Love's Embrace
Chapter 1: Dreamscapes and Memories


Author's Note: Small note before we begin.
I've sorta revamped the story. I'm going through all my stories trying to fix errors and make them better. I've gotten another chapter in here too. I also have in my head, everything up to the ending. XD
This should be fun. Thank you all, and I hope that you enjoy the story!


"Kurama." The name came out in a gasp followed by a moan, as the two bodies writhed together under the stars. The redheaded woman threw her head back and moaned once more.

A chuckle could be heard from the male currently inside her. His long silver hair moving with his body as he continued to pound into her. "Open your eyes, my Yanagi." He growled.

She moaned once more and picked her head up, placing her hands onto his ears and stroking them. The silver haired male groaned and held the woman closer, nipping her neck and making her cry out. "Open them." He growled once more.

She nuzzled his neck...

Kurama awoke from the dream breathing heavily. Again it had happened. Why now, after over 20 years, was he dreaming of her? She was gone, and there was no way to get her back. She must believe he had abandoned her, if she still lived.

Kurama sat up and raked a hand through his own red locks, sighing heavily as he did so. He could remember the way she felt and tasted, how she had looked, everything except her eyes.

He growled as he got up and went to shower. It was almost morning, so he readied himself for the coming day, trying put her and the dreams out of his mind.

School

"Shuichi? Shuichi!" Kaito waved his hand in front of the red head's face.

Kurama jumped slightly, though Kaito wouldn't have been able to see it. He looked up at his human friend questioningly.

He and Kaito had applied to the same college and had both been accepted, so once more they were in classes together.

"Sorry Kaito, my mind was elsewhere. Was there something you needed?"

"Are you alright Shuichi? You've been spacing out often, and it looks like you're not getting enough sleep at night. I know you're naturally pale but you look haggard." Kaito said sitting down in the desk in front of Kurama and turning to him. He put his head closer and spoke lower, so as not to be heard.

"Is it another case? What does Spirit World have you and the others doing now?" Kaito asked, his eyes shining with interest.

"No, there's not a case. Yuuske was fired, remember? I've just been having some reoccurring dreams of late. Nothing to be worried about." Kurama smiled and then left.

Kaito frowned as he watched Kurama leave.

Genkai's Temple

"I wasn't expecting a visit today. How are you doing Kurama?" Genkai said as she greeted him.

"I'm fine, I was hoping to come here for some time to reflect and relax. I remember you saying there was a hot springs near here. Would you mind if I used them?" Kurama said as he smiled and bowed.

"Not at all. Just make sure to set up a barrier, as there are more demons in the area then the last time you all were here." Genkai bowed back and gestured him inside the temple.

She watched him leave and frowned. "Something seems off." She muttered, but then shrugged her shoulders and walked back to resume her game.

Hot Springs

"Maybe I can remember and sort out the memories, I may have some bit of pease." Kurama sighed as he disrobed and entered the steaming water. He sighed once more as the water lapped at his skin, heat flowing into him and warming his chilled skin.

Kurama became drowsy as he sat in the hot springs and was soon fast asleep.
