RedRoseKitsune: Hello, people! I'm sorry it took me so long to update, it took me awhile to get over my writer's block... And now, here it is, the long awaited, chapter 12!
--------------------
Disclaimer: I (sadly) do not own Yu Yu Hakusho or Kingdom Hearts. I do, however, own all of my original characters. I borrowed names from Ayashi no Ceres, DN Angel, Fushigi Yuugi, and Full Moon wo Sagashite for some of them, though.
Chapter 12- Night at the Hospital
After Kurama and Riku had left, one of the nurses came in with dinner for Rose. She set the tray on the bedside table.
"Thank you." Rose smiled.
The nurse smiled back. "You're welcome. You have a lot of caring friends, don't you?"
Rose nodded.
"Well, I'll just leave you to your dinner, and after that, I advise you to go to bed." The nurse smiled again, and then walked out the door.
Rose poked at her dinner with her fork, not really hungry. After about a half hour, Rose placed the tray back on her bedside table, next to the vase of roses Dr. Mikami had left for her.
"I thought they'd make you feel better, since they match your name." he had said.
Rose then reached over and turned off the light, then rolled over to sleep.
--
"Kurama…?"
Rose walked through the thick mist that had appeared around her towards a figure that looked like Kurama.
"Kurama… Is that you?" her voice echoed, and her tongue felt heavy, like lead.
Kurama turned to face Rose, and he was covered in blood. He had a small, pained smile on his bloody face.
Rose screamed, and began to run towards him. Her legs felt like jello, as tears streamed down her face.
"KURAMA!"
"R-Rose…" Kurama stumbled toward her, and then began to fall.
Rose reached him, and as he fell into her arms, he faded… Only leaving traces of his blood and tears on her hands.
She hugged herself with her wet and bloody hands, and quietly sobbed, "Kurama…"
--
"AHHH!" Rose screamed as she quickly sat up in her bed. Cold sweat ran down her face. She looked down at her hands, and they were flecked with blood.
"What…?" When Rose looked closer, she realized she had been clenching her hands into fists very hard, and her nails had dug into her palms.
"Thank god… It's only my blood…" she whispered.
Suddenly, her door quietly and slowly opened.
Rose jumped. "H-hello?"
"Rose? You're awake?" Kurama poked his head in through the doorway.
"Kurama?" Rose blushed, a look of astonishment on her face.
"I just had a nightmare about him, and now he's here?!"
"I came back to check on you, I hope you don't mind." Kurama smiled.
Rose smiled back. "N-no, I don't mind… But, it's so late… And you have school tomorrow…"
Kurama laughed. He pulled up a chair next to her bed, and sat down.
"Don't worry about it, Rose. I'll be fine. You mind if I stay for the night?" he gave her a puppy dog look, and Rose laughed.
"Fine, fine. You don't have to give me that look." she smiled.
"Well, I wanted to do it, since it made you smile." he placed his hand on hers, and smiled. Rose blushed.
"Alright, go back to sleep." Kurama whispered as he planted a light kiss on her forehead.
Rose blushed, and snuggled back under her covers.
"Night, Kurama…" Rose mumbled, already drifting off.
"Good night, Rose…" Kurama stroked her hair, as Rose sank fully into sleep. "… I love you."

RedRoseKitsune: How was that? Sorry if it was short... I wrote it on paper first, and my handwriting's kinda big... so it looked longer... Anyway, sorry if Rose's dream seemed kinda sappy. I was watching "Without a Trace" when I wrote this last night, and it was sad, so I was in a sad-writing-mood. Anyway, please review!
