Chapter 1: a memory in a dream

 

In a forest in the makai three people pause and smile triumphantly a t each other. In ones hand is a mirror edged in gold. From a distance these three figures may look human but in fact they are demons. Having just robbed a top secret vault in the palace they begin to run. The tallest of them stands around seven feet, he has long silver hair two silver fox ears stand out of his head and he has a silver tail. He is wearing a white tunic. He smiles down at the figure running next to him. The girl returns his smile her blue eyes twinkle in the moon light. She is also a fox demon with black hair, her ears and tail are white. The man on his right is a bat demon. He has black hair and two black wings stick out of his back. On his head he wears a pointy hat that's back has been cut of to allow his pony tail to come through. They run faster now there pursuers close behind. Suddenly a pendent breaks off of the bat demons neck he turns quickly to retrieve it.

“Kuronue no!” the silver haired kitsune yells after him. The girl watches in horror they all know there is little chance he will survive.

“I need it.” Kuronue yells back to his partners. Just as he bends to grab the pendent from where it lay in the bamboo leaves, the ground seems to fall in and he is pierced with bamboo. The two kitsunes gasp in horror and the male heads forward.

“Run Kurama, leave me.” Kuronue yells to his friend who stops in his tracks. The girl reaches out and touches his arm, “Kurama.” She says her voice quavering. He turns noticing the tears in her eyes, dropping the mirror they run. Five minuets later the guard has caught up to them. Kurama pulls the girl into a corner surrounded by bamboo trees. He covers her mouth and crouches waiting for the guard to pass, but they don't, they stop right in front of the place where the two kitsune lay. He pulls her closer, her warm tears fell gently against his skin but she is silent.

“Blast,” a man says, “they got away.”

“Captain if I may speak.” another says

“Yes.”

“Why did they run? It was the perfect trap… are they really that heartless? And even more why did they drop the artifact?” Kurama gives a low growl at the mans question. He pulls the girl closer to him ready to give his life in exchange for hers.

“It was a trap?” she whispers in her choked up voice, “and he knew” he nods in reply though she can't tell.

 

“I know,” the guard captain says, “we'll get them though.” They leave and the two kitsune stand, Kurama holds the girl close to him.

“It was a trap; they cut his pendant and killed him in hopes of catching us. He sacrificed his life…” Kurama says in a low tone filled with hate, “I'll kill them.” Letting go of the girl and begins to run. She throws her arms around his waist stopping him and buries her head in his stomach sobbing.”

“Why are you they would kill him, he sacrificed his life to save us. If… if you go back now they will kill you! What good would that do?!” she sobs. He relaxes realizing she is right. Pulling her to her feet he wraps his arms around her allowing her the comfort of his embrace. He tries not to show his emotions but when she glances up she can see a tear slide gently down his face over the loss of a dear friend.

Shuichi Minamino gasps and sits up in bed his green eyes wide. He looks quickly around his room then places his head in a shaking hand, his red hair falls gently around his face.

“Why that night?” he wonders aloud of all the past memories that could have been pulled up why that one? He steps quietly out of bed still shaken. Glancing at the clock he decides he should get ready for school. Once finished dressing he sits at his desk and scribbles a few notes before being interrupted by a loud rap in the window. He looks over at the window and can't help but laugh slightly at the sight of Hiei perched out side his window thoroughly socked via the rain. He opens the window allowing Hiei to hope threw, in return for his hospitality he receives a glare from the little fire demon who then goes in search of a towel. Hiei re-enters the room to find Kurama sitting on his bed, his eyes are closed and his face is anything but relaxed. Kurama is thinking back to his dream he knows what will happen next, a few weeks later in search of revenge himself and the girl, Yuri, will rob the palace of the mirror once again. Thins time they will be caught after seeing her slaughtered and hearing her tell him to avenge Kuronue's death he will to be hit.

“Hn, kitsune don't kill your self.” Hiei says pulling Kurama from his thoughts. Kurama looks at him giving a half hearted smile.

“What up?” Hiei asks perching on kuramas desk. He tips his head to the side trying to figure out what is with his friend.

“It's nothing.” Kurama says, “Just a dream.”

“About what?” Hiei asks fiddling with a mechanical pencil trying to make it less obvious that he's interested.

