Chapter 2

I was so glad that he was back. It had just seemed like forever. But I knew that this wasn't going to be forever. I knew he was going to have to leave me again because he was a Spirit Detective. I just wanted to be with him this time.

The next morning I snuck out of the house and went to Genkai's. I hoped that Kurama was going to be there like he said he was. And to my surprise,he was. I was so glad to see him that I literally ran to his open arms.

"Good. You're here,"he said as he kissed me.

"I'm sorry I took so long."

"It's ok. Let's go."

I was so happy to see everyone. Yusuke,Yukina,Botan,Kuwabara,Hiei,and Kayko were there. But for some reason something didn't feel right. I felt like someone was following me. So during lunch I snuck into the woods. I was just surprised that Kurama has followed me.

"Nicole!"Kurama yelled after he stopped by me.

"Kurama? Have you been following me?"

"I had to. I knew something wasn't right by the look on your face at breakfast."

"I feel like someone is following me..."

He hugged me and kissed me on the forehead. "It's ok..."

"No it's not. Kurama. I think something is about to happen."

"Like what?"

"I don't know Kurama. Just something..."

"It's going to be ok."

"You should go back."

He shook his head. "No. I'm not leaving you."

"I'm fine Kurama...really."

"I love you too much. I'm not going to leave you."

"Thank you,but I'll be fine. Really..."

"All right. Come back if something happens all right?"

I nodded and he left me.

::FLASHBACK::

I went to Sakyou's gravesite today,only to find out that he wasn't dead. He looked horrible though. I had to find some way to save him.

"Nicole..."he said in a silent whisper.

"Hold on Sakyou! I'm going to save you."

"Nicole...stop."

I shook my head in a sadden rage. "No Sakyou. You saved my life! I want to pay you back!"

As I pushed the rocks off of him,he put his hand off my face. "Nicole...stop...please..."

But I wouldn't stop. I couldn't. I had to save him,even if I didn't love him.

His hand then slipped from my face and he stopped breathing. "Sakyou..."I said as I started shaking,doing CPR so he could come back to life again. But nothing worked. I had to realize that he was going to come back.

"SAKYOU NOO!" I buried my face in his shirt and I started crying really hard. "You told me not to cry for you Sakyou! Well god dammit I'm crying for you now!! Why did you have you leave me?! You could have made something great out of yourself Sakyou... Please don't leave me! Not now Sakyou!"

Kurama walked over to my silently so I couldn't hear him. He put his hand on my shoulder. "Nicole..."

"I tried Kurama...I tried to save him..."

"You did want you could."

"It just wasn't good enough..." I hugged him and started crying. "What happened?"

"He wanted it to end this way Nicole. It wasn't his fault."

"He saved my life Kurama.... How could I have been so stupid?"
