_____________________________________________________________________________________________________
Padding through my house I heard the familar sound of Suiichi pulling a chair across the floor, most likely to grab something. I smiled slightly, Suiichi-kun always acts so mature, and adult-like, it was moments where he seemed to be forced to act like a kid that made parenting worth it. I laughed softly as I made my way towards the kitchen. I could heard the cabinet door squeak as Suiichi opened them. I heard plates jingle slightly and I tilted my head slightly as I stepped into the kitchen, why would Suiichi want plates? All thoughts of that fled my mind when I saw him slip though.
I gave a yelp and ran forward. Suiichi had dropped the plates, the stack shattering on the ground. If Suiichi fell on the shards he would be cut badly, possibly injuring his eyes, and if he landed wrong he could break his arm(s). As I ran forward it felt almost as if my world was slowing, but Suiichi-kuns had sped up. Sure enough he landed hard on his left arm, I could hear it snap as he hit the floor. The plate peices dug into his skin, leaving deep gashes. I was stopped by shock though when his form started to flicker. Was I imagining things?
No... I couldn't be, I could feel the pain as I stepped on the plate shards in my bare feet. My mind wasn't thinking right as I watched him. His short red hair grew out, turning silver, his eyes shut tight in pain flicked open, their green depth's turning a bright golden color. His body grew, emensly, a tail coming from the base of his spin, two furry ears poking out of his head. He held his left arm, this wasn't right at all... Suiichi was no monster! Slowly I spoke out, hoping that maybe my mind was playing tricks on me, "Suiichi-kun?"
His eyes widened ever so slightly and flicked up to me, "Kaasan?" I paled and stepped back, his voice was different too. No, this wasn't Suiichi. He frowned slightly, almost unsure of my reaction. My voice spoke out, trying my best to hold back my scared tone, "Who are you?" The canine like man frowned slightly, glancing down at his body, he seemed to pale, if that was possible. His form seemed almost as white as the walls around us, I would think it impossible to get any lighter in skin tone. He glanced back up at me, his eyes almost completly blank. If I looked hard enough I could see emotion.
He had confusion, nervousness, and anxiousness written deep in his cold golden depths. Slowly he stood, his eyes hardening over, all emotions fading away. He began walking towards me, with each step he made towards me, I took one step back. Finally I was cornered against a wall, his hands moving forward. I squirmed slightly, yelping as he grasped both of my shoulders and began to shake me.
.:*:.
Shori yelped and sat up to find Yuusuke shaking her shoulders. She let out a slight sigh, it had only been a dream, and it was Suiichi's friend that had been shaking her, not some pale canine humanoid. Yuusuke gave a slight smile and sat back, "You okay?" Shori gave a nod and shifted. She had been sleeping on the couch in Yuusuke apartment. Shori frowned slightly, trying to remember what she was doing there. Then she remembered, the bite mark. Yuusuke had said that her house was infested with a possible poisonous insect. She had seen on the news something about this.
She remembered them show images of people who had bite marks similar to hers murdered. She at that point had agreed to go with Yuusuke, not in the mood for being murdered. She had asked about Suiichi, Yuusuke said he was staying at the house of another friend of theirs. Yuusuke frowned slightly at Kurama's mother, "What was your dream about?" Shori's brow furrowned at that. She thought for a moment on how to describe her dream... no, nightmare. She had her feet on the floor, ankles crossed as she began to speak. "There was a while back when Suiichi was little, he dropped a pile of plates."
Yuusuke was about to ask about it when Shori continued, "The plates broke on the floor, cause he tripped. He had started to fall, but I had managed to grab him and keep him from getting cut up. He was panicky for a while because I had some nasty deep cuts, but they got fixed up, though later they became infected and I got ill." Yuusuke smiled every so slightly, that sounded like Kurama, getting so worried over Shori, then again he would do the same thing if his mother gashed herself up on broken plates. He then frowned again, "That was the dream?" Shori shook her head.
