Disclaimer: I don't own any of the Yu Yu Hakusho. I only own my
characters. The poem "Always" belongs to me.
Note: Kurama and Kuronue might sound out of character. I've never actually seen Kuronue. I read somewhere that he's funny and etc.
I'm using "Yoko" instead of "Kurama" for his demon form.
This story might be going a little fast. I'm going to try to explain stuff, but it's hard. I'm not that good at making up names of demons.
I'm trying a brand new idea for me. I'm putting some of my original poems in the story because the main character Hannah is supposed to want to grow up to be a poet/ author. Please tell me what you think of my idea.

*~Chapter 1~*
The soft fluttering of her dress as she ran though the forest was followed by the sound of pursuit. Her soft footsteps followed by the sound of slithering. A tentacle shot out and grasped her ankles. The monstrous creature held Hannah up, high above the ground, by her ankles. The creature was similar to an octopus or a squid. It had eight tentacles and a huge mouth in the middle of the head. The demon let go of her and Hannah screamed as she plunged toward his gaping mouth.
A shadow flickered in the moonlight as strong arms gripped her gently. Hannah felt a soft thud as they landed on the ground. She took a deep breath and discovered that she had been holding her breath the whole time. The demon that saved her held her close to him, as if to protect her.
The octopus-like demon slithered closer to the two of them. "Kuronue, she is mine. You cannot have her."
"I don't care if she's yours. I want her alive, not dead." Kuronue had long black hair in a pony tail. He could easily be mistaken for a female. His purple eyes shone in the night. He was clad in all black.
"What would Yoko say if he found out you were turning soft? Protecting a human girl?"
"He would just let me be. If you want the human so badly, come and get her." Kuronue moved himself in front of Hannah and unsheathed his blades.
The octopus-like demon shot its tentacles at Kuronue and the woods exploded in anger. Leaves, stems, thorns, and vines blasted out at the other demon. When everything settled down, the octopus-like demon was in shreds and a demon with long, silver hair and golden eyes that glowed an eerie yellow stood there.
"Kuronue, what is this? A human girl?" Yoko looked at Hannah with disgust.
"Hello to you, too, Yoko Kurama." He gave a little laugh. "Do you think it is right for someone so young to die?"
"If it means keeping someone in our gang alive, yes." Yoko stared at Kuronue.
"Then why did you kill Octi? You could have let him take her and defeat me. You know that I wouldn't risk a fight with a human so close, not when I'm trying to protect the human. He would have won easily."
"I did not want my partner dead. Octi would have mostly likely tried to kill you or devour you along with the human. You are very valuable to me."
Hannah looked from one demon to the other. "Um. Excuse me, but. Where am I? What is that thing?" She pointed to Octi.
Kuronue faked surprise. "Where are my manners? I am Kuronue and that is Yoko Kurama. That thing," He nodded in Octi's direction, "was a demon that belonged in our gang."
Hannah stared in amazement. After a minute, that look turned to fear. "Wait, you two are demons?!"
Kuronue smiled at her. "Of course, what else would we be?"
"I suggest you start running now." Yoko answered.
Hannah looked ready to bolt out of there. Kuronue punched his friend playfully. "Yoko, now don't go scaring innocent humans away. We need all the extra food we can find."
"I demand to know what you are going to do with me, but I think I already know." Hannah trailed off. She turned to run into the dark forest surrounding them.
Kuronue grabbed her hand and pulled her back. "Don't leave so soon. You haven't met our gang yet." He smiled at her.
Yoko looked exasperated. "Will you stop trying to scare her to death?"
"I enjoy doing that." Kuronue said.
"Will the two of you tell me what is going on before I smack you?!" Hannah exploded in anger. She hated being toyed with.
Kuronue grinned. "We're only toying with you. We should get down to business. First of all, what is your name and how did you get here, human?"
"I am Hannah. I don't remember how I got here. All I remember is that I fell down a hole."
Kuronue burst out laughing. "Fell down a hole! Don't you have eyes?"
Yoko couldn't help but smile.
Hannah was fuming. "It's not my fault! I didn't see the hole!"
