"Yusuke told me he'd meet me here once he came back from his case." Keiko stated, sat down on a bench with her hands in her lap. Minako took a seat next to her and sighed as she saw the sky began to become a light shade of orange with a touch of a flaming red. About two weeks had already passed since Minako found out about Yusuke's secret life as a spirit detective. It was now a Saturday, and Keiko and Minako have been coming to the park every day now and waited for Yusuke and the gang to return. Keiko wasn't too sure when he was to come back, however she had her hopes up that'd he finally come today.

On the other hand, Minako wasn't waiting at all for Yusuke to come back. She couldn't care less if he came back because Minako didn't like Yusuke very much. Who she was actually impatient to meet was in fact Kurama. His name was very similar to the one from her dreams. But, if she was to find that he perhaps was not the right person she had been looking for, she's be deeply disappointed. Minako sighed as she began to gaze at the sky.

"What if he doesn't show up, Keiko?" Minako said, taking her eyes off the sun setting sky and looking to Keiko.

Keiko sighs as she pulls a strand behind her ear. "I guess I'll just wait another day... again."

Squinting her eyes a bit, Minako could see what looked like four people walking to them. ~Could that be them?~ She began to wonder if that was Yusuke and the gang, but she wasn't too sure.

She saw Yusuke walking in a yellow sweatshirt with torns ripped in it with a pair of blue jeans, his face scratched with cuts and bruises. Next to him was Kuwabara in his regular light blue jumpsuit, and a shorter guy, about five foot tall, wearing a black shirt and pants, and his hair was black which stuck up in many spikes. There was a boy of about the age of fifteen walking with them. His hair, a deep red, touched to the middle of his back. He wore a reddish jumpsuit with black rubber shoes.

"Yusuke!" Keiko called out to him, immediately getting up and jumping into his arms. "I missed you, Yusuke... you keep worrying me."

He smiled lightly, holding her in his arms. "Sorry, Keiko..." he apologized laughing lightly.

Minako walked over and looked to the group. Glancing to the shorter man and the one in the red jumpsuit, she chuckles quietly and asks, "And who might you two be?"

The red head smiled to her gently, his green eyes brightening. "My name is Kurama." Minako's eyes widened to his response. Kurama looked down to the short demon to his side, awaiting his introduction.

He just glanced up to Minako's face. "Hn." He slipped his eyes off her and looked elsewhere without the slightest reply. Kurama shrugged lightly and looked back to Minako.

"He is Hiei... and as you can see, he's not so very friendly." Kurama smiles back to Hiei.

Hiei narrowed his eyes to Kurama in a cold stare. Minako leaned down and started repetitively poking Hiei in the forehead while looking at him with a blank look on her face. "What are you doing...?"

"You're so... short. I rarely see boys short like you. Most of the ones I know are taller than me." Minako seized from the poking and smiled brightly to him and giggled. Hiei just gave her a deranged look and glanced aside. She sighed as she stood up straight and looked to Kurama. ~Youko Kurama...? That is Youko...? He looks nothing like the one I saw in my dream. But Keiko said he was reincarnated into a human, so maybe this really IS him.~ Kurama noticed her starring at him and blinked a few times before replying.

"Is there something wrong?"

Minako snapped out of her gaze once she heard his voice. "Erm... well, no. Nothing's wrong."

"Alright." Kurama flashed a cute smile before walking over to the rest of the group. Minako felt her face burn lightly. She took her hand and placed it on the side of her face and realized that she was blushing.

~He's too kind to be Youko... but I think this is him. Youko in my dreams was so firm and heartless, although Kurama is so gentle and nice. This is too weird.~ She looked to where Keiko was and saw her talking with Yusuke. Slumping down back on the bench, she thought of how much she wanted to go over and ask if that really was Youko Kurama. ~Not now.~ she thought. ~Now's not a good time.~

Kurama shuffled over to the bench Minako was sat down at and sat next to her. A sigh escaped his lips as he looked up to the sky to see that had already become dark. He whisps a lock of hair over his shoulder as he looks to Minako. "Are you cold any?"

"Not really... I'll live." Minako wrapped her arms around herself because she had been wearing short sleeves and a shiver went down her back. She looked at a streetlight in the distance and saw her breath once she had exhaled. She really was cold. Even her eyes began to ache. Not only was she cold, but she was tired. After yawning lightly, she placed her head on Kurama's shoulder without even realizing it. "By the way... I'm Minako. Minako Fuyuno." She closed her eyes and went to sleep.

Kurama noticed her head on his shoulder and smiled. ~Minako...~ He looked to her face carefully and the golden strands of hair that hung in her face and over her shoulders. "You... remind me of someone I used to know... a long time ago." He whispered lightly.

An hour or so later, Minako awoken and opened her eyes to see Kurama tucking her into her bed. "Huh... what the..." Once her sight focused, she jumped up surprised. "What are you doing here?"

Kurama glanced up to her. "I'm sorry... I awoke you."

"How did you know where I live...?" ~And most importantly, why'd you carry me here?~

"I believe it was your friend Keiko who gave me the directions to your house. I carried you all the way from the park."

Minako blushed and Kurama obviously noticed it. "Y-you didn't have to do that! I've never had boys doing things like this for me..." She rubbed the back of her head embarrassed. "Never..."

"I suppose you can say that one has now, am I correct?" Kurama closed his eyes and flashed his cute smile once again.

"I... guess..." Minako muttered as she pulled the sheets halfway over her face to hide her blush. "By the way, there's something I've been wanting to talk to you about, but... I don't think now would be an exactly good time."

"Alright then. We will see each other sometime soon to discuss what it is you need to talk to me about. But for now, you need your rest." Kurama got up and walked to the door and turned out the lights. "Good night." He closed the door before Minako could say another word. She lied back in her bed, bringing a teddy bear close to her, and stared at the ceiling and thought for a while until she went to sleep.
