Hi! I'm very happy currently because I got two reviews in response to such a short story. This is Drabble Number 2. Escape is a look into Kurama's mind and I am certain many have done this type of short story before but when looking at YYH100 no one had done Kurama for this challenge, so I gave it a whirl. Oh, and if you are looking for a time when this occurred, I guess you could place this right after the 3 Dark Treasures were returned and Kurama was back home.

Escape
When Kurama was still young (in body at least) he had made a decision that he might never be able to take back.
He chose not to escape.
He chose not to escape this human world, or his human mother. He chose to stay with a woman who would die long before he did, but oddly enough he did not regret it. He never even felt bitter that he would forever lose his demon body and strength. He never blamed her.
He couldn't quite understand what she had done to invoke such devotion in him, he was after all a ruthless killer, but every time he closed his eyes he could feel himself falling and letting out a strangled scream and bracing himself to fall onto the sharp glass, only to fall into a woman's arms. That shouldn't have fazed him, but he originally grew up in a world filled with demons who had never even heard of the word selflessness. Such a simple act of selflessness would forever remain in his heart.
He still had time to escape but he could never bring himself to do it.
He loves her, his human Mother.
This drabble was the product of a YYH100 Livejournal challenge, this was Challenge #3.
Reviews are well appreciated! And thank you to my two reviewers, I hope you see this. Also thanks Sophia for Beta-ing, as always.
