Disguised Destiny

The Party

By: kawaii-anime-star

The morning of the next day was quite a sight. The sun shone brightly, as birds sung their wake up tunes. The grass was a fresh green and the skies a clear blue. In fact, it was so bright; it shone right through the closed curtains in the room Amura was sleeping. She stirred as the radiant rays hit her tired eyes. As her numb body was lifted, she yawned widely.

She made her way, slowly, to the bathroom. She opened the shower door and turned on the water, on warm, letting it run down. She then undressed and lightly stepped into the shower. She stood there, letting the hot water drip down upon her, while she closed her eyes, remembering what had happened the previous night.

Once Amura finished taking a shower, brushed her teeth, did her hair, and got dressed, she smelt something that made her taste bugs melt. Amura walked toward the kitchen. When she stepped in, she surprisingly saw that Yume was the one cooking.

Yume had sensed Amura and looked at the kitchen entryway where she was present. "Ohayo Amura," he said.

"O…Ohayo….um, what are you doing?"

"What does it look like I'm doing, I'm making breakfast."

"Well sorry, I was just surprised, I never thought of YOU to be a cooking type."

"Well then, I guess that proves you don't know me very well, now do?"

Amura chuckled, "I guess I don't"

"Well, the breakfast is almost done, so why don't you set the table?"

Amura gave a nod, as she walked toward Yume's nicely decorated kitchen. She searched the cabinets for what Yume called `plates.' When she found them, she took two and placed them on the table. She then went to get two sitting mats and put them in their spots. Yume brought the pan with their meal inside. He put them on the plates and then went to go retrieve two pairs of chopsticks.

While he was gone, Amura thought that maybe her point of view on Yume was wrong. `He seems to be responsible, plus he is the only boy I know who has a clean room, and the only boy I know who can cook without causing a disaster.' Amura thought to herself.

When Yume returned with the chopsticks they began their meal. Not a word was spoken through almost the whole meal. Amura could not stand the silence so she decided to speak.

"Yume, are you still planning to have the party tonight?" she asked breaking the long silence.

Yume looked at her confused, "Of course I am, and don't you want to have the party here?"

"Well, of course. It's just that, I don't want to force you to have it for the sake of Kairi," she said, "We could always have the - "

"I don't mind having the party here," he replied quickly.

Amura's head jerked up, "Really? Are you sure?"

"I'm positive, we can have the party here."

"Then, don't you think we should meet up with Shinjuki and Kairi to start planning how it's going to work tonight?"

"Uh…..sure that's fine with me."

"OK!" she exclaimed cheerfully.

They finished their meals, talking about what their friends have planned for tonight. After their rather filling meal, Yume and Amura packed a lunch and then grabbed their sweatshirts. They then headed towards Shinjuki's house.

~Shinjuki's House~

The air smelt wonderful, as a chocolate haired colored boy stepped outside, his cinnamon eyes scanning his happy village. He was on his way to his best bud, Yume's, house. He wanted to check on the "lovebirds" as he called them. But before he headed down the main road, he gave a shout to his mother.

"Hey mom, I'm leaving for Yume's, I'll be back tonight!" Shinjuki shouted.

"OK dear, do you have a lunch?" a sweet voice from inside asked.

"Yes ma'am"

"Okay then, see you later tonight dear!"

Shinjuki headed down the main road, while holding his wooden flute. He brought the flute to his lips and began to play a tune. While blowing into his flute, Shinjuki looked around his village, taking in the sights that surrounded him. He had lived in this village his whole life, and he would not change it for the world. He loved living in a nice quiet environment, instead of that noisy city Yume's mother once lived in. He disliked crowds very much. Although he may not act it, Shinjuki is a very responsible man. Sure he can't cook like Yume, and maybe his room isn't the cleanest place on Earth, but he always respects his duties.

Almost reaching the field, Shinjuki spotted two figure outlines heading his way. He squint his eyes, wondering who the two figures belong to. The shout of one answered his question.

"Hey Shinjuki, it's me!"

Shinjuki recognized the voice in an instant, "Oh hey Amura!"

Shinujki ran toward them till all three of them met in the middle of the field, and in an instant started talking.

"I was just about to come see you two," he said taking his breath, "How was the first night alone?"

Yume and Amura's expressions changed rapidly. "Um…..well," Yume started.

"Well you both are alive, so I guess it was not at all bad huh?" Shinjuki interrupted while smiling.

Amura giggled, "No, it was actually not as bad as I expected it to be."

"Ha see? I told you it would not be terrible!" Shinjuki exclaimed.

The two teens smiled. They knew their friend was happy to prove himself right. After all, it was a once in a lifetime experience for him to be correct.

Amura decided to speak. "Okay okay, you got your best buddy, now let's go get mine!" Amura said while shaking Yume's shoulder.

Yume groaned, "Do we have to?"

Amura put on a confused face, "What do you mean `do we have to?'"

"No offense to you or anything Amura, but your friend is just so annoying!" Yume said with a disgusted look on his face.

Amura gave a frown, "Oh and like Shinjuki isn't annoying?"

"He is not annoying!"

"Yea, I'm not annoying," said Shinjuki, trying his best to defend himself.

"Whatever, let's just go and pick her up, NO arguments!"

"Yes ma'am," Yume said sarcastically.

~Kairi's House~

Upstairs, in a room first door to the right, once you go down the hallway, was a red haired girl, writing poems about how her day was turning out so far. She wrote about her morning chores, to also about what happened at the dinner table. Kairi Toyashi was her name. She loved writing poems and stories about her day. Sure other girls used diaries, but she loved the fact of making a poem about her day. If you ask her to write about anything around you, she will write as if that object had a whole story to its self. She had the true talent when it came to description and plots.

