The seasons where changing fast the snows pouring down in an all out blizzard that year.
Time seemed to be still a tremble coming from nature before it was blanketed with snow. A world of white. Icy temperatures coming lakes freezing. For one person it was hell nothing green everything dead. He didn't like it one bit.
It was life though and he'd learned not to mess with it. Eyes closing as he sighed leaning against the gate he'd stood by day after day watching the snow blow through. Long red hair blew in the breeze Jade green eyes sinking half closed his coat blew in the arctic air before he turned quietly walking. No birds called in the cold that he thought of as summer or spring birds. The call of little birds echoing across his ears. In the demon world the most subtle shift of air could mean a change in weather. When his mother told him about a trip she'd won to west city he never thought he would end up fighting that though.
Five months earlier..
"Shuichi darling look here!" Shiori Minamino rushed to show her son what she'd won in the lottery drawing that day."Look their two tickets to West city on that cruise ship the Orange blossom..Do you want to go darling? We can make a holiday of it."
Shuichi smiled gently before speaking."If you wish me to I'll come mother..It should be fun to go on a trip."
Shiori smiled brightly before speaking."Of course Darling don't forget to pack your swim trunks just in case..Oh this will be so fun.."
Shuichi's thoughts though where on the friends he would be leaving for a while. Yusuke and Hiei where at odds once more it seemed. His eyes closing slightly as he walked to his closet packing. He'd need to tell them personally he was leaving for a while though. Then pray that Koenma realized if he didn't go his mother would think it odd of him. His mouth curving in a smile as he thought how much she'd come to mean to him.
From that day when he was little and she saved him from being hurt by the falling plates his heart had melted. A human was important to him. Most demons would laugh greatly at this, but Kurama knew it was important to his mother he go on this trip.
It would be the last one before school started they could get in. The argument that ensued between Hiei and Yusuke would push him to his rope's end though. Green eyes narrowing before he spoke coldly."I have never asked for time away from any jobs Koenma has put me on.. Nor have I shirked MY responsibilities once. I'm asking for this one time, to go on this trip with my mother.."
Yusuke went quiet thinking about it before he sighed nodding."Alright Kurama go on..I'll handle the wrath of Babzilla.."
Kurama breathed a sigh of relief before hugging Yusuke and nodding."I will Take care and keep an eye on Hiei...You never know what mischief he'll get into.." Hiei snorted before vanishing going off to rest more then likely. He did enjoy the treetops during the day when the sun was warm. Kurama not being around might make things a bit interesting for a while.
The day of the cruise was nice birds calling on the docks the wind blowing a perfect day to go on a cruise. Shuichi was carrying the bags with a little help from Yusuke who'd come to see them off. "Hey um Shuichi make sure not to get caught in a corner with all those girls on board.." Shuichi smiled before nodding slightly"Yes Yusuke I'll becareful.. I won't let myself be cornered..I planned on staying close to my mother anyways.."
With a nod Yusuke waved"Have a safe Trip you two!" Shuichi waved back his mother more interested in the view of the ocean before she to turned and waved back. The two of them walking to their cabin settling in. Since they were mother and son they shared a cabin with two beds in it. Kurama could not argue this point, seeing as having his mother's presence with him would soothe the feeling that was coming.
The first day of the trip was calm almost serene then he noticed something. A spiky haired man watching him curiously with a rather intense gaze and a frown. Kurama kept up with his mother though quietly walking with her listening to her talk. The man was point fully ignored as Kurama walked though he could not ignore the feeling of those dark eyes on him. The feeling if he just turned just right he'd see the person there on the edge of his perception was enough to make him worry. Those eyes were what alarmed him the most.
Eyes like that he hadn't seen before cold eyes intelligent eyes. Not in human world anyways. For a moment he wondered if it was a Demon having snuck on the ship but he sensed no demonic powers. All he sensed was Ki.
He was starting to get slightly annoyed by mid afternoon and when his mother went back to the cabin to lay down and he remained on deck he spoke coldly."What are you looking at..." The man smirked for a moment before speaking."The water why?"
