Chapter 4
The closer we finished the demons,the closer we got to the gate. But there was a strange feeling inside me. Something was telling me to pull back. It was also telling me that I shouldn't be here. I should be with Kurama. This wasn't my place right now.
"Nicole,go back,"said Yusuke as we got to the gate.
"What?!"
"You heard what I said. Go back,"he put his hand on my shoulder. "I know you don't want to be here. Why did you come here anyways?"
"Because...because I thought I would be a fool if I didn't."
"No you wouldn't. You've helped us out enough now. You're hurt. You should go home and retain your strength. Ok?"
I didn't want to argue with him. I knew he was trying to save my life,and I didn't want Kurama to worry. I nodded. "Ok."
"Tell Hiei where we are if you find him."
I turned my back to him and started walking away,but stopped. "Hiei would probably already know Yusuke,"and I walked off into the woods.

I knew that Yusuke was right. I should have turned back while I had a chance. I never should have left Kurama in the first place(well,actually,I didn't decide to leave Kurama. He left me.).
As I walked through the woods I got this strange feeling that someone was watching me. I didn't look up into the trees but I knew it had to be someone.
"Come down here Hiei. I know you're watching me!"I shouted. Within thirty seconds I turned around and there was Hiei
"You're sharp,"he said in a sincere matter.
"What's going on with Kurama,Hiei?"
"I have no idea. You shouldn't ask me. I'm going to rescue Yukina,"he jumped up swiftly and left me.
I turned around and found that I was lost again. I noticed that it was starting to get dark,but I didn't want to make camp just yet. I wanted to see if Kurama was going to come for me or not. Surely you'll come for me,I thought. Please come. You know how much I hate this.
"You look lonely,"said a voice behind me. "What are you doing here all by yourself?"
I suddenly recognized the voice. I knew all along that it had been Kurama. "I thought you weren't going to come."
"Don't you remember? I told you that I'd be watching you."
"I guess I don't take you all that seriously."
"No. I guess you don't. C'mon. I know these woods better than anybody else. I can get you home."
"Why did you leave me?"
"I told you that you didn't have to do this. You brought this upon yourself you know."
I ran over and hugged him. I started shaking. "I was so afraid that something might have happened to you Kurama. I haven't heard from you in two days. And then Hiei didn't tell me anything. I thought you had left me."
He kissed my forehead. "You're tired. Let me take you home. Come with me and we'll talk later ok?"
I nodded. The only thing I wanted to do was to be by his side now. I didn't want me to leave me again,even though I knew he was going to. I hated this from the beginning. But I had no way of stopping it now.
