I Will Always Protect You

A few years later Caralama and Yokia were four and there older brother were seven taking private tutors. Jason was a natural writer and was always in his fantasy world making grand adventures sometimes acting them out as well. He was still the calm one and didn't always do anything rational but he was starting to become a playful spirit as the age of ten grew near. He had become great friends with the wind so he began to learn how to fly, with it's help, a lot earlier then other Sign children.

Daniel had become great friends with the lightening so he could make grand storms but if he wasn't careful while he was playing with the lightening he would accidentally make huge storms. Of course Nakada and Yoko didn't approve of this at all. But like his father and mother he was also great friends with the plants and earth.

Yokia had an odd air about her that would no doubt carry on with her even past the age of ten. Sometimes she would be happy and all over the place. At other times she was calm and decent that you would never know that this was the same girl. She had become great friends with water and ice since it was technically the same.

Caralama was just like her sister in some ways but everyone had to watch out for her temper. It matched her friend in many ways which most of you would figure is fire. Though at times when she was as angry as a volcano she could just as calm, which tended to spook everyone. But out of all four she was definitly the most adventures and the most impatient.

Kuronue and Jennah had gained another daughter named Athisem that was a few months old but every energetic that usually always woke her parents up in the middle of the night. Athisem had the usual black wings but her eyes and hair were both indigo.

Falia was now almost seven like her older brothers and had learned much from her adoptive parents and loved having sessions with her teachers. Her favourite element was the wind and she would always listen to the stories it held. But her three other elemental friends were water and earth.

Tuka was a little shy around strangers and always stayed by his mother's side. But he was a great friend to be around and was also very loyal. All of the elements loved him so naturally they all were his friends.

Finally Jamul, the child that looked like his father. He was a lot more daring then other people would expect him to be. He was just as loyal as his brother but he wasn't as shy and stood up for his brother and sister when they needed help. His elemental friend was fire and water, though when this kind of thing happens…you have to stop any arguments between these two elements. Unfortunately that is mostly what happened with him and the two elements.

Right then it was a Friday night and everyone was asleep. Though not everyone was having a peaceful sleep that night. Yoko and Nakada held each other close both of them having the same nightmare until finally they both woke up. After they had calmed down the first thing Yoko said was, "You had it too. Didn't you?" Nakada pressed her clinched hand to Yoko's bare chest and nodded, moving a little so that she could get closer to him. He looked down at her and laid a hand on her head and placed his left temple on her head, "I will come back Nakada."

The Sign felt tears fall down her face as she pressed her head on against his chest, "Yoko, I…"

"Shhhh," the fox demon whispered to her, "Don't worry Nakada," he began to stroke her hair trying to calm her down, "I will come back. But tomorrow why don't we spend what time we have left together with going for a picnic?"

He looked down at her and smiled as she looked up at him. He gently swept his clawed thumb across her face to wipe away her tears. She smiled and chuckled a little, "What am I going to do with you?" She asked shaking her head a little.

He hooked his index finger under her chin and lifted her head up. For a moment golden eyes met ice blue ones once again as he whispered his answer to her, "Kiss me once again."

Their faces grew closer together as their eyes began to slowly close and they kissed once again but this kiss was a lot more important then other kisses.

The Next Day

Yoko and Nakada and their little ones were sitting on a blanket eating by a huge lake. Caralama sat on Yoko's curled legs happily eating some Jell-O, after she and the other kids had taken a small chewable pill that made sure she and the other kids wouldn't go on sugar high. She bounced her side to side while she still hade the spoon upside down in her mouth. Her shoulder length golden mane swung back and forth as well as she hummed. Yoko smiled as he wrapped his arms around her small body and she laughed. She put her finished bowl of orange jell-O on the blanket and then wrapped her small arms around his neck, "I love you daddy," she said in a happy voice.

