Ohhh Halloween weekend, & I'm having problems finding someone to go tirck-or-treating with! Some of my pal's parents say their kids are too old to trick-or-treat. Well: You're only young once, but you can be immature forever.

The quarter ended 2day, so we'll be getting our grades wednesday or thursday next week. Last I knew I was getting a C- in spanish, and that'll be my worst grade. (I'm almost positive.) So I'm hoping I didn't get any D's, course I'm not failing anything else cause I don't slack off that much. Well happy halloween to everyone. Big holiday for me, so I'm happy, I'll be happier if I get my candy! Oh and, I'm gonna add Yukina in this chapter. I'm sorry to all you Yukina fans for forgetting her. I really still can't believe it totally slipped my mind. ' Alright chapter time!

Actually, first it's time to learn japanese class!

Ogenki desu-ka How are you?

Genki-desu I'm fine.

Ohayoo Good morning

Doomo Arigato gozaimasu thank you very much.

And 'blah blah blah' Youko thinking/saying something to Shuichi.

Chapter 14

Kurama woke up to the sweet smell of cooking. He got dressed and followed the scent to the kitchen. Kurome was standing over a stove with a frying pan in hand.

"Ohayoo." she greeted with a smile.

"Good morning, ogenki desu-ka?" Kurama asked.

"Just peachy." she answered.

"What are you making?" he questioned, peering over her shoulder.

"Just experimenting with rice." he replied while stiring the contents in the frying pan.

"It smells delicious." the kitsune praised.

Kurome looked at him, "Does the suck up want to play test subject?"

"Alright." Kurama accepted.

"Well there's some over there." Kurome replied while motioning over to a bowl of fried rice sitting on the counter. Kurama walked over to a drawer, and grabbed a pair of wooden chopsticks, then went over to where the bowl was sitting, and grabbed the bowl. He could smell some seasonings including garlic & onions. Kurome noticed him examining the contents of the bowl.

"Might not want to eat it if you have any vampire blood in ya." she commented.

Kurama chuckled, "No, I think I'm alright." he replied as he took a bite.

"It's delicious." he praised after he swallowed the bite.

"Arigato, I thought I'd add more flavor to it since that's all I can find here." she told him.

"Would you like to go out for breakfast? Rice isn't the only thing to eat in Japan." he offered.

"No thanks, Genki-desu." she refused as she turned off the stove and pouring the rice into another bowl sitting on the counter, then setting the pan on a different burner of the stove to cool.

'The little wolf should know she can't trick a fox.' Youko Kurama stated while inwardly smiling.

"Well, I have to go to town for the day, so would you care to join me?" Kurama re-tried offering.

"Nope, because I may not be a fox, but I'm not an idiot. I'm not "going to town" with you because if we were to go out then we'd have to eat after awhile." Kurome pointed out.

"You caught me, well how about we go out, and come back before lunch time?" Kurama asked.

Kurome gave him a skeptical stare for about 5 seconds before finally agreeing.

"Alright." she agreed.

Kurama smiled, "We can leave whenever you're ready." he told her.

Kurome raised the bowl of rice she was holding up to her mouth.

"Without rushing." Kurama added giving her a parently stare. Kurome sighed, then slowly started to eat again.

For a little they stood in the kitchen eating, until Yukina came into the kitchen. (I'm not gonna go into detail bout her cause I know all of you know her hair color, ect. But she's wearing her usual outfit you see her in.)

Yukina was a little surpirsed to see a new face in the kitchen, so she didn't speak up right away.

"Good morning Yukina, it's nice to meet you." Kurome greeted while bowing, and holding the bowl of rice in her hands so she wouldn't make a mess.

The koorime blink twice surprised that the new face knew who she was before bowing back.

"Good morning, might you be Kurome?" she asked.

Kurome nodded in reply.

"Well it's nice to meet you Kurome, I hope you've enjoyed your stay so far." Yukina kindly stated.

"Yes I have, the landscape is beautiful here." Kurome commented.

Yukina turned to the fox, "Kurama, Koenma is here, he'd like to speak to you. He's in the living room."

Kurama nodded, and washed out his rice bowl that had been empty for awhile.

"Excuse me ladies." he said before departing.

Yukina smiled to Kurome, "So are you going to be staying with us for awhile? I know you came back with the boys after a mission even though you weren't in the best shape." she commented.

"Yea I know, well I think I'll be here for awhile as long as it's fine with everyone." Kurome replied while finishing up her rice. She turned to the sink and cleaned the last few grains of rice out of her bowl.

"Well I hope you stay, the more the merrier, I think that's the saying." Yukina said.

Kurome smiled at her.

With Kurama and Koenma.

Kurama walked into the living room to find Koenma sitting on a mat drinking some tea, probably prepared by Yukina.

"Good morning Koenma, what gives me the honor of your sudden presense?" Kurama polietly greeted while going straight to the point, and sitting down on a mat across from Koenma.

"I did some research into the case of Kurome's village that was attacked." Koenma stated.

Kurama stared at him, listening, even though he knew what was coming.

"Kurome will have to be staying in this world for a little, and I think to avoid future problems you-" Koenma began.

"Miss Kurome already knows the identity of the demon that attacked her village." Kurama inturuppted.

Koenma was a little shocked by this. "How does she know?" he asked.

"I told her last night." Kurama plainly replied.

"...And how is she taking this?" Koenma questioned.

"Quite fine, she is a positive thinker." Kurama told the prince.

Suddenly there was a knock at the door.

"Come in." Koenma commanded.

Kurome walked into the room, "Umm...Sorry if I'm inturuppting you guys, but I was wondering if I could ask a favor of you Prince Koenma." Kurome asked while slightly looking at the ground.

"What is it?" Koenma asked, a little happy to see there was another person around here who had some respect for him.

"Is there a way that you could put that marking back on my arm, but without sealing any of my memories or anything?" Kurome questioned.

Koenma looked at her, a curious glint in his eye, "Why would you like me to?" he asked.

"Well, I've had it on my arm for most of my life, and it just seems wierd to have it gone." Kurome explained.

Koenma stood up, and walked over to Kurome.

"Let me see your arm." he said.

Kurome held her arm out, and Koenma placed his hand on it. His hand started to glow blue, and when he removed his hand, the marking was there again.

"Doomo Arigato gozaimasu." Kurome thanked with a bow, then turned to leave.

"You don't have to leave, I need to be getting back to the palace, so good day to you two." Koenma said.

The other two said their goodbyes, and Koenma left through a portal.

"Shall we leave now?" Kurama asked.

Kurome nodded, "If you're ready."

Not much happened, because I'm working on a side story to this. But I want to get it all done before I post it because then the ppl who read it won't have to do the weekly wait that I put every who reads this through. I'm sorry that I have too! But after x-mas break I'll get on the computers in the IMC at school to type up chapters if I can get to the computers in time.

I'm wondering if any of you have asked yourselves, "If Youko Kurama attacked Kurome's village, and burned it down. How did Kurome survive?" I was thinking about that on the bus because I try to not leave you guys in the dark. So my fic will be explaining that.
