Yu Yu Hakusho Fan Fiction ❯ Youko Style of Some Fairy Tale ❯ Chapter 3 ( Chapter 3 )

Chapter 3

 

After a week of being held by Youko Kurama, Kyoko was secretly enjoying her time with him but she put up a false act and gave the thief a hard time about her being with him and how she was use to a lot better things. Kurama used his plants to keep her inside his den while he was out and he also gave her a few outfits to wear but she gave him a knuckle sandwich when he tried to get her to wear a belly dancer outfit. To say the least Kurama was not expecting her to have that much strength even though he knew she had five older brothers.

Kyoko met some of Youko's friends and learned that some of them started out their thief life because they didn't have enough money to feed themselves or their families. Although some of them did it because they were bored. Kurama made sure none of his friends didn't get too friendly with her and made it clear he would kill them if they did. What really got to her was the sleeping arrangement. There was only one bed and he thought he was going to sleep in it with her but another right hook to his face said otherwise.

Youko usually went out during the day which left Kyoko nothing to do and this day was one of the days she was really bored. Since she didn't know the outside world as well as Youko she dare not leave the safety of his den but instead decided to make believe she was waltzing with one of her brothers. It was during that time that Kurama decided to show up and watched her curiously as she danced with an invisible person.

“What are you doing?” he finally asked.

“Waltzing,” Kyoko answered simple as if everyone did it.

“Waltzing?” Kurama gave her an almost disgusted but yet questionable look. “I've never heard of it.”

“It's for when you dance at parties in the castle. I have to stay in practice so when I get back I can still dance with annoying suitors.”

“You won't be leaving anytime soon or ever for that fact.”

“Don't get too cocky. My brothers are very protective of me and they're probably already have a rescue team after me as we speak.”

“Well at least three of your brothers want you back,” he told her as he went to lie on the bed.

The princess stopped and looked at him confused, “What are you talking about?”

“Your brother what's his face, Irca - no - Eno...Isamu, that's it, Isamu!”

“What do you mean Isamu? He would never get me into this mess!”

“That's not what this letter says,” Kurama tosses her a letter and secretly watched for her reactions with slightly cracked eyes.

Kyoko read the letter but looked slightly startled at the end so she reread it again. Slowly she sank into a chair in totally disbelief; her own brother sold her out to the thief. Isamu was the only one in her brothers that wasn't so protective of her nor did he force her to look for a mate. Slowly after the shock settled her temper shot out the roof and she began screaming and ranting about how she hated her brother at the moment. Kyoko didn't even notice Kurama laughing his head off at her losing her manners not to mention her cool until she throw a chair in his direction.

Youko quickly dodged it and suddenly heard weeping. Upon looking up he saw Kyoko curled up on the ground shaking, salt water quickly filled the air was the only thing that pointed to younger yoko* was crying. He snuck closer to the young princess and his ears pricked up at her almost inaudible words.

“Why...why would he do this...what would he...what would he get out of this...” that was what was heard between her sobs and hiccups. “He must...he must have a reason...”

Kurama felt his cold heart crack at her words and he slowly picked her up and held her against him. For a few moments she didn't move still slightly shocked at the gentle gesture but then Kyoko's arms slowly worked their way over his back and settled on his board shoulders. Kyoko cried on Kurama's chest as if he was one of her brothers and didn't stop crying until she cried herself to sleep. Youko gently picked her up and sat on the bed with her in his lap. (a/n: they're not going to do `it', for all those who have dirty minds, that comes later. :3 TeeHee!)

 

Kurama snapped his eyes opened when he suddenly smell of smoke. As gently as he could so not to wake Kyoko he got out of bed and went to the entrance of the den. He watched with stunned shock as the forest was on fire. Running inside he quickly grabbed his traveling bag and stuffed a set of Kyoko's clothes inside and some food. Kurama ran to Kyoko and shook her awake. “Kyoko wake up! Kyoko!” the young yoko didn't even budge and so he exclaimed, “Tatta Hitotsu No Gini Ronomono! Wake up!”

This time Kyoko woke up and looked at him groggily, “What? What's wrong?”

“We have to get out of here!” he quickly grabbed her hand and dragged her out of the den as he commanded his plants to destroy the entrance in order to protect everything inside.

Kurama led Kyoko through the forest until they reached a desert even then they ran a few miles away from the burning forest. When the thief turned to the forest he pulled the princess close as if to protect her from the fire that could not reach them on the desert plan. Youko looked down at Kyoko and saw a slight fear and yet remembrance in her eyes upon gazing at the forest.

Finally she spoke, “Your home...”

Quickly Kurama cut her off, “Don't worry I sealed it so the fire won't reach anything inside and I have other dens in other places. The closest one is across the desert but I don't know if-”

“If I can make it?” she questioned as she pulled away from him looked at him accusingly.

“Well, you are-”

Again she cut him off as she rolled her eyes, “A princess! Give me a plant strap so I can tie up my hair. I don't want it in my eyes.”

Kurama looked at her surprised but gave her the strap as she used her hands to brush back her hair.

“Just so you know just because I'm a princess doesn't mean that I'm helpless. I maybe trained to be a princess but I was also trained to defend myself in case of time of war. Which way to your den? We can probably make it there before the sun comes up.”

The older youko sighed and pointed to the west, “Towards the rising moon.”

“Let's go then,” as she bounded off in that direction.

Kurama quickly caught up to her and asked, “Why aren't you running back to your family?”

Kyoko didn't answer for a moment as they ran along the sand duns, “Because I know the reason why Isamu did this.”

 

Japanese words! Yay!

 

Alright in the story I put Youko for Kurama and Yoko for Kyoko and that's because Youko is for males and Yoko is for females. I found that out from another fanfic drawer on devianart and if you want to look me up my screen name is: Fire-Ninja-Yamakaza.
