A/N: OMG I am so sorry it has taken me a year+ to update. That is just sad especially since i had a good bit of this chapter written forever ago. I'd blame it on being a senior in college but that can't be it because school usually makes me want to do other things besides school work -_-. I promise I will update more from now on! So if anyone is still willing to read this story here ya go.

As always 'thoughts'
Taking Over
Lynn's eyes opened to darkness. The sun hadn't come up yet. 'This sure is a long night, but I don't mind.' She rolled over so she could look at Yoko's sleeping form, but he was not there. Her heart raced at finding the space empty and cold. She scanned the room but didn't see anything at all. It was unnaturally dark.
"Finally awake I see." It sounded like Yoko's voice but it was too cold and menacing to be him.
"Who's there?" Lynn's energy spiked.
"Can you not tell it is me? Your senses must be worse than I thought." The voice chuckled and she recognized the laugh as belonging to Yoko and she relaxed a bit.
"What are you doing over there? Is something wrong?" Lynn was still on guard, he didn't sound himself.
"Nothing is wrong. I finally bedded you. All that courting has finally paid off." Yoko's eyes shown through the darkness and they were hard and cold.
"Paid off!? What are you talking about?" Lynn began thinking of Yomi's warning and started to panic.
"So naïve you are. Did you actually think a powerful demon like I would fall in love with a weak thing like you? We both got want we wanted last night, and I do not see a use for you anymore. You are no longer a virgin, and therefore no different than most other women."
"You can't be serious! Yoko you said you loved me and would never hurt me." Lynn began backing away on the bed as Yoko approached.
Yoko climbed onto the bed pinning her down. "Words are the easiest way to manipulate others, easy to throw around and to take back." Yoko smirked. He sprung a demon vine from his arm that wrapped tightly around Lynn's neck.
She grabbed at the offending plant, trying to rip it off so she could breathe but to no avail. She looked Yoko in the eyes but they were not the soft caring golden pools she was used to. The Yoko she knew and grew to love was no longer there.
"Since I have deflowered you, I will end your life by making you into a beautiful flower." Yoko brought out a seed and cut a deep gash along her arm, inserting the seed inside. Lynn screamed, using up her last bit of air, as the plant took root inside her body.
Her screams of terror rang out as Yoko's face turned back to normal. His expression was that of extreme worry. "LYNN!? LYNN!?" He shook her until she stopped shrieking and her eyes focused on his. She was violently shaking all over and out of breath. "What is wrong? Please let me help." He felt powerless to save her from this sudden trauma without knowing the cause.
Lynn's eyes blinked rapidly as she took in her surroundings. The room was filled with light, almost blinding, and Yoko was there warm, and comforting. She looked to her arm and there was no wound or blood. Her hands flew up to her neck where she could still feel the tight grip of the demon vines but her fingers only touched flesh.
"Lynn?" Yoko spoke softly not wanting to startle her. "Nothing is going to hurt you. I am here." Yoko went to wipe away the tears on her cheek but she flinched away. His hand retracted at her sudden tension and his ears sank downwards from her rejection as his brow furrowed in confusion. Then it clicked. He thought of what he had done to the meaningless women he had bedded in the past. 'Subconsciously she must have been terrified of what might happen after I bedded her. That bastard Yomi, filling her head with such ridiculous ideas.'
"I am not going to hurt you." Yoko smiled sadly as it all made sense. "I promise it. The last thing you need to worry about is me." Lynn continued staring at her arm and shivering. "Please say something. This silence is maddening! I will not hurt you, I swear." His voice faded. Yoko felt desperate, running out of ways to convince her.
Lynn finally looked up at the fox's concerned face and relaxed. "It was just so real." Her voice was just above a whisper. Yoko enveloped her in a strong embrace that melted away her foolish concerns. "I'm so stupid, but I tend to have very vivid dreams; it's hard to tell what's real and what's not. The plants, the blood, you. It was so real."
