Hey. I'm back again. I don't think I will be able to update next weekend, but I'll try. I hope you all like the story so far.
"Are you having a nervous breakdown? You never go on like that." Draco asked.
I really don't like my next week. There's too much going on at one time.
"Just get on to the reviews." Draco said.
Dra Gan the Dragoniodian King: T'anks. I like to be strange and surprising.
psycogirl234: Thank you. You like short messages, don't you? I like to talk.
Yuki Amida: I will. I haven't seen your name in a while. Where have you been?
Well, I got three reviews. Here's the story.
Last time on CS: The SDs get a mission to protect the portal Yusuke fought Sensui at. Crystal comes to the sight later, with Yukina and Shiara. We discover Crystal has some sort of power.
"Koenma!" Yusuke yelled when they got back. "You have some explaining to do!"
"What is it, Yusuke?" Koenma asked tiredly.
"You told us we had to go get Crystal. You didn't say she had powers!" Yusuke yelled.
"Stop yelling. Crystal is one of the few remaining magicians in the world. Demons generally kill them for their powers." Koenma explained.
"Where did I get these powers from?" Crystal asked quietly.
"That's just it. We don't know. Your parents weren't magicians. The only other magician we have here is Shiara." Koenma said.
"Did you know all this?" Crystal asked, turning to Shiara.
"Yeah. He made me promise not to tell." Shiara said, waving a hand at Koenma.
"That's just not fair!" Crystal yelled. She stomped out of the room.
Kurama found her in her room, packing a suitcase. "Where are you going?" he asked.
"Home. I don't belong here. I don't belong anywhere." Crystal said.
"Chryssie. You do belong. You just have to find out where." Kurama said. He went and put his arms around her waist.
"Don't call me Chryssie. I'm different than everyone. You and Hiei are demons and everyone else is human. I don't fit in." Crystal said.
"Chrys, don't say that. Anyone can fit in. I fit in." Kurama said.
"You are one of the sexiest men in Japan. Of course you fit in. I am a magician. No one even knows how I got my powers!" She laid her head on Kurama's shoulder and started to cry.
"I'm only going to say this once. It doesn't matter who you are, just what you do with yourself." Kurama said. "You have the potential to be great."
"How do you know?" Crystal asked angrily, dashing her tears away. "All I have done so far is get Youko riled up."
"I know because now I can sense the power within you. You have enough power to combine the three worlds." Kurama said.
"What am I going to do with all that power!" Crystal screeched. "I can barely keep myself alive!"
'Youko, what do I do? She's getting more anxious by the minute?' Kurama thought anxiously.
"Kiss her." Youko said, as if it were the most obvious thing in the world.
So Kurama did. He kissed Crystal. She stiffened with surprise, then went limp. Kurama pushed her onto the bed and continued kissing her.
"You know, Crystal, you should really close your door all the way while doing that." said Shiara from the doorway.
Kurama jumped and got up. "Shiara, hello." He said.
"Relax. I don't have my camera. No blackmail. Today." Shiara's eyes glinted with plans.
Crystal still hadn't moved. Shiara came over and poked her. She poked again. And again. "Well, Kurama, you put her in shock."
"I'm sorry." Kurama said.
"She'll be out of it for a while. Let me know when she wakes up." Shiara left, closing the door behind her.
Kurama put the suitcase on the floor and moved Crystal into a more comfortable position. He then sat next to her, playing with her hair while thinking.
Crystal slid from shock to a full resting state. Kurama fell asleep next to her.
Crystal woke up the next morning fully rested. She lay there for a while, until she realized an arm was around her waist. Nervous, she looked behind her and saw Kurama. She relaxed and curled up closer to him. She felt safe in his arms; safer than she had felt in a long time.
Crystal twined her hand in his and went back to sleep. The sun wasn't completely up yet. She wouldn't be expected for a while.
Kurama woke up with Crystal still in his arms. He smiled when he saw their hands entwined. Did this mean she was done living in the past? Kurama hoped so.
Crystal felt his eyes on her and stirred. She woke up to see Kurama still there. He quickly got up.
"I'll see you later." He said. He walked to the door.
"Kurama, wait." Crystal said. She came up and kissed him. When she pulled away, his knees felt weak. "We're still not even. You've gotten me four times. I've only kissed you once. I'm keeping count." She smiled and he left.
I hope you liked it. Please read and review. Walks out, followed by a mob of people who hate her story with Draco holding them back in his large from.
