Prologue:
She felt butterflies in her stomach, her heart racing, as his lips descended upon hers. She saw only his soft, pale lips and the silver of his hair before her eyelids fluttered closed and their lips met. The kiss was soft, gentle; yet firm, and steadily increasing in urgency. His hands were in her hair, holding her face firmly to his, one thumb stroking her cheek. He let up on the pressure suddenly, his hands still in her hair, and she felt the pleasant puff of his warm breath on her lips as he lightly teased her lower lip with his own. Her breathing sped up even more. She loved it when he did this. It seemed to increase her craving for him, though he was barely touching her.
He traced her sweet, pink lips with the tip of his tongue, enticing them to part for him; and they did, ever so slightly. He smirked at her innocence, eliciting a soft gasp from her as he let his fangs graze her bottom lip before catching it up with his tongue and teeth to suck on it gently. She moaned, finally allowing him entrance to her mouth. One hand stayed in her hair, his long, slender fingers wrapped around the back of her neck. The other arm wrapped around the back of her waist, bringing her small form flush against his tall, muscular one, as he plundered her mouth with his tongue. He explored the warm, moist cavern thoroughly, relishing the flavor of her, feeling her teeth and suckling her tongue.
The heat between their bodies grew feverish. She felt a pleasant, though desperate, craving as the heat seemed to fill her body, making it tingle before the heat pooled in her stomach and lower extremities. She wrapped her arms around him in an attempt to get even closer, one hand playing with the silky strands of silver that reached to her fingers. She could feel his arousal pressed hard against her and she yearned to touch more of him, and for him to touch her. She let her hands roam and play about his back and arms, still too unsure of herself to roam further than that.
Encouraged by her curiosity, he began to nibble gently towards her ear and down her neck, stopping at the juncture between her neck and shoulder to nip and suckle at her pulse a bit. It left a bit of a mark, which he noticed approvingly. His hands were searching her body, memorizing each dip and curve. As one hand moved to cup one of her perfect breasts, the other grabbed her ass and pushed her against him even more, grunting in satisfaction as she rubbed against his now-obvious erection through their clothes. She moaned sweetly from the sensation, and brought her hips back a little, only to bring them swiftly back up against his and have the feeling rush through her again.
Feeling an urge she'd felt several times before, she reached a hand up to his head to play with the soft fur of his adorable doggy ears. It was something that always sent sparks through both him and her. Finding the base of one, she traced a delicate finger along the edge before grabbing it gently between her thumb and forefinger to rub the whole ear. Her actions earned a rumble of approval from her youkai. She paused, puzzled, when she didn't feel the tip of the ear where she thought she would. The ear stood taller than she'd ever felt before! Her slight confusion bringing thought back to her lust-clouded head, she realized the fur on his ear felt slightly different as well. The need to answer her confusion overwhelmed her, and she suddenly pushed against his chest with both hands, turning her head to break off the kiss.
Looking up into his confused and disappointed face, she gasped as she realized it really wasn't Inuyasha she had been kissing, but some other silver-haired, golden-eyed youkai. A youkai with kitsune ears… and a tail! She was even more surprised, however, to realize she wasn't disappointed. His face was beautiful, and more mature than her own inu-hanyou. The gold of his eyes-no, wait, they were a sparkling emerald green. His silver hair-no, that, too, had changed. His head now flowed with long, thick crimson locks. His kitsune ears and tail had disappeared, and his brilliant white clothing was now a pink boy's school uniform.
A question formed on her pursed lips, but it was left unasked as everything around her dimmed, fading to black.
~*~~~~~~~~~~*~~~~~~~~~~*~~~~~~~~~*~
Kagome sat up in her bed, slick with sweat, feeling extremely frustrated from her dream in more ways than one. Who had that been? And why couldn't she have finished the dream?!!
So what if it hadn't been Inuyasha in her dream? He had kept his promise to Kikyou, following her to hell, though he had told Kagome he wished he could stay with her. Since that night, almost 3 months ago, Kagome had dreamt about him even more than she had before. This dream, however, had been a better dream than all the ones she'd had of him. This dream… of this strange youkai… it had felt more real. Her body still tingled everywhere he had touched her, and, putting her fingers to her lips, she swore she could still feel his lips on hers.
She got out of bed to splash her face and cool off before attempting to sleep again. She wondered if she should take a quick cold shower or if she should just help herself out with the ache she was feeling. Flashes of the dream came to her once again, and she knew the answer.
~*~~~~~~~~~~*~~~~~~~~~~*~~~~~~~~~*~
Across town, Kurama was suffering his own after-effects of the same dream. His predicament, however, would definitely take more than a cool splash of water to the face. He had no need to ponder such a question; he had already resigned himself to the answer. His hand went under the covers and started a steady stroke as Youko replayed his favorite parts of the dream in their mind. He could imagine every detail he had explored of her body, as if it had been much more than a dream. Her taste was in his mouth, a mix of vanilla and honey, and one ear was still seemingly enjoying phantom ear rubs.
A few minutes later, his problem taken care of and cleaned up after, questions similar to Kagome's began to plague him. Who was that girl? His dreams had never given a face to her before, though he had dreamt similar dreams many times. What teenage boy wouldn't, after all, and his dreams were especially explicit since he played host to a thousand-year-old silver kitsune youkai with immeasurable experience. This dream, in fact, had been rather mild compared to the usual Youko-inspired ones. None of those, however, had ever left him feeling what he was now. It was as if he could've brought her into his waking world if only he could've gotten a better grip on her before the dream ended.