Yoko pulled away. "You are most certainly not stupid."
"Yes I am. I'm stupid, weak, and naïve. It's just you're so terribly strong and cunning that it seemed possible." She shuttered at the "it" she spoke of.
"It is not possible. In fact it is impossible." Yoko chuckled.
"Why is that?" Lynn was curious about his certainty.
"Well aside from the fact that I would never hurt you, do you remember that seed I slipped you through a kiss." Yoko smiled at the memory.
"Yes go on." She was both aggravated and intrigued.
"Well that seed, along with producing a special energy that only I can sense, also wards off any attacks from plants with similar energy i.e. all of my plants, that's why you can walk through my gardens unharmed now. Also the energy that It produces happens to have such a strong effect on me that I cannot destroy it therefore I cannot destroy the life energy intermingled with the seed's energy. In my opinion you are completely safe from me with or without the seed but the seed makes it impossible for me to ever hurt you even if I go insane, lose my mind and go on a killing spree you will remain unscathed."
Lynn was shocked. "Why didn't you tell me this before?"
"I saw no reason to. As far as I was concerned I would never harm you anyways. I figured you would believe my words." Yoko frowned.
"I'm sorry for doubting you." Lynn looked down.
"It is not your fault. I blame Yomi for giving you reason to doubt."
"Well it's my fault for letting Yomi's words get to me."
"Well if you really want it to be your fault that badly I will not argue against you. Instead you must make it up to me…somehow." He eyed Lynn still exposed body.
Lynn grabbed the blankets and covered up. "Perv."
"So I am still a pervert to you. Well, sorry to tell you this but I do not think my perversion can be cured, no matter how many times I have you." Yoko stroked her heated face. "But something tells me that you might not mind that anymore."
Lynn pouted at Yoko's cockiness. "What in the world gave you that idea?" She tried to scoot away but Yoko pinned her down.
"Your body." He planted heated kisses along the nape of her neck towards her ears causing Lynn to tremble and moan. "Your words may deny it but your body screams for me." He captured her lips and plunged inside her once more. "And I shall give you exactly what you want."
"Yo-ko" Lynn stammered, both upset and pleasantly surprised at the same time.
"Shhhhh, just relax. Nothing wrong with a little fun in the morning." Yoko increased his speed as Lynn responded accordingly, by matching his thrusts, keeping in rhythm. He grabbed her hands and held them above her head while his mouth focused on her breasts.
'How can he be doing this many things at once…' Lynn was already at her limit, and Yoko could feel it in her tightening muscles, and with a few really deep thrusts he pushed her over the edge as he joined her.
After the cries of pleasure from the two demons died down Yoko collapsed atop Lynn hugging her tightly. "You sure you don't want me?" Yoko smirked against her neck.
Lynn was breathing heavily. "That was unfair. You attacked me."
Yoko sat up. "You never once told me to stop."
"I couldn't say anything with you shushing me, and then…then…assaulting me with such…hast."
"It was only hasty because you wanted me so much." Yoko smirked and stood up not even attempting to cover himself up.
Lynn blushed at his exposed form and looked away.
Yoko laughed. "You do not have to hide it. Especially since you have decided to spend the rest of your life with me."
Lynn's blushed deepened. "You remembered that?" Lynn almost couldn't believe she had really agreed to that.
"I shall never forget. So no backing out." Yoko grabbed her hand and lifted her out of bed as she still clung to the blankets. "Let us get some breakfast, shall we?"
The two descended the stairs, now fully clothed, towards the dining hall, Yoko holding tightly to Lynn's hand afraid she may run away given the chance.
"You can let go now. I'm perfectly capable of getting there on my own." Lynn scoffed.
"I will never let go, and besides women love holding hands, do they not?"
"That depends on who it is that is holding their hand."
Yoko frowned. "Am I not suitable enough to be the one?"
"Sometimes you are, but sometimes you aren't."
