"oh, that's so awesome young maiden chan >w< " Volpeo tried to jump at her arms, probably to continue the merciless nuzzle. Fortunately the familiar's grip on the cub was tight and he wouldn't let loose of it that easily.
OoC: mmm okay >w

Smiling, Kohaku exited the library and headed towards the center of the temple where the portal was located. Turning to her familiar, she showed a sort of regretful, sad smile. "It looks like you'll have to guard the portal again. I hope you don't mind. I'll be sure to be back as soon as possible." she assured the familiar with a loving stroke over its head. "Let's go, Volpeo." Kohaku said before stepping through the portal.

"I can't wait to see elder chan again >w< " Said the kitsune cub, excited about meeting the elder once more. Then again there was pretty much few things that didn't cheer the cub. Sighing the familiar would nod before releasing the mischievous familiar which ran a few laps around the familiar. "Yes, be good and guard lots of portals for young maiden chan." With that the little cub would rush cheerfully after Kohaku, stepping into the mysterious portal.

"That trip was a little more tiring than I previously imagined." Kohaku said, letting out a deep sigh as the two stepped through the portal into her realm. Her sleeping familiar awakened to see who had come and went back to resting upon seeing her. Smiling, Kohaku bent down to stroke the familiar's fur before heading to the kitchen. "Come on, Volpeo. I'll make you inari sushi before we start packing and preparing, plus whatever else might be necessary." Entering the kitchen, she immediately cleared out the mess they had made before leaving and setting up her station.

Volpeo was quick to roam around Kohakus realm. Waving his tail happily as he found the familiar and quickly started stroking his fur against it. Jumping around and over it in various occasions before the hyperactive Kitsune would run after Kohaku who mentioned the inari sushi that Volpeo liked very much. "Oh, are we eating already maiden chan?" He asked as if he didn't knew the answer to that question already. Volpeo was quick to rush by her side before stroking his fur against the maiden's legs. Sometimes Volpeo was too affectionate while in this form. A polite way to say he was pretty much like this while on that form. "What are we packing? What do we need?" He asked with excitement as Kohaku mentioned about packing and preparing for their next mission.

Volpeo's over affectionate personality in his cub form made Kohaku wonder when he would return to his human form. As rude and accusing the human form was, at least she would be left alone for some time but she knew it would probably be best if he stayed in this form for now. "Yes, but I have to make it first. Also, I don't really know what we should pack aside from the essentials: food, water, and such I mean." Kohaku said. The actual mission details were a little vague. It made her very uneasy. To distract herself from her possible doom, Kohaku began working distractedly on the sushi.

Since Hirano didn't found any problems with volpeo lately. At least not ones that would eventually put her in a dangerous situation. Volpeo would be able to revert forms into his humanoid one. However, he was napping on a basket at the moment which ended up on him falling form the small desk the basket was. "ou!" Volpeo frowned, the last thing he remembered was that he was arguing with a maiden. He was really angry. He couldn't see the elder because of her. Soon after. All the memories of the cub would start flowing into him. To keep him up to date. "The mirror..." Volpeo frowned as he knew it was a dangerous mission. But observing the place he was, and the scent of the familiar, he knew he was once more in Kohaku's domain. And so far they were still bound to each other. None the less, It would seem that during this form he became stronger. Unknown to him. The pact increased his defenses so that he may defend Kohaku during the mission if needed.
Grasping the basics of this new... defensive power. Volpeo tried his body to see if there were any significant changes. Thankfully neither his speed or his reflexes were harmed in the process. But the thought of Kohaku entering the inner caves bellowthe roots of the tree would still haunt him.
He meditate it over and over.
Moments later, he would approach silently, at Kohaku, the maiden would feel his hand upon her shoulder with a firm grip. Not enough to harm her. But it wasn't exactly a soft embrace. "You have to stay. Forfeit the mission." Those were Volpeo's first words to the maiden. While indeed the travel was dangerous. He, along with Hanzo, were underestimating Kohaku's value and skill. Not only because she was a woman, but to Volpeo, despite his anger towards her. Kohaku reminded him of both, her wife and her daughter. Not in a romantic way. But there was this air of ... family that he could sense around Kohaku. Which made him care for her. At least not to put her through something as dangerous as the caves. However, there were still the fact that the Pact was intact. what if this was the only way to break the pact?

Kohaku, engrossed in her cooking as she prepared the sushi, failed to realize Volpeo's reversion to his humanoid form. She was just making the finishing touches on the food when she heard Volpeo speak. Jumping slightly from shock, Kohaku turned to see him back in his humanoid form. Did the parameters of the contract have something about sensing her mood or such? The timing of it all was too perfect for it to be simply coincidence. Taking down a mental note, Kohaku struggled to find words to respond.. "What? But why? I was so sure that between the two of us, you were the most upset over this arrangement. I figured that you, of all people, would want to end this as quickly as possible."

While Kohaku did had a point regarding the matter of Volpeo wishing to break the arrangement as fast as possible. There was still the fact that descending into the tree roots was a matter of high risk. He was supposed to undertake that task alone. He couldn't bring Kohaku and risk her safety. "Of course I am. Believe me, I don't enjoy this as much as you do. But safety comes first. We kitsunes take care of each other. And we don't expose our younger ones to danger." Stated Volpeo with quite the irony, given the fact he was actually younger than Kohaku. "I will not put you into trouble just because of this contract. We'll find another way." Stated Volpeo in a severe tone this time. As if imposing his decision upon Kohaku's.

