Chapter 2: Enemies From The Past

I open my eyes to find that the sun is already high up in the sky. I am currently taking a nap with my brother since he refused to take one by himself.

"*Yawn*…" Shiro sits up rubbing his eyes with his small fists with a drowsy look on his face.

"I see you're awake now," I say with a chuckle as I sit up as well.

"I'm hungry now…" He says groggily and I chuckle again as I get up off of his bed and offer him my hand.

"Well let's go get a snack, shall we?" I ask with a smile. Shiro nods his head and take my hand. My parents are away in another city and they'll be gone for a couple days which means that I am in charge of Shiro. I am still dressed in my school uniform since I took a nap as soon as I brought Shiro home from school. He is already in his usual attire which consists of a green shirt, red shorts, and white socks. We walk into the kitchen and he sits down at the table.

"Can I have some rice balls, please?" He asks cheerfully.

"Sure. I'll start making them," I say as I take out the rice cooker and other ingredients. Shiro got his stool and put it down next to me before climbing onto it and watching. "You could go wait in the living room if you want Shi," I say softly as the rice finishes cooking and I begin to form them in my hands.

"No I want to watch you. Your hands are so skillful when working on something Kura. I like to watch you!" Shiro says with a bright smile causing me to crack a smile of my own.

"Well alright then," I say and for the entire time Shiro watched me make the rice balls. Once I finish making the rice balls I put them on a plate and set them down on the table with a cup of rose tea and orange juice for Shiro. I made six rice balls, that way me and Shiro would have the same amount. Shiro sits down in the seat next to mine and bites into a rice ball before grinning.

"They're so good!" Shiro says as he happily eats the rice ball.

"I'm glad you like them," I say with closed eyes and a smile. I pick up a rice ball of my own and eat it. One by one we finish the rice balls and soon they're all gone. I have just finished drinking my tea when I notice Shiro's empty cup and chair. I wash and put away the dishes before walking out of the kitchen and towards Shiro's room. "Shiro?" I ask peering into his room to find him standing with his shoes in hand.

"Can we go to the park, Kura?" Shiro asks innocently and I laugh nodding my head.

"Sure. Let's go," I say with a smile. We walk towards the front door and sit on the platform putting on our shoes before walking out and locking the door. Shiro and I walk down the street holding hands as I gaze up at the sky with the wind blowing through my hair. The weather is perfect for being out in so I don't have to worry about any storms.

We walk into the park and Shiro immediately hops on the slide. I chuckle as I watch him when I suddenly feel a presence nearby. I look up and see Shuichi heading my way.

"Oh. Hi Shuichi," I say with a smile causing him to smile as well.

"Hello Sakura." As I am about to say something I feel a tug at my skirt. I look down and see Shiro.

"What's wrong, Shi?" I ask softly.

"Who's he?" Shiro asks pointing to Shuichi.

"This is my classmate from school. His name is Shuichi. Shuichi, this is my younger brother, Shiro." Shuichi smiles as he kneels down in front of Shiro who hides behind my legs.

"Nice to meet you, Shiro," Shuichi says with a warm smile. Shiro shyly peeks his head out from my legs and stares up at Shuichi.

"Nice to meet you too," Shiro mumbles quietly. I watch as Shiro comes out from behind my legs when suddenly…

"*Gasp*" A familiar scent makes its way into my nose and the powerful demonic energy feels as though it's nearby.

"Um, what's wrong, Kura?" I suddenly remember Shiro and Shuichi are with me.

"Nothing. Um, Shuichi?" I ask softly.

"Yes, what is it?" Shuichi asks looking up at me with curious eyes.

"You wouldn't mind watching Shiro for me would you? I have to take care of a few things," I say with a bright smile.

"I wouldn't mind at all. How about I buy you an ice cream? Would you like that, Shiro?" As Shiro takes Shuichi's hand I can feel the energy getting closer.

"Yeah!" I watch as they walk out of the park before turning my full attention on the forest. I walk inside and find the source of the energy.

"Why are you here?" I ask coldly.

"Oh and here I thought you'd be happy to see me," The demon says.

