Disclaimer: I don't own YYH or the characters. Just my OCs…by the way, I realized that I didn't give Kaili's parents names or the family a last name so if anyone has any ideas, I'm open XD
Kaili was resting in her room, avoiding everyone. For some reason, she was really upset about Genkai's death. She locked herself in her room with her computer which wasn't bringing much comfort. In fact, it was doing the opposite. She decided to update her journal for a little while; but after sensing Genkai's death, she had little inspiration.
Meanwhile, she decided to check her e-mail. She had four new messages.
K,
I wanted to let you know that you probably won't hear from me for a while. I've decided to join my parents on a trip around the world and I won't really have computer access for a majority of the time. I'll miss talking to you.
J
Kaili frowned thinking about not being able to converse with her oldest friend, but she shook it off. The next e-mail was from her mother.
Kaili,
I just wanted to give you an update on your brother. He's doing much better now that he's in therapy. I'm hoping that when you come back from break that we can all get together. You can bring Shuichi, of course. I love you, baby girl. See you soon.
Love,
Mom
Kaili didn't want to think about her brother, but the next message didn't help matters. Kaili snorted in disgust. Didn't change that much.
Kathalina,
I'm looking forward to seeing you when you get back. I have some unfinished business with you and that freak you hang out with. See you soon, little sis.
Kaili didn't know if it was because of his threat or the last few days, but she was feeling incredibly uneasy. The last message received could have had something to do with it.
Hello Kathalina,
I know about you fraternizing with my team and just to let you know, I'm pissed about it. I'm giving you an ultimatum, daughter. I'm leaving tonight and you will come with me, never to see your friends again or I will tell your mother, and his, the whole truth. I have picture evidence that I am not afraid to use. Meet me in an hour to give your decision.
Your father
Kaili slammed her laptop shut and threw herself on her bed. This whole thing with her father was starting to get to her. What kind of ultimatum was that? She loved Shuichi and wanted to be there for him and with him; but if she chose to stay with him, her father would expose his secret and thus the promise she made to keep his secret would be broken.
"You look very enticing, lying like that."
Kaili's eyes shot open and she sat up to see Kurama in his demon form leaning against the door with his arms crossed. He smirked when she blushed.
"H-How?" Kaili asked. Before she knew it, he was on top of her.
"I heard I have you to thank," he breathed against her neck. She shivered and he chuckled against her. He gently nipped the skin of her neck and massaged her thigh. Kaili gasped and he nuzzled against her neck. "I take it you enjoy that," he said smugly.
"Sh-Shuichi," she stuttered.
"Ah," he gently admonished before nipping her a bit harder, "my name is Youko in this form."
"Y-Youko?" Kaili asked while her mind was in a spin.
Kurama smirked down at her. "Yes, my beautiful little flower?"
"I…" she didn't get to say anything before Kurama kissed her in a rough passion. She didn't fight him. Instead she kissed back with equal force and let her fingers move through his long, silver hair. It was soft and she caught herself wondering if his ears were just as soft. She decided to give into her impulse and pet his fox ears. Kurama let out a muffled growl. His actions confused her, but she shook it off and continued to rub his ears.
"I suggest you stop that, my flower," he told her. Kaili would have taken it as a threat if she didn't know him better and didn't hear the amusement in his voice.
"Why?" she asked.
"Another day," he replied placing another kiss on her lips. Then the potion wore off and he transformed back into his human form.
"Shuichi?" Kaili tried.
Kurama smiled down at her before sliding next to her on the bed. He put his arms around her from behind.
"Forgive me," he said in a deep tone, "but I'm a bit more animalistic in my demon form."
"And a lot more forward," Kaili replied with a smile. "Why'd you growl at me when I pet your ears?"
"If I told you now, you would probably feel awkward and blush, though I'm not opposed to the latter."
He kissed her cheek and Kaili did indeed blush. She playfully hit his arm. "Jerk," she teased. She felt Kurama shake, trying to conceal his laughter.
"I'll tell you another time, Kaili." The teenager nodded, coming down from the euphoria. Once their moment was over, the memory of the e-mails came back to her. Kaili tensed and frowned. Kurama could sense her anxiety in waves. "What's wrong?" Kaili shook her head and then pointed to her computer. Kurama reluctantly let go of her and got up. He lifted the computer screen and saw the e-mail from her father. Kurama looked over to Kaili who was now curled up in fetal position on the bed. "You're not going to leave with him, are you?" His concern for her could be heard in his voice. At this point he didn't care about his secret. If it meant keeping her away from her father, he didn't care. His mother would find a way to accept him and the only opinions that mattered to him was hers and Kaili's.
