Dreams

Darkness covered the land in a shroud of blackness. The lightness land was more ominous then ever. This was because of the looming presence of Lord Karuru. Demon and human alike were finding it hard to keep those terrible thoughts of hopelessness out of their worried minds. One such person was Kurama. For the longest time his dreams have had a big impact on what happened. He seemed to sleep peacefully but on the inside a storm was raging. Over in the corner of the room Kurama's friend Kuronue kept a watchful eye on him.

The kitsune twisted and turned in his sleep as he started to live out his dream. The land around him looked lifeless. On the ground he could see small puddles of blood. Kurama bent down to see if it was fresh, and to his amazement it was. This sent Kurama into a worry attack. He then feared for his mother's life. Being human he knew she couldn't stop any demon who attempted to cut her head right off.

Kurama rushed off in the direction of the blood trail. He soon found the last thing he wanted to see. His mother's near lifeless body sprawled out on the floor. His eyes shook with shock as he rushed over to her side. He picked her up and placed her upper body on his legs. " Mother… oh please mother… Don't leave me…."

Shiori let out a small moan as she opened her eyes a little bit. " Shuichi… my boy… I'm sorry."

Kurama took his mother's hand in his own and let the tears fall from his face. " Mother… this isn't your fault… it's mine.. I should have protected you. What right do I have to call myself your son?"

" Shuichi.. you have never let me down…. Don't doubt yourself…. Remember…. I love you…. I will always…." Shiori raised her other hand and grasped his face. " Stay firm….." As those words exited her mouth, he bloody hand fell to the floor and her body didn't move any longer.

Kurama's heart broke as his eyes looked upon his mother. " No…. MOTHER!" He shouted as hot tears splattered everywhere. He placed his head on his chest and let out long sobs. ' I'm sorry… This shouldn't have happened…. You don't deserve to die…'

If this wasn't enough Kurama's nightmare was not over. On the ground around him, Kurama noticed some black and white gems. The kitsune's mind started to race as he rushed off to find out what was going on. He soon found the cause. Kurama spotted Hiei standing in front of his sister with his blade unsheathed. Red blood dripped from the blade. Many gems were scattered around the area of the two demons. " Hiei!" Kurama shouted as he approached. " What did you do!"

Hiei turned his tear stricken face toward his best friend. " Kurama….I… i… killed her…. I killed my sister."

" I can see that… but why Hiei…"

" She was crazy. Yukina was possessed… I couldn't stop her. My Jagan was useless against her. I had no choice. I had to kill my sister who I vowed to protect." Three more black gems joined the clear ones on the ground. The fire apparition dropped his bloody sword and shook in shock. " What have I done!"

Kurama came closer to Hiei. " Hiei… I know what it feels like…. Just take it easy… This will pass…"

" Shut up!"

" Hiei… this is Karuru's doing… he wants to do this… he wants to weaken us all. Don't let him get to you…" However the wise kitsune's words didn't reach his friend. Hiei was totally paralyzed with grief and shock. Kurama's nightmare was still far from over. He just wanted to wake up but he was unable to. It started to rain, however it was not water coming down from the sky.. it was actually blood. Kurama was soon covered in it. Karuru appeared in front of the shocked fox.

" Yoko Kurama isn't it…. A shame you didn't join me… Maybe you wouldn't have to go through this pain. You see what I'm capable of doing and not even with preparations, you have no chance."

" That's what you think… With this knowledge I will stop you… none of this will happen… WE will stop you…. Mark my words you cad."

Kuronue was startled as he heard Kurama muttering in his sleep. He rushed over to him as he saw him shaking and screaming as in for his life. Kuronue shook Kurama. " Wake up!"

Kurama jumped as he was brought back to reality. " Oh god…"

Kuronue stared at his friend with a look of concern. " Kurama, everything okay?"

" No… no everything is not okay… we gotta hurry.. everyone is going to die…"

" Another dream…"

" Yes… it felt so real… Kuronue we have to hurry…"

" We will, we will.. but not right now.. you are shaking like a leaf." Kurama looked down at his body and he noticed he was indeed trembling. Kuronue gave him something to drink to try to calm his nerves. " Take this.. it will help you relax…" Within a moment of when the liquid touched his lips… Kurama was instantly relaxed and fell back asleep.

Meanwhile Sakura was having a pleasant dream of her own. She was standing in a field full of flowers. They were an assortment of colors and species. Sakura bent down and sniffed them. " They are so lovely… I wish everywhere could be like this…"

Just then she heard a rustling noise. She spun around and saw a youthful Raizen standing there. He didn't look as though he had been starving himself for years or anything, he looked very well fit. Her eyes sparkled as she lied her eyes on him. " Lord Raizen!" She shouted. She rushed over to him and hugged him tightly. Sakura let out tears of joy and sadness. " I missed you so much…"

Raizen smiled. " I missed you too Sakura."

" They say you're coming back… is that true."

" Yusuke is indeed working on it…. He knows how you feel Sakura and he'd do anything in his power to make you happy again. If you want me to return so badly.. I will not disappoint, besides it is important in order for us to defeat Karuru."

" Is it true that if you back, you will only suffer?"

" Sakura, the only reason I became weak was because I didn't want to eat another human again. However if what my son says is true, I can indeed have evil ones and not have to give up on my feeding. So that way I can not eat some and then have one."

" That's great news… I would be lost without you…." Sakura only hugged him tighter.

" You are a brave girl Sakura. I'm very proud of you… let that power grow and soon, you'll be able to join us… I know you have it in you my child… Take care." Raizen carefully took Sakura off of him and he started to walk off.

Sakura started to cry some more. " Don't leave!"

Yusuke looked down at Sakura as she muttered, ' Don't leave…' He whipped the tears from her face. " He'll be back Sakura, We will bring Raizen back…."

To be continued…

Alright yeah I know, the plot really didn't go anywhere with this chapter. I wanted to write a chapter about dreams again. I hope you all enjoyed it. I'll try to get into the rebirth of Raizen next chapter. Please review. Till next time.
