Neoki: okay people I am back with another story. Only I have a problem with what warnings to put in this one. It's Kurama/Kuronue and I'll give you the details later. Soooo…. Read it and review it pplz!

Kuronue: so it's me times Kurama this round. Correct? If so am I allowed to drink?

Neoki: ya if it floats your boat

"Kuronue!" youko Kurama reached out ready to run to his friend and save him from the bamboo cage. Everything had been going perfect until the bamboo traps had been sprung, then Kurama and Kuronue's heist had gone to hell.

" No Kurama! Forget about me and run! RUN AND SURVIVE!" Kuronue looked at Kurama pain in his face, and smiled sadly. Kuronue pulled his pendant on around his neck, looked directly into Kurama's eyes, and whispered softly "run…"

Kurama, thousand year youko and thief extraordinaire, a kleptomaniac in all sense of the word allowed a single tear to fall down his porcelain face and with out another word ran as fast as his feet would take him. Away from the forest, away from the blood of his friend and when youko made it to his den he could run no more. Kurama fell to his knees on the cold cave floor, staining his silvery robes with mud and moldy slime.

"Kuronue…." And with that Kurama began to cry….

Kurama woke up in a cold sweat. Even though it was warm in his room his body was shivering and trembling like there was no tomorrow. Ever since the incident were one of Raiko's men took Kuronue's shape Kurama had had that nightmare… Kurama shivered involuntarily and pulled the blankets up above his head. He still felt so guilty about Kuronue's death; like in a way it was his entire fault. And this time the dream felt… different. Like by hook or by crook it was trying to tell him something! Something important was about to occur, this night held much more than anyone could consider. Tonight something amazing was to happen! Kurama felt sure of it.

This was a sign of something great. This time it was so much more than just a nightmare this was a signal. Momentous things were awaiting Kurama in the morning. However I think we should allow some time to pass for the Kurama to sleep. Yes, let us leave the Kurama to sleep. Goodnight to the Kurama kitsune, rest for as long as you can. After all the Kurama will need his energy for what is about to befall him. Let us say goodnight to the Kurama; let him fall victim to the sand man, we here need not tell the Kurama about the intriguing events soon to occur. Slumber well Kurama kitsune, for in the morning a magical thing awaits. The Kurama is about to make the discovery that great thieves always think alike. When the thieves in question were partners, then it is no question that their thoughts would be similar. A few blocks away another thief was awake and covered in cold sweat….

Neoki: so review and I will write more. Tell me how it is and a will stop the wistful ramblings and I will stop calling him "the Kurama" Review or I will silence your lamb! I will do it!

Kuronue: don't mind her she is on sugar high. And I am drunk as a kilt!
