Chapter 5
So here I was again. Waiting in my house until the danger hopefully stopped. I didn't think that this was going to happen again. I mean,it was peaceful for six months. Couldn't it at least be peaceful until the wedding? But no. Someone had to come and try to ruin everything for us. And now I might not even get to see Kurama again.
Later that afternoon Kayko came by the house to see if I was ok. I didn't want to tell her that I was scared. I knew that she could already tell. I wanted him to come back. I wanted him to come back alive. I didn't want to feel scared again.
"Nicole?"she asked as she knocked on my door.
"Come in Kayko."
"Are you ok?"she asked as she came into the room and closed the door.
I was sitting by the windowsill waiting for Kurama's return. She came over and sat by me on the windowsill. "No. Not really. You?"
"I'm not ok either."
"Because of Yusuke?"
"No. Because of the demons."
"That's why they're out there."
I wanted to cry. I missed Kurama so much,even though he had only been gone for less than a day. But this was just too much for me. First he almost gets himself killed at the dark tournament, and then a month later he almost gets killed again. This was just way to much for me. I didn't want to be like this anymore. But I loved him. That's why I stayed with him.
"I'm going to stay here."
"What?"
"I'm going to sit here and wait until he comes back. I know he doesn't want me to get hurt, but--."
My sentence was soon interrupted by the sudden opening of my door. It was Yusuke. And he had a really bad,beaten up Kurama with him. I almost cried when I saw him.
"Yusuke! What happened?!"I asked as I ran over to him.
"There's too many demons out there. I had to find someone to heal him,and quick. The hospital's too far."
I remembered the last time I tried to heal Kurama. He almost wouldn't let me. I wasn't sure about doing it again. "What about Yukina?"
"She's too far. Please Nicole. I know this seems difficult,but we really need you right now. Please do this. And not just for me."
"All right. But this might take a while."
"Take as much time as you need. We just need him to get better."
I took him from Yusuke and laid him on my bed. I couldn't believe it. First I had almost gotten killed...and now this. I just stood there,not saying a word. I was just too scared to do anything.
Yusuke was over at the door,and he still hadn't left. He could tell that I was scared. He came over to me and put his hand on my shoulder.
"Hey. You ok?"he asked.
I sighed and shook my head. "No. Not really. Do you know what happened Yusuke?"
He shook his head "No. Not really. I found him in the alley down the street. There's too many demons."
Now I felt so stupid. This was Sakyou's plan. To have demons here in the first place. How stupid I was to even call him my lover now that his had happened(even though he wasn't anymore.). I felt like this was my fault to begin with. "Oh god."
"I'm sorry. I really am. I just wish I could've stopped them from doing this."
"It wasn't your fault. He's still got a pulse Yusuke. So don't start saying your sorry yet. I'm going to start healing him soon."
"All right then. I'm going to take Kayko home then."
I nodded. "All right. Be careful out there Yusuke."
"You don't have to tell me that,"and he walked out the room with Kayko.
But as my eye moved from the door,it started to move back to Kurama,who was starting to wake up. I wanted to cry because he looked like he was in so much pain.
"Wh-Where am I?"he asked as he started to wake up.
"The place you probably shouldn't be at the moment. But they're too many demons."
He started to sit up a little bit more. "Did you bring me here?"
"No. Yusuke found you in the alley down the street."
"Oh. Right."
He put his head back down on the pillow. He just looked like he was in so much pain that I couldn't help feel sorry for him. I felt like this was all my fault. I wanted to cry so badly.
I couldn't believe that this had happened. I felt so stupid. He put his hand on my face. I moved my face down and he kissed me.
"Kurama,I'm going to have to heal you one way or the other. The hospital's too far and I don't want you to...well,you know..."
"It's ok. I understand why Yusuke brought me here."
"Will you let me help?"
"Yes. That would be great."
"Good."
"Can I ask you something?"
"Yes?"
"What was the real reason you wanted to find me.
"Because Kurama...I was scared and I wanted to know what the heck was going on. I hate it when stuff like this happens..."I wanted to finish my statement,but he had already fallen asleep. Please don't leave me,I thought. I love you too much. You almost left me once and I don't want that to happen again Kurama.

Chapter 6
For about a week I took care of Kurama. I was so afraid that he was going to slip away and never come back. But he never did that. He stayed strong as I healed him. Good thing too. The last thing I wanted to do was to bury another person that I loved.
I wouldn't want to bury Kurama anyways. I would have to bear the face that he was gone and was never going to come back. But he didn't leave this time. I was truly grateful for that. I at least did something that I wasn't going to regret for the rest of my life.
The one thing that started too improve too was that the demons were starting to disappear. I almost thought that they were going to attack this side of the town. But Yusuke,Kuwabara,and Hiei put a stop to it before it even got here. The good thing too was that Kayko didn't get hurt either. I wouldn't want to think about what the outcome would be if something had happened to her.
That morning I was still watching over Kurama. I had barely gotten any sleep because I was so worried about him. I was just glad that his health was returning and that he was going to be ok. He was still in a little bit of pain though. I couldn't blame him.
"Nicole?"he asked as he started to wake up.
"Yes?"
"You really should get some sleep. You've been taking care of me for a week now."
I smiled and shook my head. "Not until you get better Kurama. You would tell me the same thing."
"I know." He put his hand on my face and kissed me. "Thank you so much. I love you."
"I love you too. How are you feeling?"
"A whole lot better,thank you."
"It's the least I could do."
He shook his head and smiled. "No. It's the most you could do at a time like this."
I bent my head down and he kissed me again. I wanted to cry so much. This was the closest we had been since he had left me. But he was only here to get better. That was the reason that made me cry. My emotion were running so high that even a tear managed to fall down my face.
"What this?"he asked as wiped the tear off my face. "A tear? You shouldn't be sad now. I'm going to be better. You know that."
I sighed. "I know."
He kissed me again. "I know. I know. This isn't easy for you. Seeing me like this. But I did promise you that I was going to be better right?"
I nodded. "Right."
"Then I'm not going to let you down and you know that." He kissed me again. "I can't leave you know. Not before we get married."
I smiled. "Good."
"I'm going to do whatever it takes to be with you. So don't worry about me all right?"
"Ok."
"I love you."
"I love you too."
"You really should get some rest you know."
"Kind of hard now don't you think?"
"I'm getting better. So don't worry about me and get some sleep all right?"
I sighed. "Ok."
"Go get some sleep? I'll be by your side when you wake up ok?"
I smiled. "Ok."
