Part One
"Well, I think it's time for me to head to bed," Rika Makoto spoke up with a yawn. She stood from her place next to Kurama and Yusuke on the sofa. "I'll see all of you in the morning, won't I?"
"You're not showering?" Kayko asked. Rika shook her head.
"I'm too tired. I'll do it first thing in the morning. Good night, everyone," Rika answered. She walked in front of the television and headed up the stairs. Everyone stayed silent until they heard her bedroom door click to a shut.
"What did she do today?" Yusuke questioned, looking at Kuwabara.
"She was training all day. She wouldn't even come in for lunch," he responded. "I don't know why she's so determined to make herself stronger."
"She has many enemies that have yet to find her. She is not yet at their level," Hiei informed. Everyone glanced at him. "You all should know her enough by now. She won't let anything happen to the ones she loves."
"She's paranoid," Yusuke grumbled, folding his arms over his chest. "Oh well, there isn't anything we can do about it. I'm heading to bed as well. I'm beat."
"I think we all are with the day's chores. It's been a busy day," Botan stated. "Well, I can't go to sleep. I have to go back to Koenma and file some reports. I'll be back in the morning for breakfast."
"See you later, Botan," Kayko remarked. Botan nodded and walked out of the house, taking off into the Spirit World.
"I think it's safe to say the rest of us will be heading to bed shortly," Kurama spoke up, standing. "I will take care of the dishes in the kitchen. I hope all of you sleep well."
"Oh, thank you, Kurama," Kayko smiled. She patted his shoulder and walked by him, heading to her room. The others smiled at him and followed her lead. Kurama walked into the kitchen and began washing the few dirty dishes in the sink when a sudden thought took him over.
'Why do I have to feel so strange every time I see her? It's so easy to take in her scent...it's so catching...and mesmerizing.'
It is, isn't it? That's where the both of us have something in common, Suichi. Kurama frowned.
'Go away, I wouldn't do anything to hurt Rika.'
Who's to say desiring her is hurting anyone? You know you want to experience her. Why don't you approach her?
'I wouldn't dare taint her innocence. She doesn't even know of my feelings for her.'
That is your fault. You can't expect her to wait for you. You'll lose her and won't have a chance to do what the BOTH of us want with her.
'No. I already told you that I wouldn't do such a thing to her, not unless she wanted it as well.'
How do you know that she doesn't? You never asked her.
'Nonsense. We haven't known each other that long.'
Eight months isn't long to you? It is to me, and because of you, I can't get what I want from her. And neither can you. Stop holding yourself back. You want more than anything to seduce her. You want to touch her, taste her, smell her... Why you are in denial is beyond me.
'I'm not in denial of what I want. Rika is beautiful, and a wonderful human being.'
She's not entirely human. She's half demon. You know that. That makes her even more desireable. Why can't you just unleash me? If I have to, I will be more than happy to seduce her on both our parts.
'It's too early. I can't do that to her.' Kurama finished washing the dishes and began to rinse them.
You are getting pathetic. We are one person, and yet, you pull yourself from the truth. What are you afraid of? Kurama heard his inner self chuckle. Are you afraid that she will desire me more than you?
'That's absurd. That is the least of my worries. I don't want to put her in danger. If our enemies knew how much I loved her, she would be at risk of being hurt. It's the last thing I want. I won't burden her.'
You are causing her to suffer. You have been blind. She wants you. She loves you. Even Hiei can see it. Why the Hell can't you?!
'Stop it. I will not take this from you. I am making the right decision. I won't do anything to Rika until I am ready, until SHE is ready. All you want her for is pleasure, and you know it.'
You don't know what I want. I want to GIVE, not receive. I thought you had wanted the same thing. We have eight months to make up for. Admit it. You have loved her since you first set eyes on her. After that tiring battle against Karasu, you received relaxation just by looking at her.
'Maybe so.'
All I'm trying to say is not to procrastinate. She won't be around forever to claim as yours...as OURS. Take her as yours tonight. Tell her how you feel, and let me loose to do what the both of us want. You know I'm right.
'Well...'
Do it, Suichi. You don't have forever.
'...Alright.'
Good. We'll do it tonight. Go wake her from her sleep.
'I had wanted to wait until morning. She is exhausted from training.'
Tonight would be best, I can assure you. You never know who might come along and steal her heart, steal her from us.
'Fine, but after the dishes are finished. I also want to change and get a shower.'
Trust me, I wouldn't get a shower until AFTER what will happen tonight. Kurama shook his head and wiped off his hands. He slowly walked upstairs into his room to change into something more comfortable. After pulling out a pair of blue pants and slipping them on, he heard his innerself speak up. Let me loose, Suichi. Now is the time.
'You are far too hasty. I want to tell her how I feel about her before doing anything. We don't know how she feels just yet. I won't let either of us do anything to her unless she has the same feelings.'
Fine. So be it. Just go and wake her. Kurama nodded and walked out of his room, hearing his inner demon sigh deeply with impatience. He journeyed past Hiei's room as well as Yusuke's to Rika's. He put his hand on the doorknob and let out a nervous sigh. Go, Suichi. He turned the knob and the door opened slowly. He saw Rika on the other side of the room on her bed. He shut the door behind him and walked over to her side. He was getting ready to lean down and wake her, but something stopped him. His eyes glazed her body, her perfectly sculptured body laying above the blankets. His breath became shaky as he looked at her resting form. She was sleeping on her back, her hand risen to her face. He carefully watched her chest rising and falling with every precious breath. Her shorts rode well above her legs, showing off her thighs. Her shirt was no better. It was loose on her, revealing the creases of her breasts. He swallowed hard. She's magnificent, I know. I can feel your want. Take her as ours, Suichi. Don't deny your want any longer.
'I won't...deny her anymore.' He reached down to touch her face, pushing strands of silky dark hair from her closed eyes. He felt his innerself taking control, and he didn't stop it. His form changed from that of the red-headed Suichi to the silver-haired Youko. "Oh Rika, you will desire me fully tonight." He licked his lips and bent down, pushing his moistened mouth against her dry, rosy lips. He let his tongue rove over her lips, probing them to open. They parted slowly and he entered her mouth, teasing her immobile tongue with his. He was surprised to hear a moan emit from deep within her throat. Her head moved up, stretching out her neck. Youko moved away slowly, relishing the feel of her lips, her taste. He ran his hand along her neck down to her collarbones. "You are so beautiful, Rika." Her eyes twitched. "Ahh, she's awakening." He pulled away for a moment, keeping a smile on his face. Her eyes opened, coming face-to-face with Youko Kurama. She sat up quickly, adjusting her clothes.
"K - Kurama?! What's going on?" she asked. "Why are you transformed?"
"Forgive me for this, Rika." He climbed on the bed, straddling over her body. Her eyes widened and she gasped lightly.
"Kurama...what are you doing?"
"I want you...now. Right now," he confessed huskily. He wrapped his arm around her waist, pulling her body against his.
"I...I don't understand, Kurama," she stammered.
"The both of us love you. We have loved you since we first set eyes on you after the Dark Tournament," he replied.
"Uhhh...'we'? What do you mean by that?" she questioned.
"My entire being. All that I am," Youko answered. "We love you. I love you. We want to show you what it's like to love a woman completely."