"So let me get this straight…I am suitable enough to bed you, but not to hold your hand, that makes no sense."
"Women are complicated. I would think you'd have realized that by now, what with all the ones you've been with."
"None of them were as complicated as you. They were simple-minded creatures; you have a mind of your own so it can be difficult to understand it. So you will have to excuse me if I have to resort to reading your body language. And is that a hint of jealousy I'm sensing"
Yoko bent down so that his face was hovering just inches from hers. "I love the possessiveness but do not worry too much. They meant absolutely nothing to me. You are my life now." He closed the gap between them and stole a passionate kiss. He pulled away leaving Lynn now breathless. "Still opposed to holding my hand?" Yoko whispered.
All Lynn could do was dumbly shake her head back and forth as Yoko took her hand and guided her the rest of the way to the dining hall
Breakfast was interesting. There were a lot of glances in Lynn's directions. This was the first time Yoko had kept a girl around for so long. Everyone was intrigued. Lynn felt slightly uncomfortable with all the staring and Yoko didn't like the look's they were giving as they eyed up his woman. 'They say a woman becomes even more alluring after she has been with a man.' Yoko glanced at Lynn as she nibbled at her food. She seemed to be deep in thought. She was breath-taking with her far off gaze, and rosy pick complexion. 'What could see be thinking about?' Yoko pondered the options, and they just made him want to push her on the table and take her again. He tore himself away from her stunning features when he remembered they were not alone and he found everyone at the table to be focused on Lynn.
Yoko roughly cleared his throat which caught everyone's attention. "I have an announcement." He stood so that all eyes were now on him. "You will be seeing this woman around frequently. She is to be treated with the same reverence and respect as you treat me." He walked behind where Lynn stood and placed his hands on her shoulders, and his voice suddenly became menacing "This goes without saying, but if anyone even thinks about touching what is mine, I will not give you the comfort of death but make your life a living hell as I have with Yomi." Everyone's eye's got real wide. They we're wondering what had happened to Yomi, and now they knew it wasn't pretty. Nobody in their right mind would mess with Yoko Kurama, Yomi must have been insane.
Once Yoko was sure his point had gotten across he took his seat again by Lynn who was now staring wide eyed at Yoko. His tone had sent a chill down her spine and she could see the fear instill in all the demons around the table.
"Thank you for your attention." Yoko smirked at his little display of power. He waved his hand at the silent motionless demons. "Carry on." Everyone went right back to eating and chatting, making a noticeable effort to not even look in Lynn's direction.
"Wasn't that a bit harsh?" Lynn whispered to Yoko.
"Harsh? Did you see how some of them we're eating you with their eyes?" Yoko turned to his blushing companion. "Can't really blame them though…you are quite worthy of stares." Yoko chuckled.
Lynn took that the wrong way. She reached for her face and began frantically searching it for something out of place. Yoko raised an eyebrow. "Is there something weird on my face?" Lynn covered her face from the rest of the table while glancing at Yoko for an answer.
Yoko stared at his cute lover's worried expression, and broke out laughing. This raised attention from everyone at the table who had never heard this sort of laughter from Yoko, but at catching a glimpse of Lynn again they quickly averted their attention. Lynn threw her hands down and scowled at being laughed at. "What's so funny?" Her face was bright red.
Yoko managed to quite his laughter. "You! You are so cute, it is actually funny." Lynn continued to shoot daggers at him. Yoko's hand reached up to stroke Lynn's heated face. "Nothing is wrong with your face. The stares are because you are so damn sexy."
Lynn blushed and looked away. Yoko took this opportunity to whisper in her ear. "In fact I'm having trouble controlling myself. If not for these fools here I would have had you for breakfast on this table." Yoko licked her ear causing her to visibly tremble.
"Yoko." She attempted to scold but couldn't hide how laced with lust it sounded.
"Wouldn't want to give them a free show now would we?" Yoko pulled away smirking.