“One of Yokuo's memories.” He says watching Hiei with amusement as he rapidly clicks the pencil.

“Hn.” His Hiei's usual reply, he continues to click the pencil. Kurama shakes his head watching as Hiei turns the pencil's point to face him. He continues clicking; the lead that he has been clicking suddenly flies out of the pencil and hits him in the forehead. Shocked Hiei falls off the desk before scrambling to his feet and throwing the pencil out the still open window .Kurama, who had been laughing, stops and looks at Hiei, “I needed that.” Collecting his books he leaves the room. Hiei watches him go rubbing his forehead, he sits on the bed preparing for a long day of avoiding the kasan and staying dry.

A girl gasps and sits up in bed. She has just had the same dream as Kurama and is really confused. Unlike him she has forgotten everything from her past.

“I've seen those people.” She mutters and moves her feet so they are dangling over the side of her bed. Her mouth lips the name Kurama and Kuronue.

“Were have I heard those names?” she wonders aloud as she enters her bathroom. She glares at her reflection, her light brown hair hangs a few inches below her shoulders, her eyes are crystal blue with small light orange streaks going through them. She hates her eyes they are always getting her so much attention. She pulls son her uniform, grabs her books and heads for the door. (A/N she goes to Kuramas School)

 

~~*~~*~~*~~*~~

 

Kurama walks down the street holding an umbrella and thinking. He sees a girl run out of the gate ahead of him holding a school bag over her head in attempt to keep her brown hair dry (not working).

“Ami.” He calls, the girl turns to look at him with crystal blue eyes. He motions for her to take the spot next to him under the huge umbrella, she runs to it.

“ Morning.” Ami says as she rings the water from her uniform. Kurama nods in reply then returns to his thoughts. They haven't known each other for long, she just moved into the area at the start of the school year. Having lived there most of his life Kurama already has several friends to keep him preoccupied not to mention about a zillion evil stalkers. They don't talk much or know each other well, every now and then they meet on the walk to school because they travel the same rout. However they both admire one another. Ami because he has a lot of people who like him and can all ways manage to keep his `cool', she on the other hand had only a few close friends and a million enemies. This is exactly what Kurama likes about her, she had a few close friends she could rely on for more than a chat and was able to speak her mind.

“ So… any good at dream translation?” Ami asks

“Huh?” Kurama says looking down at her.

“Are you any good at translating dreams?”

“No but I have a friend that is really into that sort of stuff. Why?”

“I've been having this really weird dream lately. I think I know the people but can't put my finger on it. Who's your friend?”

“Her name is Botan.”

“Oh, could I meet her?”

“I guess. I'm going to our ah… hangout (Genki's temple) after school you want to come along?”

“Sure.” She says with a smile, “So how was your weekend Shuichi?”

“Fine I guess.” He says slightly shocked at the change in subject `if you don't count the world nearly ending… again.'

“ Oh come on you've got to have done something better than `fine I guess`” she say sarcastically.

“No not really.”

“Yes he did!” a boy's voice comes from behind them. They turn to see a boy wearing a green jump suit standing there.

“Oh hello Yusuke.” Kurama says nodding to the boy, Ami just stares.

“Yo Kur…er Shuichi,” Yusuke says raising an eyebrow, “who's the chick?” Ami looks at him with shock then gives him a deep glare.

“The chicks name is Ami and she is a friend of Shuichi's. Who the hell do you think you are?” Ami says angrily.

“Wowo,” Yusuke says backing up, “chill out, I'm sorry god! I'm Yusuke Urimeshi and I happen to also be a friend of Mr.Minamino hears. He finishes resting his hand on Kurama's shoulder; it is obvious he finds amusement in Kurama's human name. Kurama roles his eyes in reply. Ami gives Yusuke another log glare before heading toward the school leaving Yusuke and Kurama.

“So really Kurama who is this Ami girl?” Yusuke asks.

“A friend, why?”

“Her energy is odd for a human.”

“I realized that this morning, I've never felt it before.”

“ Sooooooo?”

“It's as though some pit of her past life is being dug up.”

“Oh…………….ah and how does that work?”

