and women laughing outside. Kitana's ears twirked up.

 

' Who in the world is that?' she thought. Suddenly Youko ran through the doorway heading for the shelf. He wasn't wearing his usual white outfit. Instead he donned a jet black outfit just like it. Kitana couldn't help but notice how sexy he looked in it. She felt her cheeks turn on a dark blush. She took in a deep breath and sighed. Youko heard the deep sigh and turned around. “Oh hey, you're awake.” he said gleefully. Kitana just nodded her head. Youko smiled and walked over to the bed and sat down. He ran his hands through Kitana's hair and straightened the rose he had placed in her hair earlier. “Um, Youko? Who are all of those people out there?”

 

Youko continued to run his fingers through Kitana's hair.

 

“Just some friends of mine.”

 

“Oh”

 

Youko smiled down at her. “ Would you like to meet them?”

 

Kitana gulped. “ Well, I don't know. Meeting new people makes me nervous.”

 

“There is no reason for you to be nervous,” Youko said softly. “They won't bite you and if they try I'll bite them.”

 

Kitana giggled. “Well ok, I guess it wouldn't hurt.” Youko grinned.

 

“ Perfect”

 

He grabbed Kitana's hand and began to lead her towards the door. Kitana's heart started racing as they got closer and closer to the door. Youko sensed her nervousness and pulled Kitana closer to him and gave her a warm smile. Kitana smiled back and her heart slowed back down to it's regular pace.

A male kitsune was standing on the bedroom balcony of his palace. He had fiery red hair and piercing blue eyes. He donned a royal blue yugata and gold sandals. He had a very stern face. He was terribly worried and upset over something. Something that he held very close to his heart had gone missing and he didn't have a clue where it was. He took in a deep breath and sighed heavily. The cool nightly breeze felt good on his skin. He leaned closer to the edge of the balcony wondering that if he tried could he float away on the cool breeze. Suddenly there was a knock on his door.

 

“Enter.” He said with a strong, stern voice. A guard came in looking very distressed. He bowed down on one knee before his lord.

 

“My apologies Lord Kyora. We've search all over the neighboring villages and we couldn't find her.”

 

Kyora sighed again.

 

“Are you sure you've looked everywhere?” Kyora asked with a very sorrowful tone. The guard nodded his head.

 

“Yes my lord. We had every place double checked and no one acknowledged that the princess had been there.”

 

Kyora clenched his fists in frustration.

 

“Very well.” he said after a moment of silence. “You are dismissed.”

 

The guard got up of his knee and left the lord's chambers. Kyora got even closer to the edge of the balcony. Soon there was another knock at his door.

 

“Enter”

 

A servant quickly walked in. “My apologies Lord Kyora,” she said with a slight curtsy. “but Lady Katara wishes to speak with you.” Kyora sighed once again. “Send her in.” The servant bowed and left the room. Soon a beautiful kitsune with flowing black hair and piercing gold eyes walked into the room. Kyora smirked.

 

“Katara, to what do I owe this lovely visit.”

 

Katara put her right hand on her hip. “ Cut the crap Kyora. You know damn well why I'm here.”

 

Kyora clenched his fists as he walked towards the woman. “Of course I do, you're here to become a pain in my ass.”

 

Katara chuckled.

 

“Get used to it. As soon as you marry my sister I'll be visiting you a whole lot more often. As soon as you find her that is.” she said with a smirk.

 

“Don't you worry about that. I will find her.” Kyora snapped.

 

Katara giggled. “ Oh my dear Kyora, did I up set you.”

 

Kyora growled. “Why are you here Katara?”

 

Katara grinned mischievously. “I'm just here to keep you on your toes about your search.”

 

Katara became to circle Kyora.

 

“I want my sister found. The fate of out two families depends on it. Kitana does not yet know of her destiny and she will never fulfill if you do not search harder for her.”

 

Katara stopped pacing and grabbed Kyora by his collar.

 

“Find my sister Kyora,” Katara said in an ominous tone. “Or I wont be responsible for what happens between you and my father.

 

Kyora sighed in annoyance. “Are you done?”

 

Katara growled and slowly let go of Kyora's collar. She then turned to leave.

 

“I can't imagine what I used to see in you.”

 

Kyora chuckled. “It wasn't what you saw in me, it's what you saw under my clothes that intrigued you so much.”

