Hi, everybody! I am Cute Little Foxy, and this is my Yami no Matsuei fic, Precious Memories! (I know the title sucks, but give me a break. I usually just title my fics as whatever the two main characters names are, so just deal with it. I can change the title later.)

Summery: Tsuzuki and Hisoka rescue a strange young boy from a Devil, only to find that the boy has no memory! Not of the fight that transpired just an hour or so before, how old he is, where he's from, or even his own name! Who is this boy?! Why is his memory gone?! What will happen to him if he can't get his memory back?! I suck at summaries! But I promise it'll be better than it sounds! So there!

There are a few things I'd like to point out here. Although the name of the child in this story is the same as a character in Yu Yu Hakusho, this is NOT a crossover story. I borrowed the name and hair color, but other than that, there is really no resemblance. Oh, the boy is about four feet tall and if you've kept up with the manga on Mangafox, his hair is not quite as long as Kurikara's but if you think about him, you'll get the right idea. If you've never read the manga (What's wrong with you?!), then just take a quick look at volume 11. Kurikara is all over in that one. And YES, the kid is a BOY (You'll understand why I say that in a bit, just be patient). What else . . . ? Um . . . Right, the two wolves are big. And I mean BIG! We're talking the size of a VERY large horse.

All right, I'm gonna give you a quick desciption of the kid. So, he's a boy, obviously. He looks a LOT like Kurama from Yu Yu Hakusho (But he is not the Kurama from Yu Yu Hakusho. Don't make that mistake.). He's around four feet tall. His hair is red and can reach his ankles when it's braided (He REALLY needs a haircut, huh?). The front part of it hangs in his face. His voice should probably be played by a girl if this were an anime (His voice squeaks a little sometimes, too, and it gets higher pitched the louder he gets.). And the thing that sets him apart from Kurama in YuYu Hakusho is that his eyes are NOT green. They are a silvery pale-blue (Pretty, huh? If you can visualize it. I worked for hours once trying to make the perfect siver blue color for a school project using colored pecils. I have never been able to get the same color again, which is sad because it was soooo beautiful . . . *cries*). Okay . . . so this wasn't so short. Sorry. I'm gonna try to draw him, and I'll let you know if I manage it. If I do, I'll let you know how to see it. But don't ask me for it, 'kay? I'll let you know if I manage to get it done. I promise.

Warnings: The very beginning is a little suckish. For that, I am sorry. *bows* I think I started this fic in geography class. I am rating this fic "M" for swearing, several uses of the word "rape", and, eventually . . . Muraki (I don't know how he's going to fit into this story just yet, but if he's in it, it almost certainly has to be rated "M". O.o)

Okay, what next . . . ? Oh, right!

Disclaimers: I don't own Yami no Matsuei or Yu Yu Hakusho (I felt it was necessary to include YYH since I mentioned it above and since I'm borrowing the boy's name). If I did own either of them, 1.) There would have been A LOT more episodes of Descendants of Darkness (According to the actual author, there WERE going to be 26, but the producers in Japan cut it to, what, 13? That bunch of meanies.) 2.) Yu Yu Hakusho would have had a lot more Kurama and Youko in it (Hell, it probably would have been ALL about him/them!) and 3.) The Yu Yu Hakusho series would have actually FINISHED in America. That's right folks, apparently the producers here in America thought it would be okay to end the series the way it did. If you want more info, contact littlefoxling101. Foxling has more info than I do.

Alrighty then. That's about it, so let's get on with the fic!

Oops! One more warning! You are being dropped right into the middle of a fight scene between Tsuzuki and Hisoka, and a Devil about to eat a kid that they think is a girl! Oh, and the Devil thing looks like a GIANT centipede. Okie dokie? Now then, on with the fic! Here's Precious Memories! Enjoy!

Precious Memories

Chapter 1

Tsuzuki shot a blast of fire at the Devil. The monster was trying to devour what appeared to be a young girl, and he'd be damned to the deepest depths of Hell if he was going to let that happen. The creature struck out with its tail, but Tsuzuki managed to jump back an instant before it connected, the spear-like tip smashing straight into the ground where'd just been standing. Tsuzuki shot another blast of Fuda at it, hoping to draw it away from the tiny body it seemed intent in eating. The Devil followed him, but it still wasn't quite far enough away from the child. He shot yet another blast of fire at the monster, this time hitting along the segments of its back. It was just enough to finally get the beasts attention and draw it another few feet from the girl. It reared back, preparing for a counter-attack, which was exactly the opening Tsuzuki had been waiting for.

"Hisoka, now!"