Kuronue continued to laugh. Hannah walked up to him and her hand connected with his face. Kuronue stumbled backwards. He looked shocked. No normal human would dare to attack a demon. He stared at Hannah and found that she was glaring at him. Yoko grabbed a grass blade and leveled it with Hannah's throat. Kuronue made motions at Yoko, telling him that he was not hurt. Yoko sighed and lowered the blade.
"You're very brave, Hannah. No human would dare strike a demon in his own territory." Yoko said.
"I take that as a compliment." Hannah started pacing. "So, how do I get back home?"
"We don't really now." Kuronue scratched his head.
Hannah mumbled, "Great."
Kuronue looked back at her. "You should be grateful we saved you."
"I am, but I'd be even more grateful if you guys get me home." Hannah sighed.
Kuronue walked over to Hannah and put an arm around her shoulders. "Don't worry, we'll find a way to get you home."
Yoko stated, "It might take a while."
Hannah glared at him and replied sarcastically. "Thanks for bursting my bubble. You're so optimistic."
Kuronue looked around slowly. "I think we better go back to our camp, Kurama."
Yoko twitched his ears. "I agree. Hannah, come with us."
"What if I don't want to?" She crossed her arms across her chest stubbornly.
Kuronue and Yoko looked at each other and shrugged. They walked over to Hannah; Kuronue grabbed her arms and Yoko grabbed her legs. Together, they carried her off into the forest, her struggling the whole entire way.
As they entered a clearing with houses here and there, Hannah shouted, "Drop me this instance!"
Kuronue and Yoko shrugged and dropped Hannah. She fell on the ground with a thud. Hannah stood up, brushing herself off, and glared at the two demons.
"What was that for?" She demanded.
Kuronue smirked. "You told us to put you down this instance, so we did."
Hannah sighed. "Why couldn't someone else come and save me? Someone that's not you two."
Yoko started to walk away, toward all the other demons.
Kuronue looked at him and said, "Yoko where are you going?"
"I'm going to try to find a way to get Hannah home." He answered matter-of- factly.
Hannah took that time to explore the place. She strolled over to the trees, and looked back at the demons. A gentle breeze blew past her and she thought she heard someone call her name. Hannah ran in the direction of the noise, hoping it was a way home. After a while, she gazed at her surroundings and realized that she was lost.
"Oh great." Hannah groaned. She sat down where she was. Hannah was on a beach. "How did I get here? Oh well. It doesn't matter." The moon was shining brightly in the clear sky. The waves crashed gently onto the beach and the air was crisp. Hannah rubbed her hands together, trying to warm them. She tried calling one of the demons, "KURONUE!!!!!!!!!!!" She thought she heard someone call her name, faintly.
Hannah sighed and took out a piece of paper and a pencil, "Well, no use waiting for him. I'm gonna try to do something constructive while waiting to be saved. again." She started to write a poem. Hannah dreamed of becoming a poet and an author. If she never gets home, she would never reach her dream. She doubted that demons read books or poems. She lost track of time. Hannah jumped when she felt a hand on her shoulder. "AH!"
"Hannah, be quiet! It's only me." Kuronue tried to calm her.
"Oh. Where have you been?" Hannah asked.
"Where have I been?! I should be asking you that question!" Kuronue replied angrily.
"I'm sorry. I really didn't mean to wander off." Hannah said softly.
Kuronue softened up on her. "It's alright. Nothing bad happened. What is that in your hand?" He reached out and grabbed the paper with her new poem on it. He started reading it aloud, "The moon shines brightly,
Over the vast ocean.
Bathed in moonlight,
She stands on the beach.
Always waiting,
Always seeking, yet
Always out of her reach.
Trying her hardest to get it
But her hardest isn't good enough.
Always trying,
Always failing
But never losing sight of her dreams.
She knows if she does,
She will never be free
From the prison of nightmares
To be who she wants to be." When he finished, he handed the paper back to her, looking very shocked. "Did you write that?"
Hannah answered meekly, "Yes. I wrote it when I was waiting for you to come and save me."
"What is it called?"
"It's called "Always"" Hannah was embarrassed. No one was supposed to read that poem.
Kuronue smiled at her, "I like it."
Hannah's face lit up. "Really?"
Kuronue chuckled and took her hand. Together, they walked back to the camp full of demons.
