The Fox's Miko

“Speaking”
‘Thoughts’


Chapter 3
To Tell a friend

He arrived back home with his band of bandits before the sun reached the middle of the sky. This surprised him slightly because he should have arrived after that point ‘it must be all the energy’ he thought as an answer to why he was so fast. He walks silently into his home his men all sitting around the fire talking about the next heist they would go on. He continued on his way towards his chambers.


“So how was it?” the voice of his partner and best friend Konomaru (the bat) asked as he passed the open door to the bat’s room.


Turning he watches as his best friend walked up to him swinging his amulet while smirking cockily. “Worth every moment” Youko replied while his eyes took on a dreamy look as he remembers all the things they did and what she did to him.


Kuronue laughs “That good huh? Do tell I want details. It must have been one hell ova night for you to be sporting that look” he said as he followed Youko to his room to speak privately.


Youko opens the door to his room and allows Kuronue to pass before closing it behind him. “She was a virgin though you would never know it by the way she acted and things she did” she said the last part with a dramatic sigh wanting his friend to question that.


Taking the bait the bat asks “Things she did?” he was intrigued ‘what could she have done to him to make him this way?’


“Ahhhh, no female has ever done what she had to me. And now I wonder why I never thought of it. God it felt amazing” he said toying with his friend by answering and not answering at the same time.


“You are killing me with the suspense Youko! What did she do that has you acting like this?” Kuronue said in exasperation.


Chuckling Youko answered “She took me into her mouth mimicking the motions of sex until I was ready to cum. I would have right into her mouth had I not wanted to be inside her the first time I came. But god it felt so good to have her hot mouth move up and down my dick repeatedly I swore I could feel her throat around me still. But that was not even the best part. The first time she came her body began to glow with the pink light of her miko powers, at first I was nervous thinking she was to purify me but it did not hurt me. My youki came and absorbed the power she glowed with. Man I could not even describe how it felt; I was and still am filled with power. I had never before felt so powerful after the act of sex and feeding. I will see her again tomorrow night.”


Kuronue stood there in stunned silence “you want to meet her again?” he asked surprise clear in his tone. ‘Never before had Youko wanted to repeat one night stands.’ He thought in amazement ‘this onna must have been something special.’


“Ah Yes and maybe again after that. She was amazing” he answered while sitting on his bed.


“And you said she took you with her mouth? It was that good? Wow maybe I’ll try that” he said the last part while imagining some female going down on him.


“Yes and it was great” Youko said with a sigh.


“So let me guess. She wears the mark as a repeat doesn’t she?” Kuronue asked with a smirk.


Youko frowned before smirking again “No I was too caught up in the act at the time, but I will fix that over sight the next time we meet.” He said as they chuckled together.

It has been a week since the day she gave herself to Youko and he had returned every other night since then. It was not all sex between them anymore even though it was one of the activities of the night, no they talked but she never told him of her origins and he never asked thinking she was born in the village near where he met her. Things were going great between them and Kagome felt as if she could love him if she did not already. No one knew of her meeting with Youko except for Sango and she was sworn to secrecy when she was told.


Sango was not happy with her choice of lovers but kept her self quiet seeing how happy he made her soul sister. Sango watched as the love filled gazes that Inuyasha use to receive became nonexistent and wondered if it was the influence of the kitsune she heard so much about. One thing Sango was an avid believer of was that Kagome deserved happiness no matter how small or where it comes from, so she kept quiet and often provided cover stories for Kagome to meet her kitsune.


One day however when Youko came for his visit Kagome had news. Kagura had informed her and the group that Naraku would be out in 2 days and the final battle would commence. Kagome knew that this means either she would return home or die; she did not want to tell him but knew he had the right to know. So with this in mind she returned to the spring in order to tell him goodbye.

She was standing by the spring looking into the water thinking of what to tell Youko when he arrives when someone came from behind her and blocked her eyes then whispered “Guess who?”


Smiling Kagome turns while saying “Youko” before frowning again as she looked into his beautiful eyes.


Youko steps back seeing her frown and had one to match hers “What’s wrong Kagome why are you frowning?”


