A/N: So I've been fangirling over Kurama for a very long time and decided to write a story about him. I had written a story similar to this one, as in similar plot and character but at the same time I've done so minor tweaking plot wise between the main girl character's past with Kurama when he was Yoko. Review and let me know what you guys think!

It was that dream again. Ever since I could remember, the same dream kept reoccurring ever so often. Now more than ever it seemed. For some reason, it was so vivid, so real. It was as if I had experienced it, but it couldn't be real. Demons and magic didn't exist. Not to mention, I was different. I didn't look like me as the Rin my dreams had blue hair and was much taller than I was, but the man with white hair and fox ears would mutter my name.

My eyes were closed as I enjoyed the breeze passing through my hair. I was well aware that he would come for me soon seeking his revenge. "It took you long enough," I murmured, opening my eyes and turned to look at the handsome demon behind me. "I admit I'm a little disappointed. It took you longer than I expected to find me."

The silver haired demon snarled, his fist clenching. "Rin," he spat angrily. "Where is it? Where is the jewel?"

I turned my body to face him. I smiled sadly and closed my eyes. "So you chose the jewel over me," I whispered sadly and moved closer to the edge. I could hear the river roaring loudly even though it was a long drop. I pulled my staff up so that the head of it was eye level with me and ripped out the diamond. "Yoko."

Yoko took a cautious step forward. "Rin don't do this. You don't have to, just had it over to me and I can overlook this."

"I cannot let you do that Yoko. This jewel will kill my kind, should it be in the hand of another."

"Rin," he warned me, readying himself to pounce. He swiftly threw a thorn, grazing my neck, making it bleed slightly.

"I'm sorry," I apologized and dropped the diamond over the edge.

Yoko's eyes widened slightly as he ran past me, stopping just over the edge in time to see the diamond disappear in the water. He snarled. "Rose whiplash," he whispered in a deathly calm voice, sending fear to course through my whole body.

I felt the thorns of his favorite weapon encircle my waist, tightening enough to penetrate my clothes and make me bleed. "I love you," I confessed.

There was a silence between us as everything we had shared flashed before my eyes. From the first time I ever laid eyes in him to the time he first spoke to me with his ever-present smirk. A single tear fell from my eye as I stared at him, the thorny whip tightening. I lost the feeling in my hands so with a small thud, my staff it the dirt ground before us.

"Rin," my name escaped his lips for the last time. "I'm sorry."

"Remember your mortality, Yoko. Your time will soon come and you will be forces to leave your demon body" I warned him cryptically. With a small pull from his hand that held his whip, I felt the thorns pass through my body, and then everything went black.

I woke up in a cold sweat, heaving heavily. My body gave out an involuntary shudder as I remembered the dream as if it actually happened to me. Instinctively, my hand went over to my neck where Yoko had thrown a thorn at me. Oddly enough, my neck had a scar similar to the scar the Rin in my dream received.

Throwing myself back onto my pillow, I willed myself to try and get some sleep. Curling into a ball, I closed my eyes and counted sheep.

"Rin, get up, you'll be late for school," Ayumi Mori knocked on her daughter's room before opening.

Groggily, the tired teen slowly got up, rubbing her eyes and yawned. "I missed my alarm again?" she asked.

Ayumi gave her daughter a sympathetic look. "Nightmares again?" she asked in a concerned voice.

Nodding, Rin stretched and got up. "Yeah," she replied. Usually, whenever Rin had that dream it was hard of her to sleep, so she lied to her parents and passed it off as severe nightmares. In a way it was like a nightmare, she felt what the Rin in her dreams were feeling. Every emotion and every physical pain she received from her lover.

"I made your breakfast on the go, you're running pretty late."

Rin faked a smile and quickly got dressed. She took her breakfast from her mother's hand and kissed her cheek. "Thanks Mom."

"Be careful," she yelled at her daughter, who bolted out of the house as soon as she got her breakfast.

It wasn't a long walk form the Mori house to Meiou High School, but it wasn't enough time for Rin to get there without being late. She ran past the school gates just in time for the last bell to ring and the gates start to close. She cursed under her breath as she started to huff and lose her breath. "I'm going to be late," she muttered, running through a practically empty hallway. "Sorry I'm late," she said to the teacher as she slammed the door open.

The homeroom teacher looked at Rin with a glint of disappointment and just nodded her head. "Its okay Rin, now take your seat."

Rin blushed as she made her way to her seat near the back, beside the window. She could hear some girls whispering, it was not like Rin to be tardy. Rin was one of the top students in the senior grade, she was always on time and was the picture of calm and collected, but to day she was not that picture. A few buttons from her blouse was loose, her hair was unruly and her skirt was wrinkled.

Outside the school was a tall blonde haired woman standing on a lamppost. Her hair flying violently as the wind swished about. She kept her eyes trained on the tired black haired girl who had just moments ago burst through the door. Her intent was neither malicious nor dangerous; she stared at the young girl almost lovingly, but masked it with a hard and cold face.

"Soon Rin. Soon I will release you from that disgusting human body," she whispered. "I finally found you and I won't fail you now."
