The next three days Nicole was in a constant coma. Kurama never left her side.

"Hey. You're finally awake,"said Kurama.

"Kurama?"she asked as she started to sit up.

"Hey now. You really should lie back down. You aren't fully healed yet."

"Don't worry. I feel much better."

"We did beat them."

"Yes I know. How long have you been here?"

"Three days."

"Kurama...you really didn't have to..."

"Yes I did. I care about you."

"I'm glad that you do."

"Are you ok?"

"I'm fine. Now that you're here with me and you're ok."

"Good." He lend over and kissed her forehead. "I almost thought you weren't going to make it."

"If Botan wasn't alive I wouldn't have. If Spirit World goes,then so does she. And me too."

"Because of your energy."

"That's right. You really did fight for something."

"No. I fought for someone. I fought for you. Because you're the person I really do love."

"Kurama...?"

He put is finger on her lips and they embraced. "You really did want to die didn't you?"

"Only if I had to."

"I don't want you to die for me Nicole. I'm not worth dying for."

"To me you are Kurama. Only because I love you."

"I love you too."

"Are you hurt?"

"No. Only because you saved my life."

"I had to Kurama..."

He sighed,smiled,and shook his head. "What am I going to do with you?"

"For starters,you can let me get out of here. I think Genkai's tired of seeing me all the time."

"You've barely been here for a week."

"That's what I mean!"

They laughed until they couldn't contain themselves any longer. "If Genkai had gotten tired of you she would've told me."

"Good."

"One more day ok? I'm not going to leave you."

"But you need to get sleep."

"That's why I'm going to stay with you. I can't leave you."

"Kurama..."

"No! I love you too much. You saved my life. I have to stay with you."

"Fine. But there is something I need to ask you?"

"What?"

"I remember what you said a long time ago that you might become a demon again. Is that really possible?"

He sighed and shrugged. "I really don't know. I don't want to become a demon now that I have you and my friends."

"You'll still be the same Kurama to me."

"You don't know what it was like being a demon. You don't want to know."

"Maybe I don't. But I'll still know you as Kurama."

He smiled and kissed her. "You should go back to sleep."

"How can I if I've been asleep for three days with you by my side?"

"You aren't fully healed."

"Why the hell are you so worried about me Kurama?"

"Because I love you."

"Thank you."

"You're welcome. At least you aren't going into a constant shiver anymore. God I was really worried about you."

"I thought you never worried about anyone."

"Until I met you."

She smiled.

"Go back to sleep. You really need it. We'll leave tomorrow if you get some more sleep alright?"

"Alright. You really should go. You should get some sleep too you know?"

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

"I thought you had a job to do...Spirit Detective."

"I will get back to that. But now is not the time. I need to take care of you know. They understand that. Now go to sleep ok?" He put his hand on her face and their lips met.

"Even if you do turn into a demon there is one thing I never want you to forget."

"What's that?"

"The way we kiss..."

"I never will. If you still love me."

"I always will Kurama. Even if you do turn into a demon."

"I just hope I don't. I care about you too much. I don't want to leave you."

"You won't Kurama... You won't."

"Alright. That's enough talk now. Go to sleep all right?"

"Ok."

"I love you."

"Love you too." She shut her eyes and went back to sleep.

Nicole didn't get up until later that night,with Kurama still at her side,and still awake.

"Hey,"she said as she started to wake up.

"You really should go back to sleep."

"Kurama,I've been here for three days."

He sighed and smiled. "Alright. Let's see if you can walk."

She got up and tired to walk. She was a little weak at first,but she seemed like she was getting better.

"Alright. I guess I can take you home."

"Thank you!"

He smiled and kissed her. "Let's go then."

Before they went on their way they thanked Genkia,then left. Kurama knew that he needed to stay with Nicole. He couldn't leave her. More precisely,he didn't want to leave her. He knew he couldn't because she was the only thing he loved(other than this mother.).

For the next few days Nicole stayed at home with Kurama by her side. Her legs still needed more time to heal,and he just didn't want to leave her for the sake that she might run after him again and get hurt. He didn't want to have to go through with that again. Especially since he loved her too much.
