A child from the temple, about 10 or 12 years old, has come to them, bowing;-Good morning, my name is Wutang, nice to meet you.
Shiori leaned down to look him closer;
-Oh, cute thing, hihihi!
-Do you want lunch now?
-Now?! I'm not hungry.
-It's because we always have lunch around 10 in the morning, never before, never after. This was done because it gave us an advantage over our enemies, who always attacked around noon, when everyone was supposed to be having lunch.
-Wow, hahaha! What a odd strategy! But anyway, let's have dinner a little later, or does anyone want to go now?
-I'm not hungry now, does anyone want to go?- Kurama says.
-I'm not, either, Kurama.- Kuronue responds.
-I'm hungry, and it's the only time of day I may do that, so I'll go.- Yomi manifests himself.
-Then we'll go with you.- Botan nods.
-I'm with you Botan!-Byakuya goes to her side, accompanied by Shiori.
-Daddy, I'm going too!- Shura joins Botan.
-Well, you may go alone then. We'll set it later.- Kurama says.
-It's all right! Come on.
-Join me, then, hahaha!- Wutang goes ahead.
Kurama looks them going away;
-Well, I'm going back to the temple now, I need to rest for a while, I'm likely to have a headache.-Kurama turns.
-Wait, Kurama, I'll go with you.- Kuronue accompanies him.
-Hahaha you do not leave me alone for a second! All right, come on.
-Right.
They go into the temple. There, Youko is alone with Kuronue, and this one catches your attention;
-Stop right there, Youko.
-Hey! Stop doing it, Kuronue.- Youko does not turn to him.
Kuronue goes over Youko, giving him a "tie" and knocking him down;
-You're mine, Youko, just mine! Get away from Mitsui before I take more drastic measures!
Youko keeps himself calm, and tries to escape from the "tie" Kuronue did without attacking him;
-Confess, Kuronue, are you in love with me or not? Why this insistence?
-I'm not in love with you, I just don't want you with Mitsui... his energy is not good, believe me! You don't understand, he's a threat to you!
-Mitsui is nothing like that, he's a decent person, unable to hurt me.
-There's a big difference between what you think, and what I know, from my experience. And confess me, Mitsui is an youkai, is not he? No ordinary human has all those horns or ears.
-Yes, he is...
-And where did he come from? I think you do not know, although I have no ideia either, I've never seen a six ears youkai.
-This is not important, and where do you want to go with that, Kuronue? I came here just to rest, and you... you're ruining my trip...- Youko lowers his head.
-Me, nagging you? What would you do if you stayed a thousand years without seeing your best friend, and then you could meet him by accident? Would you maintain a sober posture? Would you ignore a conversation to catch up on late issues?
-I... I know, Kuronue... I was happy to meet you again, but your posture struck me as unpleasant...
-But... but what did I do wrong? I'm just wanting to be close to you again, as it was before...
-No! You have been too intrusive, you disrespected my space, and offended my friend as if he was a garbage pile...
-Ah Youko, you're complaining too much....
-The least I demand you is a little respect...
-You have my respect, what do you need more than it? Coming into the world of men softened your heart in a way that I never thought would happen.
Yomi, who gave up lunch after hearing Kuronue's conversation, entered the room where they are, going to him;-What's the problem, six ears? Don't you know I'm having a conversation with my friend Youko?
-The problem is I've heard it all.
-But... but how did you hear everything? It's impossible, my voice would not cross that distance!
-What if you went blind and get depended only on your hearing? What would your body do to deal with it?
-Are you telling me your hearing is highly sensitive?
-Yes, I can hear a person speaking miles away.
Yomi looks at Youko;-May we stop playing under the covers, Youko?
-But... but...
-No buts! I cannot handle it anymore. It's time to do something with Kuronue.
-What are you talking about?- Kuronue is confused.
-Kuronue, you are my enemy. Simply as that.-Yomi is direct.
-Why? Just because I nagged you?
-No, we have been enemies for at least two thousand years. And my real name is Yomi, the original, and Youko is actually Shuichi Minamino, my right arm in Yomitan govnt.
Kuronue freezes. He squeezes his fists tightly;
-I don't believe ... I felt a strange energy but, at the same time, familiar... aaarrghhhh... DAMN YOU YOMI!!!Kuronue moves itself quickly and tries to hit Yomi with a dagger, but is stopped by him;
-Now you're going to calm down and throw away this dagger. I'm not going to fight or harm you while we're in civility, okay?
