The True World.
Chapter 4
Visions and Run Ins
By: ShadowsOfTheHeart.

After I passed out I found myself in darkness. But it soon shifted and changed into a field like landscape. The grass was green, the air was clean, and I have never breathed air this fresh or clean before. But yet, it all feels so familiar, like I have been here before, or live here before.

I walked through the grassy filed, letting the wind blow though my hair, and letting the sent of fresh flowers fill my lungs. The sky was an amazing blue color, untended, just pure blue like you would never seen on earth.

As I walked I came across a small village, circular huts out lined the village. But it was different its residents had wings, they looked like fairies and they were beautiful creatures. They where happy, peaceful even. But I was not scared, or even weird out one bit, to me it seem normal some how.

A fairy child landed at my feet and held out a red rose to me. I smiled and took it. As I did the land changed and I soon found myself back in the field. But no longer was the grass green or the air clean. All I could bee was blood splatters and the smell of rotting corps, and suit from fires.

Tears came to my eyes as I as watch what looked to be humans fighting the fairies and other creatures. I also saw a warrior in the battle trying to stop it, but they also turned on her. She had long dark brown hair that was in a single braid down her back that reached the ground. She was very beautiful; her armor was of a reddish black color and fitted her like a glove.

I also saw two more warriors fighting for peace. A girl of blue hair and silver armor, and a girl of brown hair and sapphire blue armor. They soon stood together and they looked to be talking. Soon they rose their weapons above their heads and a great light appear, in a flash everything was gone. All that was left was the smell of blood, and the darken land.

Again the land changed and I found myself at another blood socken land. But this was not a field; I was standing outside a temple of some sort, in the middle of a forest. The warriors form before where here, and they look to be fighting a man with long silver hair, gold eyes and silver fox like ears.

The silver haired fox man killed the blue hair warrior with a single flick of his wrist. The brown hair warrior screamed at him and shot a wavy of pure blue water at him, hitting him in the shoulder, he dropped something. He swore, and then killed her in a flash.

All that was left was the beautiful dark brown hair warrior. She darted for the object the fax man dropped, but he got their before her, he attack her with his whip. It looked like she was going fall but rolled and through something at him that pierced his heart. He fell and with a ball of light he was gone.

Again the scene changed and I found myself inside the temple, a trail of blood on the floor. It led to the last warrior. She was knelt in front of an altar type thing. I walked over to her as I did I could hear what she said "Reborn me in the Ningenkai, and seal the barrier between the Makai and the Ningenkai." She then placed a purple jewel on the altar.

She then pulled out her sword and plunged it in the stone floor and said "Seal this place, so no-one will steal the Emeian again" What that said; she fell backwards on the floor. I caught a look of her face and I went pale. But before I got a better look a reddish black light surrounded her, and she was gone.

It was only for a second that I say her face, but I swear she looked like me.

"Do you think she'll be ok? She has been out for the passed 2 hours." asked Yusuke. Keiko had gone home an hour ago, alone with Kuwabara and Botan. Hiei was over in the window not paying mind to anyone.

"I don't know, I think that last attack took a lot out of her." Kurama said with concern, as he changed the wash cloth on Emily's forehead.

"This is your fault Hiei, you should have been careful when you attack the barrier." Hissed Yusuke

Hiei glared at him and said in a cold voice "How was I suppose to know the onna would pass out?"

"Because she already did!" spat Yusuke. "You got Keiko worried sick!" he added getting angry.

"Hn" was all Hiei said as he turned his head back to look out the window.

Yusuke pointed his Rei gun at him, and as he was about to fire, Kurama jumped up and gave him and look that read not in my house! Yusuke got the hint and lowered his Rei gun and plopped down on the floor cross lagged.

"That girl looked like me, but it could be? Could it.?" I said in shock to myself asIstill stood in the temple with the purple joule and the blood stained floor. I turned to the sword. It was a beautiful sword, it has a sapphire blue haut, and in the center of the haut was a reddish black joule, the blade looked to be of pure silver, and ever with the blood stains on it, it was beautiful. On the blade was writing, in some language that I couldn't understand yet I could read. I reach out to the sword and as I would about to touch the haut, something cold and wet was placed on my head.

The world around me was gone, and light appeared around me taking me back to my world.

"ARR" I winged as I sat up and looked around. I was still in red's living room.

"Your finally awake, thank heavens." A kind familiar voice said.

"I passed out again?" I asked in a weak voice, I again looked in his eyes, I saw no gold but there was something telling me he was not to be trusted.

