When he first laid her on the bed, he watched as she curled up fox-like, and her face nestly in her bushy tail. The way foxes and fox demons sleep were mostly the same. Kurama smiled at her, before moving out the door to gather herbs.
As he walked outside, he looked around, and started down the path. He walked searched for the herbs he needed, such as Russian Comfrey (AKA: Knitbone) and yarrow herbs for healing.
Kurama walked back to the cabin to find Selenay gone. He put the herbs down, and went back outside. Her spirit energy was low but he can sense it faintly, and looked up at her as she peered down at him from the tree branch.
She closed her eyes and tilted her head sniffing the air. "Your scent is of Yoko, but...your body must have under gone a startling transformation...you look human!" she said weakly, her hands were covered with blood. Kurama noticed her crimson stained hands, and knew she must of reopened her wounds.
"Yes I'll explain it all to you after your wounds have been attended to." Kurama said politly.
Selenay lept from the tree, and landed on one foot and one knee. As she rose to her feet. She wobbled slightly, showing that she had lost a lot of blood. She walked up to Kurama, "Your personality changed too...What has happened to you-" she fainted, falling forwards. Kurama caught her as she fell against his chest. He looked down at her warmly. He had indeed changed.
Carrying her back in the tiny cabin, he laid her back on the bed. He went to the well outside, and pulled water out of the well, and set it over the fire above the hearth. Taking a bowl, he took some water out of the bucket and put soaked the yarrow herbs and lemon balm herb in it. The remaining water in the bucket above the fire, he put the Russian Comfrey herbs into the water, then took the bucket out of the fire and set it on the table.
He soaked a clean cloth in the small bucket and started to clean her wounds on her arms first. He then slid her dress off (and luckily she was wearing bra and underwear) and started to clean the more serious wounds, on her side, stomach and legs.
She cringed as the stinging of the wounds took affect, telling her the herbs were working and cleaning her deep cuts. She sat up, now fully awake. She could feel Kurama gentlry wrapping her wounds. His hands were warm, and his body was so close to her. She quickly shook a terrible thought out of her head. When he finished, she wrapped the bed sheets around her body.
Kurama gazed at her for a minute and took care not to stare at her. He stood up and went over to the bowl, where he had soaked the yarrow and lemon balm, "Would you like some tea?" He asked her, carefully pouring the liquid from the bowl into two cups.
"Yes, please. Thank you." she took the tea from Kurama and drank it, the aroma drifted to her, "What did you put in it? I taste yarrow, and...catnip...or is it lemon 'sweet duni'..." she queried starting a conversation.
"Its lemon balm. Maybe next time I'll use hyssop." He replied, taking a sip.
She stared at him for a moment, as he looked down at his tea cup. It was hard for her to believe that this once was Yoko. What happened to his silver hair, his tail, his eyes, his ears, and even his attitude. Kurama looked up at her, and she blushed and turned away, "I'm sorry. I didn't mean to stare." Her tail flicked nervously, and her ears drooped.
Kurama smiled, "Its quite alright. I must look strange to you after the few years of my disappearance."
She roughly set her cup down and looked up at him, her golden eyes full of hurt, "What happened to you Yoko? You disappeared and a year later the guild changed dramatically! No one knew where you went, and later rumors had it you lived 'happily' amongst the humans. Yoko thats not you! You're a human! A red-hair, green eyed human. You're not Yoko at all and only said you were." She stood up and pain shot threw her body.
Kurama quickly got up and helped her to sit back down. He understood her outburst. He always left hints that he was going to be her mate, and he disappeared on her, along with a dramatic change. It probably would of been easier for her if she found his body dead, than seeing him as a human. "Selenay, I'm sorry. But I am truly Yoko. I had to resume a human host before it was born to stay alive. I had planned on leaving the human world when I was stronger, but I had some changes..."
She hugged him, and shivered, "I know its truly you. Its just, you changed. But I promise I won't go into your territory anymore. Don't leave me again. I'll just have to get use to the human you now, won't I?" Kurama seemed a bit stunned by this reaction. Had she missed him truly this much? Her hair brushed against his cheek, and he breathed her scent in. She smelt like fresh roses to him, she always had. A warm feeling stirred inside of him. He hadn't felt this feeling for a little more over a decade. He hugged her close to him, "I won't leave you ever again."
