Chapter 3
Kurama was on the ground, and tried to stand but almost couldn't. He had tears in his eyes as he woke up, and wiped them away. He had a headache that every time he moved, pain ran through his body. He looked around, realizing what had happened. He saw the branch that he was watching Keiko and Yusuke in had been struck by lightning. He was sleeping when they were sleeping, knew something must have happened. Although, he had a different sort of dream than Keiko did during that time.
"Shuuichi." Said a voice, very feminine and very comforting to him. "Minamino Shuuichi." It stated. "Help me, my love. Help me, Shuuichi." Kurama looked around, not sure of where he was. It was dark, and filled with trees. A place that looked familiar to him with a voice that did as well. Suddenly, it struck him.
"Hoshi..." He said, almost saddened. "Hoshi... where are you? Tell me so I can help you!" He said, grabbing his rose out, about to attack. He started running towards the voice. It kept yelling his name, and then he heard a scream. "No... Hoshi..." He ran as fast as he could towards the voice, hoping that he wasn't too late. The scream sent a shiver down his spine, making him tremble. He saw her, lying on the ground, as he saw a demon jump away with a trail of blood left. "HOSHI!" He screamed, running to her side, checking for a pulse. "HOSHI... I'M SO SORRY I LEFT YOU." He said, tears running down his cheek. 'No... she died a long time ago from my stupid mistake... how is this happening?' He touched her face, wiping blood off of her. She was beautiful. She had light purple hair, beautiful blue eyes. She was wearing a gown that was purple, and looked exactly she did the night they met. He remembered that night so vividly that it felt like it had just happened.
He was on his way to a close family's wedding, as he sat down. Kurama took his seat, as a beautiful woman had walked past him. She was very slim, had very sleek thighs which wer ecovered by the bottom of her long purple dress, which showed parts of her legs which weaved through the fabric of the bottom, which looked like an endless line of V's going across the fabric. Her waist led upward to the curve of her body which led to her breasts, hiding behind the V-neck of the purple dress. Her neck had a beatiful rose chocker on, which had a material, shiny silky fabric going around her neck, as on the side of her neck was a lavander rose hanging on it. He stood, staring at her with awe, as she turned around and saw him. He smiled awkwardly, as she turned around and walked over to him. She sat down next to him, crossing her legs. He blushed a little bit, as he turned to the front of the church.
"Hello." She said to him. "What's your name?"
"My name is Minamino Shuuichi." He said, nervously, turning back around to her. "What's your name?" He looked at her, and she blushed a little bit, smiling.
"Amaya Hoshi."
"What a beautiful name, which is quite the understatement for such a beautiful woman like you are. A beautiful star, only describes the look in your eye. Your whole self, would be the entire night sky." She blushed, as they looked forward as the wedding began.
Finally, it ended, as they walked into a room which led to the gardens outside. It was dark, the stars were shinging brightly, as music was playing. They sat down together for a little while, eating, and sharing information about themselves, looking at people around them dancing. Finally, Kurama nervously asked, "Would you care to dance?"
"Well, I'd be honored." She said, as he took her hand and they walked closer to all the people dancing. He put his hands on her waist as she wrapped her arms around his neck. She looked at him straight in the eyes, searching for meaning in his soul as he thought of it. "You have very beautiful eyes." She said. "Do you mind if I call you by your first name?"
"Not at all, as long as I can with you." She smiled, and nodded her head. "So what brings you to this wedding Hoshi?" She smiled, as if she liked the way he was saying her name.
"I'm the groom's niece." She said. "How about you, Shuuichi?"
"Oh, my mother, Shiori, has been friends with the bride for numerous years." He said, getting quieter. She looked at him, as they started coming together, and instead of a more dancing pose, they were in more of an embrace pose. He took his hand, placing it on her cheek. Seeing an eyelash, he wiped it on so it was still on his finger, and put it towards her lips. "Make a wish." He said softly. She blew the eyelash away, and he put his hand back on her waist. The song finally finished, and he took her hand, and they walked out of the room, over towards the garden.
The garden was filled with grass, had a pond with a bridge running across it. A path with beautiful flowers outlining it. The moon was full, perfectly alining with the bridge. There were fountains on parts of the garden, and it was a beautiful place. They stepped onto the bridge, and the first thing she noticed was the moon. "I've never seen anything more beautiful in my life." She said, as Kurama was looking straight at her.