Lynn didn't know how much she could take of this man. He was able to lite a fire in her so easily, and it scarred her how much she wanted him. Yoko went back to his breakfast as Lynn struggled with her self-control.
"I think I should go home now." Lynn announced after their late breakfast was over.
"What? But this is your home." Yoko looked dejected.
"No, I mean I should go see my parents. I haven't seen the since before the….incident the other day." 'I also need to get those pills!' Lynn mentally scolded herself for not carrying them with her, 'but who would have thought I'd actually need them this soon.'
Yoko frowned thinking about the incident she was referring to. "Well I can't let you go alone, so let's both go pay your parents a visit; I need to talk with them anyways."
Lynn couldn't figure out what Yoko needed to talk to her parents about but she wasn't going to decline the extra protection, not after what had happened yesterday.
Lynn rode on Yoko's back as Yoko had insisted on it since it would assure her protection through contact and the contact itself was a nice bonus.
When they got to Lynn's home, her mother rushed over to her and enveloped Lynn in a big hug. "We were so worried about you! We came home last night and we couldn't find you." Riiko cried.
Jin walked over to Yoko and put his hand on his shoulder. "Thank you for saving our daughter." Jin regarded Yoko with respect.
"Not a problem." Yoko smirked. "Just doing my job." Yoko chuckled as Lynn glared at him.
"Why don't we go inside and have some tea while we talk." Riiko suggested as she lead the scowling Lynn inside.
They talked for a long time about what had happened with Yomi. Riiko was horrified this man was able to abduct her daughter right from her own home. Jin was just so thankful Yoko had been able to find them and he mentally noted about getting better guards for sure. Lynn felt uncomfortable talking about Yomi so she eventually excused herself to go get some air, but she really just wanted to sneak up to her room and get those pills. She was surprised Yoko let her go so easily with how clingy he had been all day.
When Lynn was out of earshot Yoko turned towards her parents with a very serious look. "I intend to marry your daughter, and I am here to ask for her hand." Yoko bowed to Lynn's parents.
Jin smiled. "Maybe I won't need new guards if she is in your protection." He chuckled.
Riiko was a little bit more skeptical, and Yoko could see the worry in her eyes. "I know I don't have the best track record but she is the most important person to me, and I cannot imagine a life without her." Yoko grabbed Riiko's hand and looked into her eyes. "I will take the upmost care of your daughter, and make sure she is happy for the rest of her life." Yoko swore.
Riiko sighed succumbing to Yoko's charm. "As long as she's safe and happy, I have no objections."
"I've been ok with her being with you from the get go, so no objections here. If this is what she wants too that is. She did seem a bit reluctant of you at first." Jin smirked.
"Not to worry. I believe I have already persuaded her." Yoko smirked.
Lynn took a while finding that box of pills, but she finally found it under her bed. 'Must have fallen of the table.' Lynn sighed with relief as she took one of the small pills. She was not ready for a little bandit thief just yet. 'Got to make a carrying pouch for these things.' Lynn blushed at the fact she was actually thinking of using these pills quite often.
"Thinking about me?" A husky voice from the doorway interrupted her thoughts.
Lynn quickly put the box down behind her. "What are you doing seeking around here? Shouldn't you be downstairs with my parents?" Lynn fumbled her words having been caught off guard.
"I am done with that conversation, and you were taking a while so I figured I would go and see what you were up to." Yoko smirked at having seen her hide the box of pills behind her. "What's wrong? Don't want to bare my children?" Yoko chuckled.
Lynn's face turned bright crimson at having been discovered. "Not yet!" She closed her eyes and spouted without thinking.
When she opened her eyes again Yoko was right in front of her. "Not yet is a perfect answer. It means you will one day which gives me the greatest sense of joy, but it also means I have you all to myself for a while. I think I need a long, long while before I am willing to share your affection with our children." Yoko reached around Lynn and grabbed the box opening it with a sigh. "We're going to need much more than this." Yoko shook his head.