"No... Well yes... I had a dream that happened again, but it was different..." Yuusuke's eyes narrowed, Crevan at work alright, Yuusuke would have to make sure that Kurama found the news out through Kuwabara, or Kurama might mangle him instead. Yuusuke sweatdropped slightly at the thought of Youko sending plants after Kuwabara before he relized that Shori had started to talk again, telling the new version of that memory. "It started out the same. I was walking through the hall and I could hear him pulling the chair up to the counter and opening the cabinet and getting the plates."
Yuusuke bit back a snicker. He could imagine a little Kurama climbing on a chair, and it was just so cute and halarious at the same time. He held a straight face, wanting to hear what happened next. Shori continued, oblivious to Yuusukes "inner struggle", "I walked into the kitchen and I saw him seem to stummble and drop the plates. So like what really happened I ran forward to grab him. For some strange reason, my world seemed to slow down, but his stayed the same speed and he fell, landing on the shards cutting his arms and legs up. I could hear one of his arms break too."
Shori paused for a moment, as if debating on weather her mind was just playing trick on her. She went on with the silent urging of Yuusukes eyes. "I had finally made it to him, when he began to change..." Yuusuke paled ever so slightly, "Change?" Shori nodded, continuing, "He got alot bigger, his hair turned silver, he grew ears, and a tail, his eyes turned gold... And he as so pale." Yuusuke mentally gulped at this point, if Kurama knew Crevan was sending Shori dreams about his youko form, then there might be hell to pay. Yuusuke had no clue how Kurama felt on Shori knowing, but it was obvious he didn't want to tell her yet.
"He didn't look at me until I called out Suiichi's name. He seemed slightly confused and said Kaasan... I asked him who he was and he seemed to get even more confused then before. He looked down at himself and just stared for a moment, and said nothing. Then he got up and started walking towards me and I backed away. Once I was against the wall he started shaking me... Then you woke me up." Yuusuke held back a growl, gritting his teeth, Kurama would never do that to Shori, no matter what. Yuusuke sighed and shook his head standing, "Don't worry about it too much. Aslong as Suiichi didn't attack you in real life, theres nothing to worry about."
Shori didn't look so sure for a moment but she eventually nodded. Yuusuke had made sure to choose his words carefully. He wanted to help cheer the woman up a little, but not deny that Kurama was a youko, incase Kurama should decide to tell her. Yuusuke padded into his room, where the others were gathered. Yuusuke sighed and rubbed his head, "Shori had a messed up dream memory, thing." The others frowned, eager to know, but Yuusuke remained silent, fidgeting. It was finally Botan, who had decided to stay with them for now that spoke up. "What was it about?" Yuusuke sighed explaining the dream to the others. Kuwabara growled, the others(Botan, Keiko, Shizuru, and Yukina) looks ranging from angry, to troubled.
Yuusuke suddenly put on his best cute look and pounced on Kuwabara. "Kuwabara! Buddy!" Kuwabara growled trying to pull Yuusuke off, "Kisama! Off!" Yuusuke thought kept clinging to Kuwabara like a parasite, "You wouldn't mind telling Kurama about his mothers dream would you?" Kuwabara paled slightly and thwacked Yuusuke, "And have rabid plants trying to strangle me in my sleep!? No!" Yuusuke sulked, "But Kurama would be mad at Crevan, Not you." Kuwabara and Yuusuke, both not thinking that Kurama would want to attack Crevan, and not them kept on pleading and arguing till a ki flare caught their attention.
Yuusuke leapt off Kuwabara, who he had been stepping on and stepped out onto the balcony connected to his room. "Crevan... Come on Kuwa-baka!" Kuwabara growled as Yuusuke jumped off the balcony running towards the location of Crevan's ki. "URAMESHI! WHEN I CATCH YOU!" With That Kuwabara leapt after Yuusuke, nearly killing himself in the fall and ran after him.
.:*:.
(Mrr, this was written like 3 days later. My dad made me loose the ideas for this fight by making me go to bed and right now I'm really peeved at a friend so I'm taking my anger out on Hiei and Kurama. ^^; Sorry! Plus I got so great ideas for the rest of the story. Oh yes, also some one asked why Hiei got hit by his dragon when he could absorb it a while back. I have two reasons, Crevan was kidna close and Hiei was in shock, two, ^^; I forgot?)
