KURA'S POV

After I used my sword technique on the founders, I sheathed my sword and I held it by the hilt as I panted heavily with exhaustion. The marks that were on my body faded away once they were gone I collapsed to the floor but someone caught me in time. I looked up and Subaru looked at me with a worried look on his face. He said,"Are you OK?"

I said,"Yeah *Pant, pant* but I'm so tired..." I said between my pants. Subaru and I looked over where I attacked the founders and after the dust settles there they were, Shin and Carla were lying on the ground all burnt to a crisp and unconscious. Akira walked over to them and she kicked Shin and there was no reaction. She said,"Wow, they're out cold, nice work Kura."

I smiled and then Kou rushed over and then he hugged me tightly and said,"Way to go Neko-chan!!" He said as he rubbed his face on me and then Subaru grabs him by the collar and shouts,"Keep your hands off my girlfriend!!" I giggled slightly and then Ayame came over and said,"Well done Kura...you really are a descendant of Kagome Takashi."

 "It was...nothing I can't handle...but I can't take all of the credit...you, Akira, Falis and Ren helped out as well..." I said as I was struggling to stand up straight. Akira nods her head and said,"She's right, without our help Kura wouldn't be able to defeat the founders." I smiled at her. Suddenly someone said,"My, my, how troublesome."

We looked around the room and then I was suddenly stabbed from the back. Everyone was all shocked at this. I looked down and Shin's sword pierced through my stomach and I looked over my shoulder and I said,"I-it's you...Rich...ter.." He smirked and said,"I should've known from the start that you're one of the descendants of Kagome Takashi and if I did I would have gotten rid of you the moment we met night."

He said and then he pulls the sword out from me and then I collapsed to ground. I clutched my bleeding wound and I heard Subaru shout my name,"KURA!!" I thought to myself,"It hurts! Goddammit!! It hurts!!"

I thought that as I heard Subaru shouting me to stay awake.

AKIRA'S POV

Subaru held Kura in his arms as he sat on the ground as he tried to make sure she doesn't close her eyes. I gritted my teeth and I looked at Richter and said,"What is the meaning of this Richter?! Why'd you do that?!" Richter just smirked and said,"That Takashi woman is a hunter just like her ancestor she doesn't deserve to live, she should be put down for killing our kind and as for those founders they thought they could resurrect Kagome when actually she can't, her body turned to ash years ago."

Kura glared at him weakly and said,"So...you were there...on that...day..?" Richter looked at the injured Kura and said,"Of course, Kagome told me what happens if she were to use that forbidden spell her body can never be used for resurrection." Subaru gritted his teeth and I knew he was angry. I said,"Subaru, stay calm, Ren and I will deal with this traitor."

I said as I stood up as I glared at Richter and then some of green aura from power flowed throughout my body because of my anger. Ritcher wasn't fazed one bit by this and then Ren and I dashed at Ritcher beating the crap out of him.

SUBARU'S POV

I watched Ren and Akira beat the crap out Ritcher. I heard Kura say,"S-Subaru..." I looked at her and she said,"Am I...going to die?" I shook my head and said,"No! You're not going to die! I won't allow that! Please you have to stay awake! I can't lose you not now!" I said as I stroked her cheek. Kura smiles and said,"I'll try.. but it hurts a lot...Subaru, I'm scared..." I placed her head on my shoulder and I stroked her head as I rocked her bad and forth to calm her down. I said,"Don't be scared Kura, I'm here."

Falis came over and said,"Don't worry Subaru she's going to be OK, let me look at her wound." I let Falis check her wound and she said,"It's a deep wound all right, Ricther has pierced right through between her stomach and liver that explains why she's coughing up blood." I looked at her and said,"Quit with the examining and heal her!" Falis then said,"Don't worry I going to right now, but since Kura is a human I don't know how effective my healing powers will be but here goes."

Falis pulls up Kura's top slightly and then she places both her hands on Kura's wound then she starts to heal her. As Falis was healing Kura I noticed that Kura's wound was slowly healing I said,"Why is it taking so long to heal?" Falis looks at Kura's wound and says,"My healing powers works faster on other vampires and they're more effective in the human world as well but since Kura is a human and we're in the demon world my healing powers are taking a bit longer to heal Kura's wound but I'm doing my best, don't worry Subaru, Kura's strong she's a tough girl just like Akira."

Falis said as she smiles while healing Kura's wound. I looked back at Kura and I noticed that her skin was starting to come to it's colour. I thought to myself,"Kura's face is starting to come back to it's colour...wow, now I know why Falis is known as a fast healer."

I looked at Kura and she had her eyes closed for moment I thought that was it. Falis then says,"Don't worry, Kura is going to be all right, she's just unconscious for the time being she'll wake up soon." She said as she pets my shoulder. I sighed of relief and I said,"Thank you so much, Falis." She smiled and said,"No problem."

