"ahmm.. well.. no why?" "i just wanted to show you something" "what?" ao said, a little curious. "just a place.....well?" "hmm ...sure...why not ^_^?" "great! Lets go to my place first to drop this " "Sure!!" kurama and ao took a quick drop over the minamino's house and went for the place where he usually spents his time alone...in a very wide clearing up in the mountains...a clearing of wild roses. "oh my...this place is...beautiful...' said ao "you think?' "yes its so wonderful..." she said as ao walked towards kuramas eyes followed her . With her hair flowing gracefully alongside of the soft breeze of the air..amidst the rose petals that flows with it...she seemed so beautiful in his eyes...the roses just helped raised the beauty that was already hers.... "yes... its beautiful" thought kurama Ao kneeled down while kurama slowly walked towards her. She tries to pick a rose ...however "ouch..."she was pricked by the thorns. Kurama knelt down beside her and took her hand.."careful...these are wild roses..the thorns are much sharper although small" kurama removed the thorn using his mouth..ao blushed at his act but she remained quiet. Kurama smiled and gave her the rose that she was trying to pick. "a..ri gato kurama-sama" ao said...and for some reason she couldnt seem to look into his eyes anymore. There was silence then ao said she wanted to go home now . kurama nodded and took her home. "sayonara ao-san" "sayonara..." ao said she still couldnt look at him but then ao called him back " Kurama!..." kurama looked back "..I...I d love to go back there..if its okay with you" while mustering enough strength to look at him. Kurama smiled ..." yes...anytime " "thanks..i..i really appreciate it..well see you' "yeah see yah" kurama smiled at her ..she quickly went up to her room ...She stared at the rose for a very long time and blushed while she did...she seems to be feeling something but she couldnt understand what --- HIEI The next day they had met again after class and went to the rose clearings again. While they were talking an eagle seemed to fly around them. Kurama looked at it when he noticed it. Ao just smiled for she knows too well who that eagle is. She is about to call that eagle when a black figure seems to be pursuing it since strangely enough that particular eagle emits a very powerful ki energy. Suddenly ao shouted for it : "Rei-kon, get down!!" which startled Kurama. Rei-kon obeyed his master and went down to perch at the tree nearby. The figure revealed itself. Kurama recognized it to be Hiei. Ao looked at him intently " you are not touching rei-kon!!" . Hiei just stared at her while she remained furious. Afterwards he turned away his attention. Like nothing happened, he just snared. During all that while kurama remained silent, he looked at ao and told her that she doesn't need to worry and that hiei is a friend of his and Yusuke's. He looked at hiei who was still sneering , "please forgive him ao". "huh?…oh! yes! Yes! Of course" "kurama" hiei suddenly spoke "has yusuke decided yet?" "yusuke?…no I dont know really" "decided on what ?, kurama" asked ao "its nothing really ao"kurama told her "you don't have to worry about that" "im going" hiei interupted "okay" "bye hiei!!!!" said ao but hiei ignored her. "geez…your friend sure is swell" "nani wa?" ^_^ "nothing!!!…uh..kurama?" "yeah" "what are you guys talking about back there" "I told you its really nothing" kurama looked away " you wouldn't understand anyway" silence "is that your pet?" "yeah.. but my grandfather prefers to refer to it as my familiar , coz it always follows me around" "really?" kurama sems somewhat surprised. He looked at it . "this eagle emits a very strong ki..that's why Hiei attacked it" he tgought " I wonder if…." Next day " Ao , I'm really sorry I cant go home with you. I still have volleyball practice" "its okay keiko, really ..you don't have to feel bad really" "im really soory" "hey..its allright I wont get lost anymore :P" "don't scare me like that!!" "okay okay just go now okay?" "oh allright..take care okay?" "of course" And so Ao went home alone. As she pass down an alley she noticed a big brute who seemed to be harassing a young girl (who happens to be yukina-san). "hey you ugly stop that!!!!!" Ao shouted without thinking "what did you say?!!" Ao was shocked for before her eyes the guy turned into a very big and nasty looking youkai! "you shouldn't have said that" yukina told her "now she tells me"
