"She seems uncomfortable," Kurama muttered to himself, "I hope her memories are not too terrifying. She should wake up soon."

-Sandra's Flash back-

"Mom I don't know okay?" I yelled from the dining room, she yelled back, "You don't know anything! You don't do anything!" Instead of listening to her I simply walked to my room.

"Are you alright?" Suddenly I was on my bed and one of my posters, not sure which, spoke to me.

"Sandra?" I heard it again and it clearly came from the poster I had of Hiei and Kurama.

"Kurama?" I asked. My room started to shake around me and I woke up.

"it's time for school," my mom poked her head around the corner of my room. I looked over and grabbed my phone to see the time: 7:30. I got up off my bed and my moms head disappeared out of the room.

"I could of sore I already woke up today, dejavu," I wishpered to myself, "but I really thought I did."

I looked over, my room was so empty! We just moved in and all that was there was my bed. A bag of my clothing was near me on the ground. I grabbed it and picked out some clothes-

"Sandra!"

I jumped, as chills went up me, I turned and my walls had poster of my favorite anime. Yu Yu Hakusho, and Rurouni Kenshin, and also a Zelda poster-

"Sandra," I heard my moms voice around the corner, "why are you up so late?"

"I thought you said it was time for school," I answered. As my mom reached my door she rolled her eyes and walked away. I shrugged and looked at my phone for the time: 7:39 pm. Not am.

I laid down and closed my eyes.

"SANDRA!"

I shot up. "Yes?" I asked timidly, sliding over to hit the light switch close by. The lights were on again but I didn't see anything.

"Sandra why are you being so loud? Our guest are coming! Get dressed"

"What on earth?" I asked, "I thought it was late?"

"Mom I think I am having major blackouts!"

"Shut up get dressed," she yelled.

I kept quiet and got dressed; if my mom put her anger out on me now she would be mad when her "guest" came because they would be concerned about me.

Another softer cry came out from nowhere, "Its Kurama, wake up!"

"I knew it," I spoke out loud, "but I am awake."

As I became more aware of my actual surroundings my vision went blank.

Kurama shook Sandra one more time; her eyes slowly opened. She appeared to be overwhelmingly confused. "Kurama?" she asked. He nodded and moved to help her sit up.

"I would have let you sleep longer but under the circumstances I thought it would be best if we could complete our task?"

Sandra agreed, as they both stood up, "Where are we?"

They were in a room. It was made up of leaves and vines but it looked as if it was just as sturdy as a wooden house. Nothing was in it and it was small. The floor was made up of grass and many wild flowers.

"I grew them to blend in with our surroundings. How do you feel?"

"Weird, I kept having these dreams but they were real!"

"I can imagine, but for now we have to start moving. I saw Chu earlier when I had picked you up; he's still close buy."

Kurama grabbed Sandra's hand and pulled her right through one of the walls of leaves to exit. He maneuvered her once again to the beach; this time they stayed closer to the forest side. There he was, Chu, with a group of men around a fire. It was dark now, Sandra realized. But the moon lit the shore. Her and her escort were hidden in the shadows of the trees.

"Now I was thinking," they heard Chu start, in an accent different from the one they had known, "maybe I should go into some sort of business."

"That would be a waste of your physical potential," one of the older of the men stated.

"Yes well I don't want to be going out lookin' for fights do I now?" Chu's accent came out in his frustration."

"You always talk nonsense Chu," the others nodded in agreement, clearly disappointed by Chu And his decisions.

"Fine then," he mumbled and walked away, taking a big case of bottled rum with him.

"Oh poor Chu," Sandra whispered to Kurama. He pulled her to follow Chu; it turned out pretty uneventful. He drank. And drank. And he... Drank. He was all alone on a broken tree. The stump next to him held his rum.

"I will go talk to him," Sandra walked from Kurama's grasp. He stayed behind but very close by.

"Excuse me, Chu?" she moved out from the bushes and around into Chu's view. He was large and appeared almost exactly the same as always, but his face was younger and his eyes desperate.

"Yes?" he stated, " You are a doll, you, but look-e-here I am not interested in any offers."

"Offers?"

"Oh 'offers'!" Sandra quickly answered her last statement, "no no no!"

She shook her head violently,"I mean not that I wouldn't want to offer you something but- well I just wanted to ask you if you were okay?"

" aye Did them fools send ya?" he asked, slightly intrigued.

"No they did not."

"How did you know my name?"

Sandra just shook her head and Chu didn't push, "and your name would be, Sheila?"

"It's Sandra," she gradually moved forward then sat beside the large man on the horizontal tree. Chu offered Sandra a drink and she took it. He chuckled from deep with in his belly as she took here first drink; she definitely was not a drinker. His great hand came down on her back firmly a few times as she coughed.

"There, there girly, take it slow and the harshness with grow on ya,"

Kurama did his best to hold in his own laugh as Sandra exclaimed, "OH GOD! Who on earth drinks this!"

"Men do!" Chu rowdily announced, toasting an imaginary audience.

"Men are officially stupid! Well their taste buds are!"

"ha ha! Come I will tell you anything! We are friends now!" Chu pulled Sandra closer and gave her a new flask of water.

"Great! Please tell me, you fighting technique?" Sandra jumped in quickly. Chu's reaction surprised her, because he was surprised and confused.

"Well, now, I can't say I have one," he thought, "well I mean I can throw people around pretty well."

"I see"

"Well I do drink a lot, though and sometimes it's like it energizes me but everyone thinks me to be some kind of goof." Chu almost immediately fell back into a depression.

"Why don't we talk more tomorrow?" Chu asked wearily as he passed out.

"I don't think I have much of a choice..." Sandra answered as she tried to pull Chu back up on to the tree. Kurama came in to help. They decided that as long as they were waiting on him they should get some rest.
