"She's got a smile that it seems to me
Reminds me of childhood memories
Where everything
Was as fresh as the bright blue sky"

-Guns and Roses

"Yes mother, I'm sorry for worrying you." Kurama said into the phone at Genkai's temple as he leaned against the wall.

"It's okay Shuuichi, I understand how excited you get when you're with your friends, and it's not the first time you've taken off early in the morning."

'If only she knew how early,' Kurama thought. "Yes well, I am staying the night at Yusuke's I'm helping him with a project."

"Alright, Shuuichi, Do you have everything you need?"

"Yes mother, thank you."

"Alright Shuu-"

Kurama's eyes widened slightly as he heard his mother start to cough. "Mother? Daijobu?"

"Hai, Shuuichi, I'm fine."

"Are you sure?"

"Yes, yes. Don't worry."

"I can't do that." Kurama smiled, into the phone.

"I suppose not, sayonara Shuuichi."

"Sayonara, mother." Kurama smiled, hanging up the phone.

"Gee," Yusuke said from the couch, "I don't know if I should talk to my mom more often...or gag."

"Yusuke." The fox sighed. Everyone knew how sensitive that subject was for Kurama; it had been his main reason for being in the human world. If she had died, he would have returned to the Makai as the thief, Youko Kurama, long ago.

"Hey just kidding man, learn how to take a joke." Yusuke said, walking to his friend, with his hands resting behind his head. "...Anyway," Yusuke said changing the subject. "Mind telling me why you brought psycho chick back here?"

"It's as I said Yusuke, I have questions."

"But why didn't you-"

"Kurama." The said fox looked up to see the old priestess, Genkai, coming out of a sealed room. "She's waking up."

"Good." Kurama said walking toward the door. "Master Genkai, would you?" Kurama asked motioning to the door sealed with sutras. "Hn, demons." Genkai smirked opening the door letting the fox in and closing it behind him.

"Man I don't get it!" The orange haired human said from the couch. "Kurama's acting way too weird, I mean weirder than shortie!"

"Baka." The said jaganashi murmured from the corner.

"Hiei, What's with Kurama? He could have taken her out, right? He had his death plant in her." The half-demon asked turning to the fire apparition.

"Hn, I could care less what happens to her. Kurama's interests are of no concern to me. As for why he healed the woman trying to take his life is beyond me. If anything it's this human world making him weak." The male koorime huffed, rising and walking to sit outside.

"Excuse me!" Yusuke yelled, "Is their some kind of demon PMS going around that I should know about, 'cause you two are acting pretty damn pissy!" The spirit detective's answer was the shoji door being slammed shut. "I'll take that as a yes." He mumbled.

'Kurama.' The jaganashi thought, sitting on the end of the porch. 'What the hell are you thinking?'

"The human world?" The silhouette asked. "Are you sure, Kara?"

"Yes." Replied the crow from her place kneeled on the mat. "I know, for sure."

"Then go, kill Kurama, do not fail us."

"Yes, Ainiku." Kara said.

Kara eyes opened slowly taking in her surroundings. 'I'm alive?' she wondered.

"Ohayo." A familiar voice greeted her.

Kara's eyes widened as she reached for her dagger. Confusion clouded her mind as she felt her thigh, her dagger was gone, and so was the holster.

"Standard procedure."

Kara rolled her head to her left to face her speaker, 'Kurama'. "Procedure?"

"Taking away one's weapons when capturing them." The kitsune replied. "Don't think about using an attack either. We are in Master Genkai's temple she sealed this room with sutras. Besides from the death plant, your demon energy will be drained for a few days anyway."

"Where you actually planning to kill me physically, or simply talk me to death about how weak my condition is?" Kara spat.

"I don't plan to kill you, Kara."

"Why in the three worlds not! I was planning to kill you!" yelled sitting up, pulling the robe she had been dressed in closer to her.

