The Demon Enchantresses
Chapter Ten
He was in the garden. He was enjoying the flowers. Roses, tulips, poppies, all different kinds everywhere. It was beautiful. And there was the most beautiful girl he'd ever seen, laying on the sidewalk, but she wasn't moving. Then he heard a roar. A deep, powerful, dark roar. He looked up and to the right of the girl, and he saw a demon. He attacked it, and it fell. He picked up the beauty and carried her home...
Kurama slowly woke up. He didn't know what happened. Did he dream or not during the night? He wasn't sure, so he just got up and got dressed. He slept in late, and a good thing. That meant he wouldn't have to put up with the three couples that had found their way into his home.
He made himself breakfast, then went around doing some errands. When he got back, it was obvious that the couples had returned from wherever it was they were.
"Come on, Kurama," Hannah said. "Join us today. We're going to see a movie!"
"No, that's quite all right. I have things I need to do," was his reply.
"Kurama, you're going to be an old stick in the mud if you don't get out more often," Yusuke said.
"I get out enough, thank you."
"Kurama," Yoshiko said, getting up and walking towards him. "We mean to have you with us. You've been ignoring us for weeks. We just want our old friend back." She had a look in her eyes that told him she meant it.
"I am still the same, perhaps just a little more depressed than before. But I have other things I must do today, rather than go to a movie."
Yoshiko sighed. Kusha said, "You know, for a nice person, you seem to not be very nice right now."
"Kusha!" Yoshiko said. "Kurama is just upset because he hasn't found a love like we have. He's the only one that hasn't found a girl to fit his standards! Or one that he fits," she added thoughtfully. "But that's beside the point. We have to help Kurama."
"Yoshiko, I think you're getting in over your head now," Hannah said.
"I will be all right," Kurama said, "But I thank you for your offer." And with that, he went to his room. He heard them discuss some things, and he heard Yoshiko yelling for his defense, if not her own. He sighed, and went to the window. Tonight is the night of the full moon, he thought.
After a while of just gazing out the window and hearing the chattering from the living room, he left his room and quietly escaped the house. Apparently, the others hadn't noticed him.
He walked down the street, and saw a small building that had just opened as "Theodore's Gardening and Outdoors". There was a giant field of plants behind the building, and Kurama thought he'd just take a walk through there. Gardens always gave him comfort.
