Remember everyone's ages are a year or two older than they where in the anime.
I don't own anything except Sora.
Chapter 3 Flashback
(Normal Point of View)
Sora was walking to her temporary home after she left Yusuke and Boton.
'Why would he give back the mirror? If he uses it, then his life would be taken to fulfill his wish.'
"You're trying to figure out my motives aren't you?" said a voice behind her. Sora turned around and saw Kurama.
"Yes, but why are you following me?"
"I was hoping you would answer some questions for me?" Kurama replied. Sora said coolly, "I will if you answer some of mine."
"Reasonable enough." Kurama said as he walked to her side as she started to walk off.
They walked for a few blocks until they came to an abandoned building. The windows were broken, there was no electricity or running water, and it looked like it was about to fall apart.
"This is where you're living?" Kurama asked with disbelief. "For now it is. Come on, we can talk on the roof." Sora replied as she walked in.
As they walked through the building, Kurama saw there were puddles and bugs everywhere. The floor even had wholes in them.
'How can she live in this dump?'
'Grrrr. I thought she was living with the old hag still.' Yoko said displeased.
"Hurry up! We need to take the stairs to get to the roof." Sora said over her shoulder as she continued down the disgusting hall way. They went up the stairs and soon got on the roof. The sun was setting and the view of city was breath taking. Kurama looked to the side and saw a sleeping bag, two bags, and a book.
"I sleep up here if you are wondering. I can't stand being in this building for very long. The only reason I am still here is because it is the only place men won't follow me." Sora said as she leaned on the railing.
'I still don't accept her staying here.' Yoko mumbled.
"I can see why you like it up here. The view is amazing." Kurama said as he ignored Yoko.
Kurama walked over and stood next to Sora before he said, "Now can you tell me who you are?"
"Before I tell you, you need to tell me how Yoko died and why he is still in a human body."
Kurama was speechless. 'Hahahahah. Little vixen still is as smart as always.'
"How do you know?"
"Well, you have the same sprit energy as him and I guessed he made some stupid mistake to get himself killed." Sora said as it was not a big deal.
"I see. As for how Yoko died and why he still is sharing a body with, you will have to fix out tomorrow." Kurama said.
Sora gave him a look and said, "Obviously Yoko kept you in the dark about me when you ran in to me the other day."
"Yes. Can you please explain who you are and why would you think Yoko won't talk about you."
"How about I show you my memories instead? It would be easier and take less time than talking." Sora said.
"Alright." Kurama said after he thought about it for a minute.
Sora sat down and motioned Kurama to sit in front of her. Kurama sat in front of her and waited for her to do something. Sora closed her eyes and meditated for about a minute before she took Kurama's hand in hers and said. "Close your eyes and relax." Kurama did what he was told.
-(Sora's memories)-
Kurama saw he was floating in white fog. 'Where am I?' 'We are in Sora's mind. Now just watch.' That saw all Yoko could say before the fog cleared and Kurama saw a 13 year old looking Sora walking around the forest in a cloak. She looked upset and determined at the same time. She was looking for something by the looks of things. She walked around the forest for about ten minutes until she said "Found it!"
She picked up a white and black colored lily. She had a cute little smile on her face. She was about to walk back where she came until she heard, "Now why is a princess in my domain?" in a deep voice.
Sora was on high alert as she looked around for the owner of the voice. "Sorry if I was intruded but I was looking for a Panda lily. I will be leaving now." She said as she tried to walk away. Before she got far, a tall muscular silver fox demon appeared in front of her. The fox demon was Yoko Kurama, the king of thieves.
"What use would you have for such a rare flower, princess Sora?" Yoko said as he stepped closer to her. Sora glared at him and stood her ground. "Why would you want to know?" was all she said. 'Why do I feel comfortable near him and why aren't the vines killing him like all the others?'
Kurama heard this and thought, 'I get it. We can hear all of her thoughts that she remembered thinking at the time.'
Yoko smirked, "You're in my territory and everything here I own. I am not one to let people steal people steal what is mine." was all he said before he grabbed Sora and pinned her to a tree. Sora was struggling to get out of his grip but she couldn't. 'Why is the stupid mark not working when I need it?'
