We made a promise to each other.
I intend to hold mine till the end of my life. That's how much I love him.
The name came about because of the things I helped him to keep.Maybe to him, I'm just a tool, and the promise is just something of a conveni...
Arina goes out for a late night walk... That's when she felt a presence " who ?"
The female yokai reveals herself " Arina. "

Arina : why are you here ?
Akami: why else ? Have you forgotten what my role is ?
Arina: ... Ninja. You've come to kill me ?
Akami ; no you Baka. You're my sister-in-law. How can I kill you? That's not why your ototo asked me to come. ( Younger bro )
Arina : hirou ? He has always been the scheming one. Father always liked him for his smarts. He's probably like an advisor now .
Akami : you didn't guess wrong.
Arina : what did hirou say ?
Akami : your baby. Give birth now if you want her to be safe.
Arina : he even knows it's a her. He just never ceases to amazes me how he knows these things.
Akami : and ... Abandon these people.
Arina: what ?
Akami : it's the only way. Despite being the most scheming and smartest one, you know he doesn't like bloodshed the most either.
Arina: akami. Is mother seline doing fine ?
Akami : um. She is. She still receives your handmade bath soap every three months.
Arina : I see. ____________________________________
Kurama wakes up the next morning to find Arina missing. He goes out to find her. That's when he meets yukina " ohaiyo. "
Yukina : ohaiyo. Looking for arina ?
Kurama : hai. Do you know where she went ?
Yukina: she asked for a room where she could do her experiments. She wouldn't tell me what. She also told me not to let anyone disturb her. Even you.
Kurama : that's weird. That never happens. Where is she ?
Yukina : I could bring you there but there's this huge seal on the door. No one can open it. My servants tried earlier when trying to pass her food. We had to wait till she opens it.
Kurama: Arina. What's going on ?
____________________________________
Kurama reaches the room she's in and stood outside. There was a huge seal on the door like yukina said there would be.
Kurama: Arina. I'm Kurama. Could you open it up ?
Arina : I'm working.
Kurama : I know. Still. Could you let me in ?
Arina : could you just leave me alone?
Kurama : Arina ! I'm worried.
Arina : just leave me alone !!! Go away !!!
He was shocked. She never talked to him like that before. Unless she was really angry. And the last time that happened, they almost broke up. " I got it." And he left. ____________________________________
Hina: are you sure ?
Arina : I'm sure. Do it
" Alright then. " And Hina puts Arina under anaesthesia and starts opening Arina's womb to retrieve the baby girl. It was a surgery that took about two hours. "
The baby cries with her lungs as she arrived in the world . She cries with much strength. She was placed beside her mother. Arina had woken up. She strokes her baby's little head " gomen. Can't see you anymore" her tears flowed. Arina sits up and carries her baby girl in she arms " I want you to love your Papa. Love your grandma and grandpa. Grow up well. Eat lots. " Her tears continue to flow " I want you to... To never think of me. Ok ? Then you won't have to suffer missing me . "
Hina : Arina.
Arina: akami.
Akami steps out of the shadows and takes over the baby girl " how about a name ? "
Arina : Kurama will think of one . It's the last thing I can give him. I don't want him to remember her as me.