"Oh Kurama..." He eased her onto the bed. "Why didn't you ever tell me?"
"I would have told you. Suichi was afraid for your safety against his enemies. I speak for the both of us when I say that," Youko remarked.
"I love you too, Kurama," she murmured. Youko smirked.
"I somehow knew you did." He pulled off her shirt, leaving her chest bare against his. "You don't know what you do to me, Rika. I have wanted you for a very long time."
"I've wanted you too, but Kurama..." He looked at her. "What about the others?" He ran his finger against her cheek, smiling softly.
"Let them hear us. I want everyone to know that you belong to me, and you always will. No one will take you away from me," Youko commented. "I love you in a way that no one could know of. I will give before receiving. Your wellbeing means the most to me, the most to US. Neither of us will rest until you are pleasured completely. Let me make love to you, Narika." She nodded, pulling his face down upon hers.
"Yes...make love to me, Kurama." He pushed her chest against his own, loving the feel of her hot skin against his own. "Make me yours."
"As you wish." Youko bent down and kissed her once more, letting his pent up sexual frustrations go. Rika rested her hands on his head, caressing his hair as he kissed her. He began moving down, lightly flicking his tongue against her scorching skin. "Your body is burning up."
"Yes...it is. You're not the only one who has desires to let out," Rika stated.
"They will have to wait, I'm afraid, Rika." She frowned.
"And why is that?" she asked.
"Because I am giving everything tonight. You have all the time in the world to do what you want with me. I won't have any problem succumbing to you." She opened her mouth to rebuke, but he caught her in another passionate kiss. He ran his hands down to her shorts, pulling them off swiftly. He was anxious to feel her against him in her full beauty. He pulled away slowly from her mouth, leaving her quite shocked. "Don't fight with me. Just lay there and enjoy everything I give you."
"Kurama..." He was quick to pull off his own clothing, throwing them on the floor along with the others on the floor.
"God, you are beautiful. So beautiful. I don't know how I went this long without seeing you in your most heavenly form," he moaned. He put his hands on her waist, feeling her skin. "I have desired you for far too long. You deserve so much from me." Rika just watched as his eyes scoped her body, basking in her nakedness. His eyes journeyed to her own, piercing through her gaze. "I have been blessed." Rika's eyes got watery.
"Kurama, stop talking like that."
"I only speak the truth, koibito."
"But I'm going to cry," she mumbled. He caressed her cheek.
"Cry, then, so I can kiss your tears away," he urged. She closed her eyes, letting tears fall down her face. He leaned down and began kissing them, causing them to vanish. "I will always be there to kiss your tears away, no matter what, Rika." He pulled her up against him, letting his manhood touch her inner thigh. She blushed lightly, not used to the feeling of a naked man against her. "Don't be embarrassed, Rika. It's what you have been doing to me since day one, but it gets worse every time I see you."
"I...I'm sorry I've caused you pain," she apologized. Youko smiled and kissed her forehead gently.
"Nonsense, Rika. It's a type of pain that I don't mind experiencing, especially if you are the one to cause it," Youko pointed out. He slowly began grinding himself against her. "You won't mind it either, I'm sure." She whimpered and let a low moan escape her lips.
"Ohh...Kurama...that feels good..." she confessed.
"We haven't even started," he hissed. He caught her ear in his mouth, nibbling on it as he continued to move himself against her thigh. She wrapped her arms around his neck and tried as hard as she could to keep in a moan. Her womanhood throbbed ferociously. She wanted him so much; she wanted to pleasure him.
"Kurama..." Rika groaned as his lips trailed down her body to her breastbone. He kneaded her chest with sweet kisses. Rika let out a deep sigh, taking in a breath of precious oxygen. 'This is getting to be too much for me...I didn't think it...would feel this good...' Youko pulled away, licking his lips with an evil smirk on his face. He stopped his erotic movement against her for a moment.
"Rika...have you ever...made love?" he asked her. Rika gazed at him. He was absolutely serious.
"No. I've never made love before," she answered. Youko's smile softened.
"Good, because I don't want anyone else to experience you except me," he replied stubbornly. "You'll be mine before the night ends."
"I was hoping for that," she whispered. He leaned closer to her, and ran his palm along her right nipple. Rika's body held back a spasm of pleasure. "Oh God, Kurama..." He leaned down and flicked her nipple with his tongue, momentarily savoring the taste of her rigid skin.
"Beautiful. All of you is absolutely beautiful," he mumbled as he continued to massage her nipples with his tongue. Rika put her hand over her mouth, stopping herself from moaning. She didn't want anyone to hear them. She knew it wasn't too long ago when everyone went to sleep. Someone could still be awake in the house. "Don't hold yourself back, Rika." He grabbed the hand over her mouth and kissed her. "I want everyone to hear you moaning, and I want them to know that I am the one causing it. They must know that you are mine."
"I...don't want anyone to...interrupt us," she stammered. Youko shook his head.
"Koishii, no one would DARE come in. No one sees you in this form but me," Youko stated. "If anyone comes in and sees you like this, they will be punished."
"Even our friends?" Rika inquired. "You wouldn't hurt them...would you?" His eyes softened when he saw the concerned look in her own eyes. He shook her head.
"No, not unless you wanted that of me. But, everyone will know you are mine. You have the body of a goddess, and not just anyone is permitted to see you like this," Youko said. He was being very serious about this. "Only me."
"You're very stubborn," she teased.
"So I am. I don't want anyone to experience you except me," Youko continued.
"Well, what if I want..." She stopped herself. 'No, I won't provoke him by saying if I wanted to be with someone else. That will only anger him. I need to get a hold of myself and stop trying to test him. This is the bandit Youko, not the calm Kurama.'
"What if?" She looked at him.
"Nothing. I lost my thought," she answered quickly. He simply nodded.
"Shall we continue?" She nodded once before his lips were upon her again. He trailed down to her stomach, letting his tongue taste her hot skin. "You're beginning to sweat. You're so sexy when you're anxious."
"How can I NOT be anxious at a time like this?" she questioned. He smirked.
"Yes." He could smell her womanhood close by. He wanted to taste her. He leaned down further, spreading her legs slightly. Rika gasped and bucked her legs involuntarily. "Relax, koi. You will enjoy this...I promise." He leaned forward in between her legs and slowly slipped his tongue in between the folds of her womanhood. Rika gasped sharply, feeling the wetness of his tongue probe at her most sensitive spot. She clutched the mattress, stopping herself from moving uncontrollably. The pleasure was so great that it hurt terribly.
"Oh God! Kurama!" she cried out. Her chest was heaving in anticipation. A pleasurable groan filled the room, followed by numerous calls of his name. It just drove him further. He moved into her deeper, finally reaching her precious nub. He stretched her legs further apart, causing Rika to scream out again as he lapped gently at her core. He continued moving his tongue within her, making her shake violently. He smirked to himself, knowing what was coming. "K - Kurama!" A wave of pleasure overtook her, and her essence spilled from her into his hungry mouth. Youko pulled away after she had begun to recover, licking his lips.
"You taste delicious, Rika," he practically hissed. He crawled up to meet her flushed face.
"Oh Kurama...that was...indescribable. I...don't know what to say," she stammered. Her eyes were shut tightly as she caught her breath.
"I'm not finished yet," he informed. She opened her eyes and looked at him in shock. "I still have much to make up for."