 

Katara halted and turned back to Kyora.

 

“How dare you bring that up now.” Katara said snarling. Kyora chuckled again.

 

“Oh, don't worry love, I didn't tell anyone but it would put you in a serious pickle with your husband found out that he wasn't you first.”

 

Katara clenched her fists.

 

“Now I want you to stop bothering me about you sister. I'll find her.” Kyora finished with a smile on his face. Katara took a deep breath.

 

You'd better hope so.”

 

Katara then left Kyora's room in a huff. Kyora shut his chamber doors and made his way to his bed. Even though he felt relaxed he knew he wouldn't be able to sleep. He looked out of the window beside his looked at the stars.

 

“Don't worry Kitana, I'm coming for you.”

 

********************

 

Meanwhile, Kitana and Youko were sitting around the fire outside, talking and laughing with Youko's friends: A bat demon named Kuronue, a goat demon named Yomi and two other female demons the two men had brought with them. All of the other demons were drinking wine while Kitana drank a small cup of apple cider. (A.N.: Given her innocence, i didn't want her drinking ) She wasn't really talking all that much because she know everybody that well, but she was listening and laughing if someone said something funny.

 

But soon that laughter quieted down and the men began talking about serious matters. Kitana grew bored so she leaned over in Youko's lap hoping to get some sleep. Youko looked down at Kitana and smiled. Yomi and Kuronue chuckled.

 

“She's quite adorable Youko.” Yomi said softly. “Where did you find her?”

 

“In woods not far from here.” Youko answered.

 

“In the woods?” Kuronue asked.

 

“Yes, she was being attacked by lesser demons of the Nakanshi clan. They were trying to rape her.”

 

Youko began stroking Kitana's hair.

 

“Why would they want to rape such a cute little girl? Don't they have women of their own?” Kuronue asked. Yomi sighed.

 

“Have you seen the the Nakanshi clan's women? I wouldn't touch them with a 30ft pole. Let alone claim one of them as a mate.”

 

Kuronue shook his head. “Well do you know where she came from?”

 

Youko shook his head. “No, I didn't ask her about it.”

 

“Why not?”

 

“If she wanted m to know, I think she would've told me by now.”

 

“You need to find out more about her Youko.” Yomi said. “You never know, she might be a thief or a spy or she could be that missing princess for all you know.”

 

That got Youko's attention.

 

“Princess? What princess?”

 

Yomi cleared his throat.

 

“I heard that the youngest daughter of the Kuroda clan ran away from home about 2 weeks ago.”

 

“Why did she run?”

 

Yomi shook his head.

 

“That I do not know but, in order for someone to run away from all of the riches her family possessed, it would have to have been something terrible.”

 

“True” Youko agreed.

 

Kitana's heart began to race. Only pretending to sleep, she had heard every word that passed between the 3 men and she didn't like it. She didn't want hear about unpleasant things. She leaned up off of Youko and got up from where she sat.

 

“Kitana, where are you going?” Youko asked concerned.

 

“I'm going to bed.” Kitana said sadly. “I'm sleepy.”

 

Youko's ears lay down on his head.

 

Yomi spoke up.

 

“I think you need to tend to her Youko. Kuronue and I will be off.”

 

Youko nodded and then went off to follow Kitana

 

*****************************

 

Youko walked into the bedroom to Kitana curled up into the fetal position, holding her tail between her legs. Youko smiled slightly. “Another thing I used to do.” he thought to himself. He walked over to the bed and sat down beside where Kitana was lying.

 

“Hey, what's the matter?” he asked her.

 

“Nothing”she replied softly.

 

Youko frowned. He crawled on the bed and laid down so he could look Kitana in the eye.

 

“Tell me the truth, what's wrong?”

 

Kitana just tilted her head down. Youko sighed and lifted her chin back up.

 

“Kitana please tell me what's the matter? I don't like to worry and you're making me worry.”

 

Kitana smiled softly “ Youko, how come you care about me so much? You don't know anything about me.”

 

“You don't have to have a reason to care about someone Kitana. As for me not knowing anything about you.,that's your fault because you didn't tell me.”

 

Kitana looked down again.

 

“You're right.”

 

Kitana then leaned up on the bed and pulled her legs to her chest.

 

“Youko can I tell a secret.
