The rest of the night was a blur to Mayumi. She vaguely remembered Kurama helping Kinta with her injuries and thought she had heard him tell their friend to take care of the body and Mayumi's things, that she would return for them one day. Mayumi lost consciousness shortly there after.

Her eye's fluttered open to be met with dim torch light. At first she had supposed it was all a dream, that she was back in her room at the tavern but the smell was different. It smelled like, well nature. Slowly she sat up and clutched her head. "My heads killing me. I feel really sick." She stated aloud. She opened her eye's completely to find herself in a beautiful canopy bed. The blankets which covered her were made from a lush fur adorned with silver beading along its edges. She lightly touched the canopy that drapped down and almost gasped at the cloth's silkiness. She swung her feet over the side and parted the material. She looked down as her feet fell upon the softest carpet she had ever felt. Her eye's traced the intricate pattern all the way around until she was looking back at her feet. "What is this place?" She asked herself standing. "And what am I wearing"
She wondered looking down at her garments. The color was a pure white that matched her skin tone almost perfectly. It looked similar to a gown but was simple indicating it was sleep wear. She smoothed it out and even spun around making it twirl around her when she noticed the mirror. At first she was surprised but then remembered what it was, Kinta had one in her room. Mayumi approached it slowly and stared at herself. She had not seen in reflection since before she was captured. Her mouth opened slightly agape as she took in the one staring back. She was not a child anymore that was for sure. Hurridly she ran her fingers through her long crimson locks and looked away.
"I hate looking at myself." She stated quietly. Mayumi found that this place was a cave and it did have many rooms to it. Along every wall there were scrolls, paintings or lavish tapestries adorning them and every room had fine jewels, robes and other materials. The room however that got her attention was what she guessed to be an armory of some sort. Multiple suits of armor from all different classes and species of demon lined the walls to form a circle. In the middle of the room were the weapons. Swords lay sheathed beside battle axes and mallets almost bigger than Mayumi herself. She looked at daggers of all sizes, some ornamental and others not but what got her attention was a bow. She picked it up holding it in her hand, it felt good. She raised it and plucked the bow string that had to be made out of raw hide. "Too bad there's no..." Her eyes lit up as she spotted a quiver loaded with arrows. She picked it up and smiled slightly as the silver tips glimmered in the pale lighting. "Hm. Yes this will do nicely." She said swinging the quiver over her shoulder and exiting the room. Ahead of her lay two large wooden doors that were slight ajar. Hesitantly she walked in and gasped at all the magnificance. Jewels lay in protective cases along the walls, ancient scrolls, books and talismans hung upon the walls alongside many different cloths every color imaginable that drapped down towards a sort of alter where a velvety black chair sat. Mayumi approached it glancing every way around her admiring everything when a sharp sting struck her dead in the neck. She put her hand to it to feel a barb of some sort sticking out. She pulled it out and placed a hand to the injury. Her eye's began to cloud over as she heard a hissing type sound from her left. Slowly she turned to see the most beautiful blossom bobbing up and down as if threatening her.
"So your the one who shot me? Figures."

"Mayumi awake." The voice came distantly and she couldn't quite make out who it was.
"Awake." It commanded again. Her eyes slit open resisting her best efforts but she managed to catch a quick glimpse of whom it was.
"Uhh, kitsune?" She asked groggily.
"Yes it is me." He said simply and left her side. Mayumi sat up feeling even sicker than before and looked around. She was back in the room that she had awoken in earlier.
"The toxin will remain in your system for another forty eight hours. Until that time is up it would be best to remain in bed." Kurama said sitting back on the edge.
"You are lucky. Until they get to know you better you can not wander around here on your own"
"They"
"The plant life. Be grateful I arrived when I did otherwise it would have been too late"
"I didn't even see it until I had already been hit." She said rubbing her eyes.
"That is the point. The room where you were struck in is my personal area so naturally I have it guarded. Be grateful you did not get caught by my tangle tree." He said quite seriously.
"A tree? In that room? I didn't see any tree Kurama." She said looking at him through half open eyes.
"Of course you didn't then that would defeat the purpose of protection from bandits know wouldn't it?" "Who would try and steal from you"
"Don't be so naive. There are many young fools or just plain fools whom would love to be able to brag that they stole from Yoko Kurama." "Has any one ever"
"Don't be stupid. Of course not." He said arrogantly.
"Well I guess your just too damn good kitsune." She said somewhat sarcastically. Kurama grinned and laughed a bit.
"Yes I am. I'm glad you understand now"
"Your arrogance will be the death of you"
"Please spare me Mayumi. I am untouchable."

Mayumi stared at him for some time before shaking her head.
"What is that for?" He asked his ears twitching.
"Nothing. It's nothing."