The redhead sighed, "I'm bored."

Kairi looked around her room, looking for anything that might amuse her for a while. Just when she was about to reach for a book, she heard a shout from outside her window.

"Hey Kairi, you home?" She heard her best friend's voice call.

Kairi ears perked up. `Okay, am I hearing things or was that Amura's voice?'

"Hey Kairi, are you home?" the voice called again.

Kairi's ears perked up, as she ran over to her window to see if she was just hearing things, or if it was really Amura's voice. When she looked out, her eyes were amazed to see Amura, Shinjuki, and to her surprise, Yume. At that instant, she ran out of her room, through the `kitchen', and out side to meet with her friends.

"Hey, Amura, Shinjuki, and…Yume, what a surprise."

Yume gave her a weird look, "Why is it so shocking? She did stay at my house for the night."

"Oh yea, but I didn't think you two would even talk, let alone walk over here together."

Shinjuki then spoke, "Oh yea, what happened to `I'm going to die spending the weekend with her!'"

Yume and Amura looked at each other with blank expressions. Amura then faced her head down. "Nothing happened," she then lifted her head back up, "can we just go to the field and plan this stupid party?" she yelled loudly.

Kairi jumped back with a frightened look on her face. "Um……yea, I think that would be wise." With that said she walked off.

Shinjuki looked at Amura suspiciously, "Hey is something wrong?"

Amura responded quickly, "NO! LET'S JUST GO!!!" With that she started off down the road. Kairi was still ahead of everyone. Yume walked slowly toward Amura, when Shinjuki called out for him.

"Hey," Shinjuki yelled, "Yume come here."

"Why?"

"Because I want to ask you something, so come here!"

"Fine fine," Yume mumbled.

While Kairi and Amura were up in front having an apology arrangement, Shinjuki and Yume started their own questioned conversation. Shinjuki was the fist to speak.

"Yume, you and Amura are acting really weird," he said, "is there something you are not telling me?"

Yume looked at his friend, `Should I tell him?' he wondered to himself, `No I can't, I promised Amura I wouldn't tell anyone, and I'm not going to break that promise we made together.'

"Hello Yume?"

"Huh?"

"OK, now I know there has to be something going on, you NEVER blank out for no reason Yume."

Yume glared at his friend, "Look, there is nothing wrong okay?"

Shinjuki stared at him friend with a hard face. He knew what his friend was trying to do, trying to scare him so he could stop asking questions. He has seen this maneuver many times in their friendship, and now could tell when he was doing it. `Well it's not going to work on me.'

"Fine, but don't think I'm finished arguing with you yet Yume Higurashi. I'm going to find out what is going on sooner or later," Shinjuki said with a hard, determined face, while walking toward the girls.

Yume stared at his friend's descending back. He never kept anything from his best bud before, they were like brothers. They told each other everything. But now it was different, he had made a promise, to a girl, a girl whom he used to love. `Sorry Shin, I wish I could tell you, but I promised Amura I would not…'

With that thought, he met up with the group and continued walking.

~The Field~

When the four of them got to the field, they acted as though none of the previous fighting ever happened. Shinjuki was playing a light tune on his flute, and Amura was humming softly. She then stopped. "So what are we going to plan for tonight?" she asked.

"Well what do you mean, we are having the party correct?" Kairi stated.

"I mean, what the foods are going to be, what games are we playing, help me here!" Amura mentioned smiling.

"Well food I have no idea, but game wise…ooh the possibilities!!!" She said with an evil smile on her face.

Amura gave a worried face, "I don't like that smirk on your face Kairi."

"Why Amura?" asked Shinjuki.

"Because that's the smirk she gets when she has an evil idea!"

"Why would she get an evil idea at a time like this. We just want to know what games we are going to play," Yume said calmly.

"Well easy for you to say, I know when my best friend is up to no good." Amura said in a matter-of- factly voice.

Yume rolled his eyes and looked toward Kairi, "So Kairi, what games did you have in mind?"

In an instant, the evil smile that was on Kairi's face before, appeared back once again. "Well, now that you asked, the games I had in mind were either truth or dare , OR spin the bamboo stick!"(They did not have bottles back then right??? Oh if they did just go with it ok? ^-^)

Yume cocked up an eyebrow, "What? We can NOT, and I repeat, CAN NOT play that retched game. Are you crazy or something?"

Amura spoke, "I agree with Yume, I mean, hardly anyone I know is going to be there." Amura said, "I don't know about you, but I don't kiss strangers!!"

"He he, but it will be fun!"

"Well it's up to Yume, not me!" Amura announced.

Kairi turned her head to Yume's face and gave him her, as Yume would call it, "annoying" puppy dog eyes. Yume looked in annoyance, "OK fine, but I'm not going to kiss anyone!"

Kairi made a smirk "We will see about that Yume Higurashi…"

~Yume's House~

After the long discussion of what to do at the party, they all went home to get ready for the long awaited night.

"AHHHH!!! What am I going to wear?!" Amura yelled to herself.

The guest room she stayed in was in a flood of clothes. Everywhere you looked; on the desk, on the bed, on the floor, everywhere, clothes, clothes, clothes. Even in her bathroom, you could see some clothes. "Oh God, what to wear……" Amura said while lying on a pile of clothes that was on the floor.

"Well think Amura, this is a fashion emergency, and who is better in the fashion category then your own best friend?"

~Yume point of View~

I walked down the hall, heading towards my room to start getting ready for this so called "fun" party coming up. I was almost to my room, when something spotted my eye in Amura's room. I stopped in my tracks and looked in with shock eyes. There were clothes all over a place! I then looked at Amura with a weird face. "What in hells name happened here? Did an earthquake stop by?"

