Field of Promises

Krystal Fox: Here we go again and now to get on my best friend's wrath once again. (Hope you like the poem)

I do not own any of Yu Yu Hakusho at all.

Chapter 13 Home?
Light looked about the land, her friends home once again. They had arrived and right now her friends parents were quizzing Kurone to pieces about his intentions with their daughter and almost anything you would ever ask a question.

She sat on the porch swing and thought about Youko. He didn't want her after all. Once he found out she was the leader of the worst and most cruelest group he abandoned her. Surely that is not what love is about?

"I will never let another get close to me like Youko again." she promised herself.

Smiling Dark came walking back from the house with Kurone.

"Did he survive their questions?" Light asked a smirk on her face.

Dark looked up at Kurone trying to decide. "Um," seeing Kurone's shocked look said, "I think he will live. My parents approve of him, same as my brother, uncles, cousins and adopted brothers." Sighing she pulled Kurone down to the seat beside Light and

Said, "Tomorrow I get that job at the college for the science apprentice for my future in the science lab, and Kurone will be working with the weapons instructors at the air force and army base." Dark sighed leaning into Kurone's shoulder.

"but I do think that you should think up a different name for Kurone because most people think that name strange." Light commented as they watched the sun starting to sink.

"Yes, we thought of that and Light let me introduce to you Kenneth Carson, a retired soldier from overseas that has come to know me and we are dating." Dark said with a flair.

Light laughed but it soon droned out and then silence filled the air, they sat listening to the gentle breeze of the air and birds singing.

(4 months later)

Light stood on a stage at a college graduation where she was receiving high honors for language comprehension and the translating of over 10 languages and teaching of them while in her student years.

"And ladies and gentlemen the highest honor in this college goes to a young lady who has come so far in her years that at 19 years of age she is graduating this college and going into the world where she is going to be a translator for the United Nations and other countries. She goes forth and is going to also start an assoiciation of friends who will set out to help those who have had heart break and the like to help them heal also for those who have suffered heart break over the loss of a loved one or friend…Goes to Miss Light MornStar." The president of the college called into the mike.

Light smiled and stood and received her certificate.

After the ceremony Kurone and Dark caught up to her on her way to her motocycle.

"Hey Light wait up!" Dark ran towards her Kurone following at a leisurely pace.

"Oh I am so happy for you my friend. This is what you have always wanted! Now it is your dream come true. Would you meet us at the Chinese restaurant, we would like to spend an evening with you."

Light nodded giving her friend a hug and a kiss on the forehead, then giving Kurone a hug waved at them and took off. Her blond hair flowing behind her as she speeded off.

"We're going to have to tell her tonight dark, she needs to know." Kurone said stepping behind her and hugging her.

Dark looked up at Kurone, "Yes, I know, but will she handle it well, or will she fly off the handle. You know as well as I do over the past few months of her temper. It is a volcano waiting to erupt."

"We will have to break it to her as gently as possible."

Later that evening:

Light was enjoying herself quite immensely, her friends had treated her to a wonderful Chinese dinner. All of her favorites were there. As the evening progressed Dark and Kurone became quieter.

"Alright you two what is the matter with you!" Light demanded, "All this evening you two have spoken less and less. Is something the matter? Did something happen?" Light asked slightly concerned.

Dark sighed. "Light, last week Kurone went back to Makia to see how things are moving and the like, and found that Youko had fought Tortugar like we had agreed and did win but his brother Raizen tried to kill Youko, nearly succeeding." She paused as she watched Light's color drain from her face.

"and well Kurone found out the wounds which Youko obtained had a poison in them, this poison forced Youko into his fox form and has forced him to stay in it. He can't move out or change forms and because he is in it so long has slowly become more like a fox than a youko."

Light leaned back in her chair. "Youko…fox" she barely whispered.

"Light, I am asking you as his best friend that you would help him." Kurone said a pleading in his voice.

"How can I help him?" Light asked warily.

"I cornered Raizen and got out of him that the poison that was injected into Youko can be reversed but only by love and care." He said starting to blush.

"And why can't you two do this?" She asked curiously to why Kurone was blushing.

"Because we are engaged." Dark said softly.

"Oh! CONGRATULATIONS! She said loudly. "I am so happy for your." Looking down at her hands, "But that would mean that I have to care for Youko."

"Yes." dark said hopefully.

"I suppose it wouldn't hurt." She said looking up. "Alright I will."

Flashback: Makia the fight and transformation.

Youko was furious, how could he push her away like that when he knew that she loved him and he loved her? Now he was fighting Tortugar with such ferious strength that He didn't even have a chance, before Tortugar had even lifted his second blade his head was disconnected from his body.

Panting Youko turned to leave only to have a net thrown over him.

"Aha, I have caught the great Youko Kurama." Raizen said stepping from the shadows.

Then looking at his brother's dead body said, "what a shame, but he was a worthless (VERY LOUD BLEEP) of a brother. So now I think I will keep you as my pet Youko."

Youko growled. Struggling in the net to get free, he was not going to be anyone's pet.

"Oh not that kind of pet, I mean an actual pet like a dog and it being obedient. I have something to fix this." Pulling out a large needle that was in a bag injected it into Youko's thigh. Youko winced then felt himself changing, he didn't like this, not one bit. Looking at his hands…no they were paws, found he was his fox form and smaller thus can get through holes better. Went running, Raizen cursed and sent soldiers after him.

Youko ran along and desparately tried to change forms but no matter how hard he tried he couldn't change. Meanwhile a bat was flying above him keeping the little silver fox in sight.

End of Flash back: Back in the Chinese restaurant's parking lot.

Dark motioned for Light to come over, motioning to her pointed to the window. There curled up on one of the seats was the most beautiful silver foxes you ever saw trying very hard to get in a ever so shrinking size ball. Light immediately felt sad for Youko.

Reaching in the window picked the fox up, at first it struggled but then seemed to catch her scent and calmed down, looking into the foxes eyes saw the beautiful golden eyes of Youko looking so sad. The fox leaned forward and licked her nose. Then in her arms curled up and promptly fell asleep.

Looking back at Dark and Kurone, smiled then said, "Yes I will take him, and keep him."

Krystal Fox: What do you think should happen next I have an idea but it needs work. Tell me what you think should happen.
