Yu Yu Hakusho Fan Fiction ❯ A soul, a life, a pendant... ❯ Help me... ( Chapter 1 )

Kuronue: I have a spotlight in a new story!

Hoshi: And I'm getting you a new body…lucky me.

Kuronue: You are lucky; you get to be with me for as long as it will take.

Hoshi: *sigh* If I owned Yu-Yu-Hakusho, Hiei would tell Yukina about being her brother, and Kurama and Hiei would be bi… and a couple. *smirk*

Kuronue: What about me?

Hoshi: You're dead!

Kuronue: …So? *fumes as Hoshi starts the story*

 

I was walking, just looking around at this garage sale; no big deal right? I was looking for something cute to buy, just some trinket of no value; isn't that what everyone else does? All of a sudden, something caught my eye; I saw a red gem pendant on a leather cord. I'm not really on for jewelry, but it was the most beautiful thing I saw, it looked like a real ruby gem on a pure silver backing, and it was only fifty cents. I bought it, no thoughts on why something that looked so old and valuable was so cheap. The elderly woman selling it looked pleased to see it go too; I didn't think about that either. I just slipped it on my neck and walked to the car.

 

I wore it all day long after that, and I didn't take it off as I took my shower or when I went sleep. That night I had a dream, the most alarming dream I have ever had. I was running to, or from something (now I know that was to this same pendant). Then as I grasped it in my hands I was caught with bamboo spears going through my body. I scrambled to get back up, but more fell and held me. I yelled to a silver fox-like man or demon to go without me, and he yelled back. I told him to go on anyway, he nodded grimly and ran.

 

I woke up after that. Then next night, I had the dream starting from where it had left off. I still hadn't put two and two together, for that night I had worn the pendant to bed again. This dream I was still impaled, and left for dead. I blacked out focusing on the pendant clutched in my pale hands. The next dream I was in the pendant, I saw the world through its smooth red shell. I went through a series of dreams where I was passed from demon to person, from person to demon. Then I reached a dream when I saw myself pick the pendant off of a table, and buy me… I was pleased that someone so young and full of life had picked me up. For all through those dreams I've had the feeling of becoming stronger as each person wore me and how long they wore me for. The next night...

~*~*~

The next night...I dreamed again, a male no more than eighteen years of age approached me in a space that I could only see as his mind. It must have been his for all of the memories I had witnessed were around us, each one playing on a different mounted screen. I looked him over again, from his raven hair to his torn clothing; his amethyst eyes to the demonic bat wings that framed his torso. This was the man who the silver fox demon called back to; the name lingered in my mind, it was Kuronue.

 

He came closer, a twisted grin or his (I'll admit, attractive) face. I opened my mouth to scream, he promptly stopped me with a kiss. I slumped to the ground when our lips parted, "Thank you." he told me, in a low raspy tenor sound I still love to hear.

 

"For what?" I asked, having regained the part of my mind that allowed me to speak. My tone was squeaky; he smirked knowing I was afraid. He had been around to see me taunted and teased by those in my classes; he knew my fears and me better than I knew myself. And I've known me since I was born; he's known me for a week and a half.

 

"Why, for keeping me on... My dear. No one else did after the second dream, I had started to lose hope in finding one who would stay around long enough for me to get a new body." he licked his lips, kneeling down next to me he whispered in my ear, "And I'm glad the person who will help me is female... You will help me, right?" I was overcome, he was breathing on my ear and his hands looked ready to wander. I nodded, for that was all I could do at the time; he stood up and laughed at my timid actions, "Are you afraid of me? Or is there something about me..." he trailed off, picking me up from the ground and holding me close to his body, "Something that you like?" seeing the fear and shock in my eyes, he let me go. "I thought so. Just wear the pendant around your neck, and I will do the rest..." he told me, the dream fading as I woke up to the daylight...

 

Hoshi: Yay! First chapter done!

Kuronue: You made me act like a slut!

Hoshi: No, you were just using your body to get what you want.

Kuronue: --# that's being a slut...

Hoshi: Well, that's your problem not mine. ;P
