Kurama woke up in the morning, but Jade was gone. He looked around the room, but she and her stuff was no where to be seen, only a note where her head had been resting last night. He picked it up and read aloud what it said....

"Sorry I didn't wake you, but you were so sweet laying there asleep I just couldn't. I should have told you last night, but we have another stop on our list then the bands taking a break. I'll be back as soon as I can I promise. I love you a lot. I miss you. I have to leave now, hope you slept well. -Jade. Ps. oh ya at about 4pm turn on your TV to channel 58! BYE!! LOVE YA!!"

Kurama rolled over on his side, it was nearly twelve noon. After a few minutes he stood up and got ready for what was left of the day. He figured it was her performance that was on later, not wanting to miss it he took a shower, dressed and went to the market. His mother wanted something's, and he needed some more food.

It was about three by the time his mom let him leave. With an hour to kill he took the long way home, through the park. That was his favorite place. He could go through the woods, and still make it home. That's when the trouble started.

"Let me go!" A girl shrieked as a man pushed her into a tree shoving his lips to hers. Shushing her screams some. Kurama pulled out his whip.

"Let her go..." Kurama said as calm as ever. The man didn't move. Kurama stepped closer as a warning, he could now see the girls eyes pleading with him to help her. He could also see the man wasn't a man, but a demon.

"I said...." Kurama started but was cut off.

"Get lost boy, you have no power here." He said, his voice cold and uncaring. Kurama laughed lightly and willed the tree the girl was pushed against to pull him off. The demon lashed out breaking the branches and stood to face him.

"Run!" Kurama ordered the girl. She hesitated slightly, then realized suddenly what was going on and ran away.

"You just ruined my fun, now you must die!" The weak demon yelled. Kurama bored looked at his watch. 'damn!' he thought 'the concerts already started!' The demon yelled his little battle cry and lashed out at Kurama with his small blade. Kurama easily dodged and knocked the pathetic thing unconscious with his rose whip.

"Botan can take care of this" he whispered silently, and calling her to do so. Then he jogged home.

The concert had started by the time he turned the TV on in his small apartment. Kurama watched her, as she moved and sang, her voice just as captivating on the TV as it was live. But something was off, he could tell. In her eyes he saw a hint off fear, something that was NEVER there, she didn't fear anything. Something was wrong, she looked pale. Kurama decided that she must be feeling something, it wasn't the huge crowd that was frightening her. She started another song....

*******************************Jades POV************************************************ I can't shake off the feeling something bads' going to happen. It's just this nagging feeling and I can't shake it off. The band had just laughed at her. With nothing left to do I sang.

"hold on to me love

you know I can't stay long

all I wanted to say was I love you and I'm not afraid

can you hear me?

can you feel me in your arms?

holding my last breath

safe inside myself

are all my thoughts of you

sweet raptured light it ends here tonight

I'll miss the winter

a world of fragile things

look for me in the white forest

hiding in a hollow tree (come find me)

I know you hear me

I can taste it in your tears

holding my last breath

safe inside myself

are all my thoughts of you

sweet raptured light it ends here tonight

closing your eyes to disappear

you pray your dreams will leave you here

but still you wake and know the truth

no one's there

say goodnight

don't be afraid

calling me calling me as you fade to black"

Blackness, that's all I saw, fucking blackness swirling in my head and taking over my body..... fading to black.

Kurama stood at the TV watching the stage explode and the screen go black, screaming bloody fucking murder at it, with nothing left to do he fell to the floor in a mess of anger, sadness and tears.
