"Wow, Kanade, this is fantastic!" Kurama said, placing his chop sticks next to his empty bowl. Kanade laughed as she finished the rest of her own food. "Surly your just saying that Shuichi. I just learned to make this yesterday." She said, taking up the dishes and putting them in the sink. "Well, you certainly perfected it." Kurama said, standing up. "Can we go to your room for a moment? I need to do something." He said. Kanade quirked an eyebrow. "O sure Shuichi, that doesn't sound weird at all. A guy I only met yesterday asking to go in my room for a mysterious reason." She said slyly as she led him up the stairs to her room. "Here we are, what do you want?" She asked. Kurama immediately went to her window and looked down. "Ahh yes this will do nicely." He said. He pulled three seeds from his sleeve and threw them into the window flowerbox. The plants grew into lovely flowers. "Well Shuichi, you certainly have a green thumb." Kanade said in awe. He chuckled at her humor. "Yes I guess I do don't I? These will protect you from lower class demons. Your mother and myself can easily pass through the barrier I have just placed around your room, as can you. You will be protected while you sleep while I'm gone." He said. Kanade nodded and sat abruptly on her bed. "Are you alright?" He asked her walking over to her and putting a hand on her shoulder. "I never knew my mother was a demon, or that I was a half demon. She's done such a good job of concealing her energy. I never would have guessed." She said, looking down at her feet. Kurama's eyes widened. "You mean you didn't know until Genkai had stated it?" he asked, surprised. "Yes that is correct. Now that I have found out, I feel rather foolish and blind. How could I not have seen it?" She said, putting her head in her hands. "Kanade-" Suddenly the front door slammed open. Kanade gasped. "My mother! I'm supposed to be in school!" Kanade whispered. Kurama's eyes hardened as he looked to the door. "Do you trust me?" he asked, Kanade nodded once. Before she could blink, Kurama had his arm wrapped around her waist and they were flying out her window. Kanade bit into her lip to keep from screaming in surprise. They landed below her window and he carried her as he ran around her house to the front and a few blocks down the road and stopped. He let her down slowly, feeling her legs had gone numb in surprise. "Are you alright?" he asked. She nodded, stunned. "Thank you." She said shakily. He smiled down at her. "Kurama!" A voice called. Both turned to see a boy with hair as brilliant orange as Kanade's in a white T-shirt and jeans. "Kuwabara, what are you doing here?" Kurama asked. "Botan came by my house earlier today with some crazy news and I know you're not gonna like it." Kuwabara said. Kurama's eye brows came together in concern and curiosity. "What's happened?" he asked. "Someone murdered the new king of Demon World. It's gone completely hectic down there and all the demons want to attack Human World. They say they're after some ring or whatever. Dragon circle or what not." He said. His eyes caught on Kanade and he gave a goofy grin. "Hey Kurama whose your pretty friend?" he asked, his cheeks bright pink and his eyes tiny lines from smiling so big. "O please this is hardly the time!" Kanade yelled. Kurama was in deep thought, ignoring the two. "This is just as I feared. Kanade, Kuwabara, We need to go to Yusuke's house. Now." He said, grabbing Kanade's wrist and pulling her towards Yusuke's house. "Hey wait Kurama! Urameshi isn't here!" Kuwabara called as he ran after them. Kurama stopped and spun around to stare at Kuwabara in shock. "He isn't? You mean he already went to Demon World?" Kurama exclaimed. "Yeah. Not that I blame him though. I mean the guy that was killed is a good friend of his old man. " Kuwabara said. Kanade covered her mouth as she gasped. "How awful." She whispered. Kurama clenched his jaw in anger and irritation. "Kuwabara, I need to get to Demon World as well. I need you to watch over Kanade while I'm gone." He said. "Whoa, wait a second! What about those fancy flowers? I thought they'd protect me while you are gone? Not this flirt!" Kanade exclaimed. "Yeah Kurama. I mean I know she's your girlfriend and all but I think she'd be fine alone for a few days. She's just a human and there isn't complete chaos down there." Kuwabara said, not excited about staying with this strange girl. Any friend of Kurama's was weird and talked funny, and were smart. "Just a human? Are you serious?" Kanade yelled, putting a hand on her hip in irritation. Kurama patted her shoulder. "Kuwabara, she is the one the demons are looking for." He said Kuwabara's eyes widened. "what? How? She doesn't look like a ring." Kuwabara said. Kanade slapped her hand to her forehead. "No she has the Demon Band." Kurama said.
