Beginning, Yami looks about 4
"Hina we have had enough!" the elder koorime growled, shoving a small girl with dark blue hair and silver eyes in front of her, "Yamishiro has been nothing but a nuisance and I will not tolerate it." Hina frowned, taking the child's hand,
"Please, all I ask for is another chance," she begged, but was cut off,
"No. we have given you too many chances, the girl is now banished and cannot return," The elder fixed Hina with a cold stare, "I've already decided." Hina held her head down, watching as her tear gems fell onto the snow,
"Y-yes elder." The elder gave her a cool smile,
"Good, now give her to me." Hina nodded before taking a necklace with a single tear gem and pulling it over Yamishiro's head,
"I'm sorry," she whispered as the girl smiled up at her.
"Bye mommy!" she grinned before being taken by the elder. As the elder and the girl reached the cliff, Yamishiro was shoved off, when normally one was supposed to be safely lowered. The girl let out a surprised yelp, staring up with bright silver orbs as she fell, a smile firmly in place.
Two days later
Yamishiro groaned as she opened her eyes, seeing the wood of a cabin roof.
"Ah, the girl awakes," a gruff voice said from beside her. She tensed, looking over and spying an old demon with graying black hair and dark green eyes.
"Who are you mister?" Yami asked, not used to seeing a man. He chuckled, walking over and sitting next to her,
"My name is Yin, and who is this young girl?" he asked. Yami blinked slowly,
"Yamishiro, but I like Yami better." He smiled kindly as she sat up, "Where am I?"
"You are in my cabin," at seeing her cautious look he chuckled again, "Do not worry young one, I have no intention of harming you. She grinned and rubbed her eyes as he continued, "Why did I find little girl on shore?" he asked curiously. She frowned, little tears coming to her wide eyes,
"The elder threw me away, she took me from mommy." Yin watched as the tears turned solid and fell with dull thunks onto the bed. He set his large hand on her head,
"There, there little one, I will take care of you." She looked up at him with wide eyes,
"Really?" He nodded, smiling,
"Of course!"
Skip time, Yami looks about 10
"Master Yin I did it!" little Yami grinned happily, showing her master the small pile of snow next to her. He nodded, patting her head,
"Good job little one." She beamed up at him, her eyes still full of innocence as he taught her how to control her powers.
Skip time, Yami looks about 16
"M-Master!" Yami cried, gripping the old demon's hands as he coughed up blood. They were in his cabin, demon corpses strewn about outside.
"Yamishiro," he rasped, calling her by name, "I will give you my powers, I will die, but I want you to do some things for me." She nodded,
"Anything," she promised. He smiled softly,
"Keep your smile my little one, never let someone take that light from you understand?" She nodded as he continued, "When I die, I want you to follow the ferry girl to spirit world, give Koenma this and let him allow you passage to the human world. A friend of mine will let you stay with him okay?" he asked as he handed her an envelope. Her mint green tear gems gathered in a small pile as she nodded, "Goodbye my little girl, I give you the power of the dragon," he whispered, lightly squeezing her hands before taking one final breath and transferring all of his powers of an B class demon into the small koorime. She screeched as pain filled her entire being, his fire battling with her ice as their powers mingled. She began to cough up blood, screeching again as her entire body set on fire. Gagging on tears and blood, she faintly heard someone gasp.
"Oh dear," a voice said quietly over her screams.
"MAKE IT STOP!" Yami whimpered, clutching her chest. Finally letting out one more scream as the powers began to settle, she panted, sobbing over her dead father figure.
"Um, hello?" Yami looked up with blurry vision, letting out another moan when a ferry girl with bright blue hair and pink eyes walked over. She sniffled,
"H-Here,"she held out a letter with shaky hands, doubling over and yelling when pain flooded her again. The ferry girl grabbed it, skimming over it and nodding, grabbing Yin's soul and the screeching girl and moving through the portal.
"Koenma sir!" she rushed out, throwing the letter on his desk as she set the girl, who was now convulsing, down on the floor.
"Botan! What in the world?" Koenma's eyes widened as Botan turned to him sharply,
"Read the letter!" He flinched, reading the letter and gasping slightly.
"Ogre! I need to get this girl to the medical center ASAP!" he shouted, trying to be heard over Yami's gasping.
"Of course sir." She was scooped up and hurried to the center, finally passing out after one more earsplitting scream.
0*0*0*0*
"Ugh," Yami groaned, feeling sore all over.
"You're up!" a deep voice stated happily. She looked around,
"W-What?" she croaked, seeing a man with short black hair grinning at her.
"Oh, you probably want some water," he handed her a glass. She gulped it down greedily,
"Who are you?" she asked, "and where am I?" He chuckled,
"I'm Ryuu, and you're in Master Genkai's temple. She blinked,
"Where?" He pat her hand,
"I was a friend of Yin's." Tears filled her eyes at the mention of her master,
"Ah."
"So, Yin is dead then?" he asked. Yami nodded,
"Yes, he passed on his powers to me though." Ryuu's eyes widened,
"He passed on the black flame dragon on to you? I mean, I knew something seemed off, but…" his eyes darkened, "That was a dangerous move." Yami nodded,
"Yes, I agreed even when he told me the pain I'd go through." Ryuu smiled softly,
"I'll help you then." Yami smiled up at him, remembering the promise she made,
"Thank you!" she fidgeted, "Um, mister Ryuu, I've been wondering… are you human?" she asked carefully. He laughed, nodding,
"Yeah, I'm a dragon tamer." The two turned when another walked in, an older woman with pink hair,
"She's up?" she aksed, looking at Yami with calculating brown eyes. The two nodded,
"Yeah hag, as soon as she's better I'll be taking her home with me," Ryuu grinned, standing up. the woman, Genkai she presumed, rolled her eyes,
"Whatever moron, just make sure she's healed all the way before you take her okay?"
Skip time, a couple of months before Yu Yu Hakusho episode 1 begins
Yami hummed slightly as she walked around the town, getting ready to get some groceries for Ryuu.
"Oomph!" she grunted as she ran smack dab into someone. Looking up, she saw a guy with his black hair slicked back and a green uniform on, "I'm so sorry!" she shouted, shooting up and making sure he was okay. He laughed, brushing it off,
"Don't sweat it," he smiled. Yami breathed out a sigh of relief as they both began walking,
"I really am sorry," she said again, "I need to pay more attention." He laughed as the two neared closer to the market,
"No problem, I'm Yusuke Urameshi, what's your name?"
"Yami Siyoshi," she used Ryuu's last name like he told her to. He gave her a lopsided grin,
"Nice to meet yah," he looked at his watch, "Crap, Keiko's gonna kill me!" he looked over at the smaller girl once more, "Bye Yami, see yah around." She waved,
"Bye Yusuke!" She grinned as he ran off, turning back to shop for what she came for.
Later that night
"I… I have a brother and sister?" Yami asked, eyes wide in disbelief. Ryuu nodded, showing her a picture of a girl and boy, the girl had mint green hair and crimson eyes while the boy had gravity defying black hair with a white starburst and the same crimson eyes.
"Their names are Hiei and Yukina," Ryuu smiled as Yami held the pictures close,
"I wonder if I'll ever meet them…"
