Decided to write a prequel to A Rose and It’s Thorns to show how it all began.

Again, I suck at summaries. But enjoy!

Story summary: Mayumi and Kurama, early in their friendship, are walking home from school when things go south.

See how things begin in the prequel to A Rose and It's Thorns

“Well, I’ll see you on Monday, Shuichi. Have a nice weekend,” Mayumi said, waving goodbye to her once project partner, now friend as they went their separate ways while walking home.

“Yes, you too,” Shuichi, or rather Kurama, said waving after her. It felt nice to have someone like this in his life again. Ever since Maya, he’s been careful with making friends but when he first met Mayumi, he knew something was different. Her family, the Mikazaki clan, had been demon hunters for ages. And if he was right, he sensed that she was strong too. He planned to tell her the truth. Eventually. Mayumi herself knew something was different with him too. She just couldn’t place it. He had suppressed his demonic energy around her but she still sensed something.

Speaking of sensing something, she sensed a demonic presence approaching her once Shuichi left. She kept walking, reaching over to fiddle with the silver bracelet on her left wrist. Once it got close, she stopped walking and glanced over her shoulder.

This is the reader version to my original OC version. Enjoy!

Story summary: Shortly before Kurama's fight with Karasu, Karasu catches up to you and Kurama attempting to intimidate you two. For you, it becomes too much.

The original OC version is also available.

You held your tough exterior at least until Karasu was out of sight. When he was, you let out a quiet sob, focusing on the ground. Kurama had heard it and turned to you, attempting to place a hand on your arm.

“Hey, are you alright?” he asked but you didn’t answer. Instead, you turned and ran for the exit, hiding your face as you did so.

You shouldn’t have joined him to watch the match. It only made you sick to your stomach to see all five members of that team killed so easily. And Kurama seemed determined to fight Karasu who so easily defeated his opponent and snuck up on Kurama just now, close enough to touch him. Not many things scared you but this upcoming match did.

You didn’t stop running once you were outside and instead ran to the treeline. Once you felt like you had run enough, you stopped, leaning against a tree.

Your relationship with Kurama has been both strenuous and tender, frightening and joyful, grievous and extraordinary. You never thought you’d one day be confronted with the existence of demons and alternate worlds outside of your own—but you’re now engaged to Kurama, a fox demon of great wit and charm, and you could not be happier.

Despite the chaotic and life-threatening events that occurred since the inception of your relationship, they also brought you closer together, challenging the standard pace of affairs for human lovers. Nevertheless, you’re here today, as in love as you could be, and when you finally announce your engagement, a variety of new dilemmas arise.

Wedding planning presents its own conflicts. Florists and caterers, invitations and RSVPs, wedding registries and bachelor parties, oh my! How will you make it through the next year?
