Chapter 14

I found myself by Kurama's side later that night in my room. I had no memory of what I had happened because I completely blacked out. I was just glad to see that Kurama was still with me.

"You're finally awake,"he said as I started to wake up.

"Kurama? What happened?"

"You fainted."

"I can't remember anything..."

"Shhh...It's all right. Go back to sleep. You need to rest."

"Kind of hard now don't you think?"

"Please Nicole..."

"Kurama?"

"Yes?"

"Thank you. For not leaving me."

"I love you. I can't leave you."

I thought for a moment. "I love you too."

"What did you see?"

"I thought that something was going to happen...but I blacked out before I could see anything."

"At least you're all right now."

"Yes. Did you see him?"

He knew who I was talking about. "Yes...I did."

"I'm sorry. I shouldn't have brought it up."

"It's ok."

"No it's not. If I hadn't seen him in the first place this wouldn't have happen. I shouldn't have gone into the woods."

"You didn't know he was out there Nicole. Now get some sleep ok?"

I sighed. "Ok."

He kissed my forehead. "I love you."

"Love you too,"and I went back to sleep.

I just wish I knew why I had fainted. Was this my power? Did I faint when something wrong happened? I just wish I knew. No one really told me about this 'power' that I had. Not even Kurama. Well,I guess it was because he didn't really know. Was I afraid now? What was I supposed to be afraid of? Kurama was here taking care of me and I was ok. I just wished that I would stop worrying about this.

But then again maybe it was Sakyou. Maybe it was because I was afraid of what he would do if he saw me again. And what he would do with Kurama. Would he hurt him? Or even worse. Would he kill him? I just wish I knew. I wanted to know the answers to my questions. I just wanted some answers. Was that hard enough? I was just glad to be with Kurama. That's all I wanted. That's all I needed now...right?

The next time I woke up,Kurama was asleep. It was still dark. I checked the clock. It was only 3:30 in the morning. I was glad that at least Kurama was getting some sleep. I'm sorry Kurama,I thought. But I'm going to leave you.

I got up and put my shoes on and walked quietly out the room,trying not to get caught. But I didn't succeed. Hiei and caught me before I even reach the doorknob.

"And where are you going?"he asked.

"Tell Kurama I'm going for a walk."

"You're leaving,aren't you?"

"You have to understand Hiei,this just isn't a place for me."

"You shouldn't run out on him. He cares for you deeply."

"And what about you and Yukina?"

"That is a different story. She is my sister. Kurama loves you. He took care of you. You should return the favor." He walked passed me and didn't say anything.

I smiled. Hiei's right,I thought. This wouldn't be the best time for me to run away. I ran away from Sakyou because he didn't love me. Kurama loves me and I'm running out on him,even after he took care of me. What the hell am I doing? I should go back in there.

So I did...