~*~~~~~~~~~~*~~~~~~~~~~*~~~~~~~~~~*~
Kagome woke in the morning and prepared for school. It was her first day of high school and she had a brand new school uniform. It was similar to her old one, but was blue where her old one was green. She vaguely wondered what the boys' uniforms would look like. She chuckled at herself. She was almost thinking like her old self again: the Kagome that only worried about school, her family, her friends and boys. She could never completely go back to that way of life, however. Her eyes had been opened to a whole world she'd never known existed. Her miko powers had developed greatly on her journeys in the past, yet they now had seemingly no use in her own time; the time she was supposed to belong in.
The collection of unused power, along with the memories of her past adventures, left her feeling greatly unfulfilled with her “normal” life. She wished she could feel useful again.
With all of these thoughts playing in her mind, she failed to notice the mild hickey that now graced the creamy skin of her neck.
~*~~~~~~~~~~*~~~~~~~~~~*~~~~~~~~~~*~
Kurama walked to school in silence, contemplating the latest assignment from Koenma. For some reason that he had yet to fully disclose to Kurama and his fellow detectives, Koenma insisted they needed a new member for the team. Not just any new person, a miko. Not just any miko, for that matter. They were to find the girl who had the reincarnated soul of a powerful shrine maiden from about 500 years ago. Disorganized as Koenma was, he had lost track of the girl while she was still just a child, which meant the only clues the Reikai Tantei had to go on were that she was their age and most likely still in Tokyo. Kurama wondered how long it would take to find her, and which one of them would accomplish the task. They had all enrolled in different high schools in order to search for her.
Walking up the steps to his new school, he suddenly felt a tingling in his senses; something he had never felt before, yet was unmistakable. What were the chances he would find her so fast? Looking towards the girl radiating pure, unrivaled energy, he gasped as he met familiar sparkling blue eyes… and a neck bearing a familiar hickey.
~*~~~~~~~~~~*~~~~~~~~~~*~~~~~~~~~~*~
Kagome gasped as she saw the uniforms on the boys entering her new school. Pink, just like in her dream! Suddenly, she felt the presence of a youkai. `It couldn't be!' she thought to herself. `There aren't youkai in my time… are there?' A giddy feeling made her stomach leap up to her heart as her soul seemed to hardly contain itself at the familiar feeling of youki so close by. Looking around for the source, her breath caught as she met those unmistakable emerald green eyes.
~*~~~~~~~~~~*~~~~~~~~~~*~~~~~~~~~~*~
“Well, George? What'd I tell you? They really were meant to find each other! Now, pay up,” Koenma gloated to his servant, receiving a plateful of his favorite pastries for his winning of their bet. Of course, he hadn't really given George a choice in the wager.
“Yes, Koenma-sama, you certainly had the better choice,” George agreed halfheartedly, his stomach growling as Koenma stuffed his face.
“And you said that fortune-teller didn't deserve the judgment she received for her prediction!” Koenma scoffed. He then took on a look of contemplation, crossing his arms and tapping his chin with a finger, “Of course, I never would've thought the mixture of youki and reiki would work so well, either. It seemed to draw them together like a magnet! I don't think the best schemers in my employ could've fabricated a better introduction to their future than that dream, and that was completely the doing of their own subconscious reaching out to find each other. To think those two will become the ultimate force in battling evil for Reikai and Ningenkai!”
“Yes, Koenma-sama, it's quite amazing,” George salivated as he stared at the remaining pastries. He cautiously reached out a hand towards the plate, “Please, Koenma-sama, can't I have one?”
Koenma smacked his hand from the plate out of habit, but felt a rare twinge of pity for the blue oni and handed him one. After all, he was in a good mood, why not be generous?
End Prologue
~*~~~~~~~~~~*~~~~~~~~~~*~~~~~~~~~~*~
A/N: Okay, well I had quite a few requests, in reviews AND emails, to continue this fic instead of leaving it a one-shot. After a bit of brainstorming with my beta, Houseki (whom I love to death!!! *much glompage to ya girl* ^__~), I finally laid out an outline for the plot to continue this. It's looking to be quite epic. I will tell you up front, however, that U.A. is still my primary fic. AND, AND (this fic's abbr.) is currently still secondary, and therefore will be updated more slowly; at least for awhile.
Also, when I originally wrote this, I used no Japanese terms whatsoever, in order to make it easier for some people reading it at ICAF. When I started writing more to it, though, I found it nearly impossible to leave out the Japanese. Therefore, I have also changed a few words in this prologue as well. However, I'm a bit worn out from defining Japanese words I use, and I'm sure many of you can figure them out anyway. You guys are smart, and if you don't know `em, I'm sure you know how to work google. So, I won't be defining anything for this fic unless I think it's absolutely necessary.
One final note: This fic is Kag/Kur. Pleeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaase do not request other pairings for it, cuz it'll just annoy me. I have nothing against any other pairings, but I wanted to write this one Kag/Kur, so that's what it is.
Right, I think that's it. So, on with the next chapter!!!! Oh, yeah, please R&R. ^_____^ Thankies!
