Chapter 4: Going Out?

 

Karasu lifted Kurama gently into his arms. Kurama cringed in fear that Karasu would purposely drop him, but he did not. Karasu didn't mind the way Kurama cringed to his chest, either. He looked down to the kitsune in his arms and sighed. He had waited so long for this moment, but it was all worth it, now it felt like he was in ether with Kurama, what a great thought.

“C-can't I walk?”

Karasu looked down to Kurama again and shook his head with a devious smirk. “I don't think so,”

Karasu left the large mansion and found a small dirt path to walk along. Everything was quiet for a while, until Kurama found a question.

“What about my friends? What will happen to them?”

“Nothing. They will wake up soon, after we are far from here. Then they will leave,”

“Don't you think they'll wonder about where I have gone?”

“Of course, anyone in the right mind would. But what will they be a able to do?”

“…”

“That's what I thought,”

Karasu walked a few more miles, Kurama offered to walk, but was turned down every time. Soon they came to a large clearing. Kurama lifted his head and saw that they were at the same mansion!

“W…weren't we just here?” Said a very confused Kurama.

“No…the other place was just an illusion, this is real,”

“No…that other place had to have been real! I-I felt it,”

“I'm afraid it was all in your head because that's what you were expecting,”

“Oh…Karasu?”

“Yes?”

“W-what do you plan on doing with me…?”

Karasu let out a quiet chuckle. “Oh, you'll see. But don't fret, it's nothing too bad,”

Kurama swallowed hard. He knew that Karasu probably had a very different idea of bad then Kurama. But he could do nothing but wait for it and brace himself.

Karasu walked up the steps and entered the front doors. Kurama looked around and noticed that everything was the same as the other large house. As Kurama curiously looked around, Karasu brought him up a few floors and set him down by a door. Once Kurama was fully balanced on his feet, with some help from Karasu, he looked at the door.

“Aren't you going to go in?”

Kurama quickly shook his head and laid a hand on the bronze knob. He twisted it slowly and opened it. He expected to see some sort of torture chamber where he would spend the rest of his days as Karasu's revenge of defeating him in the Dark Tournament, but instead, found the same room he saw before! It had many roses in it and a comfortable looking bed with thin curtains that did almost nothing to stop the sun from getting in, but no doubt made the room look very nice. Kurama turned around to Karasu with wide eyes.

“But…why?” Kurama Stammered in pure confusion with his brow furrowed.

“Because, Kurama. Why not would really be the question. I love you, I told you that already. This is where you will stay,” Karasu gestured to another door in the room. “That's a bathroom. I want you to go get cleaned up and dressed. I'll come back to check on you later,”

Without another word being spoken, Karasu left the room and closed the door, leaving Kurama to stare blankly ahead of him. He soon took a step forward, then something came to mind. What about the others? What would they think when he didn't return and didn't find him? Well, he would have to think of that later, for now he had to focus on getting through. Karasu had plans for him and he knew it…but what?

Kurama finally decided that he didn't have time to worry and think right now. He should, for now, go along with what Karasu says. So he walked forward to the door that was on the wall that was supposedly a bathroom. He opened it and saw it was a bathroom. It had a large pool of water in the middle along with a shower on the other wall. Kurama cagily approached it and looked into the water. It seemed to be four and a half feet deep, by the looks of it. He quickly stripped himself of his clothes and got into the water. It felt very warm and soothing. But he didn't decide to sit and enjoy it, he wanted to get out of there as quick as he could before Karasu came to check in on him. He wouldn't enjoy that, but Karasu sure would. He quickly looked around and saw a few bottles of shampoo and took it. He quickly worked it into his hair and rinsed it out. He climbed a few steps and helped him get out and wrapped a towel around himself. He looked around for his clothes, but couldn't find them! In their place was a pair of boot cut blue jeans and a white button up long sleeve shirt. Kurama looked at them and picked them up. How did they get here? Wait…what if Karasu had already been in here to check on him? But why didn't he see him?!

Kurama, not wanting to frighten himself, dried off and quickly put the clothes on. He didn't want to act like he was afraid; he needed to keep his cool. He towel dried his hair and it quickly dried by itself soon and he brushed it out with a brush he found on a sink. He loved the way his scarlet hair had body to it, it was one of his best features. After he was completely ready, he decided to walk out. He put his hand on the knob. It was wet with the steam that came from the water. When he opened the door he felt cool air make contact with his skin, making him have a chill. Then he heard a voice from behind him.

“Oh, Kurama…your hair smells lovely,” Said a voice while taking Kurama's hair in his hands and playing with it.

Kurama gasped and turned around to see Karasu standing behind him. Was he in there with him?! “W-where you-,”

“Of course not, though I wouldn't have minded,” he chuckled. “Are you ready?”

“I…I don't know. Ready for what?” Said Kurama while backing up.

“Oh, ok. I guess I'll tell you then. I want to take you on a little date, you could say. Just to go get a few drinks, I promise,” Said Karasu with a grin.

“I…don't know,”

“Come on…it will be fun,”

Karasu took a few quick steps towards Kurama and laid a hand on his shoulder reassuringly. But before he could say anything Kurama jerked away with wide eyes.

“D-don't touch me! You know what it can do,”

Kurama laughed. “Have you forgotten that I was the one who carried you here?”

“Oh…I guess I did,”

“I can contain myself now and control what I do, with or without my mask,” Said Karasu as he unfastened the lock of his mask and took it off.

“I…I see,”

“Well, let's go now, don't want to be out too late,”