"Why would I be happy to see you? You tried to claim me long ago. You attempted to mark me. The only thing I have for you is pure hatred." My voice is dripping with venom and I glare at the male demon.

"Come now. You can't really blame me. You're a silver fox demon and those are very rare especially a virgin such as yourself, well at least your human form is a virgin." He scowls at that statement and so do I. What does he mean by "at least my human form is a virgin"? Am I no longer a virgin in my demon form? Who did I mate with? Who is my mate and where is he now? I think as I ask myself all of these questions when I remember the demon's presence. "You possess rare powers which makes you the most desirable in all of Demon World. You should've known better than to wander around Demon World with you being a virgin and possessing such powers and all." His voice is just dripping with lust and so is his scent. It disgusts me to even breathe the same air as him.

"I don't care what you're reasons were. You disgust me beyond words," I spit and he feigns hurt.

"You would've been mine if it weren't for that damned fox. Hmph, he took you right from under my nose," The demon whines. So it was another fox spirit that I mated with? I glare at him as I push the thoughts aside.

"If you're done then leave. If you don't then I'll kill you," I threaten. The demon snickers before speaking again.

"Oh I won't be leaving. Not yet. I came here to get you and I'm not leaving without you," He says hotly.

"Oh I'm afraid you will leave without me because I will kill you if you stay a moment longer." He laughs again before grinning sinisterly.

"I believe you've acquired something precious in this world. Would that be…your human family? I do know you especially adore your human little brother." My eyes widen as the words resonate inside my head.

"Stay away from them!" I growl.

"Oh did I strike a nerve?" I brush my fingers through my hair producing a red rose. I hold it in front of my face and glare.

"I will ensure their safety. I'm grateful to them for raising me even if they are not my real family. So in order for me to repay them I'll eliminate any danger that threatens them!" I say as I focus my energy on the rose. "Rose Whip!" A long thorn covered whip replaces the rose and out at the demon. "You will die here, Junso!" I yell whipping the whip at him at an inhuman speed.

"Oh so I did strike a nerve?" Junso laughs in amusement.

"I will ensure their safety!" Finally my whip begins to connect with his flesh leaving scratches all over. "Hyah!" I slash the whip one last time across his chest leaving an open gash.

"Master!" A female demon with a large bust emerges from the trees with another female demon who looks a little younger.

"Big brother!" Wait. Big Brother? That must be… Realization strikes me as I stare at the violet haired girl.

"You're…Jurasa…" I whisper as the girl turns to me with a smile and nods.

"Yes. I'm glad to know that you remember me Yuri Kimura." I smile slightly at hearing my name.

"Well it seems that I have not been forgotten in Demon World." Jurasa smiles and I can see her light blue eyes glimmering.

"Of course you haven't. Stories of you are told to scare children." I smile once more before dropping it and narrowing my eyes.

"What are you doing here?" I ask getting to the point.

"Straight to the point like always, huh?" Jurasa asks with a glimmer in her eyes. "Well you already know why we're here. Big Brother came here to retrieve you," She says with a smile as the other woman picks up Junso. "Take him away and treat him, Suka," Jurasa commands and Suka nods her head as she takes Junso away. "I'll be leaving as well but don't forget Yuri. This isn't the end. We'll be back for you soon," Jurasa says and disappears.

"This is just great. Now I have to create a plan to get rid of those three whom I thought were locked away forever in Spirit World. I'll have to speak to Koenma some time in the future…" I say as I turn my back and exit the forest just in time to meet Shiro and Shuichi.

"Big Sister!" Shiro runs up to me with his small arms wide with his eyes closed and a happy smile on his face.

"Hello Shi. Were you good for Shuichi?" I ask with a soft smile and Shiro nods his head enthusiastically.

"You're younger brother is a very good little boy," Shuichi says with a smile and I turn to him with a smile.

"Thank you for watching him. It's getting late so we'd better get home so I can prepare dinner." Shiro takes my hand and we bid Shuichi goodbye before heading home. The sky is orange and I keep glancing down at Shiro who walks with a smile on his face.

Shiro… How do I protect all of you?

Hi guys! I hope you liked this chapter because next is Chapter 3 of course! In this chapter I'll begin a story from Sakura's past. The days when she was a demon.
