The first two chapters are just like a booster for the upcoming story. So I'm sorry if the first two are sort of... um.. slow I guess you could say. :) But I hope you all can keep reading!

I sit in my usual spot: outside the fox's window on the thick tree branch that I've come to like so much. Does he know I'm always here? I don't know. I don't think I really care. But I always wonder what he would think if he knew I watched him sleep every night. I don't want to know. If he knows I am here, he never shows it. Either that or he just doesn't care.

It sickens me how I can love one being so much. What is it about him that attracts me? Why have I always found great contentment it just simply watching him walk home from school, or when he sleeps? I could be doing much better things with my time then this. Like training, or focusing my energy, or maybe working on controlling that damn dragon. But is that what I would rather be doing? No. I'd rather be sitting out in the cold - which I don't find uncomfortable - watching the fox sleep.

He has completly taken over my mind. I think about him all the time, and I hate the stupid dreams his presence gives me. I've woken up in sweat before. It annoys me. Very much it annoys me.

So with him invading my mind and subconsciousness, he even has to invade my sight. I've seen him in many spots when he's not really there, and it's pissing me off. Why must I think about him in such a way?

I am startled out of my daydreams when my sensitive demon ears pick up a rustle from within his room. He had adjusted his position, so now he is facing my direction. His face looks so peaceful. The sheets draped gently over his lithe form, he looked like a child. His chest moved gently up and down with soft breaths, the two locks that always hung in front of his ears were curved around his chin. His knees were slightly bent, his fists were balled next to his face...

Suddenly I realize what I'm doing - again - and growl deep in my throat. Why do I continue to stare and daydream - picking apart everything about the fox at that moment? I wonder frantically, again becoming angry at myself.

Maybe it was because I wasn't getting enough of him lately. I don't know. Well sure, I havn't actually talked with him in quite a while. The last time was before we had split up from our last mission: to find and exterminate an A-class demon from the human world. We ended up having to travel to Russia to find it. But once there, killing it was easy. Then we flew back to Japan and went our separate ways, as usual.

Yusuke went back to his regular life's schedual, as did Kuwabara, who frequently visited Genkai's temple where Yukina was currently staying. This angered me, but I guess I don't have any say in who Yukina ends up with. Though that thick-headed oaf still has no clue that she is my sister.

Kurama left for home, as usual, and continued to study for the upcoming college entrance exams. Yusuke and Kuwabara had no intention of continuing school. They just wanted a simple life with their girls: Yusuke had Keiko and Kuwabara had Yukina. Sometimes I wish I had a life that simple. But my life would never be like that. Several demons wanted my tear gem, and would hunt me down whenever I was in Makai, but for some odd reason that never stopped me from going back. I would always consider Makai my home. I just wish the fox still did.

Maybe watching the fox also cleared my mind of my other troubles in life. I could just simply sit and watch. He seemed to not have a care in the world, and for some reason that feeling would rub off on me, and I would try my best to enjoy it while I could.

Finally after another three hours of contentedly watching the beautiful fox sleep, I myself drifted into a light sleep, which was again filled with disturbing dreams of the fox, which deep inside I wished would come true, I just didn't know it yet.
