I feel kinda iffy about this chapter but I'll let you decide whether its good or not.


Chapter Twelve: Feelings of Worry

Kurama's jaw opened in a large yawn, his teeth glittering under the light from crystals. His red eyes focused on the feminine form sitting at the cave entrance. She brushed her fingers through her tangled hair before giving up with a huff. He smiled and stretched out on his side. He scooted closer to her till his snout was next to her. She looked up and him and smiled. Her hand reached out to stroke his muzzle. The act always made him notice their size difference. She barely reached the top of his muzzle.

"When can I wake up Kurama?"

"When I deem that your body has healed sufficiently. The overflow of chakra that allowed for me to be released took its toll on you."

Aurorah nodded in understanding. They both perked up when they heard voices. There were three of them, one she knew was Jazz and the others she was pretty sure was the twins. From the sounds of it they were arguing. About what she couldn't really make out but she heard Kurama growl and she turned to him.

"What are they arguing about?" she asked. The fox huffed irritably.

"About you of course. It's not the first time. Jazz it being an overreacting idiot and refuses to let the twins near you."

"What, that's not fair. It's not like they asked to be in this position. I'm surprised they are even worried. After Sideswipe brought me here I didn't exactly spend time with him and Sunstreaker, well I'm going to hazard and guess and say he's not very fond of me."

"I don't think he's fond of anyone. Anyways they have to be worried, your condition affects them as well and Jazz's stubbornness is only making it worse."

"How so?"

"Well, from what I gathered from Ratchet, your bond with them is fragile. It's best for them to stay close to you so it doesn't break which can be deadly for all of you. But Jazz isn't seeing the ramifications of this, all he sees it that are intruders. He is blind."

Aurorah looked down at her hands and fidgeted. She couldn't help but think this was her fault. She should have put up a better fight. Maybe if she hadn't been so weak she could have stopped that bond from forming with Sunstreaker and they wouldn't be in this position.

"I have to do something." She said, looking up to Kurama.

He shook his head at her. "No, like I said your body isn't ready."

"It's doesn't matter if it's ready or not. I can't let Sideswipe and Sunstreaker suffer because Jazz is being a douche. Now let me wake up." She demanded of him. Kurama stood up and glared down at the human, a snarl curling his lip. Why was everyone so stubborn? Did she not see that he was trying to help her? She looked up at him, defiance clear in her blue eyes and he sighed.

"Fine you idiot girl but do not blame me if something goes wrong." He growled in warning. She fisted her hands and grinned.

"Chill out Kurama, I got this!"


"Fer the last time, Ah said no! Ah don' want ya anywhere near her." Jazz growled, armor bristling.

"And for the last time we said we are going to stay." Sideswipe said firmly. The twins stood before Jazz, their stance just as defensive. They had no plans of backing down this time. They had been giving in to the saboteur for a while now and it was only making it worse for them. The needed to be closer to Aurorah now as the bond was straining; they needed for her to wake up so they could merge their sparks and ease the pain.

"What part of leave don' ya get?"

"The leave part."

Jazz's snarl was threatening and Sunstreaker answered with one of his own. This was getting ridicules. He had never known Jazz to be so hardhelmed. Did he not see the problem before him; that his little mate was in trouble if they didn't stay. He could already feel the pull and slag if he didn't like it. But what was done was done.

"THAT IS ENOUGH!" a voice roared.

All three mechs froze as they felt the heat of a powerful force descend on them. They turned to the table were Aurorah was resting to find her wide wake, a blazing red aura encasing her body. The aura strangely resembled the fox from the warehouse. They took in the slight changes in her appearance. Her blue eyes had bleed into a fiery crimson and were surrounded by what looked like heavy eyeliner. Her teeth had sharped to points as she growled at them, her lips now black and her hands now sported sharp claws that looked as if they would be deadly to any human. She reminded them of a feral animal.

"Aurorah…" Jazz whispered, not even daring to move closer. Their bond was still closed but he didn't need it to see she was mad.

"No, you have been quite troublesome Jazz. I will be going with the twins so that we may strengthen this small bond. I do not care that you don't like it, it must be done." She exclaimed, her voice caring a harshness to it that had Jazz nodding meekly to her demands.

The doors to the med-bay burst opened and Ratchet and Optimus came marching in. They took a look at than scene before them before Ratchet walked over to Aurorah. She didn't even flinch as he scanned her, the readings off the cart. The medic turned to the Prime.

"Aurorah, please calm yourself, your vitals are too high." Ratchet said. Aurorah froze and her body shivered as if it finally realized the stress it was putting on it. A heavy sigh left her lips as her body fell limp. The bots watch at the aura surrounding her sizzled away and the feral features disappeared. Her hands went to her head and she felt Kurama trying to soothe her nerves.

'You let yourself get too riled up. You're going to have to learn to rain in your emotions. '

"A lot easier said than done." She whispered. She felt a brush of softness by her leg and looked down to see Deidara, her green-gold eyes filled with worry. A smile wormed itself onto her face and she let her hand glide through her fur. She took a few moments to herself before turning to the bots watching her.

"I'm sorry." She said softly, waiting for one of them to yell at her. None came though as Optimus spoke up in a kind voice.

"It is quite alright. We would like to know what happened though."

"Oh, well, I heard Jazz and the twins arguing and wanted to stop it, but I guess I woke up really angry, I don't know why."

'Kurama, do you know why?' she asked.

'It could be that your body was still in a state of attack.' He said.

"Optimus, I would like to request some time with Sideswipe and Sunstreaker." She asked. She saw Jazz flinch and his armor flare but otherwise he said nothing. She felt bad about doing this to him as she knew he was upset but it had to be done. There was a push at the block to her bond with him and without hesitation she removed the block Kurama had made and let Jazz in.

It was like a flood had been released. She felt Kurama retreat with a hiss as Jazz moved in. It was like she was surrounded with his warmth. His worry for her was heavy and she tried to soothe him with pulses if love. She still wasn't very good at the whole bond thing but she tried.

In the back she could feel Sideswipe and Sunstreaker. She was tempted to beckon them over but knew Jazz would not appreciate it. She would deal with them in a little while.

~:Worried, so very worried.:~ Jazz sent.

~:I know, fine now. Kurama kept me safe.:~ she reassured. Her mind was so swamped with his emotion that she almost couldn't handle it. Besides his worry, he desire to keep her to himself was great. He didn't want to share her with the twins.

'Have to merge with twins, could die otherwise.'

There was a defeated feel to his spark as he gave in. She felt even worse about everything as he pulled away. She reached out to him wanting to rid him of the doubt he was feeling.

'Jazz always first. Jazz mine.' She desperately sent. Jazz returned the sentiment before lightly closing the bond. He was going to give her time with Sideswipe and Sunstreaker. She knew afterwards she would have to make it up to him though.

She was brought out of her mind when she heard Optimus speak up.

"I will relieve Sunstreaker and Sideswipe of duty for the rest of the day. You two make sure you are back on patrol tomorrow morning." He said. Both the twins nodded and went over to Aurorah. She watched sadly as Jazz left the room. Nobody called him out as they could all feel his tightly coiled EM field. He wanted to be left alone.

"Jazz will be alright Aurorah." Optimus reassured, placing a finger on her shoulder. She sighed, her hand reaching up to pat the warm finger.

"I know he will."