-DAMN YOU... DAMN YOU!!! YOU STOLE YOUKO FROM ME!!! - Kuronue tries to get rid of Yomi at all costs, but doesn't have the strength to do so.
Youko switches to Shuichi. Kuronue look, incredulous;
-You're not Youko ... you're a marionette!!!
-No, Kuronue, you're wrong. I am Youko, but I am also Shuichi Minamino. We share the same body.
-Why did you two stole Youko from me?- A tear trickles down Kuronue's face, who is calmer now.
-Stop shouting this bullshit that someone stole Youko from you! He just went the way that was possible to him to follow. Everything Youko said to you was a lie. He ended up on Earth after a Reikai guard injured him and he escaped, coming to reincarnate into a child. This child grew up with him, that's just what you need to know!
-But what about you, your bastard?- Kuronue points at Yomi.
-Well, Youko sent one of his warriors to blind me... over the time, my body has adapted to live blind. This is why I have six ears and they are so sensitive.
-And you dare to ally with this traitor again!?- Anger is visible in Kuronue's eyes.
-There was no choice. As soon as I asked to escape the maikai with my son, Shura, I ended up in Yomitan, and, perhaps by coincidence of fate, I met Kurama, we created a friendship and we were helping ourselves since then. I didn't even remember Youko any more, and at the time I didn't even know he was the one who almost tried to kill me. As soon as I found out, the shock was tremendous, but then it was too late to go back...
- Damn you all!!!
Yomi allows Kuronue to move. He gets up and leaves the room angrily, slamming the door behind him;
-Youko, what happened here?
-You should not have done that, Yomi... but anyway, our secret would be revealed.
-I made a mistake? Really?
-No, you have just anticipated things. But I know Kuronue, in two or three days he will have forgotten all that passed.
-I hope he doesn't try to use daggers again...
-We must be careful. Kuronue is treacherous, he may look happy while he is actually depressed. What I know is that his reaction was sincere and real now, he really hates you and now, he hates me. Yomi, you're the most vulnerable target, because he knows that if he kills me, Youko will die either, and he doesn't fucking want that.
-Kill me with a dagger? Hahaha less, Shuichi. This is something that doesn't affect me.
-Kuronue has other powerful weapons, especially designed to hurt Youkais. I haven't see him with any, but he might have hidden these weapons somewhere.
Kuronue was desperate and headed to his room, throwing himself in bed and crying compulsively;
-Youko betrayed me ... I cannot believe he did it ... he lied to me!!!
Byakuya enters the room, and, seeing Kuronue in that drama, he approaches to him;
-Hey, Mr. Kuronue, why are you so sad?
-Gone away you damn!
Kuronue hits Byakuya's left arm with a dagger, punching it. The attack was accidental, Kuronue did not realize that he had the dagger in his hand;
-DAMN, FUCK!!!
Kuronue despairs himself once more, and Byakuya quickly escapes from the room, leaving a blood trail wherever he goes. He screams in pain, staggering through the temple's complex;
Shizu was passing by at that moment, and ran to Byakuya, to help him;
-What a serious injury! Let's go to the doctor immediately!
Shizu rips a piece of his kimono, tying it on Byakuya's arm to stop the bleeding. He also helps Byakuya to walk to the small medical center on the site;
- What happened to you? Have you played with a sword?
-No, I was injured with a dagger.
-Wow!!!
A medical team attends Byakuya. The tiny hospital of the temple complex is a place that escapes the local standard, and has cutting-edge technology equipment .
Despite the big cut depth, the damage was not so big, and the bleeding was promptly stopped. Byakuya will now only need to rest for a few hours before returning to walking normally, a time which shorten to about 30 minutes because he is an youkai:
-Who hurt you that way? This is a crime!- Shizu asks.-Hey... he was a friend of ours... Kuronue... but it was accidental, it was not his intention ...
-Accidental? For me this was intentional!
-I swear... please... this was not a crime...
Byakuya tries to ease Kuronue's responsibility based on what he has seen so far about him;
-What would Kuronue gain by killing me? I didn't even know him, and although I'm being Youko's friend from a reasonable time, it's Yomi who spends more time with him and has the deepest relationships, apart from Botan, who is his lady... so I think his reaction was accidental, and I want to believe that's true.
Byakuya is lying on a bed, and falls asleep next. Sleep can greatly accelerate his complete recovery because he uses no energy.
