When I opened my eyes I was lying on Kuronue's bed. The curtains where
drawn on the windows; where a small streak of light crossed my body. I
tried to sit up but a severe pain shot through my body. I let out a scream
of pain as pictures flashed through my mind.
'Give me my staff Kurama....'
The sword. They pain. The wind..
The door opened abruptly and Kuronue dashed in.
"Are you okay?" he asked, he sounded like he did when I fell out of the
tree when I was 8 and he 9..That was funny. I fell then he jumped down and
landed on a stick.
I tried to speak but my mouth couldn't form the words I wanted to say. 'Why
can't I heal myself fully?' I wanted to say but I just laid limp on the bed
looking up at him.
A short boy with spiky hair that made him at least 6" taller stood next to
Kuronue.
"You're to far away from Abnoba; and after some demons and fire spirits
came along, half the forest was wiped out. That's why you can't completely
heal your self. You're weak when you're to far away from the magical
abilities of the forest."
This guy creped me out. Just by the way he spoke, they way he looked as if
he where talking about the weather. It ALL creped me out.
I tried to sit up again; but the pain was direct, straight to my chest. It
felt like some one was sitting on me, the only real difference was if
someone was sitting on me, they're ass was full on nails.
"ARG!" I yelled I managed to sit up my stomach felt wet, and when I looked
down my chest and stomach where soaked in blood, along with Kuronue's
sheet.
Kurama was there looking rather worried. A tall boy with black hair that
was gelled back stood to my side with a girl a little shorter than I with
light shoulder length brown hair. A tall boy with bright orange red hair
stood at the door looking beyond confused.
I started to get out of the bed, with the 6 sets of eyes watching me
closely.
"Don't move, Idiot!" Kuronue said holding his arm out in front of me.
"I have to get back to Abnoba." I said quietly
I felt a hand on my shoulder.
"You have to rest; you won't be able to get back there with such little
amounts of energy." Kurama said his voice was calm and friendly.
I looked at him.
"If I stay, it's a certain death." I said coolly
"If you travel back to the spirit world, you won't be able to defend
yourself. How do you expect to have a chance against that bastard they call
a king?" Kuronue asked his voice seemed angry; the anger was just there to
hide the fear making his eyes avoid my glance.
"I'll have someone come with me." I said looking at him as his eyes looked
past me.
"Fine, I'll go Anima." Kuronue said
"I don't want them to capture you again." I said his eyes finally meting my
glance
"I don't care what you say! I'm going, that's the end of the discussion!"
He yelled his eyes narrowing
I clutched my stomach, the pain was unbearable. I didn't want to cry in
front to Kuronue. I didn't want to cry. This pain. This never ending Pain.
Leave me. Let me return to the spirit world. Even if it means my death.
That death would be less painful.
"Please leave all of you." I said leaning over myself
They all slowly filed out. Kurama was the last at the door.
"Kurama, could I talk to you?" I asked my voice trembling
I listened as the door closed and footsteps walked closer to me. The bed
moved as Kurama sat down.
"You really need a doctor to look at that." He said trying to look me in
the face. I didn't let him; I didn't want him to see the tears rolling down
my cheeks.
"Yeah, Hi Mr. Doctor. What? How did I get this? Oh, I was just speared by a
demon, nothing big; you must get a lot of these cases.." I said I squeezed
my stomach some more. I couldn't stand this pain much longer.
"Yoko, I want you to help me. I need to you take me back to the spirit
world, and get me to Abnoba. I don't want Kuronue hurt or at the point of
death again. Please Kurama." I said tears streaming down my face.
His hand touched my chin and lifted it up so he could see my face.
"How will you be able to leave without Kuronue noticing?" He asked me
wiping my face clean of the fresh tears with his hand.
"I don't know," I said choking the pain was so extreme I felt sick to my
stomach.
"I'll take you, but you have to find out how to get out of this house so
Kuronue doesn't notice."
I leaned over the over side of the bed and watched as my breakfast took the
wrong way out.
I felt his arm pull in my shoulder. I sat back up; but barely. I swayed
feeling the worst I have ever felt. My mouth full of barf and stomach acid,
and blood all over myself, and to make it all the better, my bitter tears
drying on my face.
Kurama pulled me close to him. He hugged me and reassured me but talking
into my ear.
"It's alright. I'll come back later and we'll go to the spirit world, don't
worry. Just be ready. Bandage your wounds until we get the spirit world;
until then sleep; you'll need it." Kurama let go of me and stood up.
"I'll be back at midnight. Be ready, and outside." He turned and walked out
side of the room. I stood up and swayed over to the small bathroom. I took
my shirt off and washed my wound. The blood had stopped coming out so fast.
I took some gauze and long rolls of medical tape. I put some ointment in
the cut. It eased the pain for a bit. I rapped myself up and put on one of
Kuronue's shirts. After all this was his room. My shirts where in a
different room. The one I had been wearing was bloody and ripped.
I went back into the other room. Feeling a little better. I had rinsed out
my mouth and cleaned my face. I got back into the blood stained bed and
fell asleep.

--Later--
I awoke to my stomach hurting again. Not as bad as before. I rolled over
and bumped into something. I focused my eyes to see what I had bumped.
Kuronue lay next to me, sleeping quietly.
I felt rather uncomfortable sleeping with him. Not that anything happened.
I was just sleeping. Dunno why he didn't go into my room and sleep. Maybe
he's uncomfortable in a girl's room. I ignored the fact that I couldn't see
the time and I got out of the bed. Walking over to the door, I opened it
and slid it open. I looked over my shoulder. Kuronue was sound asleep. I
walked out and closed the door I felt the wall for the light switch. After
my hand had found the small switch I bumped in and the lights clicked on in
the hall. I walked down the hall into the kitchen. To rent this place it
costs 10,000 yen a month (about 80 dollars) which isn't much, but the place
was far from most things and the electricity went out often. I looked at
the clock on the wall. 12:00 exactly. 'Well' I thought, 'I might never see
Kuronue again.' I walked back into Kuronue's bed room. I leaned over him a
kissed him on the cheek. I'd miss him if I died, or never came back. 'Good
bye' I said to him through my mind.
I started to walk back out of the room and Kuronue's hand grabbed my wrist.
"I'm not letting you go." He said
"I have to."
"Then I'm coming with."
"No."
"I'm coming; I can't leave you alone to die!!"
I smiled at him, fighting the tears. 'Don't let him see how sad and weak I
am. Please don't let him.'
"Kuramas coming with me; I'll be back when I can. Don't come after me."
"I don't want to leave you." He said, and tightened his grip on my hand
"I don't want to almost lose you again." I said, his hand let go
"Promise you'll be back soon."
"I will."
I walked out of the room. I knew Kuronue was crying, not physically, but
his other side. The side that was so caring, that, if he stole he would
never forgive himself. Kind of like me. But he doesn't have an 'Alter
personality' were I'd just change completely, and kill people without even
thinking. Yes. Alter personality.
I walked outside and saw Kurama. I closed my eyes 'Goodbye, Kuronue.' I
walked over to Kuronue, ready to go back to Abnoba, my home.
~*~*~ End of chapter~*~*~
A/n: Okay, yeah, I didn't feel like explaining Kuronue and Kurama's
relationship, and I didn't want o explain Anima again. So..I'm making this
