The Key

The Proposal

San woke up with a smile on her face. She was wrapped warmly in her lovers embrace, and she couldn't be happier. His scent was calming, making her feel perfectly at ease. She didn't even want to get up, but damn those bodily functions that make one get out of bed. She sighed, turning to kiss her mate who had not awoken yet. He was so peaceful, she didn't want to move. He would wake up the minute she stepped out of bed, that much she knew. In the long run, she knew it'd be better that she didn't pee in the bed. It would be a much worse awakening if she did. Even wolves did their business outside of the den. Trying to use as many light movements as possible, she managed to get out of her mate's arms and into the on suite bathroom. One look at that bathtub and she thought she'd wet herself right there. It was huge! She definitely had to make time for that.

Once she was finished up, she started to run the water, knowing for sure that she would need it. When she returned to the bedroom, however, she noticed that Kurama was no longer in the bed. Frowning slightly, she looked to see if he was on balcony, but he wasn't. She began to look around for him, not even bothering to put clothes on. It wasn't like anyone could see in the windows with the sun in the sky anyway, not to mention how high up they were. She saw her mate in the kitchen, pouring himself a drink. She leaned against the wall with a sly look on her face, waiting for him to notice her. Unlike her, he had actually tried to hide his manhood, which was what she was mostly smirking at. Humans were such silly creatures.

"I hear you've discovered the bath," said Kurama, a mischievous look in his eye. She only winked at him, before utilizing her human body and walking back towards the bedroom. The water would be done by now anyway. She knew he was following her, as she got right in without another thought. Leaning her head back, she felt perfectly at ease. That was, until something happened that made her jump. The water was bubbling, one jet in particular reaching a spot on her back that sent her head swimming back to its previous state. Her eyes were closed this time when she leaned her head back, enjoying this wonderful sensation. She felt her mate's lips on her own, knowing that he had joined her. How nice it was to have such peace and quiet. Perhaps living like a human wasn't going to be so bad after all.

...

San's venture into the human side of her was something she greatly regretted. Being a human was extremely boring. The first day Kurama had school, she was left alone in his apartment with absolutely nothing to do. Sure, there was the television and video games, but she was a wolf, and did not care for such things. She mostly sat around on the balcony, looking into the sky. The only time she wasn't bored was when Kurama was home. It was strange how the mood changed when he was home as opposed to him being gone. They didn't really do much the first day, but for some reason, being with him made it more bearable. She didn't know how long she could take staying here, but she figured a week would make him happy enough before she could return to her life. She was lazily looking through his books, wondering what it was that she wanted to read. She had to develop a hobby if she was going to keep from going insane.

Kurama's day was amazing. Despite being stuck away from his mate, it was very comforting to know that she was there when he got home. He couldn't remember a happier time in his life-aside from his previous demon life with her. She was always there, always where he wanted her to be. She never strayed too far when they went on their raids, always concerned for the pack. At least she already knew how to be a good wife, he couldn't ask for more of her.

When he arrived home, he didn't know where he expected her to be. She had never lived as a human much, and he wondered how she handled the day. He found her curiously looking through his books, not even really bothering to put clothes on. He wrapped his arms around her tightly, her hair wet from probably another visit in the tub. Her smell was intoxicating, sending his mind away completely. Animal instinct taking over, he gave into his desires. She wasn't one to complain.
