"I'm so
happy that you're back,"Nali exclaimed, hugging Kurama
quickly.
"I missed you,"Kurama said,"You're the
only one who cares about plants as much as I do."
Nali
laughed.
"Are you sure it was a good idea to pair Hiei and
Kalia up? They could end up killing each other before midnight."
"It
was a perfect idea,"Kurama said,"Hiei cares about your
sister more than anyone. I know my best friend. They're probably
somewhere just talking."
"So, where are we gonna
go?"Nali asked.
"Lets talk in my room,follow me,"Kurama
said.
Once in his room, they began to talk more. His room was
nice. It smelled of fresh roses.
"Nali?,"Kurama
asked,"What's your favorite animal?"
"A fox, and
I'm not saying that because you're a kitsune,"Nali
answered.
"Why then?"Kurama asked.
"I'll tell
you, but I'll be back in a second,"Nali said.
Nali went into
the hall, leaving the door slightly open. Kurama noticed a cute
little acrtic fox walk in. Kurama went and picked it up. When he sat
down on the bed, he put the fox on his lap. The fox
struggled.
"What's wrong?",Kurama said,
smiling.
"Kurama, put me down,"the fox said.
"You're
so cute,though,"Kurama said.
He hugged the fox.
"Very
funny,"the fox said,"I want to change back now."
"Go
ahead,"Kurama said smirking.
"YOU LITTLE-,"the fox
started, but Kurama kissed it on the nose.
"That was uncalled
for,"the fox said.
"Yeah,but you liked it,"Kurama
said.
"That's the fox part of me,"the fox said,"Are
you positive I have to change back right now? Please let me go."
"I
don't mind,"Kurama said," Unless you're embarrassed."
The
fox barred(sp?) it's teeth.
"Fine."
The next thing
that happened, Nali was on top of Kurama, who was flat on his
back.
"How did you know it was me?,"Nali asked, not
getting up.
"Now I understand why your hair is white,"Kurama
said.
"So, I'm only cute when I'm a fox, huh? What a friend
you are,"Nali said.
"Well, right now you're
beautiful,"said Kurama, looking her in the eye.
Nali blushed.
They both got up so that they were kneeling on his bed. Kurama leaned
forward and kissed Nali.(You thought she'd kiss him, didn't you:)
)
"I want to show you a place near here,"Nali
whispered.
"Lets go then,"Kurama said softly.
So Nali
made a portal and they went through holding hands.
Kalia and Hiei
were sitting on a place overlooking some mountains.
"What
time is it?"Kalia asked.
"2:00,"Hiei replied,"
We have 10 hours till we're wanted back."
"Lets get
something to eat, I'm starved,"Kalia said," I'll be back
with stuff to eat."
She made a portal and 10 minutes later
was back with things to eat.
"I didn't know what you liked so
I got quite a lot of food,"Kalia said.
By 3:00, they had
finished everything she had brought.
"Now we have 9
hours,"Hiei said,"What'll we do till then?"
"I
have no clue,"Kalia said," I want to know
something."
"What?"Hiei asked.
Why is that Baka,
Kuwabara a Spirit Detective and on the team?,"Kalia asked.
Hiei
laughed, a genuine laugh, which stunned Kalia.
"Really, I
have no clue,"Hiei said between laughs.
Kalia started to
laugh along with him. They spent till 8:00 talking about the Spirit
Detectives, Koenma, Boton, and other things. Soon, Kalia started to
yawn.
"You should get some rest. We'll be up past
midnight,"Hiei said.
"I'm not tired,"Kalia said.
30
minutes later, she was asleep. She shivered in the cold mountain air.
Hiei sat against the rock wall and put his arms around her. She woke
slightly.
"Hiei?,"she asked.
"I was wondering,
did you..did you ever fall in love?,"Hiei asked.
"As in,
ever had a boyfriend?,"Kalia asked.
"Yeah,"Hiei
said, nervously.
"Then no,"Kalia said, sleepily,"I've
only had one crush."
Kalia then fell asleep.
-Nali and Kurama's POV-
Kurama and Nali
had spent till 7:00 in a garden looking at all kinds of different
plants.
"Nali?,"Kurama asked.
"Hmm?,"she
answered.
"Do you know this flower?,"Kurama asked,
grinning.
"Of course I do," Nali said,"Don't
you?"
"They look like the ones I saw in the field out
there, but I forgot what they are called,"Kurama lied,
innocently.
"They're called "Forget-Me-Nots," Nali
answered.
"Oh, yeah,"Kurama said,"Do you think you
could get me a portal to my house?"
"Sure," Nalie
said.
When they went through, they were at Kurama's front
door.
"Mom?,"Kurama asked, walking in.
He saw Nali
stay outside the doorway. He grabbed her hand and dragged her inside
the house.
"Shuichi, who is this pretty girl?,"said
Kurama's mom, smiling.
"This is Nali, mom,"Kurama
said,"She went to school with me in Junior High."
"Oh,
nice to meet you, Nali,"his mom said.
"Its nice to meet
you, too,"Nali said, smiling.
They spent till 10:00 PM at
Kurama's house. Nali had fallen asleep while they were talking.
Kurama had carried her upstairs and let her sleep in his room. Kurama
sat in a chair watching her until he had fallen asleep himself. At
11:00, Kurama woke up. He went over and sat on the bed where Nalii
was starting to stir. Kurama tucked some of her hair back, purposely
letting his hand brush her cheek.
Kurama went downstairs to the
kitchen. He was surprised to see his mother still up and sitting at
the kitchen table, drinking some tea.
"Nali asleep?,"his
mother asked, smiling.
"Yes,"Kurama said, turning
red,"What to you think of her?"
"She would make a
nice daughter-in-law," his mom answered.
"WHAT!?,"Kurama
said.
"I know you like her more than a friend, Shuichi,"she
answered,"Did you tell her you like her?"
"No,"Kurama
said,"Mom, what time is it?"
"11:15,"she
said,"If you have to get back, you're gonna have to wake her
up."
Kurama walked upstairs and into his bedroom. When he
looked at Nali, he felt that she was the most beautiful person, or
thing, in the world(or at least in Japan as where they are). He
walked over to ht ebed and shook Nali's shoulder lightly. She woke
slowly.
"We have 45 minutes to stay somewhere before
midnight,"Kurama said,"Where do you want to go?"
"Can
we go back to the garden?,"Nali said, drowsily getting up and
almost falling over.
"Sure,"Kurama chuckled, catching
her.
Once they were through the portal, they were next to a lake
with the moon in clear view on the other side. Its light shining off
the surface of the water, giving off a silver glow to the edges of
the lake.
"Wow,"Kurama whispered.
Nali was smiling,
now fully awake.
"Your mom is very nice,"Nali
said.
"Thanks, I know,"Kurama said,"I never
expected her to teach me how to love, but she did."
"I
understand why you would want to sacrifice your life for her,"Nali
said.
Kurama almost jumped when Nali hugged him. For fun, he
pulled her onto the grass where they started laughing. Then, they
were kissing.
