Can you turn my black roses red? Chapter 1

Ah not a very original title but there's an emotional meaning that's pointless to drag on about for the readers. So there are very few Kurama Maya stories out there. So I decided to write one since I recently understood how many good scenarios the couple can present with if one works with it.

---------------------------------------------------------

Maya looked out the window; it was raining. Such a boring day it had become now, and when she woke up it had been sunny.

Yesterday, what had happened yesterday? Why did it feel like she had a small gap in her mind. She felt her eyelid almost becoming heavy from the pondering, no there was no real use in pondering over that, it had little meaning, there were far more important things in Maya Kitajimas life. She almost flew up into sitting position and made her way downstairs.

The Kitajima household was pretty ordinary, nothing special.

-"Mother I'm going outside." She gave her mother a quick wink as she passed the kitchen to the hall.

-"Why?" Her mothers voice from the kitchen. "It'll be dinner soon."

-"I'll be right back, promise."

Even if it was raining outside, and most people would find such a thing boring, Maya took this as a chance to investigation. She grabbed an umbrella and a raincoat and went outside.

Ever since she had been very little Maya had always had a fascination for the paranormal, and anything that could help her on the hunt for it just made her day. So why today on this rainy day?

Well there was a special place she had to look up, a secret place she'd recently found, it was an abounded factory and it was almost reeking of things she had been looking for. With her over enthusiastic spirit she entered the factory ground without fear. After walking a few corridors it started to become darker.

When things had become to dark she stopped, got of her backpack and started digging through her bag for her flashlight; but for no avail, she must have picked it out of her bag last night for some reason she didn't remember.

She sighed, she couldn't do any investigation in a dark factory without a flashlight now could she?

Then she felt a shiver crawl up her spine, when she looked around she realised that she didn't have any idea of where she was, all of the rooms where unrecognisable to her.

Then why had the path here felt so familiar? She had known just what turns to take to get here, but now she realised that she had no idea what she would find in here.

How recently had she found this place really? She looked around, it was all silent around her, the only thing she heard was the sound of the rain pouring down outside. Strange, really strange. Pretty fascinating though, if she only could figure it out.

Then she remembered, she would be late for dinner if she stayed here to long. She pouted, this had gotten so interesting, she should have saved the investigation until after dinner so she would have more time. Nonetheless she was forced to go back, she turned around, ready to look for a way back, if she really tried she should be able to trace her steps back. She turned around and started walking. It took some thinking and considering, and a little falling, but in a few minutes she had made it back to the entrance. But then she saw a recognisable figure at the open entrance and she felt her heart almost jump from the shock.

-"Mi, Minamino-kun?!" The short red haired boy was standing at the entrance from which she came just a few minutes ago, what was he doing here? Was he investigating this matter as well?

-"Kitajima-san…"

For some reason Maya couldn't figure out what to ask him. What was he doing here? Out of all people in the world what was the, normal, stiff Minamino-kun doing here? He couldn't be investigating could he? Well there had been some rumours around hadn't it? It was at this moment Maya noticed that there was an awkward silence hanging in the air over them.

-"I'msorryMinamino-kunbutIhavetogohome!" And she found herself rushing out of the building.

So embarrassing, what that just her, having an awkward moment with a guy? After running for some time she finally stopped noticing that she was wet. Shoot she had forgotten the umbrella!! How typical and cliché she found herself, was it even possible? But she didn't want to stand here in the rain any longer so she continued to run home. She just had to explain to her parents and simply go and pick it up tomorrow. Hopefully it wouldn't be raining then.

She crawled into bed later, still having imagines of what she might find in her new investigation place if she was lucky. Maybe even a space ship! Her imagination went loose for a moment.

But what had Minamino-kun been there for? And why had she felt so awkward. She turned over in bed.

-(Minamino-kun eh?) She dragged her cover closer and drifted of to sleep.

Kurama eyed the surroundings. No there were no traces left of Yatsude, good for this city. How unfortunate that Kitajima-san had been here, just now when he came. Her glance told him that she remembered nothing. But it was best that way. That way she wouldn't risk being dragged into danger any longer. It was best that she'd never know. It was strange, during all the years he'd lived as a youkai bandit he'd never felt something similar to this. Certainly he had his closest allies, they had strong unbreakable bounds, at least those who didn't betray him. But this feeling, that strange awkwardness that came over him when Kitajima-san was around. She was merely a human girl, a baby compared to his age, knew so little of this world. Yet why did she, make him feel like that.

It was such a shame, those brown eyes, they had seemed to genuinely caring.
