Ixi: Hiya peoples!

Kurama: Well aren't you just full of pep today?

Houdini: FRED!!

Ixi: Yeah, we're getting nowhere so Kurama take it away

Kurama: The crazy psycho doesn't own Yu Yu Hakusho, however, Ixi, Kira, Inyurro, and Rya do belong to her, Kira is used with permission by Inuyasha's-Sweetheart, and Mika belongs to Pikabloo12

Ixi: Right-o then on to the story! Hey wait, I'm not crazy psycho!

Chapter 4 Dream

Kira bared her fangs, still searching for the owner of the voice. "Show yourself coward!" She yelled out, a low growl shook the earth on which they stood. "Coward am I Akira, daughter of Rya, Great Shadow Ninetail of the Black Forest!" A gigantic double-headed black wolf like creature appeared from nowhere, white fangs glistening in the light. "A DEMI-CERBERUS!" Ixi cried as she intensified the flames around her neck, tails and on her feet. "Yoko, coward! How dare you hide in your pathetic nigen body while I await to kill you!" Again with Yoko, he's not here, Yoko's not even alive! Kira thought as she transformed into her human form. "Delusional beast! Fight someone of the living instead of hunting after the dead!" Kira glanced over at her sister Ixi who had just shouted out. She had transformed into her human form as well and had her katana out, ready for an attack. "How dare you wench!" The demi-cerberus cried as it turned to face her. "I, the great Hato, lord to all wolves in the northern mountains, a delusional beast!" Hato bellowed. "Well that explains why all the okami in the northern mountains died out." Ixi muttered as she began to spin fire around her katana blade.

"How dare you! You shall pay!" Hato cried as her charged towards Ixi. Ixi dodged with a graceful jump finished with a perfect landing on the two- headed wolf's back. "Cash or Credit?" Ixi taunted as she let her blade (which I might add is starting to melt slightly from the heat) skim the top of Hato's fur. He howled in pain and began a bucking routine to get Ixi off him. "Now Yin!" Ixi cried as she jumped off the enraged demi-cerberus. "Right." Kira mumbled as her sai appeared in each hand. Kira charged the creature and in a flying leap, she came down on it, ramming the sai into one of its two skulls. The two-headed wolf shrieked in agony as it flung Kira off with a violent shake of its head. Kira went flying, but was stopped from crashing into the ground by two strong arms. "You want me vermin!? Or is it your death you seek!?" Kira froze at the sound of the voice. Yoko, no . . .it can't be . . .can it? As Kira looked up, her green eyes met with the angry golden amber ones of Yoko Kurama. "Kira? Are you okay?" Yoko asked worriedly. The concern in his voice made Kira's heart skip a beat. Completely dumbfounded Kira could only nodded slightly.

Gently sitting Kira down Yoko took a fighting stance as the injured and enraged beast charged forward. Well lets just say the demi-cerberus died a horrible and extremely painful (I didn't know plants could do that! O.O) death, er . . . yeah, we'll leave it at that much (ouch, you know that hurt) er . . . right. (I think even Mika was a little shocked at that. Mika: Yeah, I won't be going near a greenhouse for a while) Unfortunately Hato was able to get in one hit before he died, and Yoko was bleeding badly on his side. Kira was still in her daze, but she saw what happened next with a great amount of detail. Silver hair became a red, amber eye green, fox ears human ones. Clutching his side Kurama (Suichi form) fell to the ground in pain. "Kurama!" Hiei yelled as he quickly ran over to his fallen friend. "I'll be okay Hiei." Kurama whispered out. Ixi had also rushed over and with the help of Hiei, she got Kurama into the house and into a spare bedroom. "I'll go get bandages for him, see what you can do right now for him Hiei." Ixi said as she darted out of the room and towards the bathroom. Moments later, Mika walked into the room carrying Kira, who had passed out.

As soon as Ixi returned with the bandages the room was full of movement and tensions. Kira was only slightly banged up and Mika took care of those scrapes, Kurama on the other hand was loosing blood fast through the wound on his side. As Ixi began to bandage the bloody area she stopped and ran a finger through the blood. She held the finger up to her face and watched it glisten in the light. "Those claws were poisonous." Ixi said after barely a second of examining the blood. "What kind and what effects does it have?" Hiei asked, watching Ixi with curiosity. "Nothing fatal or even life threatening really, but it will slow the healing process. It appears to be a basic herbal based poison, maybe poison hemlock, kalmia, jimson weed or something similar. Nothing major." (Please note I am not a botanist, I looked up posonous plants in a CD encyclopedia and used some of the names under my search. So if some of these are dangerous then I am sorry.) Ixi quickly finished bandaging Kurama and picked up the remains of the first- aid kit. "Someone should keep him warm though, his temperature is likely to drop and someone laying next to him would be the best thing to keep him warm." (Seriously, do you know how many movies/TV shows I've seen this in?) "Kira should do it." Inyurro said as he walked into the room. "Why do you think so?" Mika asked.

"Couple reasons. Reason number one: is she once was in love with the guy, so he already knows her. Reason two: I don't see anyone else volunteering to do it. Reason three: I could get some blackmailing pictures from this. Reason four: She is already unconscious and won't be stubborn about it." Inyurro finished with a smirk. "Okay, you get to put her in the bed then." Ixi said as she strolled out the room followed closely by Mika and Hiei, which left Inyurro by himself. Quicker then you would have thought Inyurro had Kira gently tucked next to Kurama in the cutest hug he could put them in. Smiling like a devil Inyurro pulled out his ever-present camera and snapped a picture seconds before he sprinted out the room.

