Chapter 11:

It was quiet. Kurama stirred in his sleep. Where was he? Suddenly there was quiet noise and Kurama awoke quickly.

"What was that?" He thought blurrily. And he then looked up to see a bird perched on one of the high windows, it quickly fluttered away and left.

He pushed himself onto his hands and knees, sitting up. He looked around and found that he was in a room he had not yet seen. It was warm and bright.

He got up off the bed that he was laying in and walk to the door. But right when he got to the door, he heard a voice call his name. Yomi's voice.

"Kurama, where are you going?"

Kurama looked down to his feet and scuffed the wooden floor. He didn't want to lie, really. But Yomi was giving him no choice. He couldn't keep saying the same thing, but he also had nothing more to say.

"I…don't know, Yomi," he said innocently.

Yomi looked at him skeptically. "Oh really now?"

"Yes, really," Kurama said back, trying not to be frustrated.

There was a short and uncomfortable moment of silence.

"You're not as innocent as you portray yourself to be, are you, Kurama?"

Kurama was taken aback by that statement. What did he mean? Did that mean he saw though his act? Kurama inwardly groaned, this could really ruin everything. But all because Yomi was skeptical doesn't mean all was lost just yet. He quickly thought fast to stall there conversation and buy some much needed time.

"Whatever do you mean?"

Then Kurama mentally scolded himself, he had answer too naïve and innocent. The fact that it was very fake was just as clear to himself as he believed it to be to Yomi. But he hoped that Yomi would disregard it.

"Because," Yomi said with reason in his voice, almost sounding hurt. "I've heard about you, where you supposedly work,"

"Where I work…?" Kurama repeated slowly.

Then it hit him. He was talking about the Spirit World. He mentally swore. How did he figure that out? He was caught of guard and he couldn't even hide the surprise on his face. If Yomi knew for certain, there was no chance of getting out.

"W-what are you talking about?"

"Kurama…you know what I'm talking about,"

"No! No, I don't know what you're talking about," Kurama shouted desperately.

"Yes you do, stop acting like this," he said firmly.

Kurama stopped abruptly and looked towards the ground in a mix of anger and shame. A long silence went by until Yomi spoke.

"I don't know why you want to leave so badly, it wouldn't be so bad to stay here,"

Kurama couldn't believe what he was hearing, was he really going to try and persuade him to stay on his own will? He couldn't let that happen, he couldn't leave his other life behind.

"But I can't! I can't jut sit here and act as a toy for…for "him!"

"What do you mean?" Asked Yomi, almost mocking Kurama's false naïve act.

Kurama narrowed his eyes. "You know perfectly well what I mean, Yomi," he said harshly.

"Yes, I guess I do. But you are very…pretty. Can you honestly blame him?"

Kurama gave him a dirty look and then glanced away quickly. He put his hands in his pocket and gave a forlorn sigh. He was getting very tired of comments like that.

After a long silence, Yomi spoke again.

"And besides, he wouldn't want you in that way,"

Kurama looked up curiously. "What's that supposed to mean?"

"You know…he does have Kuronue,"

Kurama pondered about the meaning of this for a second, it didn't take long for him to understand it.

"You mean…he…and him…?" Kurama questioned with wide eyes.

"Yup"

Another long silence passed and Kurama stood there, uncomfortable with the new piece of information. So once again, Yomi was forced to say something.

"He just looks at you as a…possession, if you will. But he's growing attached to you rather quickly, so I'll just say I don't know how he feels about you,"

"Umm…thanks," Kurama murmured quietly. He was still very much uncomfortable on the topic, and Yomi could easily tell that.

"Now, why don't you go to sleep, Kurama? It's still very early, you must be tired,"

Kurama looked up with a short smile.

"Yes, I think I will do that, thank you,"

Kurama turned around and started back to his bed as he felt Yomi watch him. But then he heard Yomi start to follow him...

There! I finally got a new chapter in! Sorry if it sucks, Karasu's going to be a the next one, so I just want to say sorry to who ever hates him, I heart him! 3