"Wh - What?"
"We haven't even begun." He nudged his knee in between her legs, opening them up. "I will show you, Rika, how much I truly love you." She wrapped her arms around his neck, smiling lovingly.
"I have waited for this for a long time," she said.
"As have I. I will never stop desiring you, Rika. Never." He leaned down and began to kiss her neck, kneading it with his teeth lightly. Rika let out another moan.
"Kurama...why can't I let you feel...what I feel?"
"Because your pleasure will always come before mine, koi," he responded gently. "And right now, all that matters is giving myself to you. I will not stop until..." He paused and smiled.
"Stop until what?" she inquired.
"Until you have exploded around me." Rika blushed, then giggled lightly.
"That won't be much of a problem," she confessed. He leaned forward, taking her in his arms.
"I will join us together, and you will be mine forever, Narika. Be mine," he rasped.
"I will. Make me yours, Kurama." He positioned himself above her, letting himself touch her entrance slightly. She felt herself grow damp again, her womanhood pulsating rapidly. "Make love to me. Please." He nodded and pushed himself within her, receiving a shocked gasp from Rika. He chuckled deeply and began to thrust slowly. "Go faster." Youko was surprised at her demand so early in their moment, but complied quickly.
"I will not rush this, Rika. I want to relish the feel of you," Youko pointed out.
"And I want to feel you...in all that you are. Your true being," Rika stated. "Youko." His ears perked up. She didn't call him Kurama, she called him Youko.
He lost it.
"Yes. I will give everything to you, Narika," he remarked. He drove himself into her, letting her writhe beneath him excitedly. "Yes, move around me. Move, darling." She was fully aware of what she did to him. She practically drove him insane. It was no telling what he would do to her, and she didn't care. Whatever it would be, she would enjoy it otherwise. He wouldn't hurt her, even if he was droven mad with arousal. She was insane with arousal as well, and held back the raw pleasure eminating from her body.
Rika arched her back, letting him reach into her further. She felt him touch her barrier, and he stopped for a moment.
"Rika, this may hurt a little."
"I know. Go ahead, I'm ready for it," she stated. He nodded and eased himself past her barrier quickly, not wanting to draw out the pain. Rika slid her hands over his back, using it for leverage. It hurt, she admitted, but he was working in a way that the pain did not matter to her at all.
"Rika..." he hissed. She felt wonderful surrounding him. Her inner muscles twitched with pleasure. She wasn't able to control herself. "Don't let yourself go just yet."
"I'm not going to. I want more," she remarked.
"Good, because I am going to keep giving to you," Youko commented. He drove himself into her, pushing her hard into the mattress with every thrust. Rika shut her eyes for a moment, fully experiencing the feel of Youko within her walls. She dug her nails into his bare back, not caring if she drew blood from his skin. Apparently, he didn't care either. Youko sped up each time he moved within her, letting Rika feel all the pleasure she possibly could.
"Yes, Rika. Yes," Youko moaned. "You are a dream in this reality of mine. I never thought..." Rika pushed her lips against his, frantically kissing him. Youko kept thrusting within her and inserted his tongue into her mouth, tasting the inside of her mouth once more. Rika slid her legs apart, letting him get into her further. The little pain within her was quick to turn to pleasure, and she bucked beneath him. Youko pulled away, realizing that she was already going to release herself. She was quite responsive.
"Kur...Kurama, I am going to..."
"Don't let yourself go, Rika," he demanded softly. "I want us to do it together, as one, like it should be." She nodded and resisted the growing pain within her. She wanted to do it with him as well.
"I...I'm trying..." Youko ran his hand down her body, caressing her sweet skin. This was torturous for Rika. "Kurama, please...you're making this harder..."
"Forgive me, Rika. I...cannot help but touch your beautiful skin," he apologized. But she knew, she knew he didn't mean it. She knew he wanted her even more, but she also was aware that she would at any minute let herself go. She wasn't strong enough to hold it back. She needed release, and she needed it soon.
Youko leaned down to her breasts and pressed his hot tongue against each one, leaving a wet trail behind. Rika sharply inhaled, not able to take the feeling. He could feel her dampening greatly around him, allowing him to slide inside of her with ease. He manipulated her body, touching her expertly, throwing her closer and closer to the edge of ecstasy. Youko was in between her legs, not letting her move them together for any reason. This caused her to groan uncontrollably, calling out his name over and over to stop. Her moans tempted him further and he continued his actions.
She was throbbing, and she couldn't do anything about it. She delayed her release as much as she could for him. He wasn't as responsive as she, otherwise he would have been ready by now. Her stomach was in knots. Youko pressed his hands against her knees, slowly pushing them even further apart. Rika threw her head back, extending her neck with a cry of his name once more. He took advantage of this and moved his open mouth along the contours of her neck, causing a tickle to form in her throat.
"Kurama...you're driving me crazy..."
"Good." He chuckled under his breath and continued to trail wet kisses along her neck, down to her breasts again. Rika felt like pulling her hair out. It was insane, all of it was insane. To think such pleasure existed in any of the worlds around her...she had trouble believing it. Youko carefully watched her expressions, and smiled when he saw the look of desperation on her face. She wanted more than anything to let herself go, but there was only one thing stopping her: him. "You're doing wonderfully, koibito. Hold it all in."
"Easier...said than...done," she stammered, trying not to scream again.
"Scream for me. I want to hear you scream my name," Youko said huskily, noticing the want to let out a bone-chilling cry of pleasure. He shoved himself into her again, getting what he wanted.
"KURAMA!!" She gasped straight after her cry and held in any further screams. She was sure to wake someone now.
"The worlds will know...that you are mine," Youko replied. He leaned down and kissed her flushed face. She was already exhausted. The knots in her stomach got tighter. It had to happen soon.
"K - Kurama...please, let me..." she faded off. She was struggling to keep her eyes open, as they were stinging from the sweat that ran down her face from her hair.
"No, not yet," he stated. "I'm not done with you." He reached down and tugged at a nipple with his teeth, then ran his tongue against it. A shrill yelp escaped Rika's lips, trying to resist the pleasure she was receiving. It was too much. Her body would explode any second. It was all a sin, the pleasure, the ecstasy, the lust between them. "I want to fill you with my very soul, Rika, and that I shall. I will build up all of your arousal to its fullest, let you feel like you're in the dream I'm in."
"I love you," she murmured, letting his torturous strokes on her body continue. "I love you."
"I know you do. I love you with every fiber of my being, Rika. I always will," he rasped. His head shot up. It was coming. He could feel it, and there was no holding it back. He wouldn't torture her any longer. "It is...time."
"Ahhh...Kurama...I..." She arched her back up and moaned loudly, wanting to let go.
"Come with me, Narika. Come now, darling. NOW," Youko urged. His deep, urging tone of voice drove her over the edge. She lost herself in a scream of pleasure, and released herself around him. Seconds later, Youko groaned deeply, letting his essence spill into her, officially making her his.
"Oh Kurama...you were wonderful..." she smiled. He kissed the side of her neck, then moved to her mouth. He pulled her damp body in his arms, feeling her warmth.
"No, you were wonderful, koi. You will always be wonderful," he whispered. "And now, my being can finally open up to you fully. I have done what needed to be done. I love you."
