It was a few days after the parties. It was hard to say if they were a success or not. After they defeated Rei and eventually sedated him (with food of course), everything went smoothly. They combined their parties into one and went back to Genkai's.

Their respective friend groups began to get along as well. Time would only tell if these friendships they formed would last. Eventually everyone had to go home and things would return to normal.

At least as normal as they could be for Kurama and Crowama.

Currently they were at school having their lunch. Kurama was seated at his desk and Crowama was sitting on top of it. At this rate, she kept not bringing her lunch so Kurama kept making a separate box for her. Otherwise she'd keep stealing food off his lunch like an actual bird.

She would be quick about it too, using her forefinger and thumb to snatch up any little bit she could have. Kurama didn't have the heart to stop her.

At least now Crowama had her own meal.

He watched her happily eating, swinging her feet from his desk. The sight made him content. Since the party it was finally set in that Crowama was truly his fiance and that he loved her.

Crowama finished off her meal, oblivious to Kurama's eyes on her. She closed her lunch box and pulled out a clear plastic of sweets. She then turned to Kurama as she opened the plastic. "Suichi Dear, say ah—"

Before he could do so, he had to ask. "What is it?"

"Candies Miss Sakura gifted me," Crowama replies.

Kurama remembered Miss Sakura from the party and also as the woman who gifted Crowama her human form.

"Now will you have one?" Crowama lifted one up in her hands. It was a purple and spherical hard candy with a gooey center. She held it up to his mouth. "Ah?"

Everyone in the classroom was watching them. Either he embarrasses Crowama by not eating the candy or embarrasses himself by eating the candy in front of everyone.

And he certainly did not want one of those to happen.

He got over his apprehension and opened his mouth. "Ahh—" Crowama plopped the candy in his mouth.

As soon as the taste of the candy touched his tongue, Kurama blanked out and hit his face into his desk causing a couple students to scream out.

"You've poisoned him!" Shouted a girl who was once after Kurama's affections at one point. "I knew you weren't good for him! You've killed him!"

Crowama panicked on the inside, remaining calm on the outside. "Oh please... Let me try one." She popped a candy into her mouth and also passed out, falling onto Kurama's form.

The same girl screamed out again.

Kaito decided to step up and help out his friend and his... Acquaintance. It was hard to say what Crowama was to him but that didn't matter right now. He shot up from his desk and picked up Crowama's unconscious form. "Don't worry everyone... I'll take them to the infirmary. I'm sure it's just some bad candy. So, would one of you help me here?"


Kurama has dealt with a lot of supernatural occurrences. But by far this had to be the oddest.

After the candy was inserted into his mouth, he found himself transported in a place he didn't recognize. He didn't have to worry about that for long as Crowama suddenly appeared next to him.

"This is...!" Crowama's face turned sallow. "This is my home planet... But how?" She didn't recall returning back. In fact she hadn't since she retrieved her stuff to move into Kurama's building. She then scrunched up her face, scratching her head. "I'm not dreaming again am I?" She glanced at Kurama. "You are wearing all your clothes so... I guess not."

Kurama's brow shot up. "Pardon?"

Crowama waived it off, flapping her hand in dismissal. "Oh nothing... Nothing. Don't worry about it." She walked off to get a good look at her surroundings. This was her home alright. Except a lot of things were different. Decorations were shifted around, a new fountain was built in the courtyard.

This was her home, but... what was this exactly.

"Mama! Papa!" a little voice had called out, breaking Crowama from her thoughts. A little silver haired toddler ran up to them with her arms outstretched, her little legs taking her as far as she could. Her foot caught on to the root of a rose bush and before she could even trip, Kurama was right by her side to catch her with his impeccable speed.

Getting a better look at the girl, he could see tiny pointed ears in the top of her head. If he didn't know any better, she was the splitting image of Yoko Kurama.

Though, her silver hair ended in feathers.

Kurama realized with a start where this must be. "This is..."

"This is the future!" Crowama blurted out. She had watched the whole exchange from where she stood, putting together the pieces. How far into the future though, it was hard to say.

Perhaps not that far based on the state of the planet.

If this little girl was their child, she was perhaps the first. Meaning, Crowama's repopulation mission has just begun.

"Papa..." The little girl hugged her stubby arms around Kurama's torso and snuggled into him. Oddly enough, it made his heart swell.

"I don't believe it..." Kurama whispered.

If this was any indication of the real future, this means that they made it as a couple.

Meanwhile, Crowama was sprintjng around chanting that "She did it!" and that she saved her people. Kurama enjoyed watching her be happy.

The little girl in his arms giggled. The sound was music to his ears. "Mama is so silly!" she said, clapping her hands.

"Yes," Kurama mused, a smile painted across his face. "Yes she is."

Hearing their future daughter's laughing urged Crowama to rush on over. "I have a baby!" She shouted, stealing the girl from her future husband. "I have a baby, I have a baby and—" Crowama blinked. "Why does she have silver hair?"

The girl twisted her fingers in her air. "Papa says it's pretty."

Crowama glances at him.

"I'll explain later." he promised.

For now, they just enjoyed this little moment.


Miss Sakura searched the shrine for something she misplaced. "Mother!" she called out. "Where are my candies that send you to the future?" She placed a hand on her hip in thought. "I hope I didn't lose them..."

"Did you mean these?" Sakura's mother shambled over and held up a plastic of pink hard candies.

Sakura shook her head. "No... Those are normal candies, I—" realization spread across her face. "Oh no..."

The pink candies were an engagement gift, meaning Sakura had swapped them by mistake.

However the panic wore off as Sakura shrugged her shoulders. "Ah well, it only lasts an hour. I'm sure they'll be fine."


Both Kuramas wake up in the infirmary in cots parallel to each other. Kaito was sitting between them, reading a book.

"Ah," he said adjusting his glasses. "You're awake."

They groggily came to, rubbing their eyes. They felt that they were taken far too soon from their future, their daughter.

Crowama bolted up, grabbing Kaito by the collar. "The candies!" she yelled. "Where are they?!"

Kaito pulled them out of his pocket, trying to hide his trembling hand. "They're right here... Though I don't know why you would want to keep them—"

"GIMME." Crowama snatched them out of his hands and let go of him, retreating back into her cot.

Kaito apprehensively sat back and watched as she kissed the plastic bag that held the candies. "Your girlfriend is terrifying." he whispers to Kurama.

"She is my fiance," Kurama gently corrected. "And yes, yes she is."

He also sat back and watched her be herself with a look of pure adoration on his face.

Crowama, his soon-to-be wife.
