*~*Prophetic Clash*~* {FULL}

[Homicidal Love]

Kurama couldn't wipe the smile off his face. Less than 24 hours and he was already head over heels for Rose. With a flickering leap he hung himself on the rafter, lowering himself behind the unsuspecting human after Yusuke entered.

The girl felt minor tremors course through her body as she shook. But what was she shaking from? Death wasn't a fear of her's. Nor was the demise of Carolyn and Toguro since she knew the time would come eventually. As the illusion dissolved and her Master walked away her knees slowly lowered to the ground as they gave out with the confusion of her mind. "M-master Ryu," Her voice was wuiet because she wasn't sure what to say, or even if she wanted to sat anything at all. "I don't understand. That wasn't a fearful experience, so what am I feeling?" Her eyes were hollowed but pained in a way that she couldn't fathom. She had never been exposed to loss or love, much less the loss of love.

Rose let out a soft growl as she lowered herself in front of Yusuke. He froze and then spun around only to face Kurama, surprising him even more into letting out a shout and falling onto his butt. Once he realized what was going on his face got red. This caused rose to giggle as she dropped to the floor, landing on her feet and hands in a crouch.

Ryuu stopped in his tracks, turning around. "What your feeling is shock. Your not scared of death, but that doesn't mean you'll not miss those that have passed. Your feeling what is known as loss. It's what someone feels when they lose someone they love or are close too. It's instinctual, no one can avoid it" Ryuu said as he walked up to her, stopping a foot away from her. Even he knew the feeling and what Toguro told him before he started training her made him cut the Illusion short, knowing that it could have been much worse.

A satisfied smirk slipped onto the man's face once he saw the surprise and slight fright on Yusuke's face. Like Rose he too landed on his feet, but had no need to crouch. Extending a hand in the most gentlemanly manner the fox assisted Rose to her feet and escorted her out of the closet on his arm. It was quite obvious that the two held a strong connection, though that had only been formed in hours.

Just as the man was about to say something Jaime came running over. "Rose! Its time for us to be going to bed, or else Genkai will flip. Come on!" Before Rose was whisked away Kurama laid another gentle kiss on her lips, it was obvious that the others had figured it out, but was forced away when Jaime drug her away.

After dragging Rose away, making sure they were the first ones to the bunks, Jaime squealed. "Rose! Kurama just KISSED you! I'm so happy for you." Her voice was high pitched and obviously energized as she swooned. However, as she talked, she slipped under her covers, ready for sleep. "You and I will hang out some tomorrow - we absolutely have to!" At that the boys walked in, all slipping under covers and being careful not to wake the sleeping Hiei, who had been previously transported there by Genkai. Sleep soon overtook the group.

Ryuu's words fell on not deaf ears, but a hollowed mind. Almost painedly the girl forced herself to her feet, not looking at the man in front of her. She shouldn't be feeling this - she didn't even understand what was happened. "I'm sorry to have bothered you, Master Ryuu." Her voice was curt and quick as she made her first couple of steps, sidestepping the demon. Maybe if she got to her room she could lock herself away and get her mind back in place. Then again, maybe she needed to run...or perhaps not.  

[lucky_elf]

(It's fine, if it continues the story by all means)

Through all that was happening Rose managed to kiss Kurama back before being pulled away by Jaime. At her swooning Rose was blushing, she wasn't used to this kind of attention, but she felt happy. "Alright" Rose said simply as she crawled into her bed, giving a yawn as she did. Once her head hit the pillow and the lights were turned off, it didn't take her long to fall asleep.

"You're not bothering me, I understand that this is all new and confusing, so I'll give you space unless you say otherwise" Ryuu said seriously, knowing that girls tend to be stronger when their emotional. It was like their raging emotions gave them a power boost that was stronger then what guys got from emotions.

As the glowing glory of the sunrise struck Jaime's eyes she was immediately fluttering above her bed. It was going to be a glorious day, especially since she had a new training partner. Gently shaking the feline by her shoulder Jaime couldn't contain her excitement. "Rose! Wake up! We need to make breakfast and then we'll train and practice and learn and tan and talk and giggle and and..." The winged demon finally had to stop when she ran out of breath and, as she peered around the room, she was almost disappointed to see Kurama wasn't around.

