Oh and this chapter has some spoilers and mentions of sex so skip over those parts if ya don't wanna read them okay? Enjoy and thanks for reading and reviewing!

"So did you find them?" Yomi asked as he felt Kameda walk into the room.

"They were both at the Healing Lake just as you said Yomi-sama," Kameda replied as he bowed.

"And what were they doing?"

"Standing next to each other. Sir it looked as if they were going to kiss."

"Just as I thought." Yomi smiled. "Leave them be just make sure that they're both in before the next little thunderstorm."

"Yes." Kameda bowed as he slowly stepped out of the room.

"Everything's falling into plan Kurama," Yomi said as he looked outside of his window. "Let's just see what you'll do."

Kurama gently stepped away from Mikai, causing the water around him to ripple. He looked gently into Mikai's eyes as a small white mist covered his body, rising above it. Mikai watched as in a few minutes, the mist dissipated, and there stood Youko Kurama.

His sliver hair was moving gently in the air, the light breeze that there was. Shuuichi's gentle green eyes were now gone and replaced by cold emotionless eyes, which were looking directly at Mikai. He walked over to Mikai, moving the water much more then Shuuichi did.

"Give me the ball," Youko said. Mikai did as told and looked back up at him. He was so much taller then her. Him being seven feet tall and she only being five three.

Mikai gathered Spirit Energy within her hands and looked up at Youko. "Put your hands out." Youko did as told. "Place some of your energy in your hands."

"How much?"

"You'll know." Mikai closed her eyes.

As the two gathered their power to their hands, the blue ball began to float a bit. A small, white light grew around it, and it began to open, showing small liquid inside.

"That's it!" Mikai said. "More!"

The two pushed as much as they could, while the waters around them flowed into their bodies their energy was replenished, and they pushed out more into their hands.

Both of their bodies were growing tired, after pushing for ten minutes, got getting very far. Mikai grew a bit irritated, while Youko remained cool and calm. Then, all of a sudden, the ball broke open; it's liquid spilling everywhere, and all slipping itself into Mikai's mouth.

"Damn." Mikai choked as she held her throat. She felt the liquid burn her throat as it traveled down, leaving it's bitter taste in her mouth. She felt it all hit her stomach and splash around violently. But suddenly, everything became black, and nothing was left, but darkness.

"Mikai?" Youko asked as he bent over to her. He watched as her body began to fall into the water. His reaction was quick; reaching down to grab her before she hit the water. "Mikai?" he asked as he shook her body.

The memory stress must be getting to her. Youko thought as he walked back to the bank of the lake and laid her down. He sat down next to her, hoping she would awaken soon with answers.

Youko's cold eyes looked down at Mikai in wonder. Why Kurama liked her so much was beyond him even though she did tend to look like Senkai once in awhile. He saw a small piece of her brown hair in her face. It was getting rather annoying so he reached down and moved it out of the way. The minute he touched her, darkness covered his mind, as he saw everything that Mikai was now viewing.

oooooo

Youko Kurama was walking in front of a small pack of bandits, each dressed like him. They seemed to be on their way somewhere as Senkai stayed close to Yomi.

"Yomi," Youko Kurama said as he stopped. "I want you to move out and attack that village." Youko pointed to a small village below with a few other demons running around it stupidly.

"Why?" Yomi asked as he stepped forward. "There's nothing down there worth having."

"Don't ask just go. Our small troupe needs food," Youko Kurama hissed back.

Yomi and his small group including Senkai began to run down the small hill they were on which overlooked the village, towards the nearest hut.

"Senkai," Youko called.

"Yes sir?" she asked as she turned around.

"Be careful." Youko closed his eyes. "The rest of us will be back here, waiting."

"Yes sir!" Senkai said as she turned around and then followed the rest of her group, behind Yomi.

"Yomi!" Senkai whispered as she caught up to her leader. "We'd better sneak in and find the food first."

"No let's just go," Yomi said as he looked around, watching the villagers.

"But Yomi, what if they take the food?" Senkai whispered a bit harder now trying to convince her fiancée what to do.

"Don't start acting like Youko," Yomi hissed not really paying too much attention to Senkai, but rather watching the villagers walked by, planning his attack. "Now!"

