Prompt: Passion

--

He’d been eyeing her for weeks after her declaration of love.

He wasn’t sure exactly how to proceed with this. Should he accept her? So far, the only thing keeping him from having relations was the fact that she was a human.

He’d been silently pondering the idea of having a human mate. She would age, and would eventually die. He would be alone, once again, and would suffer until the day he too would pass on.

He could revive her with Tenseiga… but he could only do so once. She would be with him for possibly a century, giving the life-span of average humans. He would live far longer than a hundred years, however.

Although…

…she wasn’t an average human. In fact, she was a miko, and a very powerful one at that. Was it possible that he could extend her life, as well?

He mused on the idea for a moment, remembering when his father had been searching for a way for Izayoi to live. He had come close to an answer when she became pregnant… but the change in events forced him to wait until the baby was born, or it will kill them both.

‘So… it is possible, then?’ He questioned, glancing over to the miko with a curious expression. Was it really necessary for him to have a demoness? Would he bend the rules and mate a powerful miko?

She screeched loudly, breaking his though of concentration. His eyes focused to the cause of her distress, and saw that a boar youkai was running full speed towards her and the kitsune. Without hesitation, he jumped from his position and unleashed his poison whip, slashing at the youkai with ease. Just as he struck the boar, he felt a slight tingle of reiki coming from the girl as she attempted to create a barrier around herself and Shippou.

His body tingled slightly, but this was different than the last time… When they had been battling, she used her powers to strike towards him. This time… she was using her reiki to protect others. He didn’t feel as if his being were on fire, but instead, felt slightly aroused as his youki swelled up inside of him, clashing against her own aura.

She gasped slightly, her eyes meeting his golden orbs. He couldn’t help but look to her slightly parted lips, raising a slender brow towards her.

The sight was quite erotic to him, given the circumstances. He turned himself away from her, continuing his pace as if nothing had ever happened. She looked back to him, confused, but followed along with the rest of the group.

He said nothing for the rest of that day, too lost in thought to even focus on their random conversations. He was still unsure if he would even mate the girl, but he had agreed on one thing.

If she could make his body feel so pleasurable doing other acts, he would definitely find a way to lengthen her lifespan.

He grinned, chuckling softly as he took a clawed hand to his silver tresses, letting them caress the wind.

‘Yet another requirement… passed.’

I didn’t want to be too forward with this, since they’re not all lovey-dovey, but I wanted to kind of move things forward. ^^

Hope you enjoyed it!
