Kurisuta Hikawa moved into the town of Amity Park. She was a miko in training, and was moving in to the house next to Fentonworks.
Kuri had long dark hair, bright blue eyes and caramel colored skin. She wore a red leather jacket, white dress shirt, red jeans, and black flats.
Kuri was carrying a box when she ran into a boy.
"Oh hey!" He helped her pick it up. "My name's Danny Fenton. Me and my best friend Tucker were wondering if you wanted to come in and hang out."
"Danny saw you had the Doomed Trilogy and we wanted to play." Tucker clarified.
"Sure ok," Kuri said. "But with a big fancy lab like this I bet you can rig up a cool controller. Let me at it with my wrench and we can enhance our gaming experience."
"Um, I don't think..." Danny began.
"Right on!" Tucker said, dragging her into the basement.
The boxes lay on the sidewalk, forgotten.
"Whoa...Ghost research?" Kuri paged through some books. "Though they've left quite a lot out. Ghosts after all have several subspecies, not to mention that they come in different colors to vary their threat level, mood, and mode of death."
Danny and Tucker looked at her, puzzled.
"Mode of..." Danny said.
"Well according to your parents, the ghosts were always ghosts, like how a yokai, that is, monster, exists. However, that's not the case. Ghost aren't born ghosts. They are born human. Then they die, usually in a bad way, and become ghosts." Kuri said.
"Wait a sec." Tucker said. "How do you know all this?"
"And what you're saying is, my parents lifetime of research is wrong?" Danny said. "Try telling them that. There's no way they're gonna go from: 'I gotta catch that ghost and tear it apart, molecule by molecule!' To 'lets get the ghost to cross over!'"
Kuri just laughed. "Oh no, on that part I actually agree with them. I'd rather face two vampires, a werewolf, and a wendigo, then go one round with an onryo."
"What the heck is that?" Tucker asked.
"Well its—"
"It's the worst of all ghosts, and the rarest. A onryo is the only ghost capable of violence or murder." Danny said, and was immediately met with strange looks. "It's in my mom's notes right here."
"Your mom seems to have a fix on this." Kuri said. "Looks like she thinks that most ghosts, at least stateside, are Jibakurei, fixed ghosts, that fixate on a location or idea."
"So tell us, Kuri, how do you know about ghosts?" Tucker asked.
"Whoa!" Kuri said, ignoring him. "Is this a portal?"
"Don't get excited, it doesn't work." Danny said.
Kuri examined it, pulling a wrench out of nowhere.
"Wait what are you—" Danny said.
"Oh I see..." Kuri said after some examination. "It's only mechanical. No portal is going to go to the Makai without the proper runic work."
She grabbed a piece of chalk and etched runes into the sides of the portal.
"You can't be serious. We can't go in the Ghost World!" Tucker said.
"Seems more like a Zone, Tuck." Danny said. "And she's right. We can't let my parents storm in there and dissect everything before we get a look. Aren't you curious?"
"Well it's your lab. You get first dibs." Kuri said.
Danny put on the suit, and Kuri removed the picture of his dad from his chest.
"Just, no way." Kuri laughed.
Danny went into the portal, pressed the button, and—nothing.
Kuri leaned in to peek, her bare hand touching the runes, and BAM!
She could hear Danny's shriek of pain as the the portal shocked him. Prismatic colors flashed around him until it settled on an aura—silver. Silver meant power unimaginable, and it was the rarest of auras.
Kuri removed her hand, and the portal stopped, but her magic remained in the runes. It was a working Ghost Portal now. And this was all her fault.
She ran to Danny's side, and Tucker was right behind her.
He was lying there. His hair was white and his eyes were closed. He didn't move.
Kuri placed her right hand, with index and middle fingers extended, in front of her pendant, then raising her hand to the upper right. It appeared in her hand, a sword.
"What are you doing?!" Tucker asked. "This is crazy!"
Kuri held the sword over Danny's body and seemed to listen for something. "He's alive. He's...transformed."
The sword vanished.
"Really, and a sword told you that?" Tucker said.
Danny's eyes opened. They were bright green and glowing.
"You're a yurei..." Kuri said softly. "I'm so sorry."
She reached out to help him up, and his hand went through hers. "Whoa! What's going on?!"
Kuri raised her reiki and grabbed his intangible hand, and pulled him up, forcing his ectoplasm to remain tangible.
"Danny?" Rachel Fenton, his sister, was coming down the stairs. "You know you and your friends can't play Doomed with Mom and Dad's lab technology!"
"It's going to be alright." Kuri said. "I'll protect you."
Surprised Danny blushed, and suddenly transformed back. Was it that he wanted, instead, to protect her? What had caused him to change back?
Kuri, in control of herself, grabbed them both and shimmered into his bedroom.
"How did you—" Tucker asked.
"Danny has powers. I've never heard of it before, I've heard of a hanyo—half demon—but never, not ever, a Hanyu—half ghost!" Kuri was going on excitedly.
Danny grabbed her. "Explain to us what you did in there. I saw the sword. If you really wanna protect me, start by telling me the truth."
Kuri paused, debating, then sighed. "I'm Miko. And you..." Her eyes flashed silver. "You are Danny Phantom."