She gave me one of her famous grumpy, yet cute, pouts, "No….more like a tornado." She said with crossed arms.

I chuckled "What's wrong?"

"I can't figure out what to wear for tonight." She exclaimed with an upset face.

"Heh, is this what you girls call a `fashion emergency'?" I said smiling.

She gave me a sweet smile, "Yeah, you can say that alright."

"Do you need any help?"

She eyed me with a, what seemed to be, a scared expression. "Uh….no offense, but I don't think you would know a thing about fashion since you, yourself, are so bad at it."

"What's wrong with my fashion?"

She laughed, "It's not exactly today's style Yume."

"It is the style in my mom's time. Plus, I don't even care if it wasn't in style, I like what I like okay?" I said proudly.

She chuckled yet again, "OK, OK, I was just kidding, jeez. I don't mind if you help okay?"

"Thank you, jeez, a guy can't get any respect around here can he?"

She rolled her eyes, and then we started looking through her clothes.

~Normal Point of View~

So Yume helped Amura pick out her outfit, and this is what they agreed on: She wore a tie back shirt that was in the shape of a butterfly, wings and all, using the top and bottom wings as the strings to tie back the shirt. The top wings tied back around her neck as the bottom wings tied around her waist. It did, however show some of her stomach. Her pants were black hip huggs with a blue and green butterfly design on the left leg, while the right was just plain black. Around her hips she had a thin chain of blue and green butterflies that she wore as a belt. It was tied to the right of her waist, thus, hung down her right leg, all the way to her thigh. At the end of the belt, that dangled, was a blue butter fly. Her hair was up in a very high ponytail, which was held by a blue butterfly band. She had on clear lip gloss, which shined so beautifully in the light. She had glitter around her eyes that gave off a reflection of blue and green, but ever so lightly. She looked beautiful, radiant, and luminescent.

Yume had not yet seen her with the outfit on. He was waiting outside with his back against the wall and his arms crossed. `Why did she have to push me out of the room like that? I mean I'm not going to look.' He gave an abrupt `humph' and lowered his head, as if he was in deep thought. "I'm not Shinjuki…." He mumbled.

At just that moment, Amura's door opened. Yume popped one of his eyes and looked toward her. He then, in a sudden movement, made himself stand in an upright position, eyeing Amura with most amazement A blush then crept on his cheek. `She's beautiful.'

"Yume, Yume?"

"Huh...yeah?"

"Are we going or not?"

"Uh, yes we are." He said still blushing.

Yume and Amura walked into the living room, getting all the last minute arrangements done, as in the food, music (which came out of the so called `music box'), and decorations. Just as they were done setting everything up, a knock came at the slide door.

"Is that Kairi?" asked Yume.

Amura sighed, "I bet you all for nothing it is her." Replied Amura with a confident face, knowing her friend would always come at least half an hour earlier then expected when it cam to parties.

Yume put on a weird face, "Why is it that she shows up early for parties, but not for school?"

Amura sighed, "I have no idea, just go get the door please?"

Yume walked to the slide door and opened it. As they both predicted, Kairi was present.

"Hiya Yume!" Kairi greeted with a smile, "ready to have the best party ever?"

Yume stared at her with a very plain and annoyed expression, "Whatever."

Kairi's smiled was wiped off immediately, she then made her way to her best friend. "So please tell me you are ready for a party?" she asked, "Nice outfit by the way."

Amura smiled, "Thanks, and yes, I'm ready for a party!"

"Great!"

The three of them continued to talk and arrange the games when they were disturbed by, yet, another knock at the slide door. "That must be Shin," Yume announced while getting up. Surely enough, it was Shinjuki.

"Heya Yume!"

"Hey Shin."

"So, are you ready for some partying?" Shinjuki asked smiling, just as Kairi did.

Yume stared at his friend, "You sound like Kairi."

Shinjuki put on a confused, yet curious face, "Like Kairi? How is that?"

"She said the exact same thing you did when I opened the door on her." Yume said remembering her annoying voice, well to him that is.

"She did?" questioned Shinjuki happily, "Cool, I'm starting to sound like my love."

Yume looked at his friend's weirdness. `This poor guy is addicted.'

The two boys walked into the living room, both of them taking their seats at the small table, where the girls already sat.

"So," started Shinjuki, "is everything ready for tonight?"

"Yeah, you can say that." Amura mentioned while sighing.

"Who's coming?"

At that very moment, Kairi got up from her position and went straight for her coat that hung on the wall. She put her hand inside one of the coat pockets and then, in her hand, held a rolled up piece of paper. She then returned to her seat and sat calmly back next to Amura.

"What is that Kairi?" asked Amura with a puzzled face.

"This," she began while unrolling the piece of paper, "is the list that holds the names of all our guest."

The paper unrolled, till it fell over the table. It was, at least, twice as long as the table they were all present at. All they could do was stare, as they came eye to eye with a list completely filled with names and numbers."

"You invited all these people to my house without telling me, Kairi?" Yume asked with an angry face.

"Oh Yume, this is NOT many people trust me, it will be fine." Kairi said with a HUGE smile on her face.

Yume and Amura stared at Kairi with shocked face that read `You've got to be kidding?'

"Well, we are going to have some wild party tonight hey Yume?" Shinjuki said while slapping Yume on the back.

Yume gave his friend a hard glare, "Yeah, really wild." He said sarcastically.

"So what time is everyone coming Kairi?" asked Amura.

"Um well….." they were interrupted with a knock, "now!"