"And I love you...forever, Kurama." She closed her eyes and sighed tiredly. She opened them again when she felt something strange against her. She saw that Kurama had changed back into his human form. "Oh Kurama..." He ran his fingers through her hair, enjoying the feel of silk against his skin. "Thank you."
"I will always be here...when you need me, Rika," he murmured. He pressed his lips against her forehead while laying his chin on her head.
"I...know..." she yawned. He looked down, seeing she had drifted to sleep in his arms. He smiled and lay back on the bed, letting the light of the moon shine on the beautiful face of Rika, his Rika.
Part Two
Rika's eyes fluttered open. She was exhausted after the night's occurrences. She sat up slowly, letting Kurama's arms fall from around her. She needed a shower, and she needed one now. She got up from her place on the bed slowly, making sure she wouldn't wake him. She leaned down and kissed his lips, moistening them. "Thank you, Kurama."
She walked to her bathroom, shutting the door behind her. She began to fix the temperature of her water, and after putting a towel on the floor to use, she stepped in the shower, closing the curtain. 'Last night was incredible. I don't think there is really a word to describe what happened between us. We were different last night, I think. I wonder how things will work between us now that we have become one person.' She grabbed a washcloth and began to lather it with soap. She ran it along her arms, humming a sweet tune that reminded her of Kurama.
She's awake, Suichi. Kurama opened his eyes, looking to his side. Rika wasn't there. He turned his head as he heard the shower running in the bathroom. This is another good opportunity, you know.
'Wasn't last night enough for you?' Kurama stood and started to slip on his pants. He was already becoming frustrated.
I think the question is, was it good enough for YOU? She's too exquisite to let go to waste. Besides, she'll rather enjoy you bathing her. Go to her. No one will hear you.
'You are going to be the death of me yet. I refuse to carry out your selfish wishes.'
Selfish, are they? So it's not selfish of you that you stayed with her all night, sleeping next to her, feeling her nakedness against yours? You had every chance to get up and leave, and you didn't. Why? Because you love her. You desire her. You don't want any other man to touch her, or even LOOK at her for that matter. You haven't yet explained yourself. That was me who did all of that to her, and had she not been exhausted afterwards, I wouldn't have stopped. We would still be in that bed making love to each other. Kurama frowned.
'You cannot expect her to handle us like that. Of course she was exhausted. Also, I thought you had considered us one entity.'
I still do, but can you honestly feel all that I felt from her last night? You let me take over and pleasure her. It's your turn now, Suichi. Prove to her that our entire being wants and loves her as I said.
'I don't feel right doing such a thing after what transpired last night.'
Get a hold of yourself! I can feel the heat building within you. You want her right now, and because you are so damned honorable, you won't go to her. You don't even KNOW if she still wants you or not. You should find out. It may be your only chance to do so.
'I have plenty of chances. She's mine now.'
More mine than yours, I would suffice to say. I was the one that professed love for her, not you. Go do it before you let yourself fall to another pathetic level. You become more and more like a human every day. Remember who you are.
'No, you're who I USED to be. You just linger within me. I have changed since all of that. Not only has my human family changed me, but so have my friends here.'
And let me guess. Rika changed you the most?
'Yes, as a matter of fact, she did, in a sense.'
She isn't weak and pathetic like you. She isn't afraid to show you her feelings and desires. She doesn't resort to her demoness form to unleash her pleasures. I, on the other hand, had to do it for you.
'That isn't true. And besides, you enjoyed it, nonetheless.'
Of course I did. I always will as long as it's with her.
'I am about tired of listening to you. I will do as I please from now on. It's strange how I suddenly have a problem with you when it comes to Rika and my feelings for her. The only reason you have feelings for her is because you are a part of me. If you weren't a part of me, I don't think you would have any feelings towards her.'
Yes, that is quite true. Then everything that I did to her last night, you have wanted to do to her as well. You just didn't have the courage to do it. Now that it has been done, you shouldn't have any problems doing it to her yourself. So, nudge yourself into that door and join her in the shower. You don't even have to do anything serious. Just go and be with her. Let her know that everything said last night was true, that we love her and want to be with her forever. Do it, Suichi.
'Okay, fine. As long as you'll leave me alone and let me do things my way from now on.'
Of course. Kurama sighed to himself before going anywhere.
"I am changing too much. I would never do such things. It's all because of my former self. He is doing this to me. I can't go too far and do things I wouldn't normally do," he whispered to himself. Kurama walked into the bathroom softly, not wanting her to be aware that he was there. He listened carefully at the melody coming from Rika's beautiful voice, the same voice that had been screaming his name over and over the night before. He could see the silhouette of her elegant nakedness through the shower curtain.
You want her, do you not?
'Of course I do, but I just can't get in that shower with her and profess it to be so.'
...Why not?
'I can't just do that. I have - '
I know. Too much respect for her. What, do you think of yourself as unworthy? It's a little late for that. Look what has already progressed. There is nothing neither of us can do to turn back the hands of time, and it shouldn't matter. You love her, and she loves you. That's what matters the most. Your past is not a concern of hers, and hers doesn't matter to you. You love each other and desire one another for who you are. Just go to her, Kurama.
'What...what did you say?'
We are the same. I should no longer consider you as Suichi Minamino, the human. We are one, and we now have Rika. Remind her of what happened last night.
'I don't think she will need reminding of it.'
I suppose you're right. She seemed to enjoy all of it as much as I did.
'Alright, I'll go to her. I'll join her.' He took off his pants and walked up to the shower curtain, getting ready to open it.
From behind. Surprise her. Kurama nodded and did as his inner demon said. He got in the shower from behind, not letting her know of his presense. He saw Rika stop washing her arms. She could feel him close. He wrapped his arms around her waist, pulling her up against him. He felt her gasp sharply in surprise. Nicely executed.
'Could you leave us in peace, please? I would like to do this alone this time.'
As you wish. Kurama could feel his inner self disappear with a slight chuckle.
"Kurama?! I...I didn't know that you were awake." Kurama leaned his head into her hair. He could still smell himself on her. Good. She hadn't gotten very far in her bathing. His own scent continued to linger all over her.
"I was hoping to wake before you. I hope you slept well," he said, letting her go so she could face him. She smiled at him, not looking down. Even after what happened last night, she didn't think she could look at his nakedness.
"I slept just fine with you there," she stated. He pulled her in his arms.
"Forgive me if I frightened you in any way, Rika. I didn't want to, but..."
"No. You didn't do anything like that, Kurama. I was in too much bliss to even think of such things," she remarked. He pulled away, looking into her lavender eyes. They sparkled with sincerity and love.
"The reason I'm saying that is because I didn't seem like myself at all," he continued. "I had been waiting for a long time to tell you how I felt, and...all my want had built up to a point where I couldn't control myself at all." She pushed herself against him.
"But I enjoyed it all, Kurama. I enjoyed you," she whispered hoarsely. Kurama felt himself smile uncontrollably.
"I'm glad you did, Rika." He grabbed her and inched her slowly against the wall of the shower. She looked a little surprised, but saw his eyes flare. He wanted her...again.
