** Kurama found himself standing on the roof of a building, high above what looked like the lights of the Hong Kong Harbor, China. What the--? How did I get here?? Kurama peered over the edge of the roof; it was a long way down. Stepping back, he looked for an entrance leading into the building. There was no entrance. No stairs. No exit leading off the roof of any kind. The city below was glowing brightly, chasing the darkness of night away with its many colours. Tall skyscrapers towered over the building Kurama stood on. "Konnichi ha, Kurama."
Kurama spun around to face the owner of the voice. Hiei stood, arms behind his back, not far from him. He had a scowl on his face as he unsheathed his katana, the wind blowing his hair. Kurama studied him, staying where he was. "Hiei?"
"Thought you could get away from me?" The fire youkai snarled.
"What are you talking about Hiei? Why are we in Hong Kong?"
"I'm going to finish what I started!" Hiei jumped off the ledge and rushed the redhead, katana in hand. Kurama's eyes widened as he realized Hiei was going to hurt him and the only way off the building was to jump. Oh man. Hiei was closing in fast. Kurama wanted to understand the reasoning behind Hiei's apparent hate for him, but he had too little time to think about it as he prepared to jump. I can't do this. He thought, looking down into the harbor. Kurama turned to face his koi. Hiei lunged at him, using his body to shove Kurama off the edge of the building.
"Ahhhhhhh! Hiei!" Kurama barely managed to grasp the ledge as he fell and he slammed into the side of the building as a result. Winded, Kurama looked up to see Hiei standing above him, a purly evil grin on his usually unemotional face. "You're a fighter." He sneered. "That's fine. I'd like to see you survive this." Hiei crushed Kurama's fingers with his foot. Kurama cried out in pain and let go of the ledge. **

"Yusuke Urameshi. Please report to the office." The highschool's P.A. system droned. Yusuke, who was relaxing against the school's roof fencing, ignored it. He watched as students ate their lunches on the grass below. He even spotted his former rival Kuwabara waiting for his gang by the old fountain. Yusuke was just about to light a cigarette when Boton burst out onto the roof in her human form, seemingly out of breath. "Yusuke," she panted, "We've got a problem."

Back at the cottage, Hiei awoke with a start. Kurama was shrieking in his sleep next to him.
"Kurama!" Hiei shook him. "Wake up!"
Kurama's eyes flew open and he sat up, breathing heavily. Sweat covered him and Hiei reached his hand up to wipe the redhead's forhead. Kurama winced and tried to back away, succedding only in falling off the bed. He landed with a thump and moaned from his place on the floor.
"Kurama, are you alright?" Hiei peered down at him.
"Hiei?" Kurama asked meekly.
"Shimatta! You scared me. Why were you screaming?" Hiei asked.
"You...I...was dreaming again, I guess. It felt so real." Kurama sat up and rubbed his head. "I was falling off a building in Hong Kong city. It was so strange...someone pushed me off." He looked up at his spikey haired koi. "YOU pushed me."
Hiei laughed, "I'm glad it was a dream then, no one would survive a fall like that." He crawled out of bed and headed for the kitchen. "You hungry?"
Kurama watched him. "Yeah."
"I'll attempt to make some french toast then."
"Uh huh."
"You want cinnamon?"
"Sure."
"Brown sugar?"
"Whatever." Kurama climbed back onto the bed. He didn't act surprized when I told him he tried to kill me, did he? Was it just a stupid dream? Or was it a memory? Kurama looked down at his fngers. They were red and swollen.