“We heard news of Naraku, the final battle for the jewel has come. If I live after the battle I am afraid the jewel will bring me back home or I die. I am the one who brought the Shikon back after it was burned with its last guardian I am unsure as to what would happen to me once the battle is over. I guess what I am saying is this may be the last time we see each other. I wish things could be different but once my reason for being here is gone so am I, and that reason now is the Shikon without it I have no reason, no tie to this land. I needed you to know, but I don’t want this to ruin our last night together!” Kagome said the last part latching on to Youko in an intimate embrace.


“Leaving?” he whispers not knowing what else to say. His mind swam with things he could say things he wanted to say, but he would not. He was not that type of youkai and she knew it all to well. He was not the type to sprout words of love to anyone and they had agreed to become lovers and nothing more. But what he was feeling now was strange, it felt like someone is squeezing his heart and it hurts. He could not bare it so he did the only thing he could do “It matters not we both knew this was not forever we had agreed to such. If you must leave then leave I care not.” He said turning his back to her once after she let him go.


Kagome released him after her first sentence with a hurt gasp and was fighting to keep her tears at bay with his second. “You never cared did you?” she asked in a low voice her hurt clear in her voice.


“No and I must be going” he said before he walked back into the forest the way he came.


Once she could no longer feel his aura she collapsed to her knees and cried. She cried for love she felt and once again not being returned. She cried for the unknown and uncertain. She cried until her tears dried up and she fell asleep.

He did not know why he said all those things when he knew he did not mean them, but she hurt him and it was in his nature to hurt her back. It was the middle of the night when he arrived back home and his men were all asleep.


“Why back so early? Did she stand you up?” Kuronue asked with a teasing laugh. He knew his friend cared for the miko but he did not know how deeply he cared.


“I will no longer be returning to the miko. She no longer excites me” he said in a tone meant to say conversation over.


Kuronue however was not afraid of his friend but allowed the conversation to drop. He would question Youko tomorrow.


4 days had gone by and Youko had done nothing but sulk. He did not want to pull any heists or see any females. He spent his days and nights within his room only leaving to bath, eat, or relieve him self. Kuronue was getting frustrated he did not understand why his friend was acting like this and he had enough of this attitude!

“Return to the miko Youko! You obviously still want her otherwise you would not be acting like this” Kuronue stated while standing in the door of Youko’s chambers looking at the fox sitting on his bed.


“She is gone. The night I returned she told me that the final battle of the Shikon was coming and if she did not die then she would be sent home. She is gone and is not coming back so she does not matter” Youko said turning to Kuronue he looked like he had no slept in weeks. And worst of all Youko knew he was in love with the miko and now she was gone.


“Get off your ass and go to that village and get your miko! We are sick and tired of your lazy ass sitting in this room day in and day out. You will march down there and get your onna or I will drag you by your ears!” he said not listening to the excuses Youko gave he knew he was this way because he wanted and cared for the miko.


“YOU DON’T UNDERSTAND!” he yelled before he calmed “She is gone. She is not from around here and she had gone home and I was to stupid to ask where she lived when I was to upset!” Youko said looking away from his best friend look at the wall.


“You love her don’t you?” Kuronue asked in a low tone like it was a secret.


“No one knows me better then you my friend. Yes I fear I am in love with the miko and during our last meeting I told her she meant nothing to me. So if she dies during this battle, she will die thinking I never cared for her.” He whispered feeling like shit.


“Well shit man must I spell things out for you? She had friends right?” Kuronue asked and watches as Youko nods “Then go to her friends and find out what happened to her. If she did not die then her friends would know where she went right?” Kuronue said while swinging his amulet before continuing “And I will go with you” he finished before turning and walking away.


Youko and Kuronue both set out to the miko’s village to find out what happened to the miko.

When Kagome woke the next morning she swore to herself that she would not allow yesterday to cloud her mind. The fight against Naraku was coming and she could not afford distractions. Kagome then at that moment steeled herself and buried her feeling before heading back to camp knowing Inuyasha would want to leave in order to make it to the destination on time to finish this.


The days past by fast and finally the battle was upon them it was time for all this to end. The day started as all other, nothing special to signify what the day could actually mean, and it was all as well.


“Naraku” Inuyasha growled alerting the rest of the group to whom he smelled. The groups reactions were immediate as everyone took a fighting stance and Kagome notched an arrow.


The sky blackened with the swarm of thousands of youkai all at once they came racing towards them.