~Later~

After all the guest arrived and greeted with each other, the party began. Music was put on loud, while people danced and enjoyed themselves. Some people chose to sit and share conversation instead, talking about school, and other topics that teens usually talk about.

Kairi looked at her list over and over, and she knew that everyone was checked off. She then was about to get on top of a chair to announce game time, when another knock came at the door.

Yume looked towards the door, "More people? Kairi anymore people and we stop the party!"

Kairi ignored Yume and walked toward the door in confusion. "Who could that be, everyone is here, according to the list that is."

She made her way to the door while checking her list again, which did have everyone marked off as present. `I wonder who is here, everyone is checked off.'

She slide the door open, only to come face to face with a very handsome looking young man. Kairi eyed him closely; he had short, thick, black, wavy hair that was, well looked, as though it was very silky. He had light violet eyes that shone brightly. He was muscular, but was thin as well.

`Wow……he looks absolutely divine.' Kairi thought to herself in amazement.

She then started, "Um not to be rude or anything, but-" she was interrupted.

"I know you do not know me." The young man said in a soft, calm voice, "I'm new at the school, and I was just wondering if it's okay to join the party?"

Kairi looked at him over and over, she then smiled, "Sure you can join us."

He smiled, "I'm sorry if I'm causing an intrusion. Oh by the way, my name is Hiroku Aitsu."

"Oh well, welcome Aitsu-kun."

"Oh please, call me Hiroku," he said while putting his hand up.

"Um……Hiroku."

Kairi then showed Hiroku around the house, and then showed him to the living room. She introduced him to everyone, and made sure he was comfortable with his surroundings, which he was. She then grabbed a chair, got on top of it, and made her real announcement. "Okay everyone! It's now time for games!"

Everyone stared with plain expressions on their faces, not really caring it was game time.

Kairi put on a pout, "Oh come on people……oh yes, did I mention the game was spin the bamboo stick?"

The moment that was announced, everyone's plain unammused faces, turned into happy exciting faces. "OK!!!"

Yume and Amura looked at each other and then, at the same time, gave heavy sigh.

"These people kiss strangers for fun….we are in trouble." Was all Amura could say, while Yume just gave a nod of agreement.

~Playing the Game~

"OK, um…..Shiruya, you can go first!" Kairi said.

"Sure," Shiruya said. She took her hand and spun the bamboo, which landed on a boy classmate of theirs named Kyotsute.

Shiruya and Kyotsute stared at each other, both blushing like crazy. Kairi smiled. As it turns out, those two have had a crush on each other for many months. She got up from her chair and pushed them faster into Yume's room and then locked the door behind them.

"Kairi!" Amura shouted, "What are you doing?!?"

"Well I have to make sure they follow the rules, so I locked them in their until they kiss!" Kairi said crossing her arms proudly. Amura rolled her eyes, as well as Yume.

Many more couples went into Yume's room, such as Miya and Nichiyo, Rikutsu and Aizu, and many many more.

Then it was Kairi's turn to spin. "OK, my turn!" she yelled excitedly. She took her hand and spun the bamboo stick. It went passed many boys; Nichiyo, Rikutsu, Yume, Jusime, Hiroku. But as the stick slowed down, everyone kept their eyes on Kairi, seeing how calm she looked. The bamboo took its stop, and Kairi's eyes widened. She then lifted her face as her eyes meet with Shinjuki's. Yume and Amura were shocked as well. Their mouths hung open, while Kairi's shocked eyes stayed on Shinjuki.

Amura's shocked expression changed into an evil one. (A/N: trust evil looks are rare on her) "So, are you going or not Kairi?"

Kairi bent her face down, trying to hide the blush that was on her cheeks. She then stood from her spot, and walked toward Yume's room. Shinjuki got up as well but with a sad disappointed face. He, too, walked toward Yume's room.

`I guess I don't have a chance with her at all, she is mad that stupid stick landed on me.' Shinjuki sighed, "Oh well…" he mumbled.

~Yume's Room~

Shinjuki's eyes wandered around Yume's room, taking site of all the futuristic items. He had been waiting for Kairi to get out of her `shocked' mode. SO while he waited even longer, he grabbed a book and started reading. Once he had finished up to chapter three, he decided to steal a glance at Kairi. Surely enough, she was staring right back at him. He placed the book down, felling the uneasy tension in the room.

"Um……look Kairi, I understand if you don't want to do this." Shinjuki said to Kairi, although he really did wanted to, but it was up to her.

Kairi stared at him with her dazzled green eyes, nervousness written all over. He hands were shaking, as well as her insides. She then took a deep breath, and spoke.

"Shinjuki, in case you did not notice, I'm shaking like a leaf." she started, " you might think I don't want to do this," she said softly, then she brought her hand up to his cheek, and caressed it slowly, while Shinjuki just blushed, "but the truth is, I've been waiting for a moment like this for a long time." She said, tears starting to peek out of her eyes.

Shijuki's eyes widened when she said those words. His face gave more concern when he saw her wet tears that formed in her eyes. He took his hand and wiped her tears away, "Please don't cry, I hate it when girls cry."

Kairi looked into Shinjuki's red eyes with a light smile, "All girls, or just me?"

Shinjuki put on a `thinking' face and then answered, "Hhm, just you I think, others girls can cry a river for all I care."

"Shinjuki! How mean of you to say!" Kairi shouted.

Shinjuki gave a light chuckle, "Just kidding," He then took his thumb and rubbed her cheek while staring on the eye, with that unforgettable smile of his that would just about make any girl melt.

Kairi took her arms and encircled them around his neck. "I know I've seem as though I've always hated you, but the truth is, I've cared for you deeply, regardless of all the perverted things you've done." They both laughed a that comment. Shinjuki took both of his hands and grabbed Kairi's face. "I love you, Kairi Toyashi."

