Hope you like this chapter. Sorry if it is a little short.

Sigh, why can't all boys be cute and mysterious like anime guys? It's just not fair. Everyone in agreement? Say, hell ya!

Chapter 2

Kurama had been meditating peacefully on his bed that night, when all of a sudden a strange white light flashed before his mind. It was gone within a millisecond and everything was normal. He looked up curiously, though his eyes were narrowed in suspicion.

"Strange," he thought out loud in his calm voice.

He closed his eyes, attempting to go back into his trance, when he found he just couldn't concentrate. His thoughts kept returning to the strange dreams he'd been having. In it he'd been fighting a monster, a monster with an unbearable amount of energy; a kind of energy he had never encountered before. It wouldn't have been anything out of the ordinary had it not been that Kurama couldn't identify any of his teammates. Visions were no stranger to Kurama, he'd been having them ever since he was Yoko Kurama. Sometime after the Dark Tournament, after he'd completely merged with Yoko, he began to receive visions of the future and future events on a nightly basis. But lately….the visions had been a little stranger.

For one, even though he couldn't see his teammates' faces, he somehow knew they weren't his friends of the present. At first he thought them to be memories, not visions, but after awhile the visions became bolder, as if trying to tell him more than a few important details.

Kurama lay back and threw an arm lazily over his eyes, attemping to relax his body enough to drift into sleep. His body began to sink into darkness, when all of a sudden a peculiar voice suddenly sounded in his head. "You have been chosen." The voice was so soft at first Kurama had trouble distinguishing what it said.

Kurama sat up in bed, automatically sensing the pure energy beginning to stream into his room. He began to growl and reached behind his head for his patented Rose Whip, when the energy began to dissipate, leaving behind a beautiful tenshi. Kurama immediately felt at peace, feeling the purity and goodness of his visitor. He dropped his guard, replaced the seed, and dropped his arm, waiting patiently for the entity to fully appear. And when she did, boy was he surprised. Standing there in his doorway was the most beautiful woman he'd ever seen. And she looked….familiar for some reason.

Kurama's mouth dropped open in shock as the woman stepped forward smiling a wide, peaceful smile. He couldn't help but be in awe of thie exotic woman.

Kurama knew he was gaping, and that was when he sensed it the energy surrounding the strange entity. "You're a miko," he gasped before the woman could speak.

The woman smiled as if amused and stepped towards him, letting him see what she truly looked like. She was wearing strange old-fashioned clothes, with a quiver of arrows and a bow on her back. She also carried a long sword attached at her hip. Her upper arms were adorned with armored plates and her chest was protected by a strange black and gold chest plate. The woman was clearly a warrior and a powerful one at that. Her eyes were only too telling as they seemed to stare right into his soul.

"That's right, Kurama. I knew you were smart!" She exclaimed. "That was one of the reasons I picked you." The woman stopped her talking and held a finger to her chin thoughtfully. "Yes, you and the Saiyan will become great friends."

Saiyan; what was a Saiyan? Wait, she knew his name? And why did her face strike a chord of deja vu?

"Do I know you?" Kurama asked. "Have we met in the past?"

"No, we have never met, though I have no doubt that in all your years, you've probably heard of me," the woman spoke kindly. "You are quite old."

"So, who are you and why are you here?" Kurama asked calmly. "Is there a reason why you've sought me out, in the middle of the night, and in my bedroom no less?" He could feel no animosity from this woman and so he had no trouble teasing her.

The woman had the decency to look a little sheepish before she shot him a half-heated glare. "Hey, highly important characters such as myself have a very short time limit. We also don't just go around showing ourselves to everyone, you know. You should feel honored."

Kurama chuckled slightly, this was becoming quite entertaining. The kitsune in him had become intrigued the moment she set foot in his room. He'd already figured out that she was a miko, and if his mind served him correctly, she had also appeared a few times in his recent dreams.

"My apologies then," Kurama hid a smirk behind a yawn.

"It is quite all right, and to answer your question, Kurama, yes there is a reason, a very important one, for seeking you out." The woman went on to explain everything she'd told Gohan, about a new rising enemy and about his teammates. When she was finished Kurama couldn't help but feel a strong clash of emotions; curiosity, pride that he'd been chosen, worry over his future and the lives of his friends now and in the future.

Kurama began to carefully relay everything she'd explained, turning over all the details, the good and the bad. His kitsune sensors were jumping at the chance to get out and go on an adventure; however the rational side of his brain was telling him to proceed with caution. "Of course you realize that it will be quite dangerous and life altering for you," the woman explained gently. "But should you choose to accept what you have been called up for, a whole new world will open up for you."

"A few questions if I may miss," Kurama began. The woman nodded. "You mentioned a word earlier, a Saiyan. And also, how long do I have to decide?"

"Well to answer your second question, you have two days to decide. As to what a Saiyan is….well, if you choose to accept the mission, you will find out in time."

Kurama nodded, but frowned at the vague response. "Well, I really must be getting on my way, Kurama, unless you have any more questions." The woman said.

"No, and thank you, it is a great honor that I have been chosen for such a task, and I will promise you that I will think my decision over quite clearly over the nest couple of days."

"You have nothing to thank me for, Kurama, it is because of your accomplishments and your purity of heart and soul that lead me to you," the woman said gently. "You would be a fine asset to the others. I will see you in two days. If you choose to accept your mission, you must meet at the Higurashi Shrine at midnight. Your teammates will be waiting."

Kurama nodded and watched as she disappeared once again into nothingness, leaving him alone with his thoughts.

Once she was gone, Kurama leaned back against his head board, a thoughtful expression on his face. Should I go? He asked himself. After going over all the details yet another time, he finally came back with a decision.

Kurama slept that night with a strange, peaceful look upon his face. He would meet the others in two nights.

Well, what do you ya'll think? I know it was short but sorry the next couple of chapters are going to be like this just so I can get them introduced. Oh, yeah and to all those who are guessing about my story, since a lot of you assumed who Gohan would be paired with, I'm considering changing the pairing. One thing, though, it will not be Sango. I wasn't planning on having many other people except the main people and maybe some more from DBZ, but Gohan will not be paired with Sango. And if anyone wants to suggest any other pairings besies Yukina, I will gladly look over it and consider who I want Gohan to be with. Perhaps I should just create a new charater. Anyway, please please please review! Sorry it took me so long, but I swear I'm back now and all of you will be happy!!!!