Senkai watched as Yomi spring out from the bush, and began to chop down villagers. Senkai started out late, but soon joined everyone else as she searched for a food source. She ran by a small hut in the middle of the town and spotted food in it.

That's it! She thought as she ran to it only to have a demon jump out in front of her.

Damn!

Senkai jumped backwards as the demon slashed his katana at her, just barely cutting the ends off of her hair. She stood up quickly and dodged more of the demon's attacks until one landed right in her right side.

"Crap," she muttered as she fell over, holding her bleeding side. She looked up to see the demon lifting his katana above his head.

Shit. Senkai thought as she watched it come down, timed it, and rolled to the side the pain shooting up her sides. She got to her feet and looked around. She couldn't fight the demon, Yomi was nowhere in sight, and she couldn't go back to the group because it would give away their position.

Senkai kneeled onto the floor as she watched the demon come near her. She touched it, spreading her fingers on the dirt floor gently. She pushed her Spirit energy down into the ground and yelled, "Earth Spirit Rise!"

The demon watched as the ground around him rose up, one spike of dirt pierced his body, going through his chest, killing him. Spikes of Earth rose up around everywhere, killing demons the rest of her troupe were fighting.

"There," she said breathlessly. "H-Hurry up.." Senkai's wounded body then fell onto the floor beneath her and crimson red blood fell out of her side, staining the dirt beneath her.

Senkai awoke to the smell of burning meat. Her nose twitched as she sat up, not feeling any pain from her wounds. She looked down to see that they were all healed and patched up. She stood up and walked over to the fire which all of her comrades were sitting next to.

"Hey look weaklings up," one of them said with a laugh.

"Screw off." Senkai sat down near the fire. She looked around for her share of food and saw nothing. She glared back up at everyone.

"Sorry!" another one said. "Thought you wouldn't be awake enough to eat."

Senkai stood up and walked away from the fire. She had so many questions running through her mind. She felt hatred in her heart, but attachment in her mind. Ideas ran through her head, telling her to go but to stay because she had nowhere else to go.

She walked over to a small cliff that was overlooking an empty plain. The area they were in was now dark, night perhaps, or maybe just another storm. Senkai sat down at the edge of the cliff, closed her eyes, and sighed. She felt something heavy fall into her lap and her eyes flew open. It was a small red ball.

"It's a moonlight apple," Youko Kurama's voice said form beside Senkai. "The nutritions in it will keep you full for a week."

"Thanks." Senkai sighed once more as she bit into it. "And thanks for healing me."

"Did you learn your lesson?"

"From now on it's me and me only. No one else is going to fight for me." Senkai looked up at Youko Kurama, only to now see him behind her. She titled her head backward to look at him. "I want something else Youko. Not this."

Youko Kurama walked over to the small kitsune, bent down, and gently locked his lips with hers. Senkai's eyes widened a bit at first, but then closed as she too fell into her leader's kiss.

"I don't know how you put up with her Yomi," one of Youko's generals said as he poked the fire with a stick, hoping to revive it. "She's such a little baby sometimes."

"But can you blame her? I mean first off she's a woman, and she's only a few years old. I mean no second tail?" Another one laughed.

"Senkai has her reasons for being here," Yomi said as he took a bite of bread that he had found.

"And what are those reasons?" a general sitting to Yomi's left said as he hit Yomi in his side as he rose his eyebrows.

"Not yet." Yomi smiled. "When the time comes."

"If it does." Another laughed out loud.

"Trust me," Youko Kurama said as he laced his fingers with Senkai's. "Everything will work out, nothing will go wrong."

Senkai was beneath Youko, he was being as careful as he could so as not to crush her under his weight. Youko began to kiss Senkai's neck gently, as she blushed heavily.

"Promise?" Senkai said as she grit her teeth to stop a groan from escaping her mouth.

"I promise," Youko Kurama said as his mouth traveled back up to hers and their lips locked. He pulled his mouth away after a quick kiss, then went back to attending to her neck.

Could she really do this and break her promise that she had made to Yomi the night that they became engaged? Was Youko Kurama worth everything that she had to lose? What did she have to lose anyway? Was all of this fair? Was she going to give into the feelings and the hormones that were running through her right then, telling her to go for it? Was Youko in this just to get with her, or to acutely tell her something that he had been hiding for a long time now?

"Don't," Senkai said as she gave into her mind battle that she had been having for the past few seconds. "I…I can't," she confessed.

