Iris Zella: I do not own Yu Yu Hakusho or any of the characters…even though I'd very much like to. I only own my OC!

(Oh it might be useful to know that this story takes place after the Dark Tournament and before the battle with Sensui.)

Chapter 1: Spawned

Little round things float past my face. I blink. Wait, I'm awake? I blink again to make sure. Yep, I am. Some creature opposite me blinks at the same moment I do. Hmm, would they like to be my friend? I raise a hand, it does too. I cock my head and it mimics me. Oh, it's me! A…what do you call it…reflection! A reflection of me off the inside of my space. My…what did they call it…"artificial womb". That's right. The…beings that come and talk about me. I can see them now. They don't know that I'm awake yet.

Another one comes in the room. He has funny horns on his head. He's talking, "How is my little darling?" Darling is what he calls me, I hear him in my dreams.

Another being answers him, "Just fine my lord. She's developing nicely. Later this week, we'll let her hatch."

Hatch? A new word! What does it mean? The "lord" speaks, "I can't wait to meet her. I wonder what she'll be like." Meet me? I'll get to come out! "I'm sure she'll be an excellent carrier for it." It? I'm curious now. I move a little and my short hair floats around me.

The movement causes them to notice me. The lord is surprised when I can stare him back in the eyes. I cock my head like I did to myself and smile at him. His eyes widen. He reaches up a hand and puts it on the outside of my womb. I tilt my head to the other side, and place my hand opposite his.

"You have been transferring it to her, correct?" he asks his being who nods.

"Yes, bit by bit the embryo has been infused with it," he answers.

The lord nods, "Good." He takes his hand away and walks away. I frown. No, I want to play! I reach for him, but only hit the wall. I'm…angry is the word. I pound my palms on the womb wall.

He turns. I pound again. He narrows his eyes, he is angry with me now. This does not help me. I pound harder, energy races through me, from inside me. The womb explodes.

I don't fall. This new power holds me up. I life my arms, they're covered in the goo I was living in. I look at them and stretch my fingers. I stretch out my legs for the first time, and wiggle my toes. I smile.

I realize I'm not touching the ground. Or anything. I'm in the air. I bend down and the world turns upside down as my head goes down and my feet go up. I do it again and smile more. I try to move. I can go other places in the air. How fun is this!

Soon I'm high above where I was, looking down at the little beings below me. They're all staring. I fly down and stare upside down at the man who spoke with the lord. I get closer and closer to him until finally….. boop! My nose bumps his. He yelps and jumps back and my smile widens. Funny!

"Catch her you idiot!" the lord is yelling. Loud, I don't like it.

Beings with strange faces try to grab me, I twist away, always just out of their reach. Like a game! But what is this new thing? A metal rod connected with a cord to the wall? Electricity shoots out of it and hits me! I am thrown back painfully against a wall, now I am mad. They try again to shoot me with this. Accidentally, again, a force bubble forms around me, repelling the attack. Now I'm angry. I create a bubble around the device and wrench it around, tying the rod into a knot.

I smile, I know I've won this. I must get out of here now before they try something newer, and scarier. The ceiling would stop me, somehow I use my bubble to just break through it. And I'm free. I fly away, fast, faster than I thought I could go. The sky, the wind, the earth, the air, the pure just simple pleasure of the wind across my new skin. I realize I'm surrounded by a pink glow, I just know that it is the glow of my powers. Time for some fun. I want to know what I can do.

Even though I can't even speak out loud.

They showed me video's inside the womb. I learned what things were, I think they wanted me to be able to talk when I came out. But the being said, I was not finished yet. Perhaps that is why I do not listen to them, perhaps that is why I cannot speak.

I know what I look like. I am a girl. I look like a young human adult female. But I know I am not human. I don't think human's can fly. I will have to find out.

Birds! What wondrous creatures! A…flock flies in front of me. I zoom ahead and try to pluck one right out of the air. It is too fast for me this time. A chase! The bird races around, trying to get away from me, but I'm too clever.

The bird stops in its flight, I've put a bubble around it. I move the bubble towards me and hold it in my hands. Inside, the bird is crying out for help and flapping its wings violetly. I know that feeling. I release it, I had just been inside a bubble myself, freedom is better.