A black shadow flew through the trees effortlessly, a silver, slightly red tainted one quickly fallowing. Red and gold eyes set and hard, ready to fight gleemed in the light of the fading sun as they ran forward. Crevan's ki would flicker on and off, like a flashing becon in the distance to a lost ship. Soon they saw him ahead. The woods ended sharply into a large feild. Most of the feild was torn up and placed into dirt mounds. There were one or two bundles of large wooden beams and iron rods and a few construction vehicals. There was no traces of reikai, for that the two demons were thankful, neither wanting to have to deal with panicking humans.
They both leapt down walking side by side into the construction zone. Crevan had his back to them. His ears seemed to twitch and he turned, flashing a grin at them, "So nice of you to come!" Hiei responded with a dark glare, Kurama's face staying blank. Crevan's aura appeared around him and the area changed around them. Both demon tensed up but relaxed as nothing serious happened. Several more objects appeared, aswell as the bodies of some humans and demons. Crevan almost purred as he spoke, "I was just cleaning up after my path. Oh! Kurama, don't I have to pay a visit to your mother?" Kurama's eyes flashed and his ki flared.
As if he had to turn them on manually, each muscle began to tense one by one, a hand on his shoulder made him relax, settling for just giving Crevan the glaring of his life. Crevan grinned, pushing aside the body of a dead human with his foot and made his way forward. Instantly Hiei had his katana drawn, Kurama holding hsi costumary rosewhip. Crevan stopped and practically pouted at the two, "tisk tisk... You should behave... But if you want to fight, then a fight I will give you." Crevan gave a broad grin and the world around them turned black. Kurama hissed as slowly, one by one atleast 50 Crevan's popped out of no where.
Then Hiei himself turned into Crevan, and all the dead bodies stood up, grabbing any missing body parts and sticking then back on. ANy bodies that were in peices reformed themselves, though they did poor jobs at it. Soon they too changed to look like Crevan. Kurama growled and held his head as the world around him spin and grew blurry. He staggard for a moment before the world finally grew still. Then as one all the Crevan's spoke, "Come and get me Kurama!"
.:*:.
Hiei gripped the hilt of his katana, this was getting old, and very fast. He was sick of these little games and prepared himself to end it when the world went black. He tensed but relaxed when nothing happened. Then slowly more and more Crevan's began to appear, soon Kurama's body melded and reshaped to look like Crevan. Even the corpses picked themselves up, put themselves back together, and changed to his appearance. Then the world seem to combust for a second, everything blurring and spinning about, twisting and breaking and reforming again. Slowly the world calmed, settling back, and all at the same time they spoke, "Come and find me Hiei!"
.:*:.
Kurama cursed, this wasn't going well. He couldn't tell which was the real Crevan, which was a illusion, which was a dead body, or which Hiei was. The only way to figure out who it was was too attack it. But if he attacked one there was chance that it would be Hiei, and hurting the jaganshi was the last thing the kitsune wanted to do. Hesitantly Kurama lifted his whip and lashed out striking two of the "Crevans". Both of them flicked and faded. Kurama sighed, only 70 more to go. He once more lifted his whip and lashed out hitting 3. Once more the 3 flickered and faded. ~67...~ Kurama slowly made his way along counting down as he went.
He was near the last 15 or so when the world beneath him blanched sending him tummbling. The world around him swirled and rippled as the ground quaked. Finally the world settled again and once more there were 74 or so Crevans. Kurama growled and spat a curse. He sighed and started the process again, praying deep in his heart that he wouldn't hit Hiei before he found Crevan. All of teh images anbd what no where standing still, proving Crevan to be confident that he wouldn't be found. Kurama smirked, over confidence was a weakness.
.:*:.
Hiei was growing frusterated as he began to slice through the demons. He was careful only to hit the limbs, incase it was Kurama. He didn't want to fatally wound Kurama, but the images wouldn't fade away unless the wound was fairly severe. Hiei hissed, just as he had gotten down to the last few teh world tummbled around, swirling and growing fuzzy. He fell over, pulling himself to his feet when the world stopped shifting. Hiei let out a low growl, ending it with a curse when he stood to face 70 more Crevan's once again. Hiei's ears twitched and his eyes narrowed when one Crevan in paticular gave him a feral grin.
