Yuna made her way to the store, humming a soft tune to herself as she started planning out tomorrow's special, trying to decide what it should be and what it could come with. She said her hellos to the store workers, asking the usual questions and such, as she gathered the ingredients a sense of déjà vu hit her. She glanced down at the groceries, pondering for a moment before shaking her head and continued on gathering what she needed.

At the checkout, the cashier commented on how the restaurant must've gone through the last purchase rather quickly. Yuna gave a nervous laugh and agreed with them, unsure on how to answer or even explain that she doesn't remember her last trip here.

Saying her goodbyes as she left the store, her bag of groceries in hand, she took her usual route home, still puzzled about the whole thing. So far, everything was happening the same way as her dream, only thing that couldn't happen would be the monsters. Sighing, she came to the conclusion of just letting it go, she didn't have an answer and neither did anyone else. Yuna started humming again as she continued on her way, unknowingly going back to place where she was attacked.

As she walked her route, her eyes caught something in the distance.

Curious, she made her way over to the thing. As she got closer, she noticed it was grocery bag and it was the same one as she held in her hand. As she knelt down next to the bag, her heart began to race as her hands shook as she reached for the bag. Looking inside the bag made her heart drop to her stomach, inside were the very ingredients she had just bought, she also noticed a white piece of paper inside.

Just by looking at the size she could tell it was a receipt, reaching in, her hands became clammy as she pulled it out. She was right, it was a receipt, what scared her more was the fact it was from the same store she left from. When she glanced at the date, all the color drained from her face as she stared in horror, it was dated on the day she had her nightmare.

"No, that's impossible….how? I thought it was a… dream?"

Standing to her feet, her eyes still glued to the receipt as she held the bags in her.

She began to walk home, trying to make sense of everything now.

"Well, well, well look at this morsel here."

A deep guttural voice called, sending a chill down her spine.

Hesitantly, she glanced behind her to see a large lizard thing, it's snake like tongue tasting the air as a pair of eerie, luminescent green eyes stared back at her.

"You'll do as a snack before I track down the two blundering idiots."

Panic began to set in as the monster took a step closer to her, her body shaking as she turned to turn run, praying desperately her legs would work. But running only got her so far before the monster appeared in front of her, it's clawed hand dart out quickly, ensnaring her arm.

Yuna screamed as the lizard lifted her up, making her drop her bags as she squirmed in it's grip, desperately trying to break free.

The lizard thing gaffed at her futile attempts of escape, shaking her harshly, making her stop screaming in the process.

"Now, time to tenderize the meat!"

Before Yuna could understand what the monster meant, she found herself soaring through the air, she screamed again but it was cut off as her back collided with a solid object, the wind knocked out of her.

A groan of pain left her lips as she struggled to move her head, her eyes slowly blinking open, her vision blurry as black dots danced everywhere. Once her vision began to refocus, she found herself laying on top of the dumpster, she tried to breathe, inhaling through her nose only to inhale the blood that was dripping from it.

Struggling, she was able to prop herself up on her arm, coughing out the blood, the coppery taste clinging to her taste buds, making her grimace from the taste.

As she tried to sit herself up, the monster was right there in an instant, cackling all the while picking her up by her hair. Yuna screamed again, struggling weakly as the monster lifted her into the air.

"Now that the meat is tender, time to feast!" Cackling again, Yuna felt herself be lifted higher that before, soon found herself dangling over the monster's mouth. The monster grazed her legs with it's teeth while it's tongue slithered up her leg as well. She began to panic, flailing her legs around as she tried to avoid its mouth, just feeling its tongue and teeth on her skin made her scream again.

"No!"

The boys rushed to the area they felt the demon energy coming from, each of them panting as they ran as fast as they could.

"God dammit! How the hell do you lose track of one woman!?" Yusuke screamed.

"It's not our fault Urameshi!" Kuwabara retorted, his face flushed heavily.

"Sufficed to say, I think we all were distracted early." Kurama explain, a tinge of embarrassment hanging over him.

Each of the boys looked away from each other, blushing heavily at the memory of the delicious food made by the woman they were looking for.

"But we should hurry, I think the demon may have found her." The moment those words left Kurama's mouth, a scream filled the air, making them hurry. As they neared the area where they heard the scream, another scream was heard as a sudden burst of energy knocked them down.

As the boys got back to their feet, hurried only to find Yuna in the grip of a demon, who was covering his eyes as he roared.

"My eyes! You damned bitch! What did you do to my eyes!?"

They took a step forward to help the young chef, only for a bright flash of light to appear and knocked them back again. As they were getting back up, they could hear the agonizing screams of the demon as the light began to glow brighter and brighter, making them close their eyes from it.

Once the light faded, they looked around to see no sign of the demon, the only thing that stood out the most was the young chef who was hovering in the air. She had a soft, gold glow surrounding her, her head tilted back showing she was unconscious from the events.

The boys noticed a faint white wisp encircling her, the golden glow fading slowly as Yuna's body was slowly lowered to the ground.

As her body lay on the ground, the wisp disappeared before the gang could tell what it was, along with the glow that surrounded her body.

As they approached her body, Kurama knelt down and reached for her wrist, wanting to check her pulse but the moment his fingers touched her skin, a sudden flare of heat appeared, making him pull his hand away.

He glanced down at his hand, finding his fingers burned.

The others were shocked as they looked from Kurama's fingers to Yuna's body.

"Did…did she burn you?"

"But how would she burn you?"

Kurama didn't answer as he stared at the young chef's body for a moment, trying to figure out why he would be burned.

"Kuwabara, Yusuke, trying touching her wrist as well."

"Wha-? But-but she's unconscious! I can't do that!"

"Aside from bozo here, I'll do it but I gotta ask, why Kurama?" Yusuke asked, curious as to what the fox demon was trying to achieve.

"I merely wish to test a theory."

The two stayed quiet a moment before Yusuke elbowed his taller friend.

"You heard the man, besides, it's only her wrist. Maybe we won't get burned."

Kuwabara tried to argue but Yusuke kicked the back of his knee, making him yelp as he knelt unwillingly next to the girl.

"Fine! But I'm doing this because Kurama got burned!"

"Yeah, yeah, whatever!"

The two reached out for her wrist, holding their breath as they were hoping not to get burned, but unfortunately for their hopes, they were burned.

Kuwabara yelped as he pulled his hand back quickly, shaking it frantically as he blew on it, trying desperately trying to cool it down.

Yusuke yelled out in pain as he clenched and unclenched his hand, trying to spread the pain out throughout his hand so it wasn't mainly focused on his fingers.

Kurama watched them for a moment before glancing back at the young chef, wondering why the three of them would be burned. As he pondered for a moment, he glanced at his silent friend, silently wondering if he would get the same results as well.

"Hiei, try touching her wrist as well."

The fire demon stared at the fox, not moving at all as the other two watched them, quieting their complaints.

"I want to see if you'll be burned as well, nothing more Hiei."

The only reply he got was a soft grunt as Hiei knelt down besides the girl, reaching out and laid his hand on her wrist for a moment, he pulled it back and showed the other that he wasn't burned.

"It seems like Hiei is the only one to be able to carry her."

"Or because I can control fire, maybe I won't be burned so easily." Hiei retorted, rolling his eyes.

"Or it could be because whatever your dragon did, it made it so no one would harm her or touch without facing repercussions. When she's unconscious it seems." Kurama stood as Hiei grunted, looking away from the fox.

"We should take her to my apartment since the girls are there waiting, Hiei can you carry her there?"

"Hn."

The fire demon gently picked up the girl, following the others as they made their way to Kurama's place, never noticing a soft glow coming from the girls' back.
