Dear readers,
It is my deepest regrets that I have not been able to update with a large chapter. I have recently received a 'D' in Algebra 1B, and I am starting to write my term paper for English Honors II.
So, I managed to write these pages. I do not think I am going to have this story going for much longer. I have started to write the climax chapter already in my notebook, and I am planning a way to end the story sooner.

Chapter 19 Fragile Hope
Kurama quickly glanced around the room and took notice of the locations of security cameras, and then moved back into the dark corner of the room, "Yusuke, Kuwabara, I would move by Shuuichi if I were you." He said calmly as he took a seed out of his hair and into his palm.
Kuwabara gulped visibly and quickly moved by Shuuichi's bed, Yusuke following right behind.
"KURAMA! This is a big risk!" Yusuke yelled as he saw the small seed in Kurama's palm explode and saw Kurama's ki direct the fragments of seed into the cameras at a speed the un-aided human eye could detect.
"A promise is a promise." Kurama answered simply.
Shuuichi watched the outline of his stepbrothers' body in the shadows in amazement; he knew that there was more to his stepbrother then meet the eye, but he did not know what he was capable of.
Then, Shuuichi's eyes started to close on their own accord, and every thing went black.

"I. I. I missed it. No. This cant be happening." Maaya whispered through chocked sobs, "This is all a lie. It must be. Must be a dream." Maaya walked over to her desk in her dark room, sat down in the chair, folded her arms on the desk and rested her head on them. She felt her tears seep through her long sleeves of her shirt as her body convulsed with sobs.
"Maaya!" Hisae flung the door to Maaya's room open and rushed in and quickly turned on the light, "What is wrong?!"
"Nothing. Nothing mother."
Hisae placed her hands on her daughter's shoulders, "You cannot be crying over nothing!"
"Why. Why is life so hard? I try blindly to find the door that opened when the other door slammed in my face, but I cannot find it."
"What are you talking about? I do not understand what you are saying." Hisae asked, feeling a wave of panic cross over her.
"Its nothing mother! You will never understand!" Maaya stood up abruptly, "You are never there, when I need you, you never have! I try to come to you, but you always leave, tying to brainwash yourself to believe that Koan loves you!" Maya ran past Hisae and out of her room.
Hisae stood transfixed for a moment, running through the things her daughter had flung at her like a weapon, and then ran after Maaya, "Maaya!" Hisae shouted, "Come here!"
But Maaya did not stop to turn around, she continued to run, feeling the ground fly under her feet. Before it registered in her mind, she swiftly ran out of the door.
'Must continue to run. I must forget. I must run!' Maaya thought as her feet connected with the ground almost like a rhythm as she slipped by countless trees while she was penetrating further into the woods that surrounded her home.

How long did I sleep?" Shuuichi asked as his eyes flitted open, 'the last thing I remember seeing was my stepbrother,' he thought, 'that medicine must have knocked me out.'
"Half an hour." An alien voice answered.
Shuuichi blinked and turned his head towards the source of the voice. His eyes locked on a tall, slender, silver haired kitsune who was leaning on the opposite wall with his arms crossed over his chest.
"Are you the kitsune from the stories that my stepbrother told?"
"Hurry it up! Some one is coming!" Yusukes voice called into the room from the hall.
"I have kept my promise. You are not to tell a soul about what has taken place." The kitsune coldly told Shuuichi, not changing his passive expression.
"Can you please tell me your name?" Shuuichi panicked, afraid that the kitsune would vanish.
"Youko, Youko Kurama."
"I recall my stepbrothers friends calling him Kurama."
"That is because I am apart of Kurama." Youko Kurama stated as his ears shifted to pick up the steps coming increasingly closer to the room. His golden eyes took in the layout of the room in flawless detail, and quickly decided that the window was the safest exit.
Youko Kurama glanced over his shoulder to make eye contact with Yusuke, whom nodded in return.
"Excuse me, miss, but could you show me the way to room," Yusuke quickly glanced at the number of the door he was standing by, "945? I am quite lost."
The brunet nurse smiled and nodded, "the room is this way, please follow me."

"Ring around the rosy." Maaya sang softly as she leaned against the trunk of a pine tree, her eyes looking into the distance, "Pocket full of posies, ashes to ashes, we all fall down."
She looked down to the green blades of grass, broke off a piece of grass, and brought it up to her sad eyes, twirling it between her fingers as she continued to sing:
"Dig my grave. Burry me by the sea that I have never seen Bury me with the man I have longed to kiss. Make my grave shallow; so then I can feel the cold rain
So sweet death come and lay your sultry lips on me Take me from this world of pretend, And bring me to reality."

Sadly, that is all I wrote.
I must be going, you have my heartfelt apologies for the shortness of this chapter and the few updates.
