Chapter Three
"So, what's up?" Rose asked as the two of them walked on a path.
"Nothing," Kurama said softly.
"You're lying." Rose stopped where she was and looked at Kurama.
"Huh?" Kurama turned around and looked at her.
"I know you're lying. Something is up and you're hiding it from me."
Kurama didn't say a word.
"I can sense your spirit energy raising. Something is troubling you."
"It's nothing." Kurama started to walk when all of a sudden Rose shoves him against a nearby tree.
"I'm not going to allow you to wonder around like this!"
Her grip became tighter as she glared at him.
"Rose...."
"I just want to know. So I can help you." She took her hands off Kurama and looked at the ground. "To tell you the truth. I've never met anyone like you before..."
Kurama could feel his insides turn and that made him feel uncomfortable. "It's weird."
"What's weird?"
"I want to help you."
"You do?" Rose looked up from the ground and saw Kurama smiling at her.
"Yeah I do. I had a dream, well it was more like a nightmare, but I think it had to do something with you."
"Go on..."
"Well, first I walk into this room that was filled with smoke. It was dark in there too. I started to walk further in and that's when I felt a strong presence that was in the room with me...." Kurama swallowed hard. His knees went numb again and scenes from his dream flashed in his head.
"Kurama are you okay?"
"Y-yeah..." Kurama looked at Rose and saw that she had a concerned face on. "I'm fine. So, after that, I hear a cry for help..."
"And? Who was it?"
"You..."
"Me?"
"It gets weirder. After I hear you cry for help, I feel something go through my chest. I fell to the floor and laughter surrounded me. That's when a figure with red eyes appeared in front of me. It grabbed me by the neck and started choking me. I was gasping for air and then just passed out. That's when I woke up."
Rose didn't say anything, but look at Kurama with fear in her eyes. Kurama noticed this and was about to say something, when he saw group of people walk towards them.
"What's going on here?" Yusuke asked.
"Oh, nothing. Hi Yusuke. This is Rose," said Kurama.
"Nice to meet you," Rose said in a sweet tone.
"Kurama has a girlfriend?" Kuwabara asked, popping out of nowhere.
"No... we're just friends..." Kurama blushed.
"Not the way I see it." teased Kuwabara.
"Will you shut up!" Yusuke said as he shoved Kuwabara away.
Rose giggled. "You're friends are funny."
"Yes they are," agreed Kurama.
"What's wrong with him?" Rose whispered as she looked at Hiei.
"Oh that's Hiei. Don't worry about him. He's always like this."
Hiei just stood there, eyeing Kurama.
"Well, we better be going," Kurama said.
"We? As in you and her?" Kuwabara asked.
"You're such a pain in the ass you know that?!" Yusuke shouted.
"I'll see you guys later," Kurama said, walking by Rose's side.
"I didn't think Kurama was that type of a guy, you know?" Yusuke said as he watch the two disappear in the distance.
<Something's up with Kurama and I'm going to find out what it is.> Hiei thought to himself.
Kurama stopped and sat on a bench.
"There's nothing you can do," Rose said, sitting next to him. "Trust me."
"That's not true," Kurama said.
Rose looked at Kurama and realized something that was different.
"That nightmare that you had... you couldn't get anything on the figure?"
"No..."
Rose took Kurama's hand and looked at him. "It was just a dream."
"It was more than a dream Rose. I could feel the pain."
At this point Rose didn't know what to do. It wasn't just the dream that caused him pain, it was something else. Suddenly, Kurama sat up and looked around.
"What is it?" Rose asked.
"Someone here..." he said.
"O-kay."
"Someone evil."
"What?"
Rustling in the bushes could be heard and that's when two figures in black jumped out. One grabbed Rose and the other fought Kurama.
"This is stupid!" Kurama yelled. He quickly took the rose from his hair and transformed it into a whip. Then sliced the figure into pieces.
"Kurama help!" yelled Rose.
Kurama looked to the side and saw the other figure carry Rose away.
"Rose!" He ran after her, but when he got to the bushes, they were gone. "Rose...."
That night, Kurama sat at his desk, thinking. "I knew this was going to happen. Sooner or later..." he said to himself, making a fist. He looked at his clock and realized it was getting late. He got into bed and closed his eyes.
The dream happened once again, but this time the figure wasn't so dark. It stood there in the smoke, waiting for him. As Kurama got closer to it, he realized what it was. Kitsune ears and tail. It was like he was looking at his demon self. Red flashed in the kitsune's eyes as it charged at Kurama. Kurama dodged the first attack, but got hit with the second. He looked at his arm which was bleeding. The kitsune had sharp nails which almost sliced his arm off.
"Who are you?" Kurama asked.
The kitsune didn't say anything. It shot it's arm out and vines appeared and wrapped themselves around Kurama. Slowly the kitsune walked towards him. Kurama tried to break free but couldn't. The kitsune raised it's claws in the air then aimed them at Kurama's neck.
Kurama woke up with a gasp and sat up. He was panting hard and was covered in sweat. He put a shaky hand on his head and tried to calm down.
<It was similar to the dream I had the other night. What does it mean?> he thought. He looked out his window and saw that it was morning. Luckily it was a Saturday because he didn't want to go to school in the condition he was in. He plopped his head back onto his pillow and sighed.
"Shuuichi? Can I come in?" asked Shiori.
"Yes mother," Kurama said, whipping the sweat off of him.
"Shuuichi I need to go out for a while. I just wanted to make sure that you were up."
"I'm up."
"Okay, I shouldn't be long."
Kurama nodded and Shiori smiled then left the room. Kurama got out of bed and got dressed. That's when something hard crashed through the window. Kurama jumped back and saw that it was a brick which had a piece of paper tied to it. Kurama quickly grabbed the brick and took the paper off. It was a note saying that Kurama only had until tomorrow at sunrise to get to Rose or she will die. A map was also in the note. Kurama crumbled the note up in his hand and took off.
"So, what's up?" Rose asked as the two of them walked on a path.
"Nothing," Kurama said softly.
"You're lying." Rose stopped where she was and looked at Kurama.
"Huh?" Kurama turned around and looked at her.
