/ Kurama's POV /

There she is again, looking just as beautiful as the day before, near the lake crying again. I hate to see her cry, but I can't resist watching her. She stays there everyday, after a day of putting on a façade of contentment, she comes here and lets it all out.

I do not know her, but I feel like I know her. I haven't even spoken to her. Yet, here I am watching her from afar… Sometimes, I wish she would just hear me while I watch her, and she'll come and speak to me. Then again, I don't want her to come because she'll know something that no one else knows: I can be a hentai type of man.

I watched as I saw tears stream down those violet eyes of hers. She walked near where I was, that's when I froze hoping she wouldn't hear me. She grabbed a locket that was near the ledge of lake and struggled to get it open, and out of aggravation threw it to the other end of the pool. Tears fell down faster as she had realized what she had done, and almost immediately ran to where the locket was and held it to her chest. She looked at it, and I knew it was very important to her.

I really want to see what is in the locket! I was going to jump on top of the tree was nearest but I knew she would hear. I noticed that she finally smiled while moving black rasps of hair out of her face as she traced her hands around the letters 'B.F.F.' and, I guess, memories came back to her and she began to ache in her heart again.

She put the locket down and went back to taking her bath as she was doing before. I kept on looking like the hentai man I became in the past few minutes that seemed like forever, until a certain young fox cub came near me and began to tug me almost like it was saying 'come play.' I had nearly laughed because it licked me, but the next thing I knew I was making noises in the bushes because I was trying to get away. I looked up after sensing something wrong; the girl had got up with some clothes very similar to that of a priest. She looked at me in the most spitefully hating way. She was disgusted!

The next thing I knew I saw a white paper with a familiar pattern and then I realized what it was and nearly fell over when I realized what it was. Out of the fact I was surprised, though I tried to move and escape, I couldn't move. She threw the paper revealing something that people like me hate. AND…

KURAMA'S HOUSE

BOOM! Kurama fell out of the bed. "It's that girl, why was she in my dream again? I've never even met her but I can't stop thinking about someone who has only been in my dreams… hmmm, I wonder what Hiei would say, especially if I told him what actually happened in my dream." Kurama muttered to himself. Kurama got off the floor while wiping off any dirt that may have gotten on his pajamas.

The whole dream puzzled him and it made him ask a lot of questions! Who was this girl? Why was she in my dream? Is there any meaning to this dream? Does he need someone to love outside of his mama?

He thought for a moment about the girl in his dream, and he knew in his heart that it couldn't have meant nothing, for no one, no, not anyone had ever looked as beautiful as this girl. This girl had beautiful violet eyes, with black hair with purple shines, a beautiful face with a tan that he had never seen. This girl's body was near perfect, if not, then it was perfect. The girl was nearly perfect in Kurama's eyes, yet there was still that sadness in her eyes. 'If she was not just a figment of my imagination, then what was it that bothered her?' Kurama asked himself.

He knew better than to ever say anything to Hiei since Hiei would call him 'weak' for allowing himself to probably be succumbing to the emotions that 'these people of this world have.'

KNOCK- BAM - KNOCK - BAM- KNOCKITY KNOCK KNCOK

Kurama looked up and seemed startled by the knocking on the door; it sounded like the police. He crept out of his room, slipped by the door hoping that it was nothing horrible about his mother or his brother.

He got back up and looked through the eye peeper to see who was out there and it was worse! It was Yusuke and Kuwabara. Kurama opened the door to allow them in, though in his heart he didn't want to. They walked in and so did a little short man he didn't know was with them: Hiei.

"Kurama, turn on the TV!" Hiei commanded walking in using his same voice he uses with almost everybody: cold.

Kurama looked and smiled, saying: "I thought you said TV was for fools like Kuwabara and Yusuke! What suddenly changed your…." Kurama said while laughing but suddenly and rudely interrupted by Hiei.

"It is for fools…" Hiei stated while grabbing the remote from Kurama's hand and turning the TV to the channel of the news. "Kuwabara just so happened to be having dreams about this girl whom he never met and I want you to see her!"

Kurama looked slightly annoyed by Hiei's actions and remarked," It couldn't be too important, seeing that Kuwabara is always dreaming about a girl he never met!" Kurama would have never said those words if he would have looked at TV before saying it. He looked and there was the girl from his dream. He became captivated with the images in front of him from the TV.

Hiei looked at Kurama and then at everybody else and noticed everybody seemed caught up with what was going on. Hiei looked back at the screen and allowed himself to become like everyone else

Cherry Hill Temple

Rei held onto Rini's hand as she was running up the hill that lead up to her temple. She had been running since she came out of school after having Rini taken out early. Tears streamed down the raven-haired girl's eyes… this couldn't happen… this was too much for her, so many things had happened in the last three months.

Rini held onto Rei's hand for her dear life, since her body was floating in the air, and if she let go she would have a great fall.

They got to the top of the hill, just to find the governor and the hospital, along with other secular authorities. She looked in all directions, and finally when she looked to the left, she saw her nightmare that she had imagined she would come home to see: her grandpa's body taken out the temple, dead.

