Nightmare: Prologue

He smiled out the window of his newly built castle. It laid just outside of Raizen's territory. Where the little brat, Raizen's heir, could not get him. This is the perfect place to set up his plan. No one could tell him no. Besides the Makai will be his soon enough, but before that he needed someone. Someone with golden eyes, silver hair and a long luscious silver tail. He looked at his own silver hair. Yes someone who looked exactly like him: a silver furred Youko. Yes indeed, with that silver haired Youko, the Makai will be his.

"Lord Ryudo"

Ryudo turned from the window to address the voice. There he saw his right hand fox (a female red haired fox he should say) kneeling on one knee. If anybody else interrupted his thoughts they would be dead, but Itari has been with him for more than a few centuries. He smiled at her.

"What news do you have for me Itari."

"My lord, I have found him."

Ryudo smile became evil and he returned to the window. "Excellent Itari. Extract him for me."

Itari bowed. "Yes Milord" She got up and left.



The brown haired boy watched as his brother took out what appeared to be a vine with thorns all over it. He couldn't hear what he called it, but it just came from a rose. The boy then looked at his brother's opponent's appearance. The guy his brother was fighting had silver hair, and a silver tail. He also had ears sticking out from the top of his head.

In a blink of an eye they both started fighting. The boy could not tell who was winning as both of them were tied. But then the silver haired guy snapped his fingers, and there was a brillant flash. When the boy could finally see again the silver hair person was gone and his brother was laying, unmoving, a distance away. The boy couldn't move as he watched his brother's life blood leak out of him at every poor.

"NII-SAAANNN"

The boy then woke up, in a cold sweat and his sheets were damp (AN: no he did NOT wet the bed!) The boys breathing was coming in rasps. 'That dream again' he thought. He sat up and put his face in his hands. He's been having that dream for almost two weeks now. Every night it's the same. It always ended up with his brother's death. And every night for those two weeks he could not go back to sleep. His dream and his fear would not let him.

As his breath got slower he recalled the dream once again, but this time he noticed something different. A voice calling at the same time he yelled for his nii-san. But it's what the voice said that sounded weird to him. The voice had said. "Kurama"
