Kurama's Keeper

115: I Love My Partner

Wedding Reception

Aiko : .... Can I go ? I don't know most of them.

Mamoru: I got it. I'll help you make up an excuse.

Aiko secretly leaves.

Mamoru: Laemi. Do you want a human wedding?

Laemi ; I've no human family. Other than my deceased father. I don't need one.

Mamoru: I got it.

Yuseke : if only that old lady was still alive to see this.

Arina : it's ok. Genkai got to see kazoku when she was a little girl. I think it's enough.

Yuseke : actually... I've got a favour to ask

Arina: what is it ?

Yuseke turns his gaze to his wife, keiko who was talking to Kurama, kuwabara and yukina.

Arina: Keiko ?

Yuseke : my mother passed away last month. I couldn't help but think what if one day, when we're old, Keiko would leave me. I mean... I'm kind of yokai. I would definitely live past her.

Arina : what are you suggesting ?

Yuseke ; remember toguro ? The younger one

Arina's eyes widens " are you asking me to... "

Yuseke: ah. Turn her into a yokai

Arina: did you ask of this is what she wanted ?

Yuseke : .... She said she'll take it if that's what I want.

" Wait a minute. " Arina goes to Kurama's side and whispers something into his ear. She then looks to Yuseke then looks back to Kurama. She then walks back with Kurama to Yuseke.

Yuseke: hey.

Kurama: I heard what Arina told me. She usually don't know whether to accept these kind of things, so I help her.

Yuseke : so ?

Kurama: I'll be honest with you. Arina did this surgery before on a human, but only when she's on the verge of death. So changing that human into a yokai is merely helping out a human to transition into one.

Yuseke: I don't understand.

Kurama: Keiko needs to die once as a human to become one.

Yuseke : what...

Kurama: of course, there are ways to let her die not so painfully. Like ingesting a poison from the mundane world.

Yuseke: we'll still be able to stay in the mundane world ?

Kurama: you'll need to stay in the demon realm for a while until Keiko figures out her abilities and get used to her new body. Then you both can get back to the mundane world. Act like normal people until a certain age and then you'll have to move .

Yuseke : I see... How did you two manage to open a clinic for so long ?

Kurama: a clinic very faraway from the cities. People think we have a secret formula for keeping young. We moved back to the demon realm before people could really start speculating.

Yuseke : I see...

Kurama: think about it carefully. What kind of life is that you really want.