"Why not?" Youko asked as he sat back up a bit so he could look into her eyes.

Senkai looked away and moved her fingers a bit. Youko then saw what she met when his ring finger hit hers only to feel a small metal object. Moved his hand a bit more, slipping the ring off.

"No." Senkai sat up. "I can't."

"Do you love him?" Youko Kurama asked as he backed off a bit from the younger kitsune.

"I don't know." Senkai sighed.

Youko Kurama reached over to the small ring, picked it up and gave it back to her. "A ring doesn't mean anything unless you love him." Youko then stood up and held his hand out to Senkai. She took it, and stood up.

"Something's going to happen soon," Youko confided. "When it does, promise to come with me no matter what."

Senkai thought about it for a second and figured that if anything bad did happen, it would be best for her to be with Youko. Maybe it was the only way that she would be able to live for a while or until she perfected her thieving skills.

"I promise."

"Yomi," Senkai groaned as she felt her back form a spot on a small bed that her and Yomi had always shared. She felt her lips lock with his once more as Yomi grabbed her legs and wrapped them around him.

"Yomi, I-I," Senkai began before Yomi's lips cut her off once more.

"What's wrong?" Yomi asked as he pulled his mouth away and looked down at her.

"I don't know if I can do this," Senkai confessed as she looked to the side.

"You have to," Yomi said as he began to kiss Senkai's neck. "You do belong to me after all."

Senkai closed her eyes, letting Yomi do whatever he wanted. With every touch, she thought of Youko Kurama. She now hated herself for pushing Youko away the other night. More then ever she wanted him right now. Her emotions were now getting the better of her, telling her to do this with Yomi because she was supposed to and he was going to help her and Seme one day. Other emotions told her that he wasn't worth it and he didn't deserve her. As everything ran through her, only one set of words ran through her head.

"Please stop," Senkai mumbled.

"What?" Yomi asked as he slipped his shirt off and looked down at the kitsune.

"I can't do this," Senkai admitted as she looked away.

Yomi placed his arms near Senkai's head and looked down at her, straight into her blue eyes.

"Remember who you belong to," he hissed as he went back to kissing Senkai's neck.

"Don't," Senkai hissed as she tried to push Yomi away only to feel him grab her wrists and hold them down. "Don't…," Senkai whispered knowing no one would come to help her. Youko Kurama was out for the night on a midnight thieving run, he wouldn't be back for two more days.

Through out the night, sounds were heard coming from the little hut that hid Yomi and Senkai, but no one thought it as anything. They figured that's what lovers do right? So no one came in, or even checked on the female kitsune the next morning when she was nowhere to be found. Not even at mealtimes, was she seen.

"Ready?" Youko Kurama asked Senkai as they stood near the castle were Yomi was soon to "lose his light" as he would put it. They looked on, knowing fully what would be happening in there soon, but the both of them had no regrets.

"Ready," Senkai said coldly as she looked at the castle.

"Let's go." Youko turned his back the castle, and began to run with Senkai trailing right behind him.

oooooooo

Kurama opened his eyes, back on the bank of the lake with Mikai resting next to him. He shook his head, trying to remember every little thing that had just happened.

What could have been so important? Kurama thought. Senkai. Is she Yomi's true weakness? Yes...maybe.

Mikai sat up shaking her head back and forth. She rubbed her head a bit until she looked back at Kurama.

"Did you get all of that?" Mikai asked playfully as she looked at the red head.

"Somewhat." Kurama smiled.

"It was about three hundred years after that, that Senkai was killed. Then Youko right?" Mikai asked, hoping it didn't bother Kurama to ask that.

"I believe so," Kurama said while he tried to figure everything out. Then, the promise he had made Yomi filled his head once more. He stood up and looked at Mikai.

"Mikai, I have to go to the Ningenkai."

"Why?" Mikai asked standing up quickly. "Are you really leaving me?"

"I have to go and recruit people form the Dark Tournament to be on Yomi's army. I'll be gone for a while but I promise that I'll be back," Kurama said as he walked over to her and grabbed her hands.

"You promise?" Mikai asked as she blushed.

"Promise." Kurama's grip on Mikai's hand increased a bit. He hoped that he would be able to come back, and save all three worlds, his family, his friends, and Mikai.

R&R please!
