"No!" Yukina quickly sat up, opening her eyes while her hands reached out as if they were grasping for something. She gasped, feeling the cold sweat all over her body.
"A nightmare...." Yukina thought as she looked at her hand.
"No. That was only a dream...a nightmare....but it felt so real..." Yukina lied back down.
"But who was that girl?" Yukina mumbled to herself. She closed her eyes and then pictured the images from her dream and played them over again and again.
Kurama was pulling her hand, urging her to go faster because they were being chased, but Yukina couldn't see who it was. Yukina felt herself trip and Kurama quickly helped her up and continued running.
Just then Yukina felt herself stop running, for they had ended up in a dead end. Kurama was holding her close to him. Yukina saw a girl walk up on the bridge that connected from where they were standing. She stopped a couple feet from them and Yukina had tried to see who it was, but Kurama wouldn't let her look who it was. She knew that Kurama was speaking to the girl and they were talking, but she couldn't hear anything.
Yukina noticed that the girl was holding something small and round in her right hand, but she couldn't make it out what it was. She raised her right hand toward her face and sent something flying towards them. Yukina shut closed her eyes as it came closer and faster. Yukina felt herelf being pulled closer towards Kurama and then slowly opened her eyes to see blood dripping onto her face.
Yukina quickly looked up at Kurama and noticed blood trickling out his mouth. Her eyes grew wide as she realized that it was his blood and not hers. He had blocked the attack for her and it was taking his life away.
Tears streamed down her cheeks as she dropped down to her knees with Kurama resting in her lap. Kurama slightly opened her eyes to look at Yukina and then they slowly closed and she would never see life in those green eyes ever again. Yukina could feel the girl who killed Kurama walking closer towards her and she spoke a few words to Yukina, but she didn't care what she had said.
Yukina hugged Kurama's cold body and cried out.
Yukina quickly opened her eyes as the image stopped, but it was still playing in her mind. She then realized that someone was calling her name out.
"Yukina??!! Are you here?!" Yukina heard Botan's voice. If she was here, then so was Keiko. Yukina quickly slipped on her blue kimono and then the door slid opened. Yukina looked at Keiko.
"Oh Yukina!" Botan quickly went over and hugged her. "We were looking for you all night. Who brought you here?" Botan asked.
"Oh. Kurama brought me here and stayed the night." Yukina said.
"Where did-"
"Did you use the suggestions that I told you about?!" Keiko asked excitedly, interrupting Botan. Yukina smiled and nodded. "Did it work?! How far did you get?!" Keiko asked once more.
"Keiko! This isn't the time for that!!" Botan said to her. Keiko looked at Botan.
"Don't you want to know what happened?" Keiko asked.
"But, um yea, I guess . . ." Botan said with a sigh and nodded as she looked at Yukina and slowly looked back at Keiko. She was already gone and talking to Yukina. Botan stared at her friend blankly.
"Why does she always do that...???" Botan thought as she went over to Yukina.
"So what exactly happened last night?" Keiko asked once again. Yukina looked at her hand and then was lost in her thoughts. Keiko's voice echoed through her mind, but ignored it.
The dream; that was more important to her right now. What exactly happened?
"No, Kurama still alive. I know it. It was only a dream." Yukina thought, thinking back to her nightmare. She heard someone calling her name in the distant.
"Yukina, Yukina. Yukina!!" Yukina quickly opened her eyes and sat up.
She looked up to see Botan and Keiko looking over her with a worried looks stamped on their faces.
"What-What happened?" Yukina asked them, confused about what just happened.
"You fainted Yukina." Botan said.
"And you are sick with a fever. Did Kurama keep you out late Yukina??" Keiko asked her, as she motioned Yukina to lie down and then placed a wet towel on her forehead. Yukina eyes closed halfway.
"I don't know what happened. Everything's a blur." Yukina said softly.
"I'll go get Genkai!" Keiko said as she got up, but then Botan stopped her.
"Keiko! Genkai isn't in the temple right now. She's in a meeting with Koenma!!" Botan said to her, reminding her about how busy they were. Keiko looked blankly at her.
"Who else can we call on then??" Keiko asked urgently as she sat down, looking through her cell phone.
"I doubt any doctor would come out here to treat someone." Keiko said.
"Well, I think we can call Kurama. After all he does do healing and makes remedies." Botan said with a tone of hinting to her.
"That's right!" Keiko then dialed in Kurama's number.
"Kurama? It's Keiko. We need you to bring some remedies to Genkai's Temple and bring –"
Yukina heard Keiko and Botan talking, but their voices faded as everything else turned blurry. "It was a dream. It was all a dream. Just a really really bad dream called a nightmare. It'll go away, I know it, but what does it mean?" Yukina thought as she closed her eyes, falling into a deep sleep.
