Chapter 4: Never Take Yoko to the Museum

You're standing in the woods. The moonlight gives everything an eerie glow. A flash of silver and Yoko Kurama is standing before you.

"What are you doing here, my sweet?" he asks

" I just wanted to see you," you reply

" Is that all? That's too trivial a reason to be coming into these dangerous woods," he says without interest

" I wanted to ask if you wanted to come with me to the museum tonight, Kurama" you say

Yoko Kurama folds his arms over his chest. His fox-ears flick lightly, and the moonlight glistens off his silver hair. He closes his golden eyes in thought. You watch, simply captivated by his attractive looks.

" Alright. I was getting bored here anyways," he says

You then lead him to your room first.

"We're going to have to put you in some normal clothes first," you tell him, " We'll have to cover your ears too,"

You snuck some of your father's old clothes and have them folded and waiting on the bed. It's a black button up shirt and canvas colored khaki's. You hand Kurama a hair tie.

" What will we do with your tail?" you ask

" Fine!" Kurama glowers. He concentrates and his tail disappears.

" Would you tie up your hair for me too?" you ask sweetly

Kurama goes into the bathroom and changes. He comes out and you can't help but note how handsome he is in the outfit. His hair is tied into a neat ponytail. For a final touch, you add a black ski style cap to cover the ears.

" There you look great," you say

Kurama looks himself over in the mirror.

" You ningens are weird," is all he says

Now it's your turn. You go to the bathroom and change into a long black skirt and a red tank top. Then you pull your hair back and apply a little clip to it.

You come out and Kurama looks you over. He smiles. You grab your purse just incase. You two finally get on your way to the museum. You take his hand. Then he gets a weird face

"What is it?" you ask

"You smell like a virgin," he says

" Would you rather I smelled like Christina Aguilera?" You reply

" You don't have smell that experienced," Kurama says

He then starts out of the room.

"C'mon I don't mind. It's just been a while since I smelled a virgin,"

You follow him out the door despite the weird comment.

***********At the Museum*********

You enter through double glass doors. The museum is lit beautifully.

"I'm so glad that this museum is free admission," you say

Kurama looks around.

" What is a museum anyway?" he asks

" A museum is where they keep ancient artifacts and things," you explain

You pull a brochure from a rack and consult the map of the museum.

" Where do you want to go?" you ask Kurama, " There's a Greco-Roman wing, an Ancient Egyptian Wing, Ancient China and Japan Area, a wing for the Americas, Renaissance Area, and a gallery dedicated to Modern art too. There is even an exhibition on diamonds. "

" I don't know about human history. You choose," he says

" I think the Ancient Egyptian wing would be cool," you say

You follow the signs and head right. There are mummies, death masks and models of the pyramids. Also in the room are golden idols and ancient Egyptian coins.

" It says here that these idols were probably buried along with that girl mummy over there for protection. They're made of pure Egyptian gold. " You read from a placard. The idol is in a glass display case. Kurama comes over and looks at the idol. He stares at it for a very long time. You shake him and he finally comes out of his daze.

Then you move onto a display that shows an Egyptian necklace made out of gold and an assortment of Ancient Egyptian coins.

" Kurama can you read?" you wonder absently

"Of course," he answers

" Good then you can read the placard," You smile

" This necklace was recovered from the pyramid of Pharaoh Yami. It is believed that a high-ranking servant wore them. These gold coins were probably only used for trade with foreign lands," he reads

"C'mon lets go to the Greco Roman Wing," you say

Kurama seems reluctant to leave but comes anyway.

"Ningens just put these things on display with no security?" Kurama asks.

'"Of course not, there's probably lasers and alarms around everything," you say.

You swing a left and find your self in a room full of statues. There are statues of Athena, Aphrodite, and Apollo. There's a tour guide up ahead explaining things. You signal to Kurama and he follows you to her.

"This carving is believed to depict a scene from the myth of how Persephone was kidnapped by Hades and how the four season's were created," She explains while gesturing to the carvings behind her. You listen intently to her, and when you turn to see if Kurama is listening he isn't there. You look around and when you turn back he's there. His hair is out of its ponytail now though.

"Where'd you go?" you wonder

"Nowhere," he says nonchalantly

You two then head to the next room. This room has an ancient loom, busts of Ancient Greeks, Athenian vases, and some ancient Roman silver ware. In the display with the silver ware the placard says that the dish and spoons were made of real silver. Kurama is looking fixedly at the display case. Also in the display with the loom there is a brocade of gold.

