Kurama stood on the roof of the school gazing at the sunset.
"Kurama, what's up, I've been looking all over for you…" Yusuke began, but stopped when he saw the look on his friends face.
"…Kurama…what's wrong…"
Kurama smiled sadly, hiding his eyes in his bangs, "Let…me tell you a story…Yusuke…"
"Once, a very long time ago, a bandit kidnapped a beautiful princess, the most beautiful in the entire demon world. The princess was kind, just and stubborn to the bandits demands…"
Yusuke looked at Kurama in confusion.
"…But despite everything, they…fell in love…"
Flashback…
"I don't get it, Kurama. It's been over a month, why are you still dragging that girl around?" Kuronue asked as the pair sat high in a tree. Night had fallen and Kuronue was on the look out. "It's not as if her presence is bothersome, in fact, everyone seems more relaxed when she's around…" Youko replied.
"You're right…it's just so unlike you to keep a wench around for so long without even sleeping with her…"
Youko smirked at his friend's comment, "You're right, it is unlike me…"
With that he jumped down from the tree, walking back to camp
Yin looked up as he entered the room, "Kurama!"
He couldn't help but smile at the happy expression on her face from seeing him.
She even got up to embrace him, "How are you fairing?"
"Fine and thank you for the beautiful flowers you always bring me…" Yin smiled. But this smile brought forth a whole other feeling, Kurama began to feel a stirring in his loins. Growling he pulled away from her.
"Kurama, what is it?" Yin called placing a hand on his shoulder. "I…It's nothing…I should go…" he began to leave the tent.
"…Kurama…" Yin's voice beckoned sweetly, it was followed by the sound of heavy clothe falling to the floor. Turning, his eyes nearly popped out of his head, there Yin stood, clothed in air. Not a sigh of embarrassment marred her beautiful features.
"…You can have me now…if you still want me…" she whispered.
Youko came closer to her, caressing her cheek. "Are you certain?"
Yin smiled softly, "Yes…because I love you…"
Youko returned her smile kissing her passionately.
…End Flashback
"…and so the two shared their love…But doing so held many repercussions. The young princess became pregnant, knowing her lover could neither support her nor their family, she returned to her palace. But as soon as her pregnancy was discovered…the bastard had her put to death…"
Flashback…
"Kurama, Kurama!" Yomi yelled. "What is it, news of Yin?"
"Yes…she's gonna be beheaded, her father put her to death!"
Youko's eyes went wide, he dashed towards the castle, the walls coming into view. He leapt them in a single bound, he reached the top in time to see Yin on her knees, her neck on a chopping block. The executioner had his sword raised above her, as if sensing him, Yin turned her head slightly. She smiled when she saw him, the sword was brought down severing her head from her body. It rolled across the ground before coming to a stop.
"…Yin…YIN!!!!!!"
…End Flashback
"…the bandit arrived in time to see his lover and child slaughtered all at once… after that, the bandit took on his spirit form, fleeing to spirit world to be close to the soul of the one he loved…only to find her soul to be missing…the end" Kurama finished.
"Why…are you telling me this?" Yusuke asked.
"Because…I think I've found the princess's soul…"