Kurama turned icy cold green eyes on him before his head tilted to the right a bit his eyes narrowing."Funny...Your lying.." The man smirked more before speaking"Prove it princess.." Kurama growled softly under his breath the mans eyes narrowing as he heard it before Kurama spoke."...Perhaps another time..."
With that he'd turn walking away from the man. When the man did not follow this time Kurama went back to the cabin he shared with his mother. Unlocking the door quietly he sat by his mother's bed as she smiled."Shuichi are you alright? Did someone bother you?"
Shuichi lost the cold look on his face smiling softly"No mother I'm just a little tired is all.."
Shiori nodded before taking her son's hand."Shuichi why don't you lay down then I was just going to go on deck myself.. I thought after such a nice nap I'd walk around a bit.."
Kurama nodded a bit before speaking" Alright mother becareful though is there somewhere you'd like to meet up at?"
Shiori thought about it a moment before speaking"What about that darling little spot with the refreshment stand? We could grab something cold there to drink.."
Kurama nodded before catching a glimpse of the man walk by once more. After his mother closed and locked the door he felt better. The room was enclosed if anyone came in he'd see them since there was only the window or the door to come in from.
What he didn't count on was the fact that someone was fast enough to get in when his mother left. Kurama lay looking at the ceiling lulled by the waves before he felt his hands caught hold of. Green eyes darted looking for the assailant
When he saw the spiky black hair and dark eyes he narrowed his eyes speaking coldly."Your breaking and entering.."
"Hardly the door was open..It's not my fault your mother likes to chat with it open.."
For a moment neither of them did anything glaring at one another before the stranger leaned down a long brown furred tail swaying side to side behind himself. For a moment Kurama was sure he was dreaming before it brushed his thigh.
A sharp intake of breath coming before Kurama spoke"Get off of me!"
The stranger smirked before speaking"No I don't think I will..I'm curious what kind of man runs around smelling like flowers..More importantly what kind of man has a hair style like that.."
Kurama glared before speaking"I do I happen to like plants...Care to find out what their capable of.." The man smirked before wrapping his fingers around Kurama's neck slowly."...Your going to lay there and be a good boy while I have a sniff of you..There's something not right about you human.."
Kurama glared when the man brought his face down once more sniffing almost delicately a disturbed look coming."Flowers...What kind of human are you?!"
Kurama spoke quietly"The kind you do not want to mess wit-Ahh!" That tail was in a rather interesting spot brushing along his inner thigh gently The stranger settling on top of him pinning his hands so easily had Kurama worried. He'd lost control his eyes widening as the man smirked.
"You don't like losing control do you..Interesting...I get the feeling that your not used to it are you human?"
Kurama opened his mouth to respond before that tail brushed again this time in a more sensitive spot making him flush his breath leaving him in a loud moan of sorts.
The man smirked before leaning close to Kurama's ear speaking"Does it anger you? Losing control like that?"
Kurama's eyes narrowed as he finally started to put up a slight struggle. The man chuckled softly before once more pinning those pale hands down his tail now snapping side to side.
"Oh you are an interesting one..But don't worry I won't hurt you..Not unless you give me a reason to.." "But my..Ahh! Mother could..Ahh!"
The man leaned in Getting a hold of one shoulder gently sinking his teeth in pressing lightly with them before drawing back.
"What? Walk in? All the better reason TO do it.." The man smirked before licking the side of that pale neck speaking softly"But I won't...I'll leave you alone for now little rose..I'll just have all the more pleasure plucking those petals later.."
"Who are you..." The man smirked before gripping Kurama's chin speaking softly."My name is Vegeta..And I am the prince of all Saiyans.."
With that the man or Vegeta as he identified himself as was gone Kurama blinked and he was gone. What in the world was a Saiyan? He'd never heard of one before. Where they a monkey demon perhaps? Kurama didn't know really.
A slight sigh coming before he shook his head giving himself a few moments to take care of his appearance before going to meet his mother.. This left him with a lot to think about. Docking at West City Kurama and his mother went around doing some quick shopping for small things to bring home to their friends.
Boarding the Cruise ship for the return trip he noticed that man Vegeta was no longer on the ship. A tingle where he'd been nipped made him shiver though his eyes closing. It would be good to get home and forget all about Saiyans or their prince..
