Mending a broken heart
Chapter 7: Surprise
(Dream)
Youko gently reached his hand out and patted her on the head. He knew it would add insult to injury, but he wanted to be as convincing as possible, and it would be the last contact he would have with her for a while. "Don't worry. Your heart will eventually heal. Time heals all things..."
At that statement, he had assumed she would have something to say, but he was met with silence. Youko had only said it because he figured it would make her angry enough to keep some sort of memory of him alive. He figured even if she thought about him in anger, he would still be on her mind.
"And Kuronue?"
He had been waiting for that question. He knew that she would be curious to know if he also shared his feelings on the matter of her humanity.
He didn't. He was so against it, but she need not know that.
Youko turned to look at the horizon.
"He's gone."
From his peripheral vision he could see her shoulders sag even more at the news.
"Oh,"
"I stayed behind to tell you goodbye, and he wanted to, but I advised against it."
He turned to see her eyes closed, tears cascading down her cheeks in streams. If her eyes would have been open, she would have seen the brief look of pain that passed over his demonic features before he quickly masked his emotions.
It was time for the killing blow.
"Goodbye, Kagome,"
-----------------------------------
Shuichi jolted awake. His brow damp and his bed in disarray.
His heart pounded violently against his ribs. He turned to look at his clock. It was already eleven o'clock in the morning.
Shuichi yawned and rubbed his eyes to clear the last remaining bits of sleep away.
He could feel Youko already stirring in the recesses of his mind, restless, anxious, and slightly worried.
He had been like that for the last few days.
At first Youko had been hesitant to share this part of his past with Shuichi. He had wanted to covet all of the memories he had of Kagome to himself. To Youko it was all he had left of her and being a rather possessive fox had been hard for him to get over. However, he finally came to the conclusion that he would be willing to share aspects of his past as it was important for Shuichi to understand.
For Shuichi it was like he had been there, and for Youko it was like reliving the situation all over again but each and every time more painful than the last.
"Red," Youko's tone was hard to place. Shuichi had never heard him use that sort of tone before. It was like he was almost pained. "The other day wasn't a dream was it?"
"What?" Shuichi was confused. It was too early for his games.
"The other day," Youko repeated cautiously. "It wasn't a dream was it?"
Shuichi didn't answer immediately. He was contemplating on how to phrase the words he knew the Spirit Fox so desperately wanted to hear.
While it wasn't in his nature to be malicious, he desperately wanted to tease his counterpart, but he knew there was a time and place for such games.
"No, it wasn't. It was real."
Shuichi frowned and rubbed his jaw.
"We have the bruise to show for it."
He could feel Youko's grin.
"You do understand that we are going to be in trouble with Reikai for what you did right?" Shuichi broached the subject as they had yet to discuss it.
Youko growled.
"Not to mention Yusuke, Hiei, and Kuwabara are no doubt pissed that we left in the middle of the battle."
"They will get over it." Youko stated simply.
"And Koenma?" Bringing attention back to the more pressing of the two parties.
"What can the little prince really do to us?"
Shuichi didn't want to admit it, but there was plenty that the little princeling could do to them if he felt so inclined.
Before Shuichi had the time to press the issue further, as he was of course the more rational of the two, a figure climbed in through his window.
Long black hair cascaded over a pale shoulder as indigo eyes danced with a merriment that the young avatar had only been witness to once before.
"I was wondering when you were going to get up." There was a slight tease behind the words, and it did not go unnoticed.
Youko pushed forward.
At this moment he wished he did not have to share a body with Shuichi.
"Can I help it if this one sleeps like a rock when I share bits of my past with him?" A fang poked out from behind very human lips.
A soft snort was heard.
"No, but as you share a body shouldn't you be more aware of your surroundings?"
Youko raised a brow.
"That is what you taught me all those years ago was it not?"
Youko out right laughed. He had been caught there. He supposed he was still feeling a bit off from the events of last week, but that was no excuse. He was after all the Great Youko Kurama. Now his reputation was on the line, and he would have no one dirtying it. At least not if he had anything to say about it.
"That would be true," Youko pushed forward even more, transforming in the blink of an eye, and Shuichi was helpless to prevent the transformation. "If you were of any threat" He challenged, he loved seeing the fire light behind the blue orbs.
Youko ran a hand through his long locks, readying himself to apologize.
"I am relieved the other day wasn't a dream. I'm not sure what I would do if it was."
Before Youko could continue with his speech, a fist made contact with his face and he swore he saw stars.
"What was that for?" He hissed, his hand coming up to cradle the abused flesh.
"The last time I saw you were quite the ass. I thought you deserved some sort of punishment."
He chuckled. He supposed that was true.
"I promise not to hit you again. At least until you deserve it."
Youko huffed.
"You better be glad I missed you," Youko shifted his gaze to the left. "Kuronue."
The bat youkai grinned.
"How could you not?"
A/N: Thank you to everyone who reviewed last chapter! I really appreciate it! Any feedback will definitely be appreciated. Thank you once again for checking out my story and or keeping with it. You guys are the best!
Trelweny Rosephoenixwolf: I hope some of your questions were answered with this chapter. I shall explain all in the next few chapters :P you have some wonderful questions!
VirusYoukaiChild: I am glad you find this story intriguing! I hope I can keep you interested. Don't worry. I can definitively say that Yomi is not in love with Kagome. Yomi will be making areappearance in the next few chapters. I am still trying to outline when he will be coming back into the story.
loretta537: I am sorry Kagome wasn't in this chapter. She should be up and about in the next one :)
Cosmic-lover: You are far too kind! I am glad you like the story
Isla1212: lol yep I am definitely going to try and answer some of these burning questions within the next few chapters.
Walnut43: I figured they might bond over Kagome, so it would be a good chance to let them have some story space
Snowcoveredcamellias: I am trying to tie that in to next chapter (cross your fingers)
Shootingstar77: yes, I keep going back and forth on how I want Shippo to find out and react to the whole ordeal. His whole hero-worship ideal of Youko will definitely be shattered when he finds out the truth.
Lillypad14: I love Shippo! I am so happy you liked the chapter
