I cock my head to the decide hoping to god that my eyes don't flash any type of excitement or anything else. Because really... what 7-year-old fan girls like that. I hold back a chuckle at my thoughts. The doctor and Shiori help me into the bed and look up at Kurama's calculatingly cold eyes. I want to look away under the weight, but I know his character enough not to.
"Shuichi dear, this is Londyn. She's going to be staying with us for a while." She smiles and he bows stiffly. "A pleasure." he says softly. You nod and finally look down, but you can tell he's still glancing at you. Shiori and Kurama exchange a few words but I laid back and started to feel a little tired. How could I not? I notice a calendar hanging up and look closer. October...?! Its been... awhile. I decided that that's way too depressing and look at the pink bunny. I look up when Shiori stands up.
"I'm going to make a few phone calls outside the door." She opens the door and closes it with a click and Kurama sits down facing me. I look over at him and sigh. "You're not human." I say softly. His eyes go wide for a moment and then narrow in suspicion. I hold my hands up in surrender hoping he gets the clue. He watches me for a few more moments. "How do you know?" I shrug. "There's a lot I know."
"Your accent is different. Where are you from?" I look into his eyes. "America. Tennessee to be exact." He seems to think this over and continue to push on. "You speak pretty well to be a foreignor." I pause for a minute. That small detail seemed to escape my mind. How was I able to speak and read a language I've never learned. How did I even end up here? Is this even real? I shake my head as it stands pounding with question after question. "I don't think I belong here Kur-Shuichi." His eyes widen again but the door opens to SHiori and the doctor. Kurama gets up and stands next to the chair and they walk up to the end of the bed.
"Good news Ms. Londyn. There's nothing wrong. No concussion or anything just some unusual brain activity but it could be the stress of what's gone on recently. Nothing to worry about. Your free to go." I smile and say my thanks bowing slight and get up off the bed and grab the bunny. Shiori leads us out of the hospital room and towards the entrance. We walk outside and the sun has begun to set as we start heading down the road. I'm behind Shiori and Kurama is a half-step next to me. Shiori is telling us about tomorrow and all the things needed to be done.
We reach a driveway set a little far back. We start walking up and there is a little blue looking house. With rose bushes and flowers alike growing around the house and a tree in from. Looking somewhat half dead. I noticed that its peaceful. Almost like it's in its own little world. I smiled as I walk with Kurama and Shiori opens the door. I walk in and there's a small hallway with a coat rack and a place for shoes. Walking in more to the left there's the kitchen with a table and if you go further the living room is on the right with the stairs to go up. I look around and go into the kitchen then into the living room and I peek up the stairs. I turn and see Shiori smiling warmly as she hangs up her purse.
"Would you like to see your room?" I nod and she walks upstairs, and I follow. She points to the far door in front of us explaining that it's her room and next to hers is Kurama's and that the door in between in the bathroom. She stops at the first door on our left and she opens it. There is a large bed with a white down feather comforter with two end tables on each side and a closet door and then to the left there is a large dresser and mirror vanity closest to the door with a desk right against the window. I smile brightly and turn bowing slightly. "Thank you, ma'am, for everything." She smiles and shakes her head laughing. "Tomorrow we will go shopping and get you signed up for school. Stop by the station for missing persons..." She trails off, thinking about everything needing to get done. I nodded and watched as she walked away. I wander into the room and sit in the middle of the floor facing the door.
Kurama was a fox demon... Everyone who watched the show knew that but anyone who knew the animal knew they were curious and suspicious. I decided earlier that I wasn't going to hide anything. Maybe not bare my soul... how could I trust him. I knew him but this... this was a whole another ball game. And just like that the door opened a little as Kurama slips through and closes with a sharp click. I look up at him and cock my head to the side. He watches me like a tight coil ready to snap.
"I'm not your enemy Shuichi." he smirks slightly and sits in the chair to the desk. I continue to look at the door. "You know my name. You almost said it. Say it now." He commands. I turned my head to the left to see him out of my eye. "Your awfully brilliant for an 8-year-old, Kurama." He narrows his eyes and smirks again. "Your awfully well spoken for a 7-year-old Londyn." I smiled at my name and turned only so I could face him. "Tell me your truth and I shall decide to keep you or get rid of you..." He starts. I shiver slightly and drop my smile. Well that was rude. I think softly.
"You don't make me WANT to do anything there darlin." I say with a slight twang to my voice. I seemed to have caught him off guard and he recovers quickly but I still giggle. "You seem to know a lot about me, and I want to know why. Your clearly not from spirit world although you have spirit energy." I consider what he's saying but not fully processing it. I sigh loudly. "Fiiine. I'm 23. As I said earlier, I was born and raised in America. Normal family with siblings. My life was good Kurama. I was almost done with College, set to graduate and I decided to go out. Me and a few friends..." I say getting softer as tears start to spring into my eyes, "Went to a bar and we were dancing and having a good time. This guy tried to take me home and I said no. He grabbed me and wouldn't let go and..."
There was a knock at the door, and it opens to Shiori. "Oh, I'm glad to see you guys talking! Shuichi dear, can you help me finish dinner and set the table?" He stands up and she disappears from the door and he starts walking out then stops and turns slightly. "I shall believe you for now. I trust you'll tell me the rest when we talk next." He leaves and I just simply stare at the door. I stand up and walk down the stairs slowly. I walk into the kitchen and let me tell you, it smells amazing! I walk over to the sink and wash my hands and turn to Shiori. She smiles and hands me a bag. "This is for after dinner. A friend stopped by with some clothes until tomorrow." I nod and run and take it upstairs, coming back down to the kitchen, and sit at the table. I glance every so often at Kurama and watch then shake myself out of it and look down.
Dinner passes quickly and Me and Kurama clean up the dishes and we go back up to our bedrooms. He goes to his probably to finish homework and I go to mine to just lay on the bed. I stare at the wall and ceiling for I don't know how long before sleep overtakes me.
