Check out my other fic. It is called The New Kunochi.
Chapter 1: Shuichi and Tara
"Alone. That's all I'll ever be" thought a girl of about 16 while staring out the car window. She had waist-length brown hair with blonde highlights and amber eyes. She was wearing black jeans and a blue top with the word REBEL written across the front in crimson. Her shoes were black New Balances.
"Tara, are you even listening". A lady who looked to be 30 with reddish-brown hair and hazel eyes sat driving the car.
"Yes Mom, I am listening. I didn't want to move here in the first place so why do I have to adjust?" Tara continued to stare out the window as an exasperated look crossed her mother's face.
"You never know honey. You might just learn to love it here in Tokyo" (AN: I am sorry but I forgot which city in Japan that the Yu Yu cast lives in.)
"Yeah, whatever".
"Oh, before I forget! There is an old college buddy of mine that I want you to meet. She and her son are eating dinner with us tomorrow so I would like you to dress up nicely please". Tara rolled her eyes and sat in silence. Her mom looked at her punk daughter and sighed. "Maybe I shouldn't have moved her" she thought.
30 minutes later
The black Honda Hybrid pulled into the driveway of a huge 3 story mansion. Tara stepped out of the car with her jaw to the floor.
"Mom! How did you afford this!"
"Simple. It was your great-grandfather's long ago. I inherited it after he...passed on".
"Kami! It's huge. I hope I get a map." The younger girl ran to the front stoop and opened the door. Stepping into the foyer, she gaped at the size of it. To her left was a large mahogany staircase. To her right was a large blue and white living room and past that was apparently a kitchen. Tara walked up the stairs and saw a long pale blue hallway that seemed to go on and on forever.
"Tara! Your room is up the stairs and 3 doors down on the right." Tara walked to her room and opened the door.
"Holy freaking crap! It is huge." Her room was large with midnight blue walls (AN: her ggfather must love blue!) and a lighter blue ceiling. A large silver wolf decorated the wall across from the king-size bed. The blankets on the bed were black with a large blue-white crescent moon in the middle. On the opposite side of the bed was a large set of French doors with black curtains. On the left side of the doors was a nightstand with a silver gooseneck lamp. On the right of the doors was a desk with a flat screen computer. Tara turned to her left and saw a huge cherry wood dresser. Then she turned to her right and saw closet doors that were the same color as the ceiling. Opening them, she saw all her clothes and realized her closet was as big as her old room.
"I hope you don't mind that I already had your clothes put away." Tara's mom came to stand next to her wide-eyed daughter.
"Mom, this is the biggest room I have ever seen and it is in the coolest design ever! How did the designers know I love wolves?"
"They didn't. This room was done by your great-grandma. You look so much like her." Tara hugged her mom and walked over to her dresser. She pulled out some pink pajama pants and a black spaghetti strap tee.
"The bathroom is right across from your room. The towels are under the sink."
"Thanks Mom."
--------------------
Tara lay on her bed. I wonder what Mom's friend is like. I hope she and her son are nice. Kami, moving is so hard. Now I have to build up my reputation as a bad girl all over again! Damn it! Just great! I hate having to start over. Just newer ways to get hurt. Tara fell asleep.
--------------------
Dream Sequence
Tara stood in a pine forest that was covered in snow. She stepped forward only to fall over. What the crap! She looked down to see that she was no longer human. She had 4 legs and was covered in silver fur. Looking into a near-by puddle, she gasped as 2 wolfish amber eyes gazed back. OMG! What has happened to me?
A lonesome howl shattered the silence of the night. Tara ran toward it as fast as she could, long graceful legs gliding across the frozen earth. As she neared a small clearing, a bright light spread across everything. She saw a mysterious figure in the center of the clearing. But before she could reach them, she felt like she was being pulled backwards.
End Dream
--------------------
Tara shot out of her bed, drenched in sweat. She raised her hand to her forehead. What a weird dream. I looked exactly like the wolf on my wall, but that is just plain out crazy! I need a shower. Tara stood up and stretched. She walked out of her room and into her bathroom. The walls were covered in a jungle styled wallpaper and the tub was almost the size of a Jacuzzi. The shower curtain was Forest green with leopards and panthers lying in trees. Tara stepped out of her pjs and into the shower.
--------------------
"Hey Mom" Tara said as she wandered into the kitchen. Her outfit consisted of tight flared jeans and a black tank top. Sitting at the large cedar table, Tara sniffed the air. "Are you cooking bacon?" Her mom looked up from the stove.
"I thought you might want a good breakfast after you slept for so long. It is nearly noon and we have yet to fully unpack." Tara looked up from the plate her mom just set in front of her.
"What's the rush?"
"I told you that my old friend from college was coming over with her son this afternoon. We have to get everything unpacked before they get here."
"Ok then, I'll start unpacking the living room stuff." Tara finished the last scrap of bacon and walked out of the kitchen. Where to begin... Oh, I know! I'll start with the lamps and figurines. Tara walked over to a box labeled "Fragile! Lamps and Figurines." Opening it, she found dozens of paper wads. After opening one she saw it was a small white bear holding a red ball with a green scarf wrapped around its neck. "Awwww, this one is one of my favorites.
