Chapter Title: Just A Dream

A/N: This is just a one shot fic. Also my italics don't seem to be working so ~* ~ means a dream as you could probably guess without me telling you. ^_^

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

A baby Shuichi was surrounded by bars, like a crib, then the bars widened and grew to look like trees, and Shuichi grew into a teenager.

'What is going on? Am I dreaming?' Kurama thought as he watched himself in his Youko form come into view followed by Kuronue. Kuronue disappeared from Kurama's view, as did his Youko form.

"Hello Kurama." Kuronue's voice said beside Kurama's right ear, his breath moving Kurama's hair lightly and tickling his cheek. Kurama turned swiftly his red hair changing silver as he changed into his Youko form.

"Kuronue?" Kurama whispered as the one he was speaking to appear from the shadows.

"What happened? I- I thought you died." Kurama said his hair suddenly blowing up in the unexpected wind.

"You're dreaming, of course. You should know that by now." Kuronue's voice echoed around the two figures.

"It seemed real for a little bit a while ago, it still seems real." Kurama responded.

"This must be a good dream then." Kuronue smirked, tracing his hand along Kurama's chin, sending shivers down his spine.

"Yes . . . But why am I dreaming of you after all these years?" Kurama questioned.

"The day I died. It will be 17 years tomorrow"

Kuronue started fading into the shadows that he had come from, brushing his lips against Kurama's, like a ghost, as his voice echoed in a whispered voice "I wish you well. Kurama."

"No wait! Kuronue!" Kurama yelled and ran forward but seemed to be going nowhere.

"Kurama! Kurama wake up!" Hiei's voice called from the shadows that faded into light.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Hiei stood over Kurama's sleeping form, which looked as if he was struggling in his sleep.

"Kurama! Kurama wake up!" Hiei yelled quietly.

Kurama moaned, stretched, and blinked his eyes along with a yawn. "Hiei? What are you doing here?"

"I was outside your window and you talking in your sleep was annoying me." Hiei responded.

"I was talking in my sleep? What did I say?" Kurama asked tilting his head.

'He looks so cute . . . ' Hiei thought as he said "Kuronue." A slightly pained expression fluttered across his face.

Kurama saw this and took Hiei's hand in his, holding it to his face, and said, "It was more of a memory then a dream, Hiei."

Hiei shook off Kurama's hands and replied coldly, "Hn. Do you think I care?" Then turned to the open window to go back to the tree that he had claimed his.

"Wait Hiei." Kurama said standing and walking to the little demon.

Hiei tensed as he felt Kurama place a hand on his shoulder. "It's still dark out, and it's late. Please stay, Hiei." Kurama said turning Hiei to look at him.

"Hn." Hiei studied the kitsune as he pleaded silently with his eyes. "Very Well." Hiei said a little annoyed that Kurama could basically control him so easily.

A/N: What do you think? I thought of the dream part at about one am before I went to sleep and had my own weird dream...that doesn't matter though does it? Lol ^_^ Hope you all liked this pointless fanfic! Btw, I'm not really sure how long it would be since Kuronue's death so just go with it please? Thanks ^_^