Suddenly, something new! Another girl, she looks as old as I am, but her hair is…blue. She stops and stares at me with surprise. She's wearing clothes. I'm not. Woops. She flies up to me on her wooden…thing.

"Goodness gracious!" she exclaims. "Who are you?"

I cannot speak. I gesture helplessly.

"Hmm," she ponders this, "Well it doesn't matter now. Come along, I'm Boton. Let's get you a nice bath and some hot clothes." She grasps my hand. The feeling is warm, friendly. She means me no harm. I fly off with her.

ooooooooo

Bath's are fun. More bubbles, only these pop when I try to catch them. The water is nice and hot, being immersed in it reminds me of the comfort of my womb. I'm clean. The girl, Boton, was amazed at my "state" she said. A pile of clothing rests on a chair near the tub, for me to dress when I'm done.

To experiment, I make another field around some of the water and soap and hover it in the air. Bubbles within a bubble. I bounce my bubble up and down in my hands, making the water inside splash around. There's a knock on the door, I lose my focus and the bubble dissolves, dumping the water on my head.

"Um, excuse me," it's Boton. "Would you mind getting dressed now? There's someone who would like to meet you."

A new friend! I get out of the tub and dry off. I put on the clothes. I think its something called a "t-shirt" and a "skirt" along with some undergarments. I put everything on and look at my reflection in the mirror. I am taller and slimmer than Boton and the beige skirt looks good with my long legs. The shirt is a deep red but doesn't seem to clash with my eyes which Boton called turquoise. There are also little shoes that slip on my feet. I wiggle my toes in them. I run a hand through my short white hair, it's already mostly dry and it sticks up funny in places. I look at myself again, I like how I look.

I open the door and walk out into the hallway. Boton is standing there. "Bingo! You look adorable," she says. I smile at her. "Come on now, Prince Koenma is waiting. When you are in his office, stand next to me and bow like I do ok?" I nod to her.

I'm walking down the hallway. The sensation is much different than I would have thought. Boton looks over at me, "You're very bouncy like you're not used to being on the ground. Although I did find you flying around in the air. Do you know where you're from?"

All I can do is look at her and shake my head. I'm not sure how I would communicate with this one. I'll find a way.

We enter the office. There's a little boy sitting at a desk. He looks little to me, like a baby. But Boton told me that he's much older than I am, well, possibly older than I am since I don't know how long ago I was created.

The baby-prince looks at me curiously for a moment. "Hello," he says, "I'm Prince Koenma. Do you know who you are?"

I think about this, no, no one ever gave me a name. I shake my head at him.

"And you can't speak?"

Again, I shake my head.

"Do you know where you are from?"

I can only stare helplessly. The answer to that would involve an explanation, which I cannot give.

The prince plays with the thing in his mouth thoughtfully. I cock my head and a pink glow forms around it as I bring it towards me and give him a half smile. I poke at the thing in the air, turning it over using my mind to control my powers. I slide my stare to the prince who's looking at me curiously.

"It's called a pacifier," he says curiously watching me. "May I have it back?"

Easily, almost without the thought, I float the pacifier back to the little prince. He turns to Boton and says, "She's very powerful isn't she? You say you found her flying?"

"Yes Prince Koenma," Boton bows, "She had trapped a goose inside a force-field bubble. She was just setting it free when I was flying past."

The Prince turned his gaze back to me, "Your powers, you control them with your thoughts, is that right?"

I smile and nod. I create a glow, a field of my energy, around me and float up into the air. The edge of my skirt floats around my legs. I'm weightless.

All the Prince can do is stare at me. I want to laugh at him.

"We're going to keep you here for a little while," he says, "We need to figure out whom you are and where you come from…and if you're a threat."

Threat? Me? And he wants to keep me here? I've been locked inside for too long. I shake my head and quickly fly out of the room. In the main chamber, there's a small open window, I fly straight for it and out into the blue sky. I can hear Boton's yells after me. But by the time she leaves the room too, I'm already gone.

ooooooo

Back in his office, Prince Koenma calls up Yusuke Urameshi on his television screen. "Yusuke," he says, "I've got an important mission for you. Boton is coming to get you and the other three. Get them all to your house, now."

r&r please, this is my first story!
