A young girl with honey-colored eyes and short, dark brown hair, ran toward a boy. He was tall, well built, had black hair with a slightly green tint in the front, and deep brown eyes that mostly showed coldness. He was wearing a green uniform and he had his hands stuffed in his pockets.
"Yuusuke!" She called out. Yuusuke turned around and smiled slightly.
"Hey, Keiko." He greeted her in his usual tone. She walked along side him for a while in silence. She had been doing that lately, he noticed. Just walking with him. No words.
"Yuusuke, are you going to show up for class tomorrow?" She asked, keeping her gaze on the ground.
"Why should I?" He asked coldly. That was usually the question that got them into fights. "Those teachers hate my guts, not to mention the students are afraid of me." His eyes narrowed. "I couldn't care less." Keiko looked up at him sadly.
"You know the teachers only want to help you." She said, staring into his eyes. "And so does--"
"Keiko, not to hurt your feelings or anything, but no one cares about me. I'm just trouble. Someone with no feelings." He glared hardly at the ground. "I have ears, I can hear what they say about me." Keiko backed up a step.
"I care about you, Yuusuke." She said softly. "You're my friend and always have been. I only want to help you." He looked at her then heard someone's large mouth. He knew who it was. Kuwabara. He was really tall, had red- orange hair, and small black-brown eyes. His gang trailed behind him.
"Hey, Urameshi." He said with a smirk. "Wanna fight? I'm gonna--" He stopped when he saw Keiko standing there. "Oh, hey Keiko." She looked at him and offered him a small smile before looking at Yuusuke.
"I'll come over later, Yuusuke. We really need to finish this conversation." She said turning around and starting to leave.
"I won't be home and you know it, Keiko." He said. She stopped and turned around.
"You will." She said before turning and running home.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
The demon woke up and blinked. He was in a considerable amount of pain from his wounds. His eyes searched for something he could use to help with the bleeding. His ears twitched. He heard running water. He smirked. 'Too bad I can't walk.' He thought. He grasped the top of the rock he was hiding near and pulled himself up. He felt a wave of dizziness hit him. He stood there for a minute, getting used to the position. He took a step forward. Then another. He started walking, leaning against trees to try and get to the stream. Then he tripped and fell forward, down a small hill. With a splash, he landed in the water. He shakily stood up and cursed. He started tending to his wounds.
An hour later he was still sitting there, making makeshift bandages out of his clothes. He had ripped the entire top of his outfit off and successfully bandaged his wounds. He pulled the knot of one of the bandages tight and looked down. He didn't look too muscular but, in truth, he was very strong. He did look well-built. He got up, feeling a little better since his bleeding slowed down. He stumbled back to his hiding place and sighed. How in the world was he supposed to keep this up? He had to get to his partner. He had to bury him out of respect and loyalty. He fell asleep, wishing this would all be a nightmare.
Waking up to shouts and cries of 'thief' isn't what he wanted. He pressed himself back in his little crevice and watched as shadows went by. He didn't see what they were chasing. Whoever it was, they must've lost them. He leaned back and closed his eyes, his ears perked up.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
For once, the whisper was quiet. The girl sat, dipping her feet into the water. She slowly smiled. She felt another presence and reached out to them with her mind. She could feel their worry and stress and pain. She spoke soft words into the emptiness of the cave.
"You are in pain." She whispered. "You are wounded." She lifted her hand and pressed it against the stone wall that was keeping her in. "I will ease your pain. Relax." Her musical voice was not heard to the demon, who was outside. She closed her eyes and concentrated on the wall. Her mind reached out and her strange power reached the demon. He relaxed and his pain was relieved in his sleep. She sensed a deep sadness as well. She eased his mind and heart of emotional stress.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
The demon woke up, his pain missing for some odd reason. His burden was lightened. He got up and blinked, no dizziness. He started racing through the trees toward his partner. He slowed to a stop and kneeled next to his feathered partner.
"Kuronue.." He whispered. He found a suitable spot that wasn't covered in blood and started digging. Despite the fact that some of his pain came back. He was determined to bury his friend. He dragged his dead partner over to the hole and, as gently as he could, placed him inside. He then pushed the dirt back over and hid it as best as he could, marking it with a large stone. He then engraved his friend's name and put the date on which he was born then when he had died. "Rest in peace, my friend."
He sat at the grave and didn't even realize the sun was setting. He was saying his silent prayers and last words to his friend. He then looked up and realized it was almost dark. He gave one last look at the grave then left. He would go back to that place and he knew it. Tears fell from his golden eyes. His emotional wound was too deep to be healed by time. He would only miss Kuronue more as each day passed. He heard wolves howling at the full moon. His ears twitched and he sniffed at the air. Hunters. He ran back to his crevice and pushed himself inside.
"It's that kitsune. I know it."
"It can't be, sir. He had black hair that stood up and he had a third eye. He was all dressed in black." A teenaged girl said with a frown.
"Damn these demons to hell!" The man shouted. "Especially that Youko Kurama. He has raided our villages too much."
"But he hasn't in a while." The girl argued. Youko wanted to rip that man's heart out and throw it over the cliff that wasn't too far away. He growled. That man was one of the hunters that had killed his friend. Their voices faded off and Youko was finally able to sleep. His pain seemed lightened when he came here. He figured that it had to do with the strange power he sensed in the cave. He wondered why it was blocked if it gave him so much comfort. His suspicions grew when he thought about it. Finally, he dismissed all thought and went to sleep.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
The young girl felt tears slide down her pale cheeks. Her company outside of the cave was grieving. Why? She didn't know. She felt that he was in great pain. The whisper had come back when he had left. She remembered what it had said.
