Chapter 9
Half way there
"Ami, can you please relax?" Kurama tries to sooth you.
"Yeah, calm down Ami, you already shown us today that you are already an important member of the team, even Hiei thinks so." Yusuke says proudly.
"hn." Hiei grunts, not too happy about it.
"You saved Kuwabara's life, all of ours. You don't need to say it, and you can deny it all you want, but at least I know... deep down, you don't want to see us die." Yusuke says.
"hmph." No way you're gonna say it. "That was a fight." Then you say proudly "I am the first to survive that type of demon. Just think of what I am capable of doing to all of you."
"hn... onna, you are capable of a lot. We all know that, you saved us all." Hiei says, "just shut up already. Stop shoving it in our faces, you saved us this once."
Kurama whispers lightly, so soft no one else would ever be able to know he ever said anything, "You saved Yoko's life, does that mean you're free from him?"
You sit there dazed. Unable to think of what it might mean. //No you idiot, she killed me, it doesn't repay for me saving her life, it only repays for her killing me! Don't let her think she is free!!!// -Oh come on Yoko, she's so innocent, you were horrible to her, you robed her of a life so you could be selfish and gain in your own.- //Damn ningen, it's the demon way. She just never lived long enough to learn that before I came along. I kept her unknowing of the world so that she wouldn't get creative, or curious.// -You are horrible.-
"No." You say softly, "it doesn't... I still have to, once more." //Wow, she's so... honest// Kurama smirks on the inside –Almost make you wish you could've been nicer to her?- //Hell no!//
"Well, you will." He gently puts a hand on your face and gently rubs. You aren't sure how to take this gesture, you slowly, slightly shakily pulls your head away, even though it does feel comforting.
"Well." Genkai says aloud, "You'll get better in time. May I check your wounds?"
You growl. "My wounds are fine."
You hear Genkai sigh, "What ever you say. Lets leave her alone for a while."
"What if those spirit people come after her again?" Yusuke asks.
"Well, you guys can stay here if you want, but I'm going to go check on Kuwabara again." You hear Genkai leave and then the others, leaving you sitting alone, blind. Then you can hear in on a conversation being held in what you believe as the sitting room.
"Hey Kurama. Do you have a thing for Ami or something? I saw you touching her lightly." You hear Yusuke's voice.
"It's not that I like her Yusuke, if she allows me to touch her in a caring matter, as to look at her damaged eye like I was doing," Kurama says with a tone, obviously not liking that his friends accused him of touching you for another reason then to check on you. "But if she doesn't retract from my touch when I or one of us is checking a wound, we know we have gained her trust. We feel we can trust her, but it's a horrible thing for it to only be going one way."
"Fox, you make it sound like she's a wild animal." Hiei points out.
"Well If that's how much I have to dumb it down for Yusuke then so be make it sound like I am domesticating an animal." Kurama says. This makes you growl. You lay down and close your eyes, trying to regain your strength.
You quickly regain your sight within the next hour. You get up and look around. :Finally. Damnit.: You get up and walk out of your room. "Are we all training today or what?"
"No, we are all sticking around to see how Kuwabara makes out, he's fine, he's just waking up, but he's a bit dizzy, normal signs, just a bit of a concussion." Kurama explains. You nod, and then, you are gone.

A few months past, lots of training, learning all of their methods and they learning yours, in sword skills anyway. A few months of resting in your uncomfortable tree, never sleeping. Your hair back to normal, and the gang you are slowly stating to allow yourself to believe you are able to trust them. But soon, comes winter, soon comes a time where your friends will need you to save their lives, but it costs you something worse then death.
Hey, I know this chapter is really short, but it's really late and tomorrow is a school day. This is also leading up to a major plot line. I mean MAJOR, but that wont be till maybe a couple of chapters,I think it is really important to emphasize everything that is about to happen to make sure it is clear to anyone that reads. I only know of two people who read, I love them both, and I would really appreciate more replies, even if it states your dislike of it.
