I flopped down on the couch with a sigh. Today had been a long day for me with tests for five out of six classes and then training for the rest of the day tell it was time to make dinner.

"Karin what's the weather going to be tomorrow?" I call to my friend that moved in with me about a month ago after her parents kicked her out.

"Rainy Lilly, why are thinking of going out all night again?" she asks as she dry her hands off and walks over beside me. I wasn't paying so much attention to her as I was the dark clouds forming in the sky. I normally wouldn't think much about it but by the way the clouds were grouping together so quickly I could tell that there was going to be rain; my favorite time ever.

"Yah," I sigh turning my head to look at her.

"I won't stop you, but I'm not going to take care of you if you get sick either." I chuckle as I hop up.

"We all know that would never happen. I never got sick before." I tell her as I head up stairs to my room to quickly get changed into my white shirt and black shoulder less black zip up jacket. I throw on my black sleeves with gold trim and red buckle and red belt over my black pants and boots.

"I'm heading out!" I call out to Karin as I run out to the forest that made up our back yard.

My back yard consisted of five acres of forest and two acres of land in front of the house. I had inherited it a few years back when my parents died. My aunt had taken me in as her responsibility but I mainly stayed in the barn as my aunt would call it. I hated the big cities that my relatives all lived in and preferred the peace and quiet of my 'barn' by myself. Karin knew of this wish and tried not to bug me too much, but she knew that if she ever needed something that she could simply come to me with it and I would be there for her in a heartbeat.

I have known Karin all of my life. Her parents had grown up with my parents and that how we grew up together, but while Karin was the popular, nice one I was the quiet, angry one. Most said that I was the dragon that would kill in a heartbeat and Karin was the dragon trainer, the person that tamed the fire breathing dragon and showed it what kindness is. I guess in a way the statement is true, but that doesn't mean I have to like it.

I sighed with a smile as I found my favorite branch to sit in. The branch gave me a wide sweep of the forest and allowed me to keep an eye on the house to make sure nothing happens to Karin while I relaxed and enjoyed myself.

The rain began to slowly drizzle down wards on me but soon picked up in amount and began to down pour. I smirked to myself then climbed down the branches tell I dropped to the wet forest floor. The thunderstorm was soon to come and I wanted to be by the water fall first. There were two reasons I wanted to be there;

1. The more challenging demons would be there and

2. I loved the rain

I made my way into the center of the forest. When Karin moved into my house I had set up only a few rules, the only one not normal was that I prohibited her to go into the forest without me. I didn't want to get her hurt or to find out about demons until absolutely necessary. I had to keep her out of harm's way, even if it meant putting my own at risk for her. She's the only one that's ever truly been there for me, I owed her that much.

I broke through to the opening and saw the waterfall as a thunder bolt sounded- the game has begun. I sigh and close my eyes as a light chuckle is heard from the bushes that I just came out of.

"Have you come to be my lunch?" A dark voice asks and I turn and open my eyes. He looked weaker than most of the demons that come out at this time, but I learned from before than to judge a demon by the way they look.

"No, I don't give myself up to demons. I would rather die than prolong your lives." I spoke calmly to the demon with a mono look on my face.

"You insolent creature!" I watched him as he ran toward, fist raised. As he grew closer I side stepped out of the way.

He's too big to change directions and too simple minded to really attack me.

"Stay still!"

"No," I tell him calmly as I doge another attack last second with a roll.

"Hn," I hear someone say from above me. I look up to see who it had come from, but my attention is taken away from the sky as a blood curling scream is released from the demon I was fighting.

"Baka, what do you think you're doing by fighting a demon? Do you have a death wish?" I looked at the 4' 10", black haired demon before me. He wore a blank expression, much to the one I wore towards him but by the sword cut that had killed my demon I can tell he had been the one to kill him.

"No I don't have a death wish."

"Then why are you out here picking fights with demons?"

"Because that's how I normally spend my days," I answer letting my anger get the better of me.

"Then you're an even bigger baka than I thought."

"Shut up shrimp!"

"You're shorter than me, Baka!" A sword was suddenly to my throat and my back to the ground. I hadn't even seen him move from his spot.

He could be the demon that finally kills me, I think to myself as I glare into his crimson red eyes. I found my death. It's funny that he saves me just to kill me himself, but he's a demon. He only wanted me so he could drink my blood.

"Hiei!" Someone called from the distance as three boys run out into the clearing and pull our attention away from our glaring contest.

"Hiei what are you doing" A boy with slicked back hair asks as he and the other two boys run up towards us.

"What's wrong with you shrimp? She could report you to Koenma," an orange haired Elvis impersonator said.

"She's only a human, she doesn't know Koenma." The boy known as Hiei growled back at, who I'm guessing, are his friends.

"If you kill her Hiei than I will report you to Koenma." It was the third boy who spoke in my defense. He had long flowing hair and if not for what he wore and his male voice I would have guessed he was a female.

"You wouldn't Fox," Hiei growled.

This is my chance, I think as I shift my weight to move from under him, but the sword was suddenly pressed to my throat again. How did he know? He wasn't even paying attention to me!

"Don't be stupid," he growled.

"Get off of me," I growl back.

"I'm going to kill you," he growls as he gets off of me.

I stand up and look at the four boys. They seemed so different from each other. The Elvis impersonator was an idiot while the red head seemed smart and like the brainy one. The idiot seemed like he might get along with the gangster want a be because of both of their stupidity. The redhead might get along with Hiei, but Hiei was also short tempered while the red head seemed cool mannered.

I couldn't understand why any of them would be friends it seemed more like a fight waiting to happen.

"Koenma wants to meet you Lilly," the red head said politely.