Kairi smiled, "And I love you, Shinjuki Hiruma."

They both leaned in very slowly towards each other. In a matter of seconds, their lips met in a light, pleasant kiss. The kiss then grew deeper into a fiery, passionate sensation. They continued their kiss, oblivious to the world around them.

~Living Room~

Yume sat, arms crossed, waiting impatiently. "What in hells name is taking them so damn long?!?"

"Oh stop being so impatient, and don't cuss." Amura said in a lecture tone.

"I'm just wondering why it's taking so damn long, for a pair like THEM, to kiss each other!" Yume shouted.

Amura rolled her eyes, ready to give him yet another lecture, when her attention was drawn to Yume's door at the sound of it opening. What she saw emerge from that room was something she thought she would never see in a million years. Kairi and Shinjuki were holding hands, laughing, talking, and actually getting along. Amura rubbed her eyes, making she that what she was seeing was only an illusion. But it was for real, and she was in total shock. Yume, in shock as well, had his mouth hung open completely not believing what he saw before him.

Kairi made her way back to her seat where she was sitting, which is next to Yume, while Shinjuki went to his seat next to Amura. Amura leaned into Shinjuki's ear and whispered. "Hey, what happened?"

"We will fill you in later, so don't worry."

Amura gave a pout, "Fine."

Kairi looked around to see who had not spun the bamboo yet. She numbered it down the people and then smirked. "Oh Amura, it's your turn."

Amura's smile turned into an `Oh man' look. "Must I go?" she asked.

"Yes, everyone has gone except for you and Yume."

"Then he should go, why am I to go?"

"Because it's a girl's turn."

Amura gave another one of her adorable pouts. "Fine."

Amura took her hand and spun the bamboo as hard as she could, giving the stick speed as fast as lighting. As the bamboo spun, Amura was feeling her insides twitter, but tried her best to hide it. Yume's face was serious, but on the insides he had his own butterflies flying. The bamboo slowed down, and to Amura time slowed done as well. With each turn her heart beat grew faster and faster, when finally the bamboo stopped.

~Flashback~

Kagome held Yume close to her arms as she walked up to her best friend's house. InuYasha had his arm around his wife, happy he had finally had a life of his own with no worries and risk of his family getting in danger. He could now live a peaceful life. Kagome stepped up to the door and knocked three light knocks.

"How is he?" InuYasha asked his wife, "Is he ready to meet his aunt and uncle for the very first time?"

"I'm pretty sure he is, and I think he is also ready to meet Amura." Kagome said bring her 2 year old son closer towards her.

"That's good." InuYasha exclaimed.

The door they stood in front of them opened, only to reveal Miroku with a cheerful smile on his face. "Konnichiwa, long time no see!"

Kagome smiled, "Konnichiwa Miroku-kun, how have you been?"

"I've been fine Kagome-san, you?"

"Just wonderful, may we please come in?"

"Oh I'm so sorry, please do come in."

InuYasha and Kagome stepped into the house, eyeing everything as they walked down the hall. Kagome made her way to the living room, InuYasha close behind her, and then saw Sango playing with a little girl who looked no more then the age of one.

"Sango-chan!" Kagome shouted excitedly.

Sango rose from her seat, "Konnichiwa Kagome-san, " she said walking over to Kagome, "and you to InuYasha, how have you two been?" she asked after she bowed.

InuYasha was the one to reply, "We have been fine." he answered plainly.

Sango looked at the baby in Kagome's arms, and then smiled, "This must be little Yume, may I hold him?"

"Oh, sure." Kagome replied while handing Yume over to Sango.

Sango took the baby in her arms and rocked him slowly, "Please, take a seat."

Kagome and InuYasha walked over to the sitting area and took their seats. Kagome looked at Yume is Sango's arms, and laughed at Yume's confused face, not knowing the woman who held him was his very own `aunt.' Kagome then spotted a little girl staring at her. She smiled at the child and walked over to her. "Why hello, and who might you be?"

The child looked at Kagome with big curious, yet scared, eyes. She then ran over to her mother with a frighten face, "Mommy, I'm scared." She said while digging her face into her mother's leg.

Miroku walked over to Sango, and grabbed his daughter. The girl then hid her face in her dad's chest, as he walked over toward Kagome and InuYasha. "Come on sweetheart, say hello to your Aunt Kagome and you Uncle InuYasha."

The child then slowly took her head out from her father's chest, and looked at the two figures in front of her.

Sango smiled at her daughter's expression, when Yume started to stir in her arms. He opened his eyes slowly, tiredness written all over him. When it knocked sense into him that the woman holding him was not his mother, he began to get scared. Sango put on a worried face, "Hey Kagome, can Yume walk? I think he wants me to put him down."

"Yes, he can, you may put him down if you want."

InuYasha was playing with the baby in Miroku's arms, "So, what's this cuties name?" InuYasha asked, even though he already knew the answer, but just trying to get his son's attention.

Miroku caressed the girl's hair and then answered InuYasha question. "This little angel's name is Amura."

"Dear, why not put Amura down with Yume so they can meet face to face?" Sango suggested.

"Sure" Miroku replied, putting Amura down next to Yume, who was playing around with a toy of his.

He then made his way to the couch his wife was at, and took his seat. The adults watched as Amura walked over to Yume and stared at him with huge curious, blue eyes. "Um, who are you?" she asks is a cute baby voice.

Yume stopped what he was doing and looked at Amura, "My name is Yume," he said while putting his hand out, "may I ask what your name is?"

Amura smiled at the boy's charm, "My names Amura." She said sweetly.

