Forget Me Not Chapter One: Family Visit
Her wrinkled old skin shuttered in the morning sun. It was still early in the morning but the elderly woman knew she had an important meeting that could not be procrastinated. She made her way slowly up the many temple steps. This place was not much different than her own dojo further south. So many warm memories flowed through her wise old mind as the morning breeze blew gently with her as if to help her along the many stairs. After a long stroll up the mountain path, she found her self standing in front of a Large, old dojo.
She stared at it's fine, structure. Yes, it was many years ago when she first helped to build this place. She turned away from the temple and looked toward a giant grave that stood at the end of a cliff. Engraved on the tombstone was a single name...Gouken. The woman sighed gently and brushed the leaves off from the grave.
"It's been awhile hasn't it? I see your students aren't around at the moment. Well, I have come to tell you that I have finally found the successor to our mother's technique. Like you told me once before, my student would be the one that resembled me the most...Dimwit, why did you let some one kill you like that. You could have taught the brat some manners...You would have liked him, his name is Yusuke Urameshi. I know it must have been hard for you, to erase the memories of my granddaughter...but in the end, I think it was best that Yusuke be the one to master my techniques."
Suddenly, a soft but strong voice called out from behind her, "Master Genkai? Is that you?" Genkai's grey-pink hair danced about her as she turned around to face the owner of the voice. He was a young man, but extremely muscular. From one look at him, one could tell that he had been training for most of his life. His short, dark-brown hair was tied back with a pure white head band while his strikingly blue eyes glowed with question. Genkai laughed to herself, "Hello, Ryu. It has been awhile hasn't it?"
She walked up to the fighter and glared, "Where's that foolish friend of yours? Ken, I think that was his name..." Ryu laughed, "He left for America a long time ago, Master Genkai. I see him time to time at the Street Fighter Tournaments and he will probably come over today. It is Master Gouken's birthday..." Genkai sighed as she got lost in her thoughts, she had actually gotten to see her brother when she was killed by Toguro. The two of them had a such a good talk about the past that she had completely forgotten to tell him about Yusuke.
"Oi, Ryu!" Called a man with a American accent, "Ryu, you there or what?" Genkai sighed angrily as Ryu chuckled to himself, "Speak of the devil, the he is now." The two old friends walked silently out the door to see a tall American man with long blonde hair dancing behind him. "HEY! GRANDMA GENKAI! How have you been?" The old master grunted at the youngster's comment, "Dimwit, what took you so long?" "Hey," he grunted in disappointment, "Coming all the way from America takes time Grandma! Besides, I met this really pretty girl named Eliza-" "Can it, Ken. I don't want to hear about your stupid love affairs." A wide smirk appeared on the westerner's face, "Your just jealous that you are too old for me!" Suddenly, a book hit Ken in the face, "Dimwit, didn't your master teach you to respect your elders?" Ryu tossed his head back in laughter as the old woman and the young man continued to pester each other.
"By the way, Genkai Sensei," Ryu said finally, "I heard rumor that you finally picked a successor to your style. Is it true?" Genkai smiled at the fighter, "Yes, and unfortunately, he is as much as a moron as Ken, Perhaps even worse." "Really? I'd like to see that!" Ryu chuckled as Ken growled at them. "Well, Let's stop chatting like a bunch of old hens and Clean up Master Gouken's grave."

It was a beautiful morning at the Higurashi shrine. The trees waved gently to the wind's breath as tiny sakura petals danced with every flow of air. Only one figure stood in the peacefulness of this morning with her heart racing, a mother. Her eyes scanned the old shed that covered an ancient well with a feeling of worry and dread. Something wasn't right with her daughter...The one place she couldn't be there to protect her baby was that well. It was alright wasn't it? It wasn't like she was fighting for her life or something.
That was what she kept telling herself ever sense the day she that dog-man burst into the dinning room. Fear shook her entire body as the words of her mother-in-law raced through her head, "Kagome has my family's blood running through her veins, Saki. It is her destiny that she will face youkai whether you want to believe it or not. So she must learn to defend herself." The mother cursed herself for what she did, When Sasuke was alive, she always had Kagome go to her grandmother's shrine to learn the attacks of her father's clan.
At the time, she thought it was right that Kagome would learn the same things her father did as boy. But...then he was murdered by a student of her mother-in-law's brother. A deadly creature that called himself, Akuma. Her body shook with fear every time she heard that cursed name. It reminded her of a horrible, horrible incident that happened to her as a young woman. One night, while walking home she was attacked by a man with a horrible power. She shuttered in the warm breeze as she remembered the cruelty she endured.
The next thing she remembered was a young man running out toward her attacker, fighting him back away from her. When she had opened her eyes again, she was in strange dojo, her outer wounds healed...but her spirit crushed. Then she saw him again, the young man who had tried his best to protect her. His name was Sasuke, the son of Genkai the master fighter. Her brown eyes stared at the Giant Tree that stood in the middle of her family's court yard. It was here that Sasuke told her that he was in love her. At the time, she was pregnant with her attacker's child...She needed to stop...her mind was wandering again. She needed to concentrate on Kagome. If only She wouldn't have went crazy the day Sasuke died, She stole Kagome from the safety of her grandmother's dojo, made them take away every thing that she had learned there. Everything...just because she feared that if Kagome learned martial arts, she would die just like her father.
What a fool she was, she should have listened to her mother-in-law. Kagome would have been more prepared if she was still in the hands of her grandmother...She had lied to Kagome all these years about her father's family. Tears started to flood down her face. She told Sasuke that she would make sure to tell Kagome everything. Had she lied even to the man she loved the most? To herself? She even failed to tell Kagome that she had a older half brother...Why? Why did she do this to her family? Because deep inside, she was still heart broken.
Suddenly, the door to the well house flew open and enormous cat with two blazing tails carried a body on it's back. A tiny child leaped from the back of the cat crying, "HELP! KAGOME-ONII CHAN NEEDS HELP!" Kagome's mother ran as fast as she could toward her fallen daughter quickly holding her body toward her own. Kagome was covered in blood but she was still breathing, still alive. Softly her mother, Saki, spoke, "Kagome? Kagome-baby? Open your eyes, it's mommy, your safe" She paused, thinking about Sasuke and the promise she had made to him,"...no...not yet..." Carrying her daughters body in her arms her brown eyes burned with determination, "I should have done this a long time ago."
"SOUTA! GRANDPA! Get out here quickly! We are going to go see my mother-in-law...
Genkai."