Lynn snatched the box out of his hand, embarrassed. "If you're done teasing me, why don't you just leave." Lynn set the box on her table and stormed off towards the door.
"Oh I do not think I will ever be done teasing you." Yoko swiftly scooped Lynn off her feet and onto the bed with such gentle force. He stole her lips once more while his hands explored her body. His kisses trailed down from her lips to her neck where he knew she was very sensitive. Lynn moaned as the pent up desire she had been fighting with since breakfast finally made itself known. "You rather seem to like my teasing." Yoko whispered in her ear.
"Yoko." Lynn breathed. "I did not give you enough credit. If you feel this frustrated all the time, then you have the self-control of a saint. I'm the one with the control issues."
Yoko was taken by surprise as Lynn rolled him over so she was on top of him straddling him to the bed. Now it was Yoko's turn to moan as Lynn brushed up against his crotch. Her nails raked against his hot flesh as she felt the new found sexual power coursing through her. Her hands reached up and massaged his fox ears while her mouth attacked the pulsing flesh of his strong neck. Yoko couldn't help the moans; he was drowning in pleasure as Lynn took control. He had no idea his ears and neck were so sensitive.
Lynn pulled away to look at her lover. Yoko's eyes were heavy and half lidded with unspeakable passion. His breathing was extremely labored, and he wore a smile of extreme satisfaction. "Don't stop." Yoko actually pleaded which made Lynn's heart skip a beat or two.
"I don't think I can." Lynn was on him again this time untying his sash, and removing the offending clothing to reveal his well-defined chest. Yoko reached up and hurriedly removed her shirt. Lynn moved her hands lower to the lip of his pants. Instead of removing them, she snuck her hand underneath and began gently stroking his manhood. Yoko grunted, and his eye rolled back. "God Lynn, you sure do learn fast."
Lynn blushed, slightly embarrassed by her own actions. "I have no idea what I'm doing. It just feel's natural."
Yoko opened his eyes and looked up at his lover. "You can do whatever you want to me, Lynn, I'm all yours."
Lynn took the invitation. She pulled her hand out from his pants and gently pulled them down. Her movements mixed with hesitation and haste all at once. Yoko decided it was time to help. He grabbed her hips and slid her clothing off as well. He then positioned her atop his lap. She looked unsure of how to proceed, so Yoko helped ease his way inside her. The sudden tightening causing them both to moan, and Lynn began reflexively rocking her hips. This caused more pleasurable sounds from the demon fox.
"Am I doing this right?" Lynn questioned.
"You are amazing." Yoko managed in between moans.
Lynn increased her speed, and he seemed to really like that. The look on his face was driving her crazy. He looked so blissful it made Lynn want to satisfy him all the more. Her hands roamed his sculpted chest as he gripped her hips. She felt herself tightening as Yoko held her tightly to him. The ripples of pleasure erupted within her as she cried out in ecstasy. Upon seeing his goddess in such a state Yoko could not hold on anymore as he joined her. Lynn collapsed into her lovers embrace as he clung tightly to her.
Yoko glanced out the window and saw that the sun was starting to set. "Get dressed; I have someplace I would like to take you."
"What? Now?" Lynn was still catching her breath after their little session.
"Yes. Now." He swiftly stood up and got dressed while Lynn just starred. "Do you need help?" Yoko smirked toward the still naked Lynn. "Or would you like to go as you are?"
Lynn looked down at her unclad form and covered up quick, embarrassed now that the haze of passion was sated. "NO! I'll get dressed of course." Lynn stood up taking the blankets when her to her closet. Yoko just chuckled as she tripped over the blankets in her haste.
"Not funny." Lynn snapped.
"Wear something sexy." Yoko commanded.
"I'll wear what I damn well please." Lynn did not plan to listen, and Yoko could tell. He was behind her in a flash, and pulled out a very revealing black dress.