A couple hours later, Kira's green eyes gently fluttered open. A soft beat of a heart was caught by Kira's keen sense of hearing and she quickly turned her head to see a gentle sleeping Kurama. Before she caught herself she took her hand and gently caressed Kurama's cheek. He's so cold . . . Were Kira's thoughts as she quickly pulled back her hand. Kira sighed knowing why she was lying next to the injured boy and she immediately closed her eyes again. "Kira?" Came Kurama's weak voice, making Kira reopen her eyes. "What?" She asked while trying to ignore him. "I'm not asking you to forgive me, or even care I exist, but will you let me explain?" Kurama shifted uncomfortably as Kira turned around to face him. "No. Explain later, sleep now." With that Kira turned back over and forced her eyes shut. Kurama sighed and shifted to a more comfortable position. For a couple minutes he watched her sleep peacefully before he himself felt the calls of sleep draw him into the land of dreams.

The Dream

Kurama sat up and looked around at the silvery mist that had engulfed him. "Well this wasn't what I expected my dream to be." Kurama mumbled as he stood up and continued to survey his surroundings. As Kurama's green eyes penetrated the mist he thought he saw movement. Not wanting to scare whatever moved, Kurama stood perfectly still and watched the area that had moved. A sudden melodious cry emitted from the haze and Kurama was shocked to see silvery wolves and foxes dancing with the mist, disappearing and reappearing with each movement. The cry soon turned from howl to an almost laughter like yipping, all the while Kurama was enchanted by their movement. Then the most beautiful lupine voice joined the song. Kurama turned for the voice arose from behind him. Black fire dazzled at the feet of the fox, causing the silver mist to cast flashes and gleams of the original flame.

Kurama watched the black Ninetails advance towards him completely frozen. All around Kurama the dream began to fade silver turned to black and the lupine creatures turned to shadow monsters. Kurama found himself surrounded in a dream in which he could not escape. The black ninetail's eyes began to glow red as the one regal creature transformed to a monster-like state. "No, no, no please Rya don't let yourself transform! Fight it!" Kurama cried finding he was once again able to move.



Kurama shot up and wildly looked around while breathing hard in a cold sweat. "Kurama?" Kira sleepily said as her green eyes opened to the commotion he was making. Trying to calm down, Kurama attempted to slow his breathing. Kurama's vision was slightly blurry, but he thought it was only a side effect of the poison still running through his veins. "Kurama?" Kira asked again putting her hand on his shoulder. Kurama slumped back into the bed gazing to the ceiling with cloudy vision. "Kurama, what's wrong? Are you okay?" As Kira looked worriedly to her former friend she saw him shiver slightly, but it wasn't from cold. He must have had a nightmare or something. "I'll be fine Kira." Kurama said while relaxing into the layers of sheets the bed possessed. Kira watched him fall to sleep with little worry on his face and she too snuggled deep into the covers. It had gotten extremely chilly for some reason. Kurama . . . will I ever be able to forgive you? . . . or myself?

Meanwhile with Ixi, Inyurro, Hiei and Mika

(Poke) "Hey" (poke) "Hey" (poke) "Hey" (poke) "Hey." "Will you stop it?" Hiei muttered as Ixi kept poking his shoulder. Ixi smiled like a devil. (Poke) (Poke) (Poke) (Poke) (Poke) Now she was poking his forehead. (Ya know, right where his Jagan is.) Hiei quickly grabbed her hand and began to crush it under the pressure of his fist. "OW!" Ixi screamed and Hiei's hand lit on fire. Fortunately the fire department didn't have to come to put the resulting fires out. Mika rolled her eyes and dragged Ixi away from Hiei. "Hey pyro psycho, where's the sai you promised me?" The neko asked while watching Hiei out of the corner of her eye. "Sai? What sai?" Ixi asked confused. "She might mean this sai." Inyurro said holding up a rusty hunk of metal that was in the form of the three-pronged weapon. "Ooooooooh, that sai!" Ixi said with a sheepish grin on her face. "I musta thrown it at some flutterby or something once I got it." "That would explain why I found it in a field of butterflies." Inyurro said while throwing the hunk of metal up and down. "Flutterby?" Hiei asked in a tone that said he was almost scared to know the answer. "Butterfly, Ixi hates um, goes psycho and has to kill anyone she sees. VERY long story." Mika said while snatching the remains of the sai from Inyurro. "Hey!" He cried reaching for it, but was successfully stopped by Mika's hand on his forehead.

Ixi laughed at him tauntingly and next thing you know, the two kitsunes are playing a dangerous version of tag all throughout the house. Mika sighed as she watched them dart out the room in pursuit of each other. She examined the hunk of metal, and laughing, dropped on the coffee table behind the couch. "You know, for some reason I didn't think I would get the sai anyway."

Without them knowing, cerulean eyes watched the house, a cunning smile on the owner's face. "Three little kitsune youkai, a fire youkai, neko youkai, and a former youko, what a sweet prize just waiting to be had." The cunning smile enlarged as the owner jumped out of the tree she had been watching from and ran at high speeds to the forested area near the house. "What a nice little prize it shall be."

Ixi: Yeah, yeah. Done for Ch. 4

Kurama: When are you going to let us go?
