Chapter 12 (I hope you like this chapter...don't own yuyu gang...andathank youto Baka Hanyou Rahvin. Pixie)
The next time I woke up I saw a sleeping form beside me. I saw in the light of the moon that it was Kurama. I heard the door open, and looked towards it still lying down. "So you're up." I tried to sit up, but again a sharp pain ran through me, but this time I held the scream in. "Stay still...I don't want to have to stitch you up again." I smirked, but stayed still. "Shadow...how long was I out this time?" I asked him. "A few hours. Oh and your birthday we will be celebrating since you missed it."
I gasped, "What happened on my birthday...nothing disappeared, or anything right!" Shadow snickered, "No Blaze (The monster blaze not the dead dude.) didn't come, but something did happen." I gasped, and was about to sit up again when I heard Kurama stir. Shadow walked over to the right side of my bed, and took a seat beside me. He pulled out a mirror, and showed me what happened on my birthday. "You changed...your hair, almost everything changed besides your skin, and eyes." I smiled, "Can you take me to the bathroom so I can see?"
"But can't you with this?" I shook my head, "I won't to see everything...if everything changed." He nodded, and stood up. "You won't kill me for picking you up this time will you?" Shadow said smirking. "Don't start Shadow." He nodded, and picked me up.
He carried me to the bathroom, and turned the light on. I gasped at the site. My long white hair had turned black, and the black streaks that had been in them turned white. My nails were pearly white with black tips now, and my lips were red now. My skin had changed but not very noticeable. It was a little whiter then silver this time, but as I said not very noticeable. But my eyes...the colors were still the same, but it was like the colors jumped to the opposite eye. My left eye had been the silver, and my right had been the gold. But now it was the opposite.
"I love it...everything has changed." Shadow was a bit confused but didn't say anything. He took me back to my room, and laid me down. "Now get some rest...you should be better in the morning." Shadow started to walk away, but I called to him.
"Shadow...will you turn the music on?" He looked at me, and nodded, "Of course." He walked over and turned my CD player on. M2M was still in so I got to hear what I wanted. "Thank you Shadow." He smiled and walked out of my room. The music was softer then before but then again this was a depressing song.
It was called Mirror Mirror.
"Mirror mirror lie to me
Show me what I wanna see
Mirror mirror lie to me
Why don't I like the girl I see?
The one who's standing right in front of me
Why don't I think before I speak?
I should have listened to that voice inside me
I must be stupid, must be crazy, must be out of my mind
To say the kind of things I said last night
Mirror mirror hanging on the wall
You don't have to tell me who's the biggest fool of all
Mirror mirror I wish you could lie to me
And bring my baby back; bring my baby back to me
Mirror mirror lie to me
Show me what I wanna see
Mirror mirror lie to me
Show me what I wanna see
Why did I let you walk away?
When all I had to do was say I'm sorry
I let my pride get in the way
And in the heat of the moment I was to blame
I must be stupid, must be crazy, must be out of my mind
Now in the cold light of the day I realize
Mirror mirror hanging on the wall
You don't have to tell me who's the biggest fool of all
Mirror mirror I wish you could lie to me
And bring my baby back; bring my baby back to me
If only wishes could be dreams
And all my dreams could come true
There would be two us standing here in front of you
If you could show me that someone that I used to be
Bring back my baby, my baby to me
Mirror mirror hanging on the wall
You don't have to tell me who's the biggest fool of all
Mirror mirror I wish you could lie to me
And bring my baby back; bring my baby back to me
Mirror mirror hanging on the wall
You don't have to tell me who's the biggest fool of all
Mirror mirror I wish you could lie to me
And bring my baby back; bring my baby back to me
Mirror mirror lie to me
Show me what I wanna see
Mirror mirror lie to me
Mirror mirror lie to me
Show me what I wanna see
Mirror mirror lie to me" I smiled as a tear trailed down my face...just one signal tear as I drifted off to sleep.
It felt like I had just slept a few minutes, but I knew it was longer. The sun blinded me as I opened my eyes. I shielded my eyes, and blinked to get my eyes to adjust. "You're awake." I looked to see Kurama in his chair from last night. I gave a sheepish smile.
"You should've stayed in bed last night." I looked away from his eyes. "I didn't want to...I wanted to listen to music, and watch the stars." I said softly. "You just worried us." I looked down at my hands, "I'm sorry."
I felt him wrap his arms around, and looked up at him. "It's okay...just next time like I said holler." I nodded smiling. My heart fluttered, and my blood boiled reaching my face. I was blushing and I knew it. I was in his arms, he was shirtless. I was wearing a tank top, and my flesh was brushing against his. He noticed as I looked away. I gazed out the window to see a clear day. "Beautiful isn't it?" I asked him. "Yes...just as you are." That caused me to blush more.
