Note:::: &&& different scenes or times

There in the doorway stood a tall, somewhat slender woman with her hair pulled back and big beautiful eyes surveying the damage. Slowly the figure stepped away from the bright sunlight. Her light red hair shinning brightly.
"You know you can run pretty darn good whenever your in a hurry. I had a hard time finding you. Maybe next time we should swap addresses or something. You know so we don't have such a hard time finding each other." Robyn glanced up and stared at the cold eyes before her. "Or not, your decision."
Kurama sighed and turned out of the room. Right now he had no patience for the annoying girl. After all his mother was gone.
Robyn's purple eyes stared at the retreating figure. "I'm sorry about your mom really! Maybe we can work together and get both her and Kanna back." Robyn dropped to her knees and slowly began to pick up the broken pieces of glass.
How it hurt her to see someone so sad. The green eyes that she had just looked into had shocked her so much. They looked to much like Kanna's. Like they were slowly dieing. Like the soul within was gone. No warmth whatsoever.
Robyn grabbed a bigger piece of the vase and sighed mournfully. Why was it that every second the pit within her grew bigger. It was as though her soul knew that trouble was in store. Was it really true? Had her time come to protect everyone? Was this really the time that she had heard from elders. The most dreaded time of all?
Shaking her head Robyn grabbed another piece. But there was so much that she had yet done. If it was truly time then this could be her last few days.
What about skydiving? Robyn had wanted to do it so badly.
'Wake up. You cannot afford to daydream now. Now is the time that your inner strength will be tested.' Mentally Robyn slapped herself. There was so much more at stake then her fun. How could she worry about something so meager.
&&&
An impatient man stamped his foot in annoyance. Who much longer till his message was heeded. Yes he had changed the playing field now. No longer was he the pawn to be used then discarded.
'Maybe another disaster is needed.'
Smiling he nodded to himself. Fine if they wanted to play hard ball he could too. After all the world was at stake what was a few ningen lives.
&&&
Kanna pulled her up her legs resting her forehead on her knees again. Was anyone going to help her?
Sneaking another peek at the unconscious woman Kanna shuddered lightly. What was with Japan and the high power that radiated from people. Was it in their water?
What did everyone have planned for her? For this simple ningen? Sobs racked her body as she pulled her arms around her legs. Hugging tightly she allowed her tears to flow freely.
Quietly, almost silently, she started to sing the only song she could think of.
(A/n- song lyrics are in the /blah/ Think of it as a background singing type of thing.)
/I'm so tired of being here. Suppressed by all my childish fears. And if you have to leave I wish that you would just leave. Cause your presence still lingers here./
Kanna's rich voice seemed to echo as she scooted towards the unconscious form. Even though she did not know the woman. Something deep within her heart told her it was ok. That she would be safe. Safe from the impending danger.
/And it won't leave me alone. These wounds won't seem to heal. This pain is just too real. There's just too much that time can not erase./
For some reason this song always struck Kanna's heart. In some ways it felt as tough it was written for her. It was the way that she felt deep within her heart.
Within her mind horrible images played themselves out. Every thought worse then the last. All were of every single thing that could happen to her. Unluckily, for her none of them were good so far.
Hugging her legs closer she softly cried as she thought of her mother. What would she do if she were to lose another child.
The words of the song lost on her tongue but still going within heart and soul.
/ When you cried I'd wipe away all of your tears. When you'd scream I'd fight away all of your fears. And I held your hand through all of these years. But you still have all of me./
&&&
Robyn picked up the last piece of glass. 'What to do with the pieces now.' Shrugging she threw it in a potted plant. Dusting off her hands she realized that that had been pointless. Oh well, life just was not supposed to make sense.
Purple eyes traveled to a overstuffed green armchair. There sat a depressed fox. Plopping herself upon the hall floor she silently observed the out doors. How peaceful it looked out there. Oh how she wished that the piece would feel the same within these doors.
Closing her eyes, Robyn could almost hear Kanna's sweet voice singing. On days this nice she used to sing. But that was before...before that fateful day.
/You used to captivate me by your resonating light. Now I'm bound by the life you left behind. Your face it haunts my once pleasant dreams. Your voice it chased away all the sanity in me./
&&&
/These wounds won't seem to heal. This pain is just too real. There's just too much that time can not erase./
Koenma just finished explaining all about what had happened during the last two weeks.
Yusuke hung his head. So much to deal with and such little time.
'Poor Kanna, no wonder why she was so fearful. So wanted.'
All Yusuke could do was nod his head. He had now become brain dead. For words could no longer be processed.
/When you cried I'd wipe away all of your tears. When you'd scream I'd fight away all of your fears. And I held your hand through all of these years. But you still have all of me./
&&&
/I've tried so hard to tell myself that you're gone. But though you're still with me. I've been alone all along/
Kurama sat in the overstuffed chair unmoving as he stared ahead. He was lost deep within his head, within his thoughts. Oh how he wished that this was a dream. A bad nightmare. How he longed to wake up in his bed. To be able to go into the next room and watch his mother sleep peacefully.
/When you cried I'd wipe away all of your tears. When you'd scream I'd fight away all of your fears. I held your hand through all of these years. But you still have all of me./
But no, that would never happen. At least not for a while.
Gold streaks pulsed within his eyes as he stared ahead. No, he would get revenge. Not for Kanna, everyone else could handle that. But for his mother. The person would pay. Pay by the spilling of blood.
An evil, almost cold, grin came to Kurama's face as he stared ahead. Yes Youko would have his wish. And Kurama would relish in it.
&&&
So how horrible was it. I'm totally brain dead lately. Think of this as a filler till more comes to me. Sorry for the awfulness of it. But I'm really really brain dead right now. Plus waking up at 4:30 in the mornin isn't helpin any. But think of it as a tellin of things to come...