"Kurama..." He lifted her arms above her head, pinning her wrists against the wall as well. The washcloth fell from her hand to the floor of the shower. He leaned forward and pressed his lips against hers softly. She sighed against him, letting his tongue run over her bottom lip before begging for entry into her mouth. She parted her lips slowly, letting their tongues roam together. Kurama moved one of his hands from her wrist, letting her arm fall to her side. He ran his hand down her side, caressing her hip. She wrapped her free arm around him, pulling him into the curves of her body. He pulled his mouth away, letting her breathe for a moment.
"Forgive me, Rika, but I did not get the chance to fully experience what happened last night. I was more of my demon self, suffice to say," he replied.
"So, are you saying that...you want to...do it again?" she asked hesitantly. He nodded. "Here?"
"Wherever you want." She leaned in to his face slowly, getting ready to take his lips, but he stopped her. "Does that mean you want to remain here?"
"Until we can't stand up, that is," she giggled. He smiled. That was the Rika he loved so much. "Besides, I came here to get a shower, and I fully intend to...eventually."
"As do I." She didn't know it, but Kurama had planned to be much more gentle than last night. He practically made her suffer, and he didn't want to do it again. The way he made her hold back her release until he was ready...he knew it had to hurt her in some way. The both of them moved under the shower of water, letting it run down both of their bodies.
"Hot..." Rika whimpered. It got hot in the shower all of a sudden, and Rika had a feeling it had something to do with Kurama being in there with her. Kurama adjusted the temperature, cooling the water down a little.
"Is that better?" he asked. She nodded.
"Yes. It's much better," Rika answered. Kurama grabbed her face, pulling her into an ardent kiss. She ran her hands through his hair while slipping his arms around her waist. He slowly pulled her closer, feeling her entire nakedness against his. She moaned against his lips and pulled away from his face. She explored his chest with her fingernails, causing a tingling sensation to flow through Kurama's veins.
I thought you weren't going to do something like this.
'And I thought I told you I wanted to do this on my own.'
You did, but I couldn't help but tune myself in to what was going on. I am you, after all. It's hard to ignore that tickle I just felt by her touching you.
'I am trying to concentrate, and you're not helping right now.'
So what changed your mind? Why did you decide that you suddenly wanted to make love to her...in the shower? THAT'S erotic.
'I don't have to explain anything to you. Since we're the same person, you should know this anyway.'
No, we both have our privacy. You're keeping that part of your mind closed to me, but open to Rika. She wants you, as well. What did I tell you? I know what she wants.
'As do I.'
Yes, I am quite aware of that. I suppose I should leave the both of you alone for a while, but don't expect me to leave completely. I want to stay in tune with what you decide to do to her.
'Just go, please.'
Have fun, and good luck, Kurama. He felt his inner self disappear once more.
"Kurama? Are you okay?" Rika spoke up. She noticed him enter a trance-like state.
"Oh, yes. I'm sorry," he apologized. "My...other self had a few things to say."
"Oh, I see. I didn't know you could speak with each other because, well, you're the same person," Rika remarked. Kurama caressed her face with his finger.
"Yes, we can. But, that isn't important right now. You're the one who is important," Kurama stated. Rika smiled and her eyes softened.
"Let's not go through this again, Kurama. Remember what I said to you last night."
"And remember what I said in response, Rika. You can cry all you want, because I'll always be there to kiss your tears away," Kurama commented.
"I know, but if I can help myself, I won't cry," Rika replied. Kurama nodded and leaned against her, their noses touching. "I wish we met earlier in life. We would have had more time to be together." Kurama sighed.
"No, because I would have been my other self, the self that was merciless. I am glad we met now, because if I would have ever gotten near you in that form..." He stopped, not wanting to think of what he would have done to her.
"You wouldn't have done anything bad, Kurama, I promise you," Rika pointed out.
"Neither of us know that for sure, and I am glad that we won't ever know," Kurama murmured. Rika cupped his face in her hands.
"Kurama, you wouldn't, because a part of you is still that person, but you have much more control over yourself than you used to. And because you still have that person living inside of you, I already know that you wouldn't have hurt me, for I would have been hurt by now. As you can see, I am perfectly healthy," Rika explained gently. Kurama closed his eyes and sighed, taking in her scent once more.
"Rika, I love you more than I can tell. I don't even know how to describe it. It feels as if we were always meant to be together, meant to be one whole entity," Kurama replied. Rika nodded and kissed his forehead.
"Perhaps you're right, Kurama." She wrapped her arms around his neck and pulled him closer to her face. She sighed against his lips and pressed herself against him, tasting his lips just as she did the night before. Kurama held her in place by her waist, not letting her move from against the wall. He moved his fingers around in circles on her stomach, receiving a trembled response from Rika. She moved away, her breathing shaky. It was all coming back to her; everything he did to her last night flooded her mind. He was himself this time, however, and his gentle caresses fired her soul. In either form, he was able to make her realize how godly he seemed before her.
"Are you alright, Rika?" Kurama asked her softly. She nodded and sifted her fingers in his soakened hair.
"Yes. I always am." He nodded with a slight smile. She ran her hands down his body, feeling his hot skin on her own. She reached his waist, and rubbed him there for a moment. She slowly wrapped her arms around him, pulling him closer to her. She felt him press against her. It felt just as wonderful as it did last night, perhaps even better.
"Rika...do you trust me?" Kurama inquired. She kissed him.
"Always," she whispered in response. Before he could kiss her, she stopped him. "Would you feel what I felt, Kurama? I want to give to you, because I didn't get to last night." He stood speechless, not sure what to say. She grabbed her dropped washcloth and lathered it with soap. "If our true purpose in here is to bathe, then we will." She grabbed his neck and pulled him into a passionate kiss. She rested the washcloth on his back and started to slowly rub it against him. She received a tortured groan from deep within his throat as she ensued their kiss. She moved the washcloth from his back and was quick to turn him around, pushing him against the wall of the shower.
"Rika..." he rasped. She shushed him and roved the washcloth on his chest. She applied pressure and watched his eyes carefully. He couldn't look away from her. He felt paralyzed of her loving gaze. It roused something within him. He wanted her. Terribly. The raw need within him drove him wild, made him someone he didn't recognize. He had no idea to what he was becoming, but he didn't exactly want to stop it. To think this woman, any woman, could change him this much. She was indescribable...and irretrievably his forever.
She moved slowly down his body, laying simple, passionate caresses on him with the washcloth. He grabbed her hands, helping her cleanse his body. "You're tense," Rika noticed.
"Anxious," Kurama clarified. She smiled at him, but gasped in surprise when he grabbed the washcloth from her grasp in silence. He motioned for her to turn around, and she did so without hesitation. He dropped the washcloth to the shower floor without her noticing.
"I wasn't finished," she pointed out with a bit of a pout. He wrapped his arms around her waist, pulling her naked form against him.
"I know, but I figured that logic would hold to bathe one another after what is about to happen," Kurama informed. Rika giggled lightly.
"I suppose you have made a valuable point," Rika agreed. "And...what exactly is about to happen, pray tell?" Kurama slowly ran his hands down the back of her legs, receiving a shudder from her.
"Something that you will have no trouble recalling," he answered her. She spun around.
"But will I have a say this time?" she inquired. "I would much rather not stand here and be pleasured when you are not receiving anything from me." Kurama shook his head and chuckled. She raised an eyebrow in wonder.
"Rika, koibito, you will have whatever say you want in this," Kurama gave in. She smiled.
