Chapter 1- Dreams

It was pitch black all around him, he tried to move but he couldn't, it was like his body was frozen, the blackness was all around him, almost consuming him…then a small beam of light appeared, then it grew a little larger, then stopped, he tried to move towards the light, but as he tried so hard to move, it disappeared once again. He stopped and tried to turn and look around, but the darkness looked the same at every angle, there was nothing but the deepest depths of darkness…

The beam of light appeared again, on him, but it was bigger than last time it seemed to quell the darkness from everywhere around him, there was a figure in the light too, but he didn't seem to notice it, as he managed to spread an arm to reach to the rays of light, feeling there warmth on his hand, almost like a child when they try to catch a snowflake or a drop of rain.

Suddenly the figure in the light spoke, bringing his attention back to the figure "Y…Yusuk...e" The figure's cracked, dry voice rasped out, the boy's eyes locked with the figure's next to him, it was gasping for breath, his skin unnaturally pale, and sweat was beading on his forehead. "Yusuke…H…elp…m…me…please…"

He blinked and stared at the figure sadness and pain overwhelming him, he looked at the figure sadly before slowly trying to walk towards the figure. "…Kuwabara…" Yusuke breathed, his eyes brimming with unshed tears, then just as Yusuke reached out to touch him, Kuwabara faded before his eyes.

It was, at this point that Yusuke Urameshi woke up screaming. Yusuke was breathing hard, he blinked and turned on his bedside lamp, looking around his room, nothing seemed out of place. Yusuke groaned and squeezed his eyes shut, the vision of Kuwabara fading, why did it scare him so much?

"It's just a stupid dream" Yusuke said to himself as he raked a hand through is hair "It wasn't real it was just a dream…" Yusuke looked at his digital clock and groaned to himself, it was 6:30 in the morning, and now there was NO way he was going to be able to get back to sleep again.

The dark haired spirit detective sighed and swung out of bed and padded to the bathroom for a shower. He stripped and stepped in the shower, the warm water relaxing him a little as he thought more about his dream. 'What was that? I've never dreamed anything like that before...nothing as real as that…could…could it be some kind of premonition?' Yusuke shook his head as soon as he had thought it, it was very rare for dreams to turn into premonitions, and he doubted his dream was any different.

'But why Kuwabara of all people? I mean sure he's my best friend…But why him?' Yusuke shook his head again, in truth there probably was no real reason, his dream could have easily been about Kurama, or Keiko. 'And I'm, not telling anyone, I mean there's no need, not only that I'd know how they'd react, Koenma would be skeptical, as would Hiei, Kurama would frown and look worried, while Kuwabara would just laugh and pretend to die every 10 seconds, and NEVER let me live it down!'

Yusuke switched the shower off and stepped out, wrapping a fluffy blue towel around his waist and headed back to his bed room to get dried and changed, by the time he'd done this, it was just before 7:25 am Yusuke sighed and grabbed his bag before he headed downstairs to grab some breakfast. After he had made himself some cereal and tea he went and sat down in front of the TV in the living room, to watch the morning news. As he munched on his toast the news reader flashed up again.

"This just in, small groups of school children from over 15 schools have been wandering around dazed, disorientated, giddy and confused, it seems these children are under them influence of a new drug, but what it is remains unknown, also who and where these children got this drug from remains unknown" Then The newsreader turned to a live link of one of the school's headmasters, but Yusuke had switched the channel off out of his mind, for the moment as he sipped on his tea.

'Hmm…a new drug? Its strange why target small groups of school children? Why didn't they just target the one school? Why small groups of kids from different schools?' Yusuke thought about it for a moment but couldn't come up with and answer.

When he'd finished Yusuke dumped his plate and mug in the sink, before picking his bag up again and headed towards his front door, he opened it and nearly banged into Kuwabara, who looked like he was ready to knock on the door.

Yusuke however didn't expect his friend here, after he'd had such a vivid dream and nearly jumped a mile. "Kuwaabara-kun! You almost gave me a heart attack! Don't you knock? Kuwabara blinked then burst out laughing. Yusuke frowned and punched his friend lightly on the shoulder.