Tenma glided by Ryuu, not sure what to make of everything. She felt like a burden but she also felt a burden on herself. What was this? As soon as she was out of sight she hit a path, one that had been scarred into the flourishing forest by the pounding of her feet as she sped along, and sped off to clear her head. First was her encounter with her stanger, Hiei, who she had only seen that morning. Then there was the arrival of a new Master, which threw off her energies enough. Finally there were these strange emotions swirling about inside of her. She would have to read more books to search for understanding.

Green blurs finally faded from her vision as her mind tunneled everything around her. Before long she was confronted with monochrome fussions between black and brown. It was a rock face that not even the boldest attempted to climb without assistance. This was made of a special substance and moulded energy wouldn't allow you to grip the surface. It was perilous if not a death wish. Her mind saw her climbing higher and higher, away, but her feet stopped and she simply sat with her back to the wall, her head leaning against its coarse surface. Somehow she would understand.  

[lucky_elf]

"Wha?" Rose asked sleepily as she sat up, her eyes dropping and on their way to slumber. She wasn't a morning person, much like any feline. Her half-asleep mind told her to get out of bed which she did, only to lay back down on the nearest bed which just happened to be Kurama's. curling up in a ball, she curled her tail around herself for warmth and attempted to go back to sleep.

Ryuu gave a shrug over the girls reaction. It confused him, but he didn't put much though into it. Walking towards the compound, he disappeared inside.

Looking over when she didn't hear the russle of clothes or the groaning of an awakening cat demon Jaime couldn't help but give a scandelous grin. After fluttering over she grabbed the girls arms and lifted her so Rose's feet were involuntarily touching the cool floor. "Now, now, my dear, your little boy toy is already awake, so no cuddling for you!" She loved it, Jaime absolutely loved it.

With her legs pulled up to her chest, arms wrapped protectively around the bundle, Tenma's eyes peered out under half closed eyelids as she tried to clear her mind. There was an oddly warm breeze brushing over her exposed skin, beckoning her to rest her tired legs and her spinning mind. Without thinking twice the girl slid down to curl up on her side and rest on the distinctly soft dirt.  

[lucky_elf]

"Boy toy?" Rose asked as she started to wake up a bit more due to the cold floor.Finally awake enough she supported her own weight allowing Jaime to let her go. Rubbing her eyes, Rose walked over to her still boxed things and pulled out a clean blue dress much like the one she had worn the day before. Making her way to the bathroom, finding it empty, rose brushed her hair and washed her face. Once done with that she waited for Jaime to get ready herself and tell her what they'll be doing.  

[Homicidal Love]

By the time Rose had finished readying herself Jaime was prepared to start the day. Dressed in typical Western fashion the winged woman led the to the kitchen in order to, as they had the day before, prepare breakfast. "Alright," Jaime had began to slip on her light pink apron and put down cooking utensils by the time she began to talk. "I assume today Genkai is just going to throw you in the mix with the rest of us. The women, hehe I love being able to say women, make breakfast for the boys because they have to pull out all of the training equipment in the mornings. After we all go on this aweful run and the faster you go the more weights Genkai attatches to you next time. Now, if you have wings you have to run half and fly half; then again, I supposed that doesn't apply to you. After that we do these wierd drills and spar, then the sunsets and we meditate. That is pretty much our day." Once Jaime got to her conclusion there was popping and sizzling and fry as the two cooked. "In theory, this will be like everyday. Genkai doesn't like to change things up too much.

Kurama, Yusuke, and Kuwabara all sped through the forest; Hiei was nowhere to be found. Normally they would be setting up the arena, which was far more difficult than Jaime gave them credit for, but that morning came with an unexpected surprise. The sound of a fight had called them deep into the forest and they arrived in time to see a female kitsune get pummelled. Now she was unconcious in his arms as they approached the complex. No sooner as they rushed through the door did Kuwabara break off to the kitchen to find the girls and Yusuke to find Genkai in the temple.

Upon entering the infirmatory Kurama began healing the woman with a few of his plants that had medicinal properties.

