Yu Yu Hakusho Fan Fiction ❯ Yu Yu Hakusho and the Witch ❯ Morning ( Chapter 4 )

The next morning I woke up bright and early. My magic was fully restored and I was feeling better then ever. I sat up in Kurama's bed and looked around. The sun rise slowly leaked through the window and appeared across the room. Next to me was Kurama sleeping on the floor. He looked so peaceful when he was sleeping. His hair was spread out on the floor neatly.
I looked at him and sighed deeply. He truly did remind me of the person who protected me. I failed to mention this to the others when I was explaining why I didn't look at them in the eyes but I fell in love with one of them. It was the one Kurama was like. They looked the same: long hair, gentle green eyes, and a personality I some how fell in love with. Staring at him I remembered that we met the same way as I met the first group of people who tried to save me. It was odd but somehow I didn't mind.

I crept out of bed and slowly walked towards the door. Just then I heard something.
"Don't go."
I spun around and only saw Kurama there. I then saw that he was talking in his sleep.
"Please don't leave," he whispered.
I smiled and walked back to him. I then sat on the floor next to him and smiled. My hair brushed against the floor as I looked at him. His eyes were tightly shut and beads of sweat appeared on his head. Some of his hair fell on his face as his eyes tightened even more. Carefully I moved some hair from his face and watched him.
"Don't worry, I won't leave you," I whispered and lightly brushed my hand against his cheek.
Kurama calmed down and softened his eyes. I smiled as he calmed down. Then he opened his eyes. I blushed as he looked over at me. He smiled.
"Good morning," he stated.
"Um... right, good morning," I stated blushing.
He sat up and looked at me.
"So why are you sitting next to me?" he asked me.
"Well um... I saw you sleeping and then you said something in your sleep and you started sweating and I got worried and..."
He pressed a finger on my lips and I stopped talking. I looked at him and he looked at me back.
"I understand and I thank you for worrying about me," he stated smiling.
I blushed madly and then turned my face.
"Sure anytime," I stated.
I stood up and walked towards the door.
"Um... can you tell me where the restroom is?" I asked.
Kurama told me where it was and I walked down the hallway. I walked inside the bathroom and decided to take a shower. I turned on the shower and then got undressed. I hopped in the shower and breathed in the hot air. I closed my eyes and calmed down in the water. As I stood there in the shower and I wondered why I really was sitting next to him.
"Why didn't I just leave?" I thought as I washed my hair, "I know he's like a friend but I sat there and stared at him. And why did he kiss me last night? Does he like me more then a friend? Do I like him more then a friend? Could I possibly love him?"
I was done with my shower and turned it off. While drying off my body and putting on the same clothed I wondered if I was in love with him or not. My heart felt like it was almost split in two. I then dried my hair as best as I could but it was still wet.
I walked out the bathroom and into Kurama's room. When I got into his room, I found him by the window. The window was opened and he was leaning on the window ledge. The wind blew in and his hair flew back. As I watched him he looked really... cute. I watched him enjoy the early morning wind and the sun rising over the horizon. My heart sank into a mellow state of mind and I smiled dreamily. He then closed the window and looked at me surprised.
"Oh sorry I didn't hear you come in," he stated walking towards me.
I quickly snapped out of his trance and looked up at him.
"Oh that's ok," I stated.
He smiled and then looked at my clothes.
"Would you like some new clothes?" he asked me.
I looked at my clothes and smiled.
"Yeah new clothes would be nice," I said.
He went into his dresser and pulled out some jeans and a t-shirt. Kurama then handed them to me and left the room. I took off my clothes and changed into the clothes Kurama gave me. They were big on me but I didn't mind. I walked out into the hallway and looked over at Kurama. He looked back at me and started chuckling.
"I guess my clothes are too big for you," he stated laughing lightly.
I smiled and giggled back at him.
"Yeah but I think I'll live," I stated.
"I don't know. I think it was Yusuke. We better go check it out," Kurama said and rushed down stairs.
I nodded and followed. We both raced down the stairs and into the living room. Hiei was standing by the window when we got there and Kuwabara was no where in sight. We both looked over at the couch where Yusuke was sleeping and saw him scared half to death.
