Selenay found a hotspring after wandering around the forest for a little while. She slunk into the hotspring, trying desperatly to get the scent of blood and wine off of her. Dunking her whole head under the water's surface, she felt a little bit at peace. Breaking the surface again she tried to shake some of the wetness from her hair. After a few minutes, she finally relaxed. An alleviate sigh formed on her lips as she could finally smell the surroundings around her.

'Yoko Kurama. I'm sorry for the trouble I caused.' She couldn't help but think.

Her fox ears twitched as she heard a strange rustle in the bushes. Then a small ghostly fox came out switching its tail.

"Ah. Yuma. Could you do me a favor?" She asked the ghostly fox. In return she got a sharp bark meaning yes. "Could you go to demon world really quick and get me a new dress from the markets?" She queried. Yuma gave another bark and disappeared in a fog of mist. After a minute or two the fox reappeared with a package in it's mouth.

"Thank you." Selenay said taking the package after getting out of the water. She put the dress on and scooped the fox into her arms.

Kurama sat outside looking up at the sky. The sky was a wonderful blue color with white fluff gliding across the sky. The sun's golden rays beat down through the trees' branches. It was a beautiful day.

"It would be even more beautiful if Selenay wasn't so mournful," Kurama thought, as the wind's fingers brushed his skin. He had wished that Selenay would come back to enjoy the day with him. Even though it had been only two hours, he felt like it had been a few days he hadn't seen her.

Reaching into his pocket, he pulled out Kuronue's pendant. When he held it in his grasp it felt like his old friend was right next to him. He reminisced the time when Kuronue and himself had joked about who would finally get Selenay. Kurama gave a grin at the thought. It had been funny because neither one of them had thought about their true feelings back then. But when Kurama's human mother, Shiori, taught him about love and caring, thats when he started to think more on his feelings that came from the heart.

Though the human girls at school cherished him greatly, he felt bad for the other boys, who tried hard to get those girls to like them.

He wrapped the chain around his hand and grasp the dark pendant tightly in his palm. He sat their in silent prayer to his friend.

When he looked up Selenay was several feet in front of him with Yuma in her arms. He gave her a smile, "I'm glad you came back."

She gave a smile, but he could still see the sadness in her eyes. He pocketed the pendant, and watched as Yuma gave a bark of greeting to Kurama. Yuma jumped from Selenay's arms and circled Kurama for a moment before disappearing.

Kurama smiled, "I noticed Yuma is still with you."

"You know elemantals can live longer than demons," she replied, "Yuma doesn't have to stay with me but she decided to I guess."

Kurama walked up to her and pulled her into a hug. Selenay was a bit stunned, and she gazed into his eyes. The only thing that was the same was the calm look his eyes had. She relaxed a bit more and eased into his arms. He ran his hand through her silky hair. She closed her eyes and rested her head on his shoulder.

"Yoko. I have to go back to demon world. It is inadequate if I stay in the human world. I know humans have a brilliant imagination, but I understand that they have a hard time believing not all demons are evil. That is if they believe us demons exist in the first place. I may cause an uproar."

Kurama pulled back, releasing her. "Yes I understand. But you will visit, won't you?"

Selenay nodded, "Yes I'll try." She leaned forward and kissed him, before leaving.
