Alright. New story. PLEASE REVIEW! I bet many people read my fics, buy none review! ;; so, I need your help. Review, and I'll love you.

Disclaimer: I don't own Yu Yu Hakusho. I only own Kanoyame, my character. But still, that isn't a lot…

Beautiful Dreams
Chapter One

1988, Makai


Kanoyame stared at the roaring orange obis before her. Soon enough, the eruption of flames had surrounded her horror-stricken body. Her nose was flooded with the scent of ashes and smoke, and her tiny body could feel the heat of the flames scinging her clothes and tail.

She clamped her deep pools of grey, otherwise known as eyes, shut, waiting for her fate to be known.

But it never came.

Instead, as the flames drew closer around her, she felt two strong arms suddenly wisk her away from the roaring fire. When she finally opened her eyes, two golden ones stared back at her.

The man had long silver hair, a silver fox tail, and silver ears. "What were you doing there, young one?" he asked gently.

Kanoyame was still too shocked to speak. Yet, the man patiently waited for her answer.

About ten minutes or so, she finally opened her mouth and said, "I was running."

His tail swished in amusement. "Oh?"

She took a deep breath before continuing, "A huge lightening storm happened right after a good friend of mine read my diary. That's what started the fire. And that's how I didn't get hurt."

The man nodded, still highly amused. "Is that how it happened. I see. Come, young one…"

She interrupted him. "My name is Kanoyame. You can call me Kana."

"Of course," he replied with a slight nod. "My name is Youko Kurama. And I shall be your guardian."

Present Time, Tokyo, Japan

Kana leapt off the subway and charged up the escalator, possibly knocking innocent bystanders over in the process. "Outta my way!" she yelled, leaping gracefully over people's heads, and weaving through crowds. It was quite funny, if you are picturing it the way I am.

Anyway, she only slowed down when she finally made it to the front lawn of Sarayashiki Junior High. Kana flopped down onto the grass, propping herself up with her hands.

Soon enough, a medium guy with black hair, pale skin, and eerie blue eyes stood over above her. Kana cocked her head backwards, looking into his deep pools of blue with her own grey ones.

"Hello, Kisho," she said boredly.

He grunted, sitting down next to her. "Hey."

"We're getting a new transfer student today. I hear he's one of Urameshi's friends," he stated, his eyes never leaving some imaginary spot in front of him.

Kisho was very dark. He never wore the school's uniform. But, the teacher had gotten an excuse slip from his parents (some how he had convinced them that he had to wear his own clothes) so he could wear his own clothing and not the schools.

At last, the bell rang, and the two friends stood, walking in silence to their first class. Kana, being as curious as she was, looked at what he was wearing today. Really baggy black pants, and a black tee shirt…same as yesterday. She was hoping that there would be some logo on his shirt today, but no avail.

She gave him a small wave before entering her classroom (A-1). She stopped, her eyes landing on Yusuke Urameshi and Kazuma Kuwubara, who were probably her only 'friends' in the class.

They were sitting near a kid with spikey black hair that she had never seen before.

Raising an eyebrown, Kana took her seat next to Yusuke. "Who's that?" she asked automatically.

Yusuke looked at her and then Hiei. "Oh, the shrimp? That's just Hiei," he responded, obviously not very concerned with the new student.

Kisho was right. He was a friend of Yusuke.

Kuwubara leaned over and said, "Yeah. He's not very talkative. So, if he doesn't answer you, it probably means he hates you." He nodded, obviously very assured of his theory.

Hiei, however, glared at the two imbisules. "You two better stop. Or mock my words, you will regret it."

The two instantly shut up. Damn, this kid had some power, even though he was short…

…Actually, he was taller than she was. She grumbled. Even the new kid's taller than I am! She thought with a growl.

Hiei, as if hearing the thought, smirked, and looked out the window.

Present time, Outskirts of Tokyo, Kana's house

It was instant.

Kana walked into the house, dropped her bag on the table, and made a sandwich. Then she would take a nice hot bath, or sometimes, when she was especially sore, go out into the hot springs. Then it was pure bliss when she crawled into the warmth of the futon.

But not tonight.

There was a loud knock on the door just as she was sliding into bed. With reluctance, she got up, and walked over to the door, and slid it opened. She had one of those old-type houses. She had came upon it one day. It was simply an old temple. Yet, she had made it her home.

Yusuke, Hiei, Kuwubara, and Kurama (she hung out with the group a couple times) stood on the porch. "You're needed by Koenma," Yusuke stated simply.

-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-

How was this one? Better? I hope so. Please review! Since no one entered the contest, my friend's character, Kisho, won by default. But if someone wants to enter one for Evil Games, I'd be happy to put one there.

Ciao!
