Chapter one:
Kurama faced a girl with shoulder length brown hair and bright blue-green eyes. She looked angry and hurt. She spat out some blood that was clinging to her lip. Slowly she reached into her hair and pulled out a bamboo branch and swept her arm like she just drew a sword from it sheath and sure enough the branch turned into a Japanese sword.
"I will revenge my fallen kin! They say to kill you…and I shall," the girl said softly with tears in her eyes.
Kurama looked shocked. Why would she want to kill him? What did he do to her? He took a few steps towards her and she responded why stepping back.
"Don't come any closer!" she yelled holding out her sword in front of her.
"Why kill me?" Kurama asked.
"Because…" she said.
"'Because'?" he questioned.
"Because they told me to!" she replied.
"Who's 'they'?" he asked.
"The Shigen…they said you killed them, all of them," she whispered. "You have an extensive history Minamino Suichi. I have been told about your murderous days."
Kurama looked shocked; someone had been feeding the girl lies. He couldn't say anything.
"What's wrong, Minamino…can't say anything? Neither could I when I found out it was you. You of all people, the one I thought I loved from a glance," she cried.
"You…loved me? I don't even know your name," he said.
"Does that matter now? You murderer!" she yelled.
Her anger flared and started to burn in her eyes. She screamed out of pain as her ears were replaced by silver colored fox ears and her hair changed to a fiery red, a long silver tail appeared. She dropped her sword and wept causing her to drop to the ground.
"A Kitsune?" Kurama asked and went to her; sitting beside her trying to calm her down.
"Stay away!" she cried picking up her sword and pointing it at him. "I told you to stay away, murderer!"
The girl stood up and kept the sword pointed at Kurama. "You were in my class last year, the smart kid who swooned all the girls! I know that you aren't a normal kid! You're hundreds of years of killing back you up!" she spat.
"You're…Takami Anzu…you're also quite the looker. I assure you, I am no murderer. I swear it," Kurama said.
"You do know me, but that doesn't change anything! Never call by my ningen name! My Kitsune name is Suigine Kasumi," she growled.
Kurama nodded, "Ok Kasumi."
"Stand and fight like a man," Kasumi commanded and Kurama obeyed.
Kasumi backed away from Kurama to sharpen her speed and her accuracy of killing her opponent. She quickly stretched her muscles for a quick attack.
"Before you attack may I ask you something?" Kurama asked.
"What is it?" Kasumi snapped.
"How do you know the Shigen aren't lying to you?" he asked her in a calm voice.
"Why wouldn't I believe them? They swore they would tell me the truth," she replied.
"They were lying, I am not a murderer!" Kurama responded.
"Enough!" Kasumi shouted and charged at him with great speed.
She readied her sword and struck Kurama, impaling him through the stomach. He stumbled back holding the wounded spot; blood gushed from the wound and poured down him hand, but he made no move to attack her.
Kasumi looked at him oddly and asked with venom in her voice, "Why don't you attack me?"
Kurama looked down at her with kindness in his emerald eyes, "Because, I am not a murderer and I do not intend to kill an innocent."
"Are you stupid? You're kind act may fool some idiot girls, but not me! If I let you go, you will kill more innocents!" she yelled.
All Kurama could do was sigh and try and make her see that he was not a murderer. "Kasumi, do you think I would murder my own kind?"
"What are you getting at, Minamino?" she growled.
"I am also a Kitsune and I would never murder my own kind, kin or not," he replied.
"Shut up!" Kasumi shouted, "I have eaten my fill of your words and they taste bitter on my tongue."
Anger flared in her eyes and caused a chain reaction with her warrior spirit. The air flamed about her creating a barrier. Kurama knew he had no choice but to fight her. Fighting her was not right in honor or in his nature.
"Fight me!! Are you that scared to be killed?" Kasumi growled.
Kurama shook his head, "No, I am not afraid of death, but you shouldn't be seeking revenge on someone who has not committed any crimes. For it is a crime to kill an innocent."
