~ Gold's P.O.V ~
After two years, I was able to go back to my bed and not sleep alone. Kurumi put on the shirt I was wearing and laid down in bed. I sweatdropped. "That shirt is dirty."
"It has your smell all over it." Kurumi said smelling the (my) shirt she was wearing.
"But you're sleeping next to me.. So you'll already smell….Me.." I said awkwardly.
"Oh you're right." Kurumi said as she took off the shirt. "I'll sleep like this instead!" She said as she jumped on the bed.
"N-no… You can wear my shirt." I said looking away. I knew what Kurumi was trying to do but I wanted to have a normal night with her.
Kurumi then hugged me from behind pressing her chest against my back. "But the shirt you're wearing has your current smell.."
"K-kurumi! I will sleep on the couch!" My face was red as a tomato at this point.
Kurumi pouted and put (my) the shirt back on. I sighed I knew she wasn't going to have a good night sleep if I didn't woo her in some way. So I grabbed Kurumi's shoulder and turned her around to face me and kissed her. Kurumi wrapped her arms around my waist and returned my kiss.
"Happy?" I asked smiling.
Kurumi nodded. "I got you to smile again." She said as she let go of me and laid down on the bed. I layed back down next to her and kissed her gently on her forehead. "Good Night Kurumi."
"Good Night Gold Hubby." Kurumi said as she closed her eyes.
I soon fell asleep as well.
[ Kindergarten is supposed to be memorable and enjoyable, however it was the complete opposite for me.
I remember the first day I met Kurumi she was building a sand castle in the sand box and Kirito was criticizing her work.
Kurumi just looked down and destroyed her castle. Kirito blinked. "I didn't mean for you to start over but okay." He then ran off to play with the other kids. I got off of the swings and went to cheer the sad girl up.
"Don't worry about him he's stupid."
Kurumi just kept looking down trying to avoid eye contact. (Back then her bangs weren't covering her clock eye) I saw her eye then my eyes widened. "Wow! Your eye is cool!"
Kurumi finally looked up at me. She looked like she had seen a ghost. "You think so?"
"I know so!" I nodded.
Kurumi blushed and gave the faintest of smiles.
"My name is Gold by the way!" I held out my hand for her to shake.
"Kurumi…" She whispered as she shook my hand.
Kurumi however wasn't allowed to have a moment of joy. A couple of seconds later a group of boys and girls began bullying her.
"Hey what time is it?" A kid 1 asked Kid 2.
"I don't know let's look at Kurumi!" Kid 2 answered.
The group of kids started laughing.
"Hey leave her alone!" I shouted as I stepped in front of Kurumi.
"Kids time to come back inside!" The teacher shouted and the kids ran back inside.
Kurumi just got up and hugged me tightly as she started crying. "Thank you…"
"Hey don't cry! It's fine!" I reassured as I gently patted her head. ]
The dream however passed the important parts of our relationship like the part where Kurumi was taken away from me in kindergarten, the kids had bullied her so much that she turned herself in to scientists and they took her away to experiment on her. How the teacher had lied to me and told me that she died and how after that I would never get close to a girl ever again.
Instead the dream went straight to the worse day of my life, the day Kurumi died. I was just about to extend my hand for her to take but instead she fell, and I caught her before she could reach the ground.
The dream then decided to torture me more than usual. Kurumi was now covered in blood and my hands were covered in blood. I started shaking. I looked up and saw a crowd gathered there they were all looking at me as if I had just murdered Kurumi. I couldn't take it anymore I woke up.
I had woken up gasping for air, I turned to see Kurumi who was still sound asleep. I then hugged her tightly. "Don't leave me ever again." I whispered.
Why did I have that dream? Was I going to lose Kurumi yet again? I held on to Kurumi even more tightly. Kurumi who was asleep smiled. I poked her cheek. "Are you awake?" I whispered. Kurumi however was indeed asleep and didn't answer.
After two weeks of Kurumi being only inside the house she had finally become bored and declared to be taken outside. Gold who was still paranoid of his dream had come up with a bunch of excuses to why she should stay inside. Kurumi just walked up the stairs and locked herself in the room. Or that's what she wanted Gold to think. Kurumi had already gotten her little blonde girl disguise and she wanted to do things. So she snuck out the window and began exploring the outside world.
~ Gold's P.O.V ~
I was scared. I didn't want to lose her again. I knew she was tired of being inside. I was tired too. Kurumi was like a caged bird or caged shark.. Kurumi get's in trouble way too often. I sighed. She'll get out of the room eventually and then I can explain to her why she can't go outside.
An hour passed and Kurumi still hadn't come out of the room. I went up to check on her and knocked on the door. "Kurumi?" There was no answer, so I knocked again. "Kurumi!" I shouted. I then took the room key out of my pocket and opened the door. Kurumi was nowhere to be found. The window was open and the wind was blowing the curtains. I looked out the window she wasn't anywhere nearby. I walked out the room and out of the house. I had to find Kurumi…. I don't want my dream to become reality.
I looked everywhere for her, where was she? I searched the places she would usually go, the amusement park, the kid's playground. By now I had ran all around town. I was gasping for air, my legs couldn't take it any longer but if I didn't find Kurumi and she had gotten hurt I would never forgive myself. I started looking for Kurumi again but this time I started walking. I would start running again as soon as I had catched my breath.
"HELP ME!"
I heard a scream coming from the corner. I started walking towards it then that's when I found her.
Kurumi.
I froze, I couldn't move at all. Even though the person I was searching for was right in front of me, I couldn't take another step.
"Kurumi?" I called out.
Kurumi turned to look at me, she had blood all over her clothes and body. She was smiling happily, she wore blood on her mouth as if it were lipstick. Her smile soon faded. "Gold…?"
I knew Kurumi was indeed a demon but finally seeing her in this state was still shocking. I gulped. I love Kurumi. I love Kurumi. I love Kurumi. I kept repeating in my head. If this was the way I wouldn't lose the love of my life then this was the right way. I walked towards Kurumi trying to keep my face straight. Kurumi started backing away. Although, it was me who was supposed to be scared now, it was Kurumi who was shaking in fear. Once I had gotten near her I hugged her tightly and stroked her head. "I'm so glad you're okay…"
~Kurumi's P.O.V~
Gold. He hugged me. After everything I had done, he still loved me. Even though, there were corpses lying around me, all he saw was me. I started crying. Gold just kept on stroking my head. I held on to Gold as tightly as I could.
"Gold?"
"Yes Kurumi?" His voice was calm and loving.
"I love you."
"I love you too Kurumi."
I looked at him and smiled. Gold smiled back at me.
"Let's get you cleaned up now." Gold began pulling me up along with him.
I nodded.
When we arrived home, Kirito was out of the house.
"I should probably tell him I found you…" Gold laughed nervously.
"He can wait." I smiled mischievously.
"I really should tell him." Gold sighed. I could tell he didn't want to but I didn't mind. After all Gold did for me I was fine with whatever he did.
Gold picked up his phone, called Kirito, told him that he had found me, then hung up. After that Gold finally took me to outside world with him. He was fine with letting me out of the house again. We spend the day together going to the amusement park then we went to the playground. All of my favorite places. We arrived home late at night and I was going to sneak in a little honeymoon with Gold but I ended up falling asleep since I was extremely tired by now.
A few weeks had passed and Kurumi was still out killing people, while Gold just waited for her to get home and he would help her get cleaned up.
