"Talon…" a soft voice called, Talon turned towards the voice.

"Who's… there?" she called, suddenly a bright light enveloped her. Talon reflexively shielded her eyes with her arm and shut her eyes tight.

"Talon…" the voice said again, slowly Talon opened her eyes and lowered her arm. A shadow walked towards her from the source of the light. Talon squinted, trying to make out the person. The figure stopped still a way's away from Talon. She took a step towards the figure.

"Don't come closer, you may die," the voice warned.

"Who are you?"

"I'm a friend," the voice sounded like it was smiling, "I wanted to talk to you before it was too late,"

"Too late? What are you talking about?"

"Its almost time," the voice grew serious, "If you continue this way, you'll loose everything, when it happens,"

"When it happens? What's going to happen?"

"Don't loose yourself Talon," the voice was grim, "If you don't figure it out, you'll be gone," Talon stared at the shadow as she slowly turned away. "Don't loose what's most important to you,"

"Talon…" a strained man's voice said behind her, Talon spun around.

The light behind her instantly died, she was standing in a rainy forest area the sky dimly lit by the moon. Her dad limped out of the underbrush towards her, he was covered in blood from head to toe and his arm lay as if broken to his side. He stumbled and fell Talon ran to his side.

"Daddy!" she cried out, she tried to lift him the best she could by slinging one of his arms over her shoulder. She felt weaker then usual so the task was difficult. She managed to lift him up onto his knees she tried to look him in the eye. He stared blankly ahead, not seeing, not responding. "Daddy!"

"Don't waste your breath," a cold voice snapped. Talon looked up to see a woman standing by a tree. Her sword drenched in blood, her mouth twitched up in a smirk.

"Mom…" Talon breathed.

"You did fine work of the demons, I'll give you that, my little Jennifer," Talon blinked before looking down. Her body was plastered with blood; fearfully she looked back at her father for comfort and froze. The person dead by her side was Kurama. He slipped out of her grasp and fell to the ground. Horrified Talon took several steps back, her foot knocked against another body. She shrieked as she spun to see Yusuke dead with Keiko in his arms. Kuwabara, Yukina, Botan, Koenma, even Hiei littered the ground before her. Talon backed away from the corpses, the blood covering her body began to thicken until it cemented her feet to the ground. Talon breathed heavily covering her face with her hands.

"You're just like me," a voice hissed behind her, "Now join them," Talons head spun to look just as her mother thrust her sword towards Talon.

Talon screamed.

Talon's eyes jolted themselves open and she jerked to the far edge of her mattress. She had a moment of panic when she didn't recognize her surroundings I…I killed them! I… I killed them! Her mind moaned then she remembered.

"A… a dream?" she whispered aloud, a critter walked up to her and purred loudly in her ear seeming really happy to see her awake. Slowly she sat up and picked the kitten up in her arms. Absently she scratched the kitten behind its ears while she focused on the first part of her dream.

"If you continue this way, you'll loose everything, when it happens," When what happens? The person seemed intent on telling Talon that something was about to happen, something important, and Talon would lose everything if she didn't change it. But what? She looked over at Kurama who was still sleeping peacefully. Talon felt a small smile slip onto her features before she got up for the day.

Talon sat on Kurama's back porch staring off into the distance. Her hair was dripping wet from her shower. The cool air confused her senses and chilled her.

"If you're out here like that then you'll get sick again," Talon turned to see Kurama standing in the doorway. He was smiling at her teasingly but there was a touch of concern in his emerald eyes.

"Hey Kurama," Talon said softly before looking back towards the misty grounds. Kurama walked up to her and sat down next to her.

"Whats wrong Talon?" He asked in a soft tone, Talon looked over at him before looking over the landscape again.

"I…" she bit her lip unsurely, she suddenly realized she wanted to tell him everything. She took a deep breath and turned to him, "I," She began determinedly, bodies littered everywhere, Talon stared at her blood covered hands. Talon froze as the images refused to unweave themselves from her vision. Kurama cocked his head curiously as she looked down and away from him.

"Its nothing Kurama," she finally said, a gentle wind blew itself around them. Talon looked up at the sky.

"I like being here," she whispered, "I like being here with you," Kurama leaned back with a smile.

"I like it too," They sat quietly staring at the misty world.

Time… please stop… Talon thought softly, Please…

"Okay, now what" Yusuke stretched out his arms with a yawn.

"We could run around screaming like idiots," Talon suggested before lying onto her back under the tree. Keiko sat down next to her looking skeptical.

"That would be… interesting," she said, Kuwabara suddenly stood up and ran out onto the street without his shoes. He began screaming as his feet got burned.

"Or… we could watch Kuwabara," Talon said seeming to become interested. Kurama turned away to hide his smile. Keiko shrugged before reaching over to play with Talons hair.

"There's not much to do on Sunday's is there?" she asked. Shizuku, who had come with Kuwabara, shrugged.

"There's plenty to do really, we're just not imaginative if we're not fighting rouge demons." Talon watched as Shizuku inhaled on her cigarette before turning to Yusuke.

"How's Atsuko?"

"Hangover," Yusuke rolled his eyes before looking up as Kuwabara approached, "Have fun?" he asked. Kuwabara collapsed onto the ground.

"That hurt…" he remarked.

"You realize I wasn't serious," Talon said smirking, she flinched when Keiko pulled on a clump of her hair.

"Sorry," Keiko said quickly. Talon shrugged indifferently before turning to look up at the sky. It was clear and blue; it seemed to tell her to relax. Talon closed her eyes and drifted.

Talon awoke with a start, the dream she had had the night before had replayed itself becoming more and more real. What did it mean? Kurama was sitting against the tree reading his book; he looked up when she sat up looking confused.

"You alright?" he asked,

"Yeah…"

"You fell asleep hours ago, everyone's already gone home."

"I see," Talon slowly stood up and brushed the grass off her jeans. "Should we leave too?"

"Sure, but, there's somewhere I wanted to go with you." Kurama stood up and offered his hand to Talon. She took it without a moment's hesitation, still too tired to realize exactly what she was doing.

Kurama led her through the town to the beach where the two of them stood staring out into the golden waves from the sunset. Talon looked at Kurama curiously.

"Why here?"

"I don't know, I just wanted to go here with you, and I felt like today was the day to do it." Talon felt her stomach twist but all she did in response was nod.

"Okay…" Talon watched the sun slowly sink into the horizon.

"You can be friends for now, but if you don't tell him. I will," Karin's voice suddenly echoed in her head. Talon shook her head uncomfortably.

"I can't tell him… I can't… its just too painful…" Talon repeated again and again in her mind.

"Kurama…" she heard herself say despite that, Kurama turned to look at her with a small smile. "I love you, I love you, I love you," her heart pounded over and over, saying the words her mouth couldn't form.

"Never mind its nothing,"

While Kurama was in the shower Talon curled up on the mattress, she didn't bother to dress in her pajamas. What do I do?? What do I do? The question echoed angrily in her mind. Something hot and wet suddenly dripped off her face and splashed her arm. Talon froze and touched her cheeks feeling the moisture from her tears. She shoved her face into her pillow and let herself cry to sleep.

The answer was clear the moment she awoke sweating and frightened early the next morning. The dream wasn't a dream, it was a warning. Talon swallowed.

I'll go and meet my mother…and put this finally to an end.

-chapter 14 end-

O…kay, NO I didn't abandon this story! And yes I didn't know what I was doing for this chapter, because the hardcopy was pretty dumb, and I'm wondering if I'm going to change the ending from its original plot. Hmm… decisions decisions.

I'm sorry this took so long but HEY I updated.
