Kurama gently laid a pair of white roses by the gloomy gray tombstone. He read the words there as he had so often:

Sosaku Yumidashe Minamino

1990-2010

In death she brought life

Beloved mother and wife

He stepped back and gave a sad little smile, even though his eyes were stinging. A tiny hand grabbed his. "Daddy, where did Mommy go?"
Kurama looked down at the small child beside him. It was a boy child, with silver hair and deep blue eyes. "She had to go with Miss Botan, to a better place, little Inochi."
The boy looked at his mother's tombstone, seeming to consider this. He then looked back up at his father. "Is she happy, Daddy?"
The fox tried very hard to save face, even as a tear trickled down his cheek. "I hope so..."
Inochi smiled. "It's okay then, as long as she's happy." He tugged at Kurama's hand, pulling him away back to the car. "Come on, Daddy! I want to go visit Uncle Hiei!"
Kurama laughed through his tears and followed his son. He could find happiness in his child, no matter what he had lost. But sometimes he wondered who was hurt more. Was it himself... or the demon inside him...?