He is feeling great pain. For the loss of his friend. You will never feel that.
She frowned. Her voice had left her.
The whisper was back now, even though he was outside. He was asleep.
He is pained even more now. He buried his friend..
She covered her ears. She was crying now. She wanted friends. She wanted to feel what it was like to love another. She thought about all the whisper told her over the years. She had learned about what she never would see. She knew the whisper was fate. Her bright amethyst eyes made her tears look like sparkling gems. That whisper had to be fate. She never felt so alone in all her time here, which was forever. She bent down and placed her hand in the water. She was wise and powerful, meant to live forever in this cave.
You will always be alone..
The whisper was taunting her, laughing at her. She clutched the silky cloth of her kimono. She took a deep breath and tried to stop her crying. She lowered her eyes to the water in the cave. She never had anything. She never knew friendship. She never knew company. Her heart held a special longing. She wanted to know her purpose. She was born to this cave and sealed there. By who? Fate. She also held a longing to see another, to speak with them. To not be alone.
Always alone..
She closed her eyes and rested her head against the stone wall behind her. There was nothing to do in here. She wanted her life to slowly end. She wanted to slip away. All she ever did was cry. Cry and wish that someone would release her so she could live.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Youko woke up and blinked, the sunlight blinding him. He checked his bandages. He needed to make a trip to the stream. He got up and felt a dizzy spell hit him. Then, as quickly as it came, it was gone. He shrugged and started walking with the support of trees. He slowed down near the hill and eased himself down it. Taking his bandages off, he cleaned them then layed them on a rock and bathed. He then wrapped his bandages back around his wounds. He knotted each securely so they couldn't slip off.
"Please let this be over soon." He muttered under his breath as he trudged back up the hill. He tripped and nearly slid down the hill, if not for a root that he latched onto. Cursing everything, he pulled himself up. He watched carefully where he walked and leaned on trees once in a while to catch his breath.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Yuusuke Urameshi sighed. He was listening to Keiko drone on and on. He yawned and drifted into a dreamland of his own.
"Yuusuke!" Keiko hissed. "You're not even listening to me. How am I supposed to teach you anything when you don't even pay attention?" His eyes snapped open and he glared at her.
"Did I ask you to teach me?" His brown eyes flashed angerly. He had been really edgy lately. He was often snappy too. She wondered what got into him.
"No, but you have to learn these things for the test!" She said with a sigh. He got up, his chair falling backwards.
"Who said I want to take the test? I don't want to. I don't see the difference in not taking it and taking it. If I don't want to do it, then I'll make myself fail!" He shouted. His eyes blazed like they never have before. She backed up, fear in her honey-colored eyes. He immediately snapped out of it and frowned, looking away from her. "Just go home, Keiko." His voice was low. She stared at him. She had never seen him like that before. She picked her purse up and fought the urge to cry. Then, without looking back, she left. Yuusuke looked at the table and noticed that the notes she did for him were sitting there. He had all week to study for it.. He shook his head and went to bed.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Keiko walked to school a few days later. She wanted so badly to walk with Yuusuke, instead of by herself. She never seen him that angry before. What had gotten into him? She sighed and forced her mind to concentrate on something else.
"Keiko!" A girl shouted from up ahead. She looked up and frowned. Aiko was waving to her, standing next to Seiko. Seiko had books in her arms and was smiling happily.
"Hi." Keiko forced a smile and listened to the two girls chatter. She didn't mind them, in fact she loved her friends. They were always there for her and they stood up for her. Of course, that never needed to happen this year.
"Hey girls." Keiko heard a familiar voice. Yuusuke. They gasped and tried to get as far away from him as possible. "Keiko, I wanted to talk to you." She smiled at him. He instantly gave her that half-smile of his.
"Okay. Are you coming to class today?" He held up a folded wad of papers.
"I guess." She stole the papers from him and glanced at what was written on the first page. She stopped walking completely.
"Yuusuke.." He stopped and turned around. She smiled and hugged him. He stiffened then patted her back awkwardly.
"Yeah, I figured I might as well give it a try." When she let go of him, her face was red in embarrassment. "I've been really edgy lately and.. well.. I was avoiding you so I wouldn't hurt you." She smiled slightly and took his arm. Her friends walked behind them in shock.
"I'm so happy that you decided to come to class. The teacher has been giving us notes for the test. I have something for you." She pulled a notebook and a pen out of her bookbag and handed them to him. "I was going to write the notes over so that you had them in case you wanted to take the test."
"Thanks, Keiko." He scratched his head and thought about it. "I dunno what inspired me to try.. but y'know.." She smiled at him and walked through the gates. He stopped and looked around at the boys that were staring at him in wide-eyed horror. Keiko stopped and turned around.
"Aren't you coming, Yuusuke?" He looked over at her then sighed and walked slightly behind her. "Is there something wrong?" She noticed that he was looking around him as if something was wrong. She suddenly became aware of people staring at them.
"No, I just.. thought I heard something." He glared at the people around him and walked to his homeroom. He sat down next to Keiko and closed his eyes. He could feel something. Almost sense something different in the air. Something bad was going to happen. He knew it.

What's gonna happen? Hmm..
