*****************************Part 4*****************************
Meanwhile, Kurama, Yuusuke, Kuwabara, and Kieko had brought Dagger and the rest to
Genkai's temple to stay the night. Botan had to go back to the sprit world to asset Koenma with
something. Genkai allowed them to stay in one of the rooms.
"Hm...another dimension, thats a new one," Genkai said, after hearing the whole story.
"Yeah, we don't know how to help them," Kurama added, sounding a little disappointed.
"Oh, crap!" Yuusuke looked at his watch. "My mom is going to kill me! I have to go." He
quickly ran off.
"I better go to," Kuwabara said as he watched Yuusuke race home. Kieko shrugged and,
followed the two. Kurama waved to them, of course only Kuwabara and Kieko were able to
return it.
"What about you Kurama?" Genkai stood beside him.
"Well, I was hoping you would let me stay here the night. So I can learn more about Zidane and
them," they stared at each other for awhile until Genkai finally nodded her head.
"Arigato," Kurama thanked her.
"You can have the room beside them. And if I were you, I would call your mom and tell her,"
she pointed her thumb to a phone in the main room. I didn't know she had a phone. Kurama
thought as he walked to it.
"Hello?" a voice asked form the other end.
"Mom?" Kurama asked.
"Yes, Shuichi? Where have you been?" she asked with a worried tone.
"Don't worry, I'll be staying at friends house tonight, is that ok?" he lied. He hated lying to her,
but he never wanted her to find out the truth.
"I guess so, have fun," she became relaxed.
"Thanks Mom," he hung up. Kurama made his way to the room beside Zidane's party, and
found out that a bed was already ready for him. He shrugged and went to the neighboring room.
Knocking first.
"Yes? Come in," he heard Dagger call. Kurama did just that.
"Oh, hello Kurama," she greeted him.
"Can we talk for awhile?" he asked her and the rest. Zidane had curled up in the corner and was
asleep, Vivi was against the wall not looking tired at all. Eiko was sitting next to the sleeping
Zidane, admiring the pajamas Genkai had given them.
"Sure, just don't expect anything out of Zidane. He fell right sleep when we got here, didn't
even change his clothes," she smiled looking over at him. Kurama gave a short laugh.
"I'm sorry," she said looking down.
"What for," Kurama sat down next to her.
"We don't really know what we're doing here, we must be a real headache."
"No, of course not! You guys are really nice, and it's not your fault you got stuck here,"
Kurama comforted her.
"Thank you, you and your friends are really helping us get through this. This isn't an everyday
thing for us either," she stared into Kurama's eyes. She hadn't noticed how handsome he was
until now. She suddenly found herself falling in love with him. What am I doing? She asked
herself. I shouldn't have these type of feelings for him. She shook her head and tried to turn
away, but Kurama's emerald green eyes kept them there.
"Whats wrong?" Kurama asked, noticing the weird expression in her eyes.
"Oh! Um...nothing I just...really appreciate your help," she sputtered blushing. It then hit
Kurama. Oh, no! I forgot about all the girls in my school who fall over me. I was hoping it didn't
have the same affect on Dagger. Kurama decided it was time to leave. As he got up Dagger
called after him.
"Matta! G-gomen ne, I-I didn't mean too..."
"It's ok," Kurama didn't want to hear the next words. Dagger smiled, and he couldn't help but
smile back. Dagger had that affect. She laid back down and prepared to fall asleep, Eiko and Vivi
had fallen asleep at one point.
Kurama had settled down on the bed in his room, but found that he and sleep just weren't
cooperating. So, he sat outside on the steps. Gazing at the sparkling diamonds in the night sky.
He sighed. I hope I didn't mess anything up with Dagger and Zidane. Hiei, where did you go to?
"Kurama?" Kurama spun around and saw Eiko approach him.
"Yes?" he asked sensing something was wrong.
"I can't sleep," she rubbed her eyes sleepily. She sat down beside him and rested her head on his
shoulder.
"What were you and Dagger talking about?" she asked following his gaze up at the stars.
"Huh? Oh, nothing really," he said putting his arm around her. Hoping to comfort her.
