A/N: I'm only gonna say this once...I don't own the original Yu Yu stuff otherwise I'd have money. Furthermore, since I has no money you can assume suing me would get you approximately...zip. Now...This is the first in a much larger story of my OC Kokoro Yuki. She'll be paired with Kurama...because I love that fox to death. Later on I'm sure I'll have some lovin' for Hiei too cause he's loved immediately after Kurama. Yep yep. Anyway...enjoy
It was unheard of for someone to come all the way down to the bottom of Tarturus, the infamous jail of the Reikai. If you weren't an inmate of a jailer there was no reason to subject yourself to that sort of hopelessness. The aching desire to see sky again. And yet someone was there, standing outside of her jail door.
"I have a job for you." The person said.
Her furry ears twitched and she turned her head ever so slightly in interest. She could just barely see a shadowy figure through her curtain of white hair. Her icy blue eyes glowed for a moment before she smirked. How fortuitous.
Alarms were shrieking and flashing in a strobe-like fashion when Yusuke and Kuwabara arrived at Koenma's office. The toddler of a prince was flying from one corner to another in a panic. "Ahhh! My dad's gonna kill me!!!" He screamed tears streaming down his cheeks dramatically.
"Have anything to do with the sirens killing my eardrums?" Yusuke asked rubbing his ear with annoyance.
George sighed and nodded. He reached over to Koenma's desk and pressed a few buttons and the alarms died off almost instantly. "Please calm down, Lord Koenma!" He said turning to the still panicking ruler.
Koenma instantly rounded on him. "Calm down?! Calm down!? One of the most notorious criminals in the Makai just escaped and you want me to calm down?!!?" He screeched in disbelieve.
"I think the sirens were better…" Yusuke muttered.
Kuwabara nodded in agreement. "Yeah…"
"Who escaped Koenma?" Yusuke asked after a minute of watching the baby tear up and mutter about how he wouldn't be able to sit down for months.
Koenma jumped up onto his chair and grabbed his remote. "A demon by the name of Kokoro Yuki." He said pointing the remote to the large screen across the room. Instantly a mug shot appeared; a picture of a Vixen with long white hair and cold intelligent blue eyes. She wore blue lip-gloss and mascara but other than that no make up marred her pale white skin.
"She looks kinda like Kurama…dont'cha think?" Kuwabara asked scratching his head in confusion.
"You're only saying that 'cause she's a fox with white hair." Yusuke pointed out dully. Other than those two similarities there wasn't much common ground in the looks department. Yuki had a distinctly more heart-shape to her face and her eyes were piercing blue. Her nose was smaller and her lips fuller. And even their hair wasn't really the same. Silver verses stark white.
"Yes, she is a fox." Koenma agreed. "And as such she has a pension for taking things that don't belong to her…But she's been in jail for the past four centuries so I highly doubt there's any relation."
"What was she in jail for?" Yusuke asked.
Koenma scrolled through a few pages of text before answering. "Ah…she was imprisoned for murdering a high ranking official of spirit world. Though of course she claims she didn't do it." A small screen appeared in the middle of the television and a video started playing.
A large room filled with ogres in black robes. In the middle of the room Yuki was standing with heavy manacles around her arms and a thick collar around her neck. Her white ears twitched at the murmurings that were going on around her. "For once, Enma I must decline to say 'guilty'. Find someone else to use as your scapegoat…I didn't do this one."
"All the evidence points to her!" Someone shouted.
She frowned slightly "Can't a crook tell the truth without being called a liar?"
"It's not a very large leap from crook to murderer." A booming voice pointed out.
"Perhaps not…but I haven't made it." She said not bothering to look at the ogres around her. She straightened a fraction, standing just a bit taller. "I may be a criminal but I had no reason to kill the ningen. He wasn't worth the effort. I could have gotten away from an amateur like him easily. I just had the misfortune of arriving just before your agents did."
"Maybe she was hired to kill him!" A person in the crowd suggested.
Yuki rolled her eyes. "Yes of course…because everyone knows I'm such the little mercenary. If I had taken a job like that, which I didn't, don't you think that I'd give you the name of who employed me if only to reduce my sentence? Please, don't insult me by implying I have no brain."
The video ended and the small screen shrunk back down to nothing. "I'm guessing they didn't believe her…" Yusuke said as he turned back to Koenma.
"They had no reason to. All the evidence pointed to her. And she'd gotten out of convictions before by double talking the jury so they weren't about to listen to her about things like that." Koenma said. "Point is…SHE'S ESCAPED!!!! You've gotta capture her again before she decides to try and take revenge!"
Yusuke and Kuwabara exchanged a look. "It's only one demon…" Yusuke pointed out blandly. They've handled worse after all.
"One demon who has a secret stash of dangerous artifacts that could possibly rival the King's Vault!" Koenma corrected. "That's how we got the Forlorn Hope! She was captured once before for a small offence and she traded her freedom for it! Can you imagine what else she could have hidden away!"
"…what class is the Yuki anyway?" Yusuke asked slightly more wary than before.
"Eh…I think at the moment she's a low B." Koenma said with a dismissive wave. "But she did just escape a energy dampening cell so it'll probably change the longer she's out. I have Botan looking for Hiei in the Makai. You'd better go and get Kurama and fill him in too. He might actually have heard of Yuki…bandits tend to at least know of each other. If only by reputation…"
"Alright, alright…we'll go grab the fox and get right on it." Yusuke said sounding annoyed at the whole thing.
"One more thing." Koenma said before the two detectives could leave. "There's evidence that another demon helped Yuki escape. We don't know for sure but keep it in mind that you might have to fight two of them."
"Right, right." Yusuke said absently. "It said we're on it Pacifier-breath."
"YUSUKE!!"