Hiei hissed as it begna to run forward towards another and unwrapped the ward around his arm, he wasn't goind to let it get away. Heshowed illusions out of his way and slowly said the words to call upon his most powerful attack. "Jouh... Ensats... KOKURYUHAA!"( Sorry if I spelled the first two parts wrong!) Soon a familar roar surrounded him and a wave of black fire in the shape of his balck dragon ripped forth from his arm. He suddenly stopped running, his eyes wide. A tiny trickle of blood made its way down his chin. He looked down to spot the weapon that embedded it's self in his stomach. He reached down grasping it, pricking his hands.
His eyes slowly widdened before he fell forward and the illusionary world around him shattering.
.:*:.
Kurama was growing very pissed and tired of these games. He had taken to hitting 3 or 4 enemies at a time at this point. His caution almost fading away. Suddenly one of the illusions grinned at him, "Here foxie, foxie!" Kurama growled and ran forward a few steps before it turned and grinned. Kurama lashed at it. The second he lashed out a familar roar filled his ear. ~Hiei's balck dragon!? Where is he?~ Kurama heard a grunt from the Crevan that his whip was embedded in, but didn't have time to look. His eyes widdened with unmistakable fear as he saw Hiei's black dragon coming towards him. He gave a slight cry of alarm and leapt.
He moved to the side, his aura flaring up around to sheild him, arms infront of his face. He let out a cry of pain as Hiei's dragon caught his left side. As he landed on teh ground he heard another thud near by and the illusionary world shattered around him with a audiable sound of glass tinkling on the ground. Kurama gritted his teeth, placing all his weight on his right arm. Slowly he lifted his head to find Hiei crouched over near by with his own rose whip embedded in Hiei's side. Kurama's eyes flew wide and he tried to shout out, "Hi--" but at the movement of his jaw he felt of wave of liquid fire errupt from the left side of his neck.
Kurama's left side was a mixture of numbing cold and burning fire. He could faintly feel blood drip from some of the nastier parts where there was no skin left. Most of the clothes on his left side had been incinerated, his hair singed, slightly melted at the tips. His left eyes twitched, closing and opening in a random cycle in pain. Hiei had slowly pulled the rose whip from his side, holding it and gritting his teeth as he tried to stand. His right leg gave out on him, the leg on the side that was injured. There was a very large gash right about his right hip. Hiei finally spotted Kurama, reconizing instantly what happened when he saw Kurama... Crevan had tricked them.
Crevan stood near by giggling with absolute glee as he saw the two demons trying to stand, but failing. He smirked, "Pleasent dreams." With that his figure faded and disappeared. Kurama cursed, Crevan had never been there at all, he tricked them again. Slowly the world began to grow fuzzy and dark. Then as one the two passed out. The only thing the two of them heard as their world black out was the ragged breating of each other.

Kali: XD So how did you like it? *Feels demonic for some reason* ^^ The idea of them hurting each other was my friend Samantha's idea. Oo Took me a while to figure out where and how they would hurt each other. I had a hard time thinking up what Hiei would use on Kurama cause I didn't want him to use his katana. Then I said, "Screw it." XD and made up some puny way for Kurama to survive it.
Kurama and Hiei: ...
Kali: *Shifty eyes*
Nuria: Noooooooo!
Kurama and Hiei: *Watch Nuria for a moment, then hiss and pounce on Kali and feed her to plants before burnin the plants and walking off*
Kali: X.x *Wheeze* R&R
Kurama: Who is it now?
Kali: Shori XD
Kurama: *Growls*
Kali: O.o erk COme on now! You have me running every chapter and ye have yet to kill me! *Wheezes* Let me rest one chapter?
Hiei: Iie. *Uses black dragon wave on Kali*
Kali: X.X

All of teh images anbd what no where standing still, proving Crevan to be confident that he wouldn't be found. Kurama smirked, over confidence was a weakness.
