I'm sorry for the long delay I just didn't feel like typing it for a while. I had a lot written down in my notebook but I didn't know what to leave in and take out.

Chapter 3

By AnimaeChina

Kurama ordered another youko, who looks a lot like Zelgadis, to bring some food to her. Then he walked over to where Kuronue was sitting. Kanoe threw an apple at Kurama and he caught it.

"Did you wash it?"

"Of course."

Then Kurama sat down next to Kuronue and took a bite out of his apple.

"So, how is hime?" Kuronue asked curiously.

"She's fine but frightened." Kurama answered.

"You're not worried?" Kuronue asked quizzically, facing him.

"Why should I be?" Kurama said coolly, asking another bite.

"You never know what might happen to he in a place like this especially because this is Reikai."

Kurama took another bite, closed his eyes and said, "You're right. I wonder if it was a good idea to have sent her!" He exclaimed.

"Then why don't you go check on them?" Kurama suggested slyly, taking another bite of his apple.

Kuronue let out a flustered sigh, "I can't believe you're calm about this." Then he got up and walked to the Princess Serenity's room.

"Ohime-sama." The youko Kurama sent said politely, coming into Princess Serenity's room, with a tray of food.

Princess Serenity didn't hear the demon she was still sitting on her bed, deep in thought. The demon looked at her sadly and put the tray down on a table.

"Ohime-sama!" The demon called out. Princess Serenity snapped and turned around.

"Nani?" Princess Serenity responded abruptly.

"I-I brought you some food, and don't worry this food is popular with humans in Japan." The youko said nervously, walking to her slowly.

"Arigato." Princess Serenity said politely. "Did Kurama send you?"

The youko nodded tensely. Princess Serenity gave him a kind smile when he handed her the tray. Princess Serenity put the tray on her lap and stared him straight in the eye.

"I don't want to eat alone. Would you please keep me company?" She asked sincerely.

The youko stared at her solemnly and sat next to her.

"Thank you, again." Princess Serenity said again, starting to eat.

Several minutes later Kuronue knocked Princess Serenity's door. Princess Serenity and the youko looked up. When Kuronue went in he was surprised to find that the princess was still unharmed. Then he looked at the youko and let out a sigh of relief.

"Kanashimi you may leave now." Kuronue ordered.

Kanashimi looked at Princess Serenity and she nodded telling him that it was okay. After Kanashimi left Kuronue plopped down beside her. Princess Serenity put the tray on the ground and cleared her throat.

"Gomen nasai, you haven't told me your name." Princess Serenity said diligently.

"Ah, ore wa Kuronue." He said slickly.

"I didn't think you would worry about me." Princess Serenity said delicately, suddenly changing the subject.

Kuronue almost fell off the bed in surprise.

"W-why did you change the subject?!" Kuronue asked flabbergasted.

Princess Serenity stared at him hard. "I thought Kurama would be the only person to really check on me unless he orders somebody else to do it."

"How do you know that Kurama didn't order me?" Kuronue asked inquiringly.

"You were standing right next to Kurama on that day you kidnapped me." She pointed out.

"Good observation." He muttered, scowling.

"What do you want?" She asked rather cruelly.

"Is it okay if I just worry about you just a little bit?" Kuronue asked slyly, staring at her serenely.

After a couple minutes of cold silence Princess Serenity sighed and got up.

"Gomen nasai. I'm just really tense." Princess Serenity apologized.

Kuronue got up and put his hands on her shoulders. Princess Serenity froze, afraid of what he might do to her.

"Relax, I'm going to give you a massage." He told her wryly kneading her shoulders.

Princess Serenity slowly began to loosen up under his touch. She let out small calm breaths and closed her eyes.

"That's right hime, relax."

"I'm a hostage, why are you treating me this way?" Princess Serenity asked tilting her head.

"Taku, you sure are stubborn." Kuronue muttered making a face.

Princess Serenity started giggling making Kuronue stop messaging. He could only stare at her confused. A couple of minutes later Kuronue joined in laughing really hard.

________________________________________________________________________

Kurama who finally finished his apple decided to go check on Princess Serenity. However he wasn't expecting Kuronue to still be in there; getting along with each other. When he was only a couple of meters away from the door he heard them laughing. He felt like as if he had been slapped and just stood in that spot for a couple of moments.

"I'm being stupid." Kurama thought smirking. "Maybe it's a good idea for them to be on good terms, it'll ensure the princess' safety while she is here in Makai."

Kurama knocked on the door and the laughter immediately stopped. Kurama smirked again and walked into the room.

"Kurama-san!" Princess Serenity exclaimed both Kuronue and she looking shocked.

"Doshite?" Kurama asked smiling inwardly.

Silence once again filled the room and caused tension between the three people. Kuronue sighed and got walking toward the door.

"Kuronue where are you going?" Princess Serenity asked.

"It's not fun anymore; the silence is too annoying." Kuronue said opening the door. "Ja ne." He added waving his hand, closing the door behind him.

Princess Serenity shifted uncomfortably and let out a wary sigh. Kurama walked over to the bed and noticed the tray.

"I should have asked Kuronue to bring this out with him." He commented picking it up and placing it on the table.

"Uh..." Princess Serenity murmured looking at him nervously, "It's my fault I'm the one who ate after all." Then she got off the bed and walked towards Kurama. "Why did you come back?"

Kurama turned away from her. "I just wanted to check up on you." He answered bluntly. Princess Serenity smiled at him and walked around him.

"I hope my next question doesn't fluster you but could you give a tour around your hideout?" She asked innocently. Kurama stared at her with his eyes wide.

Princess Serenity blushed and stared at the ground. "I promise I won't run away it's just that since I'm staying her for a while I might as well get accustomed to this place." She babbled.

Kurama smiled faintly, "Okay, I trust you."

Princess Serenity looked at him with surprise and happiness. "Honto! Yokatta!" Then she grabbed his hand. "To prove that I'll keep my promise I want you to hold my hand." She said cheerfully.

Kurama stared at her inquisitively trying hard not to blush. He nodded at her meaning that they would start the tour now.

Another Author's Note: I'm sorry for the extremely long delay. I've been distracted by the new anime I got *nervous laughter* Kareshii Kanoujo no Jijou and New Mobile Suit Report Gundam Wing. Kare Kano is a really good anime but the last episode sucks! GAINAX should have made it longer than twenty-six episodes! I heard that Tokyo Pop/MIXX is doing the translation for the manga. I hope it's much better than the anime (because it'll answer some questions!). Please remember to review! Arigato gozaimasu!