Just then Yusuke walked in, and when he realized I was awake he ran over to me and yelled "ABOUT TIME! KEIKO IS WORRY SICK!"

I glared at him "DON'T YELL AT ME I HAVE A HEADACK!" I then smacked him in the back of the head.

Red shook his head "Let me get something for your head." He then got up and left me with the punk and the scary dress wearing guy. Great I'm going to die young.

"So do you remember anything before you passed out?" Yusuke asked me, there was something behind his voice. What? I don't really know.

I though about it for a minute then said "Just the pain, and fire,"

Yusuke nodded his head then said "What do you think caused it?"

I shrugged and said "Your guess is as good as mine."

Red soon returned and handed my some kind of chucky looking water. I raised an eye brow at him as if to say what the hell is this!

He gave me a reassuring smile. I shrugged and took the water chuck and looked at him. "It's for your head." He said with that same reassuring smile. I smell it didn't smell bad or poisoned. I shrugged again and took a swig. It was…. Good, I then gulped it down, and handed the glass back to him.

All the time I was doing this Hiei was giving me weird looks, I don't know way he just was.

"How's your head now?" Red asked a bit smug.

"Fine, what was the stuff?" I asked wanting to know.

"Just something I learned a long time ago." He said with a smirk.

That smirk, my head went fuzzy as I was thrown back to the bloody forest outside the temple. There the silver fox stood smirking at the warriors, while he tossed the purple jewel up and down. Just as the vision came to me it was gone.

I was back on Red's couch, he was giving me a concern look "Are you ok, you went pale for a second, then you spaced out. Did your chest hurt again?"

"No..no, I'm fine, I just.. I don't know,.." I stumbled over my words; I didn't know what to say. Was Red here the silver fox man in my dream and vision, or maybe he just has the same kind of smirk. Damn… I don't know..

"Maybe you should lay down again" He said in a soft concern voice. They couldn't be the same, Red was nice the silver fox man was ruthless. But that smirk, and the feeling I get form him. It doesn't make sense.

"No I'm fine; I should get home now my mom will get worried. And my dad will kill me if I'm not home for supper." I said as I got up to leave. "Thanks for taking care of me Red" I added as I was leaving. I could see his left eye twitch; I'm guessing he doesn't like the nick name I gave him.

I didn't get to far when I notice red beside me. "I can walk you home, you might get sick again."

"Sweet, but I'm fine." I answered as I looked for my sneakers, when I notice I still had them on. I sighed and mentally slapped myself.

"Are you sure?" He asked again. Man he doesn't know when to give up.

"I'm sure" I stated as I opened the door to leave.

"I'll walk with her; I have to get home myself." Yusuke said as he caught the door and followed me out.

I shrugged and stared to walk out the walk way with Yusuke in tow. Red stood in the door way and watch us lave; I swear I head him sigh.

We walked in silence for the fist 10 minutes until Yusuke spoke up. "Listen I'm sorry for calling you crazy yesterday."

I looked at him and blinked, and after a second or two I laughed.

Yusuke gave me a confused look. I smiled at him well more like smirked and said "No need to, I am crazy you know."

Yusuke shook his head then said "Well then I take it back."

I skipped ahead a bit then turned around to face him. "It was sweet though." I turned back around and continued to walk. Again there was silence for about 5 minute when Yusuke spoke again.

"Why did you suddenly space out when you where talking to Kur… I mean Suichi?"

I raised an eye brow; he just stumbled over Red's name strange. Oh well, they probably have nick names for each other or something.

"What do you mean?" I asked trying to avoid the question.

"You know what I mean" He replied in a huff.

I sighed and said "I don't know, when I saw him smirk I had sort of had a vision, I saw a man with silver hair and fox like ears, and he was smirking at these three girls, and he held a purple jewel in his hand." Yusuke stopped, when I notice he wasn't following me I turned around and saw that his face was pale and he was deep in though.

"Are you ok?" I asked a bit concern and wired out.

Yusuke snapped back to realty and said "I'm find, did you say a man with silver hair and fox ears?"

I shook my head "Why?" I asked.

Yusuke smiled have ran up to me "Oh nothing, lets get you home." "Before something else happens."

Hiei smirked, he had been following the two and he heard what Emily had said. "I know who she is now, and why I couldn't get into her head." He though to himself as he ran back to Kurama's house.

In a flash he was in Kurama's living room. The red head smiled at his friend and said "Did they get home safe?"

Hiei rolled his eyes and said "Half way, but I heard something that you would like to hear"

Kurama closed his book and sat up straight.

