authors note: I obviously do not own any of the characters form Yu Yu Hakushou. The first chapter is rather short, as it is only a prologue And I am trying to figure out the formatting still ( for some reason it's not letting me indent)

Reviews are appreciated and welcomed.

Footsteps echoed in the dark alley and her harsh breathing sounded incredibly loud to her own ears. The girl quickly rounded a corner almost slipping on the wet street, she didn't risk looking behind her, why bother she already knew they were there. Her only chance was to keep running towards a more populated area, hopefully then she would be able to loose her pursuers in the crowds.

Her long hair was plastered to her face and back from the rain and her limbs felt incredibly heavy. How long had she been running? She couldn't remember, and the girl cursed herself once again for letting her guard slipped. She had stayed in this city far too long, got comfortable when she knew the only thing that kept her alive was the fact that she was always on the move, running from the slightest shadow.

Where too now though? That was the question, she had been bouncing around Japan and in and out of the Makai for years now. It never mattered how far she ran though, they always found her. She had noticed this group a few days ago, waiting outside the apartment complex she was staying at trying to get a glimpse if her. It didn't matter that they had camouflaged themselves to appear human, their stares had said enough. She had been on the receiving end of those hungry, searching stares many times and it never failed to send her briefly through panic though she hid it well.

Her own change in appearance had bought her some time at first, they were confused when the she had emerged with her dark brown locks and brown eyes, looking much like every human girl around here. She wore long, ill fitting clothing to hide her build and any distinguishing marks that could give her away.

Their confusion gave her enough time to make a plan to sneak away unnoticed, but she was careless and gave them too little credit. Which was why she was running down these dark streets now, she was pulled out of her thoughts by a large figure bursting out of a side street and slamming her up against the brick wall.

The first thing she noticed was that his breath smelt terrible as he let out a dark laugh at her predicament.

"Got you now you little bitch."

She said nothing, but instead studied the way his body was positioned pinning her to the wall. She would need to break his hold on her before his friends showed up. If she became outnumbered then all her running would have been worthless.

Her legs suddenly gave out and the demon, not expecting to have to hold her upright as well as against the wall loosened his grip slightly.

But that was all she needed.

She kicked out her leg smashing it into his kneecap, the demon who was already a little off balance fell forward as his leg buckled. She twisted out from under him and continued her sprint down the alley.

She could hear the others behind her much closer now, but she could also hear voices coming from the end of the alley. She slowed down and merged with the crowds of people enjoying the nightlife in the heart of the city. Quickly weaving between the crowds she went into a club that looked as if it was going to burst with the number of people within.

By the time the demons emerged from the alley there was no sign of her, they spent the rest of the night searching for her amongst the crowd, but she had not lingered. Slipping out the service entrance in the back she disappeared into the night intending to put as much distance between herself and her pursuers as she could.

Hours later she was on a bus, her mind back on the problem of her future destination. As she leaned her head on the window she thought of possible areas that she could lay low. Demon world was always a possibility, but she ruled it out almost as soon as she thought of it. Finding a portal was always a pain in the ass and the tables would be turned, she would have to slink around and they would be in their element. At least here the demons tracking her had to be discreet in order to avoid the interest of spirit world now that they had taken an active interest in the safety of humans. She had heard the whispers about Koenma's spirit detective, most who spoke of him did so with disgust or fear, but not her, just his prescience in this world was enough to deter demons who wanted to do her harm.

Actually, she smiled, this might be the solution to her problems. She had heard rumors about where the spirit detective and his group resided and had avoided the area like the plague. She didn't want his attention just as much as the demons chasing her did, but she could hide herself much better than they could. If she could live right under the nose of the detective than his presence in the city would keep demons away from her as well. Yes, it was risky but everywhere was risky for her now.

With her mind made up she relaxed against the seat and let her eyes close as the rumbling of the bus put her to sleep.
