Kurama woke with a cry. He sat up and jumped out bed, breathing hard. He felt like he had just run a marathon. His heart was pounding in his chest and he sat back on his bed.
It had been a dream. Just a dream. A dream about Hiei.
He had been running alongside Hiei, running away from a thunder cloud. Hiei had been blurring from tree to tree and Kurama had been running on the ground.
The thunderhead had gained and he had turned his head just to see a tornado come upon them. He had thrown himself on the grown, but had failed to notice Hiei above him.
Hiei had been ripped from the branch and had gotten sucked up into the tornado, screaming. Kurama could only watch in horror as his friend was blown away with the storm.
Kurama sighed, trying to calm his heart. He could see Hiei's terrified face when he closed his eyes. He shook his head and walked to his closet. The day had started, and he had to go to Koenmas'.
It had stopped snowing, and the sind had stopped blowing, so Kurama only put on a light jacket. He opened the door to the outside and closed it carefully, because his mother was still sleeping.
He trudged through the fallen snow towards the portal to the demon world.
He dropped into the demon realm warily, ready to defend himself, but there didn't seem to be anyone there. He started jogging towards the reikai prince's temple.
When he got there he headed straight to his office. He wanted to talk to the prince about Hiei. What else? His pace quickened as he neared the office.
Kita walked slowly through the makai forest. She was a wolf demon, born and raised in the makai.
Right now, she was in her demon form, thinking as she walked. Her amber hair shown in the warm sun, and her bright blue eyes stared out from her rather pointy face like headlights.
Her modest 5'5 barely made her level with the first branch on the tree that she was aiming to climb ahead of her.
Her 6 inch dagger hung from her blue obi around her waist. It matched her eyes perfectly. Not that she cared.
Her navy skirt whipped around her legs as she jumped up into the tree. She climbed up a couple of branches and sat with her back against the trunk.
Her navy shirt, lined with yellow went out over her shoulders, forming a straight line above her shoulders. She closed her eyes, and tried to think. A most peculiar thing had happened that morning….
Kita had been walking under a big oak tree when she had felt a chill go down her spine. She stopped moving and listened, in case it was some rogue demon, waiting to ambush her.
She didn't hear anything, or feel anything, so she had kept going. But before she was out from under the tree, it happened again.
She looked up into the tree, trying to see what was doing it. She hopped up onto the first branch and looked around.
One of her abilities, which was unknown to her at the time and still was, was that she could see ghosts. She had never seen one before or at least known what she was looking at.
She hopped up to the second branch and almost fell out of it. She had landed on a demon! She jumped off of him and moved away, on his branch.
One of his eyes opened, showing a glaring red orb. She stared back at him, defiantly. That was when she noticed his form. His skin was white and misty, like he wasn't real.
The urge to touch him and find out if he was solid grew as she looked him over. His black pants were faintly glowing like a …. ghost.
She looked from his feet to his bare chest, which looked like carved marble. He stared at her, his eyes growing larger as he realized that she could see him.
She raised he head to look at his face. New thoughts were forming in her head, and they weren't very defiant.
She couldn't help but think that he was handsome, with his gorgeous face and his stone chiseled chest.
He sat up and she jumped. He moved very slowly as if willing her to not see him. When it didn't work, he stood, and was gone in a blur. She cried out.
She looked down thinking that he had had jumped down, but he wasn't there. There were no signs that he had ever been there. She frowned and then slowly made her way down from the tree. Maybe he had been a ghost…