There was a knock on my door. MY gaze was jerked towards it at the sudden sound. "Yes?" I asked. "If you're hungry breakfast is done." Paige said slightly opening the door. "Are you blushing?" She asked a smile forming going from ear to ear. "I'll be right down." I said trying to change the subject. "Okay...you blush too much." I glared at her, and she ran.
Kurama led my gaze to his. I shuddered at such a gentle touch. "Don't listen to her...you're beautiful even if you blush." I rolled my eyes to look away, but he made my gaze stay connected to his as he leaned in to kiss me. I gave into the kiss and kissed back. But my door was still open from the little visit from Paige, and I could hear some awes and howls and who knows what else.
I jerked away, and looked at the door to see almost every one there. I jumped out of Kurama's grasp, and ran to the bathroom. I locked the door behind me embarrassed with what just happened. I heard a few sighs, and the guys and girls leaving. There was a knock on my door, "I'm going down stairs if you need me."
"Okay." I then heard my door shut, and I turned my back to the door. I slumped down to the floor, and sighed touching my lips gently smiling. This kiss was different from the others for some reason. I blushed at the though of that, and because of the way people had been watching. I waited there for a couple of minutes then stood and walked into my room. I walked over to my dresser, and picked out the one shirt dark blue shirt with a care bear on it, saying I needed a hug.
I also picked out a pair of loose but tight jeans. I put them on, and walked out of my room. I walked down the hallways, and to the living room area. "How do you feel?" Shadow asked me from his seat on the couch. "Pretty good...few pains, but I should be okay."
I stated. I turned my back for a moment to be ambushed by four arms being wrapped around me. I turned to see Paine and Paige hugging me. "What are you doing!" I asked. "Your shirt says you need a hug." They said in unison letting go of me smiling. "Okay...I'm going to eat, and I don't want no hugs then okay?" They nodded, and took a seat. I walked in to see Kurama reading his book at the table.
"What book is that?" I asked taking a seat where my plate was. "Just a book from school." I rolled my eyes. "Whatever." I was about to take a bite as Kurama got up, but I then felt his arms wrap around me. I blushed at this, but still laughed. "Let me guess you read the shirt and decided to give me a hug?"
"No I just wanted to." I held in a laugh as he let go of me.
I began to eat, and decided today there was going to be no training. Kurama had been right I have a life too, and I need to have a break. I finished and cleaned my plate. "So when do we train Phoenix?" Paige asked me as I dried my plate and put it away. "We aren't."
"Okay I'll tell...What!" I smiled and looked down at the sink. "We aren't...not today." I said smiling. "Why not!" I looked up at her. "If you could fight Amaya off a couple days ago, and me not be there you deserve a day off, and because I have a life too. I need a day to myself." She smiled and nodded, "Thanks." I gave a signal nod, and walked away. I went to my room, and turned the music off. I walked over to the window, and opened it.
"So you are going to take a day off?" I turned to see Kurama there smiling. "Yes...you were right I have a life too." I looked back out the window taking in the fresh scent of nature. "It isn't so bad now is it?" Kurama asked wrapping his arms around me holding me to him.
"No...I actually needed it." I said turning to face Kurama. I looked up at him from in his arms. TO be at peace with myself and nature. I thought calmly smiling at Kurama. I hugged him, and didn't want to leave his arms. "Kurama...thank you." He petted my hair gently. "For what?"
"For everything." I said softly. "You're welcome Phoenix." I had a small smile on my face. "Kurama..."
"Yes?" I sighed, "I...I've chosen." I said softly. I felt him take in a great deal of air. "Who?" I knew he was holding his breath as he awaited my answer. "You." I whispered. I heard him sigh letting out that held breath out. "Are you sure that's what you want?" He asked not wanting me to say no...Begging me by the sound of his voice not to say no.
"No reason for you to ask that...of course I'm sure." I heard him sigh again happily. "Phoenix...I love you." I smirked pulling back just a little to be able to see into his eyes. "I love you too." He leaned down and kissed me. I enjoyed it...so gentle so loving it was. He moved down towards where my neck meets and connects to my shoulder. "This may hurt." He said before gently kissing the place. "It can't hurt too much not like other things I've been through." I said softly. I sighed before he bit into my flesh. Once he finished he came back to my lips and gave me such a gentle kiss. When he pulled back I gave a small smile.
"Go and have your break." I shook my head, "Not with out you...I want you to come with me." I said gently.
