A/n: Well, I didn't expect to have people go and tell me that the suffix "-kun" was used incorrectly. I used it for a certain reason. I wanted to put a certain familiarity and friendship between Kagome and Kurama. Plus, not many boys say "-chan", mostly "-san". And, as Skittles are Good said, "-Kun: this suffix is used at the end of boys' names to express familiarity or endearment. It also sometimes used by men amongst friends, or when addressing someone younger or of a lower station." It may have been used for boys; but when Skittles are Good mention "it is also sometimes used by men amongst friends", that's what I mean by familiarity and friendship. So, that's my point exactly.

Also, I thank you for reviewing.

Last Time:

"That's okay Shuu- I mean, Kurama-kun," She smiled brightly at me. I swore that my heart skipped a couple of beats, as I saw her smile at me. "Well, Kurama-kun, how about tomorrow I'll bring you both over to meet my gang."

This Time:

It was dark at the Minamino Residence. Kurama was caught sitting at his desk with a dim light shining at the center of his desk. He took out a sketchbook someone had bought him. Kurama was never really an artist, but he did have some talents in it. He always had an urge to draw out his feelings. The drawings looked like crap, but everyone envied the fact he could draw.

He opened to the middle of the sketchbook and flipped over to some of the pages before it, not wanting to waste paper. He stopped flipping over the pages to the next blank one.

He reached over to where his lead pencil lied and began sketching. All he sketched about was what he can remember; for now, the dream.

The sounds of the pencil's lead colliding the paper were the only thing heard throughout the room. After he was done, he closed the book, satisfied. Placing it inside the drawer of his desk, Kurama closed the drawer and lied on his bed.

His eyes were slowly closing to the point he was in a deep sleep.

KURAMA'S DREAM

It was as if I was back at the forest before. I couldn't help but shudder. Not only that, I could practically hear the song "Whisper" by Evanescence play in my head.

I heard a twig snap, and I quickly turned.

To my surprise, it was the same girl. Her eyes were barely open, as she plummeted to the ground. I froze hearing a vague voice, "Must I fall for everything? Must every promise break?"

"Iie," I replied. "You could always trust me." My eyes widened, as I saw the girl try to run. She kept stumbling, stumbling every time, every effort-wasted.

I had to help her. The urge, the deep feeling, the sympathy and pity. I walked over to her and held her to her feet.

The girl's face turned to look over at me. Those eyes… "I'll always trust you. I promise to always trust you." I could feel her soft lips pressed against mine. I shut my eyes for a second and…

END OF DREAM

Kurama woke up to the little ray of sunlight. He stood up and smiled to himself. Today would be a great day to see Kagome, he guessed. After all, they both were going to see each other at school. She did call earlier after school to mention that.

FLASHBACK

At 6 o'clock at night, the telephone rang. "Shuuichi-dear, could you please answer the phone! I'm kind of busy!" shouted Shiori, Kurama's mother. That may not be correct, since Shiori is Shuuichi's mother.

"Hai, okaa-san!" replied Kurama, as he took the cordless phone from the corner of his desk. He pressed the button "PHONE" to answer it. "Moshi, moshi, Minamino Residence. May I know who this is?"

"Konnichiwa, Shu-… Kurama-kun. I'm sorry, I'm just not use to calling you Kurama. I hope you don't find that offensive." It was Kagome. She sounded quite embarrassed, especially by the background he heard.

And, by background, he heard, "Who are you talking to, Kagome? That good for nothing boyfriend of yours?" And, "Oh my gosh! Give me the phone! I want to say 'Hi' to Shuuichi-kun!" It really hurts to be beautiful, talented, and intelligent, but he didn't mean to brag because it's all true.

"Well, how about you and your friend meet me at school tomorrow? So, we'll be able to get easier contact with each other, okay?"

Kurama chuckled lightly, not meaning to offend Kagome. "Why not? I think it is best to, since your friends are over." There were a few second pauses. With a "bye" and a "see you tomorrow", Kurama pressed the off button and laid the phone to the charger.

END OF FLASHBACK

Kurama was now walking to school. His attire had changed tremendously. His pinkish-purple uniform had turned into those traditional emerald shirts with gold lacing the rims and golden dragons printed on the bottom. He wore lighter shade of jeans, not like those Sean Johns you see a lot of guys wear.

He entered the school grounds. The students always stared at him for some reason. It was as if they were expecting something spectacular from him.

"Shuuichi-kun!" shouted Kagome, as she waved for him to come.

Kurama walked casually towards Kagome. He could hear the murmurs the students gave off. Though what really disturbed him was that that they referred to Kagome as the "Diseased Girl". He could hear one girl whisper, "I hope Kagome isn't going to ask Shuuichi out, because she's going to get him all infected. Plus, she sure can be a bitch." The other girls had agreed.

He walked in front of the group of girls, leaving Kagome puzzled. "It's not good to talk about people like that, Liya-san."