He was dead and she could not believe it… then she realized that she could and became infuriated and ran over to where the governor was and slapped him right in the face during his interview. "I hate you! Why… how could you? You allowed him to die. No, you shut up; you killed him just as you killed MOTHER! You allowed him to die, and you allowed her to die. … All you care about is your election and nothing else, wait, no you do care about something else: yourself. You knew he had only a substantial amount of time 'til his disease would kill him. You could've got him a doctor… you could've… done something. I hate you, father!" Rei said in a rampage. She was in disbelief to see him there. The whole time he knew he was dying, he did not come around, so why now? She knew why! It wasn't to comfort her… no that was the last thing he would come here for! The only reason he came was for his stupid election so that he could be governor for the third time in a row.

That was the first time she had ever slapped or did anything wrong towards her father, and she was glad she did it. She began to wish upon her father hurtful things. This was the one time she meant it when she said: I hate you. Seeing him there made her so mad. It was not even just him being there that her mad; it was when she heard him say: "You will never have to worry about dying like this poor old man, if you elect me for governor. I would make sure everyone who elects me will have great health care… you will not have to die of a very curable disease, like he did"

She knew he was lying and most people wouldn't catch that he was lying. They would forget that he is already governor. How was he able to promise stuff like that, especially when he had two people in his very own family, two of the most important people in his life, die like that? He was a no good husband, father, or son; he didn't care.

He pushed her off of him while telling the cameramen to turn off the cameras. He started yelling at her saying: "What the hell do you think you are doing? You know better than that! You know, I was doing all this for you! I love you, you know that; what you mean you don't love me, huh! Now, I want you to go to that cameraman and tell him to turn it on and say to the camera you didn't mean a word you said to me and say it like you meant it."

Rei looked at him with the most inner hatred any person could ever have for someone, and quietly told him while holding Rini close as tears slowly crept down her face, once again: "YOU ARE A LIE! This has never been for you and I. NO… no…. no, you know it! If it as for me and you, then why didn't the money you ever made ever go for the most important people in my life, but only for the one important person to you: your mistress and her child!" After saying those words, Rei walked away heading towards the nearest phone booth.

Her father looked at his daughter and showed no emotion. As soon as she left, he went on acting as if nothing just happened and that discussion never was said. He told the camera crew that they will be doing some editing making it as if Rei had said something different and make it comical.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX At the Phone Booth

Rei held what she felt was the only thing she had left like a young child holds its teddy bear at night. Rini laid her head on Rei's leg as she teared up seeing the strongest person she knows cry. Rini tried to say things to make it better but nothing worked.

Rini was so used to Rei cheering her up, not it being the opposite. Rini understood that Rei would have to let it go, one of these days, and the day finally came. So much stuff had happened to her and she stood so strong but it had been too much for her to handle. Rei shook ferociously as she cried sitting down in a booth.

Finally, Rei stood up after going her purse for a quarter and called the Operator.

"Operator! How can I help you?"

"I need to come in contact with the Higurashi family…"

"Alright, allow me to connect you!"

"Kagome, why do you care if your cousin is coming, she's going to have to learn about it anyways, if she's going to live with you?" snorted an angry Inuyasha.

"Sit! Boy!" Kagome snorted back because of her not wanting to answer a question she already answered.

"Kagome, he is quite right, though," chorused Miroku, Sango, and Shippo while nodding their heads. "Well, anyways, seeing that you want to get back to your old time to see your cousins, could you please take us, you could introduce us to your friends!"

Kagome looked at them and smiled while saying:" I don't see the harm, besides we could go to the mall and get you all new clothes!"

"Huh, it was that easy!" They once again chorused together, and then they concluded at the same time again, "Why didn't we ever ask her before?"

Kagome smiled as she took hold of the hand of Shippo who grabbed the hand of Miroku, who grabbed Sango's hand proudly and then they all jumped at the well.

Inuyasha watched as all of them went through the well and became irritated that no one had even tried to ask him if he would like to come. He was turning a bright red color out of anger. Then he noticed a couple of Naraku's demons on the loose. Not wanting to fight, he jumped at the well and was teleported to Present Time.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX Kagome's home

"So, Rei, its been a long time! Are you feeling okay?" Ms. Higurashi said smiling, then looked at the little girl whom Rei had sleep on her lap," A really long time," she paused wondering if the girl was Rei's child," yes it has! Who is this little cute girl?" She eyed Rini.

Rei then smiled and said," Oh, this is Rini, I am taking care of her for awhile… she's really a sweet girl, when you get to know her." Rei then looked out the window and saw her cousin and some strange dressing people coming out of a… well! "What is Kagome doing coming out of a well with 4 weird dressing people?"

Her grandfather came running out telling her: it was a game.

Rei, then eyed the well, and made a mental note to check it out by her self.

The Next Day

Kagome's mom told her that she couldn't register at the same school as Kagome's, but she will still going to school. The school she happened to tell her was the same school as Yusuke and the gang went to