"You are no innocent," she stated. "You are nothing more then a lying murderer!"
Kurama dropped to the ground holding his wound. Kasumi sneered, but she couldn't help to feel bad for someone like him, who was so handsome and smart. The honor of the fallen was at stake and she had to avenge them no matter the cost…even if it meant at the cost of her own life.
Then the lights flickered in the warehouse and went out. A series of gunshots rang through the large room. Kurama instinctively got up and ran to Kasumi. When some of the lights came back on a shadowy figure appeared from the entrance just above them by the staircase.
"You have dodged the bullets, amazing…" the figure murmured. "Kasumi, I was expecting better of you."
Kasumi got up and winced from a pain on her shoulder. "Ryushi, what the hell are you doing here?" she asked.
"It seems you have failed our orders, Kasumi, we have to dispose of you," Ryushi said and stepped in to the light.
Ryushi was a tall man with no muscles and dark hair. His eyes were dark and piercing with a sloping forehead. He wore a formal black suit and behind him stood several men all dressed quite similarly. They were straight faced with no expression on them.
"What are you talking about? I am doing as you commanded of me!" she yelled.
"You're not working hard enough and the Shigen doesn't need people like you, but before we kill you we will tell you a secret. Kurama, or should I say Minamino Suichi, never killed your family; it was us who killed them. Their deaths were used to have you do our dirty work," he replied.
"You bastard!" Kasumi growled.
"What are you going to do Kasumi? Kill us? For you know if you kill a human you would be severely punished," Ryushi snickered.
"I don't give a damn! You killed my kin!" she snapped. "Killing you is not even going to avenge them, you need to pay more then death!"
Kasumi glared at the men standing around and was ready with sword in hand. A worried expression crossed the faces of all of the men.
"Master shall we leave?" one of the henchmen asked.
"Yes," Ryushi replied. "This is not over Kasumi. We will come back for you and Kurama."
The men left with out a word. Kasumi knew she had made a terrible mistake. Her eyes lowered to the ground and she slowly turned around to face Kurama standing by her side.
"Some humans are cruel, but don't hate all of them," Kurama said quietly.
"No, I couldn't, I have my adoptive family who are human. I couldn't hate them. Could you hate them, Minamino?" Kasumi replied.
"No, and call me Kurama. Well, we better get going before anymore trouble finds us," he suggested.
"Yes," Kasumi agreed. "I'm sorry, though…for being tricked so easily and for wounding you."
Kurama smiled, "It's quite alright, but I'm kind of worried about that shoulder of yours."
She shook her head, "A bullet only grazed my shoulder, and it barely hurts."
Kasumi started to walk away, her ningen appearance returning to her. She went up the stairs and stopped at the door. She turned around with a sad smile on her face and looked at Kurama standing in the warehouse.
"I'm sorry," she said and went outside.
Kurama did nothing, but look at the door with a sad expression. She was a nice girl, really and Kurama knew it too well. He just wished he could have helped her more in some way.
Suddenly there was a scream and several gunshots. Kurama ran up the stairs and out the door as quickly as possible. There he found the members of the Shigen with Kasumi in their grasp. They had a gun pointed to her head, obviously the shots fired before were only warning shots.
"Kurama don't do this! It's not worth it!" Kasumi yelled.
"Shut up, bitch!" one of the henchmen yelled and slapped her across the face.
Ryushi ignored the out brake. "Truth of the matter is, we only want you dead, Kurama," Ryushi said holding out a piece of paper to Kurama. "You have three days to hand yourself over to us or Kasumi will get it."
Kurama gritted his teeth together and took the paper. He read it quickly.
"That is where you can find us," Ryushi stated and left with his henchmen.
Kurama watched helplessly as they left. But he wondered why they went through all this trouble just to kidnap Kasumi then say they want Kurama dead when they could have shot him right at that moment. It just made absolutely no sense.