"Wow, what a lovely name." the boy complimented her.

"Thank you," she said giggling, "would you like to play with some toys in my room?"

"Sure," he answered, and then walked with her to her room.

Amura smiled at the boy's charm, "My names Amura." She said sweetly.

"Wow, what a lovely name." the boy complimented her.

As the children went to Amura's room, the adults stared in amusement. Sango then spoke.

"Oh, Yume is such a gentleman!" she said.

Kagome smiled, "Yes, well he does get it from his father."

"Ha-ha, very funny." He said sarcastically.

They all laughed, enjoying their reunion moment. "Wouldn't it be weird if our children grew to love each other?" Miroku said.

All was silent, when in a sudden moment, everyone started cracking up. "Right monk, like that's ever going to happen." InuYasha yelled while laughing his head off.

Sango then sat up, "I'm going to check on the children." She said while walking towards Amura's room. She slowly opened the door and peeked inside. And what she saw was the most kawaii scene that she ever laid eyes on. "Oh my- you guys come here, quickly.

The three adults stared at Sango in confusion, but made their way to the door. They looked and gasped. Yume and Amura were sleeping. Not only that, but Yume's arms were around Amura's waist as if he was protecting her from any harm that might come even close to her. There heads were nuzzled together, and their breathing was even with each others. Nothing could ruin their moment.

Over the years Yume and Amura grew closer and closer towards each other. They held hand by the time sixth grade came around. Every evening they would walk along the field, and every night they would look at the stars. Even though he was so young, Yume was falling for Amura, and knew he wanted to spend his whole life with her.

"Hey Amura?" Yume questioned. They were out in the field watching the stars, and Yume just had to bring up conversation since the silence was getting to him.

"Yes Yume?"

"Are you ready for Junior High, I mean it's going to be a whole new environment."

"I'm not really that scared, but I am kind of nervous. Why are you asking?"

"I've just heard many awful stories about it, how rude the kids are, plus there is enough homework there to end your life!" he said cautiously.

Amura giggled, "Silly, you know we will survive through it all, and of course there is more homework, it's Junior High!"

The two relaxed, wondering what their long future holds for them. Will they really survive? And if they do, will they survive together? Whatever happens, happens.

The day of Junior High came, and Yume was so nervous. He checked his watch practically every 30 seconds. He walked down the hall, searching for his Art class. He then came to a tent which had a wood plank that he the word `Art' marked in it.

"This must be it." He said to himself out loud.

Yume took a deep breath, and walked into the tent, awaiting what he was about to witness…

~End of Flashback~

Amura could not take her eyes off Yume, she was too much in shock. `Out of all the boys, it had to be him. Well I guess there is a positive side, at lest I'm not being forced to kiss a complete stranger! But still…I'm so scared.

Kairi smiled a huge grin as she got up from her seat and pulled up Yume, as Shinjuki did the same to Amura. "Hey, watch the clothes!" Yume shouted.

"Come on you, inside the room with Amura."

Kairi and Shinjuki pushed them into the room, and locked the door. While walking back to their seats, you could see a HUGE smile appear on both of their faces, proud of the job they have just done.

~Yume's Room~

"Kairi, that was very rude of you, and the moment I get out of this room, YOU ARE DEAD!" Amura shouted.

Yume sat on his bed, looking outside of his window beside him. He was so nervous, although he did show it. `Well for once in my life, I'm scared, and of her."

Amura walked over to Yume's bed and sat down with Yume. She gave a big sigh and crossed her arms. `I can't believe I'm stick in this situation. Out of all the boys, Yume. The only upside to this is that he is the only boy I'm close to!'

"Well, this is awkward." Amura said breaking the silence.

"Yeah, I guess you can say that."

"Who ever thought that this would happen?"

Amura looked at Yume's shy look. "Yume, if I may ask," he gave a nod, "whatever happened to us?"

Yume looked at her, "What do you mean?"

She put her head down, "Well I mean, we use to be the best of friends, even more than friends," she brought her head back up, "what happened to us?"

Yume looked at her, seeing her face with hurt eyes pained him. He knew what happened, and he blamed himself for it. It was his whole fault, the reason they hated each other, they reason they argued, and the reason they never spoke a word to each other for a whole year. He does not want to tell her, or else more pain would come to him, just remembering what he did was painful enough. "Um, I don't remember, it was a long time ago." He stated looking at her.

"True." Amura whispered disappointedly.

Both sat silently on Yume's bed, wondering why they stopped talking to each other. Well, Amura was anyway, Yume knew, just did not want to tell. Yume was nervous, too busy debating whether or not he should tell her. He then heard a sniffle, and looked toward Amura, who was crying. Filled with concern, Yume took his hand and put it around her shoulder. Don't cry." Was all Yume said.

Amura moved her head to come face to face with Yume. Her ice blue eyes met with his chocolate eyes, both staring deep into each other. Yume too his free hand and brought it up to her cheek. Amura gasped when his warm hand met her cold cheek, the softness feeling so soothing. She gave a comfortable sigh, "I'll try to stop, but I just can't help it."

Yume continued to wipe Amura's tears away with his thumb, while staring deep into her shimmering eyes. He moved his head close to hers, until their foreheads touched. "Yume, did you know you are a great comforter?" Amura told Yume.

Yume gave a small smirk, "Really?" he asked, "thank for the compliment."

Amura smiled, "You're welcome."

They stayed silent for a moment, foreheads still touched. Yume moved his mouth closer to Amura's as she did the same. Their lips then met in a light, feathery touch. They stopped, looked at each other, took a deep breath, and continued their kiss, which later, deepened. The two stayed their, enjoying the moment they were sharing.