"If I don't-"
"I will manage," he finished. "I don't want you leaving with him. I don't trust him."
"Shuichi…"
Kurama walked back over to her and sat down on the bed. "Don't worry about it," he said softly while rubbing her arm. "I can handle it…but I can't handle losing you."
Kaili's eyes widened at his confession. "R-Really?" she asked nervously.
Kurama smiled faintly and nodded. "Really."
Kaili was so happy to hear him say that that tears started to form in her eyes. She grabbed onto him and he held her close and let her cry into his chest. Kurama rubbed her back and started playing with some of the strands of her hair.
"I promise I won't let anything happen to you, Kaili," Kurama whispered into her ear.
"I know. And I promise to stay. I won't leave with him."
Kurama nodded and kissed her forehead. "You should get some sleep, now," he told her.
Kaili sighed. "I guess so. Hey, Shuichi, can I stay with you again tonight?"
"Of course," he replied. "I have to go meet the others soon, but I'll be in a little later. I'll try not to wake you."
Kaili smiled. "See you later."
Kurama left her room and his expression darkened. There was one last thing he needed to take care of before he met up with the guys.
Where is that little bitch? Kaili's father thought to himself.
"Looking for someone?" Kurama saw her father shiver when he became aware of his presence.
"What are you doing here, demon?" he asked angrily. "Did my brat open her big mouth?"
Kurama stepped out from the shadows and glared at the man. "Do not talk about her that way. She deserves much better than you." Her father didn't notice him reaching for a small sphere.
"She's a traitor, so I don't really care what she deserves," he snapped back at Kurama. Kurama glared and pressed a released on the sphere and the room filled with a green gas, causing the man in front of him to cough. "What the hell is this stuff?"
Kurama's face hardened as he began to explain. "Have you ever heard of the gingko tree? It has qualities that improved memory. This sphere is created with the same plant, though it has the opposite effect. By the time I'm done with you, you won't remember anything about my secret or the life you've led since Kaili was a child. As I said, she deserves better."
"You just expect me to forget everything and go shrivel away into nothing somewhere?"
"No," Kurama replied. "That is not what I intend to do at all."
"Then what?"
Kurama turned away a bit and smiled. "I'm giving Kaili her father back."
Before her father had a chance to retaliate, he forgot what he was doing in a corridor that he had never seen before. "Who are you?" he asked Kurama.
"I'm your daughter, Kaili's, boyfriend," Kurama told him.
"Oh…where are we?"
"I can answer that." The two turned to see Koenma standing in front of them.
"Koenma?" Kurama said in surprise.
Koenma turned to face Kaili's father. "Sir, I'm here to take you home. Kaili will be following you shortly the day after tomorrow."
"Um, ok?" her father replied, completely baffled as he tried to orient himself to his surroundings.
Kurama looked over in curiosity. Koenma walked over to him. "We wouldn't want him to remember anything about demons, now would we?" Koenma asked in a whisper. "Besides, I can't let an ordinary human with no memory of the supernatural hang around here."
"You're okay with this?" Kurama asked. He hadn't expected Koenma to accept it this well, not that he would have done anything differently.
"Yeah," Koenma replied. "One less Black Black Club member is a good thing, plus I've heard about him from Botan. I feel bad for that girl. Now go to your team meeting. That's an order."
Koenma left with Kaili's father who now had no memory of the Black Black Club or demons, and Kurama went to meet up with his team and discuss the upcoming finals.
Kurama came back to his room fairly late and found Kaili asleep in his bed. He smiled thinking about how beautiful she looked in the moonlight. He quietly slid into bed next to her and put his arms around her.
"Shuichi?" she called out sleepily.
"Sorry for waking you," he said in a whisper.
"It's okay," Kaili replied. "How was your meeting?"
Kurama smirked, though Kaili couldn't see. He decided he would wait until morning when she was more awake before explaining what he did.
"It was good," Kurama responded.
"Good," Kaili said before snuggling closer to him. "Shuichi?"
"Mm-hm?"
"I love you."
Kurama was taken by surprise, but smiled. He didn't know what possessed her to admit it in her sleepy state. Maybe it was because of the finals the next day. What he knew for sure was that he needed to tell her how he felt as well. "I love you too." The two of them fell into a peaceful sleep with smiles on their face. It was too bad that the next day would cause everyone to be on edge.
A/N: Well, I might have an idea for Kaili's mother's name, but none for the father's name. The poll is still up. Hope you guys liked the chapter :3