"You just answered yourself." Kurama replied. "Yesterday when you first appeared, I did think you were fighting me for revenge."

"I was." Kara glared.

"No, you weren't." Kurama opened his eyes and locked gazes with her. "If you were, I don't believe I would be standing her. You would have fought much more brutally. I fought your father, he fought me for fun, and you were almost taking things as lightly as him."

"Liar! I came to take revenge."

"I'm old, Kara. I've seen how vengeful people fight; you were not fighting like one. You fought like you had to."

"Do all youkos think they know everything?"

"I'm right aren't I? And yes we do know everything."

Kara remained silent, purple orbs looking through the fox.

"Koenma is coming."

"To arrest me I suppose."

"He can't."

The crow arched an eyebrow. "Toying with me, are you."

"Not at all, in spirit world's laws you have done nothing wrong in the Niginki. Return to the demon world as soon as your strength returns."

"What do you want from me?" Kara asked.

"Answers. How did you know my human location and name?"

"Youko spoke your human name from the final round of the tournament."

"And my school and locker locations." Kurama asked from his seat across from her.

"Messengers." Kara answered.

"Demon messengers?" Kurama pressed.

"No, crows." Kara sighed laying back down. "You didn't give me a real answer; why don't you kill me?" she asked eyes still locked with his emerald depths. "Don't tell me you would pity me, kitsune."

"No, I wouldn't." Kurama answered rising. "I brought you food." Kurama motioned toward the plate by her feet.

"I don't eat your human food." Kara spat. "Why wont you answer me."

"I will, but not now." Kurama said going to the door an asking someone to open it. Once it was Kurama turned to the female crow. "You should eat, or you wont get back your strength."

"If I get back my strength, know that I will come after you again."

"I already knew that." Kurama commented as the door was shut.

"Are you absolutely sure then?" Koenma asked from his seat across from the fox.

The kitsune looked up at the spirit ruler in teen form. "Yes, just let her be."

"Kurama, She can be arrested you know. Illegal entry to the human world, and almost killing a member of my team." The teen offered looking up.

"Frankly as you mentioned she is only a upper B class yokai which makes her entrance legal. You have also forgotten that I have never officially worked for you. I simply paid off my debt, and did a few favors of my own free will." The fox replied. "Excuse me." He stood, walking to the door, having Genkai open it and shut it behind him once again.

"Damn, this whole things got him acting weird." Kuwabara commented from his seat.

"We all witnessed his fight with Karasu." Koenma sighed leaning back. "From what Spirit world's intelligence has told me, Kara is almost identical and as lethal. This stuff must be bringing back some of those bad memories."

"I still don't understand why he let bomb girl live." Yusuke sighed. "She's just going to go after him again, right?"

"I hope not." Koenma said, "But even if she does it seems we'll just have to let Kurama deal with this on his own. He's thinking of something, I just wish one of us knew what." The prince admitted looking at the sealed door.

On the other side the kitsune sat cross-legged on the floor, book in hand. He paused in his reading to look at the demoness. 'Rest well, Kara. We still have more to speak of.' Kurama thought looking at the girl curled up on the futon, a now half eaten bowl of rice lying by her feet.

Thank you all again for reading, please keep the reviews coming, they really help! Even you ghost readers! See you next time!

MariQ, yes Kara is pretty strong. Not an A-class like Kurama, but still an upper B, not bad. As for the turn out, all I can say is wait and see. And definitely keep reviewing.

Kuranga108, I'm glad you liked my fight scene it's one of my first. Yes Kurama did not kill her, I tried to answer why in this chapter, but I love leaving you guys in suspense. It just makes the next chapter easier to write. Sorry 'bout that.

What2callmyself, Well I'm updating and I hope this chapter will satisfy you until I can pour out another, thanks for reviewing please keep it up!

PunkShinigami, Hm, the shonen jump formula? I don't know. My stories have a mind of their own. I just write what the voices inside my head tell me, but no complaints so far right Itooshi?
