**Rainy Days** Chapter One
If you ever find yourself in the spirit world - for whatever strange twist of fate - there is a forest, lush and green and full of life, with strange plants with even stranger growing habits. And in this forest there is a den, a den witch for many years has been left neglected. If one were lucky enough to have stumbled upon this den without being sensed by the master they would be able to go deeper into it than any other has been. For no one enters this place without the master's consent and lives. But since it is abandoned it may be considered safe. may be.
"So, how in the world did you find me?" Kurama and Sakuya sat together in the cluttered dorm room he shared with a friend at the collage.
"Hm, this looks interesting." Sakuya held up a book with a gum stain on it. "I'm hoping this isn't yours Kurama." She places the book down surveying the explosion of junk, clothing, books, and personal items that are using the floor as a shelf. "This place is a pig sty Kitsune."
Kurama looked around the room from his place lying on the bed and blushed. Normally he was a neat freak but he had just given up on trying to force his room mate to keep his side clean, then Exams had started and he was so swamped with studying he didn't have time to do an occasional clean, or at least that was what he told himself. So he shrugged and relayed these thoughts to Sakuya. "Are you trying to avoid my question?"
"Maybe I can tell you later." She reached out and playfully batted at the lock of red hair that fell beside his face.
"Okay then," He smiled and deflected her hand when she tried to grab at his hair again. "Answer this: Where did you get those clothes?"
Sakuya made a big deal of thinking before being coy. "It's a secret."
"You didn't hurt anyone, did you?" He was starting to wonder about the methods used to acquire a university uniform, he was positive that you could only buy them though the school.
"No, I didn't hurt anyone. I saw the uniforms on other people and figured I was out of place. So I snuck in a window and grabbed on form somebody's closet. No one killed or injured. Just. someone with one less uniform." Sakuya spun around to show it off. "Isn't it cute!"
Kurama thought that she was the one making it cute but before he could say as much there was a rapping on the door. Before Kurama could get up and around Sakuya the person on the other side declared that they were coming in and everyone better be decent.
The door was slung open to reveal a boy about Kuramas age though about a head shorter with closely cropped green hair. "Hey Shuichi! No pretty girls can hang around unless there hear for me."
Kurama grinned. "What pretty girl could want you?" then turning to Sakuya he introduced her to his roommate. "This is Kyle. The messy one I was telling you about." Kyle did a flourished bow tried to kiss Sakuya's hand to impress her but she only giggled at him.
"It is a pleasure to meat you fair maiden."
Sakuya laughed again and played along. "Aye, but you have yet to even learn my name!"
Kurama introduced her then quickly made a cover story "She's a friend from my high school and I met up wither her earlier today. She was just telling me that she changed schools when here when her fathers business moved to this town so that they could stay close." That should cover it for now.
Sakuya jumped in after Kurama had finished to elaborate. "I'm the only family he has since my mother died of a mysterious disease, so he gets lonely since he is also sick and I didn't want to be too far away, besides this is a much better collage."
Poor Kyle was beginning to feel sorry for her. "That's so sad, and you take care of your father in your mothers place. How brave!" Seeing this as a prime opportunity he reached out to hug her but fell flat on his face when she sidestepped him and threw herself into Kurama's arms to sob into his chest when she was actually shaking from giggles.
Sakuya tried to turn her giggles to wailing sounds but was a bit unsuccessful and only succeeded in making herself laugh harder.
Kurama choked down the urge to join in. "You'll have to excuse us, she's hysterical." He stroked her soft hair in what he hoped looked like a comforting manner. "Please, Kyle, I think you should leave."
Kyle got up to dust himself off and left slightly confused.
They waited till they could no longer hear his footsteps and then broke out laughing.
"That - HA! Was horrible!" Sakuya waited till she had calmed down before deciding to talk. "Better not try that again. Really, I think maybe he just wanted to hug me."
Kuramas warm arms wrapped around her in a protective embrace "Who wouldn't?"
Sakuya looked up to smile at him. "Sap."
Back in the forest a shadowed figure leaves the den. It had been a good day for the shadow, very good indeed. You could almost say that his plan was working out perfectly, even if changes had been made. But the changes had been made because of his luck. Such as finding the den, the master being away, and then discovering the dragons hoard of treasure. All nicely unguarded. The shadow chuckled to itself as it slipped a few more coins into its purse before turning to leave. To have been able to place the blame on someone else. Yes, it had been a good day indeed.
Sakuya sat at the foot of Kuramas bed humming and bobbing her head to the music blasting between her ears. "You done yet?" She called over to loud music so that she could hear herself.
"No," Kurama was bent over at his desk working on a paper. "Your going to go deaf you know."
All Sakuya could hear was a mumble so she called out again. "What?" He reached over to take her headphones off and repeated himself. "Am not. My hearing is exceptionally good, thank you very much."
"I could hear it from the desk." He turned back around to pick up on his work.
Sakuya was starting to get fidgety, she had taken a nap, played with the feathers hanging off Kyle's dream catcher thing, and bounced around on the bed (till Kurama had asked her to stop and given her the headphones as an alternative.) Sakuya frowned and thought that if she had her cat tail it would be swinging around like crazy, then she could stalk around the room and pounce on things, maybe if she opened the window and waited a butterfly would come tough, then she could shut if real fast and try to catch the pretty thing. But Kurama wouldn't let her because someone might come in and a girl with cat ears and a tail (not to mention her slit eyes.)
That gave her an idea. She walked over to the window and fiddled with it till it opened. The in mid pounce she transformed into her beast form and was soon a small lean yellow eyed black cat. Kurama glanced up just in time to see her stare up at him from the flowerbed outside his widow. "Don't get into any trouble, and get back before dark or else the deans will be out the get you. No cats allowed." If cats could make expressions this one would have gone though a large range of them before gracefully hoping our of the bed and going on a hunt for rodents. or at least someone to scratch behind her ears.
*~*~Who is the shadow? Who is the master of the den? What did he mean by placing the blame on someone else?! HAHA! Not telling! More about that next chapter! ~*~*
A/N Hidy ho! So remember kiddies any strange questions can be answered by the fact that this is AU and I can bloody well do what I like with it! *mumbles* that aught to show them all! *end mumbling* And we finally get down to the business of making a plot! And obviously as you see I have decided to continue it! OH! Also more about Kurama and Sakuyas past together!! Sorry the chapter was a bit short but the next one is going to be a big big BIG! Long one but I just haven't finished it all so you have this till that's done ^.^ thank you for Reviewing!! I love reviews. Give me more! *Giggles*
