Chapter 17

Nakamura cried in the corner of the room, as she watched Kurama and Katsu take their punishment.

Koenma had given them 3 options. They had to let Nakamura live in the Makai forever without them ever seeing her. Which both Kurama and Katsu said no to. Their second choice was for them to stay in spirit jail, but both also refused. And their last and probably most cruelest was for them to be whipped. They both agreed to that one.

Nakamura cried harder every time she watched Kurama and Katsu get whipped, skinning them and making more blood shed. Both of them had several lashes on their backs, but both refused to cry or yell out in pain.

'You idiots. Why didn't you just chose one of the other ones?' Nakamura thought as she held the blue diamond in her hand.

Katsu had taken them to his mother, which happened to be CHANGSHI, where they found out Nakamura was the grand child of the old kistune with eyes as blue as the diamond itself. They were happy they learned that and gave the diamond to Nakamura. Katsu and Nakamura talked and got to know each other. Nakamura felt as if he was her older brother, an older brother that she had kissed though. Kurama and her had talked and slept under the stars that night. Everything ended that morning when about 20 ogres captured all three of them and took them off to Koenma.

King Enma stepped into the room and raised his hand for the ogres to stop. The ogres took their last harsh slashes at the two before stopping. They untied them and moved away.

Nakamura stood up and ran over to Kurama. She hugged him, forgetting about the slashes until she felt him cringe. She let go of him. "Kurama, you didn't have to do this. You could have just let me leave or something. You didn't have to go through this." Nakamura said, through tears.

Kurama hugged her, and whispered into her ear. "I couldn't let you leave, I love you too much to not be able to see you Nakamura."

Nakamura cried silently into his chest, not caring if she got blood all over herself.

"KATSU!"

Nakamura looked up from Kurama's chest. She saw a light blue haired, tea green eyed, kitsune.She had two light blue ears and 3 light blue tails, all white tipped. She was running towards katsu who she also hugged.

"Yariatsi, what are you doing here." Katsu said, hugging her back.

"Katsu, I love you. I always wanted to tell you so, but was too afraid to." She said, as tears fell from her eyes.

Nakamura smiled, 'So that's the one he was talking about.'

"I love you to Yariatsi." Katsu whispered.

A couple of hours later

Nakamura sat next to Kurama who was faced down on the bed. His back had been bandaged and he couldn't lay on it, or else it would just get worse.

She sighed. "Kurama, what ever happened at the concert?" She asked, as she looked up at the ceiling.

"They canceled it. One of the violin players thought it was cool to poke people with his bow, so lots of people couldn't read their music." Kurama said,looking up at Nakamura.

Nakamura began to laugh. "Really?"

"Yea, but the dance still went on, the band played with the few people that didn't get poked." Kurama said laughing.

Nakamura laughed, and bent down to kiss him, but stopped midway. She jumped off the bed and ran into the bathroom, of Kurama's house. Kurama looked confused. A couple minutes later he heard the toilet flush and the bathroom door open.

"I'm never eating anything Kuwabara makes again." Nakamura yelled out, as she threw herself on Kurama's bed.

Kurama could feel his stomach feel queasy, he too jumped up and ran to the bathroom.

Nakamura smiled.

"Damn, that was Kuwabara's food? Why didn't you tell me?" Kurama yelled from the bathroom, as he flushed it and walked out of the bathroom.

"I didn't think it would make a difference." Nakamura said, as she watched Kurama lay down again.

"Well, now you know." Kurama said, as he closed his eyes.

"M-hm." Nakamura said, as she gave into sleep.

In the morning

RING RING!

Nakamura woke up from her deep slumber, and picked up the phone. "He- hello?" She asked, yawning.

"Hello? Nakamura?" A ladies voice asked.

"Yea, that's me, but how did-" Nakamura began to ask

"We called your friend Miss Yugasi? She told us we could contact you here."

"Okay. What do you want?"

"Well, we want to notify you. It seems that your mother wanted to pass some things on to you. The money in the bank,in her account, is also your all 330 thousand dollars. Oh yes, and the house she had brought before she moved on is now yours to keep. All you need to do is come to the bank, and we will transfer the money into your account and give you the house keys. That will be all." The lady said.

"Al..alright." Nakamura said, a bit shocked. "Thanks." was all the could manage to say before hanging up.

She looked over to the clock and it read 9 in the morning. She looked at a peacefully sleeping Kurama. She rested her head on his bare chest and sighed.

'Kurama...I want it to stay just like this. Forever. Peacefully and warm. Side by side. Perfect.' Nakamura thought.

"It can be Nakamura." Nakamura shot up from his chest, he spooked her.

