White Lotus: Okari (A Kamisama Kiss fanfic) (Completed)

Chapter 9

"Shh~Just keep your eyes on mine. Okari...may I kiss you?"

I leaned closer to him and he met me half way, capturing my lips with his. Yes...you may. The kiss was long and passionate. Our lips danced against one another as he gripped my waist and turned me over so that I was now at the bottom. I ran my fingers through his soft silvery hair as our tails mingled with one another. He pulled back to let me breath then he trailed kisses down my neck and to my collar bone. "T-tomoe~" I moaned, it tickled. I felt his lips curl into a smirk as he continued to leave marks on my neck and collar bone. I let out a low growl in annoyance then I flipped us both over so that I was back on top. "Tomoe...this is not the right place or time for that. I'm...sorry" 

He cupped my cheek with his hand while he gently caressed my lips with his thumb. I stared into his purple eyes once again and my heart softened at his gentle smile. He understands me, he's not mad at me. "It's alright, Okari. I did say I was willing to wait. Now smile for me, that's all I want to see. I want to see you smile" So I did. I showed him what he wanted to see. No matter how much it hurt to do it, I smiled at him with guilty tears flowing from my eyes because even if he wouldn't admit it, I still hurt him.

He winced as I wrapped his arm with a bandage. I took him to my territory to get treated and my pack wasn't too happy to see him but they still kept their distance. "I-I'm sorry...is it too tight?" I asked but he only smiled in amusement. "I'll admit, you bite hard but seeing you all flustered and stuttering like this makes it all worth it" I couldn't help but feel annoyed but my body responded differently to that. My cheeks flushed and my face felt warmer. He smiled then took me by surprise as he snaked his arm around my waist then pulled me closer. He smiled down at me as I rested my head on his chest, I could hear his steady heartbeat as he rested his tail ontop of mine.

His chest was rumbling and it allured me. I pulled myself up to his eye level, and licked the scratch on his cheek then wrapped it in a bandage. We rested our foreheads to one another and chuckled to ourselves. "Don't ever do that again...I was worried that something bad happened to you. If you are going to go somewhere, atleast tell me where you're going to run off to or tell your wolves. That Beta of yours almost tore my throat out" he chuckled but I could tell he was nervous. Willow could be quite aggressive sometimes, even if she was a female. I chuckled, "Yes...you'll be the first one to know"

"My lady, I believe we have trespassers" Willow howled from the distance and I chuckled to myself. It's only been days and he's already back from his little trip?  "Let him in, Willow"

"Yes, Lady Okari"

I waited for him to call for me, I waited to hear his voice then I heard a voice. I jumped down to greet the scource but it wasn't who I was expecting. "L-lady Yukiji?!" I mumbled as I stared at the woman standing right infront of me. She was here, she was actually inside my territory and I-I'm...!

I jumped back up to my tree, hoping that she didn't see too much of what I trully was. "W-what brings you here?" I asked, panicking while I tried to hide my tail and ears. "I came here because someone left right before my wedding ceremony and I really wanted her to be there..." I heard her mumble from below. I jumped back down and faced her and fidgeted nervously. "Yeah...about that, I-I'm-"

"You're a yokai...aren't you?" those were the words I feared the most. I had been hiding it from her for so long because I knew how much she despised yokai ever since they killed her family. "Y-yes...I-I'm sorry..."

"Why didn't you tell me? Was it all a trick from the beginning? Is our friendship even real?"

"Yes! I-I've always considered you as a friend, even if you are human."

"Then why didn't you tell me the truth?!" I was silent for a moment, I couldn't face her right now. Not after what I did but I just couldn't let this continue. "Because...I was afraid that you would hate me when you finally knew the truth, that I am a yokai. I knew how much you despised yokai so I...I pretended to be human so I could keep being friends with you but I never ment to hurt you by lying to you. I'm sorry, Yukiji" I could feel it, the tears slowly streaming down from my face. She was my only true friend in the world and I didn't care if she was human. "Tell me something and don't lie to me. Is your name even Okimi?" 

"N-no...i-it's actually Okari"

"Good... It's really nice to meet you Okari, I'm Yukiji" she said, holding out her hand to me. I was kind of confused as to what she was trying to do so i tilted my head to the side slightly to show my confusion. "Let's start over, Okari. From now on there will be no more secrets between us, alright?" she said and I franticaly nodded. I grabbed her hand and shook it "It's nice to meet you too, Yukiji."

"So...Okari, is there anything else you'd like to tell me?"

"Uhm...I'm a wolf yokai and you are right in the middle of my territory which is guarded by dozens of wolves and dogs whom I rescued and took in when nobody else would. I am good at sword fighting and herbal medicine and I have healing powers but I haven't mastered them yet and it takes alot of energy when I use it. I have three forms, my full wolf form, my full human form and my normal form which is the form you see right now. This is what I usually look like and I am atleast a hundred years old"

"Really? Y-you're a hundred years old? But you look so young, even younger than me...A-anyway, is there anything else?"

"uhm...Well..." I moved closer to her to whisper it in her ear then she looked at me with wide eyes and exclaimed "Tomoe is your lover?!"

"N-no...I-I haven't answered him yet"

"Okari...although this is very shocking that the most feared yokai in all of Japan is your lover, if he is doing all those things with you then he is your lover wether you are aware of it or not. Do you even know what you feel about him?"

"H-honestly...I-I'm not so sure. I-I'm not sure what love is anymore..." she sighed, "Don't worry...I'll try to explain as best I can"

<><><>

"Goodbye Yukiji! I promise I'll visit you tomorrow!" I waved goodbye at her on the border of my territory. Today had been fun, my friendship with Yukiji is stronger than ever now that I no longer had to hide from her and she taught me something new. Tomoe...when are you coming back? I really want to make sure of it myself. Now that I know what it's called, I want to feel this emotion again. Tomoe...I'll be waiting.
