dream
Blood was splattered all across the pale shoji doors. Who's blood it was, was unknown for it was either the youkai's or the human's. Heavy breathing sounded out in the cold, quiet room. Both figures stood a few feet away from each other, swords held limply in their hands. Blue stared at gold and gold stared back at blue. Neither made a move to attack the other, they just stood there, blood on all sorts of places on their person.
"Kurenai." a deep voice spoke.
"Sesshoumaru." a soft yet hard voice replied.
Sesshoumaru took a small step towards his opponent, watching as she took one back. His once pristine silver hair was covered in blood and ash. His golden eyes were even darker as they kept a heavy gaze with the other's eyes. His outfit was shredded in many places and the edges of his sleeves were burned as if someone had grabbed hold of them and set them on fire.
His opponent looked about the same. Her normally golden hair was tinged with ash and blood, her bright aqua eyes were even darker and shown with hatred. Her clothes were in no good condition either. They were covered in blood and half of her top had disappeared.
Kurenai watched as Sesshoumaru readied his sword and positioned himself to attack her. She let out a low growl and got herself ready to fight.
"Why?"
Sesshoumaru raised an elegant eyebrow. "Why what?"
Kurenai glared hard at him. "Why did you kill her?"
Sesshoumaru let his eyes glance at the body across the room from them. Her eyes were closed and her body was wet from her blood. A sword laid across from her, broken into pieces. He looked back at Kurenai.
"She wished to kill me for taking you."
The young blonde closed her eyes for a second at looked back at the youkai in front of her.
"Has it come to this? Why did it have to be this way? Why did I ever fall for you?" she asked, tears running down her face.
Sesshoumaru looked as though he was unfazed but on the inside it killed him to see her cry after everything they had been through.
"Humans make stupid mistakes." he replied.
Kurenai let out a choked sob. She brought up her sword and glared daggers at him.
"I will kill you."
Roaring loudly, she dashed at him, bringing her sword down and….
dream end
Kurenai opened her eyes and sighed. Once again, she had the same dream of what happened so long ago. It felt like just yesterday that her and Sesshoumaru were in his castle, fighting to the death. It felt like only yesterday that her sister, Sunami, had died trying to rescue her younger sibling from the all powerful evil demon. It also seemed like just yesterday that she, Kurenai, was thrown into a portal sending her all the way to Tokyo, Japan in the year of 2007.
Looking over at the balcony doors, she watched as the clouds rolled on by and the trees swayed with the wind. Kurenai slowly got out of bed and walked over to the bathroom. She did her normal morning routine and after getting dressed, she walked downstairs and into the kitchen where she found her cook making breakfast.
"Ohayou, Kaede-sama." she greeted the elderly woman who smiled back.
"Ohayou, Kurenai-chan. Did ye have a nice sleep?" Kaede asked as she set the plate of food in front of the young girl.
Kurenai took a bite of her eggs and smiled. "Hai, I did."
Kaede smiled in return and set a briefcase onto the countertop.
"Did ye forget that ye have to work today?"
When the old woman said "work," Kurenai's eyes grew large and she started to panic.
"Kami, I forgot! And today's the day I tell a story to the kids! Arigato, Kaede-sama for the food but I must go! Ja ne!"
Kurenai put a piece of bacon in her mouth, grabbed the briefcase and car keys and headed over to the elementary school.
Kaede just chuckled at her mistress's behavior and cleaned up the leftover dishes.

Kurenai parked the car and headed inside, saying her hellos to everyone she passed. She walked into the classroom and was gifted with the sounds of happy children.
"Miss Kurenai!! Miss Kurenai!!!!" all of the children yelled, smiling and giggling with joy.
Kurenai turned to the other teacher and gave her thanks for watching over them while she wasn't there. She set her briefcase down and smiled at her class.
"Hello everyone. I'm sorry that I was late. I hope you had a great weekend." Kurenai smiled and listened as everyone told her about what they did.
Someone's hand raised.
"Yes, Kumiko?" she asked the small redhead.
Kumiko smiled up at her teacher. "Miss Kurenai, are you going to tell us a story today?"
All the children started talking and asking her if she was. Kurenai chuckled and nodded.
"Yes, I am. You all are very lucky, I have a very special story that I only tell good little children." The classroom got quiet and she smiled.
Taking a seat in front of the children and put her finger to her lips and thought for a moment. The kids waited for her to begin.
Kurenai looked at them and tilted her head. "You all have heard of the Lord of the Western Lands, correct?" At all of their nods, she continued. "Well this story is about him and a woman, a human to be precise. It's about them and their love for one another that had destroyed a kingdom."
She looked at all of the wide eyes and giggled softly. She normally didn't tell anyone of this story but it seemed like the right time.
And the story began…