"I concur." He said. She looked at him, noticing that he had been looking at her the whole time, barely noticing the moon. "Listen Hoshi. I barely know you, practically have nothing except a name, an image, and a voice. But I am sure I'll hear that name, the image will appear, and I know that I'm going to miss your voice. I'll see stars in the sky, and look at them dully, missing that twinkle in your eye." He said, putting his finger by her cheek. "Hoshi..."
"Hoshi..." Kurama stated, wiping some blood off her face. "Hoshi... please forgive me... I was foolish." He grabbed her hand, feeling a bit of warmth. She shivered, and he was happy that she lived. He took his shirt off, wrapping it around her wounds.
"Shuuichi... You... came... for me..." She said, whispering, then coughed out some blood. It was all over his hands.
"I'll always come, and I'll never leave you ever again. You'll be safe, I promise you. We'll get you to the nearest hospital."
"Shuuichi..." She said, the moonlight twinkling in his eyes, the green sparkling as she moved closer to him. He wrapped his arms around her, and she put her hand on his cheek, and she kissed him. The moon behind them, with the water all around. They released after a few seconds, and he told her to wait there. He ran off the bridge, grabbing a flower from the garden. It was blue, the color blue that her eyes were. He took it, ran back over to her, and placed it in her hair.
"It brings out the blue in your eyes." He said, holding her tight again. "I don't ever want to let you go. You'll be safe, I promise you."
After Hoshi heard those words, she felt warmth and knew that he wasn't lying to her. He knew that he would do everything in his power to keep her alive during this torture. He opened the cloth to inspect what was wrong with her. He touched the wound as she screamed in utter agony. "I love... you... Shuiichi..." She said, trying as hard as she could to take as little breaths as she could.
"I love you too Hoshi..." She smiled, and tried to say something, but he pressed his finger against her lips. "Don't say a word... I need you to save your strength." He saw the main cut, and saw where it was. It was in her chest cavity, as it bled right through her shirt. He apologized to her and told her that he had to open her shirt up, but he had to see what he could do. She smiled and nodded her head. First she lifted her hand towards her pocket. He put her hand down, telling her not to waste her strength, but went into the pocket for her. He pulled out a dry thing, it had blue on it and yellow. He was stunned to believe it.
It was the flower that he had given her the first time they met.
She looked at him, and he smiled, kissing her gently on the forehead, reaching for her hand as he remembered what came next.
The next few days after the party were fun. Kurama and Hoshi saw each other a lot, and introduced each other to each of the families. All was going well, and everyone was happy with their relationship. One day, he decided to make a decision. He pulled Hoshi to the side, and looked her in the eyes. He got down on one knee, took her hand in his, and smiled. "Amaya Hoshi. I've known you for a short time, and in that short time, I've learned more than I've learned the years of my life. I've learned how to laugh truly, I've learned how to smile truly, and I've learned how to love. To love so much that I can feel it deep inside myself. That's more than I'll ever learn in school, and considering that I'm a top student in my school, I felt quite stupid for a while." She giggled, never hearing him use the word stupid ever. "But I know we're young, and I know we're very risky doing this, but I know if I don't do this, I'll be too afraid to when we're older. Amaya Hoshi, will you share a long engagement, will you marry me, treasure me, and love me as much as I do you, for eternity? Will you make me the smartest man in the world, as well as the happiest?" She smiled, saying yes, and he got up and she jumped into his arms. His face by her neck, hair in his face, smelling the aroma from her shampoo.
He grabbed her hand, playing with the ring on her left hand, stroking her hand gently. He took a deep breath, and finally felt like all the honor he had in his life had vanish as he opened up her shirt, looking at the wound. It was very deep. There was blood that kept draining out. The wound was so deep that he could almost see her heart. He looked deeper into it, and saw that part of her heart was pierced. Unless he could find a surgeon soon or find some way to cover that hole, the one that he was supposed to marry, the one that he would spend the rest of his life with, she would die. He started crying, not able to move. For the first time in his life, through all the battles he had been through, through all the pain and suffering, everything, at age 13, he was truly afraid. He was afraid of losing the girl he loved, cherished. He wasn't just losing his girlfriend/fiancee, but his best friend as well. 'Think... think Kurama. There must be something you could do, something that could save her, save her and myself.' It was useless... he couldn't leave her here alone, incase whoever it was would come back. He cried, falling to the ground, weak, not knowing what else to do. There was a laughter. "What a gift it is to see the great Kurama fall."
