Karana woke up to find someone's arm wrapped around her waist preventing her from getting up. She turned and saw Rimu lying next to her naked. Oh kami. Karana thought when she figured out what he had done to her.
"Oh so your awake." Rimu said as he sat up and looked down at Karana who was completely naked. "I found out why Youko wanted you for his mate." Rimu said and kissed Karana on the shoulder.
"Get the hell away from me you fucking bastard." Karana said and moved away from him and looked around the cave trying to find her kimono.
"Here," Rimu said and threw her a body suit and some royal armor. "You're a Princess and so you should dress like one." Rimu said and got up and put his clothes on and then he went to the entrance of the cave and looked around.
I feel different then I did yesterday. Karana thought as she tied the armor on to her shoulders. I hope I'm not pregnant. Karana thought and glanced over at Rimu. "Why did you rape me?" Karana asked and glared daggers at Rimu when he turned to look at her.
"I didn't rape you," Rimu said and walked over to Karana and kneeled down in front of her. "You were promised to me when you were first born, Lord Kuro said that as soon as you were old enough to have a mate I could clam you as mine." Rimu said and brought his hand up to Karana's cheek and smiled at her. "I was happy about it but I had to go into hiding for a few years so I couldn't clam you when you were old enough so when I heard of Youko kidnapping you then I knew he would charm you into mating with him so I had to find you." Rimu said and gripped Karana's chin and pulled her over and before their lips met he whispered. " I love you Karana."

"I can't just sit here doing nothing while that damn fucker has my poor Karana." Youko said as he jumped up and started to pace.
"Youko sit down and stay calm, Fitaria is out right now looking for Hiei and then we'll come up with a plan to get Princess Karana back don't worry." Kuronue said as he watched Youko pace back and forth.
"But.." Youko started to say but stopped talking when someone walked out of the bushes and looked at Youko and then at Kuronue.
"Are you Kuronue and Youko?" A young man with firey dark brown hair and violet eyes asked as he looked between Youko and Kuronue.
"Yes we are." Kuronue said and then he got up from where he was sitting and walked up next to Youko who had finally stopped pacing. "May we help you?"
"Karana told me to come help you rescue her." The young man said and looked over at Youko.
"And how do you know Princess Karana?" Kuronue asked as he got a little curious.
"We grew up together, I am the son of Lord Kuro's highest guard Giruni. My name is Toushi and I'm a Shadow Demon." Toushi said and walked over to the campfire and sat down. "Karana's in a cave to the south with Rimu she told me that he had beat her but after that she must have passed out because she didn't say anything else...I hope she's alright." Toushi said and looked at a silver piece of cloth on his wrist.
"So you know where she is but you haven't tried to save her!" Youko yelled at Toushi.
"I know she's in the south somewhere but I can't pin point her location if I could I would have already went after her myself." Toushi said and looked over at Youko out of the corner of his eye.
"Then your no help to us so why did you come here!" Youko yelled at Toushi.
"Because Karana asked me to come and help you that's the only reason I'm here, I sure as heck didn't come because of you or her bastard of a father." Toushi said and glared at Youko and Kuronue.
"So did you use to like Princess Karana or something?" Kuronue asked and smiled at Toushi.
"No! We were just very close friends when we were children." Toushi said and glared at Kuronue because of the question he had asked.

"Have you seen or heard of Hiei the half Ice Apparition and half Fire Demon?" Fitaria asked a Tiger Demon who they had met in the town they had come to.
"Uhm...Hiei...yes I've heard of that name somewhere before I think he lives up in the mountains, but every one who goes up there to talk to him never comes back so I would be careful if I were you." The Tiger Demon said and turned and sprinted off into the forest that the village they were at was next to.
"Well I guess we go to the mountains then Yumia." Fitaria said and looked back at Yumia who was standing behind her.
"I guess so." Yumia said and nodded and then they both started up the mountain path.
It took them about thirty minutes to reach a clearing and when they did they decided they would rest and continue on later that day.
"So how long do we have before we reach the top Yumia?" Fitaria asked and looked over at Yumia.
"Hold on let me see." Yumia said and spread her butterfly like wings and flew up past the trees. She looked around and then came back down and smiled at Fitaria. "I'd say about two more hours."
"Well let's get some rest so we can move fast tomorrow and not waste any time." Fitaria said and laid back on the ground. I hope Kuronue and the others are all right. Fitaria thought as she slipped off to sleep.

"Here is your daughter Lord Kuro." Rimu said as he walked into the thrown room and over to Lord Kuro.
"Let me go I don't want to come here." Karana said as she tried to get away from Rimu.
"Why don't you want to be home sweetheart?" Kuro asked and looked at his daughter a little confused.
"Because you murdered everyone who ever cared about me and never let me have a life and now that I do have a life and a mate you send dickhead here to screw it up." Karana said and glared at her father who looked completely shocked at his daughter's words.
"Mate? What do you mean mate you don't have a mate." Kuro said and looked down at his daughter.
"Yes I do and his name is Youko Kurama!" Karana yelled and glared daggers at her father and Rimu. "And I also know that I'm caring Rimu's child since he raped me!" Karana yelled and pointed at Rimu.
"What!" Kuro asked confused and turned to look at Rimu shocked.
"She's lying I did no such thing, I would never do that to her." Rimu said and gave Karana a death glare. "She's just a little upset from being captured by Youko the Makai Thief she doesn't know what she's saying." Rimu said and looked at Kuro.
"My darling you are just upset about that horrible creature Youko capturing you calm down it will be fine now I'll have my top soldiers find him and kill him for capturing you." Kuro said and walked over to his daughter and pulled her into a huge.
"Get your damn hands off me!" Karana yelled and shoved Kuro away from her. "I don't consider you my father if you want me to mate with this piece of shit." Karana said and pointed at Rimu who was walking over toward her.
"Do you really feel that way about me my love?" Rimu asked and wrapped his arm around Karana's shoulders and pulled her close to him.
"Get away from me! Youko is the only one I allow to call me 'love' so get your damn hands off me!" Karana yelled and shoved Rimu away from her and then she started to glow a bright red.
"Damn what's happening to her?" Rimu asked as he looked at Karana's glowing form with complete and utter shock.
"Oh no...her mother's powers are finally surfacing." Kuro said and looked at his daughter in horror.
A huge flash of light shot from Karana and then when Rimu and Kuro turned back to look at her she
had completely changed.
She now had waist length bright red hair, moon silver eyes, small red fox ears coming from the top of her head and five bright red and silver fox tails swishing lively behind her.
"Wha..what happened to her? She's a kitsune now!" Rimu yelled in complete shock as he stared at the new Karana.
"Her mother was a Fire Kitsune, I always told her that she was a pure Rain Demon but I told her that so she wouldn't try to find her kitsune powers." Kuro said and looked down at the ground a little worried.
"Father," Karana said and opened her piercing silver eyes and looked at her father. "Why didn't you ever let me learn about my mother's powers?"
"Because I wanted to keep you safe sweetheart, Fire Kitsune's are rare. All the demons around would come for you and try and make you their mate because if a male mates with a female Fire Kitsune he will live as long as his mate does. And Fire Kitsune live forever or until they are killed by another kitsune." Kuro explained and looked at Karana with fear in his eyes.
"So you had my mother killed by Rimu because she was stronger than you and you couldn't take that could you." Karana said and gave her father and Rimu a cold glare as flames started to fly up from around her feet.
"Sweetheart calm down please." Kuro said and started to walk toward Karana but was stopped by a wall of fire.
"Leave me, my mate, and my friends alone or I'll kill your ass." Karana said and turned and started to walk for the entrance/exit to the castle.
