Dendrophobia - A fear of trees...
In all honesty he should have expected this, the way she trembled as she clung to him, her small body pressed into his larger one as she buried her face in his back. He slim fingers curling in the back of his white shirt as she whimpered and tears gathered in her eyes, the scent of them and her fear wafting around him.
He knew she had been sacred by his beautiful death tree and he slightly regretted using it in her presence. Yet he had been angered, that foolish demon had dared to touch his precious treasure and he was not going to let the offense slip.
He was Youko Kurama he had a reputation to uphold.
With a sigh he detached her iron grip from his robes and turned to face her placing a pale dainty yet deadly clawed finger under her chin to make him look up at him. His deep golden eyes bore into her tearful blue ones and he lowered his head to place a gentle kiss on her pink lips.
He pulled back just lightly his breath fanning over her swollen lips as he gave a small fanged smirk. “Kagome these are just normal trees you’ve no need to fear.” He chuckled as she stuck up her nose at him and tired to act indifferent.
“Youko, nothing in your garden is just normal.” He bit back the prideful evil grin that wanted to spread across his face.
She was right.
Nothing in his garden was normal.