"Good." She pushed herself against him once more, wanting to feel his hot, wet skin all over hers. "I can feel it..." Kurama looked down at her in wonder.
'Feel what?'
Your want. She can sense your want.
'I THOUGHT I told you - '
Take it easy. I was just answering your question. Take her. Feel her around you once more. Relish in it.
'If I had my way, I would have you permanently seperated from my body so I could do this in absolute peace without any disruptions!' Rika lifted her head and kissed him, pushing her tongue into his mouth hungrily.
You would wish for such a thing after all that I have accomplished for you? Rika wouldn't be standing in front of you, giving herself to you, if it wasn't for me. You have me to thank for this bliss you are in, and for experiencing this heavenly hour.
'Stop trying to make me feel guilty.' Kurama turned his attention back to Rika, kissing her back passionately. His tongue danced with hers, tasting her desire for him and how much she wanted to make love to him.
I'm not trying to do so, but if I am, then good. Feel her. Stop stalling.
'I am NOT stalling. I want to experience her as you suggested. I will NOT rush things like you did.'
I didn't rush anything. She wanted me as much as I wanted her. Kurama shook his head slightly and pulled Rika's face closer, running his fingers through her silky, soaked hair.
'That's because you tortured her into holding her release until YOU were ready.'
I did that merely because I wanted us to do it together as one. I thought you were aware of that.
'I AM aware of that, but when it comes to causing her pain...'
I didn't cause her any pain. She enjoyed it. Quite frankly, I think she likes both sides of us.
'We're the same person, so she should.'
You're averting your attention from her. Don't let her know you are indisposed while doing this. Her thoughts aren't wandering elsewhere like yours are.
'That is because you will not leave for good!'
This is all because of me? Very well. I shall depart, but I will return when this is all over. Kurama rolled his eyes, hoping that his other self wouldn't return again during this experience. He returned his attention to Rika, who was so very boldly running her hands down his body, feeling the desire in his veins. He pulled her against him, feeling the curves of her body against his. She fit right in his grasp. She was perfect for him.
"Kurama...is there something wrong?" Kurama looked into her eyes.
"Of course not."
"You seem distracted by something. Don't think I didn't notice," Rika pointed out. Kurama sighed, wanting to hurl himself off of a cliff. This moment was being interrupted, and by his own inner self.
"Forgive me, Rika, but it seems that I keep being distracted," Kurama told her.
"By your inner self," Rika guessed. Kurama nodded. She shook her head and pulled his head towards hers. "Haven't you ever heard of ignoring him?" Kurama chuckled.
"It's quite difficult to do so," Kurama pointed out. "That part of me is very persistent."
"Then I'll just have to ease the difficulty. I won't let him keep distracting you like this," Rika whispered huskily. She could feel it as well as Kurama could...she was changing at that very moment. Being driven insane with passion for this man did it to her, she knew, and she did not a thing to stop it. She once thought that she was immune to a man's touch, but at that time she had not met Kurama and fell in love with him. Every minute with him she secretly wanted him more, dreaming of the day where he would confess his love for her and make her his. It had happened, but with his demon self. She would treasure this moment more than the one she experienced the night before.
Rika took domination now, trailing her own kisses down Kurama's neck. She suckled his skin sweetly, feeling his heightened pulse. His excitement couldn't be matched by anyone at this point. She bent down slowly, moving her mouth over his collarbone to his chest. Her tongue moved over one of his nipples, and she began to suck on it. Kurama was surprised by her actions; it wasn't like her at all. She seemed to be unpredictable, and he was enjoying every second of it. He wanted to take her again, right there, right at that very moment. He had trouble controlling himself. She was far too desirable when like this.
"Rika..." She moved away for a moment.
"Shhh, koi. Let me love you," she murmured. She resumed her hot kisses, pursuing her goal to drive him crazy as he had done to her the night before. She wasn't aware of it, but she was succeeding. She trailed her fingernails along his stomach, letting the many tickles flow through his body. He loved the sensation her caresses gave him, but longed for something more. He grabbed her hands, stopping her from roving her fingers on him. "What are you doing?"
"No more," he commanded. She gave him a look of protest, but it vanished quickly when he grabbed her by the waist and pulled her deathly close to him.
"Kurama, what are you - " Rika began repeating, but caught herself when she saw the look in his green eyes. They were different. They had the same flaming desire that Youko's golden eyes possessed. But somehow, Rika could still make out the calm control in his green orbs, and sighed to herself in relief.
"It is time," he informed simply. "Forgive me for such haste." Rika shook her head.
"No, there is nothing to forgive, Kurama. I want you, too. I love you," she smiled sweetly.
"I love you too, koibito." He felt her move back against the shower wall, waiting patiently for him to impale her. He approached her slowly, not moving his gaze from hers. The shower suddenly got hotter as the distance between them came to a sharp close, and he slid himself into her gently. As soon as flesh entered flesh, memories came flooding back to the both of them. They were completely clear. "Rika...I want this to be different from last time. I...I want to be gentle with you." Rika's eyes softened at his care. It made her want him even more.
"Oh Kurama..." She wrapped her arms around his neck and pulled him into a soaring kiss. As their lips tasted each other, Kurama continued to slowly move within her, enjoying the feel of her warmth once more. Rika moaned against his lips, but did not allow him to pull away. She softly ran her tongue on his bottom lip, waiting for him to open his mouth to her. It didn't take him long to succumb to her want, and he parted his lips slowly. She didn't hesitate to slide her tongue into mouth, wanting to taste his sweetness as she did the night before.
Kurama felt it becoming easier to ease within her, her walls dampening quickly. He continued, however, to move with deep, slow strokes, wanting her to ravish in the feel of their lovemaking. This moment meant everything to him. It would change their relationship forever, just as the night before had. He had opened his darkest side to her, letting her know of the desires he had kept within him for so long. Even though that side of him lingered, she continued to love him, all of him. That was a good reason to love her as much as he did. She accepted him, despite his numerous personalities and unworthy past.
'That's what kept me from her,' he thought. He stopped himself, not wanting his inner self to resurface, but when he didn't, he continued. 'I felt unworthy of her. She always seemed too innocent and pure, but I kept forgetting that she isn't completely. Being a half-demon changes her, makes her someone she isn't used to being. Maybe that's why she was as responsive as she was last night. Neither of us seemed like ourselves, so it's possible she let her own demon go without letting me know about it.' He stopped when he felt Rika beginning to move with him, her breathing evolving into long pants of air. "Are you alright?"
"Y - yes...I'm fine," she stammered. Kurama's face filled with concern, and he stopped. She cried out in protest, her breathing speeding up. She wanted more of him, and he just...stopped. "Kurama, don't stop."
"Rika, have I hurt you?" he asked suddenly.
'What?' She shook her head. "No! Why are you asking that? You'll never hurt me, Kurama." He still felt uneasy. She grabbed him, pulling his face up to hers. "Kurama, you didn't worry last night. Why are you worrying now?"
"I...I don't know. I'm sorry." He groaned to himself. He completely ruined the moment...or so he thought. He felt Rika move her hips towards his, initiating him to move into her deeply. He watched in shock as she pleasured herself...on him. Her eyes closed and she drew out a raspy moan.