"I'm sorry Yusuke, but the look on your face!" Kuwabara said while still laughing, Yusuke sighed and rolled his eyes as hid best friend recovered from his laughing fit, and his heart beat return to normal.

Kuwabara smiled at Yusuke and shook his head "When you opened the door I WAS about to knock you up out of bed…but that usually takes my 50 attempt, and me nearly breaking you door down to get you up…hey why are you up so early for once?"

Yusuke shut the door to his house and blinked at the question, swallowing hard, on one hand he had this urge to tell his best friend what happened, but on the other his pride didn't want the humiliation of Kuwabara laughing at him all day…in the end, his mind settled on a compromise.

"I just had…a dream that's all it's what woke me up so early" Yusuke muttered as he and Kuwabara began walking to school. Kuwabara frowned for a moment as he thought about what Yusuke said. "A dream?...What KIND of dream?" Yusuke mentally groaned at this; he should have known Kuwabara, of all people would ask that.

The dark haired teenager shrugged "I don't know I can't remember it, all I know is that it woke me up at 6:30 this morning" Kuwabara chuckled and patted his friend gently on the back.

"Don't worry about it, I'm sure it's nothing serious" Kuwabara said Yusuke nodded but sighed worried 'I wonder Kuwabara, if you'd have said that…if I told you that I dreamed about you?' Yusuke shook his head as the two teenagers continued down the road, and they spotted Kurama further ahead off them.

"Hey Suichi!" Kuwabara yelled, Kurama/Sucichi turned in surprise and smiled at the two, he waved at them to catch up to him, and the two sprit detectives ran to Kurama, just then Yusuke's communicator went off, Yusuke pulled it out and Koenma's face lit up the screen "What is it pacifier breath" Yusuke said smirking at the enraged look on the Spirit world leaders face.

"I have a mission for you for after school, Hiei is to meet you in the local park, you'll get a portal to my office and I'll give you the full details, understood?" Yusuke sighed and nodded before closing the communicator.

"You guys get that?" Both Kuwabara and Kurama nodded as they continued to school, when Kuwabara and Yusuke finally reached Sarayashiki High, Kurama parted with them and headed to his own school "Ill meet you here after school" He said quietly, and with a last wave he headed off to his own school. Yusuke sighed and shook his head as he and Kuwabara trudged into school.

Now despite Kuwabara acting a little dumb a lot of the time (A/N: No shit LMAO!) Kuwabara knew something was bothering his friend, he didn't know what it was, but he'd never seen his friend so worried about something before. "Yusuke, are you sure you okay?" Yusuke blinked and looked at Kuwabara.

Yusuke smiled and waved his comment away "I'm fine Kuwabara-Kun I was just thinking about something that's all" Kuwabara nodded not entirely convinced, but he wasn't going to push his friend into telling him. "Well okay! Yusuke, Ill see you at lunch!" Kuwabara said, he nodded and patted his friend on the back before heading to his first class of the morning, while Yusuke walked to his math class resisting the urge to skip class.

"Yusuke!" Yusuke turned to see Kieko He smiled at her gently as she ran up to him "Well well Yusuke Urameshi is on time for class for once" She giggled at his glaring look "Com on Yusuke, take a joke!" Yusuke nodded and smiled a little, but Keiko could tell something was up. "Yusuke what's wrong?" He shrugged a little.

"Nothing Keiko I just got up too early for my liking" Kieko smiled and shook her head, with a look that just said 'Typical Yusuke', suddenly the bell rang signaling the first class of the day. "Oops I gotta go I have Science! Bye Yusuke!" Then Keiko ran off waving, Yusuke shook his head and headed to classroom it going to be a loooong day…

Hooray! I finished the first chapter! I hope you all like it! I'd like to point out that Kuwabara and /Yusuke will NOT be getting together in this part, this is merely the begging of what leads up to there relationship. Also if you would like Hiei Kurama as a sub pairing, or any other pairing, I'm open to options: ) see you in the next chapter!