“Well sometimes through meeting someone from that past, or Dejavu but in Ami's case I think it's through a dream.”

“Why a dream?”

“Just now she spoke to me of a dream where she thought she knew the people but couldn't put her finger on it.”

“So it's like she's remembering something?”

“Yes.”

“So whad' else she say?”

“Not much I got the idea she didn't want to tell me if I couldn't help her understand it. I'm going to get her to talk to Botan after school maybe she can help.”

“oh.” Yusuke says. The bell rings and Kurama turns heading into school.

 

~~*~~*~~*~~*~~

 

Kurama stands outside the school waiting for Ami. The rain clouds from earlier have blown by letting the sun shine. Kurama looks at his watch wondering if the events of that morning had made her decide not to come. As he turns to leave he sees a girl running toward him. Ami smiles at him as she reaches where he stands.

“Sorry I'm late I had to finish a test. It doesn't really matter though I'm gonna fail it anyways!” She says. He laughs lightly, “You shouldn't say that it's probably not true.”

“Yeah right I've never past a Geo test.”

“Oh well maybe you'll get lucky.” He says as they leave the school yard and head toward the “hang out”. They walk in silence until they see Genki”s temple up ahead.

“I should warn you,” Kurama says, “I hang around some pretty odd people.”

“Oh how so?”

“Well lets see there's an old lady who likes to play video games and is constantly talking about your spirit, she owns the temple. There is Yusuke who you meet earlier, Kuwabara his side kick so-to-speak who is a pervert and will most likely tell you you're beautiful and ask you to marry him. There's Hiei who is a pyromaniac, about two feet tall and has hair that defies the laws of gravity. Then Botan, who is abnormally perky, has blue hair and deeply enjoys the business of others. Every now and then there's a guy who pops up named Koenma, he has a pacifier and Jr. tattooed on his forehead. That's about it.” He finishes holding up six fingers, Ami stairs at him blankly.

“Oh.” She says as they enter the yard. They walk up the cobble stone path to the temple.

“Oh ku…Shuichi hello!” a females voice says from behind them. They turn to see a girl who looks to be in her mid-teens standing there, her cotton candy blue is pulled into a high pony tail, her pink eyes are joyful.

“Hello Botan.” Kurama says. Ami gives Botan a quick look over and decides she likes her.

“Who's your friend?” Botan asks cheerfully.

“This is Ami; she was hoping you could translate a dream for her.”

“Hmn.” Botan says placing a hand against her chin and examining Ami, “I'll do it!!” she finishes grabbing Ami's wrist and dragging her in the direction of the temple.

 

~~*~~*~~*~~*~~

 

The room is dark except for light gently filtering in threw the paper door and a few candles. It smells strongly of incants due to the fact that there are some sitting in between the two people. Ami quietly tells Botan her dream the room makes her nervous so she talks quickly. Once she has finished Botan sits quietly for a moment. She knows the names and when put to the description she knows they she knows they are the Youko and Kuronue she knows, the only thing she can't do is understand it. She doesn't know that there was a girl. She nodes slightly and smiles.

“I believe I know exactly what your dream may mean however I need to look into it a little further.”

“Oh.” Ami says rubbing her head and wondering why her dream needed “looking into”.

“I know, why don't you come back tomorrow I can tell you your dream then we can hangout.”

“Ah… ok,” Ami says,” that sounds nice.” She stands as Botan does and fallows her toward the main house.

“So you go to school with Shuichi right?”

“Yes”

“Are you good friends?”

“No not really we just talk every now and then.” Says Ami nervously.

“Right but you like him…”

“Wha… ah ye, no! No I do not!”

“Uh-huh and he likes you.”

“What?”

“Yep, I can see it in his eyes.” Botan says pointing two fingers at her eyes and then at Ami smiling. Ami laughs slightly as a blush creeps across her face.

“I'll prove it to you,” Botan says,” when we get to the house smile and wave. I'll guarantee you get a happy reply.”

“Yeah right.”

“I'm serious try it.” She nudges Ami in the side as the house comes into view. Kurama is leaning against a pole reading he looks up as he hears them coming. Ami smiles and waves, just as was suspected he smiles and returns her wave.

“Told ya so.” Botan mutters, Ami just laughs.
