Bookworm- I also like getting scared by movies, but if I watch a scary movie I'm looking behind my back for the next week cause I'm a lil' paronoid then. ' Oh and your prediction was originally wrong. But then I thought about it, and decided to edit the story a little because I liked the idea I came up with. So thank you for your prediction because it led to me thinking of a better idea for the fic than I originally had. claps
Also any of my reviewers want to tell me if they are an author or not I'll check out their fics. My step dad put a new cartridge in the printer so i don't have to stay on the computer to read fanfics. (That'll save me a lot of getting yelled at.)
...Guess what? It's 5:12 AM here, I live in the Chicago land area so it's central time zone. I'M SO TIRED! It's Thursday, and my parents came in my room to say goodbye, and they thought that if I was asleep, they'd just leave me alone. So my dad comes in & says my name, and being the light sleeper that I am, it woke me up! 1 hour and 15 min before I normally get up. (That means a lot since I couldn't fall asleep till after 11pm. Well that will just make me go crazy! When I'm tired, or just woken up (Which I am currently both.) I get...crazy. I find the dumbest things funny. Like right now, I'm laughing when I say "Hello class" In German. (I don't know how to spell the word since I'm taking Spanish.) wtf is wrong with me?
Oh and for you fans I need some myspace friends. My display name is Moonfox, I'd like ppls to talk 2!
...Ok enough rambling...
Chapter 5
CLUNK!
Kurama shot up in the bed and rubbed his eyes to clear his vision. He looked next to himself to find Kurome gone.
Then he noticed the girl sleeping on the floor. He chuckled at seeing how she slept through the impact. (For those of you thick headed people, she rolled off the bed in her sleep.)
Then Kurama got up and took a pillow off of Kurome's bed. He knelt down next to her and lifted her head up, putting the pillow under it. He rested her head back down on the pillow, then grabbed the blanket on the bed and put it over her. Kurome smiled in her sleep, then Kurama got his school uniform and went to the bathroom to change into it.
A few minutes later her came out and set the clothes Kurome let him borrow, neatly folded, on her bed. He looked back over towards Kurome, who was still sound asleep on the floor.
"Arigato." he whispers to her.
And with that he climbs out her window and leaves to go find a way to return to his home.
A few hours later.
"Wake up lazy." a voice calls to Kurome.
Kurome rolls over, "I'm not going to school today, leave me alone." she replies.
Then a small glass of water is dumped on her. Kurome instantly shoots up.
"What is wrong with you?" she yells.
"Well what's wrong with you? You're the one sleeping on the floor and complaining about not wanting to go to school, when we have to school today." Meghan replies.
Kurome opened her eyes, "What are you doing here?" she asked.
"Well coming to spend the day with you like we planned." Meghan told her.
"I'm sorry, I forgot." Kurome apologized as she rubbed her eyes so she could see beter.
"So why are you sleeping on the floor? And where is Kurama?" Meghan asks her.
Kurome twitches then looks around, "He's gone?" she asks.
"Obviously." Meghan sighs.
"Oh man, he must have left to go back from where he came from." Kurome explains as she gets up and notices the outfit she lent him.
"And it's labor day, what if people see him?" Meghan adds.
"Lets go find him!" Kurome shouts.
"No duh, you don't have to yell." Meghan says.
Kurome grabs her handbag and then goes over to her alter and grabs her athame, and puts it in the back pocket of her pants. (I don't know if I spelt that right. But the easiest way to explain it is that it's a knife used for magik.)
Then they climb out Kurome's bedroom window and start to search anywhere for the fox.
Meanwhile with Kurama
Kurama is walking down a path in a deserted part heading towards the forest that he came out of when he was first brought into this world. When he reached the forest he thought he saw a figure flying above his head. But when he looked around there was nothing there so he continued to travel deeper into the forest with caution. He came to a clearing which he remembered.
Flashback
The Rekai Tentai is fighting with four evil wood sprites. There's 4 sprites, so it's like a 1 on 1 situation. The sprites are hardly a match for our heros. Yusuke and Hiei kill theirs off with ease, and watch as their other teammates handle the other 2 sprites. Kuwabara is swinging his spirit sword around, but the sprite keeps flying around. Kurama is using his rose whip to slowly tire the sprite out to question it. Yusuke gets bored after a few minutes and shoots the sprite Kuwabara was trying to beat with his spirit gun.
"Hey, I had everything under control Urimeshi!" Kuwabara yells. Hiei turns away with his favorite 'hn.'
The sprite that Kurama was weakening stops fighting with him and looks at her dead teammates and the now 4 against 1 situation she is. Kurama takes the oppurtunity to wrap his whip around the sprite. But she slashes the whip with claws that look almost like tree trunks, and she flies as fast as she can towards Kurama.
