Author's note: this is my first YYH fanfiction and I had this idea a while back after reading other amazing stories. It broke my heart to see two lovely characters unable to find love and an idea was brought to life. Why can two people not find love within a single person and be content with sharing the love instead of trying to divide it. So here it is Hiei and Kurama fall in love with the same woman, who in turn loves them back both equally.
Disclaimer: I do not own YYH or any of the amazing characters except for my own OC.
The Dream: Chapter 1
"Ugh Urameshi why are we still out here, you know I have class in the morning and it's already like 3AM?"
"You didn't have to come with me, but if you remember you were the one that threw a fit when Koenma didn't include you on my latest mission."
Yusuke and Kuwabara have been walking around the city for hours looking for any kind of demon activity. Since the last demon world tournament and another king crowned, the boys have found life to be on the more boring side. The new leader, another less known demon, had won the tournament and along with new laws he kept one very important law, that no demon should harm any humans nor should their presence in the human world be for playful reasoning. This was his most in forced law, with the punishment of death if any chose to break it. So for the boys they were put on detail duty, to sniff out any demons breaking this law; but more importantly, they were on the look for demons in hiding or humans with demon or spirit abilities that were unknown to the human.
"Okay one last lap and then I am going home. You should too, Keiko will lose her marbles if she wakes up and you aren't there…Again." Kuwabara couldn't hold back his low giggle at the memory of the last time Yusuke stayed out all night. The hand print on his face was visible for days.
"Yeah okay man, one last lap. I have a feeling something is about to happen though." Yusuke was staring at a row of houses in the higher end of town with a look of suspicion spelled across his face.
As a few more uneventful minutes past, Yusuke began to think he was just being antsy; it had been weeks since they ran into any trouble and he was getting bored. Just as the boys were about to round the last house on the street and head back home when there was a huge burst of energy, unlike anything they had felt before. It wasn't quite demon but far from spirit energy too, "Do you feel that?"
"Ohh yea!" Kuwabara yelled into the quite night, "What is it?"
"Don't know, let's go check it out."
The boys ran up to a normal, white, two story house and inspected it for a moment. "Okay so what we just knock and ask if any demons are home?" Kuwabara laughed.
"Sure, why the hell not?" Giving a non-caring shrug Yusuke walked up to the house, knowing all too well that they couldn't just leave without finding out what was going on. And just then, out of nowhere, a storm blew in releasing a down pour of freezing rain.
The boys looked at each other, smirking, and knew they had the perfect excuse. Yusuke rang the door bell twice before receiving any answer, "Yeah who is it?" A groggy woman's voice came from the other side of the door.
"Hey, yeah, I know this is a little dumb but it just started storming out of nowhere and we were wondering if we could come in for a minute until the damn rain slows down."
There was a long pause of silence coming from inside the house, but after what felt like a life time standing in the freezing rain, the two boys heard the door unlock and slowly open. In front of them stood an average height woman with long wavy dark brown hair and piercing baby blue eyes, which were blood shot and puffy from crying. She opened the door and let the boys come into her home, after closing the door she gave them both a long hard look up and down. "Kuwabara?" Her eyes seemed to lighten once realizing who was standing in her house.
"Oh wow Lilly is that really you? Jeez it has been what 2 years since I last saw you? How was graduation? Did you get that internship you wanted? What are you doing living over here? And still no car I see." Kuwabara attacked the poor sleepy girl with a slew of questions, not waiting for any kind of reply before babbling on to his next one. Yusuke stood in total confusion as the two caught up on facts from the past 2 years at an alarming rate, "So you two what, dated or something?"
The two old friends stopped their round of twenty-questions and both looked at Yusuke and then back at each other as they erupted into a fit of laughter. "No it's nothing like that; Kuwabara here and I went to the same college. I was a year younger than him, but we were great study buddies. Haven't seen this big goof since graduation, that was such a proud day for everyone; graduating at the top 10% of his class, but you probably already knew that."
Yusuke smiled and nodded, laying a proud hand on his old friends' shoulder. "Yep, never thought I'd see the day, uh man?"
"Right and you are?" Her voice laced with a small hint of distain for the man in front of her, whom just insulted her kind hearted friend.
"Ohh right, sorry Lilly. This is Yusuke Urameshi, one of my best buds. And Urameshi this here is Lilly Rose. Still the girliest name I've ever heard." Kuwabara introduced the two while trying to hold back his laughter as he poked fun at her name, knowing all too well she would not hold back from slapping him upside the head.
She shot daggers at Kuwabara for his childish comment towards her name, something she found incredibly annoying but also loved about the large man – how he could be so serious one moment and then act as though he was 5 years old again in the next, always keeping her on her toes.
With a small sigh, her eyes lit back up from their previous glare, "Well it doesn't look like the rain is going to stop any time soon, so you both are more than welcome to crash in the living room for the night. Let me go grab you some towels to dry off with." Within seconds she was back with towels, blankets and pillows.
Once the boys were all tucked in, in the living room, Lilly took her leave back to her own room but was stopped by Yusuke's caring tone in his voice.
"Hey Lilly, are you okay? You seem kinda down, like something's bothering ya?"
She slowly turned back to the two boys sitting on opposite couches in just their boxers wrapped up in blankets to keep warm, they were starring at her with such concern in their eyes that she couldn't help but give in to them. She sat down on the couch next to Kuwabara and started to explain that she had a nightmare right before they rang her door bell and couldn't help but cry. Yusuke very gently asked this emotional girl if she mind explaining the dream, hoping to not get slapped but also hoping it would calm her to talk about her problems out loud.
Lilly took a deep breath and began her story, one that she had only told a few people before ever in her life and all being doctors who were trying to help find a way to get rid of this reoccurring nightmare of hers.
Author's note: as you can tell this story takes place after the anime ends. It's been 7 years since the first demon world tournament; placing Lilly at 22. Yusuke, Kuwabara, and Keiko's ages at 23. Kurama's human form would be 25 and Hiei not aging like the rest also looks roughly 25. Just so you can get an idea of the ages! Thanks again for reading!
