Chapter 2: The Fields
Kurama grew up the only child in the Youko village. At age 6, he started working with his mother in the Fields. The Fields were where the Youkos grew deadly Makai plants. Kurama and his mother worked all day in the sweltering Fields. Kurama watched as his mother tore through the dirt, and planted the Makai seeds. Kurama did the same. He loved his mother, but he wasn't sure if she loved him back. Maybe he'd never know.
One morning, Kurama awoke to find his mother was gone. She would never go to the Fields without him. Where did she go? Kurama looked around the whole village. He asked everyone he saw. Kurama started to get worried. There was only one place left to check. The Fields.
Kiera warned Kurama not to go into the Fields alone, because of the Makai plants' deadly fumes. Only Kiera's magic could protect them from the fumes. But, Kurama had to search the Fields for his mother.
When Kurama entered the Fields, he suddenly felt very weak. The effects of the Makai plants. Kurama walked through the Fields, and continued to get weaker. He had to go on. He traveled deeper into the Fields, and the world began to spin. Everything was so strange. The ground seemed to disappear. Kurama was floating. He couldn't hold on any longer. He lost his consciousness, and fell into a deep sleep.
Kurama saw his mother standing in the fields. He ran towards her, and called out to her. "Mother!" Kiera turned around, her beautiful eyes glittering at the sight of her son. Kurama smiled. He ran into her arms, and felt at peace. He looked up, and saw a horrible sight. A tree was staring back at him. The arms of his mother became the branches of the tree. The branches were squeezing him tight, but he felt so peaceful. What was wrong. He still felt the tree was his mother. The branches tightened even more, and he started to cry. He loved his mother. He fell asleep in his "mother's" arms.
