Intro
In the light of a wintry moon, I walk among the shadows of the forest of which I spent many if my years. Something in the air was different then I remembered it, for the scent of another youkai was present. I realized the rarity of the situation and sat under the lurking shadow of an elm tree, thinking of the possibilities if fighting.
I've always been known for my horrid anxiety, so I move on, attempting to diminish my fear. The scent of that youkai was becoming more and more distinctive. I could not get the many faces of danger out of my head. Fighting is a last resort for me, so I would not fight that youkai unless it was needed.
I finally step in the yard of a decomposing cabin. Feeling the safety of home, I run inside. My coat was on the wall, my picture on the table, my slippers under my bed. I was home again, safe from that youkai.
Sitting on my bed, with the sheets perfectly pressed, I felt drowsy. I lay my head on the pillow. In a matter of minutes, I was asleep. That's how it all started.
Chapter 1
I'm Coming Home
It had been quite a long time since I'd seen them. I've missed Hiei, Kurama, Yusuke and Kuwabara so much since I left. It had been far too long. My dreams were plagued with their faces. I needed to see them, for I missed them to the point of irony.
As I lay in my confined home, I thought back on the memory of a dream. I was young, and never understood what it meant. It stayed in my head for an unknown reason. The dream must have had a purpose.
It all began in darkness. I was being chased by a figure that was unknown to me; it seemed to be a shadow. Its powers were implacable to mine. The only thing I saw clearly was its eyes.
The creature was fast, but I still ran. It seemed to be an endless round of cat and mouse. A tear ran down my face as I had come to a dead end. It pulled out it's blade, but before it slayed me, I looked in it's eyes once more.
I never thought in my life I'd see something that made me happy, something I enjoyed. When I saw that figure, though it was not intended to impress me, I saw something behind those eyes that didn't want to hurt me. I know I did.I will never forget.that trace of something, was love.
I immediately sat up in my bed. I knew what it was about. That figure.those eyes.it was no longer a blur.it was Hiei. Questions invaded my head like a river of truth, why was he holding such a feeling back.why did I leave.why did I dream this dream so long ago.
I knew what was needed, I needed to get back there and see him again. I should have never left his side, for I was happy there. I was never that happy again. Though it had been years since I'd seen Hiei, hell, since I had seen the detectives alone, I was coming back.
A sudden rush of excitement as I sprint out of my home and through the forest, snow rising at me heels. I'm going back where I should be, where my soul always was. I'm coming home.
