"SO where exactly are we going?" Kimura asked pushing away at the leaves in
front of her. "To the temple. Perhaps there is something there that will
get your memory back." Kurama said. "Maybe....." Kimura responded. Ryu pulled
off his jacket leaving his chest bare. He rummaged through his jacket
pocket and pulled out a cigarette and a lighter. "Its hot as hell in
October here." He said lighting his cigarette.
"You guys are lucky. You could take off your shirts." Kimura said rolling her eyes. "No one's protesting against you taking off your shirt." Ryu responded. Kurama rolled his eyes. "pig." Kimura responded. "Goody, goody." Ryu replied. "Idiot." "Shitty excuse for a demon." "Shitty excuse for a living creature!" "Watch your step." "WHAT!?" Kimura screamed as she tripped over something sticking out of the ground. "What the hell!?" Kimura screamed out loud. Ryu started to laugh. "It wasn't that funny." Kimura said. "Considering you used to trip over that same tree rout when you were a demon...yeah it was." Ryu replied. "What?" Kimura and Kurama asked in unison. "You always tripped over that thing. There was this one time you actually got so pissed, you started slashing at it. Look the tree still has scars from that." Ryu said pointing at the rout. Kimura looked down. There were scratch marks in it. "I.....i don't remember." Kimura said. Ryu sighed. "Come on! We have been at this for eight hours. You are telling me that you don't remember anything?" Ryu asked aggravated. "No.....I have never been here!" Kimura yelled. Ryu grabbed Kimura by the arms very tightly, and brought her close to him. "Yes you have!" Ryu screamed. Ready with his rose whip, but stopped himself. There was a strange look in Kimura's she be remembering something?
"It was you!" Kimura screamed. "What?" Ryu asked with an aggravated chuckle. Kimura raised her hand, and slapped Ryu across the face as hard as she could, sending him face first into the ground. Kurama tried to hold back a laugh, but couldn't help it. "What- the hell- was that for!?" Ryu asked getting to his knees. "It was in my dream. Someone yelled at me and slapped me across the face. That hurt! It was you! You slapped me! And you gave me the book! And ran for my dear life!" Kimura said. "Yes and...!!??" Ryu asked eagerly. ".....and......then I woke up...that was the end of my dream...but I figured out that you slapped me! You idiot! What was that for?" Kimura asked. Ryu looked up at Kurama, then back at Kimura. "Nothing important now." Ryu replied. He got up, and went ahead, looking around.
"I guess we could camp here for the night." Ryu said sitting down putting his jacket back on. "Ill go get some wood for a fire." Kurama said. He walked away, picking up twigs he found on the ground. Ryu reached into his pocket and pulled out his lighter, putting it on a rock next to him as he sat down. He stretched out across the ground, resting his head a log. "Welcome to your life for as many days as it takes." Ryu said. Kimura frowned. "I'll go help Kurama." Kimura said. "Ok, don't get lost." Ryu said. Kimura picked up Hiei's katana, and walked deeper into the forest. She looked up at the trees in amazement. "Woe, these trees are so tall." Kimura said looking up. Something glimmering in evening sunlight caught her attention. It was way up high on one of the branches of a tree. "what.....is that?" Kimura asked. Kimura leaned the katana against the tree, and started to climb the branches. Finally, about fifty feet from the ground, Kimura reached what was a necklace, hanging one of the branches above her. Kimura watching it dangle. "Wow.....its beautiful." She said. It was a silver pendant, with a red stone in the middle. Kimura reached out to touch it. Just as she did, she started to feel odd and dizzy. Kimura started to black out, just as she felt herself falling.
"Oh man.....He will be so disappointed if he finds out I lost mine. Stupid Ryu, It's all his fault."
Kimura awoke to the night sky above her and a splitting headache. "Finally your awake!" Ryu said walking over to her. "What the hell were you doing up in a tree?" He asked. "What?" Kimura asked sitting up. "I caught you before you could hit the ground.....why did you jump?" Ryu asked. "I didn't jump.....i blacked out.....i think......i could hardly remember." Kimura said. Just them, Kimura remembered the strangest dream. "It was raining out and it was night time. I was looking for something, and couldn't find it.....i blamed it on Ryu." Kimura said aloud. Ryu and Kurama looked at each other. "You remembered this?" Kurama asked. "Yes.....well.....i had it in a dream." Kimura said. "At least we are getting somewhere." Ryu said. "Anything else?" Kurama asked. "No." Kimura said shaking her head."
Kimura couldn't fall back to sleep. She knew she had a flash back because of the pendant she found "The pendant.....its still there." Kimura whispered to herself. After reassuring herself that everyone was asleep, Kimura quietly reached into her bag, and pulled out a flashlight. She walked deeper into the forest, shining the light on the trees, looking for the spot. When she saw the glimmer of the silver from the pendant, she climbed the tree once more. Kimura hesitated in grabbing the necklace. If she fell again, no one would be there to catch her. Kimura took her flashlight, and knocked it off the branch, causing it to drop to the ground. She climbed back down the tree.
Kimura found it laying on the ground. She picked it up, and looked at it. She carefully put it around her neck, tucking it under her shirt, and headed back to camp.
"Here Kurounue, take this." "What is it?" "I made it out of silver and rubies I took from that temple. It will give you good luck. I have one too see. As long as we both wear it we will be protected by the other person, through spirit." "Wow.....and your giving this to me? What about..." "nah he doesn't need one, he's got you." (Laughter)
Kimura opened her eyes. The sun was already up, and Ryu and Kurama were all set to go. "Who's Kurounue?" Kimura asked sitting up. Ryu looked at Kurama who went pale at the moment. "She's all yours, I gotta piss." Ryu said slapping Kurama on the back and walking away.
"Kurounue was my partner.....he was like a brother to you.....Koraseru." Kurama said. "What did you see?" Kurama asked. Kimura took the pendant off, and handed it to Kurama. "I found this high up on the tree branch.. This is what I was looking for, and I lost it.....i guess I found it now huh?" Kimura said. "Maybe if I meet him, I will remember even more." Kimura said. Kurama stood up. "Yeah.....maybe." "Ok, lets go we are half way there." Ryu said coming back.
"You guys are lucky. You could take off your shirts." Kimura said rolling her eyes. "No one's protesting against you taking off your shirt." Ryu responded. Kurama rolled his eyes. "pig." Kimura responded. "Goody, goody." Ryu replied. "Idiot." "Shitty excuse for a demon." "Shitty excuse for a living creature!" "Watch your step." "WHAT!?"