'This is an authentic loom discovered at the ruins in Pompeii. The Historical Society wove the brocade for the display. It is made of real gold thread.' The sign reads

"Isn't it cool?" you ask

"Yes," Kurama says.

His attention is drawn to the gold brocade. He then goes to look at the silverware display. You two walk to the Ancient China and Japan wing.

Here you admire a presentation of ancient Samurai Armor. There is also a display of oracle bones. When you turn to Kurama he is mysteriously gone again. You look around. He's back by your side. You feel a hand on your butt, when you look back Kurama is on the other side of the room, whistling.

"Where were you this time," you ask

" Just wanted to ask a guide about the armor," he says. There is a gleam in his eyes. In another room you find Jade statues and amazing ink paintings. In one display though, is a sword made out of gold. Then you move on to the ancient America's exhibit where there is a gold shield from the Incan Civilizations. Kurama kept disappearing at odd intervals. Finally the last exhibit you go to see is the diamond display. It's beautiful. There are blue diamonds, big diamonds, and small diamonds. They all glitter and shine.

"It's so beautiful," you gasp

You two leave the museum. Just as you're walking out the door

"Stop Thief!" A guard yells

Kurama breaks into a run. You can barely catch up with him.

" Kurama, please tell me you did not rob the museum," you huff as you two run.

"Of course I did," Kurama answers

You hear police sirens behind you. You and Kurama run into a bookstore to hide. A policeman comes in. You and Kurama duck into an aisle. You grab a magazine and hide behind it. Soon the policeman leaves. You breathe a sigh of relief.

" Alright he's gone," you say. There's no reply. You turn and see that Kurama is looking at a copy of Playboy. " Pervert!" you say, grabbing the magazine. You put it back on the shelf, grab Kurama's hand, and lead him out of the store. You start walking again, trying to blend in to the crowds on the busy sidewalk.

" They're over there," you hear someone shout

You turn and there are policemen moving towards you. Once again you and Kurama run like heck. You turn into a more deserted street and keep running. At this point your lungs are getting ready to burst. Finally Kurama stops.

" Where is the stuff you stole anyway?" you ask huffing and puffing.

Kurama then pulls a bag out of his hair.

" How did you?" you ask wonderingly

"I pulled the bag from a little subspace in my hair. It's a power I've always had. Robbing the museum was easy. All I had to do was short-circuit the cameras, the laser and the alarms. Then I knocked out the guards." He explains. You then hear the sound of police sirens. Kurama picks up the bag and hoists it over his shoulder. You sprint away and then turn left onto a dark road. Then you hear a growl behind you. You turn. There are three Doberman dogs, snarling and looking ready to attack. Kurama and you dart from the spot.

"Those dogs are going to rip us to shreds," you shout

" Don't worry I'll protect you," Kurama yells

" Then who would protect me from you?" you ask

" Actually my dear I was talking to the loot," he says

You two make another left turn and then run right. The dogs are still after you.

" Now might not be a good time to ask, but I was wondering if maybe you would do me the honor of sleeping with me?" Kurama asks you

" If we survive this and if I don't get life in prison, then maybe," you huff

You run down another road and turn. The dogs have finally run out of energy. You follow the road, and it leads to a dead end with a brick wall. Kurama kicks it.

" I'm sorry, but it's rock hard and it's not coming down," he says

" Well what do we do?" you ask

"If we work at it we might be able to get it down," Kurama says pulling a mallet from his hair.

"Don't you realize how long that will take," you say

"If you push hard enough it should only take 20 minutes," he says

Kurama then puts down the bag and starts hitting the wall with a mallet.

He keeps hitting and after a long while he gets worn out.

" Alright you take over now. It's so dark I can't even see if I'm making any progress," he complains

You feel around on the ground and then you feel a flashlight. You hit it and then turn it on. The flashlight still works. You shine the light on the place where Kurama was hitting and it shows a small indent.

"All that hard work for that?" Kurama says

He takes the mallet and starts hitting the spot again. You move the light along the wall

" Um Kurama," you say

" Yes," he says, a little annoyed

" Why don't we just try the door?" You say

Kurama looks to where you're shining the light now. There is a wooden door there. He takes the mallet and smacks through the door. He walks through the hole. Just then you hear police sirens and see flashing red and blue lights. Kurama tries to get back through the hole to get his bag, but you push him though.

" The bag," he says

"Leave it!" you say

There were actually woods behind the door. Kurama seems to recognize them and takes your hand. He leads you far into the woods and into a cave. In the cave there is a wooden door. Kurama knocks three times and the door opens. You see that it was an old toad like creature that answered the door.

