Summary: Every man has his secret sorrows which the world knows not; and often times we call a man cold when he is only sad~Henry Wordsworth Longfellow

Everyone has their secrets;some more dangerous than others. That seems like case when Yusuke and the gang run into two young women's starting a fight at bar in the Makai. It's been a year and a half since the last Makai tournament. Yusuke was fired by Koenma along with the rest of the group. He's been trying to live a somewhat normal life. Then out of the blue Botan was sent to get Yusuke and to bring him to Koenma. Koenma rehires him along with Kuwabara. They were sent on their 'first' mission. During their mission they meet up with Kurama and Hiei. They stopped at a near by village trying to get more information at a small bar. Before they could head inside a fight breaks out in the bar. That's were they meet Miyu and Hana. Little did they know to this chance encounter could expose dark secrets that could endanger their lives and the lives of the Ningenkai all together.

Prologe: Winter

Winter…I absolutely detest that word. Whenever I say that word its like venom in my mouth- No more like acid to be more accurate. I suppose I have no honest reason why to hate that word, other than I hate the season itself. That season is the most predominant season of my homeland. 9 months out of the year it's winter back home. My people usually make jokes about our unusual seasonal pattern. They say that we only have three main seasons, those are 'winter is coming, winter is here, and winter is around the corner again.' Sure the snow is pretty, but you get tired of it after about two weeks.

To some people winter is when nature is at its most so called "beauty". To me winter signifies nature's death. Everything is dead, trees are stripped of there beautiful leaves, so that they can at least have a fighting chance of surviving our harsh winter. I believe that "That" season is going to be the death of my homeland, freezing it over soon.

Unlike the Koorime's my people are much warmer than they are. With much pride I can say that our hearts haven't frozen completely over; but consequently due to the climate of our lands I'm well aware that our hearts are going to soon be like the Ice Maidens…Ice cold stones. Unable to feel compassion. I can already feel it within myself, I can feel the ice slowly creeping across my heart; inch by inch. Year by year I can feel myself growing colder to those around me.

That is the ultimate reason why I hate winter…

"Mommy, Mommy, Mommy!"

"Yes, sweetheart?"

"Look what I can do!" The young girl shouted. There was no need to shout since her mother was only a few feet away. She probably shouted because she liked to hear her own voice, she was at that age that she liked to hear herself talk. The young girl extended her forearms to expose that the palms of her hands were glowing light blue. The young girl scrunched her face as if she just tasted a fowl tasting object. The palms of her hands grew more illuminescent. Then out of the light blue light, ice like crystals slowly formed above the palms of her hands. The diamond shaped ice crystals floated a couple of inches above her hands. The young girl smiled "You see this Mommy?" she squealed. She looked at the small ice crystals with much amusement. She finally learned unlocked her ice abilities, which she inherited from her parents. Finally, She felt part of the family again. Even though she was still young she absolutely hated the fact that she couldn't manipulate ice like the majority of the clan members and like the rest of her family, but she finally did it.

Her mother crouched down to her daughter's height. She gave a small laugh while placing both her hands together in a fashion that made it look like she was praying. "I'm so proud of you honey" She said while placing her left hand on her daughters head. "You are?" The young girl questioned her mother. She knew deep down that her mother was proud of her, but she just wanted to hear her mother's verbal conformation.

Her mother let out a giggle; she reached over to grab her young daughter to place her on her lap. Once her daughter was sitting on her lap she wrapped her arms around her daughter to give her a tight hug. "I'm always proud of you" she said warmly to her daughter. "I know, but mommy can you let go of me. I can't breathe… Your boobies are squishing me!"

"Oh! I'm sorry sweetie; I didn't mean to squish you!"

"Its okay Mommy, I forgive you!" Giggled the young girl.

The girl's mother reached into her kimono sleeve, she then proceeded to pull out a teal colored crystal bracelet. The bracelet sparkled in the rays of light that the sun gave off. "I want you to have this." Her mother proceeded to grab her daughter's arm. She slowly slipped the bracelet on her daughters arm.

The young girl was awed with the beauty of the bracelet. She never had seen such a thing. Her mother wasn't the one to neither wear jewelry nor own it. So it was a surprise for her to see her mother pull a bracelet out of her sleeve as if it was magic. "This bracelet was my mother's, she gave me it when I was 12 years old. I protected it with my life. So now I'm giving it to you. Promise me that you'll never take it off and you'll protect it and cherish it." The young girl looked at the bracelet that was now on her wrist. She smiled and looked back at her mother. "I promise Mommy!"

The young girl wrapped her arms around her mothers as if they were vines. Her mother smiled and hugged her daughter back. She then picked up her daughter and placed her on the floor. "Come with me daughter, we need to start on making necessary preparations before winter comes." She placed her hand on her daughters head. Her fingers slowly twisted through her daughter's snow white hair, carefully caressing the soft waves that defined her daughter's hair. The young girl purred as her mother petted her head, her animal like ears lay against her head as her fluffy white tail wagged back and forth from the joy of being petted. The hand that once petted her head slowly moved down her neck on to her back. She looked up to see her mothers face smiling down on her, her mothers smile made her feel the unusual warmth inside her tiny body. Her mother guided her out the door of their house, they both went out to start preparing, for like what her mother said before "winter is coming soon"
