Third person's P.O.V:


A year has past since that day, and both the boy, Shuichi, known truly as Kurama, and his dearest friend Juleka are now 16. Usually they'd live their lives together happily, Like the good old days.

But fate took a wrong turn when Juleka chose to save his mother from an unknown illness, Taking her place as she is now at the hospital.

Though she's been there for about a year, She's been having visits from her dear friends.


And though she was saddened by the news of Yusuke's death, Flurry had taken quite a liking to him, even though he could barely see her.

It was only for a few days since until Botan came to her with great news that he's revived to life. And happy to hear Koenma's doing well. She's met him before on his day off from so much work.

Though she hasn't heard from him or the others for a while, She's genuinely hopeful that they'll be okay. Though she doesn't know that a lot has happened without her knowledge.


Today, She received a surprise visit from Shiori, who looked lightly guilty at the tired looking girl, who was being helped in drinking a glass of water by her nurse.

When Juleka notices her, she stops drinking and smiles at the woman, "Shiori, I'm happy that you came." Shiori smiles at the girl, whilst the nurse starts clearing away the girl's breakfast, which was left to the side with very little being eaten, worrying both the nurse and Shiori.

The nurse then leaves, allowing Shiori to take a seat beside Juleka, who can now sense the guilt the woman is feeling and asks, "What's wrong Shiori, has the date been called off or is it something to do with Shuichi?"


Shiori then leans forward and gently places her hand on hers whilst saying, "Oh no no no, sweetie, nothing's wrong with Shuichi or with the upcoming date. It's just that...well, I've noticed your symptoms and I believe that I somehow passed on my illness to you before it miraculously went away!"

Shiori starts sobbing at the end of her sentence and covers her face with both her hands, making the teen look at her with sadness, before putting on a fake cheery smile and says, "No, I don't think so, Shiori. You just got lucky whilst I sadly am not. So please, stop crying. It's okay."

She hates to lie about how Shiori was truly cured, But all she really wants is for the family who cared for her along the friends she's made to live on and be happy.

Though Juleka's health was lightly weakening, Kurama continued visiting her and would gently encourage her to eat and spend time with her whenever he wasn't trying to find a cure for her. But he was now fearing that she was running out of time, as she was getting more weaker as each passing day goes by.

His big hunt for a cure however was taking very long, It was angering him so much that his demon energy would spike, losing lightly his patience to find a cure in time. And this caught a certain demon he's acquainted with's attention.