"Juju, I need to stay for the night," Kurama says

You and Kurama walk in. Juju seems to have made a makeshift home here. There's a fireplace, wooden furniture, and shelves.

"You can share my bed," Juju says

" Sorry, I'm not that desperate for sex just yet," Kurama, says coolly taking a seat on one of the wooden chairs. Juju then notices you.

" Come in," he gestures

" Kurama, did you bring this lovely creature to be my bride?" Juju says

"I'd rather be tied up and whipped," you say

" I didn't know you were into S and M," Kurama said deviously

" Whatever," you say, "Am I sleeping here tonight?" you ask stepping into the house.

" It is late and your house is a good two miles away," Kurama says

You pull out your cell phone and dial home.

" Hey mom I'm staying over at Ann's tonight. So don't worry about me," you say

"Okay sweetie," your mother replies

" Great mom! Bye. Huh? Oh. Can you hear me now? Can you hear me now? Can you hear me now? Okay great"

You hang up.

" Ann knows to play along if I ever get stuck somewhere overnight," you explain

"Juju, do you have a place for her to sleep?" Kurama asks

"She can crash on my couch and you can have the guest bedroom," Juju explains.

"Thank you," both you and Kurama say

Kurama goes into a room and comes back out in his normal white tunic, and he has his tail back. Kurama goes into what you suppose to be the kitchen area. Juju follows. Curiosity gets the better of you and you follow too. Kurama is looking in what seems to be an icebox.

" Oh Juju good you have some beer. I'm really thirsty," Kurama says

Kurama takes out a red bottle and downs half of it in minutes.

" Kurama, wait no that's-," Juju says

Kurama then gets a weird look on his face. He jumps at you. You dodge.

" What in the heck did he just drink?" you shout.

Kurama walks toward you, trying to corner you.

" That was an aphrodisiac called Passion Juice," Juju said

" A substance to increase sexual desire?"

" Yeah basically," Juju confirms

You narrowly slip from Kurama again.

"What do we do?" you shout, making yet another narrow escape.

"Keep him distracted," Juju says

You dodge again

'Easy for him to say' you think

Then Kurama traps you against the wall. Just then Juju pulls Kurama to the floor and ties him up. Then Juju hits Kurama on the head with a mallet. Kurama is out cold.

" Now what?" you ask

" We should probably take him to the bed and let him sleep it off," Juju suggests. You two pick up Kurama and with a lot of effort you manage to carry him to the guest room and put him on the bed. Just as you two are about to leave Kurama wakes up and starts struggling against the ropes.

"Let me go. Must find girl," he says

Juju runs into the living room, gets the mallet, comes back, and knocks Kurama out.

" He took a lot of that Passion Juice, so one hit won't keep him out for too long. Maybe you should stay here with him and hit him if he wakes up," Juju says handing you the mallet. He walks out the door.

" Wait! How long will he be affected?" you ask

" The Passion Juice should wear off by morning," Juju says

You sit and watch Kurama sleep. He wakes.

"Big, soft round things," he says * bang * he's out cold.

An hour later he wakes up again.

"Pretty girls," Kurama mumbles. * bang * he's knocked out again

Two hours later he wakes again.

" I want the cherry," he murmurs. * bang * he falls back to sleep.

Finally, you can't stand it anymore. You flop onto the bed and close your eyes. The sound of Kurama breathing softly next to you lulls you to sleep.

************The next morning*******

"C'mon sleepy head its time to get up," Kurama says

You yawn.

" It's morning already? I can't tell. There are no windows in this place," you say sleepily

"Yes, it's morning. C'mon you need to get home," Kurama says

You wake up and then go outside. Juju is at the breakfast table.

" Have some breakfast," he entreats

" After last night? No," Kurama says

You two walk home through the woods. The morning air is warm today and the birds are chirping their morning song. You and Kurama finally make it back to your place. Kurama walks you up to the back door. You get a key from under the mat.

" So, will I see you again?" you ask

" Maybe," he says smiling

Then you kiss him on the cheek, go inside, and lock the door. You go up to your room and go to bed.

***********************Lunchtime*********

Your friends call you out for a lunch at McDonalds and an afternoon at the mall. You're starving so you agree. You reach for your wallet to pay and find it's empty except for few strands of silver hair.

" Kurama!" you scream

So that was Yoko's chapter, having fun yet? Couldn't resist throwing in the references to Yu-gi-oh and the cell phone commercials. Maybe I was a little too risqué this chapter. I know that I was definitely weird with this. It was tough trying to come up with jokes here. I'm not much of a comedian, but I'm trying. Thank you for reading anyways.
