Chapter 4 ~ The end of happy days

Several years later had the relationship between Kurama and Yuki reached a level, in which those two trusted each other without any doubts and the Demon Fox stayed now most likely in his human form, though Yuki told him she wouldn´t mind if he´d look like his real self. He appreciated her tolerance, but it was easier to meet her when he appeared like everybody else.

On a windy day during autumn, met the two of them at the edge of the Forest, since Yuki, who had become a beautiful young woman, had to tell her big Brother something. With happiness sparkling in her blue eyes, she glanced at her orange-haired friend, who asked:

"What are those big news you were talking about?"

The black-haired female grabbed Kurama´s hand and laid it on her belly, while she had a broad grin on her face. Enthused she answered:

"I´m pregnant Kurama!"

His eyes widened in shock and surprise, since he only knew that she had met a young man a while ago, who she called her boyfriend since nearly a year now. With his mouth standing lightly open, he kept starring at the smaller woman in front of him, while she was still smiling at him. After a while he finally found his voice again and said:

"C- Congratulations!"

He embraced his little Sister tightly, while she told him:

"And you´ll be his Uncle!"

A bit bewildered he looked at her.

"What?"

"Yes, you´re my big Brother, so that makes you his or her Uncle…"

The Demon Fox tilted his head a little bit, as the black-haired woman continued:

"Besides that I would´ve liked you to be a part of the Child's life as well, since you were such a good Brother for me…"

"Yuki, I-"

This whole situation was too much for him, but just because he asked himself if the child would actually like him. Yuki, who saw the doubts in Kurama´s eyes, laid a hand on his shoulder and said:

"You´re wonderful Kurama, and I bet my child will love you just as much as I do…"

Smiling he nodded and promised her to be there for the child, though he would´ve to make a decision then. To be together with Yuki and the child, he had to stay in his human form and wouldn´t probably turn into the Kyuubi again, but was that something bad? If he could be together with the person he adored and loved the most, this was just a small sacrifice.

Months passed, and Kurama even visited his little Sister at home to meet the father of her child. It was a nice young man, what calmed him down a bit since he knew Yuki was in good hands with him.

"Oh look, it´s kicking in my belly!"

The orange-haired man placed his hand carefully on her stomach, where he felt a light kick and was surprised that he could feel it so intensively. Her belly was already quite huge, since the child would be born within the next few days. Kurama had to admit that he was excited because of the birth and couldn´t wait to see the little baby, who maybe had the same looks as his Mother.

A few days later was the Demon fox impatiently waiting for his little Sister, who had given birth to the child just two days ago. When he saw her coming, he walked quickly towards her and his gaze fell immediately on the baby she held on her arms. With a warm smile she said:

"Kurama, this is Natsuhiko…"

Kurama felt a warm feeling inside, while he examined the cutest thing he had ever seen. The young boy was so tiny and had short black hair, just like his mother. Yuki carefully gave Natsuhiko to her elder brother, who nearly didn´t dare to touch the child, because he feared he could hurt him. In the end he held him tenderly and was smiling while he was doing it.

"Yuki, I made up my mind and I want to stay with you and Natsuhiko…"

The black-haired girl glanced surprised at him, while she then smiled brightly.

"That means we´ll be a real family and Natsuhiko can grow up with his mighty Uncle beside him!"

She giggled and Kurama also chuckled a bit because of her statement. Later on he told her that he´d stay just one more night in his Demon Fox form, and from tomorrow on he´d live with her and her family as a human.

During night he could only think about his new life and how it would be to live with other humans. Would they be as friendly to him as she was?

A strange noise made him open his crimson red eyes, while he then saw a black-haired man standing in front of him. This man´s Chakra had an evil presence, so much could he tell, but what could he want from him?

The man suddenly spoke to him and explained that he was Madara Uchiha and that he´d use him to destroy his former Village Konoha, since Kurama wasn´t anything else than a threat who destroyed Villages on his own, so he also could be used as a weapon. Those words of Madara made Kurama become angry, and he was about to attack as the Uchiha suddenly activated his Sharingan, with which he brought the Demon Fox under his control, Kurama being unable to do anything against it.

The next things that happened were that he was forced to attack Konoha and fought alongside Madara against a man, called Hashirama Senju. Hashirama, however, defeated the Uchiha and the Demon Fox was at his senses again, willing to leave the battlefield, but Hashirama wouldn´t let him go, since he, just like Madara, saw him just as a threat to this world, which he couldn´t let run around on his own.

On that day lost Kurama his freedom completely, since he was sealed inside of a woman called Mito Uzumaki. The hatred which had become less in those years he had shared with Yuki, came back, all at once and overwhelmed him.

Weeks had passed since Kurama was sealed and Yuki had been waiting for him to return day in day out, but he didn´t come. With tears running down her face, somebody told her that in the Village hidden in the leafs lived a woman who had the Kyuubi sealed inside of her. The black-haired woman knew that Kurama was called by this name from those who didn´t know about his real one, and now she realized that she´d never see her elder brother again.

Kurama still thought often about his little sister, about the wonderful time they spent together and how the girl showed him that hatred wasn´t the only thing he could feel. Well, but know he saw again mankind's cruel and merciless side, which made him believe again that humans were all the same. But he´d surely never forget about the young girl who was different than everybody else…
