"Yin…I…"

"No…I understand, Kurama…" She then smiled. "I knew…I never expected you to support our child…I just wanted you to know that you are no longer alone in this world"

Youko-Kurama gave he a surprised look, she smiled, then taking his hand, pressing it against her stomach. Kurama felt a tiny heartbeat, gazing up at Yin, she smiled warmly. "No matter what happens, I shall still love you…"

Kurama opened his eyes, water pouring down on him from the shower head. '…I must have dozed off…'

Kurama wrapped a towel around his hips, entering his bedroom. He passed in front of his bedroom mirror, an angry image of Youko glared at him as he began to dress.

"…This isn't fair, Shuichi…"

Kurama ignored him, pulling on his pants.

"Yin is my lover, yet I only get to see her once…"

"…You know Fawks would kill us if we got to close…"

"…I…don't care…I want to see her again…"

"...I know…but it is far too dangerous…for you, me and Yin…"

"…"

"Shuichi!" Kakota called, knocking on the door. "Mom and dad are ready to go…"

"…Coming!"

Yin entered the class to find a single red rose lying on her desk, picking it up, she blushed, glancing over at Shuichi. Looking up from his book, he smiled, she returned his smile. Several girls glared.

Yin hummed softly, washing her hands in the bathroom sink.

"Yin Nakigami…"

She looked up into the mirror to see several girls standing behind her.

"Come with us"

Fawks stood up, "…Something's not right…"

With that she dashed out of her classroom.

"Fawks! Class isn't over yet!!!" the teacher yelled.

Yin was thrown against the wall of the classroom, she stared up at the older girls, fearfully. "Wh…what do you want from me…"

"Just who the hell do you think you are?!"

"Shuichi-sama belongs to all his fans!"

"Back off, doggie!!!"

Yin then frowned, she stood her ground glaring at the other girls. "Let's get one thing straight, I love Shuichi-sempai. And he loves me back, I'm not going to give up on my love just because a bunch of silly girls are jealous of us!"

"What?!"

"How dare you?!"

"You'll see how vicious we can really be!"

Yin swallowed her fear, backing up a few steps.

"Violence is so unbecoming of young ladies such as yourselves…"

Everyone turned, Yin looked up to find she had back into Kurama.

"…Shuichi-kun…" She whispered. He pushed her behind him in a protective manner. "Also I must ask the fairness, having one fight so many…"

The girls began fidgeting, looking ashamed that they had been caught. "I will let you go this time, but know this, if any of you ever come after Yin again…the pain with be excruciating…"

The girls all gasped and squealed, Yin could have sworn she saw his eyes flash gold and his hair fade to silver.

"F…forgive us!" one of the girls cried as they proceeded to run from the room. Kurama watch them as they went, then turned to smile at Yin. "Perhaps I went a bit over board…"

"Shuichi-kun!!" Yin cried throwing her arms around him. "…Yin…"

"I was scared…I know I talked big…but…" she whispered into his chest. Kurama smiled wrapping his arms protectively around her. A fleeting thought crossed his mind, 'I wonder…if this is how Yin really felt all those times she forced herself to be brave…'

The door flew open with a loud thwack, the two lovers looked up into the angry face of Fawks. "…Sister…" Yin began. "…You…" She hissed.
