Hey, guys, since I updated I decided to add two new chapters for the price of one. I wanted to show you guys how Kagome, Shuichi, and Yusuke's relationship developed. There were a lot of cute moments I wanted to add just to show you how close they were becomming already. Anyway, this will not end up being a threeway or anything like that. Kagome and Shuichi will eventually be together and as for Yusuke I have no idea if I'm going to pair him with Keiko or add my own character. To be honest, I really don't like Keiko because I think at times she has a hard time accepting the fact that Yusuke lives for the challenge of fighting strong opponents. And seeing as how Yusuke eventually transforms into a Hanyou (and yes Yusuke really is a half-breed. If you saw the episodes where Yusuke finally defeats Shinobu Sensui, then you should have seen the explanation that Yusuke was a direct descendant of the Mazoku an extremely powerful half-breed 44 generations before Yusuke's time) Anyway I might add in my own character for Yusuke or I might not. For now the only real pairing is Kagome/Kurama. Oh and if you're wondering why I'm calling Kurama Shuichi throughout the beginning, its because I really don't see him as Kurama yet. Since he really doesn't know what he is yet, he doesn't know he is Yoko Kurama. When he eventually gives in and accepts that he is part Yoko, then I will start calling him Kurama. That won't be for another couple of chapters. Also, I apologize if I've spelled his name wrong at all, but I think I've finally got the correct spelling. So, anyway, I'm sorry that explanation was so long, but I've had lots of questions and things I thought needed to be answered. So, here you go. Hope you like!!!

Disclaimer: Star light, star bright, first star I see tonight. Wish I may, wish I might, have this wish I wish tonight.  :::Gets in a praying position that maybe someday she will own Kurama:::

Chapter 4

Shuichi's Vision

After whole day of doing nothing but playing, laughing, and talking together, the three friends were now making there way home from school. They had eventually made it to school where Kagome had immediately gone into hysterics in front of the teacher about them having almost been kidnapped by a mysterious man. The teacher had been very upset and had called all three of their parents. Shuichi's mom was the first to show up and for awhile Shuichi felt kind of bad for lying to her. But then Kagome's mom came in and had known right away that Kagome was merely playing with the teacher and had skipped school. All she got was a warning. Yusuke's mom never showed and both Shuichi and Kagome were worried when Yusuke looked a little saddened by his mother's lack of show.

Both mothers had immediately taken note as their children made their way to Yusuke's side and had him laughing again within a few minutes. That was the point that both mothers noticed each other and began talking quietly together as their children talked with each other.

Shuichi's mom had wanted to take Shuichi home but after watching Kagome's mother tell Kagome she had to stay there the rest of the day, she decided to let Shuichi stay also. For some reason her son didn't seem too upset about the day's events. So eventually all three children were left to the slowness of the day, known as Kindergarten. Yusuke had promptly fallen asleep, while Kagome sat slumped in her chair, staring out at the clouds all day. Shuichi was the only one of the group who actually paid attention to the rest of the class, regardless of the fact that he knew everything already.

And so here they were making there way towards Kagome's home, as both had decided to go play with her for a little while. They stopped at the bottom of a large hill where Kagome's house sat. Shuichi wondered how he couldn't have noticed she lived so close to himself. "Well come on guys, I'll show you my house," she stated leading them up a long driveway. She took out a key and opened the front door, telling her mother she was home.

"Oh, hello, dear, did you have a nice day?" She purposely asked her daughter, knowing she had skipped.

Kagome merely smiled, her mom knew her so well. "It was awesome mom. We went to the arcade and then we played in the park. And, oh, mother these are my new best friends, Shuichi Minamino and Yusuke Urameshi," she announced proudly.

"It is a pleasure to meet you, Higuarshi-san," Shuichi said politely.

"Yes, well, it's nice to see Kagome has finally found some friends her age," Ayaka responded. "Would you like a snack or anything?"

All three declined and Ayaka had left them alone. "Wow, Kagome, your mom is so awesome. You didn't even get in trouble for skipping all day," Yusuke exclaimed. "My mother is going to pound me."

"Yeah, well, my mother is used to it," Kagome stated wryly. "I think she'd be a bit shocked if I did follow the rules. Besides whom do you think taught me?"

Shuichi and even Yusuke looked a little surprised though didn't say anything else. When they got to Kagome's room they were in for an even bigger surprise. Yusuke was expecting her room to be pink and flowery, like a girl's room. Instead the walls were a light white color and there seemed to be vines growing directly out of the walls. Her walls were spattered with paintings of wild vines and beautiful colored flowers. To put it bluntly, her room looked like a jungle.