A green aura appears around her and she flies full speed into the fox. Then they both disappear.
There is a blinding light and when it disappears Kurama notices he is free-falling in a strange blue space. He can't move around, and all of a sudden the sprite comes speeding at him. (She can move because of her wings.) She slashes at him with all 5 claws on her right hand, but Kurama attempted to side-step, so only 3 came in contact with his body. But they are still very powerful, and he quickly starts to bleed. All of a sudden a bright light shines from behind him. Kurama turns around to see what it is. All of a sudden a gust of wind starts blowing. Kurama braces himself so he doesn't get blown away. But the sprite is sent flying, and she is blown towards a shining star where she disappears. The wind gets even more powerful and eventually pushes Kurama towards the same star that the sprite was blown off to.
Everything goes black, until Kurama hears the sound of trees blowing in the wind. He opens his eyes and finds himself in a clearing of a forest.
End Flashback
Kurama walks up into the clearing of the forest. He starts to look around for any sign for a way to get home, or for the sprite that brought him here.
All of a sudden the clearing quickly filled up with a purple powder. Kurama covers his nose and mouth with the sleeve of his shirt to keep from inhaling the powder. He jumps up onto a tree branch, and then into the air so he can get some fresh air. But there was a flash of someone appearing, and the sprite that brought Kurama to this world appeared in front of him.
"I've been looking for you fox." she snickered as she swung at him with a sword made out of bark.
Kurama dodged it, and landed back on the forest floor where he was forced to breathe in the poison or else he would suffercate. The sprite landed on a tree.
"I've got you now my fox." she said to him.
"What are your motives?" Kurama questioned her.
"Motives? It's because I want the legendary kind of thieves." The evil sprite replied. She flew off the branch of the tree, and slowly towards Kurama.
He tried to move so he could summon his rose whip, but he was paralyzed.
"Hm, it seems my poison has taken affect." The fairy said as she slowly approached him. (Hey she did it slowly because she's prideful and thought that nothing will be able to get in her way.)
The sprite had a dress on made of leaves stitched together, and had leaf-shaped wings. She had claws that were like sharp tree roots, and a sword made out of bark at her side.
Kurama moved his eyes down and noticed that he was bleeding again.
"Poor you, it seems that my poison has mixed with your blood. I guess you won't survive much longer, unless you transform. Only the body of a demon can handle my poisoning. Show me the kind of theives." the sprite said as she hovered about 5 feet from Kurama's face.
Before he could respond in any way, an army of rocks came showing at the sprite. She screamed in fustration and flew to higher ground to protect herself. Kurome and Meghan came walking into the clearing.
"Back off you psycho bitch!" Kurome screamed at the sprite as she threw the last rock she was holding onto at the sprite.
"I've got your back." Meghan told Kurome, who nodded, then started to run over to help Kurama.
"No he's mine!" The sprite screamed as she flew towards Kurome. But Meghan threw her last two rocks at the sprite, making her stop to shield herself.
Kurome reached Kurama who was standing still this whole time.
"Run away, she isn't human." Kurama told Kurome as she came up to him.
"Well no shit sherlock." Kurome replied.
"Watch out!" Meghan screamed to them.
Kurome started to turn around when the sprite grabbed her by the throat and lifted her into the air.
Meghan instantly started to run towards the sprite, but was blown back into a tree by the sprite's aura.
'This is the only chance I have to save her.' Kurama thought as he started to focus his energy, and started to transform.
"S-Stop." Kurome gasped. Kurama ignored her until he saw that Kurome had a plan. He saw her hand reaching towards her back pocket with the athame in it. So he stopped focusing his energy.
"Why'd you stop?" The sprite screamed. But then she got an evil look on her face.
"If killing this human is the way to make you transform, then I have to problem with that." the sprite said. She squeezed harder on Kurome's neck, making some of her bones in her neck pop out of place.
Kurome screamed, and quickly stabbed the athame into the sprite's neck.
The sprite screamed in pain, and dropped Kurome to the ground, who started gasping for air, but found breathing hard because her bones were out of alignment.
The sprite started to laugh as she pulled the knife out of her neck.
"This may hurt, but you won't kill me that easily." she chuckled.
"Run away! Hurry!" Kurama yelled at Kurome, who stood up.
"No way!" Kurome shouted at him. She turned around towards him.
"I'm not going anywhere, and leaving you with this maniac!" Kurome shouted at him.
"LOOK OUT STUPID!" Meghan yelled at Kurome. But it was too late. The sprite had pulled the athame out of her neck, and threw it at Kurome. It hit her in her lower back, right where her spine was. Kurome screamed in pain, then collapsed and blacked out.
