Dreams

**********

The feeling of a wet, cold thing seeped through Haruka's head. She opened her eyes and stared at an old man cluttering about her arm with a cotton bud, and an ice pack on her forehead. He had wrapped most of her arm and legs and her neck too.

"Mistress! Are you alright?" his old wrinkly skin seemed to double in amount and his eyes seemed to lose light under his bushy eyebrows she had never thought him that old before, but suddenly he seemed so fragile.

Haruka smiled at him reassuringly. The housekeeper had been with them for a long time. Since leaving Oji Chan back in china, after training they had come back at the age of six. Makoto had to take sleeping pills and get someone to carry her on and off the plane. She was totally petrified! But Haruka gave an understanding sigh for a little girl her age then. It had taken Haruka a lot of effort for her to get rid of the fear, but still makoto is still a little reluctant now.

It was the housekeeper, which looked after them, like a father to them. Oji chan would often send letters over and haruka and Makoto missed his company therefore pretended the housekeeper to be Oji chan.

Haruka got to her feet, although it was very late at night she had to get to the hospital where Mako was. Limping incredibly under the pain she thought of Mako's condition. She must be hurt really bad for her after effects to be this serious.

"Haruka mistress" the old man said in concern.

He got up and tried to make her sit down, but she was too strong despite the pain.

"Oji san, I really need to go see Mako."

The old man looked at her understandably and ceased to stop her. She grabbed from the table, stood up as tall as she usually did pushing the pain inside her, and strode towards the door. Every step she took felt like she had Armour with razor sharp nails sticking into her from inside into her flesh.

But she didn't care she had to go.

**********

Taiki stretched his arms about. His neck killed him, he had been sitting there for over five hours hacking into the school computers all over Japan looking for anything on Haruka.

Yaten walked in "have you found anything yet?"

Taking off his glasses he shook his head.

'Get some sleep, you've been sitting there like a total statue for five hours and I've been staring at you for the all five, you'll be the next medusa if you keep on doing that. One look at Taiki and you'll turn to stone' Yaten did a silly movement of turning into a statue.

Seiya was fully snoring, Taiki glanced over at his stress free friend and companion sprawled out on his bed asleep.

He closed his eyes, chuckled and shook his head, typical he thought.

Closing his advanced laptop he got up and headed to his bed.

'Lights out!' Yaten said, and with a click the darkness engulfed them.

**********

Makoto jerked awake, eyes wide, cold sweat ran down the back of her neck. The nurses had helped her change out of her unrecognized uniform and tried to get some bloodstains from her hair. A strong feeling grew inside her, closer and closer.

"Haruka" she whispered.

She could feel her coming. Panicking she rolled on to her side and sat up again, but stumbled off the hospital bed and hit the floor hard. Clenching her teeth as not to utter a sound of pain she tried desperately again to do something simple like sitting up, but she couldn't.

Feeling the wetness she knew her cuts had burst. She collapsed without enery on the cold hard ground of her hospital room.

**********

The Bee stared up at the screen at the dark emerald girl. 'Makoto...hmmm...nice name' he thought.

He knew who she was, Jupiter, and he loved it. Tingles pricked all over him when he thought of playing the game of cat and mouse with her.

he licked his lips and changed his plans a bit. He decided that he would deal with her himself, to bring the game higher one level. Hey what'd suppose? He was getting bored of the normal women beside him, each one more beautiful than one another. Or that's what they themselves think anyway. The endless battling and poisonous attacks on each other to achieve their masters notice, or more like along the words of power.

Grinning evilly he decided that. He was going to make her fall in love...

Fall in love with him.

Just then his brother walked in, 'Nisan' there was a huge smile spread across his handsome face. Knowing that look he crossed his arms.

'So. What did you do this time?' his brother's grin grew even bigger.

