Part Twenty Two: Meì kuí 's Story

The soft sound of padded feet echoed softly down the empty hallway as two golden eyes waited patiently for the figure to come into site. It didn't take long before the slender form of a women dressed in a tight Japanese robe to emerge from the shadows. The women's steps were uneven, and her movements were jerky, but besides that, the women's face showed no outside sign of her pain. In fact, her face was completely void of emotions as though she was wearing a mask.

The golden eyes shut in disappointment, only to snap open a second later as the women growled and slammed her fist against the wall.

"Damn it!" the women yelled lowering her body to the ground. "Why the hell do I still love him?"

"Perhaps it is because you realize now how foolish your hatred…" the golden eyed women said stopping as furious golden blue eyes snapped toward her.

"Shut up, I did not ask you for your opinion," Meì kuí hissed out staring at the older fox maiden.

"But you asked a question," Meí nü pointed out, approaching the other women completely unfazed by the other demon's glare, "Don't be mad if you don't like the answer."

Meì kuí 's eyes lowered as she thought about the other women's words. "Are you trying to say you know all of the answers to my questions?" Meì kuí demanded, but beside her harshness, the older women was able to catch a hint of desperation.

"The only way to know anything is to ask," Meí nü offered.

Meì kuí hesitated, but soon all of her shields, all of her feeling were released, and she was left looking very vulnerable and frightened.

"Tell me why Kurama attacked me so viciously yesterday?" Meì kuí asked rubbing her injured arm.

"You don't know?" Meí nü asked startled.

"I don't remember anything from yesterday. A part of my life is missing from me, and all I know is I have plant wounds that only one person could do," Meì kuí admitted.

"True, it was my brother who inflicted those wounds upon you, but … I had assumed that he attacked you because you were trying to expose him and ruin his mission, but…"

"That doesn't sound like him at all," Meì kuí finished.

Meí nü shook her head in agreement. "Something more had gone on that day that even I don't understand. I was hoping you would be able to shed some light, but the fact that you don't even remember the even is disturbing," Meí nü explained looking at the younger fox maiden squarely in the eye, "I really think you should talk to Kurama. Please put you hatred aside for the moment. There is something bigger going on, and we all may be in danger," Meí nü pointed out.

"I don't need Kurama's help or pitty!" Meì kuí yelled, "but if what you say is true, he may end up needing my help," Meì kuí said, her voice softening as a small smile crossed her face.

"You've forgiven him," Meí nü stated knowingly.

"I have. It is hard not to when he is in that human boy form, and it is hard to continue hating someone that you have loved for so long…but I know, I know things can never go back to the way they were. I lost that right when I vowed revenge against him," Meì kuí explained her expression growing serious. "I agree with you about the danger of Kurama's mission, and because of that reason, I do not want Kurama knowing about my change toward him. There is something that happened in the forest, and it will be better if he remains cautious of me," Meì kuí explained.

Meí nü smiled, and nodded her approval before she transformed into her beast form and disappeared down the hall.

TBC.

Author's endnote: Sorry about the shortness of this chapter, I just wanted to get deeper into my characters, and to add another interesting plot twist. The next chapter should be up soon.