Yoko was smirking. "Sora, I know you are stronger than this. Why don't you use your true strength?" He whispered in her ear. Sora continued to struggle but started to cry. 'Why am I crying in front of him? I never let anyone see me cry.' Yoko smelled the tears and backed of a bit but still had her pinned to the tree. "Why are you crying?" he asked fully concerned about her.
Sora didn't look at him. Yoko grabbed her chin and gently had her face him. "Tell me what is causing you this pain." He said a little more forceful. Sora looked up him and said," Why do you want to know?" she said in a small voice. Yoko just looked at her and grabbed herwrist and showed her the mark on her wrist. It was a silver rose with one green leaf attached to it. "You honestly don't remember who gave this mark that protected you from every male that dared try to mate you." Sora looked down and said, "No, I don't. But why isn't working on you?" Yoko let go of her wrist and showed her his. Sora looked at his wrist and saw two little angel wings on it. 'It can't be! That's my mark and I put that on my mate to be when I was a kid!' Sora thought in shock. 'It makes sense now! The vines not killing him, me being comfortable near him, and the fact he is actually concerned about me.'
Kurama was now on shock. Sora and Yoko marked each other to be their mate! "She's your mate!" Kurama said. 'No we aren't mates. Now be quiet and pay attention.' Yoko replied.
"Now, tell me, why you are crying." Yoko said. Sora looked at him and said, "Nee-chan died committing suicide the night before her wedding that father arranged against her will and then father tried getting me to take her place. I said no and mother told him no since she didn't want to lose another daughter, but he planed behind her back to marry me off." Sora was hiccupping and crying but continued, "I found the contract that father used to marry me off. It said in exchange for power and fame my intended had to get my pregnant and have me produce an unstoppable army to stop the apocalypse. Also I can't mate anyone else. I refused and father disowned me and had my demon abilities sealed away so I am human in hopes of having me to bend to his will. So now I can't go home, Mother doesn't even know the truth to why I am gone, and my nee-chan is dead." Sora was crying and sobbing.
Yoko looked like he wanted to kill something, but he hugged Sora as she cried in his chest. He ran his claws through her hair to calm her down. When Sora stopped crying Yoko said, "I can help you get out of Spirit world but you have to promise me that in about fifty years to meet up with me so we can break that contract your baka father has foolishly made." Sora looked up at him. "I promise as long as you don't do something stupid until we meet again." Yoko just smiled and picked her up bridal style. "I'll try." He said as they vanished with out a trace. Then, the fog came back and then everything was black.
-(real world)-
Kurama opened his eyes and sat there in shock. 'I never knew she went through so much, also that you marked her as your intended Yoko.'
'She's my soul mate but her baka father has made it very difficult for me to breaker her from that bloody contract.'
'But she had her powers sealed away, how does she have them now?'
'We found some one to partially break the seal so she can access and least some of her powers to defend her self.'
"Are you ok? I know finding out your other half, basically, has had a mate to be can be a bit overwhelming." Sora said as she got up.
"Yes, I never would have thought Yoko would ever take a mate is all." Kurama said as he got up.
Sora laughed, "Yes, that's true." Sora looked at the sky. "I recommend you leave now. There is a police officer that sometimes comes here to make sure no one has destroyed the building even worse than it is already."
'No! We are not letting her stay here.'
"Sora, no offences, but do you think you should be staying here?" Kurama said in hopes to get her to agree to sleep some where else tonight.
"Yoko is bugging you about me living here isn't he?" Sora said as she pulled out some trail mix to eat.
"Well he doesn't like the accommodations you're living at the time and would appreciate if you allow us to set you up a better place to live." Kurama said as he rubbed the back of his neck. Sora came up to him and hugged him. "Thank you for caring but this will be my last night here. Knowing Yoko he would have us sleeping in the same bed and I think that will be very uncomfortable for both of us and Hiei would try to attack me if he saw us near each other. I will find an apartment tomorrow if it makes you feel better."
"Thank you. You got Yoko to calm down but he still doesn't want you sleeping here tonight." Kurama said as he got out of her death-grip hug. "I will get a job tonight, then." She said leaving no room for argument. Kurama sighed in defeat. "Ok, bring your things tomorrow." was all he said before he went down the stairs and out of the building.