Kurama was pissed, and you could tell. "WHO DID THIS? SHOW YOURSELF AT ONCE!" A dark, shadowy figure started stepping out. First, out of the shadows a black shoe came out, then after that, the figure started showing. Inch by inch he was revealing himself to Kurama. The face finally appeared. He seemed very scrawny, lacking a more muscular body, but seemed shorter too, which clearly hid his strength. Kurama knows not to underestimate people, especially at the extent of his good friend, Hiei, who is in fact very small himself. The man had black hair, and a very pale colored skin. He laughed again when he came out.
"What's the matter Kurama, don't you remember me?" Suddenly, it hit him. "You and your partner, Kuronue, you attacked my industry and killed many people in my factory! OUR FACTORY WENT OUT OF BUSINESS BECAUSE OF YOU!" He stopped, then took a breath, and spoke more calm. "You're a thief. As the saying goes, once a thief, always a thief." You could see Kurama's teeth clench, as he reached inside his pocket. "I wouldn't go for the rose. It's nothing compared to my amazing spirit energy." He took a deep breath in, and exhaled it out, as you saw red streams of spirit energy shoot out from his mouth. "I can't control it often." Then, his whole body lit up with red spirit energy. Kurama looked at him, unsure what to do now. 'Think Kurama... there must be something.' The man laughed. "Poor fool, don't think you can beat me. There's no way. I'm the great Nibori, and I will get my revenge!" Kurama looked over by Hoshi, she was breathing very lightly, not knowing what to do. Then, a purple glow came out of her body, and shot right for Nibori, and hit him in the leg as he fell to the floor, cursing out Hoshi.
"Do... not... hurt... Kurama..." Kurama stood there in shock, not knowing how it's possible that she knew his name was Kurama. "Don't look... so surprised. I knew... since you told me... your name." She had a tear running down her cheek. He ran to her side, making sure she was alright. "I worked for a man... who planned to kill you. I didn't know why... but I couldn't let... that happen. I had... to save... you. I ran... away from the factory... after seeing you... I recognized you from somewhere... but didn't know... how. Then I met you... and I fell for you... Shuuichi. I didn't realize... at first... but I discovered... you were... Kurama." Kurama stood there, tears still in his eyes, as he held her hand tight.
Nibori stood up, as Hoshi looked at him. "Yes, but tell him who you worked for." She stood there in silence, turning away from Nibori and looked at Kurama.
"I'm... so sorry." Kurama picked her up, embracing her dearly. "I'm... sorry... I'm here... to protect... as... spirit... detective... He was... a mission I had... and so were you... Worked undercover... didn't recognize you... saved you..."
Nibori seemed as surprised as Kurama did with the spirit detective secret. "AHH! YOU BRAT! YOU WILL PAY FOR THIS!" He shot a red shot right for her open wound, hitting her directly as she tumbled back from the hit. You heard a scream of pain come out of her mouth, something so fiercely ear wrecking that it sent shivers down Kurama's spine.
"NOOOO!" Kurama said, rushing back to her side, holding her left hand with the ring on it.
"Pathetic fools... now it makes my trip all the easier. Getting to kill the spirit detective I've been after for so long, and getting my revenge on the man who destroyed my spirit factory!"
"Kurama... I... love... yo-" a weak sound came from Hoshi's mouth, as she lost touch with herself. Kurama bowed his head, and tears flowed out of his eyes uncontrollably. He couldn't see much, but he looked over at Nibori, knowing he must revenge he's love's death. Nibori looked at him, laughing.
"I'LL GET MY REVENGE ON YOU, IF IT'S THE LAST THING I DO!" Suddenly, Nibori saw how much anger was inside of Kurama now, as he stepped backwards.
"We will finish this another time, I will be waiting for you. A dear friend of yours will get a mission, and he'll run to you about it after someone important gets taken. If I were you, I'd listen closely. You'll find me, the same place your friend battles... battled before, won, but lost at the same time. You will come back to me, and we will finish this." Kurama looked at him, taking out his rose, about to attack him, as the figure was gone.
Kurama was still on the ground from shock from the lightning strike. Tears were starting to dry, as it was still hard for him to get up. Those last few words rung in his ears that Nibori said. "You will come back to me, and we will finish this."
'I'll be ready this time. I'm sorry, Hoshi... I lied to you, and I can't live with that anymore. I'll either kill him, or be coming to see you soon.'
Kurama was on the ground, and tried to stand but almost couldn't. He had tears in his eyes as he woke up, and wiped them away. He had a headache that every time he moved, pain ran through his body. He looked around, realizing what had happened. He saw the branch that he was watching Keiko and Yusuke in had been struck by lightning.