"I will not be coming. He has nothing to offer that I could be interested." I turn my back to the four before me and run off in the direction of another main spot for demons.

"You'll come with me whether you like it or not," Hiei said coldly as he suddenly threw me over his shoulder.

"Put me down," I ordered him as I a dagger out of my boot.

"Do you honestly think you can kill me with that?" Hiei growled at me.

I looked up at Hiei with wide eyes as I was pinned down to the ground disarmed. He didn't like me because of the short comment earlier and when I pulled the dagger out on him just now I pissed him off even more. I know that Hiei is a demon but I think he might have the ability to read my mind. I could tell he was a fire ice demon, so how could he read my mind?

I reach my hand up and pull off his headband. Staring back at me is a purple third eye and the answer to my question.

"The Jagan eye," I thought out loud in shock as I blinked at it. I felt like reaching out and touching it just to make sure it was real. I had read about it in my parents' research, but never had I seen on up close like this. It was amazing; such a tiny thing could enhance a person's ability more than double their original strength. The catch was it came with a hefty cost and could kill a person in the process of getting it implanted.

"What's your problem human?" Hiei asks and I pull myself out of my daze.

"Nothing," I snap at him and flip him over so I was on top before blot for the woods just to have him grab my foot.

"If you just came with us this wouldn't be a problem."

"Did you stop to think that maybe I have things I can't leave behind to go off to see the Spirit World Ruler?" I ask as I glare back at him.

"And what difference does that make?"

"I won't abandon those that mean something to me!" I scream back at him.

"And I need to get off of my probation; I can't do that unless I get you back to the stupid baby."

"I'm not going," I growl.

"Yusuke open a portal," I hear the red head say as I feel a sudden falling motion.

Before I was able to react I see everything around me turn purple and as I begin to grab my barrens I see the purple change into a room with a desk and the ruler of the spirit world behind it stamping papers.

"We brought her," Hiei growls with irritation.

"Oh, Hello my-"

"I know who you are and I don't want to join your stupid team if I have to abandon my life behind me," I tell him not even giving him a chance to really speak.

"I'm sorry to hear that. Is there any way I can change that? You have great potential and I think you would make a great asset to team Urameshi."

"Unless I can stay where I am now I'm not going."

"I understand," the baby said nodding his head. "You may go back now."

I nod my head and disappear in the portal that appeared under me.

"Oh, you're back earlier than I expected!" Karin said greeting me happily as I walked through the door drenched and soaked to the bone.

"Yah, I came back earlier than I was planning." I told her as I started to head upstairs.

"Heading to bed?" she asked as she closed her book.

"No, I'm going to take a quick shower than watch some T.V," I told her before completely disappearing upstairs.

After my shower I got changed in a sports bra and mini shorts. Not too long after Karin moved into my house with me we both agreed that we could walk around like this; A because I didn't own any real PJ's and B because we were both girls so it didn't make much of a difference.

I sat down on the couch and began to watch my Pretty Little Liars.

Knock, knock

I looked up at the front door and glared at it, but reluctantly I got up and opened it.

"What," I snapped at whoever was at the door.

"Wow, do we get to see this view every day?" The boy with slicked back hair for earlier asked with a wolfish grin on his face.

"What the hell do you think you're doing here?" I snap trying to keep my voice low because Karin was now up stairs asleep.

"Koenma's plan to get you on the team and still meet you're agreements was for us to move in with you. I hope you don't mind and that we're not imposing."

"No I just let every stranger I meet move into my house," I snap.

"Look baka this isn't any of our idea of fun but there isn't anything we can do about it. Now shut up and tell us where our rooms are," Hiei snapped just as pissed off as I was about this.

"Hn," I replied stepping aside to let the boys through.

The four boys followed me as I led them upstairs to the second floor.

"You can all stay on this floor, but one of you will have to stay the third floor because one of my friends is staying on this floor as well."

"This place is sweet! The rooms are like as big as my old apartment!"

"They are 90' by 80' each," I tell them as I continue to walk down the hall. "You all have your own complete bathroom and each room has a balcony. If you need anything I'm on the third floor the room down at the end of the hall. You can't miss my room because there are only three bedrooms on this floor because it holds the master bedroom."

"Breakfast is served at 6:30 on the week days and 9 o'clock on the weekends. Lunch is 12 and dinner is at 8."

"My friend's name that lives with me is Karin. I am Lilly as you know and now it's time for me to be told who you are." I sounded like a drill surging to my own ears. This probably wasn't the best way to be introduced to them, but I wasn't happy and they weren't really welcomed here.

"I'm Yusuke Urameshi," the boy with the slicked back hair introduced himself.

"So you're the reason I'm in this place," I say glaring at him.

"Uh, yeah," he says scratching the back of his head.

"Yoko Kurama, but my human name is Shuichi Minamino."

"The famous thief," I say nodding my head. "If anything goes missing I know who to go to first."

"I bet you're dying to know who I am!" The Elvis impersonator says as he points to himself with a goofy smile.

"No, not really."

"Well I'm Kazuma Kuwabara," he said proudly."

"That's great," I say not really caring as I stood with my arms crossed.

"Haha you got rejected," Yusuke laughed.

"Shut up Urameshi," Kuwabara shouted.

"Shut up both of you! My friend's bedroom is right behind me sleeping," I hissed at them and caused them to stop fighting and look at me with fear in their eyes.

"Sorry," they stammered.

"Bakas," I grumbled to myself.

"Hiei," Hiei said knowing that we were both acquainted already.

"I'm taking the third floor room just so all you bakas know," Hiei said as he headed upstairs to the third floor.

"Fight amongst yourselves for who gets the rooms down here," I told them as I walked off to my room to go to sleep for the night.