The blond boy made a mad dash for the child, but the creature spotted him before he could get to her. The monstrous centipede swung the back half of its body around, striking Hisoka squarely in the center of his chest and sending him flying back in the opposite direction.

"Hisoka!" Tsuzuki screamed.

The blond boy landed hard on a patch of packed dirt and then didn't move. (Ouch! That's gotta hurt! Sorry, Hisoka!)

Tsuzuki was torn. He wanted to save the child, but he also wanted to make sure Hisoka was all right. And he couldn't do both at once! What was he supposed to do?

When he saw the centipede Devil's massive jaws about to close around the unconscious child's thin waist to devour her, his choice was made for him. As worried as he was about Hisoka, he couldn't let this girl be killed, or worse, turned into a Devil as well. He'd already let that happen once . . .

He shot yet another bolt of magic at the creature, hitting it square at its jaws and knocking its head sideways. He knew his attack wasn't strong enough to kill the monster, but an attack that would kill it would also vaporize the child, which was something he hoped to avoid if at all possible.

Now Tsuzuki made an attempt to reach the injured child, and received a vicious blow from the creature's poison-tipped tail in return for his efforts. Then the monster turned on him, apparently deciding that a Guardian of Death would make a much better meal than a human child.

Well, at least he had its attention. But the poison was spreading through his body very quickly, and he hurt far too much to move right now.

*~*~*~*Perspective Switch!*~*~*~*

Here's the kid's point of view now!

(You'll find out his name now.)

Kurama lifted his head up just in time to see the giant centipede strike down a brown-haired man and send them flying and then turn to devour him.

No! He couldn't let anymore innocent people get hurt because of him! Not again . . .

He struggled to his feet, fighting to untangle his legs from his long braid, and started running toward the monster, feeling energy pour into his left arm and focus into the two beads on his leather bracelet. He knew it could be dangerous to use all of his energy at one time, but he didn't have a choice in the matter.

"Silver! Wraith!"

The two mystic wolves appeared from the glass beads, immediately moving to flank the boy. They both looked at him, waiting for orders.

Stop that thing!" He pointed at the centipede. "It's gonna eat him!"

The two giant wolves leapt at the Devil, but were deflected by its tail. They both hit the ground hard, instantly returning to the form of two glistening beads. Then the centipede turned its attention back to Kurama, rushing at him as he attempted to retrieve his wolves' beads. Before he could reach them, the centipede was looming over him. He squealed, dropped to his knees, and covered his head, praying that if this thing was going to eat him, it would do it quickly. He could feel his unstable energy gathering in his tiny body, feeling like it was ready to explode.

His energy suddenly left him in a giant burst and he passed out.

*~*~*~*Perspective Switch!*~*~*~*

It's back to Tsuzuki again!

Tsuzuki could not believe what had just happened. He wouldn't have believed it if he hadn't just seen it with his own two eyes. The child had just released two demonic wolves to attack the devil, and then he'd let out a giant burst of demonic energy that had literally vaporized the Devil. He could certainly say this much about the child:

She wasn't human.

The shinigami struggled to his feet, pain making his movements sluggish and clumsy, and stumbled over to why Hisoka was sprawled on the ground. The boy was still lying, unmoving, where he'd fallen, dazed and disoriented from the impact of the hard ground. Tsuzuki laid a gently hand on his partner's shoulder.

"Hisoka? Are you all right?" He gently shook the teen's shoulder to rouse him.

The boy's eyelids flickered open and he groaned softly.

"Come on, Hisoka, you need to get up." He shook his shoulder a bit harder now.

Hisoka slowly raised his emerald eyes to the older man's face. His young body was in agony and he felt sick from the intense pain. When he'd landed, the back of his head had slammed into the ground. The throbbing pain was radiating out from the back of his skull, focusing in the center of his forehead and behind his tear-filled eyes. When Tsuzuki tried to pull him into a sitting position, he wanted to scream from the pain shooting down his neck and spine into his limbs. As it was, all he could do was manage a gasped, "Don't, Tsuzuki."

Tsuzuki gently lowered his young partner back to the ground, carefully turning the teen's head to the side to avoid any more unnecessary contact contact between the back of his skull and the packed dirt beneath him.

He knew he wouldn't be able to do much for Hisoka, so now his main concern was the young girl who'd almost become a Devil's dinner. He stumbled over to her, finding the child not too worse for wear. Her khaki shorts were tattered and her once-white T-shirt was dirty and torn (Odd clothing for a young girl, he thought.), but that didn't seem to be from tonight's incident. The girl had probably been on her own for quite a while and most likely didn't have any other clothes. Tsuzuki gently picked her up and carried her over to lay her down beside Hisoka.