Kohaku stood at attention, taking carefully into account Volpeo's points. If it was as dangerous as it sounded, then she truly shouldn't undertake the venture. Her role as the guardian of the portal was before everything else. Especially given the important fact that she had no one to succeed her should the mission render her incapable of guarding the realm, Volpeo made valid points. After all, both of them didn't know how long the actual mission would take and she couldn't let her familiar guard the portal forever. Sighing, Kohaku gave in."Alright, we won't go. I suppose if anything, we can wait for the seal on this contract to weaken and find a more, uh, forceful way to break it. In the mean time, I think we should settle some things between us since we can't be too far from each other. Number one, ground rules and terms. I think this will be easier if you go first. That way I can try to accommodate you a bit. Things will be better without us hating each other."

Volpeo couldn't actually believe Kohaku was this compliant with his request. come to think about it. He couldn't exactly recall why he was mad at her. Regardless of the fact she had summoned him when Kimberly needed him the most. But once He realized Kimberly was just fine, there were no actual reason to explode on her. At least for now. The scent of the cooking was also soothing for Volpeo, since in his adult form he did required more food than his tiny and hyperactive counterpart.
Moving back at the topic at hand, it was true, they needed to state rules if they wished for their relationship to last as peaceful as it could. Since they didn't knew how long would it last. Once again, Kohaku showed to be even more compliant as to give him the first round of rules. Which once again, wasn't something he would expect from "a little girl" like her. None the less he'll show some gratitude towards her display of maturity with a light bow. "Thank you." He answered shortly after she conceded him the word for the time being as to state the first rules. "Alright, rule number one. I'll have my own room. It is not proper for a young maiden as yourself to share the room with a man at night." As a father, he was cautious into these kind of details. "Also, we must greet ourselves in order to let the other know where we are. Not like reporting at every five minutes or so. Just a simple call out whenever we don't know where the other is. I would hate for one of us to be dragged into the other's presence when we have dealing with personal matters. I hope that should cover up. So that we may give some space without being too far away." He cleared his throat before proceeding. "Rule number three. No cub form. It's embarrassing. So please don't do that again." As a prideful leader of a village, it was embarrassing to recall every single thing he did under his cub form. "So fare those would be my three main rules." He would state, before giving Kohaku, her time to state her own rules.

Kohaku nodded as Volpeo listed his conditions, willing to comply to them. It was all pretty much common sense when one thought about it. "I have no specific requests for now except that you respect the sacredness of the temple area and you give me the space I need when I request it." Kohaku said. She figured she didn't need to lay down many rules given that Volpeo seemed to have calmed down in his humanoid form. For that, she was grateful enough. "If that's all, I'm almost done preparing the food. You're welcome to wait here or do something and come back later. On another note, I do request. I do rather enjoy cooking."

Volpeo nodded, they appeared to be reasonable demands form her to which he would do anything on his power to honor them. "Very well." Regardless, he wouldn't let his guard down. After all this place was still foreign to him. Hearing Kohaku comment on how much she loved to cook made his smirk, but only a little and while she didn't watched. Returning briefly into his serious expression. The maiden didn't seem as the annoying person he once claimed she was. Even now, she seemed more... human; so to speak. Volpeo would take on her word and take his leave. It was too early for him to get used to her presence. Perhaps she felt the same way. The familiar however would keep both of them company. Laying on the floor, pretty much across the entrance where it could watch over Hirano, and Volpeo who sit by the hall, meditating; sometimes he felt less agitated when he did so. Perhaps it was a good time to keep that habit.
On the meantime she familiar would observe the pair. Both of then achieved a certain amount of peace in their souls. But, would it last?.

Maybe the whole contract deal wouldn't be as bad as they thought. Sure, they would be stuck with each other a little while longer but how bad could it be? A million worst case scenarios immediately raided her mind giving her every reason to worry. While it made her a little nervous that something might happen between now and the seal weakening enough to break, she had confidence they could make it work. "And....done!" she exclaimed happily as she finished the inari sushi at last. It looked even more perfect and more delectable than the batch before if it were even possible. Plating the food onto plates, Kohaku carried them to the entrance with skill, setting down one by her familiar and handing another to Volpeo before sitting down with her own. "I think this is my best work yet if I do say so myself. Enjoy."

The grateful familiar would peak it's ears when Kohaku exclaimed to had finished the sushi. The familiar was quick to sit down properly and bowed respectfully to the maiden, thanking her blessed hands for providing with today's meal before digging in.
Volpeo awaited by the corridor. His ears would peak as well once Kohaku announced the meal to be ready. And moments later watch her by his side, offering the sushi and expecting him to enjoy it by the sound of her words. Volpeo, just like the familiar would boy his head to her and thank her for ther work, and accept the sushi. He would wait for her to sit as well before starting with his own share of Inari sushi.
While he did recalled tasting it earlier, as a cub. There was something about this portion that held a better flavor to it. It was just as soothing as Kohaku's patience. She must had carried much thought and effort into them to make them this blissful. A puzzled look invaded his face, removing his serious expression for a second. He was surprised just by one of the many qualities of the maiden. "It's very good, thank you." He managed to say. Flustering just a little while his eyes would meet with hers. After all he was a prideful kitsune, as many of their tribe. However, being raised by Kimberly, he knew better than to keep his pride up. Despite if it was embarrassing to greet her this fast. After all what they have been through so far. He would thank her for her good work. And give Kohaku her place for it. Just as he promised.
