Chapter 4: The Outside
Sanosuke ran under the stairs, into the room and searched for the switch. He found it and flipped it, then ran back into the living room. The windows allowed light into the house and the trapdoor was visible. Sanosuke lifted it, climbed through it, then opened the one outside. He walked through the front yard and knocked on the window. He opened the door and the others ran outside, into the daylight. Kurama walked by Marie. "Can you tell me what I have to do now?" he asked. Marie nodded. "Yes. You must agree to become a vampire, and you will be able to live in sunlight. You must also agree to allow your body to go under control of a magical spirit during the upcoming battle, so you will not be fighting, for it is too dangerous. I may not even be safe, even though I can only be killed by my own sword. And also, you must be in love with me." She said. At that she paused for a breath. "That is the only way for me to live." Marie said to Kurama. His eyes grew wide. The sunlight shone in Marie's eyes, as though they were gemstones. The wind blew her hair. She smiled. The sudden change was great to her, for she had not been outside in years. Magic changed her dress to jeans and a t- shirt. Her necklace disappeared and her shoes were tennis shoes. She spread her arms apart and let the wind blow past her. Kurama didn't know how long she had been stuck inside the house, but her figured it had been since she had left her father's. She looked at him and smiled. "Doesn't the wind feel great?" she asked. Kurama nodded.