And now he had yet another problem. He couldn't carry both of these two, and there was no way to tell where they might wind up if he tried teleporting them back to Meifu.*(1.) And he wasn't about to leave one of them here while he took the other one back when there could still be more Devils lurking around.

Oh, boy, was he ever in a pickle.

Oh my. This is unexpected."

Tsuzuki turned to find Watari standing behind him. "Watari!"

The blond scientist came to stand beside him. "So who is this?"

"I don't know. That Devil was attacking her."

"I wonder why. Oh well. It's a good thing you showed up to kill it."

"But I didn't kill it."

"You didn't kill it? Then where is it?!" He looked around nervously.

"It's dead," he whispered, still awestruck by what he'd just witnessed. "But I didn't kill it."

"Oh, then did Hisoka-?"

"No, not Hisoka either . . ."

"Then who-?" He caught Tsuzuki staring at the smaller figure on the ground. "Wait, this little girl . . .?!" His shocked voice trailed off.

"Yes. You should have seen it, Watari! She called out these two giant, demon wolves, and then she unleashed this huge burst of demonic energy- Oh!" He snapped his fingers when he remembered the wolves.

"What?"

Tsuzuki stood suddenly and began to search for the two beads, finding them near where he'd picked up the child.

"Hey, Watari, what are these?" He held them up and waved at Watari to come over.

"Hm?" He walked over to the older shinigami to inspect the little gems. "Oh! Those are soul beads.*(2.) Where'd they come from?"

"That kid had them. The two wolves came from these."

"But that's impossible! Only someone with demonic blood can use them. There's no way . . ." His voice trailed off, at a loss for words for once in his life.

"Well, that kid used them to summon demon wolves, so I guess we'll have to assume that she's at least part demon for the time being." Tsuzuki slipped the beads into his pocket. "But for now, let's just get those two back to the infirmary back in Meifu."

"Right." The blond man moved to pick up Hisoka.

Tsuzuki was about to protest that he could carry Hisoka, until he saw the blood soaking the back of the boy's head, caking in his golden hair. Since Watari was the closest thing that the Ministry had to a doctor right now, and Tsuzuki know next to nothing about medicine, it was probably best if he took Hisoka. Even though Hisoka did have a high healing rate, the possibility of a concussion was still a serious one that could really hurt him if he wasn't properly treated.

While Tsuzuki was thinking that over in his mind, Watari teleported away, back to the Ministry.

So now Tsuzuki was left with the young girl who was quite possibly a demon, or at least part demon. He gently picked her up, thinking how thin and fragile the child's body was. He had a feeling that this little girl was a street kid, if the filthy, ripped clothes and dirt-covered skin were any indication. And it didn't help that the poor kid was covered in exploded centipede gunk. After he took the girl to Meifu, he'd have to come back and get her some new clothes.

And with that thought, he teleported back to Meifu.

So, there it is! The first chapter of my first multi-chapter fic! Chapter two will be coming just as soon as I can get it typed. I will warn you now that it will be long, but I don't know if it will need to be split into separate chapters. It's twenty-one handwritten pages, and I'll probably and in more stuff as I type, so no clue as to how long it will actually be . . . but I do have big handwriting, so that may help shorten it.

Anywho, here's what all the little (*) and number things were for.

*(1.) Tsuzuki's powers have been acting up lately. Not sure why yet. But he's worried that the three of them might get separated during the teleporting process. That's why he's so worried about trying to teleport all three of them at once.

*(2.) Soul beads (as far as I know) are my own creation. They are, in a way, a demon's equivalent to a shikigami. They protect their demon master like shikigami protect shinigami. That's really all you need to know, so don't ask about them.

Other Notes:

Yes, once again, the kid is a BOY. He looks very much like a girl. (Much like his namesake from Yu Yu Hakusho. In fact, he looks much like Kurama from Yu Yu Hakusho, but, once again, it is not THE Kurama from Yu Yu Hakusho. His face and hair color are the only things that are the same. His personality is totally different, and his eyes are a completely different color (As stated above).)

I'm pretty sure that Watari is not an easy person to shut up, that's why I said "he was speachless for once in his life", or whatever it was.

So that's about it. Review if you want. If you don't want to you don't have to. There's not much I can do to force you, now is there? Except maybe to send the evil plot bunnies after you . . . Never mind, they're on vacation. But like I said, review if you want to. It would make me happy . . . Sorta. Oh, and if you read my first fic, "My Name Is Christmas Carol" (Yes, it's a Christmas songfic.), I will thank you with a personal PM (If you have a profile. If you don't, I'll say thanks on my profile.)

Laterz!