Hiei took his seat at the window and said "The girl Emily said she had a vision of a silver hair man with fox ears, and he was holding a purple joule, he was also smirking at three girls." Hiei turned and look at Kurama. "What do you find odd about that?"

Kurama sat their in shock; she couldn't be talking about him. "I don't' recall anything like that. It could have been another Fox demon?"

Hiei shrugged then said "I also can't get into her head; no human could block my japan"

Kurama sat there in thought "She couldn't be the Hogo of the Makai could she?"

Hiei shrugged and said "There is a why to find out, we can take her to a barrier and see what happens"

Kurama glared at Hiei "No, she my not be human but she still has no knowledge of the Makai or its dangers. She also has no training."

"Hn"

I know her form some where; I felt it when we first met, when I touch her hand to help her up. It was like we did meet in a passed life. But why don't I have any knowledge of it? Kurama thought as he reopened his book.

"This is my house" I chirped as I ran to the door "See yea later Yusuke, and tell Keiko I'm fine when you sees her again!"

Yusuke nodded and walked down the rode to his house, or what ever he lived in.

I walked into my house, and waited for my mother to yell at me for not being in on time. As sure enough I wasn't in the door 2 minutes when the yelling started.

"EMILY-ANN WLASH, WHY ARE YOU SO LATE!" she yelled at me.

I sighed and looked my mother in the eyes and stated in a clam voice. "I passed out in school. Suichi carried me to his house until I work up. That's why I'm late."

My mother gave me a look, like the one your mothers give you when they think your lying, well that's the look she gave me. I sighed. She wasn't going to believe anything I say at thins point.

"It's a good thing your father isn't home yet." She stated turned around "Or he would have grounded you for a year." She hissed and walked into the kitchen.

Well that went better then I though it would. I though as I took off my shoes and walked up the stairs.

The next day went fast, my mother forgot all about me being late the night before, nothing strange. I washed the dished after dinner, did my home work, and now I'm talking a walk to the mall. Why? Because I want this nice jacket I saw the other day.

It took me a total of 20 minutes to walk there, and on the way I had this strange felling like I was being watched. Does someone out there have nothing better to do then watch me? Really, I'm not the interesting.

As I walked into the mall I went straight to jeans x-pert. There I sent my life savings (not really) on a black leather jacket.

It was only 40 zen, well a bit more then that, but it's my money and I shell do what I please with it.

As I was walking out of the store, quite happy I might ass, as heard a familiar voice. "So where do you guys what to go first?"

I turned around and saw Keiko, Botan, and another girl I didn't know. She has aqua color hair and crimson eyes. I didn't know you could have crimson eyes, they kind of look like the dresses wearing dude. What's his name again, Hi something. Sorry I'm not good with names.

Keiko spotted me and shouted out "HEY EM!" and ran over to me with Botan and the girl in toe.

I sweet droop at the girl, and waved to her as she ran into me. "OUFF.." I breather out

"I was worried about you" she mumbled. I pushed the girl off and said "I'm find Red took good care of me."

"Red?" Botan question, "Suichi" I answered the confused girl. Then another strange feeling came over me. It was like the three of use, me, Botan, and Keiko where together before, where I have no clue.

"OHH, I called him that once. But he gave me a glare and I never said it again." Botan confessed shaking her head.

I sighed, then looked at the aqua hair girl and said "And who might you be?"

She smiled a kind smile at me and said "Yukina, nice to meet you Miss" she ended with a bow of the head.

Her voice was kind, and had an innocence to it. I smiled at her and replied "The name is Emily, but call me Em." I also gave her a bow of the head.

"So what are you doing here?" Keiko asked walking back to stand next to Botan.

I lifted up the bag and said with a smirk "Buying an over due birthday gift for myself. What about you three, shopping I guess?"

They laughed at what I said. Was it that funny?

Keiko was the first to stop "Yes, Yukina needed some new clothes, I offered to take her. Botan tagged along." She stated.

"I see, well I'm done with what I have to do, so I'll see you around" I said as I turned around and started on my way out the mall and home. You see I'm not bug on shopping. But when I see something I like I will buy it, as along as it doesn't take longer the 20 minutes I'm good.

"Why don't you stay and shop with us?" Botan asked a bit too cheery.

I cringed as I called back as I walked "Can't, I have to get home and cook supper." I wasn't a complete lie I did have to cook supper, just not until 6:00.

I head them sigh and walked the other direction. Yes I'm free. I almost did a happy dance in the mall, but that would have made me look weird, not that I'm not. I just want everyone in the mall to know.