"Kurama, don't tell me I said that out loud." Nakamura said, as she began to blush.

"No." Kurama said, as she layed her head back on his chest.

"Oh okay." she said, knowing that he had read her mind.

Kurama and Nakamura, spent most of their time talking about each other, to each other. Nakamura had learned a lot of things, as did Kurama. Nakamura was still not a person that was out there, she was still quiet and shy about her feelings. Well, sometimes it was easy to show her feelings. wink wink Kurama could tell her almost anything...just not SOME things...uh hum. COUGH! Yea, well anyways...most of their time they spent it like this just laying around in each other's arms, savoring in the moment, and love.

"Kurama..." Nakamura whispered.

"What?" Kurama said, as he nuzzled next to her.

"Doesn't it hurt to lay like that? With your back against the bed?" Nakamura asked.

"Yes, but I wanted you to stay by me, and the only way to do that is to get to lay you on my chest." Kurama said, knowing it.

Nakamura smiled. " Thanks, but I have to go somewhere. So turn around, I'm scared you might re open your wounds."

Kurama sighed, and did as told. "You know Nakamura, you can be so demanding." Kurama said, chuckling as he layed down.

Nakamura smiled, "Yea I know. But you still WUV ME!" with that Nakamura bent down and kissed his neck.
They both began to laugh.

Moments later she left to the bank. She went up to the service desk and asked the person there, "I'm here to pick up my mother's items she left me, I received a phone call from-"

The person cut her off pointing down a hall and stated, "You must be Nakamura, at the last door down the hall is were you're to meet your ownership holder." Nakamura nodded and walked down the hall curiously.

She slowly opened the door and in there were 3 business members. One of them held out their hand and stated happily, "Hi, I"m Mrs. Kamocalehlisteringahameh, You can just call me Mrs. Kam though. Nakamura nodded with her eyes a little wide from the long ass name she just stated and held out her hand as well and shook the women's. Mrs. Kam stated, "SO you're Nakamura?" Nakamura nodded.

"Any form of idea for us name?" Nakamura nodded and pulled out her driver's license. Mra. Kam laughed a little and shook her head, "No, I mean demonic recognition."

Nakamura raised an eyebrow, "You all know about that!" They nodded. Nakamura titled her head to the side, "Well, how exactly am I supposed to do that then?"

"A transformation into your demonic form is well enough of proof." They other women stated. Nakamura stated and transformed into her demon form. They observed her closely and then nodded in their approval, "It's her, her aura matched up on the radar." the others agreed. Mrs. Kam said, "Now, Nakamura, if you'd come this way with me."

Nakamura followed them a little confuse with curiosity of this whole process, she'd never done anything like this before.
They took her to a room that looked like a normal office. Once they shut the door, they locked it and then pressed a red bottom near by, just then the room transformed into a cave type like hallway.She followed the business people down the tunnel cave like featured place that had server al volts in it. Once they reached her volt, the one chick read, "Well you know how much money is in here and you have the house and such, what would you like to do with it all?"

Nakamura replied firmly, "I'd like to transfer all of the money into my account and have to ownership of the home." They all nodded. The other man who didn't really talk or move much pulled out a card and slid it down the slit in the wall. He did an eye scan, hand scan, and a voice scan. Slowly a mini room with a computer opened. The man sat down and quickly began typing as usually, like this was all normal. After about two minutes he stated, "The transformation is complete, but there is one more thing, she has one more even more valuable item she has on lock down security, do you wish to see it, it is rightfully yours..."

Nakamura stated, "Ummm...yea...I guess." The man did another scan on the wall in the mini room all over again and the wall slid open revealing a HUGE room with a glorious inside, for what was in it was unimaginable."

There was a huge statue carving of a kitsune...it was made of gold and silver. It looked an awful lot like her. It had two gold ears, and 9 gold tails. She had huge happy golden eyes, and long silver hair. She was wearing a silver and gold kimono. He gentle looking hands rested in front of her kimono with an opening in the middle. Right above her hands carved in her arms were the words..in japanese...BLUE and DIAMOND.

Nakamura awed at the statue and at the writing. 'Blue..diamond? Blue diamond? BLUE DIAMOND! MY BLUE DIAMOND!' Nakamura thought as she dug in her pockets.

She finally found it in her side pocket where she left in. She heaved a deep sigh happy that she didn't lose something with that much value. Slowly she walked up to the statue. She ran her fingers down it in awe. Slowly she inserted the diamond where it was supposed to go. The business people stared at her casually, but yet a little curious. Just then the diamond glowed a bight blue light. With out her doing so, Nakamura changed into her kitsune for. The statues eyes some how closed with a smile appearing on it's face. A glorious light filled around it. Slowly the golden tails started to wrap around Nakamura. Nakamura freaked, was this thing going to kill her?

