A small shadow ran through the woods panting heavily, not caring about how many times it slipped and fell in the mud, nor the way the mud stung the, now brown, marks covering its fragile body. All the shadow cared about, thought about, felt, knew, all it anything, was getting away from the bright lights and the awful shouting. The shadow knew it wasn't long before it was caught, and it knew what punishment would come; but it also knew that if it didn't at least try, then everything it did up until now was for nothing. So, the shadow did what any other shadow would do, it ran. It had no idea how effective running away would, or could, be, but it refused to stop. The poor shadow ached, its body complained and it could feel exhaustion taking over. But none of this seemed to matter until it lost its battle with its body and collapsed losing sight of the lights, the shouts, and the world around it.

"Daddy? Da-a-a-dy. Daddy!"

"Hmm, I'm trying to sleep Amiri..."

"I know, but there's a weird lady in front of the house, she's 'gainst the willow tree, and she's not moving."

"Maybe she got lost last night and decided to rest there for a while."

"Oh...I wonder what happened to her when she got lost..."

"What do you mean?"

"Well, her clothes are all dirty and she gots lots of booboos."

"What?" Shuichi Minamino, better known as Kurama, groggily pushed himself out of bed and turned to his bright eyed, five year old daughter Amiri. "I'll go take a look at her. You call your uncles and stay inside, okay Amiri?" Amiri nodded and left the room to run downstairs to the only phone she could reach, while her father put on a robe and headed out the front door.
Kurama yawned and blocked his eyes from the offending sun with his hand lazily. After a few seconds of getting used to the outside world, he finally moved his hand to see a rather young looking woman slumped over in front of his tree. At first glance, the woman, who was beginning to look more and more like a girl, really just seemed like she was in a peaceful slumber, but, as he got closer, Kurama not only could smell the blood, he could see the dried red trails all over her. "Oh." Kurama rushed over to her, "I guess I should tell the girls to come over as well..", he mumbled as he picked the woman up gently and brought her into the house where an eager Amiri was chatting away on the phone.

Sorry this is such a short first chapter, but this is so you can start to get a feel for things.

I do not own Yu Yu Hakusho, nor do I make a profit off of it nor this story.

Please let me know what you think. As the story goes on, I hope to hear a few guesses from everyone.