"Why can't you sleep?" Eiko shrugged/
"I guess it's just being in this world," her voice became quieter.
"Where did your friend go to?" she suddenly asked.
"You mean Hiei? I have no idea. He doesn't like to do anything that involves meeting new
people," Kurama laughed at the idea.
"Too bad, he sure is really cute," she settled down on Kurama and fell asleep. Kurama sat out
for about another hour or two, until he finally started feeling tired. He carried Eiko back to her
bed. And then fell asleep himself.
* * *
"Dagger, I love you," Kurama announced embracing her gently in his arms. She didn't try to
struggle or get away, but instead moved closer to him. Her world seemed to melt around her,
nothing mattered but the two of them. She reached up to kiss him, to press her lips against his.
"Dagger!" another voice shouted, ruining the moment.
"Zidane?!" Dagger gasped. She had not expected him back so soon.
"What are you doing here?" Kurama glared at him, the tone of his voice wasn't familiar. It was
filled with hatred and jealousy.
"Get away from her!" Zidane yelled, pulling out his sword. They charged each other, determined
to slice each other's throat.
"No! Stop!" Dagger tried to prevent the fight. But they couldn't hear her. Her mouth moved but
no words came out.
"No!!" she woke up. She was sweating and breathing heavily. She shot her gaze to Zidane who
seemed to be peacefully dreaming, he had a big grin on his face. She ran over to Kurama's room,
he was asleep. His back to her. She sighed in relief, making her way back to her room. She
nudged Zidane. Who seemed reluctant to wake.
"Zidane?" she shook him more.
"What?!" he sat up annoyed. His eyes widen when he saw Dagger. "Dagger? I'm sorry, I didn't
mean.."
"It's ok, I had a bad dream," she pushed him back down. And she curled up to him, pulling the
covers over them both.
"Goodnight," she whispered.
"....Goodnight," Zidane smiled and they fell asleep without anymore nightmares.
"Breakfast!" Genkai called around 8:30 in the mourning. Startled by the sudden shout Zidane
and the rest woke up almost immediately. While Kurama, had to stretch a few times. Genkai had a
table set up with a plate of breakfast for each chair. It consisted of pancakes, eggs, bacon, and
sausage.
"Wow Genkai! You really didn't have to do all this," Kurama looked hungrily at the meal.
"It was no problem, considering that I didn't really cook anything. I just set the table," Genkai
explained.
"You didn't?" Kurama asked, as he and the rest sat down.
"Nope, we did," Kieko came out wearing an apron, followed by Yukina, Kuwabara, and
Yuusuke.
"Yukina? What are you doing back?" Kurama asked. They all found a seat and sat down.
"Well, my friend was called away, so I came back last night," she explained putting the syrup in
the center of the table.
"Oh, thats nice. I don't think you have met our new friends yet," he gestured to Zidane who
waved friendly.
"Oh yes, My name is Yukina. It's nice meeting you all," she bowed.
"Hi, my name is Zidane and this is Dagger, Eiko, and Vivi," Zidane pointed each person.
"And where are you from?" Yukina asked.
"Um, Alaxandria, it's in another dimension," Dagger explained hoping Yukina was as unmoved
by the story as everyone else was.
"Another dimension! Wow! How did you guys get here," Yukina was shocked.
"Well, lets see......" Zidane explained the whole story again, to Yukina.
"Wow, how do you plan to get home?"
"We don't know yet," Vivi said.
"Oh my, I'll help too," Yukina volunteered.
"Thank you. This world sure is nice," Zidane looked around at the new friends he had made in
such a short time. If we ARE going to find a way home, it will because of their help. For sure. He
smiled and continued eating his breakfast.
Geez, were the heck is Hiei? Kurama thought to himself. He should have at least met me last
night. Kurama and Hiei usually meet during the night when every else was asleep. Just talk about
whatever, or just sit and say nothing. It seemed to be a big thing in their friendship.
Meanwhile, Kurama, Yuusuke, Kuwabara, and Kieko had brought Dagger and the rest to
Genkai's temple to stay the night. Botan had to go back to the sprit world to asset Koenma with
