Is This a Dream?

Summary: Two girls named Nicole and Patricia are pulled into the YYH realm via Dream Magic Bracelets. They are pulled into something bigger than they could have ever expected Will they be able to cope? Or will fear and anxiety drive them apart, destroying their friendship?

Prologue

In the YYH realm

Yusuke Urameshi hated his job. Sure he got to fight, but why did it almost always end up as a fight for his life and his friends' lives? Another part of his job he hated were the orders he got from his boss, Koenma. From everything from fetching him coffee to saving humanity, Yusuke did it all.

And he was fed up.

"That's it!" He yelled, raising his fists to the Other World Sky. "No more! I QUIT! Humanity can get along fine without me!"

And he stormed away towards the Demon Plane.

Three days later

Koenma summoned Botan, Death, to his office. "Where is Urameshi?"

In another realm

Nicole and Patricia were normal girls, as normal as could be. They had broken families, sure, but that's normal. They were a little over weight, Nicole was a sort of punk, Patricia was a read-a-holic and an amateur spell caster, and okay, so they weren't exactly normal, but they were human. Humans are human. They are complex, have hazardous emotions and can do amazing things

"Nicole, you've got a letter from your pen pal," said Nicole's mom, handing her daughter an envelope.

"WOOHOO!!" crowed Nicole, tearing it open. Her smile turned into confusion when she read the few lines that her pen pal had written.

Dear Nicole,

You dream of Kurama, eh? I've read somewhere that dreams are wondrous things, like gates between this dimension and the next I give you this bracelet in a fond hope that our dreams will come true.

Sweet Dreams.

Yours truly,

Patricia-sama

"Eh?" Nicole said. She was confused. She looked into the envelope, expecting another letter. Instead she found a yarn bracelet that had a blue bead in the center. She stared at the bead, transfixed. The bead was like water made solid. Clear, deep, blue

She tied it onto her wrist and went off to write to her pen pal. She wrote a short letter, as she always did. Then, it was time for bed.

"Dreams," sighed Nicole, all tucked into bed. She smiled. "I hope I dream of Kurama"

Far away, somewhere in Canada

The girl named Patricia was getting ready for bed. All around her bedroom bottles of strange mixtures and plants either smoked or boiled as she climbed into bed.

"Dreams," she said, tying a bracelet onto her wrist. The bracelet was made of yarn and was adorned with a single jewel. She smiled as she lay down in bed. "I've always wanted to meet you, Nicole. I hope my spell works. See you soon"

And they drifted off to sleep, each thinking fondly of their friend, who was somewhere far away