Yoko sighed as he closed his eyes and wrapped his arms around her, "I love you too Caralama," he pulled away from Caralama for a second and sat her on her lap. She looked up at him with a smile on her face, her fangs showing and her little fox ears moving around. He moved some hair away from her face while still smiling, "I hope you never forget that I love you Caralama." He looked up and saw that Nakada had rounded up the rest the family and they were all around him and he smiled taking Daniel onto his other lap.

Nakada sat right beside him with Yokia and Jason on her lap, "Daddy," Yokia spoke and he looked at her smiling.

"Yes Yokia?"

She swallowed a little and then spoke, "Do you love all of us?"

Yoko looked at her shocked and then spoke, "Of course I love all of you Yokia. What ever made you think otherwise?" Daniel got off of Yoko's lap and pulled Yokia to their father. She sat on his lap and he wrapped his arms around her and Daniel went over to Yokia's spot on Nakada's lap.

Yokia looked up at him and shrugged, "I was just wondering."

Yoko laid his temple on Yokia's head and purred a little into her ears, "You, your brothers, you sister and your mother are the only things that have ever mattered to me ever since you all came along. I love you five more then you could ever know and also you five are my greatest treasure." He lifted his head as he looked at her and all the rest of them, "I don't know what I would do if I lost any of you or if any of you hated me even in the slightest."

Yoko held his two girls closer nuzzled against their heads a little like he always did. Yokia smiled and giggled a little as she snuggled closer to him and then she had a grin on her face and looked up at him, "Daddy?"

"Yes?"

"Why don't we all play hide-and-go-seek-tag?"

He sighed and looked at the sky as if thinking on the idea and looked down at her and his other kids, "Don't go to far from here."

"Okay and you and mommy can be it," before either parent could have a say in the matter the little 'demons' scurried off into the forest.

Yoko looked at the forest with wide eyes and then closed them as he chuckled a little and looked at Nakada who was trying to hold in her laughter. An evil grin appeared on his face and he instantly started to tickle her making her burst out with giggles. Nakada instantly got him back and pounced on him pressing his hands over his head. She grinned as she looked down as him and he smirked, "Now what are you going to do to me now…Kitty?"

"Just this…Fox Boy," she purred and skimmed her lips over his a little and then came down on them in a full kiss.

After a few moments they went to look for their kids in the forest to see where they had gotten to. After a while Nakada had found Yokia, Jason and Daniel but Caralama was still left to find. She told this to Yoko and they both got a little worried. Yoko instantly turned into his fox form, once again, forgetting his not really new abilities and went to try and find his daughter.

With Caralama her Pov

I sat under a tree looking up at the sky with the sun looking down at me as it peeked through the leaves of the trees. I smiled and curled into a little ball with my back at the base of the tree just like daddy had showed me and I curled my tail around me. I was just about to go take a little nap when I heard a twig snap. I looked up and saw a huge demon compared to me with long blue hair pointing a gun at me. I tilted my head in confusion and smiled, "Hello," I said, "My name is Caralama. What's yours?"

The demon grinned at me as I stood up and I didn't like the way he grinned at me as I saw him make a move with his thumb that mommy usually made with Trigger Tiger when she practising her aim to shoot something. But that would mean…oh no.

Normal Pov

Caralama screamed as she pressed her back to the tree and as the demon was about to fire the gun a beautiful silver fox that Caralama instantly saw was her father jumped at the demon. There was a bang and Yoko growled as he jumped away from the demon and turned into his two-legged form pressing a hand to his side. Tears silently fell from her eyes as she watched the battle petrified to the spot and couldn't move even if she wanted to.

The demon grinned, "Now why would the great Yoko Kurama want to protect a half-breed golden kit like that?"

Yoko growled baring his fangs but grinned a little, "You must know that I have changed at least a little."

Caralama looked up at her father and was a little scared about how he was acting. The other demon spoke interrupting his thoughts, "That is true," he agreed, "I have heard that the Murderous Cutthroat Thief had changed. But what I want to know is how much." The thief looked at Caralama again and realized something he hadn't before as Yoko got into the line of vision of the demon. The demon then grinned, "I would never have guessed that you of all the other demons would fall in love with a human and have such a disgusting creature be made. Though that child is quite a beautiful one."

