Chapter 7: Together..again?!

~ At school the next day ~

Yusuke: YOU KISSED HER?!?

Keiko: Really, Kur-- I mean, Shuichi?

Kurama: *nods* She eased up after she felt she had someone to talk to..

Kuwabara: Man, if I ever had to kiss a girl like Sumomo, I'd be barfing for days!

Sumomo: *walks up behind Kuwabara* Really, Kuwabara? If I'd have to kiss someone like YOU, I'd be toxicated and most probably near death..

Kuwabara: You'd better watch it!

Sumomo: *raises a fist*

Kuwabara: *cowers* Don't hurt me! I DIDN'T MEAN IT!!!

Sumomo: *puts fist down; walks over to Kurama and slings her arms around him* Well, I gotta go to trig class *kisses Kurama on the cheek* Bye, Shuichi..bye, guys..

Kurama: See you later, Sumomo

Sumomo: *walks away*

Yusuke: Wow, you really like that girl..

Koenma: *behind them; clapping*

Kurama: Koenma, sir?!?

Koenma: You seem to be getting along well with Sumomo

Yusuke: You don't know the half of it..

Kuwabara: Yeah! At first, she was a man-eating tigress who hated Kurama's guts, and now she's kissing him!

Yusuke: She hasn't changed her opinion of you, though..

Kuwabara: Can it, Urameshi..

Keiko: I actually find it quite sweet! ^-^

Koenma: Kurama, before you get all lovey-dovey with Sumomo, there is something want to know about her *pulls Kurama into Spirit world*

~ In Koenma's office ~

Kurama: What? What is it about Sumomo?

Koenma: She's--

Sumomo: *barging through the doors to Koenma's office* Koenma, sir, I came as soon as I--*sees Kurama*

Koenma: --here..

Kurama: Sumomo?

Sumomo: Shuichi?

Koenma: I don't believe that is the true name..for either of you..Kurama and Hotaru..

Kurama and Sumomo: You're--

Sumomo: Kurama? Yoh-ko Kurama? Is it really you?

Kurama: Hotaru? The demon slayer?

Kurama and Sumomo: *nodding at the opposite's questions*

Sumomo: But..but how? You were shot down..

Kurama: *takes out the Iduun box gas*

Sumomo: Is that..what I think it is?

Kurama: The gas of the Iduun box can make one into his or her younger form..for me, Yoh-ko Kurama..

Sumomo: *pulls out her own version of the gas* and for me, Hotaru..

Kurama and Sumomo: *release gas*

Kurama: *In Yoh-ko Kurama form (human body w/ claws, fox ears, and yellow eyes)*

Sumomo: *In long white flowing shirt and long, black, skirt-like pants (like Kikyo from Inu-Yasha's outfit); Dark blue hair; green eyes; quiver strapped to her back* Kurama! *runs to him and hugs him tightly*

Kurama: *returns the embrace* Hotaru..so the person closest to you that you lost was--

Hotaru: --you..*tear flows down her cheek*

Kurama: I never wanted to leave you..

Hotaru: How..how did you end up in the living world? You were shot down..I saw it with my own eyes..

How was that?

I worked really hard on this fic so far..but I've had my share of slacking off too..I've already written up to chapter 11, and I've only typed this far! Stay tuned for the next chapter:

THE PAST IS REVEALED!

R&R! Arigauto! (I think I spelled that right..) ^-^