"Here this will do." Yoko pushed the dress at her.
"This?" Lynn frowned, but Yoko just pushed her towards the bathroom assuming she wasn't about to drop that blanket and get dressed in front of him.
Lynn emerged from the bathroom and Yoko had propped her window open. "Get on."
"You're very demanding all of a sudden." Lynn walked over to where he stood.
"Guess I was just suffering from a lack of control with how you just attacked me, can't say I did not enjoy it though. Now let's go." Yoko grabbed his blushing companion and leapt from the window.
He raced through the forest for a while. Lynn could tell they were going in a different direction then the keep. "Where are we going?"
"You shall see." Yoko smirked.
The forest opened and they came upon a clearing. Lynn could hear the crashing sounds of waves. "Are we going to the shore?" Lynn asked excitedly.
Yoko chuckled at her peaking interest. "Yes we are."
Yoko stopped running when he reached the top of a grassy cliff. He let Lynn down gently. Her feet were bare since Yoko abducted her before she could get her shoes on, but the soft grass felt good on her feet. The cliff over looked the vast body of water before them. The salty spray of water could be felt from the waves that crashed up against the rocky shore below and seemed to climb the jagged cliff almost reaching the top. The sun was at the horizon and sinking fast. The remaining light glittered across the water, and turned the clouds into all different shades of crimson.
"It's beautiful." Lynn smiled. "Guess we did have to hurry to see this sunset huh?" Lynn turned around to face Yoko and her heart stopped.
Yoko seemed to be glowing with the sun's rays upon him. His silver hair shimmered in the sun light, and his golden eyes seemed to radiate the sun's warmth. That's when she noticed the very serious look in his eyes. Lynn turned back towards the sun which was now almost gone. She took a few deep breaths. Her life was changing so much lately. Yoko had become such a huge part of her life and she couldn't imagine life without him now.
Yoko moved to stand by Lynn's side grabbing her hand within his. "Is anything wrong?" He asked concerned.
"Nothing is wrong, nothing at all…so much has changed in such a short time. Just trying to take it all in." Lynn wore a far off look as she starred at the retreating sun.
"I have one more thing I would like you to take in." Yoko announced catching Lynn's attention. When she turned to face him, he was already holding out a small box. Lynn froze starring at the small object inside. Inside the box was a silver ring adorned with an emerald surrounded by diamonds.
"Will you be mine forever?" Yoko whispered.
Lynn looked into Yoko's warm, loving eyes. Why would such a great man pick her? "Are you sure you want me?" Lynn still felt unsure.
"I am very sure. I have been sure since the day I got this ring for you."
"And when was that?" Lynn raised an eyebrow.
"Right after we met." Yoko smiled.
Lynn's heart was racing. She could barely think with the sound of her heart beating in her ears. She could not comprehend why this amazing demon who could have any woman he wanted, wanted her.
Yoko began to worry with the lack of response he was receiving from his partner. 'Maybe this is too much to take in.' Yoko, not wanting to back down, decided to try again. "Lynn." He called sweetly breaking her out of her confusing train of thought. He got on his knees and asked again. "Will you marry me?" Yoko almost pleaded.
Lynn wanted to cry. To see the powerful Yoko Kurama on his knees begging for her was too much. She fell to her knees as well as the tears came pouring down. "Sorry." She whispered between sobs.
Yoko's heart stopped at hearing her apologize. He was not prepared for rejection, and froze on the spot until Lynn's warm hand reached out enveloping his. "I'm sorry for crying." She finished. "Of course I'll marry you." She said in-between sobs. "Sorry for the emotional breakdown." She chuckled lightly. "Like I said, a lot to take in."
Yoko's face lit up. He took the ring from the box, and slid it onto her ring finger. It was a perfect fit. He enveloped her in a warm embrace as they sat sprawled on the grass. It had gotten dark and the moon was now out. The couple just lingered in the warmth of each other as the cool night air settled in.
