Unable to fight the need thumping under his skin, Toya turned around and pulled her into his warm embrace⦠then, just as quickly, he let go of her, taking a step back and hanging his head in silent defeat.
âDo we have to talk about this right now?" Toya glanced up at her, only to swiftly look away from her curious gaze.
Kyoko sighed. "This is what I was afraid of, you jerk. You canât even look me in the eyes anymore. You hated the kiss so much that now you donât want anything to do with me, right?" she balled her fist up at her sides and lifted her chin up a notch to show defiance. "Well, I donât care what you think of me. Just because you didnât like kissing me, doesnât mean others wonâtâ¦"
Before she knew what happen, she was crushed in Toyaâs arms and his lips were taking hers fiercely. She dug her fingers into his hair in an effort to keep her weak knees from buckling under her.
He wanted her, frighteningly so at times. Toya tried to get himself back under control. It was just that when sheâd mentioned others liking her kiss, it made him want to make her forget the other kisses. He released her lips, their eyes locked in a silent war and a wave of possessiveness rushed through him.
"Kyoko, I do like your kisses." His gaze dropped back to the pink lips heâd just let have their freedom.
Kyoko felt her heart strain toward Toya, needing him. No matter what, she could never stay mad at him. She searched his golden gaze seeing the silver glittering there, trying to fight for dominance but something was needling her senses⦠telling her they werenât alone.
Toya felt Kyoko tense up and thought it was because he had told her he liked her kisses until he felt her lean and look behind him. He let go of her, turning quickly, not knowing what to expect.
Shadows within the darkness took shape with distorted movements. "Shadow demons? Here?" He whispered. Just as he said the words, the shadows begin to flee as if taunting him to follow them.
"Go back to the camp with the others where itâs safe." He pointed in the direction of the camp then took off through the forest not wanting to lose them. He could only sense two of them but it was still not a good sign that theyâd been spying on Kyoko. It made him wonder if Hyakuhei was closer than they all thought him to be.
Kyoko didnât have time to say anything before he vanished from sight so she took off in the direction of the camp, thinking maybe he didnât want to be around her. After all, it was only a couple lowborn shadow demons and in such a small number they were virtually harmless.
âThatâs fine!â Kyoko quietly ranted. âJust fine⦠The next time he even thinks of kissing me Iâm gonna deck him.â She pasted a smile on her face as she walked into camp.
Kamui was the first to see Kyoko and he quickly closed the distance between them, grabbing her in a welcoming hug. "Look guys, Kyoko's back!" He gave her a kiss on the cheek and a wink.
Suki smiled, happy to see she was finally back but Shinbe narrowed his eyes at the kiss Kamui had just snuck in there. What the hell was that boy thinking? Toya would kill him first.
"Iâm sorry I made you guys wait so long but Iâm back now and Iâm fine with what happen so, no worries, okay? Oh and I brought you guys some goodies too.â She put her backpack in front of her and started rummaging through it, handing out their favorites to each of them.
They all sat there, smiling, eating goodies, and drinking soda like they didnât have a care in the world. All except for Shinbe, who looked off into the forest wondering what had been so important to make Toya leave Kyokoâs side.
*****
Toya followed the two shadow demons, knowing they were purposely leading him away from the others. He didnât care if it was a trap and almost hoped it was⦠with the mood he was in. Seeing the shadow demons fade into the ground right in front of him, Toya growled as he skidded to a stop.
Before he could do anything, the wind picked up to a level that could only mean one thing. Amni, Hyakuheiâs pet demon that had the ability to use wind magic was behind the summoning. âShow yourself, you bastard.â
Amni descended as the winds swirled around him, its currents obeying his command. His lips hinted at a smile while his long blond hair swayed in the breeze as the wind died down to a softer pace.
âThe priestess makes you weak, guardian.â Amni gripped his wind sword and changed angles with a downward stroke, releasing a powerful gust straight at Toyaâs feet to cause dirt and debris to fly up into his face. âOr is it her lips that make you weak?â He taunted, wanting Toyaâs full attention for what he was about to say.
The twin daggers slid into Toya's palms and he quickly crossed them just as the debris flew at him only to turn to ash as it touched the barrier heâd created with the blades. Looking through the electric blue swirls of the barrier, Toyaâs eyes narrowed on the underling that followed his uncle, wondering just what he was up to.