"My Kami, Kagome, how the hell did you do this?" Yusuke gasped.

"Yes, this is really nice. I have to admit, I wish my room could be as nicely put together as this," Shuichi put in his two scents. He didn't know what it was inside him, but the voice in the back of his head immediately felt at home in this room. Suddenly Shuichi gasped and fell back against a wall as a vision just like Kagome's room, only it was real and wild. Kagome and Yusuke became worried and Kagome had Yusuke sit Shuichi on the bed.

"What's wrong with him!?" Yusuke demanded as Kagome looked shocked.

Although she didn't say it out loud, at the moment she was feeling an increasing amount of youkai energy coming directly from Shuichi. She knew she'd have to talk to her friend later and explain a few things as she could now feel the presence of someone other than Suiichi. Someone much older, but distinctly familiar.

While his friends tried to help him regain responsiveness, Shuichi lay there staring at the immense jungle. A flash of white whisked into view and a moment later, Shuichi found himself staring at a tall male with silver hair, golden eyes, and...was that ears...and a tail?! The man began speaking, but Shuichi couldn't hear what he was saying and a moment later, the vision vanished and he was once again back in Kagome's room.

"Shuichi?" Yusuke asked cautiously as his friend's eyes began flashing with recognition.

"Fox, are you all right?" Kagome asked worriedly, drawing a hand across his sweaty brow.

Shuichi only murmured, "A kitsune? Is that what I am?" he whispered before falling over in a dead faint, the last thing he noticed was Kagome and Yusuke frantically calling for him.

When Shuichi finally woke up, it was dark outside and he could barely see. His eyes closed momentarily until he remembered what happened. He shot up in the bed, noticing he was not in his own room. A low indrawn breath caught his attention and he noticed Kagome sleeping by his side and Yusuke next to the wall. Both chibis were holding each other in a comforting position as they slept on. Despite the current situation, he allowed a tiny smile as he took in his best friends' sleeping position.

Kagome had one arm wrapped around his own waist and her head nestled amongst her wide array of pillows. Yusuke lay snoring directly behind her, his left arm flung harmlessly over her side. Shuichi lay back down and turned to face Kagome. He tentatively allowed his right arm to slip around Kagome's tiny waist and pull her closer. He sighed and allowed himself to study his new friends.

Yusuke, he could figure out in an instant. Upon first impressions he was all rough and tumble, a punk kid who even at the age of five looked like he could take on the world. But just from today, hanging out and wrestling with him, Shuichi could tell that Yusuke was a friend who had a heart of gold underneath all that toughness; one that once you got to know him, would never let you down or betray you.

But Kagome, Shuichi's eyes traveled over the smooth contours of her face, Kagome was someone Shuichi had a hard time figuring out. She appeared to be sweet and kind, yet she also had a toughness that could match Yusuke's. She was sarcastic and witty and, he surmised, very smart. Shuichi allowed a finger to trace her features. He smiled in recognition of the kiss he had bestowed in her earlier that day. He'd only done it as a way of teasing her, but when he finally noticed the look in her eyes, it took his breath away. She'd looked at him like she was a predator and it somehow made him feel...excited. He didn't know what it was about her that drew him to her, but Shuichi knew he would not, could not picture life without her in it. She and Yusuke were his first true friends, the first who liked him right off the bat for who he was, the first to ever make him smile and laugh as never before. He would never forgive himself if something happened to either of his friends.

And so Shuichi decided he would do everything he could to protect both his best friends.

That's a very noble decision, a voice rose up from the back of his mind. Shuichi almost groaned.

Are you going to tell me who you are yet? Shuichi asked somewhat exasperatedly.

You mean you haven't figured it out yet? The voice asked almost mockingly.

Was that you in the vision I had today? Shuichi asked bluntly.

Yes and no, the voice replied hauntingly.

What do you mean? Shuichi asked, tiredly.

Ask the girl, the voice demanded abruptly.

Who? Shuichi asked before realizing who the voice was talking about. Wait, are you talking about Kagome?

When the voice didn't answer Shuichi gave a sigh of relief and then glanced back at his friend. He knew she had secrets, for every once in awhile she would get this look in her eyes as she looked at him; like she was searching for something. "What is it you know, Kagome? And why do I get the feeling there is more to you than meets the eye?" he whispered out loud dragging his fingers lightly through her soft hair. His hand stilled and his eyes closed as Shuichi finally sunk into sleep, unknowingly inching closer to Kagome, as his arm drew her closer into his little body.

And all through the night, the three chibis slept on, all three content in the fact that they'd found something they were looking for within each other; a friendship that would remain for many years to come.
