The red snow Chapter 6

Yukina sat up quickly hearing the roar of the thunder outside. She saw a lighting strike not far from the temple.

-(I hope the forest will be alright……)

She was thankful for the thunder though, the air pressure had been heavy today and she had felt a light headache. Now when the thunder finally broke out those things would ease.

She placed a hand over her forehead, she seemed to be fine now.

She could guess it would be in the middle of the night, trying to sleep again would be wise.

She lay down on her futon and closed her eyes to rest.

She remembered she had a pleasant dream, but she couldn't remember what it was about.

Still hearing the thunder outside reminded her that she hadn't managed to fall asleep yet. Her mind wandered.

(It would be nice if someone came to visit me tomorrow. Kazuma-san, Botan-san or perhaps Keiko-san? But they've all been busy lately)

She admitted she couldn't sleep and turned over to her side, now eyes open staring at the wall beneath the half open window.

(Maybe Kurama-san would have time to visit me?) She found the thought rushing through her mind much faster then the others.

She let her eyes move over to the roof.

(I would really, like him to visit me actually, I can talk with him, talk with him in a way I can not with the others.) She closed her eyes again. A picture of the boy with raven hair and black clothes appeared in front of her. His back facing her.

(Hiei-san was it? He knew my brother. He told me to stop looking for him...He told me he was dead.)

The sound of a single hiruseki stone falling on the floor.

(Kurama-san, you know Hiei-san don't you? Will you please tell me, tell me why he said that, and why there is something inside of me that refuses to believe it. Is it my stubbornness, or is it something else?)

She fell asleep before anymore thoughts concerning the matter reached the surface of her mind.

Waking up she heard birds singing, and felt the forest being all alive around the temple.

Genkai sitting on the front stairs listening to the sounds of the nature.

She sat down to join her.

-"Genkai-shihai"

-"Yes" The old wise lady seemed to have her mind at many things, yet capable of listening.

A moment of silence.

"You want someone to come" Genkai filled in.

-"Yes" Yukina said carefully nodding. "I do appreciate your company Genkai-shihai but there is someone I need to talk with"

-"The slow one with the orange hair of the bubbly one with the blue?" Genkai said in her half teasing tone.

Yukina smiled lightly seeing Genkais humour.

-"The calm one with the red please" she said trying to follow up the joke.

Genkai chuckled at her first but then became serious.

-"When did you two become so close?"

Yukina found herself cover her hands over her mouth.

-"No, but, I, I mean." She stopped gathering herself back to her usual gentle self. "We're not really close I just thought it would be nice talking"

Genkai stood up and walked into the house.

-"It can be arranged without a problem, he's not as noisy as that dumb head"

Yukina smiled lightly then dragged her attention to the birds in front of the stairs.

-"Are you eating?"

The birds picked among a few seeds lying on the ground.

(So Kurama-san will really come, he will come to see me, and only me, not like yesterday when he came to see the temple.)

Yukina found her own thought being selfish and shook her head lightly. She had things to do in the temple like always.

Cleaning, cooking. Things that old Genkai had some trouble doing now in her later days.

Yukina looked forward to do it, knowing that she was of great valuable help to someone.