The girl, Liya, looked all red. "What are you talking about, Shuuichi-kun?"

Kurama looked at her sternly. The fact that she was trying to get herself out of this predicament did not amuse him. "You know what I mean." He walked towards Kagome and smiled at her.

"Gomen, gomen, Kagome-kun," apologized Kurama. "I had to deal with something really quick."

Kagome smiled. "It's alright, Shu-Kurama-kun. Ack! I still can't get it right!"

Kurama laughed a bit at Kagome's silliness. "Just call me Shuuichi when you're at school or anywhere with people that know me, and you can call me Kurama anytime. Will that be a bit too hard for you?"

Kagome made a little "hmph!" and said, "Just because I mess up a lot of times trying to say your name doesn't mean I can't remember that."

"Okay, what do you call me right now?" asked Kurama.

"Uhm… Kurama?"

Kurama laughed a bit more, as he walked into the classroom. Kagome followed him behind. "That's not funny!" exclaimed Kagome.

----

The day at school ended. There was a new rumor up. If you guessed, it was that Kurama and Kagome is a couple. Also, they could be the contestants of thecutest couple for the yearbook.

"That sure was eventful," said a blushing Kagome, as she carried a few books. Kurama and Kagome were walking to Kurama's house.

"I agree." He couldn't believe it. His whole day was just plainly flustering. First was science, where everyone made him sit next to Kagome for his lab partner. Second was P.E., where all the guys were seeing whose penis is bigger at the locker room. Third was history, where everyone made him sit next to Kagome again. They threw paper airplanes at them which wrote "S & K 4EVER". Then, for fourth was math, the math teacher didn't even care that everyone was tormenting him and Kagome. For fifth which was Elective, the guys in his class teased him constantly. It had really got annoying. Plus, the teacher was in on this. In sixth, it was the worse. As class ended, the guys acted like little kids chanting, "Kagome and Shuuichisitting in a tree F-U-C-K-I-N-G".

"Kurama-kun?" asked Kagome.

"Yes, Kagome-kun," replied Kurama, though he seemed a little out of it.

"You look all red, almost the color of your hair."

Kurama seemed a lot more flustered than he was now. "I-it's nothing, Kagome-kun. I was just thinking about what occurred today in school."

Kagome nodded in agreement. It seemed as though there was nothing to really talk about. "So…" Kagome began, not really knowing what to say.

"Hm…?"

Kagome shook her head. "Never mind. It's nothing."

Kurama opened his mouth to say something but could not find a voice for it. "Ka…"

"Kurama-kun, it's strange. I've been having these weird dreams." Kagome had saved them from the silence. She is a great hero.

"Can you describe what occurs in your dreams?"

Kagome looked all fidgety, playing with her school skirt. "Well, you see, there was this one dream. I felt like I was dying. I was standing in one spot. And, I was hurting really bad, and I said, "Must I fall for everything? Must every promise break?" Afterwards, I heard a voice said no and that I could always trust him. Is that normal?"

Kurama's eyes widened for a second. "Well, all dreams are strange, Kagome-kun."

Kagome seemed a little comforted, though not as much. "You know, that guy in my dream reminded me of someone."

"Who do you think that someone is?" asked Kurama. All those dreams he had, they were with Kagome. He felt stunned, not completely. He never really thought of Kagome that way, but he knew there were possibilities. The fact that she was able to maintain her grades and still go to the Feudal Era, the ability to just go through time, and the fact she had turn from naïve to somewhat a bit opposite, maturing more. The fact, she is really nice, sweet, kind, and caring. Well, those were positive reasons to like her.

Some negatives would be that she dresses up in those skirts and dresses that show off her legs a lot, she must be proud of her legs. The fact that she isn't trained well and she can switch emotions in a rapid procedure. She gets angered easily, and that's pretty much it.

"I think it's you, Kurama." Kurama stayed silent, as he heard those words come out of her mouth. It was obvious to him, but he didn't think it'd be that obvious to her. He didn't want anyone to fall for him, but he felt himself falling for her.

"Why do you think that?"

Kagome shrugged a bit. "I just do." There was a pause. "Let's forget about this, okay?" Kurama nodded. It'd be best. He had many enemies in the Ningenkai and Makai. He did not want to bring anymore people pain, especially that one memory back in the Dark Tournament.

"Alright."

Kagome and Kurama had gone to Kurama's house to get a few clothes and needed appliances. Afterwards, they had reached to the Higurashi shrine where Hiei awaited them.

"What kept you both?" asked Hiei, clearly annoyed.

"Gomen nasai, Hiei-kun," said Kurama. "We had to pick up a few things from my house. Also, you know that we have school."

Hiei's oh-so-common reply, "Hn."

"Let's get going, then!" exclaimed Kagome. She was about to go to the well shed but stopped. She pirouetted to look at Kurama and Hiei. "After, we get my bag!" She ran into her house.
