Chapter 3: The talk

The morning came and Kurama was still asleep. Kurama's mother had to come into his room and wake him up. Kurama opened his eyes and thought it was Kurona. He found out it was his mother that woke him up. Kurama sat up and said sorry to his mother for having to waking up late. His mother smiled and told him he'll be late for school if he didn't get up. Kurama's mother left the room and Kurama got dressed in his uniform. He decided to go to school and then look for Kurona after school. Kurama walked down stairs, ate some breakfast, say goodbye to his mother and left. When he got to school, his fan club surrounded him. Then he continued to his first class. All day he thought about Kurona. Soon school ended and Kurama walked off the school ground and back to his school. Once he was there, he put his bag away and then decided to go to Rei-kai. He found a portal in the forest and went through that. He got to Rei-kai and found Koenma in his office. He was stamping papers when he saw Kurama walk into the room. "Hello Kurama," Koenma said.

"I found Kurona," said Kurama.

"You did; did she have the mirror?" asked Koenma.

"She exampled to me way she had the mirror and everything. I honestly think the person who fought her is the bad one," said Kurama.

"Do you know where she is Kurama?"

"No; I had her but she escaped and now I have no clue where she is."

"Find her and let me hear her story. Check the forest; it is daylight after all."

"She can see the sunlight and not get hurt. I'll check the forest though." Kurama nod and left the room. Koenma smiled as Kurama closed the door. Then Koenma got off his desk and walked into another room. In that room, there was another Koenma, tied up and a cloth over his mouth. The Koenma that walked in turned in Noruti. The real Koenma's eyes widened. "You were wrong to think Kurona stole it without a reason and now Kurama will bring her straight to me. Once I get the mirror from Kurona, I will rule all three worlds." Then Noruti laughed. Koenma then knew at that moment, he owed Kurona an apologue. But now, he had to warn Kurama. Noruti walked out of the room as Koenma and locked the door. Noruti summoned his minions, ordered them to find Kurama, and follow him straight to Kurona.

Kurona woke up and realized she had fallen asleep while she was remembering her past. That is when she met Youko. What happened later was a painful part of the memory. Kurona didn't want to think about that memory or Youko. She got up and walked out of the cave. It was daylight and Kurona really didn't like day time (she can survive but she just doesn't like sunlight). She was a bat demon but she could survive in the sunlight. She walked out of the cave and took in her surroundings. She was in the middle of a forest. She walked around and looked at everything in the forest. "Nigenkai is so beautiful," Kurona said. "No wonder Youko hasn't come back to Makai yet. He loves his place more. I wish everything could go back to the way it was before with me, Kuronue and Youko."

"So do I," said a voice. Kurona turned around and saw Kurama behind her. She began to back away until she tripped on something small.

"Get away from me Youko," she said.

"Kurona, please just come and we can clear your name," he answered.

"You already broke my heart one to many times," she said.

"What does that mean Kurona?" he asked.

"I loved you even with all that horrible stuff you did to me back in the past! I thought you could change and you did at first! Now, you're just like a human; soft heart and doesn't care what happens to demons!" she said. "Leave me the hell alone!" Kurama looked at her with surprise. She had loved him even after all the stuff he did to her back in the past.

"Kurona-" he couldn't complete his sentence because dark creatures came out of nowhere. They had black capes on and have sharp claws, they were tall but that doesn't mean much. You couldn't see the rest of them thanks to their capes.

"These are Noruti's; you lead them HERE! YOU REALLY DO HATE ME! TRAITOR; TO ME AND KURONUE!"

"I didn't lead them here; watch out." Kurama summoned his whip and hit the creature behind Kurona. Kurona jumped into the air and brought out her weapon: a scythe like her brother. She threw it and hit a couple guys, cut them and they went screaming and dieing. Kurona jumped again cut so more and ran away. Kurama followed her, killing so demons along the way. "Kurona, listen to me! I can help you!"

"Hell no!" She landed and put her scythe away. She brought out her own whip and swung it with her left hand. While Kuronue was right handed, she was left handed. She whipped the demons and never got hit; same with Kurama. Kurona stopped because of her right arm hurting from her battle with Noruti the other day. Kurama jumped behind her and turned his back toward her. Then the demons surrounded them.

"Listen, let's take care of these…things then we'll talk; alright Sakuranbo (cherry in English)." Kurona closed her eyes and remember the name. Kuronue and Youko called her that because she loved to eat cherries. If she went to pick cherries, she come back with a full stomach and half a basket of cherries. Youko and Kuronue laughed when they saw that. Kurona then fall asleep in Kuronue's arms. Then Kuronue put her to bed. That was when she was young. As she got older, she didn't fall asleep but always ate the cherries instead of picked them.

"Alright," she said calmly. "Let's do this. You ready; its plan one."

"We're doing that plan; okay." Kurona dropped her whip, kneed on the ground, and put her hands to the ground. Kurama jumped in the air and made all the demons look up. Then rock shaped like ice isles came out of the ground and trapped the demons. Then Kurona and Kurama jumped in from the top and killed the demons with their whips. However, one demon escaped. Kurona was about to go after that one when Kurama said, "Let him go; now let's talk."

"Fine." The ground turned back to normal and Kurona goes to sit in the tree. Kurama sits on the branch too. "What do you want to talk to me about? Oh I know."

"That attack there proves your innocent."

"How?"

"You didn't touch the back of their necks to steal their should so your not a murder. I'll tell Koenma that and you will come with me."

"I'm still a thief; I'll get the death sentence for stealing!"

"I didn't."

"True but you may up for your mistakes."

"You said you guarded a village right?"

"Yes; since you and Kuronue left me all lone in Makai."

"So you protected that village; that's a good sin."

"But I killed every demon that tried to hurt the villagers. Isn't that bad?"

"Yes but you have a good reason too."

"Still…I don't think Koenma will let me go that easily."

"Don't worry about it."

"What do you mean you didn't get her?" Noruti asked. He had return to his house in Makai.

"She killed most of us and Youko was there sir," the demon said scare.

"The famous Youko Kurama; Kuronue's partner and Kurona's love?"

"Yes but in his human form."

"My plan is only got more perfect. I'm going down to see our prisoner."

"Be careful sir. He is a rough one." Noruti walked out of the room and down the hall. There he got in an elevator, put in a password and went down to the lowest room. The door opened and it was pitch black. You couldn't see unless you could see through the dark. Noruti opened the first cell, walked in and closed the door. You could heard chains moving so a person was in the cell. "Wake up," Noruti said.

"What the hell do you want?" the figure asked. By the sound of the person's voice, it was male.

"Don't you want to know anything about Kurona?"

"WHAT HAVE YOU DONE WITH HER?"

"Nothing…yet; be a good bat and I'll let you see her."

"You will let me see her now!"

"I don't have her now. But as I said, be good and I'll let you see her."

"Why do you want me?"

"Because she stole something from me; I've told you that. Until she gives it back, you are my bait."

"You have the wrong person. She would never steal."

"Oh really; you know the mirror I had. The one that can take your soul away again?"

"Yes so what?"

"I haven't taken your soul away again yet have I?"

"No."

"So I don't have the mirror. I would have taken it by now don't you think? Don't answer that. She'll be mine soon."

"Harm her and I'll kill you."

"I would dare harm Kuronue's little sister. In fact, I never dream of it, KURONUE!"
