�Please Kurama,� Sam pleaded, her hands clasped together under her chin.
He sighed and sat down on the couch, �I already told you no.�
She stood in front of him, �but why not?�
He smiled up at her, �I don�t want to put you in danger.�
She sat on the coffee table facing him, �but I won�t be in danger, I can take care of myself.�
�The words are better safe then sorry,� he said leaning back.
�I swear, you are so infuriating,� she stood up and turned to leave but caught her foot on the carpet. She tumbled down and fell right on top of Kurama.
�You all right?� he asked holding her lightly.
Sam blushed, �yeah I�m fine.�
He put his hand lightly against her cheek, �you sure?� She nodded, her cheeks growing redder and redder.
�I�ll be ok,� she barely whispered.
He smirked, �you look like a tomato.�
She scowled, �I do not.�
�A very attractive, sexy, and enticing tomato,� he whispered softly.
Her eyes widened slightly as she stared at him, �excuse me?�
He softly kissed her lips, �I�ve been wanting to do that all day.�
She smiled, �just that?�
He chuckled, �hmm maybe not.� He pulled her close as he kissed her again, intensifying the soft kiss.
~About time! I was super close to just taking over and kissing her myself.~
*Oh would you shut up we�re kissing her aren�t we?*
~Yes and I definitely like her lips.~
*There�s more to her then lips.*
~You�re right like hips and bre-- ~
*Don�t even finish that word.*
~Maybe but you�re thinking it too, or haven�t you noticed where your hand is?~
Kurama stopped talking to Yoko long enough to notice one hand was definitely on her butt and one was working its way upward. She didn�t seem to care, completely content in his arms.
�I like you a lot,� Sam whispered as their lips separated.
�I like you too, � he smiled holding her close, �you don�t think Yusuke will kill me for this do you?�
�Nah,� she giggled, �he�ll just cause bodily harm.�
He raised an eyebrow, �well that�s reassuring.� He flipped her so he was lying over her on the couch and smiled.
�What are you smiling at?� she asked as her arms wrapped around his neck.
He smirked, �I just realized how much I like you like this.�
She blushed, �pervert.�
He chuckled, �that would be Yoko my dear, not me precisely.� She only blushed a deeper red. He nuzzled her neck and softly kissed it.
�Aren�t you technically Yoko?� she whispered.
�Who cares about being technical?� he asked nibbling her neck, �you forgot about leaving didn�t you?�
�What?� she hissed.
He raised an eyebrow and looked at her, �what? What happened?�
She scowled, �you did this just to distract me?�
He smiled, �no that was just a perk, I did this for myself.�
�Oh,� she mumbled as he continued to kiss her neck, then back up to her lips.
�See,� he said between kisses, �this�is�much�better�.then�looking�for�Sai.�
Hey eyes widened and she lightly pushed him off, �oh wait I just thought of something.�
�What?� he said slightly annoyed as she got up off the couch.
�I know this spell,� she explained taking a book out from her bag, �it�s supposed to be for tracking down things.�
He gave her a curious look, �excuse me?�
�I should have thought of this sooner,� she mumbled, �I can be such an idiot sometimes I swear.�
He put a hand over hers, �what are you talking about?�
She calmed down and looked at him, �have you ever wondered why the miko who protects the Jewel of Power has such a weird spirit energy?�
He shrugged, �a little but I never pondered it long enough to try and figure it out.�
�It�s because of the jewel itself,� she explained, �it has such a unique energy that it distorts the spirit energy of the miko.�
�So you�re weird energy is the cause of being around the jewel too much?� he asked sitting next to her.
She nodded, �pretty much. It�s not harmful but it does have an affect on me to a degree.�
He raised an eyebrow, �how does it affect you?�
�There are certain things I can�t do because of my distorted spirit energy,� she continued as she searched through the book in front of her, �like I can�t do the spirit gun or things like that, I have to use a weapon.�
�All right,� Kurama said still slightly confused, �and that�s it?�
Sam paused, �well that�s the down part the good part is I�m really good at spells and wards and those kind of things.�
�I still don�t get where you�re going with this,� he said looking at the book she was flipping through.
�In this book is a spell to find things based on their energy,� she explained.
His eyes widened as he understood what she meant, �and you want to use it to find the jewel!�
She nodded, �exactly, it will show me exactly where the jewel and Sai is.�
He frowned, �maybe we should wait till the guys get back to do this spell so they can track the jewel.�
She looked at him with pleading eyes, �please help me with this, I need to fix what I messed up.�
He pressed his lips together, �I don�t want you to get hurt. I care a lot about you too.�
She put her hands lightly in his, �trust me I can take care of myself, I�ve taken care of myself for years and years before you guys showed up.�
He smiled and pulled her up to standing, �all right but you have to promise me you�ll stay close so I can keep you safe.�
She smiled, �well of course.�
He frowned, �I�m not kidding, I want to make sure you�re safe.�
She laughed, �all right all right, I promise to be good.�
He looked at her critically, �and no fighting Sai.�
She pouted, �party pooper.� He frowned making her laugh, �ok I promise.�
He nodded his approval, �all right do the spell.�
�About time you agreed with me!� she teased opening up the book.
�So what is this spell going to do?� he asked as she placed the book on a higher table so she could read it.
�It�s going to give us a bouncing ball to follow,� she explained placing her hands correctly for the spell.
He raised an eyebrow, �a bouncing ball?�
She nodded, �you�ll see.� She closed her eyes and concentrated. A barrier of energy surrounded both of them then retreated, �find what has been lost, take me to that which must be found go through barriers and worlds to retrieve the Jewel of Power!� The room was covered in a white light. When their eyes opened they saw a small glowing ball in front of them.
He gave a soft laugh, �well what do you know?�
She smiled, �yep now come on let�s follow it before the spell wears off.� He nodded and followed the miko who was already following the ball of energy. Yusuke was going to kill him for this one.
