-1 I Want My Innocence Back

Chapter One

Introductions

I ran to the nearest temple I could find; it belonged the psychic Genkai. She almost attacked me, but stopped once she saw that I was covered in my own blood.

"Yukina!" she called into the temple.

"Yes, Master Genkai?" a young woman with blue hair and crimson eyes said coming to the doorway. I assumed she was Yukina.

"Help," I said.

"Prepare a room for her," Genkai said.

Yukina nodded and lead me to a sitting room before going off to prepare a cot. The old woman knelt beside me and held her hands over my shoulders. I was submerged in a glow of blue spirit energy and closed my eyes as it invaded my system to purge the destruction.

"What happened to you?" she asked once I was healed.

"I was attacked by a huge animal of some sort; I didn't get a good enough look at it before it ripped my shoulder open," I said.

"Hmm. Do you want to stay for dinner; you must be hungry."

"Thank you," I said.

Yukina entered the room just then. "Her room's set up, Master Genkai, but I'm afraid there won't be enough rooms if everyone chooses to stay the night," she said.

"I don't want to put anyone out," I started.

"Don't worry about it," Genkai said. "Hiei won't sleep in here anyway."

"Hiei?" I asked nervously.

I had known a Hiei while I lived in the Makai plane. He was a cold and ruthless killer, but the only reason I even considered that they might be the same was because that my Hiei never slept indoors, either.

They both ignored my confusion, that or I had spoken at a frequency too high or low for them to hear. I was willing to bet it was the latter. Oh well, I figure out if they were the same person soon enough because a group of four guys walked in a minute later. One of them had black hair that he slicked back with too much gel. There was a human with an orange pompadour and another boy who was definitely not really human, although he was seemed like it at first glance. Then I saw Hiei. When he looked at me, he quickly glanced away, which caught the others' attention.

"You know her, Hiei?" Slick asked.

"Hn."

"Care to elaborate?" I asked, earning strange looks from the rest of the group.

"Shut up, Onna," Hiei said glaring at me.

I rolled my eyes at him and went to introduce myself to the rest of the group. "Hi, I'm Otonami," I said brightly.

"Urameshi Yusuke," Slick said.

"Kuwabara Kazuma," the orange haired human said.

"I'm Kurama," the redhead said. I already liked him better than the other two.

"Hi, Hiei," I said. He just glared at me. I glared back, waiting for him to blink, but I blinked first. "You've gotten better at that," I said.

He just walked away from me, so I went to help with dinner
