-Chapter 3-
Three kids left, just three, and yet, Kurama is still at the nightmare realm. School, the place Kurama wanted to be most; away from the lazy bum, the idiot and the fly zapper. Kurama looked out the window, the breeze sent dozens of sakura petals flying across the air. The scenery was beautiful; just the school yard, with not one person on the field, as the petals daintily fill the empty space. Through the petals, all you could see is the mall buildings and houses, and in them you could see… SMOKE! There was a fire, somewhere, Kurama saw; it was directed towards where the orphanage was. Kurama began to think, how was he supposed to get out of school? In his thought, he couldn't hear his teacher screaming.
Sensei- "Shuichi Kun! You mother called! She said go to the orphanage now!"
Kurama ran, as fast as he could. He ran pass the morning shoppers, and almost tripping half the way. He saw, the flames slowly devouring the small house. He saw his mother, with her hand covering her mouth in shock and despair. He saw the neighbors, he saw the firemen, but he did not see the three. The three orphans were not there, are they still inside? He ran to his mother, asking her question after question, not stopping to let her answer. She shook her head, and forced a small smile, "They couldn't find them…"
With that, Kurama eyes widened, he poured a bucket of water on himself and he ran inside the burning house. Shiori watched, as her son ran in, 'He will be alright…' and she walked home, praying for the safety of her son and the three.
Red, the flame burned in Kurama's eyes, he could hardly see anything through the thick fog of smoke. He saw no one, not one living creature in the bursts of the flames. He ran in further, attempting to see at least one of the three. Kurama stopped short, the smoke had gotten to him, he fell to his knees, as his vision blurred, he saw a figure looking at him and then… the vision became pitch black.
Youko was running, with treasure in his hands and Koronue behind him. Another success he would've thought and then… Koronue's amulet slit. Koronue chased after it, and was trapped. Youko attempted to save him, but Koronue insisted he left him. Before Youko's eyes, he saw Koronue go into the other world. Kurama saw the bloodshed, the sacrifice for a priceless piece of treasure and
He screamed.
Kurama woke up, panting and sweating in fear.
Kimi- "Who's Koronue?"
Kurama looked at Kimi; her clothes were half burnt, making her white tank top's edges tinted with brown. Her pants were the same, her hair was darkened by the soot and smoke. She smiled wither eyes closed waiting for an answer. "He's a friend…"
Kurama blinked and saw his surrounding. He was in the backyard of the house, the house was burnt to the ground, and everyone else has left. The sakura petals once again flew across the winds, without a care in the world. Kurama then realized he was cold; he gathered his knees into his arms and realized, his uniform was gone. His face grew almost as red as his hair as he asked, "Uhh... Kimi, Where are my clothes?"
Kimi pointed to the other end of the yard, he saw there that his clothes were blowing in the wind, drying. Underneath them, he saw Aki, unconscious, or maybe, just sleeping. He walked over to see which it was, leaning down to see her face, and then, her eyes shot opened. Slowly, she stood up, as Kurama fell onto the grass bottom first. Her t-shirt had been ripped and burnt, making it now a tank top, with part of her midriff showing, her sweatpants had been ripped into capris as well. She looked dazed, her eyes ran angrily through Kurama, and she walked off to another tree. Kimi walked over smiling, "Aki is so nice, she used her clothes your help you seal the wounds." Kurama looked at himself once again, his right arm, right leg and right shoulder was wrapped with linings of silver and blue. He smiled, walked towards Aki once again, and whispered in her ear, "Thank you."
-Aki's POV-
'That stupid fox thinks he knows everything and winds up getting himself burned and scrapped. He couldn't even tell what Kimi, Kyo and I really are. And he's supposed to be the legendary Yokou? Ugh, every time I see that girly man's face I just want to take out my fly zapper again. I even had to rip out some of my clothes, I feel so friggin uncomfortable. And he thinks he can make things better with thanks. He better not bring me anymore trouble, OR I WILL TAKE OUT MY FLY ZAPPER!'
-Third Person POV-
Kimi start running around trying to catch the petals but tripping over her extra long and baggy pants each time, as Kurama was starting to think of what's missing. Then he realized, and he shouted, "WHERE IS KYO!" Aki woke up grunting at the scream and went back to sleep. Kimi tripped once again at the sound of the sudden screaming,
Kimi- "Ow… Kyo took you out here and she just left. BUT SHE WAS BLEEDING A LOT! you might find her blood trail somewhere! "
Kurama-"WHAT? AND YOU DIDN'T STOP HER!"
Aki – (calmly from the tree) "She made it clear she wanted to be alone, she'll be back later."
Kurama- "WELL, WHERE DID SHE GO?"
Aki- (standing up) "Away from you…."
With those words Aki headed across the grounds where the house once stood, and into the forest. Kurama watched as she walked lifelessly, half swaying as she dragged herself into the dark forest.
Kimi- "Where am I going to sleep tonight! I DO NOT WANT TO SLEEP ON THE GROUND!"
Kurama- (ignoring previous question) "How did this happen?"
Kimi- "oh… umm… eh… I tried cooking breakfast and um… (giant sweatdrop) I kinda mixed the hot oil with water… and sparks flew everywhere, and I knocked the pan over and the fire just went across the room." ;;;
Kurama- (-) "Kimi… you are an idiot…"
Kimi- "So where I am going to sleep!"
-End-
Kimi- I STILL didn't find out where I'm going to sleep you know…