This enraged Kurama, and he started to focus his energy again to transform. But he was soon inturuppted when a huge ball of blue light came flying out of the forest, hitting and killing the sprite on contact.
Yusuke, Hiei, and Kuwabara came into the clearing. Hiei dashed over towards Kurama, Yusuke stood in victory for taking the sprite down, and Kuwabara freaked out at the site of Kurome's body.
"Is she dead?" he asked.
With the sprite dead, Kurama was able to move again. (And the poison left his system. How? I'm not telling cause I'm too tired to think of a way.)
He bent down and picked Kurome's body up. Meghan got up and ran over to them. Kurama pulled the atame out of Kurome's back.
"I'm sorry." Kurama apologized to Meghan, who's eyes started filling up with tears.
"She's not dead!" Meghan shouted at Kurama.
"Stupid human, the knife hit her spine, and probably severed all nerves and oxygen to her brain." Hiei told her.
Kurama turned Kurome around and brushed the dirt off her face. Meghan grabbed the front of Kurome's shirt and shook her.
"Wake up blondie!" She said.
Kurama pulled Kurome away.
"I'm sorry, but you'll have to accept it." he told Meghan.
Hiei snorted, "Dumbass human."
But then Kurome gave a little moan and slowly opened her eyes.
"I don't want to go to school, let me sleep." she mumbled.
Everyone was shocked, and Meghan smiled.
Kurome closed her eyes again, and drifted off to sleep.
Then there was a burst of light, and a tunnel appeared above the sprite's body.
"Looks like that portal the sprite pulled you through." Yusuke said to Kurama.
"But does it lead back?" Kuwabara asked.
"Only one way to find out." Yusuke replied.
"What? And what if it doesn't get us back?" Kuwabara shouted.
Yusuke just shrugged. Kurama turned back towards Meghan, and tried to hand her Kurome's sleeping body.
"Please take her with you." Meghan asked.
Everyone was shocked by this.
"I'm sorry, but we can't." Kurama replied.
"And why not?" Meghan demanded.
"Because it isn't safe for her in our world." Kurama calmly told her.
"What do you mean? It's not like I'm asking you to bring her with you on your missions!" Meghan shouted, then gasped and covered her mouth.
Kurama looked sternly at Meghan, and Hiei glared at her.
"Human, how much do you know?" Hiei demanded.
Meghan was silent for a second, then spoke up.
"A lot, Kurome and I both know who you guys are stuff." she explained.
"And how do you know this?" Kurama asked.
"There are...stories told about you guys." Meghan partly lied.
"What type of stories?" Kuwabara asked.
"About your missions, and how you guys fight demons and stuff." Meghan replied.
"Well that makes it easier then, you know why we can't bring her with us." Kurama told her.
"But why can't you just leave her behind? I mean she'll be happier with you guys." Meghan pleaded.
"And what makes you think that?" Hiei asked.
"...Because she's not happy here." Meghan quietly replied.
Kurama stood still thinking for a few seconds, then he turned to his team.
"I think we should be heading back. Why don't you guys go ahead, and tell everyone that we're all right." Kurama suggested.
"Watever." Yusuke said and he walked through the portal. Kuwabara rushed after him.
"Hn, baka kitsune." Hiei said before he turned and went through the portal.
"I'm sorry." Kurama appologized one last time.
"Please, you stayed with her, you've heard her father right?" Meghan asked.
"Yes, but what does that have to deal with anything?" Kurama asked.
"She has a bad home life, she's a black sheep at school, please take her with you. For her own well being." Meghan pleaded.
Kurama sighed, "And what will happen here? A girl just all of a sudden disappears into think air."
"I'll think of something, like she ran away, but don't leave her here." Meghan asked.
Kurama knelt down by Meghan and held his arms out. Meghan put Kurome back into his arms.
"Thank you." Meghan thanked.
"One thing though, why didn't Kurome say anything about knowing me?" Kurama asked.
"It's hard to explain now, maybe she'll tell you one day." Meghan replied. Kurama stood up, and walked towards the portal that was starting to close. He took one look back at Meghan.
"Thank you." She said. He nodded then stepped through the portal.
He
ended back up at Genkai's temple.
Only Hiei was standing waiting
for him.
"Why did you bring her?" Hiei asked. Kurama looked down at Kurome.
"Because she's saved my life twice, and I owe her." Kurama replied.
Kurama started to head into the temple to lay Kurome down.
"You better take care of that wound, or she'll bleed to death." The Koorime suggested. Kurama nodded his head.
"I know." he replied.
Longest chapter yet! (I'm about to fricken pass out!) GOOD NIGHT! ( I ended up finishing this chapter after I got home from school, just to let you know.)
