KsLuvr: Hi! I'm back!

Sorry I've been gone so long. Time's just been flowing by and filling my days with too much work. I guess I was a bit lazy too... Anywho, while I will be busy I will try to keep updating a lot sooner than this time.

Still need a pairing for everyone except for Kags, Sango, and Miroku.

I don't own anything (though I want to ^cries^)! Please read and review!

Moving Sadness

'Looks like I ditched them' a boy thought looking over his shoulder without seeing a huge crowd of purple and white or hearing a dozen screeching vultur- I mean girls (slip of the tongue,sorry coughnotcough^). Breathing out a sigh of relief, he walked into the house, he looked around the place that had be his home for the last twelve years of his life, for the only years his current body had lived through.

Taking his shoes off at the door, he boy walked down the hall until he reached the kitchen doorway. Glancing in, he called out "Okaa-san, I'm home," Said woman turned around and smiled warmly at him though it was tinged with sadness.

"Welcome home, Shuichi-chan," She said, wiping her hands on her apron and taking his bento box from him, "Dinner will be be ready shortly, and then... I'll take you to the train station...," She trailed off, saddening more," You know you don't have to go... and you can come back whenever you want," She was hoping he would choose to stay. She didn't want to lose her son.

"Arigato, Okaa-san, I'll keep that in mind." His smile was aloof yet understanding, not mirth involved. Not a smile that belonged on a twelve year old's face. He knew she didn't want him to leave. But he had to. For her. She didn't deserve to have him as a burden.

"Well...," She trailed off again awkwardly "I better get back to cooking. You should probably finish packing..." Pulling into a sort of half hug, she released him before returning to her cooking. Turning away from the kitchen, the boy headed up the stairs and into the second room on the right.

Sighing tiredly while closing his eyes, the boy ran a hand through long, blood red locks before opening forest green orbs to look around the room. There wasn't much to look at because most everything had been packed and sent to his new address already. All that was left was a couple of pairs of clothes, most of which were already in a suitcase on the foot of his old bed, and a little bit of school supplies on the room's desk.

Quickly packing the things on the desk and making sure there was nothing left in the closet, he pulled out his new school's uniform of blue, black, and white. Just as he was about to zip up his bag, something in the room caught his attention. It was a picture of him and his close friends after the tournament. He even managed to get Hiei in it. Smiling, he tucked the picture in the bag before zipping it up. So lost in his memories was he that he almost missed the door to his room being opened. Almost being the key word.

"Are you ready?" a gruff voice asked.

"Yes," he replied.

"Are you sure you want to go?" Oh, how he wished he could say no. But he couldn't. He didn't want to leave, but he had to. There were just too many risks in staying. Still, he knew he would be lying if he said he was sure and knew his friend would know, no, already knew. So he decided not to answer the question.

"Why, Hiei! I never knew you cared," he drawled out, his eyes getting gold flecks.

"Hn," He would have snorted at his friend's response if it wouldn't have been ill mannered and unfitting for the situation. He was surprised, though, when his hybrid friend continued, "You'll see them again, fox. This isn't the last goodbye," He smiled sadly but appreciated his friend's attempt to cheer him up( though said friend would deny it). He didn't expect Hiei to say anything else, but it seems surprises were popping up everywhere today because Hiei blurred into his field of view and locked his ruby orbs with his emerald ones, "I'm serious, Kurama. You will see them again," Kurama heaved a sigh and nodded his head before locking eyes with Hiei again.

"I know, Hiei. I know," Kurama whispered. With a 'hn', Hiei disappeared, more than likely waiting in the dining room for him. With another sigh, Kurama glanced around the room one more time, memorizing every detail. Looking into the mirror, he knew this would be the last time he saw this him again. This chapter of his life was coming to an end.

His current- or is it old now?- school's uniform consisted of brown pants with a long sleeve, white, button up dress shirt. Over the shirt was a brown vest with gold buttons.

Looking around the room one last time, he walked out with his bag in hand and shut the door behind him, closing this chapter of his life away permanently.

KsLuvr: Okay, I'm finally done! For those of you who are confused or have questions, send them in. I know that you might have questions about things -

Kurama: Like why I'm a twelve year old ^glares at authoress^

KsLuvr: -Like why he's a twelve year ol- Hey! How did you get in here! I locked the door!

Kurama: ^hold an out of shape paper clip and a credit card, still glaring while pointing to the open door letting light into the dark room^ Now about me being a twelve year old... ^puts paper clip and credit card in pocket while leaning towards the authoress and talking in a voice that's so sweet it's scary^ Why wasn't I told about this? And what was that about with my mom?

KsLuvr: ^hides behind couch^ I... forgot. Don't worry, though! It's for the good of the story! You'll understand later! You'll even make up with your mom! I promise! ^Kurama starts to reach into his hair, authoress gets scared^ If you kill me now, I can't remedy the situation!

Kurama: ^sigh^ Fine, but you better remedy the situation. Soon.

KsLuvr: Of course! ^hopes he buys her act^

Kurama: ^smiles and starts to walk away, authoress starts to calm; turns back around, authoress stiffens again^ Oh, yeah. Where's Youko? He hasn't bugged me the whole chapter.

KsLuvr: Um... I'll tell you later when there aren't readers around... don't want to ruin any of the anticipation, now do we? ^smiles^

Kurama:^shrugs and smiles^ Of course not. On three. One... two... three.

KsLuvr and Kurama: Ja ne! (goodbye (or something like that))
