NO STOP! TURN AROUND BEN PLEASE, I DON'T WANT YOU TO GET HURT. BEN NOOOO!

Akira woke up in a cold sweat and looked around his room. "Ohh just another dream..." he mumbled into the darkness. "Why do I keep having that, dream? Why wont it just go away?" he sighed and looked up at his ceiling and his thought wandered to Kurama. The last time he had the dream Kurama was there, he wanted that comfort back. It had been a couple weeks since the whole ordeal in the mall, and he really did enjoy his new clothing. He hadn't hung out with Kurama as often latly because Kurama and friends had to do something, he didn't know what though. He looked down at his clock, 2:00 am. "Its way too early to be up... uhhhh" he whimpered as he slipped back between his sheets. "Maybe I can get a couple more hours of sleep before school, stupid tests."moan he pulled the covers over his head and tried to fall asleep again, but found his mind drifting to Kurama once more. He smiled at the image in his head, always cool and calm, popular beyond compare, perfect really. He missed hanging out with him, but knew that Kurama promised that they would hang out for a while that night, and was looking forward to it.

Kurama woke up after only a couple hours of sleep, he had been out for much of the night trying to find out anything he could about this power source that no one could detect. He want to places where demons in the human world sometimes gathered and listened to their conversation, but decided he had to get some rest. He wasn't quite sure why he was awake, it was dark out, he looked down at the clock, 2:01 it was really early. "Why did I wake up now, I wasn't even dreaming." he pondered as he got up and went to te kitchen for some water. "I shouldn't be awake, I have a test today..." he said groggily, sipping on the water and wandering back to his room, tripping on his own book bag. "OW! Damn it!" he limped back to his room, just glad no one could see his momentary laps in grace. As he crawled back into bed his thought drifted to Akira, he felt bad for not spending that much time with him lately, the poor kid could get jumped by those bullies who hate him and Kurama might not be there. He was worried, but he knew his assignment was too important to ignore, but at least tonight the were gonna hang out. They both had a project to work on and he had promised Akira.

When Akira re-awoke it was past time to get up. "awwww man! I overslept! Dammit!" he rushed to get his uniform on and grabbed a bagel and rushed out the door. "This is not how I wanted to start my day..." he mumbled as he jogged down the road to school, I hope im not late..."

Kurama's day didn't start any smoother, not only did he kick his book bag that morning, it turned out that there had been a glass of water already out on a table that the book bag had knocked, and it spilt all over his clean uniform, and he was scrambling to get it dry enough to go to school. As it turned out the two made it to school at exactly the same time. "Hi Akira." huff

"hi Kurama" huff

"let me guess, you over slept?"

'Yeah? What happened to you? Spill your water on you?"

"You could say that..." he said with a smile. He wrapped his arm around Akira's shoulder. "Well at least there's this, when a day starts out horrible, it cant get much worse." the boys laughed at each other as their friends ran up to them.

"Man, you guys are late! The bells about to ring!"

"Yeah! What happened anyway?"

"Don't ask." they said in unison as the first bell rang, ushering them inside. It turned out that Kurama was right, the day went by smoothlyand was pretty uneventful, it turned out that the test that Kurama and Akira were worried about was pretty easy, at least for them anyway.They were still happy whenlunch rolled around and the group, as always, met around the same table.

"So, are you guys gonna tell us what happened this morning, you two are like, never late."

"I don't know, I woke up at like 2 this morning, for no apparent reason, then I was thirsty, and on my way back to my room, in the dark, I... uh spilt some water on my uniform, and I was desperately trying to dry it."

"Really? What about you Akira?"

"I woke up at about 2, as well, then slept through my alarm."

"Why did you wake up?"

"I,uh had a bad dream..." Kurama looked at him, he remembered the night that he heard Akira screaming in his sleep, he knew it was the same horrible dream from before, and wondered if for some reason thats what woke him up.

"What kind of dream?"

"Yeah did the boogy man get you?" Kuwabara joked

"leave him alone, its not like you don't have bad dreams every once in a while." he said irritatedly

"whoa take it easy there, we were just trying to cheer him up, you don't need to bite my head off."

"Well just leave him alone urameshi" Akira looked at Kurama and smiled his thank you to him. As the rest of the day passed, Akira could only think about how nice Kurama was. He was even more happy to see him after the final bell than he had expected.

"So what are your plans for the weekend?" yeuske asked as they gathered in front of the school.

"Well Akira and I were going to work on a project at my house,we are doing ours together for the class."

"Yeah? Thats it?"

"Mostly, I promised I'd be around to work on it this weekend, so I'm going to."

"Oh okay" Yueske said "then what about the thing we were supposed to do?" he said refering to the assignment they had been given.

"You can handle it by yourself, I made a promise."

"What you had other plans Kurama?" Akira asked quietly

"No but there is that thing we were working on,"

"oh the 'secret' thing. You sure they don't need you, it seems important"

"this is important too, important to my grade!" he said with a grin which Akira weakly returned.

"We'll see you later then Kurama, good luck on your project!" Keiko waved as they left.

The two made their way to Kurama's and on the way Kurama couldn't help but worry about Akira's bad dream. he'd heard him screaming and knew if it did that it had to be horrible.

"Akira?" he asked.

"Yeah Kurama?"

"I know I shouldn't ask, but was your dream that same one..."

"Yeah it was, I hate it."

"Sounds pretty bad, are you sure you don't want to talk about it?"

"Hmm, I, um, only with you," he said meekly "when we get to your house." Kurama nodded in acknowledgment. They soongot to Kurama's house and while setting up the stuff for their project, Akira started telling Kurama a little bit about it his dream.

"I, my dream, is about a friend of mine from the states, I went to school with him, and like you guys, he was really nice to me, he was my only friend."

"Yeah? By the sounds of your dream, something happened to him."

"It did, there was an, accident, and he was killed as a result."

"Oh Akira, I didn't think..."

"I was there when it happened I could have helped him, but instead, I think I killed him..."

"Akira, im sure it wasn't your fault, there was probably nothing you could do..."

"No, it was my fault, its why I moved the last time, I killed him, its all my fault!" he said, tearing up and burying his face in his hands." Kurama felt exceptionally bad for him. He felt somewhat at kin with him.

"Kurama, I just feel so bad... my only friend, he was so nice."

"Akira..." he looked up out of his hands at the comforting voice and was greeted with a pair of warm, wetlips. He didn't pull away howeverbut wrapped his hands around Kurama's neck, burying them in his scarlet locks. Crying as they kissed he felt a comfort he never did before, his heart lept in his chest, they kissed for real this time(A/N last time it was just an impulse of curiosity)and as he moved from the kiss he embraced Kurama and wept quietly into his shirt. they held each other andthe two could feel something in their hearts,and they knew inside, and knew for the first time what the feeling they shared was, they, were in love.

Awwww, isn't that sweet? they finally know that their in love, but what problems willit bring them? how will they cope with it and how will they keep it a secret from the boys? you'll just have to read on! please review!
