1Disclaimer: I own Kikiayo and Rose and that is all

at Suichi's house Friday evening

Kurama was home alone reading a book when he heard his door bell ring.

Kurama- "who could that be"

he opened the door to see none other than-

Kikiayo-"hi Suichi, you left this at school and I decided to bring it to you"

Kurama took the book she had handed him.

Kurama-"why don't you come in?"

Kikiayo turned to notice the snow outside was getting kind of thick it was normal for it to snow around this time but not this much.

Kikiayo-"um, sure"

Kurama continued to talk to Kikiayo for some time when he noticed blood on her shirt.

Kurama-"what the hell"

He started to noticed his own shirt get bloody and removed it to see a scar that read Rose in curvy script. Kurama struggled to explain but she put her hand on his lips and lifted her shirt to reveal a scar that read Youko in bold print. Kurama was slightly thrown back by the fact she had lfted her shirt but smiled at the word engraved there.

Kurama-" call me Kurama or Youk-

Rose interupted him

Rose-" call me Rose, Kurama"

Kurama was heartbroken at her decision to call him by his last name, but Rose was even more hurt he had not insisted on her calling him by his first name. They were both wondering if their marriage could be considered void, but dared not speak it aloud.

They decided she would stay there since the snow was now 3 feet deep and still falling. Shiori called and said she would not be home for two weeks because her flight was delayed (she was visiting a relative with her husband and stepson) Rose's mother called on her cell phone from a safari deep in the jungle saying she would be back in a couple of months) leaving two teenagers in an apartment for two weeks unsupervised, smells like a plot to me.
