I own neither Nuriko, Kourin, nor Ryuuen. But the purple cloud is mine. *happy dance*

Purple Cloud

*Kourin...how long have you been here?* He gazed at her form silhouetted by the slowly sinking sun
*Ryuu-chan!* She ran into his arms
*Kourin! Oh, Kourin I've missed you!!* He hugged her tightly
*I missed you too! Ryuu-chan, you did such a good job of being me! But you should have been yourself sooner!* She used her sleeve to wipe the blood from the corners of his mouth
*Who cares about Ryuuen? Kourin, it's so good to see you again!!!!* His face lit up with joy
*Ryuu-chan...it's been so long, 'Nii-chan...* She started to cry
*Aren't you glad it's over?* He patted her back gently
*You have no idea* She sighed
*I had to wait for you too, I have a bit of an idea, don't you think?* He grinned at her
*'Course 'Nii-chan* She buried her face in his shirt, breathing in his smell
*Love...is the name for this Perfect World* He stroked her soft purple hair
*Ryuu-chan, it's going to be a lot more fun now that you're back with me. I won't mind being here anymore* She clung to him
*Ah, my Brilliant Woods, I won't mind it here either* He smiled, and she smiled joyously back
*Welcome back, 'Nii-chan. Welcome home* They stood upon a purple cloud, and watched the sun set.
