Chapter2-Miricales and secrets

Hours later ,Cassie awoke to find Nick ,and Kurama hovering anxiously over her .She sat up ,holding her head. She immediately laid back down. "Unnnh ,what in the seven hells happened to me?" She asked to no one in particular. She suddenly heard Nick say from somewhere next to her ,as Kurama went back into the kitchen for an ice pack, " You collapsed without any warning whatsoever. That cut on your neck had some extremely lethal poison in it You were really lucky that Kurama was here. .If not for Kurama 's help, you would've been pushing up daisies by now. You know full well I'm no good making antidotes. Look what happened in chemistry last week! What the hell got to you anyway?" Cassie scratched the back of her neck ,trying to figure out a good excuse or risk telling them everything. She looked at the crescent moon clock on the wall and sighed. "If you two wouldn't mind sitting down ,I've got something to tell you both and it may take a while to explain all the details….." Kurama came back in from the kitchen with a new ice pack and sat down next to Cassie in the other armchair and she began her story.

"Well I suppose this all starts when I was six. That's when I found out that I was no ordinary girl. Our house caught fire and I was stuck inside .It looked like that there was no way out for me ,until I felt a pair of wings come out of my back. The fire made a path for me like I 'd swept it away with a brush of my hand .I got of the house and fell against a tree .Normal. Then that's when I noticed that my hair was on fire Without thinking I was able to call up a thunderstorm and I fell asleep against the tree' till morning. I woke up like nothing had happened at all .And to make it even weirder, I found out I was able to control plants later that day. I 've learned to control my powers over the years though. The three demons who share my body with me are Kiona the Kitsune, Renae the fire apparition, and Rikiu ,King of the lightning dragons Rikiu's talent comes especially in handy when I'm trying to get home before a storm starts. I can transform into any one of them at will. Eventually ,to help pay to have the house rebuilt, I took up a job as a thief and assian. I still do it for fun sometimes ,like I was about two weeks ago .I was hired to take out Seiryu the Ice Dragon. Naturally I went in as Renae, made short work of him ,but not before he got one shot in on me. I had no clue that his claws were poisonous. I guess I was pretty lucky that Kurama was here after all."

Nick had a small smile on her face as she said "I 've got a confession to make too .I 'm a dragon demon .Actually the last five incarnations of the Dragon of the Darkness Flame to be exact." Cassie just gaped at her until the strong breeze reminded them all of the open window. "Sorry about that ".Kurama said as he closed the aforementioned window ."Cassie you need your sleep, you're still not fully recovered from that poison from Seiryu yet" .Kurama continued forcing Cassie to lie back down on the cot that he and Nick had constructed earlier. "I'm perfectly fine ,I've got other things to do right now .Like start looking for books in the library on poisoned dragons so that this never happens again." She tried to walk only to have Kurama catch her before she hit her head on the floor seconds later." See what did I tell you ?Now lie back down .You must rest." Kurama insisted gently before turning to Nick. "Keep an eye on her and make sure she doesn't wake up or try to get up for a while at least. I'll be out in the kitchen working on the second batch of the antidote" Nick nodded gratefully and reached for the phone to call her parents to let them know she'd be staying the night at Cassie's house again. Meanwhile out in the kitchen Kurama was having his own problems.

"Suichi?"

"What now Yoko?"

"I'm just wondering if you've been here the past six hours .

"What is that supposed to mean for goodness sake?"

"Have you even looked at Cassie ?Or are you still in need of my help in that area?"

"For God's sake Yoko! I just met Cassie today and you've already got plans for her?

"Just so you know ,I'm part of you and vice versa .I know you want her as much as I do."

"The fact that you're part of me scares me quite a bit sometimes but if it'll shut you up then ,yes you're right. But it's too soon anyway Now will you shut up already?

"fine , spoilsport but only because I finally got you to admit it"

Kurama rolled his emerald green eyes in exasperation. He didn't need Yoko bothering him right now of all times .Not when he was working on something this important that Cassie's life hung by. He walked back into the room with the antidote bottle. He stopped and stared at Cassie asleep there on the cot. She looked just like an angel that had fallen from heaven. Surely it wouldn't hurt if he just gave her one quick kiss…He set the antidote bottle down and leaned over the cot and ever so gently brushed his lips over Cassie's. He pulled away before Yoko got the better of him. He suddenly felt the window come open behind him .Without wasting a motion he picked up the antidote bottle and proceeded to wake Cassie up .She was awake just enough to take her medicine and she fell back asleep. Once he had finished with his he turned to his new visitor. "Why don't you take a seat Hiei?" "Your twin sister should be back any minute."
