Disclaimer: I doubt buying the manga and DVDs count as owning anything...
Panting, Kurama collapsed forward atop his bedmate. Sweat-slicked chests heaved against each other as the darker youkai lifted his arms and looped them loosely around his lover's neck. Drinking in the sent of the one pressed up against him, his cobalt eyes stared unseeingly at the ceiling of the cave.
It was times like these that the silver chain around his neck almost seemed to choke him with his own highly-focused rage. His eyes moved to the bloody coloured pit where he had pushed all his spite long ago. It looked so innocent, glinting in the candle light, almost beautiful. But he knew--oh how he knew--the sort of terrors that he had forced that jewel to accept. It kept him sane, and it kept him needy.
The desperation for revenge, for never loosing his release, for the need to whipe the very realities of what happened from his mind forever so that never again did he have to loose himself in the pain he locked away in that stone.
The weight on his chest shifted and he felt Kurama pull out of him as his eyes flashed away from the red to the other side of his neck where a very different kind of pain lay. He was never quite sure if this pain was better or worse, but he knew he was just as addicted and that for this pain there was only one true cure.
"I will make you say it."
Kurama lifted his head up to look down at the bat. "Say...?"
Staring into the pools of molten gold above him, he spoke with confidence and determination. "That you love me. I will make you say it, no matter how long it takes."
Kurama gave a tired groan that sounded suspiciously like 'this again?' as he rolled off his apprentice to the pile of tussled furs that made his bed. "If I ever do fall in love with you, then I will say it, but not before. You'll just have to live with that."
"No... I don't want you to say it if it's not what you feel in your core. But I will make you say it one day. You'll say it, and you'll mean it, and then you'll love me forever and never look to another again. Because I will be your one and only, just as you are mine, and there will be no one happier in all the worlds."
Kurama's soft snort was his only reply for a long while. "It must be nice being able to live in a delusion like that." the silvery youko finally said.
"It's not a delusion. It's the future." Kuronue insisted, his cobalt eyes steeling under the half-hearted ridicule.
"Oh? And since when have you become a prophet?" teased the fox.
"I will make it reality. I will make you love me, make you say it. And when you do, you will love me until the end of time." turning his head, he clenched the pendant within a white-knuckled grasp and stared into the faces he had locked away within the stone long, long ago. "I will make my dreams come true. I will be the victorious one, and I will be happy. Just you watch me."
"Oh, I intend to." Kurama answered for the faces in the jewel, eyes closed and listening to his apprentice's borderline insanity. He wasn't one to judge, though. There were few in this world who could make it to adulthood without some scars on their sanity. And it wasn't like the bat was raving mad, or homocidal. As a whole he was quite honest and gentle. He just did things in odd ways and became obsesive over weird things.
And after all, that strangeness about him was the whole reason Kurama kept him around in the first place. And so with that simple reassurance the youko drifted into sleep, leaving his mentally-scarred bedmate chasing monsters within his own mind.