--------------------
"Whew! Done at last. Now I need a shower." Tara stood up from her crouched position and walked up the stairs, taking them 2 at a time. She walked into the bathroom and grabbed her towel. After throwing her clothes in the laundry basket, she hopped in. She scrubbed her hair with the Aussie shampoo (AN: I love the smell of that stuff. Makes my hair soft too! lol) on the side of the tub and used black raspberry vanilla body wash from bath and body works.
Stepping out of the shower, wrapped in the green towel, Tara strolled to her room. Realizing that she had to dress nicely for tonight, Tara looked for her black dress. "Ah ha, I found it!" Tara slid it over her head and looked into her full length mirror that was hanging inside the closet, on the door. The silky cotton dress hugged her body nicely, not too tight and not too loose. It came to little over the knees and it had spaghetti straps. "Perfect"
"Tara! They're here!" Tara barely had time to slide on some black strappy sandals before her mom called her down. Tara ran as fast as she could down the stairs and slowed to a quick gait as she neared the door. Her mom opened the door to reveal (AN: I forgot what Kurama's mom looks like cause I haven't seen the show in years, so please bare with me as I try to get it right!) a tall kind-looking woman with black hair and hazel eyes and a boy about around16 with the most shocking green eyes and the most brilliant red hair Tara's ever seen.
"Shiori! Oh how are you?" Tara's mom rushed forward to embrace her old friend.
"Oh I'm good. How about you Suki?" Shiori looked at Suki and then glanced over at Tara.
"Fine. I'd like you to meet my daughter. Shiori, this is Tara. Tara, meet my bestest friend ever, Shiori." Tara stepped forward and shook hands with her mom's friend.
"Nice to meet you, Mrs..."
"Minamino"
"Mrs. Minamino"
"Oh who is this" Suki called to Shiori while looking at the young man at the door. Shiori turned to her friend.
"That is my son, Shuichi." In response, The boy called Shuichi, stepped into the foyer.
"Hi. It is nice to finally meet my mom's friend." He held out his hand to Suki.
"Nice to meet you too Shuichi. Now come along! Dinner is ready." Suki led everyone to the dining room next to the kitchen. OMG! I can't believe I get stuck with this goody 2 shoes. That is just so unfair, but he is pretty hot.
--------------------
"And then...and then, she fell on her butt in the middle of the cafeteria!" The 2 older women began to hyperventilate from laughing so hard. Tara stood up.
"I'm going to the garden. See ya later Mom." Tara began to walk towards the exit to the living room.
"Oh, why don't you take Shuichi with you?" Tara's hands clenched together.
"Fine. Whatever." Shuichi got up from his seat and strolled over to Tara. Holding out his arm he said "Shall we?" Tara ignored the gesture and continued walking by.
As they reached the back doors, Tara stopped and looked over her shoulder to the boy behind her.
"You know you don't have to pretend to be polite." Shuichi just blinked at her.
"Who said I was pretending."
--------------------
"Honestly, I have never seen my mother laugh like that. Have you Tara?" The 2 stood in the center of a small clearing, gazing at the moon.
"Nope." This guy is really mysterious. I wonder what he's thinking about.
This girl has a strange ki to her. It is like a blue-black mist of darkness is surrounding her. I wonder if she knows she is a demon.
"Do you believe in demons?" Shuichi looked at this strange girl. Tara looked deep into his eyes, unknowingly to her, sending shivers up and down his spine. She has the eyes of a wolf. Beautiful, fiery amber. (AN: I love wolves! I know not all wolves have amber eyes so don't correct me on it please)
"Not really. My Grandma used to weave these fantastical tales of a wolf demoness that had fur like silver and could call the forces of fire and air to do her bidding. She used to swear that they were true, but I couldn't believe them. Why do you ask, Shuichi?"
"No reason, just wondering." I guess she doesn't know. Maybe I should take her to Genkai. I should also tell the others. She needs training...
"I've been having some really weird dreams lately, though." Shuichi looked at Tara as she mentioned her strange dreams.
"What about?"
"Well, they start off as me standing in a snowy coniferous forest. I look over into a near-by puddle to see a silver wolf with amber eyes looking back. I hear a haunting howl and I begin to run towards it. As I get to a clearing, a mysterious shadowed figure is in the center. I start to head towards it, but a bright light engulfs everything and I wake up sweating."
"How long have you been getting these dreams?"
"I used to get them once in a blue moon when I was little, but ever since I've moved here, I've gotten them at least once a week. The dreams scare me, but at the same time they fascinate me." Tara continued to gaze at Shuichi.
I definately need to get her to Genkai. God, her eyes are captivating. Shuichi tore his eyes away from hers and stood up. "I think I should go now. My mom would want to leave soon. It was nice meeting you. I will see you at school tommorow?"
"Yes, I think you will. Bye Shuichi."
"Bye Tara."
