Chapter 1 -The mysterious dancing girl

Disclaimer: I don't own Yu Yu Hakusho!

Yoko and his partner Kuroune had just returned for the night and had stopped at an inn to rest. The inn had many dancing girls ,which is why this happened to be one of their favorite inns. Usually the two would be partially drunk by now ,or at least look it ,but not tonight. Well Yoko wasn't anyway. Kuroune was starting to look a little drunk ,but it wasn't too bad, yet . Yoko's golden eyes were wandering around the room when they fell on a particular dancing girl. She was a kitsune like him. Her hair was a sea green like an ice koomire's ,but it carried some silver flecks. Her fox ears were whitish silver .Her eyes were a jade green and carried a sadness and wisdom beyond her years .All in all ,she was drop dead gorgeous in Yoko's opinion."What'cha looking at Yoko?" Kuroune asked a bit blurredly. Yoko just raised a hand and pointed to the girl who held a tambourine and was dancing among the low class demons ,but always stayed just out of reach of their fondling hands. "Oh her?" Kuroune asked looking more coherent. "That's Oceanus". Kuroune took a deep breath as he told her story.

"She 's the eldest daughter of a very poor family. Her two younger sisters were captured by the ronin lord in town. One is 12 but the other comes of age today. So Oceanus is doing everything she can to set her sisters free. This stupid git keeps raising the price on her sisters heads so if she doesn't do something soon ,her sisters will remain his personal slaves forever. Her parents were killed in a clan raid so she's the one responsible for her sister's protection now."

Yoko took a deep breath as he heard about the kitsune's predicament. He had experienced something similar to this .That was what caused him to start stealing.. "Now you know why I've been coming back from here broke. I've been giving all the money I had to her ." Yoko just nodded dumbly as he continued to watch her. Suddenly she looked up. "Hey ,Kuroune!" she called ,running over to his side. "Who's your friend?" she asked politely. kami ,her voice is sweeter than an angel. Yoko thought to himself. "This is my partner Yoko Kurama." He said elbowing Yoko in the ribs." Say something Romeo ,you're making me look like a baka." Kuroune muttered just loud enough for the lovesick kitsune to hear. He blinked and said " Hello Oceanus." She smiled and took a seat between the two legendary Makai thieves. "So Kuroune ,any luck in trying to get my sisters free yet?" she asked solemnly. He just looked at her for a minute like "great now you just really blew it. "and said "nope ,I've been trying all week and this is all I've got to show for it" He pulled up his shirt sleeve to reveal a very nasty gash on his right arm ."Kuroune, why did you lie to me? "Yoko questioned his partner .At this ,Oceanus stepped in and said "Don't blame him Yoko, this is my fault. I asked for his help." Yoko looked at the young kitsune with concern and something else hidden in his eyes." Itai,is that lust in his amber eyes ?Or love"? Oceanus wondered aloud. When she realized that she'd said that ,she blushed and said "I'm so sorry, sometimes my mouth runs away from me sometimes."" Yes and right to mine." Yoko thought as he stood. "Oceanus come with us and we'll supply you with enough treasure to free both your sisters." Yoko said as he stood. She shook her head and replied "I could never ask you to do such a thing for me ." she said blushing madly." No " Yoko said ,helping her to stand "It's quite alright ." "come with me and I'll tell you my story."….