"If you won't do this, then perhaps I will," she stated. He opened his mouth to protest, but before he could do anything, she moved away slowly, her dampness lingering upon him as he barely stayed within her.
"Rika, I..." He wasn't sure what to say. Her actions had completely puzzled him. It wasn't like her. 'But was it like me to lose control like I did last night? Maybe this environment is doing this to us.' She gazed at him, her lavender eyes piercing through his green ones. It practically made him melt. Her eyes had always intrigued him, made him love her beauty even more. But, this thought slipped from his mind when Rika eased herself closer to him, letting him slowly reach into her again. He couldn't help but let out a low groan as she moaned softly. "Oh God..." It felt so good it hurt. The both of them throbbed against the other, wanting to resume for real, but the tension was incredible. 'She's teasing me.'
"Don't think I won't torture you," she spoke up. "If you don't tell me what's wrong, this will continue. We won't get anywhere if you don't open yourself up to me." He gave her a look of protest once more, but it faded as soon as he saw her expression. She was downright serious. He sighed, knowing he needed to stop worrying about her and just let himself be with her.
"Rika, I'm afraid." She cocked her head to the side, not knowing what he meant.
"Afraid of what?"
"Of...hurting you." Rika's face softened, and she pressed her face forward, kissing his lips tenderly.
"Oh Kurama, you have nothing to be afraid of. You could never hurt me, you know that," Rika pointed out.
"I did last night. Those things I did to you...I...I forced you to hold back..." he stumbled. He pulled back from her, taking himself out of her. He couldn't bear it. He hated himself for doing that to her. Rika held back whimpering when the warmth inside of her suddenly slipped from her.
"Kurama, I loved it all because it was with you. That's a part of who you are," Rika whispered in comfort. "You've become such a worrier. It isn't like you. You've always been calm and detached, but...you've changed."
"It's because you know I love you that I've changed, and the knowledge that you feel the same. My past enemies will discover, and...I can only fear what they would do to you just to get to me," Kurama explained.
"Kurama, you forget that I have dealt with many people in my lifetime. I have come close to death numerous times, but I have a strong will to live. I won't let anyone come between us. I promise you that," Rika vowed. "I mean it." She leaned forward once more, her eyes beginning to close. "I want to finish what we started before you suddenly change your mind. But, I would like to point out that it may be too late to do such a thing as merely throwing this over our shoulders." He smiled at her boldness. She was changing too, but he didn't tell her that. He was pretty sure she was aware of it.
"I am sorry, Rika. I have succeeded in effectively ruining this for the both of us," Kurama apologized. Rika shook her head.
"Nonsense." Her mouth brightened into a smile. "We're wasting water, you know. We shouldn't keep holding back. The last thing I want is to have a severe loss of water." Kurama chuckled.
"What do you suggest? Should we continue?"
"Perhaps that would be the best choice." That was all he needed. He grabbed her waist and pushed her into the wall. He felt himself losing control again, but fought against it as much as he could, remembering how he wanted to do this his own way instead of being influenced by his more impatient self.
As soon as she felt him touch her, her hips bucked. The fluid motion was incredibly painful for her, due to the fact he had left her so aroused without stimulation for a long time. She tried not to grab him and make him take her again, but it was proving to be quite difficult. Kurama saw the frustration on her face when he had entered her, but couldn't help to smile at it. She was cute when she pouted.
"Kurama..." she panted as he slowly slid within her with the gentleness he was known for.
"Yes, what is it?"
"D - Don't...torture me...like this..." she moaned. His eyes widened slightly, not sure what he had just heard.
'Torture? I'm...torturing her?'
"I...I can't..." she continued. Her eyes were pained and her breathing had sped up considerably. He immediately ran his hand against her cheek as means of comfort.
"Can't what?" he pried. His eyes searched her for an answer before she could do so herself.
God, you're stupid. Kurama frowned when he heard his inner self return for that comment, but disappear right after.
"Wait." At that, he knew what she was talking about. She wanted all of him right then and there. She wanted him to move like he did the night before, and God, he wanted to. So, with that last word, he moved into her quicker, causing Rika to gasp raggedly in response.
'I did make her suffer when I pulled out earlier to talk to her. I could feel it. She was standing there fidgety the whole time. It's a wonder she hasn't lost her self-control by now,' he thought to himself. He slung his arm around her waist, easing her off of the wall as he continued to speed up within her. He could feel her body shuddering each time he moved, and he couldn't help but smile knowing he was the one doing it to her. Rika wrapped her arms around his shoulders, positioning her fingers deep in his skin. It was the only thing she could do to stop herself from crying out in pleasure.
'I know someone's bound to be awake now. I can't chance being heard, and there's no way in hell I'm stopping now,' Rika told herself. "God...K - Kurama...you feel good..."
He could barely contain himself when she said those last three words. 'I feel good.' He looked down at her distressed face. She was silently begging for more, as was he. "You feel better, koi." She looked up at him, her lavender pools swimming in ecstasy. His self-control slipped even more when he saw her eyes. And somehow, Rika saw it in him. She smiled wickedly, a plot forming in her mind.
'I want to see how strong he is. I know this is cruel, but...I need to see for myself how much control he has.' She ran her hands down her own stomach, watching Kurama's eyes follow her down until she finally reached her destination. He almost stopped when he saw what she was about to do. She managed to slip the fingertips of her index and middle fingers partly inside of herself and move apart the folds of her womanhood. She felt him stiffen against her quickly, and hid a smile. She eyed him, and almost giggled at his expression. His eyes were wide and his mouth hung open in complete and utter shock. "Kurama..."
I wish she took this initiative with ME.
'Stay out of this. I...I don't know what to do here. This isn't like her.'
Then hell, I'LL take over. I sure as hell won't mind, especially NOW.
'NO! This is for me to do, not you.'
But you just said that you don't know what to do.
'Well, this isn't expected of her! I had no idea she'd do something like this!'
Of course not, but look at her. Can't you smell her arousal? Her demon blood is easily taking over her human blood without taking her other form. She wants you to the point of insanity, and that is why she acts in this manner. Why the hell haven't you taken her yet? Now would be a good time. Give in to her wants, as well as yours. You should stop denying me when you damn well know that I'm right about things like this.
'This is indescribable. I...'
Dammit Kurama, will you just TAKE her already?! If you would stop making stupid moves, I'd leave you alone.
'I'll...I'll figure out what to do in my own way.'
Feh, so be it. Kurama felt him disappear once more. He couldn't stop staring from her eyes down to her lower body. She remained still around him when he stopped.
"Kurama..." she started. Her eyes lowered warningly. "Do it."
'Damn,' he felt himself curse in his mind. "Rika, I..."
"Please, Kurama. I need you," she begged. "Onegai, koi." He didn't have to be asked twice after the way she pleaded with him. He sent himself into her once more, but felt his breath catch in his throat at this newly found pleasure. He was capable of reaching within her much deeper, her walls throbbing around him viciously. He leaned his head against her neck, placing open-mouthed kisses on the wet skin.
"I...need you too, Rika," he replied softly.
"You...better." She tried as hard as she could to not scream out, but she had no control over herself at that point. With Kurama's next thrust inside of her, she screamed out and dug her nails into Kurama's flesh. He groaned when he felt her do so, but it only caused him to keep going. Rika lowered her head and tightened her eyes closed, her chest heaving from her sharp breathing. 'Dammit...I need more...as if I can be any more demanding of him now...' She reached forward and nipped her tongue against the side of his mouth, and moved it down his neck to his collarbones. She kneaded a trail with her tongue, slowly taking in his taste.