Suddenly there was bang and when we all looked over Ren had a hold of Ricther by using his powers and he was all beaten up. Akira glared at him and then she gave off a dark aura and then she walked over towards him while having fireballs in both of her hands and said,"This is payback for stabbing Kura and this is for working along side the founders!" She said.

Kou shivered in fear and said,"Whoa! I've never seen an aura like that before!" Ruki sweat dropped and said,"That's why we do our best to stay on her good side trust me, Akira is the last person that you want to pick a fight with." Shu said,"Yeah no joke, other wise Akira will burn one of us to crisp if she were mad at us."

Everyone else nodded their heads in agreement. After Akira dealt with Richter Ren still had a hold of him and he said,"I'll go ahead and lock Richter and the founders in the dungeons and this time they won't escape from us that easily." He said as he used his powers to freeze the founders as well Akira then says,"I'll give you hand." She said as she walks over to him. Before she left Akira says,"Hey, when she wakes up tell her I said good work and tell not to push herself too much." I nodded my head and then Akira teleports out of the room with Ren, Richter and the founders.

I picked up Kura like a bride and Yuma said,"Will she really be OK?" Falis said,"Like I said, she's unconscious for the time being  and she'll wake up soon right now she's a lot of rest." I smiled at Kura's sleeping face and I was so relieved that she was going to be all right.

TWO DAYS LATER...

After dealing with the founders back in the demon world my brothers, Yui, Ayame and the Mukami brothers came back to the human world but Kura was still out of it when we returned. After I brought Kura to her bedroom to let her rest she still hasn't woken up. The Mukami brothers have been visiting her as well, my brothers sometimes stayed home at some nights to keep an eye on Kura in case of she wakes up.

I looked at the photograph of Kura's mother and it was still shock for me to learn that Kura is a descendant of Kagome. When I thought back to when she was still alive it made me smile slightly when she comforted me a couple of times when my mother mistreated me a few times. I held Kura's hand and said,"Kura..please wake up."

I said as I hung my head low. Just then I felt a hand on my cheek and when I looked at Kura she was awake. She said,"Hey Subaru." I smiled of relief that she's finally awake. I pulled Kura up and I hugged her tightly. She suddenly said,"Ow! Subaru! Easy!" I realised that she was still sore so I said,"Sorry, you had me and my brothers worried for the last two days."

"I was out that long? Oh brother, I must have pushed myself too hard this time I not gonna hear the end of this from Ayame that's for sure." She said as she sweat dropped and she placed her hand on her forehead. I smiled and I petted her head. Strong enough to sit up I released her and said,"Don't worry, Ayame will probably let this one slide besides you gave all of us a right scare we thought for sure that was the end for you."

Kura's eyes widen and said,"Oh, that's right..I remember now." She said as she placed her hand on her wound. I noticed that Kura pulled her knees closer to her face and I knew right then that she was scared. I sat next to her and I put my arm around her shoulder and I rubbed her arm a couple of times to comfort her.

KURA'S POV

I  rested my head on Subaru's shoulder as he rubbed my arm and shoulder to comfort me. I then remembered what happened with Richter and the founders and I said,"Hey Subaru, what happened with the founders and Richter?" Subaru then explained to me about what happened and when he told me about what Akira did to Richter I burst out laughing. I said,"HAHAHA!! Did she seriously beat the crap out of him?! Hahah! OW!" I stopped laughing as I felt that pain on stomach and Subaru said,"I don't think it's a good idea for you to laugh so hard just yet."

I looked at him and said,"Yeah good point, I don't wanna reopen this wound again." I said as I grimed at that thought. Subaru then strokes my cheek and then he leans over to me and said,"I actually thought I lost you." I placed my hand on top of his hand that was stroking my cheek. I said,"Don't worry Subaru, you're not going to loose me not now nor ever, because I am not going anywhere, I love you so much." I said with a hint of blush on my cheeks.

Subaru smiled at this and he then wrapped his arm around my shoulders and he pulled me closer to him gently. Subaru smiled and said,"I love you too, Kura." He said as he leans closer to my lips and we kissed. I closed my eyes and I kissed back and I gripped on Subaru's jacket begging for more of his kisses.

Just then someone said,"Oh! Excuse me!" Subaru and I pulled away quickly and when we both looked, the triplets and a blushing Yui were standing there. Kanato rushed over shoving Subaru out of the road and he said,"Kura-san! You're awake!" Laito teleports behind me and he wraps his arms from behind me and says,"It's good to see you awake, little hunter." He said as he rubbed his cheek against mine.

I smiled at their behaviour and Yui stopped blushing said,"Welcome back to the living Kura." I smiled and said,"Thanks Yui." I said as I ruffled Kanato's head as a sign that I was all right.