Yoko growled but then he winced as the wound in his side hurt and agonizing pain shot through his body as he pressed his hand harder to the bullet wound. The demon smirked, "Oh right I had forgotten that the bullet is made out of a dangerous kind poison and metal combined. In a few more minutes you should be dead."

Yoko reached into his hair and he spoke to his daughter, "Caralama," she looked at him, "Look away," she did that and there was the sound of a whip and the loud scream from the demon.

Yoko looked at them demon in front of him, "At least I will get rid of you as well." He winced as he began to turn around and walk over to his daughter who was crying against the tree. He could hear the tree try to comfort her as he got closer but it wasn't working. He kneeled down to the ground and placed a hand on Caralama's shoulder. She winced as she turned around and ran to her father circling her arms around his neck holding him close.

"Daddy I don't want you to die," she cried into his chest.

He sat against the tree holding Caralama close being careful not to get any blood on her as he wrapped her up in his arms. The hand that was covered in his blood he raised so as to not get any blood on her, "I wont be gone forever Caralama I promise."

"Why can't you heal yourself daddy?" Caralama asked, hopefully, looking up at her father.

He smiled and laid his head on hers as he continued to hold her with one arm as the other hand went to his pendant and he took it off. His fingers fumbled over the hook but he took it off it off and gave it to her, "H-here Caralama."

She took the pendant and looked up at him, "No daddy you need this to help protect you from the Dark Signs," she tried to give him back the pendant but he wouldn't take it.

"Caralama…it is to late to heal my body…or…or cure the poison. I…will come back," Yoko looked at his daughter his eyes becoming harder and harder for him to keep open.

"Daddy why did you let yourself get hit by the bullet?"

Yoko smiled and took hold of her hand while his arm was still wrapped around her, "If…I h-hadn't taken the…bullet…you would have gotten h-hurt instead." Yoko voice was getting more silent showing he wasn't going to last long. Caralama snuggled close against her father her face in her chest, "I…I love all o…f you…Caralama." He whispered into her ear, "You…your mother…and your brothers and sister. I…would rather die then let one of you be killed. I don't…want you or your siblings to forget that."

The little girl's tears fell freely from her eyes as she sat in her father's lap feeling the way he stroke her hair. Suddenly the stroking stopped and she looked up at him. His eyes were closed and his skin was pale, "D-daddy?"

Some smoke came out of Yoko's mouth and stayed in front of Caralama's face a little, "I will always protect my love and my children," Caralama heard a voice whisper before the smoke flew off into the distance.

"Caralama!" she turned around and saw her mother standing their alone. She had told the other children to go back to the castle and wait for her to return.

"MOMMY!" Caralama screamed as she ran over to her mother with her father's pendant still in hand. Nakada opened her arms and caught Caralama as she ran into them crying, "Daddy's dead mommy," she cried, "He's dead."

"No sweetie," Caralama looked up at her mother. Nakada smiled as she wiped the tears of the crying girl away from her face, "Your father has just gone to another body that is all. He will come back…but it will take a long time. Your father and I saw this coming…but we didn't know how or when it would happen."

Caralama looked her mother and smiled, "He…he is going to come back?" Nakada nodded and Caralama looked relieved as she held her mother, "That's nice to hear."

In Ningenkai

A pregnant woman was sleeping in bed her husband gone down stairs for something. Yoko had later on in the morning had taken possession of the baby that didn't seem to have a soul. While the husband was down stairs the window blew through the open window and a dark figure could be seen. It's blood red eyes glowed in the dark as it approached the woman and raised a gloved hand. They took the glove off and placed their hand on the woman's stomach and whispered, "Remember nothing but what I give you." The hand glowed and the figure left the room without another word more.