'Oh nothing much, just mucking around with the chicks. Dropped by that Haruka girl's house to say hi'

Flash back

~~~~~~~~~~

Haruka staggered out of her mansion with the keys in her hand ready to go. A cold pair of claw like hands stretched out from behind and held it on either side of her head. She stopped, with a cold feeling shivering down her spine she realized that she couldn't budge. Panic arose as cold sweat drops formed on her forehead.

It was the sting, the second dark prince, he brought his head closer his raven shape eye's, the colour of the sky, narrowed as he placed his left cheek on her white blond hair taking in her scent. Totally humiliated by moves of the enemy she tried to talk, but nothing would come out, she tried to move but she wouldn't budge.

'Tenou Haruka' his voice was wispy and low like the wind rustling through the leaves.

'very nice name, it means the sky, the wide spread, free, far. A beautiful name, just right for an attractive girl or should I say woman like you.'

She saw his hands move away from either of her head. Fury flamed inside her when they went lower.

'So venerable you are, tusk tusk.' he threw back his head and laughed softly. His arms circled her body centimeters from touching though not quite.

'Feeling angry are you' he mocked happily

Haruka couldn't believe that this was happening to her. This was the first time that she had ever felt such helplessness. She wanted to turn around and kill that person behind her. How she wanted to break his arms and send him to hell was burning inside her, but she couldn't.

'Tusk tusk, you look soooo attractive when you're angry' he continued, his strands of straight aqua hair mingled with Haruka's locks. He was strikingly handsome like his older brother but the difference was that he loathed soft mushy girls sucking up to him and everything. It was simple, he just got bored. Attracted by the spark in her personality he nearly stumbled over Haruka's different taste. Licking his lips he finally warned.

'Watch out because you'll be mine I promise'

Tat was all Haruka heard, because what followed was a darkness shrouding over her eyes and nothing else.