~Living Room~

"Well something must have happened, because. They are taking awhile." Shinjuki said while dealing out a deck of cards that he held.

"Oh Shinjuki, just leave them alone, my whole plan was to have them go last anyway." Kairi said picking up her cards.

"Well, you are really good at making plans Kairi my dear." He said smiling.

"I know."

"Um, excuse me, but I did not have my turn." The soft voice of Hiroku stated.

Kairi's smile turned into an apology face, "Oh Hiroku, I'm so sorry, I was checking the people off my list that I forgot we had an extra guest."

"It'd okay." He said calmly.

"Well, I guess I have to drag them out then." Kairi said while getting up.

Kairi walked over to Yume's bedroom door. She gave three hard knocks and shouted, "Not to spoil any of the fun you two are probably having, but it's time to get out."

~Yume's Room~

Yume rolled his eyes, "Well what do you know, it's Queen Annoying."

Amura giggled, "Um……thank you for cheering me up Yume." She said blushing.

Yume had a blush tiptoe on his cheek as well, "Uh, sure, no problem."

They then got up and walked to the door. Yume stole one last glance at Amura, and then opened the door. They made their way to the living room, where they sighted everyone playing cards. "So what happened?" Kairi asked while still looking at her cards.

"We will fill you in later." Yume said while smiling.

Everyone then stopped the card game and took their regular seats at the table. "Let me guess, it's my turn?" Yume said cocking up an eyebrow.

Kairi giggled, "You had your fun, it's Hiroku's turn, I forgot he was here."

"Oh, yeah that's right, ok well, as long as I'm off the hook!"

Hiroku picked up his hand and went straight for the bamboo. He spun the stick, letting it's speed take control. Yume watched closely, hoping it would not land on someone special to him. (A/N: *hint hint*) He then looked at Hiroku's face, which was so calm, and he was smiling, as though he knew who the bamboo was going to land on.

The bamboo slowed its' pace, passing by many of the girls; Kairi, Shiruya, Aizu, Miya, Kiyo, Haruka, Setsute, but landed on……Amura.

Amura gasped, `What, again? And this time it's worse, I'm being forced to kiss a guy I don't even know!"

Hiroku looked up at Amura, smiling the whole time. He was so happy. `Good, I thought my magic was not going to work, guess I was wrong.' Hiroku stood and made his way toward Yume's room. Amura stood too, and followed very slowly. Hiroku made himself look shy, although he was really excited. They walked in Yume's room, as Kairi locked them in.

~Inside the Room~

Inside Yume's room was quiet. Hiroku was sitting down at the desk, while Amura was lying down on Yume's bed. She could smell his scent of early spring, s she nuzzled deep into his pillow. She loved his scent, always has. She wished she could be with him again, so she could always smell that smell of early spring.

Hiroku stared at Amura with jealously written all over him. `That girl has no idea what it coming' he thought to himself. `It's a good thing she is already on the bed.' He then scanned the room, making sure there was no way the people outside could see them. `No sign of anything, I'll make my move now then.'

Hiroku got up from the chair he was sitting at. He made his way over to the bed, where Amura still had her face in Yume's pillow. When she felt like someone was watching her, she removed her face from the pillow and looked up. She saw Hiroku's serious, but happy face. `Why is he smiling?'

Hiroku took his hands and grabbed Amura by the shoulders. Amura's eyes widened in shock. "Wha……What are you doing?"

He pushed her down on the bed, putting a lot of pain on her shoulders. "Taking what's rightfully mine."

Amura's eyes got even wider as he muttered that sentence. She opened her mouth to scream, when Hiroku covered her mouth with one of his hands.

"You think I'll let you call for help?" he said with mad eyes, "think again my love."

He took his other free hand and started to untie her shirt from the back. He stopped and started kissing her on the lips. Amura struggled in is grasp, doing all she could to try and escape. She was kicking, trying to scream, and was moving so impatiently. Hiroku deepened his kiss on her lips, as well as his grip on her shoulders.

Amura was terrified; she wanted to scream so loud. She wanted to scream, so someone would come and take this bastard off her. But no, this bastard would not let her. She started to cry, scared of what might happen to her. `Help, someone help me. I need help, please……Yume, help me."

~Living Room~

Yume sat against the wall, arms crossed and eyes closed, as he always did. He was waiting impatiently for Amura's turn to be over. The others sat at the table playing cards, not caring what was going on. Yume did not want to play cards so he just stood in the corner. He did not get hoe calm they all were. Amura was in a room with a guy she met today, and they are playing cards! `How can people like this game?'

Yume help!

Yume's ears perked up. His face was alert as he scanned the room, unaware if that was real or not. `OK, am I going crazy or what?" Just to make sure he was not going crazy, he stood up and walked over toward his room. As he passed the table, Kairi looked up at him confused, "Hey Yume, what are you doing?"

Yume ignored her and continued his way toward his room. When he was in front of the door, he banged it with all of his might. `Damn, it won't open!' He backed up while Kairi and the others only stared confused at him. He ran to the door and bashed it open. He scanned the room. He saw Hiroku standing by his desk, and Amura on his bed with her shirt untied, but covered herself with her arms. Yume's eyes filled with fury, his face was burning red, "EVERYONE OUT!"

At that instant everyone stole glances at each other. Every got up and walked out the door

, wondering what had happen for Yume to make the decision. Shinjuki stared at Yume in a worried way, hoping his friend won't blow his fuse again. He tip toed very slowly toward his friend's still figure. "Yume…….buddy, you OK?

"Leave! I mean it!"

