Chapter 7:Alone? Broken Heart Mended

Hiyoko went to school the next day with a heavy heart. She still couldn't believe Kurama and Yoko were gone. It made her feel like ripping her heart out when she thought about it. He died saving her.

Tears came to Hiyoko's eyes. She could even feel Hiyokoai grieving inside her.

"What's wrong?" A girl asked.

Hiyoko didn't answer. She got up from her desk, tears pouring down her face, and ran out of the school. There wasn't any part of her that cared if she missed the test today, not even if she failed school. All she wanted was to have Yoko and Kurama back.

"Please, please come back to me!" She cried, falling down on the sidewalk. "Please Shuiichi, Yoko!"

"Now why's a pretty girl like you on the ground cryig?" A kind, familiar voice asked, putting a hand on her shoulder.

She immediately stopped crying. Shock was on her face.

"K-Kurama?" Hiyoko said through joy-filled tears.

She jumped up and embraced him as if she was about to die and wanted to hold him one last time. Or that he was the only thing holding her up.

Hiyoko felt him embrace her back. They stood there, silent like that for a long time. Then, they finally kissed. It was more passionate than Hiyoko thought was even possible, and she tightened her grip on Kurama.

Shuiichi broke away with a smile. She looked at him in confusion.

"There's an awful lot of people here..." He giggled.

Hiyoko blushed, realizing what she had almost turned the kiss into.

"C'mon, let's go." Shuiichi smiled and tok her hand.

"Where are we going?" She asked.

"My house." He replied.

"But-" She started.

"I have to explain why we were out so long, not the truth of course, and Mom leaves early for work today." Kurama explained. "So, when she leaves we can talk things over, like our past, maybe let Yoko and Hiyokoai out for a while, and spend some time together."

Hiyoko smiled. "Sounds like fun."

When they got home, Kurama told his mom that there was a school thing they had to stay for, so they were late getting home. He apologized for not calling.

Kurama and Hiyoko sat on the couch and watched RahXephon, waiting for Mrs. Minamino to leave. After about an hour Mrs. Minamino started to get ready.

"Goodbye." She smiled, grabbing her purse. "Lock the doors after I'm gone Shuiichi."

As soon as she left, he locked the doors. Hiyoko admired the way he treated his mother.

They went into Shuiichi's room and he locked the door for any further disruptions. They sat on his bed.

"So ou've had a demon in you this whole time, too." He said. "Wonder why she stayed dormant until now."

"Me too." Hiyoko said.

As soon as she finished her sentence she felt arms embrace her waist. Shuiichi pulled her closer to him.

"I thought I'd never see you again." He said sadly, putting his chin on her shoulder.

She felt his warm chest against her back and his hot breath on her neck. Hiyoko turned around and hugged Kurama. She leaned toward him and kissed him.

The kiss deepened and she laid back on Shuiichi's bed. They took eachother's clothes off and they made love.

Hey you gonna let me out or what? Hiyokoai called out, annoyed.

Not...yet...later

I need time with Yoko! Hiyokoai protested.

Sorry...I promise...later.

Shuiichi's hair fell over her face as his mouth went to her neck. He sucked, giving her a hickey.

Hiyoko squeazed him tighter in pleasure.

"Kurama we better stop." Hiyoko said. "Your mom's gonna be home in half an hour and Yoko and Hiyokoai want to spend a little time together."

"You're right." He admitted, laying back on his bed.

Hiyoko layed her head on his chest and smiled. Shuiichi ran a hand through her hair lovingly.

They let their demon forms out to spend time together before his mom came home.

Hiyoko felt that the worst day of her life had turned into the best. All she needed was her sweet, loving kitsune.

I love you Kurama and Yoko, too...but Yoko is Hiyokoai's...everything works out well this way. There was a little pain in her heart at that thought. Besides, the one I love the most and that holds my heart...is Shuiichi.

Their only problem now was Royuki. He was still alive, so he could control her. The only reason he had let her leave was he thought Yoko and Kurama were dead. She decided to ask Kurama about what they would do about him later.