~~~~~~~~~~

Flash forward

~~~~~~~~~~

Kurama got home really late and shiori was very worried when he finally got home.

'Gomen Kaasan, I had something coming up in the way'

Makoto's blood was all over his reddish pink school uniform and although the colour was both red it was clear that the blood stains were darker, lying to shiori that it was nothing, just paint he hurried upstairs to change.

Hiei was sitting on his bed when he opened the door to his room.

'How's the ningen?' he asked casually. Kurama wasn't surprised he knew.

Kurama furrowed his brow 'She's really badly hurt with all those cuts. The doctors say that with her loss of blood she should've been dead.but she survived.' his voice turned into a whisper.

Hiei replied with his usual 'Hn'

'Did you find anything interesting' Kurama said taking off his stained suit and shirt.

Hiei didn't reply for a little while. 'They're looking for beings'

Kurama looked back at his friend 'they're looking for what?'

Hiei rolled his eye's irritably 'Beings, people with a very high source of energy. Not reiki or youki. Demented.ningen'

'Special' Kurama corrected.

'Shuuichi!' kurama's mother opened the door abruptly. Surprised at the unexpected entrance he quickly looked at his bed, but there was no one to be seen. Letting out a breath of relief he turned back to his mother.

'I thought I heard another person speaking' shiori said with a puzzled expression

'Uh.there was no one'

She looked at her half naked son smiled and decided to go back out 'its really late now quickly go to bed after your shower ok' smiling, she left lightly closing the door behind her.

As soon as she closed the door his expression melted away into his usual seriousness when he was worried or in deep thought. Quickly having a shower and slipping on his PJ's he turned off the lights and went into bed. Thoughts of Makoto jumped in. no matter how hard he tried the first sight of her couldn't get out of his head. He didn't want to explain it to himself what the matter was, but he wanted to see her. Slowly he drifted off in the midst of unpleasant dreams.

**********

Kuwabura opened his eyes to a fine morning. The sun shone through his blinds onto his face.

'KAZUMA!' Shizuru's voice surged through the house. Kuwabura jumped up.

'wha.?wha.? is there another earthquake!'

His sister threw opened the door, 'Kazuma! Get up! RIGHT now it's getting late and you'll be late for school!'

Kuwabura got up and ran through the house with his sister shouting and kicking at him. And after a series of bashings and abuse he finally got out of the house alive.

'itterashai!' and ran out like he was about to be murdered.

A schoolbag came flying at him 'you forgot this!' shizuru shouted angrily at his brother.

A big egg grew out on his head from the attack. Getting up after being bashed again, kuwabura walked away steaming.

'hn.stupid school.mumble mumble mumble,' why do we have to go to school anyway.' unnoticing anything in front of him, he crashed into something.

'Ah who is it!' he jumped up to find himself facing a pole. The people on the street stared back at him 'what are you looking!' he snapped. The people scurried away frightened.

Kuwabura sulked and walked on. Suddenly something hit his head and landed on top of the wall, looking up in irritation his eyes met a cat's, and its forehead displayed the most magnificent jewel he had ever seen.

'Kawaii desu ne~!' his high-pitched voice arose in delight, and nearly broke all the nearby glass.

'Common little neko' he goolgled waving his finger at it, but blinked its beautiful eyes and ran off with great speed. Not giving up Kuwabura ran after it.

'Come back!'

he watched it as it leapt from rooftop to rooftop and wall to wall. 'Ganbare Kuwabura' he said to himself as he ran like a maniac after the animal.

He came to a quiet bushy area in front of an apartment. He dived into the small garden of trees to find the little neko that he was after, but he met trouble instead. The Kawaii neko hissed and threw dagger looks at something in front to him. Lifting his orange head he moved backwards. He couldn't feel anything. This monster produced no reiki or youki of any sort.

Cold sweat formed on his forehead as he looked at the thing in front of him. It had tied up a little girl, using spider like silk. It stuck its prey like it was a fly. It licked its lips as it just finished a meal. Kuwabura flamed up at the sight. The innocent child hanging in mid air, it uttered no sound of protest or anything. Stricken by the thought that she was dead he got back to his senses. The thing has swallowed the little girl's oracle he noticed. He had to get it back; he had felt a funny sort of energy before the thing swallowed it but having no time to think he sharpened his senses.

The little cat bared its teeth and attacked, surprised the thing tried to brush it away but the cat was too fast for it. With a powerful slash of its razor sharp paw it ripped its clothes right down its chest. The thing staggered back scowling, it brushed the animal away like it was just a fly and sent it flying backwards into a tree thundering it down with the great force.

'Neko!' Kuwabura screamed at it heartbroken.

'REIKEN!'

Running forward he attacked it with a series of mindless slashing but not one shot hit it. It gave a kick and sent him flying next to the fallen cat.

Kuwabura clenched his teeth in pain, but hen he looked side ways he found the cat trying to get up. Surprised that it was still alive even after breaking a tree clean through its trunk he watched it as it stared back at him through big watery eyes, Kuwabura felt something strange, like there was something that it was trying to tell him.

He turned his head back at the monster and looked at the place, which the cat had tried to attack.

Neatly tattooed on the thing's left chest was a symbol. It was a funny looking black spade with the letter 'A' imprinted inside it. Something told Kuwabura that the symbol was it's weak point.

The cat leapt at it again. Kuwabura watched wide mouthed as the thing started to transform from a two-legged human shaped figure to an eight- legged spider.

'NO!'

He tried to warn the animal, but the gem on its forehead started to emit light. The thing staggered tried to halt at the attack; backing away from the attack covering it's eight eye's.

Seeing his chance Charged at it screaming at the top of his voice he stabbed it through the symbol with his reiken.

The thing emitted lights. Its skin started to form cracks, and then it burst revealing a little fairly like creature. He gasped though not full of the beauty, but that the little fairy like creature resembled that of the little victim. It slowly disappeared back into a flower and slowly shrank back into a seed, then an oracle like a reversing growth of a flower. Hovering in mid air glowing, the light seemed soothing and for a moment he thought that he was being shone on by that light of a god, but snapping out of his senses, he got the little girl down from that tree and laid her down on the grass gently.

He body had gone translucent and dense. The cat meowed and licked at the girls cheek. Grabbing the oracle the stuffed it in the girl's chest and he let out a relieved sigh when it slowly melted within her and he body started to come back.

She stirred, and opened her eyes.

' Your ok now little kid! I Kuwabura the great have saved you.'

He paused and looked around for the cat but he was nowhere to be seen.

The scrunched up her, sobbed and her tears came running down her face uncontrollably. Kuwabura panicked 'ah stop.sor.its.I'll.'

-----------------

Someone stared at an orange hair boy from amongst the shadows. 'Damn' she whispered, under her breath, 'another annoying interferer'. She kept herself well hidden by the trees, clenching her teeth she slipped away.

'i'll kill you all.I promise'