Then her surroundings disappeared as she felt light as the blue glowing light of the diamond filled her surroundings. When she opened her eyes, she was in the most beatuiful peaceful looking place ever. Was she dead? In the distance a voice called her name, "Nakamura!" Nakamura whipped around to see who called her, and what she saw was almost impossible, she had to be dead, it...it was her...mother!

Nakamura stood there in shock. "Mo-...mom?" She asked, as tears welled up in her eyes.

Her mother walked up to her and hugged Nakamura. "My BABY!" She yelled, as tears fell from both of their eyes.

'Is this really real?' Nakamura thought as her mother broke the hug.

Her mother had exactly the same eyes as Nakamura...except her's were filled with joy, while Nakamura's weren't.
Nakamura looked up and down at her mother...she was really there.

"What's wrong sweety!" her mom asked.

"Nothing just...am I dead?" Nakamura asked curiously.

Her mother's face filled with love and happiness, "No Mura, you just took the portal one of your ancestors created through the statue! Of course you're not dead! But I finally get to see my baby fox again!" She hugged her daughter even tighter. Nakamura hugged her mom back as tears of joy slid down her cheeks.

After some time her mom finally pulled her back a little and asked, "So...he's a gentleman right?"

"Wait wha-?" Nakamura asked confused.

Her mom pointed towards her neck, "You have a mate now! Plus, I can smell him all over you. You're grandmother told me.You know, when you go to the river, I'm surprised you never called for me! I could've been able to visit you then..."

Nakamura just stared at her for a second and said quietly, "I...could have? I COULD HAVE! Damn, I feel so stupid..."
Her mom laughed a little, "No figures it out until they take the portal usually, but you never answered my question.."

"O yea! Kurama, yea, he's cute, red eyes green hair...in human form though, but yea, he's really sweet." Nakamura smiled with a slite blush.

Her mom stated, "I want to meet this boy some time! You should bring him through the portal with you! It's only right for him to meet your mom!"

Nakamura smiled and said, "Yea...I will sometime...just...seeing you is enough!" She hugged her mom again as a few more tears fell.

"Alright, come on. We have tons of things to catch up on!" her mother said, as she broke the hug and walked over to a rock, by a river.

At Kurama's

Hiei walked in through the window, hoping to find Nakamura, but instead found Kurama half naked sleeping peacefully. He walked over to Kurama, and noticed his bandaged back.

'What happened?' Hiei asked himself, as he sat on the windowsill. he would wait til the fox woke up, to ask him.

Half an Hour later.

Kurama's eyes opened revealing his sleepy emerald eyes. His eyes were met with a pair of crimson ones causing him to jump back.

"HIEI!" Kurama yelled, he hadn't expected Hiei.

"Fox." Was Hiei's response before sitting back on the windowsill.

Kurama's panting began to calm down. "What are you doing here?"

"I have come to see Nakamura, but she's not here. I couldn't leave you. I can sense demons nearby, and your weak. What happened?" Hiei asked. Hiei had been hanging around Yugasi an awful lot and Yugasi would sometimes even force him to talk, by...nevermind.

"I received my punishment, for taking Nakamura back with me." Kurama answered sitting on the edge of his bed.
He looked outside, and could see it was dark, and thunder could be heard. "What time is it?"

"It's only 7. Why?" Hiei asked.

"Are you sure Nakamura isn't back?" Kurama asked.

"If she was back, I would have sensed her." Hiei replied.

Kurama stood up and got a shirt from his closet.

"Where are you going fox?" Hiei asked.

"Out. I need to get somethings.Plus, Nakamura left in the morning, and she isn't back yet. I'm going to find her." Kurama answered.

Hiei jumped off the windowsill. "I'm going with you."

Before Kurama could object Hiei cut in.

"Your weak and other demons will take advantage of that." Hiei explained.

Kurama sighed and gave in, with that they headed out.

With Nakamura

Nakamura had bid her mother good bye awhile ago. They had talked about EVERYTHING...not one thing was skipped over. She could have possible skipped over, because she knew her mother was like her guardian angel, and could see eveything she did. After saying good bye to her mother, she order for the saute to be put in the new house. She had decided to move in, since she didn't want to be a burden in Kurama's house, especially not when his mother returned. Now, nakamura was walking back home, with the hoodie over her head, for it was raining.

'Man, Why didn't I bring the car. It would have been better.' Nakamura said, as she walked through an alley, for a short cut.

As thunder rang in the air, Nakamura jumped. 'Damn, this shit is a thunderstorm!' Was the only thing that ran through her mind.
