Sight Of The Blind

Chapter Ten

"Here we are." Kurama led her to the training grounds, it was full of youkai. He felt her tense beside him, he gave her hand a squeeze. "I won't let anything happen to you."

"Thanks, I guess."

"Were you interested in anything in particular? What kind of training have you had?" He noticed she hadn't let go of his hand yet.

"A little fighting and I'm okay with a sword besides my archery of course. I don't really care for a sword though." She felt dozens of eyes staring at her, some with curiousity others with hatred. "Didn't have much of a selection where I was training."

"I see. Have you ever tried a whip?"

"Is that an honest question or are you being nasty?" She flipped her hair over her shoulder looking up at him. Damn he was tall.

"An honest question I assure you. With your energy you could turn a whip into a very deadly weapon. Would you like to learn?"

"Are you offering to teach me?" Why would he want to help her? She wasn't sure if she could trust him. Then again if he wanted her dead he could have already killed her she was sure.

"Yes, I am if you wish. It will help pass the time unless you have something else you'd rather learn." He waited for her to decide, hoping she'd say yes. It would give him a reason to be around her. She needed another weapon besides that bow also.

"Okay. When do we start?"

"In the morning, I will come get you from your room. We will come before the others get here that way we can be alone."

She lifted her brow at that comment, "Excuse me."

"I don't think it would be wise to train you in a room full of youkai. They wouldn't like it much."

"Oh okay." She felt relief and disappointment at the same time. His hand tightened on hers and she looked down. She hadn't even noticed that their hands were still linked. A blush spread across her face, "Wanna let go of my hand now?"

"No."

Her face got redder, she didn't know what to say about that. She didn't have to comment, he started to lead her away and back out the room. Was he hitting on her? 'He has to be hitting on me. I'm not sure if I like that.' Deciding the tension was too much she tried to strike up a conversation. "Do you think it will be possible for me to see my family anytime soon?"

"Do you wish to go see them?"

"Yes, I'd like to go."

"I will see what I can do. Yomi may allow me to take you back for a visit when I go to visit my mother." Kurama thought it was a great idea. It would give him an excuse to get her away from here and alone.

"Thank you, I'd appreciate it. So what should I call you?"

"Yours." He laughed at her wide eyed expression. "You may call me Kurama, Kagome."

"I would call you late." Yome interrupted them, he was standing down the hallway looking rather pissed. "I believe you have somewhere you should be."

The fox sighed in disappointment, he'd forgotten he was suppose to report to Koenma. "I'll see you in the morning." He kissed her on the back of her hand and smiled.

She blushed and nodded. He was a sly one, she'd have to try and keep her distance. She watched him walk away until she was left alone with Yomi. Not wanting to deal with him she turned on her heels to walk away.

"Stop. Come with me."

The thought of telling him to go to hell crossed her mind. She didn't like being around him, it didn't feel right. He was standing there almost scowling at her and for some reason she felt like touching him. Maybe he had knocked a few marbles loose when he'd smacked her. "Fine." She followed behind him once more, she was starting to feel like a puppy.

He led her into his room, she stepped inside not too sure of herself. He nodded towards the bed, "Sit."

She did as told not wanting to fight with him. "So what do you want?"

"To talk." He sat in the chair across from the bed, his attention focused on her. "Answer me this do you feel anything?"

"What do you mean?" She felt like running out the room, did that count?

"I'm asking do you feel anything from the bond we now share? Do you have any idea what it entails?"

"Hell no, do I look like I go around putting spells on people? The least I know of youkai the happier I am." She shouted.

"That's a damn shame considering you are stuck with me. I am sure you are feeling the same yearnings as I?" He crossed his legs, he could feel her fear.

"I don't feel anything, so get over yourself." She pointed a finger at him, how the hell did he know that she felt like testing how it would feel to sit in his lap?

"Really? I find that hard to believe. You are nothing more than a silly human girl. I should have let him kill me instead of being stuck with someone as ignorant as you. I will slowly go insane while you wallow in your own stupidity." His aura flared causing her to jump back. He felt like choking the girl. He'd just sent a willing female out his room to go find her. He'd felt the urges tugging at his body so he'd found someone willing to satisfy his lust. He'd taken the girl brutally not that she complained. After finishing, the urges were still there and he realized it was more than sexual. There was a need to touch her, hold her. He'd sent the other woman out in a rage.

"Go to hell," She jumped off the bed and went for the door. She didn't have to put up with his insults. She didn't reach it as his arms went around her pulling her against his chest. A gasp tore through her at the sensation. It caused something inside her to start aching. "What's happening?"

"If is a side effect of the bonding. Your soul and your body craves mine and it will only get worse the longer you deny it." He had one arm wrapped around her keeping her arms pinned to her sides. He brought a hand down to caress the bare skin along her shoulder. He smelt her scent spike and felt his body respond in kind.

She didn't want to accept that, she didn't want him. Yet her body leaned into his touch, enjoying it. Could he be telling the truth? Where did that leave her? What did he want from her? She took a deep breath, "What do you want from me?"

"Let me touch you."
