The
red-head walked slowly through the street, thinking to himself. He
wore
a maroon uniform, which, oddly, didn't clash with his
hair. He clung to a
school bag in his hand. Smooth skin covered
bright green eyes as the
handsome young man released a sigh. His
name? Kurama.
Kurama's past was haunting him again. It was
happening more and more
frequently ever since the Dark Tournament
had ended. He knew he should be
heading home, but he wasn't
paying attention to where he was going.
Suddenly he
collided with something. His eyes jerked open.
Kurama stumbled
back "S-sorry!" he apologized, bowing
He finally looked up
and saw who he bumped into. It was a girl. She was
tall
with white blonde hair that gracefully hugged her face and hung over
her shoulders. She was thin with a beautiful face. Her eyes were
deep amber
and her lips dark red and thin. Her clothes were all
white. Kimono style
pants covered with a white battle cloak.
Certain strength surrounded her.
She seemed oddly familiar. His
mind seemed to blank for a minute, but the
red-head passed it off
as his imagination.
She raised her eyebrow "Excuse me..."
she stepped aside a confused look on
her face
Kurama snapped
back to reality. "Sorry." He said
"Uhm, if you
don't mind, I'm in a hurry. I'm looking for someone and I need
to
find them NOW, it's important." She tossed back her hair
"Any
way I can help? The words slipped out of his mouth before he could
stop. He felt as if he HAD to assist this woman in any way
possible.
"I'm Sorry?" She looked surprised
"Do
you want some help finding this person? Kurama mumbled
"No.
This person can't be found if he doesn't want to be." She
took on a
dreamy look, "He can't be caught, or captured,
or discovered unless HE
wishes it.? Her expression suddenly
changed, "You'd only slow me down,
human." She spat
the last word out as if left a bitter taste in her mouth.
With
that she swept past him, head held high.
Human, why would she say
human? Kurama thought to himself unless?
"Miss, what is the
name of the man you're looking for? he asked
She smirked, "You
just won't stop will you? Well, if you must know, Youko.
Youko
Kurama. But, I've heard he goes by Suichi here."
Kurama's
eyes widened.
"You don't mean the legendary thief
Youko, do you?" Kurama smiled unsure.
"Why yes, you've
heard of him?"
"Well, yes, in a manner of..." Kurama was cut of by the sound of running foot steps
"HEY, KURAMA!" a boy with jelled back hair and a green school uniform called to him
"What! Yuuske!" Kurama called back
"Hey, we've been looking all over for you, man. Botan apperantly has something important to... " Yuuske seemed to notice the girl Kurama was talking to, "Who's she?"
Kurama turned around. The girl was looking at him in utter amazment.
"Y-y-y-your Youko Kurama!" the girl uttered
Kurama put his hands up "You caught me." He said, A guilty fake grin on his face