.:*:.
Hiei was growing frusterated as he began to slice through the demons. He was careful only to hit the limbs, incase it was Kurama. He didn't want to fatally wound Kurama, but the images wouldn't fade away unless the wound was fairly severe. Hiei hissed, just as he had gotten down to the last few teh world tummbled around, swirling and growing fuzzy. He fell over, pulling himself to his feet when the world stopped shifting. Hiei let out a low growl, ending it with a curse when he stood to face 70 more Crevan's once again. Hiei's ears twitched and his eyes narrowed when one Crevan in paticular gave him a feral grin.
Hiei hissed as it begna to run forward towards another and unwrapped the ward around his arm, he wasn't goind to let it get away. Heshowed illusions out of his way and slowly said the words to call upon his most powerful attack. "Jouh... Ensats... KOKURYUHAA!"( Sorry if I spelled the first two parts wrong!) Soon a familar roar surrounded him and a wave of black fire in the shape of his balck dragon ripped forth from his arm. He suddenly stopped running, his eyes wide. A tiny trickle of blood made its way down his chin. He looked down to spot the weapon that embedded it's self in his stomach. He reached down grasping it, pricking his hands.
His eyes slowly widdened before he fell forward and the illusionary world around him shattering.
.:*:.
Kurama was growing very pissed and tired of these games. He had taken to hitting 3 or 4 enemies at a time at this point. His caution almost fading away. Suddenly one of the illusions grinned at him, "Here foxie, foxie!" Kurama growled and ran forward a few steps before it turned and grinned. Kurama lashed at it. The second he lashed out a familar roar filled his ear. ~Hiei's balck dragon!? Where is he?~ Kurama heard a grunt from the Crevan that his whip was embedded in, but didn't have time to look. His eyes widdened with unmistakable fear as he saw Hiei's black dragon coming towards him. He gave a slight cry of alarm and leapt.
He moved to the side, his aura flaring up around to sheild him, arms infront of his face. He let out a cry of pain as Hiei's dragon caught his left side. As he landed on teh ground he heard another thud near by and the illusionary world shattered around him with a audiable sound of glass tinkling on the ground. Kurama gritted his teeth, placing all his weight on his right arm. Slowly he lifted his head to find Hiei crouched over near by with his own rose whip embedded in Hiei's side. Kurama's eyes flew wide and he tried to shout out, "Hi--" but at the movement of his jaw he felt of wave of liquid fire errupt from the left side of his neck.
Kurama's left side was a mixture of numbing cold and burning fire. He could faintly feel blood drip from some of the nastier parts where there was no skin left. Most of the clothes on his left side had been incinerated, his hair singed, slightly melted at the tips. His left eyes twitched, closing and opening in a random cycle in pain. Hiei had slowly pulled the rose whip from his side, holding it and gritting his teeth as he tried to stand. His right leg gave out on him, the leg on the side that was injured. There was a very large gash right about his right hip. Hiei finally spotted Kurama, reconizing instantly what happened when he saw Kurama... Crevan had tricked them.
Crevan stood near by giggling with absolute glee as he saw the two demons trying to stand, but failing. He smirked, "Pleasent dreams." With that his figure faded and disappeared. Kurama cursed, Crevan had never been there at all, he tricked them again. Slowly the world began to grow fuzzy and dark. Then as one the two passed out. The only thing the two of them heard as their world black out was the ragged breating of each other.

Kali: XD So how did you like it? *Feels demonic for some reason* ^^ The idea of them hurting each other was my friend Samantha's idea. Oo Took me a while to figure out where and how they would hurt each other. I had a hard time thinking up what Hiei would use on Kurama cause I didn't want him to use his katana. Then I said, "Screw it." XD and made up some puny way for Kurama to survive it.
Kurama and Hiei: ...
Kali: *Shifty eyes*
Nuria: Noooooooo!
Kurama and Hiei: *Watch Nuria for a moment, then hiss and pounce on Kali and feed her to plants before burnin the plants and walking off*
Kali: X.x *Wheeze* R&R