I walked out of the mall with a satisfied grin on my face; I took a deep breath of the not so clean air. Not like the air in my dream, if it was a dream.

I walked down the said walk full of busy people, tying to push their why though to get to where ever they where going. It's a good this it's Sunday. As I strolled though the busy people I head a familiar voice in front of me.

I looked around but all I saw was a group of girls. I stretched my head and though I mush be losing it. I shrugged it off and started why around the extremely large group of girls. Some I notice where from my school. Strange, I wonder what they are looking at.

Me being curious as I am, believe me it has gotten me in trouble a few time, pushed my though the large group of girls to see what cough their interest. It took me a good 3 minutes to get through; whatever they are looking at must be someone or something important.

As I moved aside the last girl, my mouth hit the floor "Red?" I asked in shock.

He sighed in relief when he saw me, and in a flash he was by my side. "There you are I have been looking al over for you" he said in a kind voice, that sent a shiver down my spine.

"Umm, yea" I answered, trying to figure out what the hell he was getting on with.

He looked at me in the eyes, and they said it all, a plead of help was plastered all over them. I smirked this could be fun.

"Sorry hun, I took a detour to the mall, there was this jacket that was screaming me name." I said in a seductive voice as I ran my finger down his chest, It was hard, I'm guess he's built.

I tint of red came across his face, as the girls around him gasped. If I didn't have to pretend that I was into him I would have fell to the ground laughing.

He linked his arm with mine and left the group of girls. That surprisingly made a walkway for us.

We walked down the street arm and arm until we where out of sight if the group of girls. I took my arm back and burst out laughing. "That.(haha) was(hahah) wicket (hahahaha)"

Suichi just age me a strange look then sighed "I guess it was, so how are you today?" he asked with a nit of concern.

I shrugged and said "Beside from having to wash dishes and cook tonight, I'm great and yourself?"

Suichi started too walked again and said "I'm fine, apart from being attack by crazy girls. Thank you for the rescue."

I caught up to him and nudged him as I said "It was nothing, I hade fun. I wish I could have seen the looks on there faces when we walked away. Priceless!" I said the last part a bit loud witch caused passer byres to stop and look at us. I smiled at them and kept walking like it was nothing.

"So red, what did you do to have all tough's girl drools over you?" I asked skipping ahead a bit, and turning around to face him as I walked backwards.

His left eye twitch again at the nick name as he said "Please call me Suichi I prefer it."

I shrugged and said "No, I like it, now answer the question red"

He sighed and said "Nothing I recall, they just drool over my looks."

"I see, well you can't really balm them, you're got one hot piece of meat." I stated in a thinking fashion.

Suichi stopped and just stirred at me wide eye, mouth open, the whole shebang. I stopped and titled my head to the right and said "What?"

He blinked a few times then said "What did you just say?"

I straighten my head and put my middle finger on my chin and said in a clam factual voice. "I was just telling you what you failed to tell me. 'They drool because off my looks.'" I mocked him waving my hands. "They droll because they think you're a sex god, and want to rap you on the spot." I finished pointing at him.

Again he just looked at me in total shock. I don't think he has had someone tell him that before. Well I wasn't going to deny the man his looks. I have never done that, even if I get the felling I shouldn't trust him.

I sighed and walked up to him a lightly pushed him to snap him out of his trance. "Suichi?" I asked as I pushed him.

He came back to earth , coughed then started to walk again. "Hey wait" I yelled running after him. "Did I say something wrong?" I asked in a child like voice.

"No, I just never had a girl say that to me before, without trying to seducing me. You're a real charter Em." He stated as we walked. Wait where are we walking?

"Not the first time I head that, any ways, where are we going?" I asked poking him in the arm.

He raised an eye brow at me and said "I don't know I was following you."

I sighed and said "Oh well, can't win them all. I'm going to go home, I just life over there somewhere."

Suichi chuckled a bit and said "My I walk you home?" he held out him hand.

I just looked at him and pushed his hand away. "No I'm fine, you should get home, your mother might think one of those crazy girls went and carted off with you, or something alone that line." I stated in clam humorous voice.

Again he chuckle and said "My mother won't be home till tomorrow, and I can take good care of myself" he finished with a smirk.

That fucking smirk, I hate it so much. I though as the vision of the silver fox man came into my head.

"Whatever, I'm going home now, you best be one your way, my dad doesn't like boy's walking me home." He went to protest but I walked away and said "If you follow me, you well meet the end of my father shot gun." I finished with full out warring in my voice.

I didn't see the look on his face, but I'm sure it was either a shocked one, or an amused one.