Rushing in through the door of the kitchen Kuwabara paused, doubling over to catch his breath. "Jaime...Rose..." His words came in his gasps for breath. "We...found a...woman in the forest...I think she needs help...Kurama has her in the...infirmatory." Listening to Jaime's clattering plates allowed him to sink down until the woman grabbed hiim by the arm, apparently she also had Rose by the hand, and drug them off down the wing.  

[lucky_elf]

Rose silently followed Jaime to the room that Kurama and the kitsune were in. Once she saw them the pulled from Jaime's grasp and rushed to Kurama's side. "Is she going to be alright" Rose asked concerned about the girls welfare although she had a bad feeling. She felt uncomfortable around the girl even though she was injured and unconscious. She had completely forgotten about the feeling she had when earlier about her relationship with Kurama not lasting.  

[Homicidal Love]

Kurama glanced gravely over at Rose but had to quickly turn his attention back. The woman was bruised and battered; Kurama was not a healer. "I don't know...healing isn't my forte but she looks to be in pretty bad condition." His voice was low and controlled as he was focused on the task at hand. "Damn it, where's Hiei?" He needed someone quick to get Genkai, but it looked like Jaime would be the quickest. "Jaime, go get Genkai and tell her what's going on. I know she is far more versed in healing than I am." At that he turned back to the woman, frustrated, as Jaime flew off towards the temple.  

[lucky_elf]

"I know very minimal healing, but it's worth a shot. the healing I know transfers the wounds to the healer" Rose said as she placed her hands over the girls heart as they started to glow faintly which caused a few of the bruises to shrink. This was how she healed her brother when they fought, but of course she also had the use of certain rare herbs that grew near her old home.  

[Homicidal Love]

Momentarily Kurama's eyes widened with shock as he took her hands away from the foreign girl. His grip was gentle but firm in a way that would let her know that he was serious. "Rose, there is no need for that. Her condition isn't life threatening as long as Genkai shows up and its your first day of training, its pointless to harm yourself before that." At that he took a firm look at her as Genkai came in and took over, he didn't want to do that to her but she needed to understand.  

[lucky_elf]

"Alright" Rose said as she took her hands from him only to give him a hug. She understood that he was just trying to keep her from being harmed and it was her first day so that had it's role too. She was happy that he cared for her that much. Letting him go she gave him a smile. before watching what Genkai was doing.

Seconds after Genkai showed up, Hiei did with a bloody sword in one hand and a couple of demon heads in the other. Silently dropping the heads he wiped the blood from his blade before sheathing it. letting out a grunt he went to the nearest corner and leaned against it, watching the scene silentely.  

[Homicidal Love]

With glowing hands Genkai worked over the kitsune female. It seemed odd, almost as if something didn't make sense, about this girl; but that would have to wait for later. As her frown and her eyes never left the newcomer, the elder began to address her wards. "Rose, Jaime, finish cooking breakfast. The rest of you, set up the arena for training. Regardless of this little interuption we will train." Her voice was firm, uncontestible.

A gentle touch on Rose's shoulder and a smile was all Jaime could offer as the two left for the kitchen, leaving the men to their tasks. "I can't believe what's going on..." Her voice was dry, vacant of its previous fiery bubble, and quiet.

Before Jaime had sheparded her off, Kurama gave Rose's shoulders a slight gentle squeeze so she would know he wasn't ignoring her. Once she was gone, wihtout addressing Genkai, he left with his fellow males to set up the practice arena.

Once her eyes began to flutter open she felt the brush of a leaf against her eyelashes. A slight smirk slipped onto her lips as she recalled how ridiculous she was acting. These "feelings" could all be explained through the oddly stress-filled days she had been having recently. She had overloaded, was all. Sitting up, the cool stone pressed against her back, the girl looked around and nothing seemed to change.

After standing the woman quickly returned home, acknowledging the others' presense with a nod as she stole away to her library. It was time for one of her favorite plays. Though she had never heard the music for it, and she had never dared play it for fear of destroying the perfection, she loved to read it. "The Phantom of the Opera" it was called, and she found an odd attraction to it. As her slender hand gently grasped the literature she curled her legs under her in her favorite chair. Relaxation and familiarity was what she needed.
