Alright people. Ya'll reviewed so I'm inclined to update. I got one request for the twins bios, but that's enough. They play a semi-important part in the story so...
Dawn& Dusk: Twins. Midnight's younger siblings.
Dawn: Back hair, green eyes. Midnight's younger half-sister. Best friend is Dream. Likes most bright colors and cats. She's a full dragon. She's got a bit of an attitude, but has more respect for authorities than her older half sister, but less respect than her twin. Dawn loves to party and have fun. Has a crush on Dusk's friend Nightmare.
Dusk: Black hair granite eyes. Midnight's younger half-brother, Dawn's twin. Best friend is Dream's brother, Nightmare. He likes to keep to himself, but he likes bright colors. He respects his authorities enough not to get in trouble, but not that he follows all the rules. Has a crush on Dawn's friend Dream.
Dream and Nightmare:
Dream: Blond hair, blue eyes. Dawn's best friend and Nightmare's twin. She's a shadow demon with slight telepathic powers. Has almost the same personality as Dawn, but she likes darker colors. She has a crush on Dusk.
Nightmare: Sandy-blonde hair, grey eyes. He's a shadow demon also, but he doesn't have the telepathic skills of his sister. His personality is identical to Dusk's. Has a crush on Dream.
There ya'll go. The twin's bios. Now, I can start the chapter. Thanks for reviewing, those who did.
.:Midnight P.O.V. :.
I sat staring blankly at the wall. I felt seriously numb. My dad and step-mother, Kassie. Dead? No I couldn't believe it. But Ria wouldn't lie to me. She wasn't like that. That was why I knew it had to be true. I blinked slightly realizing Kurama was sitting next to me.
"Are you alright?" He asked softly. I nodded slightly.
"I...I'll be fine." I murmured quietly. "Tell everyone I sorry, and I'll be in my room." I paused again. "But please, please don't disturb me unless it's an absolute emergency." I turned and rushed up to my room.
I felt seriously sick as I closed my door. I curled up on my bed and hugged my pillow and did something I haven't done in a while. I cried.
Normal P.O.V. W/ the peeps out side.
Kurama stepped outside just as Dream rushed in. The girl rushed into her room slammed the door, and turned music on full volume.
"Kurama. Where's Midnight?" Kat asked.
"She's in her room." He said. Kat nodded and sat down in a lawn chair.
"I can't believe it." Botan said. "Will she still be able to live in the house?"
"Of course." Ria said. "She would take the house anyways. And, here, her age doesn't really matter."
"I can't believe this happened." Keiko said.
"We should probably tell Dusk." Dream said, a hint of regret in her voice. The blonde shadow demon gave a grim look and walked toward the boys. She returned about five minutes later with the same grim expression.
"Well, he took it surprisingly well. I'm going to go talk to him again, and Nightmare'll talk to Dream to see if he can calm her down. And Ria? Dusk says you're welcome to stay." Dream said quickly, before turning away.
The rest of the group nodded.(Kurama, Kat, Kieko, Ria, Yukina, Botan, and Hiei who was there for some reason)
Kat sighed slightly. "I would try to talk to Midnight, but talking to her doesn't usually work. But I'm not a nice understanding person." The girl shrugged. "I don't have the patience. Now maybe if you talked to her Kurama. But that's only if you're willing to deal with her for probably a couple of hours."
Botan piped up. "She's right Kurama. If anyone could get her to calm down a little it would be you." Kurama nodded slightly.
"I'll try."
. : Midnight P.O.V.:.
I'd stopped crying by the time I heard a knock at my door. I sat up slightly. "Come in." I muttered quietly. Kurama stepped cautiously into my room. I smiled slightly. "Welcome to my sanctuary." I said quietly. "C'mon. Sit. I'm not going to bite." I indicated to the chair in front of my computer.
"S'up?" I asked.
"Kat said I'd be the best person to talk to you. Why, I wouldn't know." He replied.
I smiled slightly. "Three reasons. One, anyone else who'd talk to me would either give sympathy or blow up at me. Two, she's figured out I trust you and won't blow up at you. Three...." Three, she knows I like you. I couldn't tell him that! "Well the third reason doesn't matter."
"Are you going to be alright?" He asked. So considerate, yet not with sympathy. It just seemed like he actually cared. I really don't believe in love at first sight, but maybe a crush at first sight was possible.
"I'll be fine." I murmured. Then a thought stuck me. "Hey, would you mind sitting on the roof with me? Just to talk or something?"
Kurama looked slightly surprised, but hid his surprise quickly. "Sure." I grinned slightly, stood and opened my window.
"C'mon." I said climbing out. Kurama followed as I scrambled onto the roof above my window. From here I had a view of the forest behind my house, my rose bush, and the sky. "Nice view, huh? This is where I always come when I need to think. Feel honored I brought you here."
Kurama nodded with a slight smile. We sat silently for a while just watching. Every so often, I snuck a look a Kurama. The red haired boy was so complicated. I just couldn't figure him out.
He was smart, considerate, and really cute, but no one was that perfect. He seemed to have a darker side or a dark past. Something he didn't let show around others.
As I thought over my options of how to find out the truth, my brain settled on the most direct option.
"Kurama, do you have some big dark secret about your past?" The words tumbled from my lips before I could think much about them. He gave me a slightly surprised look.
"Why do you ask?" He replied.
I shrugged. "You just seem to perfect. Like you're trying to make up for something in the past."
Kurama sighed slightly. "I do have a history. It's a bit boring. Are you sure you want to hear it?"
"Of course!" I snapped. "You've hinted to me about a story, now tell, or natural curiosity will have me nagging at you until you tell me."
Kurama laughed. "Fine, fine. I'll tell you. I used to be a fox youki named Yoko Kurama. He was the best thief in Maiki. 16 years ago, I fell into a trap, that proved to be fatal. I fled to the human world and was reborn as a human boy. I figured by age ten as a human I would be able to regain my full power, but my human mother fell ill. I couln't leave her after the kindness she'd given me. I teamed up with Hiei to steal some artifacts from Koenma. I stole the forlorn hope because I knew it had the power to grant the wish of the beholder, but at a price." I cut him off with a quick kiss on the lips.
"I said your past. Being a famous thief is the past." I said. I honestly couldn't believe what I'd just done. Kurama didn't look all to surprised, but I'd found that surprising Kurama was a pretty hard thing to do. He just nodded slightly.
I just looked at him for a full minute before working up the courage for what I was going to do.
"Hey Kurama?" I said quietly.
"Hm?" He said turning towards me. Without thinking I leaned towards him and kissed him on the lips.
There Ya'll go. I hope you enjoyed the chapter. I had one review I forgot to mention, that surprised me no one had said it before. When Hiei told Kat about Yukina, well, she would have nagged until he did tell her so I just made it easier on myself. Until next time!
