The Childhood Friend of Kurama Part 13: Abductions and Anger Part 2
"Did you just threaten me? Ha, don't make me laugh."
I narrowed my eyes and extended my claws.
"I will make good on my threats, you mangy wolf. You chose to cross me, and now you'll pay for it."
"Let's see what you can do, then."
With that, the battle began. I slashed at him with my claws while Yusuke gave him a couple Spirit Guns.
"Damn, what's with this guy? We give him all kinds of blows and he isn't flinching or anything."
"Every enemy has a weakness, Yusuke. We must find it before we run out of energy."
"Good idea."
With help from Hiei and Kuwabara, we were able to gain a slight advantage over the wolf demon.
"Impressive, but as you can see I'm still alive."
"I guess we'll have to do something about that, won't we?"
As the battle raged on, I noticed he was quickly losing energy and decided to take advantage of it. I viciously swiped at him with my claws, causing his blood to come out of every single wound. Seeing how angry I was, the others stepped back so they wouldn't be caught in the middle. All I could think of was that Shuichi was hurting and I needed this vermin gone in order to fix everything.
Ayame's POV:
I woke up and noticed bruises were all over my body and my pants were in ruins. I then remembered what happened. After we were abducted, I woke up and tried fighting the wolf demon in a chance to escape. It resulted in me falling unconscious again.
"Mama? Where are you, Mama?"
I looked to my right and saw Keikoku with a blindfold covering her eyes. I took it off and held her tightly.
"It's okay, love. I'm right here."
"Mama, you're hurt. The bad man hurt you."
"It's okay. I fought him so he wouldn't hurt you."
It amazed me that she could talk even thought she was only 100 in demon years, but Kurama once mentioned demon children develop faster than human children.
"Let's see if we can get out of here without being seen."
Once outside of the cave, I looked around and saw the wolf demon fighting with a fox demon with silver hair.
"Kurama..."
Seeing the others with him, I knew they were here to help us.
"Hey, there they are!"
Hiei swiftly approached and carried us to where the fight was happening.
"Thanks, Hiei.I owe you. With all the bruises on my body, my body would've ached too much for me to move on my own."
"I'll hold you to that."
"Damn your interference, human lovers! This ends now!"
Yoko slashed at him a few more times until I could feel the wolf demons energy begin to disappear.
"Yusuke, take Keikoku. I have to stop him."
"Do you think it's a good idea?"
"I don't want Kurama killing anyone and being guilty for the rest of his life for it, especially when Keikoku and I are still alive."
"Okay, then. Just be careful."
I carefully approached Yoko and gently touched his arm.
Kurama's POV:
I felt a calming presence approach me, and it caused me to change back into my human form.
"Kurama, don't do it."
"Ayame?"
She nodded and stood between me and the wolf demon that abducted her.
"I know he wronged you by taking me and Keikoku, but killing him will only make you as ruthless as he is. You don't want that for yourself, do you?"
My fury diminished and I looked at her closely.
"You're injured."
"Just a few bruises, is all. Other than that, I'm totally fine."
Mindful of her wounds, I held her to me tightly.
"Kurama?"
"I thought I'd lose you, Ayame. I don't think I've ever been so scared in my life."
I smiled as she held me back.
"I'm here, now, and I'm okay."
"What about our little friend here?"
I looked at Hiei as he had his sword ready to deliver the killing blow. Without letting go of Ayame, I glared at the wolf demon.
"With all the injuries he has, he certainly won't live to see tomorrow. Let's just leave him here to die."
Ayame nodded in agreement as a portal to Spirit World opened.
"I agree. Let's just go home."
Once in Spirit World, Ayame gasped as she saw all the boxes in Koenma's living room.
"Surprised?"
"What's everybody's stuff doing here?"
"Binky Breath decided we could all move in here."
"Really? That's great!"
I pulled Ayame aside so I can inspect her more closely.
"These bruises are nothing major, so they should heal fairly quickly. Do you feel any pain?"
"None whatsoever. My body feels sore, but no pain."
I held her to me tightly, thankful she was okay and with me again.
"I hope you don't mind, but I arranged for my room to be by yours."
"I don't mind that at all. That way, you'll always be close to me."
"Exactly."
"I better check on Keikoku and give us both a bath. Fix me some dinner?"
I laughed and watched as she picked up Keikoku.
"Of course. Enjoy yourself."
She then surprised me by kissing my cheek before she walked away.
"Looks like your feelings may be mututal, Fox."
"Hiei, just because she shared that kind of affection with me doesn't mean she feels the same way I do."
"Hn, if you say so."
That's a wrap for part 13. Part 14 will begin in Ayame's POV as she and Keikoku get cleaned up for dinner, which Kurama agreed to make. Also in part 14,Keiko and Yukina invite themselves over for a sleepover. Stay tuned to see what happens