Naraku watched from the shadows with sadistic glee as his youkai weakened his enemies. He wanted the last shard and Kagome was the one who had it. He knew if he was to get it he had to get at her.


“IEEEEEEE” Kagome screams as she was grabbed by tentacle and wrenched across the field.


“Kagome!” Inuyasha screamed as he watched Naraku pull her across the field. He made a move to jump and cut her free when a swarm of youkai intercepted his attack “NO! KAGOME”


“Kagome” Sango screamed as she ran towards Naraku Hiraikotsu ready. She throws it threw the air towards Naraku but he jumps out of the way of the attack missing the come back as well.


“Kagome-sama” Miroku yelled but he could not get to her. He turned to see Shippo on his shoulder watching in fear as tears welled in his eyes “Kagome” Shippo whispers.


“Ku ku ku look at what I caught. A useless miko with the last Shikon shard!” he said grabbing the bottle from her and braking it in his hand grabbing the last shard.


“No!” Kagome yells as she watches in despair as he completes the jewel. ‘Oh god’ she thought as she realized what she had to do. She knew she would probably die for doing this, so she send a prayer to the gods and wrapped her hands around Naraku’s while trying to pull on her powers.


A blinding pink light flared throughout the clearing blinding all those within and when the light died down Naraku and Kagome was gone. The ash now blowing within the wind was the only indicatation that they were there in the first place.


“God Kagome!” Sango yelled dropping to her knees crying the loss of her sister.


Kagome died and everyone left alive on the clearing cried. Sango, Miroku, Shippo and Inuyasha left the battle field victorious but not happy. The price for winning was too high.


They returned to the village to tell of the loss and victory against the hanyou Naraku. A shrine was made in the memory of the sacrifice Kagome made for them all. Inuyasha had tried to go down the well to tell her parents but the well blocked his entrance, with the miko dead the well was no longer needed as a passage way. Kagome died taking the jewel and Naraku with her.

When Youko and Kuronue made it to the village Kagome’s scent was no where to be found. They walked into the village knowing that her friends would soon come to confront them.


“Youkai what is your business here” the voice of Miroku asked as he Sango, Shippo, and Inuyasha walked towards the edge of the village.


Youko stepped forward “I came in search of the miko Kagome”


“What the fuck do you want with her!” Inuyasha yelled unsheathing his Tessaiga and transforming it.


“Inuyasha wait” Sango yelled and Inuyasha stopped in his tracks.


Inuyasha turns to Sango “What the hell”


Sango ignores him, she looks intently at the fox youkai recognizing him as the youkai Kagome told her about. “You” Sango said pointing to Youko “Are you Youko?” she asks and watches as he nods.


“I’m sorry but Kagome died in battle a yesterday. She took Naraku’s life losing hers in the process. I’m sorry; I know she cared for you a lot” Sango said in a subdued tone looking at the now crushed kitsune in front of her.


“Sango what the fuck is going on here? How does this fox know Kagome?” Inuyasha yelled approaching Sango with a furious face.


“Youko was her lover and has been for the last few weeks or so.” Sango replied now looking at the reddening face of Inuyasha.


“LOVER!! Why the hell am I just hearing about this now!” he yelled in her face before turning to kick the fox’s ass only to find him and the other youkai gone.


“it was not your business. He made her happy something you could not.” Sango said while she turned and stormed back towards the village Miroku and Shippo following.


“COME BACK HERE!” Inuyasha yelled not happy that he was kept out of the loop. ‘How could Kagome have a lover? I thought she loved me?’ he thought in confusion before he jumped into his tree to sulk and grieve in peace.


When Kuronue heard the onna said she died he knew he had to get his friend out of there. He put his hand on Youko’s shoulder turning his attention to him. He motions with his head that it was time to leave and took off with Youko following.


‘Dead? She’s dead?’ over and over that ran through his mind as his body reacted for him and followed his friend through the forest.


Kuronue stopped a good distance from the village with no other village any where near to speak in private with his friend. “How are you Youko?” he asked with concern.


“Dead” he whispered ‘no she can’t be dead’ he denied knowing the truth, she was after all only human.


Centuries past and while his life moved on his heart did not, he could not come to love another. There were many in his bed but none in his heart, he did not think he could ever love again.


It is said that a youkai will only love once and when that love is gone they will never love again.
