A/N: italics- Syd's dream

Chapter 2

...1 am...

Syd woke up crying. Kurama thought he had heard her scream when he woke up. She probably did.

"Kurama..." Syd said quietly.

"What?" Kurama said. He noticed that she was crying even if she was doing her best to hide the fact. He pulled her closer to him and held her. "What's wrong?" he asked quietly as he stroaked Syd's hair. "And, please, don't say it's nothing because I know that nothing won't make you cry."

"It was my dream again." Syd said. She layed her head on his shoulder. "It really scared me this time..."

Kurama didn't really want to press the subject, but he wanted to know why Syd wasn't always acting like the Syd he had fallen in love with. "Do you want to talk about it?'' he asked.

Syd hesitated. Did she want to talk about it? She knew that it might make her feel better, but it could also make her feel worse. She wasn't exactly happy because she knew Kurama was worried about her and she didn't want that.

Kurama gentley kissed her forhead. "You don't have to if you don't want to." he said quietly.

"Will you promise me that you won't tell anyone?" Syd asked, shifting so that she could look Kurama in the eye. He nodded. And with that Syd told him about her dream.

There were two rings of fire. One surrounded Syd and Kurama; (ooh semi-colin) the other Kori and Hiei. Kurama was on the ground and from what Syd could see, so was Hiei. Syd couldn't tell what was happening in the other ring, but she could see that Kori and another guy were standing near the center. In her ring, Syd was kneeling by the flames next to Kurama's fallen form. A man was standing in the center of the ring, watching Syd try to talk to Kurama but always get no answer.

"He's dead, my dear." the man told her.

Syd looked up. "Who the fuck do you think you are?"

The man walked closer to Syd. "I am your worst nightmare." the man stated. (i couldn't resist) Syd glared daggers at him as he walked closer. She couldn't see what the man looked like but she knew she hated him.

"It's all right, Syd." Kurama told Syd soothingly as he rubbed her back. They were laying down and Syd was crying into Kurama's chest. She shook her head in disagreement. "Shh...Syd, I want you to look at me." Syd did as he asked and looked at him. He wiped some of the tears from her eyes. "I won't let that happen." he assured her.

Syd knew he was trying to make her fell better, but she also knew that he wasn't sure he would be able to prevent it. She humored him by nodding. Kurama knew she was just humoring him but he didn't say anything. 'I hate seeing her like this.' Kurama thought as he stared blankly at the ceiling. Syd had stopped crying and was just laying there with her head on his chest. After a while the both fell asleep.

...7 am...

Syd was still asleep when the alarm went off. Kurama decided to let her sleep, as it would be the first time she had slept in a week and a day. The redhead went downstairs to try and find something to eat (sounds like they need to go grocery shopping). He found Kori sitting at the kitchen table and Hiei in the window.

"Hello, Kori, Hiei." Kurama said, a little suprised.

Kori looked at him. "Is Syd up?" she asked. Kurama shook his head. "OK."

"Is something wrong?" Kurama asked.

"No, I just wanted to talk to her about something, but if she's not awake, I guess I can't do that." Kori said.

Kurama forgot about breakfast. "Are you having nightmares, too?"

Kori didn't answer, so Kurama looked at Hiei, who nodded. They sat in silence for a while.

Syd came into the kitchen after crashing into a wall. "Owww...Oh hey all." she said. "I think I may have injured the wall."

Kurama just shoook his head as Syd sat next to him. "You're up earlier than usual without the alarm." Syd shrugged as Botan and Tarro entered the room.

"I have officially graduated to ferry boy." Tarro announced. He didn't sound too happy.

"What's up with you blue?" Syd asked using her nickname for Tarro.

"The idea that I be called a 'ferry girl' was tossed around." Tarro said. With the look she gave him, Syd obviously didn't beleive him. "All right, all right!" he said. "I know that something is wrong here and I'm not happy about who it concerns."

"So, Koenma told you?" Syd asked, her voice holding no emotion. Tarro nodded. "There really isn't anything that can be done about it." the green haired girl stated. Everyone looked at her. "What?"

"How can you say that?" Tarro asked. Syd's only answer was a shrug. "SYD!"

"WHAT?" Syd said loudly, obviously annoyed.

"I asked you a question." Tarro said. Everyone else watched the two friends.

"And my answer was a shrug." Syd stated.

"And I want a better answer than that!''

"Well, what f I don't have one?"

"Then I'll ask a different question: What is wring with you?"

Syd just stood up and left without answering. Tarro was going to follow, but Kurama didn't let him.

"Just let her calm down." the redhead advised. "She doesn't want to talk right now and if you bug her she'll only flip."

"How do you know?" Tarro asked.

"I learned the hard way." Kurama answered. They heard the door slam open then slam shut.

"I just hope she's gonna be OK." Tarro stated.

"Don't we all..." Kori said.

syd: ok. how was that?

yusuke: horrible and short

syd: i know it's short and i wasn't asking you

yusuke: doesn't mean i can't answer

syd: --
