He smiles at her, "Apparently I'm the new mountain spirit so I have partial control over the seasons. So I can bring you back if I want to. And what I mean is that you're not like a human who would never come back, you will come back every year no matter what. So we can spend more time together in the future." Leaning over he hugs her again, just so happy he can actually do something. Then he turns to glare at Kore, a less than pleased look on his face.

"There are plenty of people who enjoy the winter over the other seasons, I was one such human. There are also plenty of things to do doing the winter besides bundle up and hide from the cold. So don't act like no one is happy during the winter, the only reason why I would let Yuki disappear until next winter because it would upset the balance of nature. So I'd watch your tongue if I were you." Still seething angrily he gives Yuki one last hug, "I'll see you in a little less than a year, then we can have fun together all the time, and I can teach you more things about humans, alright? Now sleep, and have sweet dreams." With a wave of his hand he produces enough heat to have Yuki melt in mere seconds so that its not painful for her.

"I'll leave my job and stay with you Kiba until Yuki returns. I guess that cave we found before is kind of my home, I'll have to reopen the entrance to it, it seems time has not been nice to it."
