Power went out last night, so that was interesting. By the looks of it I didn't fail any of my classes so I don't think I'm going to be grounded. Not positive though. Finals finally over so I don't have to focus on studying so much. I was watching Yu Yu Hakusho this morning and they even had Kurama pronounce his name Shuichi Minamoru. Anyone know what's up with this? I'm still going to stick with Minamino, cause that's what I'm used too, and I like it more. Oh & I'm going to cut WDLR shorter and use one of my plots in the sequel. I was going to use it afterwards if Kurome gets better. (Can't give you any spoilers now, can I?) (That's a rhetorical question. Meaning there's no need to answer it) and for those of you who think, 'Kurome will get better, otherwise why would Moonfox write a sequel.' I could always have it being how the tentai are doing in life now that Kurome is dead. So there's no knowing what will happen.

Oi - it means 'hey'

Chapter 24

Yusuke flipped a light switch while walking into the apartment. Kurome quietly followed him. They took their shoes off and Yusuke went to the kitchen to grab something from the fridge.

Kurome looked around, studying her location, then went over by Yusuke, standing behind the open fridge door. Yusuke retrieved a sandwich from the fridge, and jumped upon closing the door.

"Jeez, there's no need to be that quiet." Upon gaining his composure he slightly smirked, "Or are you practicing to be my new stalker?"

Kurome turned and walked to the area that she figured was a living room.

"Don't flatter yourself." She replied which a little smile on her face.

"You want anything to eat?" Yusuke asked.

"No thanks." Kurome called back as she sat down on a couch.

Yusuke shrugged and took a bite out of his sandwich as he left the kitchen, and went into the living room as well. He sat down on the same couch as Kurome and took another bite out of his sandwich.

Kurome turned to look at him.

"So what did you want to ask me?" she questioned.

"Oi, 'ont ou nanna…" Yusuke began to reply before making a grunting sound and swallowing the food in his mouth. (Yusuke translation: "Oi, don't you wanna…)

Kurome smiled and just shook her head at him.

"Don't you wanna just talk with your good 'ol pal Yusuke?" He asked.

"At this hour? And you said that you wanted to ask me some things." She replied.

"What do you mean 'at this hour'? you were awake, and what were you doing in town 'at this hour'?" Yusuke questioned.

Kurome stared at the TV for a few seconds as if she was lost in thought.

"…Midnight walk?" she suggested the idea more than replied.

Yusuke started to laugh. "That's a good one." He told her.

Once Yusuke stopped laughing it got very quiet until he spoke up again.

"So you don't have any fire demons running around your mind anymore? Because last time I saw you, you were in bed, mainly unconscious." He stated.

"Well I'm feeling a little better, least to walk and stuff. I'm going to try and get this demon out of my mind tomorrow." She replied.

"This involve any special ceremony or shit? I mean if it was really simple you'd done it a long time ago right?"

"Nothing really big, needed to feel better so I could try this thing."

"So what do you have in mind?" Yusuke asked while raising an eyebrow.

"Well, I have a full demon side in my mind that's very bloodthirsty. So I'm going to let this demon invading my mind have a lunch with this side." Kurome explained.

Yusuke raised an eyebrow, "Bloodthirsty? Could never tell by the way you act."

Kurome smiled at his attempt of a joke.

Yusuke set his empty plate down next to the couch. "So you're going to introduce this damn fire demon in your mind to your bloodthirsty side?" He concluded.

Kurome nodded in reply.

"Any horrible consequences? He asked. "Like turning into a vampire or something?"

Kurome smiled and shook her head.

"No, but if things don't go right I could lose my demon powers temporarily or permanently…there's a lot to explain." She told him.

Yusuke nodded in understanding. "Have you told Kurama about this?" he asked.

Kurome looked at him, "Yes, but why would that matter?" she replied.

"He's been really worried about you. He probably came to visit you every day, I know he did today." Yusuke explained.

Kurome turned to stare at the TV again and began to slightly swing her legs.

"You and Yukina both, she told me he's been really worried about me and things."

"Well what do you expect? It's obvious you two have feelings for each other."

Kurome blushed and turned so Yusuke was staring at the back of her head, "Whatever." She simply replied.

"Ahh, don't get mad or anything." He pleaded.

"…I'm not mad, it's just weird…" she replied.

"What's weird?" he asked.

"You guys haven't known me for long, but yet you're all so nice to me. In my old world you were all in an anime show, so I know about your personalities. But it just feels weird that you guys accept me so easily." She explained.

"You've got a good personality to get along with." He replied.

Kurome turned back around so he wasn't looking at the back of her head. "..Arigato." she thanked. Then she slightly yawned.

"I think you should be getting back to the temple. It seems you have some work to do tomorrow." He stated as he stood up.

Kurome did the same, "I guess." She replied. She followed Yusuke to the door.

"Well good night." She told him as she walked outside. Yusuke stood in the doorway.

"See ya tomorrow." He replied. Kurome gave him a questioning look.

"Next time I see you, it's just going to be you in that crazy mind of yours right?" he asked.

Kurome knew what he meant, "Yep" she replied with a nod of her head.

Yusuke gave her a thumbs up and closed the door once she left.

She returned to the temple and quickly drifted to sleep in her bed.

Well there will actually be a main plot update next chapter. I've been dragging things on a lot. It's a bad habit. (Did it when I originally wrote WDLR.) Till next time, ja ne.
