Chapter 5
The next morning I woke up with Kurama by my side. I had been guessing he had been there since dawn. But I was wrong. He told me he had been there since 3:00 in the morning. I knew this wasn't strange. He had done this before.
"Kurama..."I asked.
"You know why."
"Kurama I'm fine. Now go away while I get dressed. I'll be down in a minute all right?"
"All right." He kissed me and left the room.
I hated it when he did this. I didn't want him to. I loved him too much to see him doing this to himself. What is going on,I thought. He wouldn't be doing this if he didn't have a reason. I know that. I know Kurama.
When I got downstairs I found him still waiting for me. I smiled and didn't say anything. I was just happy to see him.
"All right Kurama,"I said as I approached him. "I want a good explanation. Why were you at my house at 3:00 in the morning?"
He kissed me. "Because I missed you. I couldn't stop thinking about you."
"You know you don't have to do that."
"Yes I do."
I knew something was wrong again. I could just tell by the sound in his voice. "Kurama...what's wrong?"
He looked me straight in the eye and we locked lips. I wanted to shake him off of me. But something had overcome me. "Nicole...I'm leaving me."
"What?"
"I don't know how long I'm going to be gone,and I don't know if I'm even going to return."
"Then let me come with you."
"No. It's far too dangerous. I can't let you get hurt."
"I don't care about that. I want to be with you Kurama."
"I'm not worth dying for."
"You are to me. I love you Kurama. Don't you understand that?"
"And I love you too. And I don't want you getting hurt. What if I never see you again?"
"Kurama...please..."
"No! Please Nicole...I can't have you risking your life."
"You left me once Kurama,and I don't want you leaving me again. Please,let me come with you."
"Then will you promise me something?"
"What?"
"Promise me that you'll be careful...at least for the time being."
I hugged him. I didn't know what to say. I wanted to cry to tell you the truth. "Kurama,the only thing I wanted to do is be with you. I worry about you. Don't you care about that?"
"Yes. And I care about you too. Will you please keep your promise and not break it?"
"Only if you don't leave me again."
"You know I can't promise that."
"I didn't ask you to promise me Kurama."
"Then I will,"he kissed my forehead and smiled. "You had better get ready. We're leaving in the morning."