Shinjuki backed away and looked at his friend with some concern, mixed with terror as well. "OK, I understand," he put his head down, took a deep breath, and then lifted it back up, "Hey, call me if you need anything." He said quietly. He then walked off, grabbing Kairi's hand on the way out.

Yume stood paralyzed, not knowing what to do next. He then spotted movement in the corner of his eye. He moved his head to see Amura's bare back facing him. She was trying to tie her shirt back up, but she was shaking so much she could not succeed in it. Since she could not get it back on, she grabbed one of Yume's pillows and covered her front with that. "I'm sorry." She said shyly.

Yume stared at Amura's back, "It's okay, you do not need to worry." He then walked to his shirt drawer and opened it. He took out a very LARGE t-shirt and handed it to Amura. "Here, take this, then meet me in the living room okay?"

Amura stared at him, and then took the shirt from him, "Thank you," she said shyly again.

"Like I said, no problem." Then he walked out of the room in silence.

Amura put down the pillow and grabbed the shirt from the bed. She then put it on, which made it look like she had a dress on. Before she left the room, she decided to look around Yume's room. She scanned the room, even though she had seen this room before in her lifetime, she found new items that were put here and there. There were pictures of him and some of his friends, and another picture that surprised her.

`He still has this?'

The picture was of Yume and her at their Elementary graduation. Yume had his arm around her, while Shinjuki was at the end of Yume with a huge smile and Kairi was on the other side of Amura, smiling as well. She remembered how happy they all were back then, no fights or anything. `What happened to us?'

~Living Room~

Yume took the two mugs he had in his hand and placed them on the tray. He was so angry from what had happened, he decided never to have a party again, no matter how many times Kairi begged. He then added marshmallows to the hot chocolate, knowing how much Amura loved marshmallows in her hot cocoa. He then felt a presence behind him. He looked to see Amura walking in the living room, in his extra long t-shirt that fitted like a dress on her. "Hey, want some hot chocolate?"

Amura gave a small smile, "Have I ever passed one up?"

Yume chuckled, "Guess not." Yume took the tray, and walked over to the living room, placing the hot chocolate on the small table. He then sat on a pillow cushion, also placing one down for Amura. "Here, sit down."

Amura took her seat, and took her hot chocolate. She sipped it slowly while staring at the bright, intense fire in front of them. All was silent, till Yume spoke.

"Amura, I know you are in panic right now, you're frightened, I understand that," he began. "But please, tell me what happened in there," he brought his face to meet with hers. "Please."

Amura stared at Yume, wondering how to tell about the incident. "Well, we entered your room." She started, "I went to your bed and lay down, he was at your desk. He then stood up, smiling the whole time. He pushed me down harder into the bed. I asked what he was doing, but he only replied "To get what is rightfully mine". She paused, with tears that started to form in her eyes. "He then……started to untie my shirt, while……kissing me all over. I was so afraid, I couldn't scream, I was just too shocked from fright. So I just cried instead, even though I knew no one would be able to hear me." She then busted out in a river of tears, her head in her knees.

Yume looked at her, he then took his arm and placed it around Amura. Amura's shaking figure calmed down. She brought her head up and stole a glance at him, she then gave a light smile, then placed her head, gently, on his shoulder. "You want to continue? You don't have to if you don't want to." Yume's hard voice said.

Amura's tears calmed down, as she lifted her head up to look at Yume. "Well, there really isn't anything else to say, but you just entered, or should I say, barged in to the room."

Yume gave a smile, "Yea well, I was worried."

Amura smiled back at him, "I could tell."

Yume chuckled, "Amura, if anyone ever tries to hurt you again, I promise to be there to protest you."

Amura's face grew a soft smile, which started to shine with tears of happiness. "Really?"

Yume nodded his head. He then took his hand and softly wiped Amura's tears away. Amura just stared at Yume, smiling. She then took one of her hands, and placed it softly on his hand that wiped away her tears. They both smiled at each other, without saying a word. Amura could see the fire playing in Yume's eyes, as he could see in hers. Yume moved, ever so slowly, towards Amura's face. Amura knew what was coming, and for some reason, did not care. She closed her eyes, waiting for the soft touch of his lips against hers.

When their lips came in contact, Amura gave a little jump, as if she was not prepared for the kiss. Yume opened his eyes slowly and looked at Amura. She stared back at him with a confused face, "What's wrong?" she asked.

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to do that." He said softly.

Amura's expression face fell with disappointment, "Are you sure?" she asked, "It felt to me as though you meant it." She said while looking at him.

Yume turned his head to look at her. His stare was unreadable, Amura could not tell what he was thinking. She wished she could. She took a deep breath, and started to stand, but Yume grabbed her wrist. "Sit down," he said in a demanding voice.

Amura looked at him and then sat down., "What's wrong?" she asked.

Yume just kept her eyes on her, not taking his eyes off her for a second. He then took his hand, placed behind her neck, and kiss on the lips, without any warning.

Amura's eyes widened in shock, but then she relaxed as his kiss enveloped her in ecstasy. The two stayed in that position for a long time, until Amura took her arms and encircled them around Yume's neck. Yume then broke the kiss, and placed his eyes on Amura's face. Amura opened her eyes slowly, and when opened, she stared into Yume's chocolate eyes.

"Amura?" Yume began.

"Yes?"

"Can you keep a secret?" he asked while stroking her hair.

"I think I can, depends on the secret." She said while staring at Yume's face.

"OK then," he started, "Amura Taijuki, I'm falling in love with you all over again."

Amura smiled, "I believe I am too, Yume Higurashi."

Yume gave her a smile and kissed her again. And the two stayed there, oblivious to anything around them. They were in their own world, where no one could interrupt them.

~End of Chapter 4~