Kurama moved around her, letting her reach wherever she wanted as he continued sliding within her. He could feel her scorching around him, and it only made him hunger her more. She started to move her hips in rhythm with him, causing the both of them to cry out in pleasure. Kurama opened his mouth to say her name, but nothing came out. He didn't have the energy to do so unless it be forced. One of his hands moved up her body and caressed her right breast. Rika's eyes shot open and her head extended back against the wall, trying to hold in another scream.
'It's like...last night. Even in this form...he tortures me...' she thought to herself. "Kurama...don't stop."
"I didn't plan on it," he answered huskily. He ran his fingers along her taut nipple, watching her stomach contract below his hand due to his touching. A purr-like sound erupted from within Rika's throat as Kurama continued to touch her and run himself inside of her faster and faster each time. "Rika." She looked up at him, his eyes melting her instantly. He moved his hand to her face, pulling her close to him. "Aishiteru." She closed her eyes for a moment, letting a few tears escape her eyes.
"I...I know. Aishiteru, Kurama," she sobbed softly. He leaned down and kissed her tears away just as he said he always would. From that position he moved his head on the side of her neck, nipping his lips on her earlobe. Rika was extremely brought off guard when Kurama sped up even more. She grew numb at his speed, feeling her end well up within her. Kurama heard a long, sharp gasp emit from her mouth after he sped up. "Kurama, I..." Kurama moved away and nodded, cutting her off.
"I know, Rika. I don't want you to hold back like last night," Kurama breathed, trying to calm himself down before attempting to soothe Rika. He lifted his hand shakily to her face, cupping her cheek in his palm. "Tell me when." Rika bit her bottom lip and nodded.
"Okay." She pushed herself against the wall and moved her hands to the top of his shoulders. Kurama smiled to himself as he saw the pleasured look on her face. It was what he wanted. She was happy, and that made him happy as well.
'She's beautiful, isn't she?'
Are you speaking to me?
'Yes, I am.'
That's impressive. That's the first time you've spoken to me willingly.
'But you agree with me, don't you?'
Of course I do. She's the most beautiful creature to ever grace the world. I would love to experience her again, but only when you are willing to let me free.
'I'm rather surprised at you for saying that. I'd expect you to take me over when I was most vulnerable.'
I've seen what you've done for her, and I won't stop it. Tell her again, Kurama. Tell her you love her, and nothing will touch your love for her. She belongs to you forever.
Kurama returned his attention to Rika's growing expression. She groaned, trying to hold in her screams. He shook his head and leaned in to her face. She looked up at him confusingly.
"Rika, don't hold back. Let yourself go. I won't have you torturing yourself," Kurama whispered.
"But Kurama, I...I'm..." She was cut off when Kurama pressed his lips gently against hers. Their tongues lapped together, tasting each other mildly. Rika had to pull away when she felt a scream rise up through her throat at Kurama's current thrust.
'She's ready,' Kurama noticed without her saying anything to him. "Rika, I'll always love you." She looked at him.
"I know." She lifted one of her legs and wrapped it around his waist, letting herself feel all of him at once. At that sensation, she shrieked his name and released herself around him in an explosion of pleasure that would never be forgotten. As he felt her essence sweep over him, he lost all of his control and poured himself into her warmth with a long moan. Rika's leg fell from his waist and she started to collapse from the weakness in her legs. Kurama wrapped his arms under hers, keeping her on her feet.
"Are you alright?" he asked with utter concern. 'She has to be exhausted if she nearly collapsed. Perhaps it would be best to put her back to bed.' She nodded and made a noise in response. She licked her lips and let herself rest against his chest, trying to regain her composure. Her arms slid up to his neck, trying to keep herself on his weight. He kept himself still inside of her, not wanting to move until she had the time to catch her breath.
"Gomen nasai," she finally rasped out. Kurama felt himself smile.
"Whatever for?" he inquired.
"I feel really weak. I can barely keep myself up without falling," she replied. "I don't mean to have to rely on you to keep my balance." He stroked her face, pushing strands of hair from her eyes.
"I think you should rest for awhile, koi," Kurama suggested. He slowly pulled himself out of her and moved to turn the water off. "Even if it's so early in the morning, your day has been tiring." He slid the curtain to the side and helped her out, making sure she didn't slip. Rika went to grab a towel, but he got it for her and wrapped it around her body. He did the same with himself while Rika kept herself up on wobbly legs. Kurama picked her up in his arms and carried her to the bed, sitting her down on it. "I'll get your clothes and help you dress." Rika didn't argue. She just nodded and let him rummage through her drawers for something comfortable to wear. He finally settled on light blue cotton shorts and a matching tanktop. She smiled when he walked over to the bed and set the clothes down, but went back to her drawers for her underwear.
"Kurama, you...you don't have to do this. I can dress myself," Rika pointed out as he helped her to stand.
"Nonsense, Rika. I want you to rest," Kurama informed as he slid her underwear up her legs and to her waist. "Does that feel alright?" She nodded and he grabbed her shorts, pulling them up over her waist. She took off her towel and lifted her arms, letting him put on her shirt as well. Kurama sat her back down on the bed and dressed himself. "You should rest for a little bit. I'll go and get started on breakfast. Everyone should be waking up very soon." He looked at her and gasped lightly to himself when he saw her face. She looked like she was about to cry. "Rika? Is something wrong?" He rushed to her side when she failed to answer. "Please tell me, koibito."
"Stay here with me for a little bit, Kurama. O - Onegai?" Kurama nodded immediately and helped her under the blanket. He crawled in as well and opened his arms, letting her slide into his chest. He closed his arms around her back, pulling her close to him. "I just want to lay with you for a few minutes."
"That's fine, Rika. I want to lay here with you, too," he remarked. She circled her finger on his clothed chest as they lay together in silence for the next few minutes. Kurama rested his chin on her head, sighing contently.
This is the way it should be, Kurama. The both of you together. I've done my job.
'What are you talking about? What job?'
You haven't realized it, but me being your unconscious, I knew immediately what you wanted. All of this time I have been trying to help you tell her how you felt and show it as you wanted to. You're very strong-willed, though, and it took me longer than it thought. But finally, I can rest easier in your spirit knowing that things are as they should be.
'If you are me, how did I not know of this?'
Because a part of you is Suichi Minamino. It was very easy to plot within your mind without you knowing, especially since you had other things to worry about. I am just relieved that this is all finished, and I can rest. I'm very tired from this, you know. You owe me.
'I see. I suppose there is nothing I can do about you because you are me. I can also rest easier knowing that Rika will be safe while with me. I'll do everything in my power to protect her.'
Yes, I know. I know that very well. And with that, Kurama's inner self disappeared, but on friendlier terms. Kurama smiled and looked down at Rika's resting form. Her breathing had slowed down to a regular rate, and he could feel her mouth slightly open against him. He played with her hair, relishing in the feel of it.
"Mine," he murmured to himself. "Forever. Rika is mine."
As she drifted to a soft sleep, Rika smiled. 'Kurama is mine. All of him.'
The End
