"You dare pretend to be he who spawned me, a hated foreign half demon!"
I bellowed, as all sense of courtesy abandoned my mind. Kurama and his friends overstepped their bounds by accosting me, but when he openly admitted to being the man that had brought sorrow upon my mother—he had crossed a line. I was already feeling upset at having been abandoned by my teammates, but to have to listen to these words was too much to bear.
His skin paled then, changing from its creamy color to a now sickly pallor. My words had upset him though I could care less. We stared at each other silently, as if sizing up a potential opponent. I drew my rose whip and he drew his. Raising the formidable weapon towards the sky, I sent a shockwave of purifying chi through the vine. Kurama had softly begun to speak while his eyes had never drifted from me.
"I realize now that you'll never believe me as I am in this human body. Your presence will be sufficient in helping me change into Youko. I cannot help but desire to be around my kit in my most natural form."
Yusuke and the homely orange haired boy had already begun to move out of the way. The three girls and the woman who accompanied them began to creep off to the side. The only one still standing close by was the three eyed boy Hiei. I glared at him but he returned my frosty gaze with a scowl that could rival my own. Apparently he was eager for this new spectacle to show itself. I wondered then what Kurama was doing that would cause the Dark Tournament winner to back off with apprehension.
As we stood in the beautiful meadow of Hanging Neck Island, the sky seemed to darken and suddenly a white fog enveloped us all. Kurama was nowhere to be seen, but I sensed a huge surge of demon energy from out of nowhere. Lightning struck in the mist, and as the fog dissipated, I could see a lone figure emerge. Clothed in white silk knee length pants and a matching tunic stood a fox demon with amber eyes similar in color to my own.
His long hair was a beautiful light lavender color while his furry ears and tail were that same hue. He sent me a smile that sent a cold shiver down my spine. My knees shook, and for a moment I actually wondered if what Kurama was telling the truth. He walked towards me arms crossed and with each step he took closer, I took a step back. I silently cursed my trembling knees. He reached for my left ear, attempting to give it a tug. I slipped out of his reach just in time.
"You don't have to be afraid dear, Daddy's home."
The deep timber of his voice did not relax me, and I knew then that Kurama was no more, for in his place stood the man that I had searched my entire life for. Here was the man that I had long to kill in order to avenge my mother. Now that I did face him, what was I to do? It was at that moment I had become what I hated most—a weak frightened woman at the mercy of a cold hearted male.
