Two weeks later, Nali had not come back. Knowing Nali had talked to his mother a lot, Kurama headed off to see if his mom knew where she could be now. When Kurama found his mother, he stopped. She was still in bed, dead from old age and a little illness. 1 week later, was her funeral. Kurama knew everyone there(the YYH gang was there) except for a woman in a black veil. When the funeral was over and everyone left, Kurama went back to see his mkother's coffin before it was lowered into the ground. He stopped behind a tree nearby because the woman with the veil was still there. He could hear what she was saying and was shocked by the familiar voice of Nali.
"Why did you leave, Ms. Minamino," Nali said," Now of all times. I still remember what the last thing you asked me to so is, but...Shuichi hates me now. I complained too much about something little. You knew you weren't going to be there the next day when I visited you the night before you died. You mde me promise that I'd do that favor for you. The only thing is, its not for me to decide. You were the closest thing to a mother for me. I never knew mine, but I thought of you as a mother figure. Shuichi is so lucky to have had you as a mother. I'm sorry I probably can't keep my promise."
With that, Nali threw the veil away and began to cry into her hands.

Kurama came out from behind the tree and walked over to Nali. He wrapped his arms around her and she cried into his chest. Kurama couldn't help a tear leave his eye. He buried his face in Nali's hair.
"I'm sorry," Nali said," Kurama, I'm so sorry."
Kurama held her tighter to him.
"There its nothing you should be sorry about," Kurama said.
"Of course there is," Nali said," I've been acting so stupid. You shouldn't even come near me, least of all touch me."
Nali tried to pull away, but Kurama pulled her closer.
"No," Kurama said," Now you are acting stupid."
After Nali stopped crying, Kurama and her sat on a bench nearby.
"What did you promise my mom?," Kurama asked.
"I don't feel comfortable telling you," Nali said.
"I'll tell you my promise to her if you tell me yours," Kurama said.
"She...she said that she...she wanted me, when we got older, she wanted me to...marry you," Nali said, hesitantly.
Kurama smiled.
"She made me promise to marry you," he said," That's a promise I'll personally make sure we fulfill."
Nali looked at Kurama shocked.
"I love you, Nali," Kurama said," No matter what you may say to me, my heart is yours."
Nali's eyes filled with more tears. Kurama chuckled.
"I love you, too," Nali whispered.
Kurama brushed her tears away and kissed her.

Nali moved back in with the gang and the girl's singing lessons began. They were very good. One day the girls asked to go to the mall. So, they all went.

"Okay," Nali said," Everyone knows what to do. 3 groups of 3 for everyone. Lets go."
Yusuke's usual group went one way(Botan in the lead). Kurama, Nali, and Lika one way and Hiei, Kalia, and Nefi the other way.
As Hiei and Kalia walked beside each other, they both kept an eye on Nefi as she ran over to different windows to look inside the shops.
"Her birthday is next week," Kalia said.
"You're going to make me get her something, aren't you?," Hiei said.
"What do we get her?," Kalia asked.
"What do you get 4 year olds?," Hiei asked.
"A stuffed bear," Kalia said, smiling," Wait, I have an idea. Nefi, come here!"
Nefi turned and jumped into Hiei's arms, almost knocking him off balance. Kalia giggled.
"What do you want for your birthday?," Kalia asked," You'll be turning 4."
"I don't know," she said.
"If you got a weapon, what would it be?," Hiei asked, causing Kalia to give him a "ARE YOU MAD?" kind of look.
"Thats easy, a katana," Nefi said, jumping down and going back to looking at shops.
"Well," Kalia said," She picked something we can get, and also something we are both able to use perfectly."
Just then, they saw Yusuke, Botan, and..the Baka.
"Botan," Kalia called," Can you take Nefi with you guys for awhile?"
"Sure," said Botan, and the group left with Nefi.
"There is the weapons shop," Hiei said, grabbing Kalia and dragging her in.
"Somehow, I have a feeling you want something from here, too," Kalia said.
"No," Hiei said.
After an hour, they had gotten the perfect katana for Nefi. Everyone was at Koenma's by the time they got back. Nefi and Lika were tucked into bed. Everyone had gotten something different for Nefi. After showing what they got, everyone went up to bed.
When Kalia stopped in front of her room, Hiei turned around.

"Where are you going?," Hiei asked.
"Its my room and our handcuffs are off, Hiei," Kalia reminded him.
Hiei blushed.
"Sorry, guess I got used to you being there," he said.
"Don't tell me you want me to stay wit you?," Kalis said.
["Of course I do."
Hiei had sent that telepathically(if you forgot) as he walked into his room, leaving the door open.
["Hiei?"
Kalia walked into the room. She jumped as the door snapped shut behind her.
["Oh, boy."
Then, from behind, Hiei grabbed her, scaring her that she yelped softly. Hiei was laughing.
["Shut up."
["Make me."
Hiei was still laughing.
["SHUT UP!"
["I said,"MAKE ME"."
["Fine."
Kalia then kissed him. He stopped laughing instantly. He smiled.
["You wanted me to do that, didn't you?"
["It was the easiest way without asking."
Hiei pulled her onto his bed.
["What are you doing?"
Hiei flipped it so that he was on top of her.
"Hiei, what-?," Kalia said, but was cut off by Hiei's french.
After 2 minutes:
"Hiei, what are you doing this for?," Kalia asked.
"Kali, isn't it obvious?," Hiei said," I was embarrassed about it before. Kali, I love you."
["I love you, too, Hard Head."
Hiei chuckled and cuddled close to Kalia.
