Rei took advantage of the stock still silence. She sent a blast of energy towards Toshi, who was already injured. His body thudded against the ground, eyes widened from the sudden shock of her blow.
"How- how-" he stuttered, dumbfounded as he slowly stood.
Tazaki stared at her in a mix of surprise and confusion as he stared at Rei who was panting hard, hate and spite etched in her face. Rei let out another explosion of energy towards Toshi.
"Stupid girl!" Tazaki yelled as he charged forwards.

Where are you? Kurama thought sadly as he stared at the setting sun. Its red glow washed over him as he looked unblinkingly ahead. He squinted as he spotted a figure in the distance. He leaned forwards and his eyes widened as the figure became closer. Was it- was it really-
Rei limped slowly and painfully towards the ever closer town. She stopped short as she saw a figure running towards her. But- it really is you. She smiled as the person became clearer. Kurama.
He stopped her from falling, "Rei, what happened to you?"
"Nothing." she muttered as he eyes slowly closed, "Absolutely nothing." And for the first time in awhile, she felt safe and secure in his arms.

"Idiot." he grumbled as he washed away the crusted blood on her forehead. She was calmly sleeping, as if nothing had happened. What had she done this time?
"Mmm" she murmured contentedly in her sleep.
He grinned as he stepped back to look at her. She looked so peaceful, an expression he didn't see too often on her face. One of his fingers stroked her face. Before he knew it, his face was leaning towards hers. At that exact moment, Rei chose to wake up. Kurama felt her hand make hard contact with his cheek, "Well, morning to you too."
"Is this how you treat people in their sleep?" she asked, a good amount of enragement in her voice.
"How did you get those injuries?" He asked, voice and face now hardened.
She looked stricken and turned away, "None of your business." He suddenly grabbed her by the shoulders and forced her to look at him.
"Will you quit covering up everything? You're not alone in this world." Kurama said roughly.
Rei stared defiantly back at him. Then she sighed. There was no point from constantly hiding, "It was my father. He abducted me and- and I escaped." It wasn't an elaborate description, but he didn't need to know anymore than that.
He looked at her in shock. Speechless for a second, he regained his voice, "But why did he-"
"Why do you need to know?" she rudely interjected.
"Because you always turn up getting hurt. You know why? Because you don't let anyone care about you." Kurama said, a little calmer now.
She glared at him, "Where the hell am I?" Rei growled angrily.
"My house." He said with his maddeningly calm voice.
"I'm leaving." She said gruffly and grabbed her bag next to the bed and swung out of bed. As she stood up, pain shot through her, forcing her to fall onto the ground.
"You're still not fully healed yet." Kurama said in a softer tone and helped her back onto the bed.
"Thanks." she murmured. Rei began sifting through her bag. She lifted the ring her mother had given her so long ago. The morning sun glinted off the gold, making it shine beautifully. And the the jewel encrusted in it caught the light so perfectly.
"Whats that?" Kurama asked softly.
She smiled serenely, "My Mother's ring. She gave it to me when I was little." Fighting the blush that spread over her face, she slowly slid it onto her finger.
"It must mean a lot to you." he said gently.
"It does." she grinned, "A lot more meaning than you'd understand."
He looked at her in confusion as she laughed silently to herself. What had she meant by that last sentence? Brushing it aside, he brought his attention to her laughing eyes. They sparkled like gold, burning with intensity and truth, a neverending fire. If he stared long enough, he was soon drawn deep into those golden orbs, and he always found comfort in her eyes.
mushy fluff for people who have long awaited it! kay, next chappie coming your way!