Yusuke hummed softly to himself as he strolled down the street. He was in a pretty good mood today and nothing was going to ruin it for him, not even some stupid street punks who thought they could beat him. There was just something about this morning that made him feel different, like something was about to change. "Oh yeah!" Yusuke said with a huge smile upon his face, "This is a damn good day!" For some reason, he felt he should go to Genkai's dojo and bother her awhile, heck, maybe the old hag had a couple of more tricks to teach him.
"HEY!" Shouted a girl's voice from behind him, "Are you Yusuke Urameshi?" Yusuke sighed and turned to look behind him. There were two girls around his age staring right at him. They both wore navy style school girl uniforms, blue skirts and sailor neck tie, plus a yellow bow in the front. One the girls had long brown hair nothing much there except she looked very nervous at Yusuke. The other girl, however, was something else, her short brown hair was tied back by a white bandana while she fixed her red gloves and tennis shoes.
Yusuke growled in annoyance, "Who wants to know?" The girl with the white bandana stood forward, "I am Sakura Kasugano and I wanna fight!" Yusuke raised an eye brow at her and roared with laughter, "Yeah right. Listen, I don't feel like fighting little girls. Go bother some one else." Sakura growled and dashed toward the young man, "I heard you pick on those weaker than you! I'm here to stand up for them!" "Sakura!" the other girl shouted nervously, "Let's leave Urameshi-san alone." "I ain't scared of him! He's the one who's scared to fight me!"
Yusuke smirked, "I don't pick on those weaker than me, they ask for it. As for you, I won't fight you cause it will make me look even worse than I do now." "Oh yeah?" She growled as she placed her hands at her side, preparing a chi attack. 'What the hell?' thought Yusuke as he watched her charge up chi, 'Ok...so she's a little better than the street punks.' "SHINKU HADOKEN!" Suddenly, a large energy blast shot out towards the young Spirit Detective as he jumped into the nearest tree.
Sakura opened her eyes and screamed, "OH MY GOD! I didn't want to destroy him completely, Kei!" "I told you this wasn't a good idea!" Sakura's friend, Kei shouted. "Don't freak out ladies," Yusuke said as he jumped back to the ground, "I'm not dead. Just used my brain." "COOL!" Sakura shouted as Yusuke was overcome with shock, "YOU have to be pretty fast to doge that!" Yusuke yawned, "Eh, you weren't so bad yourself. Listen, when your moves don't suck any more, give me a ring."
Sakura growled as she placed her hands on her hips, "Hey! If you can do better show me!" Yusuke just simply walked away, "Can't, my master would kick my ass. Ja'ne." The young fighter girl clenched her hands in rage as her friend quickly raced to her side, "See what did I tell you? All the middle school gangs call him the demon! Now that actually seen him in person I believe it!" Sakura suddenly jumped to in happiness, "I think I've found my new rival, Kei! Sweet!"

Genkai smiled as her brother's students followed closely behind her, the way the two bothered each other reminded her of herself and Gouken when they were younger. Yukina was already making a giant meal for her today, so she thought it be best for the two fighters to join them. Besides, they both were really upset about Gouken and they needed other company besides each other.
"Hey, Grandma Genkai! Why couldn't we just take a taxi to your place? wouldn't it be faster?" "It's because walking is healthy for you, Moron." Ken frowned, "Why are you always so cold and mean, Grandma?" Genkai glared at the American and stated, "Because I can." As soon as the dojo was in sight, Genkai felt a familiar presence of chi...and the sent of blood." Her eyes filled with worry as she quickly dashed inside.
"What's her problem?" Ken asked as Ryu stared off in the dojo's direction, "Something's wrong." Ken scratched behind his head, "Well what are we waiting around here for?" Quickly the two men dashed after the old master only to fin her standing in the door way with complete shock. Yukina the tiny ice maiden was working as hard as she could to heal a young woman on a futon, a tiny child with a fuzzy tail just sat down crying as he held a tiny two-tailed cat, An old man and young boy sat in corner around a flame seeming to pray. A middle aged woman sat down by the young lady being treated by Yukina. Her eyes never left Genkai's as she stated, "Hello, mother-in-law."

How's that for a first chapter? I know it's kinda odd that I mixed some Street Fighter characters in the story but, I wanted to try something new. This story is going to mostly be a Inu Yasha and Yu Yu Hakusho story.
