Chapter 17
Was I supposed to believe what he said? Was he really going to turn into a demon? What the heck was I supposed to do now? Was I supposed to run away from him now? No,I thought. I have to stay. Hiei was right. I need to stay with him. He loves me enough to take care of me.
I couldn't sleep. The only thing I could think about was what Kurama had said. But then my thoughts were interrupted. It was Kurama.
"You still aren't asleep yet?"he asked as he sat down on the bed. "I thought so. I'm sorry."
"No. It's ok. I understand."
"I would never want to hurt you Nicole."
I sat up and put my head on his shoulder. "I don't want to leave you Kurama. I'm safe when I'm with you. Even if I do see Sakyou again I know I'll be safe."
"I can't always promise your safety Nicole."
"Yes. I know."
"But I do want you to stay with me because I love you."
"Then let me go with you."
He sighed. "You really want to?"
"Yes Kurama. I hate being alone. And when I am,I get the feeling that I'm never going to see you again."
He smiled and kissed me. "All right then. I won't stop you. But I had misinformed you on something."
"What?"
"We aren't going back tomorrow. Team Togoru will be fighting tomorrow. And I don't know if I'm up to going."
"I'll go with you then."
He shook his head. "No. I don't want you getting hurt."
"I'll be fine Kurama."
He sighed as shook his head. "I can never stop you."
"No one ever can. And no one ever will. But just promise me one thing."
"Yes?"
"Be careful ok?"
"I know Kurama. The place is full of demons."
"Right." He kissed me again. "Get some sleep."
"Ok."
"I love you,"and he walked out of the room and shut the door.

I didn't know what to expect now. Maybe it was because I was scared. But why did I need to be scared? Kurama had already told me that he might turn into a demon. So why should that bother me? Maybe it was because I still hated demons.
But then again,there was Sakyou. I had wondered if Sakyou had ever wanted to turn into a demon. He had never told me if he wanted to. But I ran off on him. I never wanted to see him again.
Sakyou favored demons though. But I never thought he would favor them this much. But he was rich. The only thing he ever wanted was money. He never really loved me. Or did he?
What really happened when we were in the woods? Did he hug me to tell me that he was sorry and that he actually loved me. Well,I never loved him. And I never will. He should know that by now. I will never love a person who is rich and who favors demons. I just can't.
