I'd like to thank Ania the Dragonwolf for her tips. I always like to hear other's opinion.
Onto chapter 2!
Kurome walked about a city block till she got to the local drug store. She went inside and started scanning the aisles for some gauze. She found some and grabbed them. She turned to go checkout when she noticed a tall girl with long dirty-blonde hair. She crept up on the girl and then slightly pushed her.
The girl turned around, "Did I scare you?" Kurome asked while grinning.
"Of course not, you can never scare me." Meghan replied.
"That's because you stink." Kurome pouted.
Meghan smiled, "Well what's that for?" She asked.
"So curious." Kurome scolded.
"Well I do get it from you." Meghan replied.
Kurome stuck her tounge out. "I was wondering if I'm dreaming." Kurome told Meghan.
"Well I doubt it because then I would have to be dreaming too. And the telemarketers are still bugging me, so then it'd have to be a nightmare." Meghan sighed.
"Well are you going to answer me?" Meghan added.
Kurome sighed, "I found someone on my lawn and they're bleeding badly so I'm taking care of them." Kurome explained.
Meghan gave her a scolding look, "It doesn't sound like you to just take someone in like that. You do know it's not safe either."
Kurome walked up to Meghan and whispered in her ear, "But the crazy thing is that it's Kurama." She whispered.
Then Kurome stepped back, "You may think I'm crazy, and I think I've lost it myself. It's ok if you don't believe me." she continued.
" I do believe you because we've been through a lot together, and I trust you." Meghan replied. (That's her actual response when asked her what she would say to me if I told her I found Kurama on my lawn.)
Kurome smiled and Meghan added, "Well you better get back."
Kurome nodded then waved, "See ya later."
Meghan waved back. Then Kurome went and checked out. She hurried back and climbed back through her window.
"I'm back." she announced.
She looked over towards Kurama who was asleep.
Kurome smiled, 'He looks so peaceful.' She thought to herself.
She set her bag and the gauze on her dresser then climbed back out the window and went around to the front door. She went towards the kitchen and grabbed a pot. She fixed herself some mac-and-cheese. She sat down at the dining table and ate some. After she was done she filled her bowl with water and set it in the sink. She went outside and back to her room. Kurama was still asleep, so Kurome blew all the candles out and fell asleep in a large pile of blankets on the floor.
In the morning she awoke abbruptly when she heard the sound of glass breaking.
She looked around to see Kurama sitting up looking around for the cause of the sound. Kurome closed her eyes and sighed when her mind registured that it wasn't from her room. She heard cursing and figured out it was her father dropping a whiskey bottle on the wodden kitchen floor.
"It's just my father, I'm sorry he woke you." Kurome appologized to Kurama.
Kurama shook his head, "You don't have to appologize about it." he assured her.
Kurome closed her eyes and layed back down in the heap of blankets.
"Is that where you slept?" Kurama's voice asked.
"Uh huh, why?" Kurome replied.
"A young lady shouldn't have to sleep on the floor." Kurama told her.
"Well first of all, it's very comfy here. Also I'm not a young lady because I don't go around wearing skirts and dress in cute pink dressed with bows all over them." Kurome told him.
Kurama chuckled, "Well even if you claim that you're not a young lady, you still are in my eyes, I would perfer you to not have to sleep in the floor from now on."
"Well you're making a lot of demands for being the guest, and for you being in the condition that you're in." Kurome stated and stuck her tounge out at Kurama, who sighed.
Kurama laid back down in the bed and tried to fall back asleep. Kurome was asleep after a few minutes. After a lot of tossing and turning in her bed, Kurama sat up. He looked over at Kurome who was breathing lightly in her sleep. Then something green caught his attention.
'What's that?' he asked himself as he got out of bed and walked over to a desk in the corner of Kurome's room. It was covered with pictures, candles, and insense. He picked up a notebook that was covered in green leaves that were some how preserved onto the cover so they wouldn't die or rip. Kurama walked back over to Kurome's bed and sat down. He opened the book to reveal yellow tinted pages that were made out of a different plant other than trees.
He skimmed through the pages looking at the contents of the book. There was a page of symbols, information on emeralds, a long list of plants, information about Mercury. And a lot of information about the four cardinal directions. (North, South, East, and West.) Then he got to a page of a list of some things.
At the top in bold print were the words, "If it barm none, do as you will."
Kurama pulled the book up to his face and repeated the words. Then a force pulled the book down away from his face. Kurama gazed into into Kurome's dark blue eyes.
"If you wouldn't mind, I don't want you reading my B.O.S." Kurome more of demanded than suggested.
"I'm sorry, I was curious about what it was, what is a B.O.S.?" Kurama asked.
Kurome shut the book and returned it to her alter.
"It's a book of shadows, I put information that might be helpful to me in it." she replied as she turned back around to face him.
Then Kurama's stomach started to growl. Kurome gave out a little laugh.
"What would you like to eat?" she asked.
Kurama considered her question for a moment.
"Anything that won't cause you trouble to make." he replied.
Kurome sighed, "It's more trouble to think of something to make you, than you just telling me."
"Well, I don't know what there is to eat, so it's hard for me to decide." Kurama defended.
"Don't try turning this on me." Kurome retorted as she walked over to her window and looked at a clock perched on a wall next to the window.
"Well, it's about lunch time, so how about I make some pudgy pies." Kurome suggested.
...There was a moment of silence...
"...What are pudgy pies?" Kurama finally asked.
"It's mainly like a grilled cheese sandwhich with pizza sauce added." Kurome explained.
"That sounds delicious." Kurama replied.
Kurome smiled, "Well I'll be back in a little then." she replied.
Kurama nodded, and Kurome slipped out her window.
