Two Paths (Sequel to Why Me)

Fighting

"Who are you anyway?" I heard Kurayami ask.

"Her friend," Tadashi answered.

"She's never spoken of you,"

"I know, because I told her not to."

"Why?"

"Because I knew that you would bother her about it."

"Where did you even meet her?! I don't trust you!"

"Where did you two even meet?"

"I think that she should answer that herself."

My eyes then fluttered open and looked around the white room. I saw Kurayami glaring at Tadashi who was on the right of me sending a glare back at her. I noticed that I was in the hospital taking notice that it was sunset.

"Guys, stop fighting," I croaked out.

"Mariah!" They shouted in relief.

Tadashi then pulled me into a hug.

"You've been unconscious for a while." He said.

"How long?"

"Four days,"

"What's my damage?"

"Blood loss, that cut on your side, the gashes, and loss of chakra."

"Typical,"

"Mariah, who is this?!" Kurayami demanded looking at Tadashi.

I looked from her to Tadashi worriedly.

"Um.....well...he's........uh......well do you remember that demon from a few months ago?"

"Yeeeeaaaaahhhhh.........no.......Mariah you didn't? Please don't tell me................"

"It's him Kurayami,"

"How did he even get here?!"

"He came back soon after we arrived here."

"And he magically got a body?!"

"Suki made him a body,"

"Why?! Why would you even agree to that?!"

"He's changed,"

"HE'S USING YOU! HE HASN'T CHANGED!"

"I didn't trust him either at first,"

"So in just two weeks he gained your trust?!"

"No, in my mind where I was training it was two months so in that time I got to know him better and then I started to trust him."

"Mariah remember all the stuff he did to you? He tried to take over your body! How could you be so stupid? I thought that you out of all people wouldn't trust him."

"He's been helping me train and get stronger. He doesn't want to take over my body anymore plus, he has his own now. He was a bad person back then because he didn't have his human characteristics but now he does and he knows what he did was wrong. Why can't you give him a chance? Everyone deserves a second chance Kurayami. You got a second chance at being a ninja."

"Humph, I still don't trust him." She pouted.

She then trotted out the door leaving Tadashi and I alone.

"How can you understand her?" I questioned.

"Well I've been with you for your whole life so I learned her language as well as all the other animals." He answered.
