YK: I have taken over Darkened Skyes story, as she didn't want to continue it anymore.
I'm posting this now, and due to the fact that I'm no good at using an OC (Miryo) when I know little about them, I will be editing her out.
Due to that aspect, parings will change.
Sorry about any inconveniences this has caused!

Disclaimer: I own no one!

Power… such a beautiful power… calling to all the demons of the land. Yet there were traps set up to keep the many weak creatures out. The guardian of this power wished for a challenge, not something so simple that it would vanish in the flick of a wrist. Unfortunately for the guardian, two of those creatures would reach it at the same time.

-some random village-

"Hey Sango? Do you hear that call too?" A young crow demon asked her friend. The crow was 6 feet, jet-black hair to mid-back, and shockingly blue eyes. Her friend was 5'11", hazel eyes, and also had black hair, hanging down to her waist in a low bow. Furry black triangles poked out of Sango's hair, informing anyone with a brain she was a kitsune.

"Kagome…? Are you sure you're hearing a call?" The crow stretched onto her tiptoes, fingers brushing the ceiling with black wings spread out for balance. "Yeah… it's like the story of the Sirens… once you hear the call, you have to find the source of it or just turn into a loony." The two girls laughed at this. However, there was a distracted look in their eyes…

-yet again, a random village-

"Kuronue! You're going to ruin the floor!" Dark brown eyes glared at a silver haired, golden-eyed kitsune. "Yoko, you can't honestly tell me you don't feel the call too…" Sighing, Yoko tapped the talisman on Kuronue's chest. "I thought this thing shielded you from all magical influences." "It does, but this is way too strong for even my pendant. What do you say we go hunt down the source of it?"

Yoko stretched, his 6 and a half feet nearly causing him to smack his head against the ceiling. "You outta be more careful, fox. Your height'll be the death of you." Kuronue teased his partner-in-crime. "Well, at least I have some height, shorty." Yoko bit back. Kuronue was still quite tall at 6 feet 4 inches. Changing the subject, Kuronue asked Yoko, "Shouldn't we get going if we want to beat all the lesser yokai to the prize?" "As if they had any chance of beating us from the start…" Yoko sneered.

-A large bush maze chock full of traps-

"Sango, you better stay here… don't want you getting killed in there." Kagome begged her friend to stay away from the prize at the heart of the maze. "Don't tell me you're just gonna fly over it until you find the source…" "Now where would the fun be in that? I sense plenty of lower-class demons in there… it's going to be an interesting trip." Kagome grinned animalistically before charging headfirst into the maze. Soon, the death cries of many demons could be heard, followed by some muttering of it being too easy.

"Okay Yoko, you ARE staying outside of the maze, whether you like it or not." Sango's head snapped up, wondering who was coming. She spotted two male demons, kitsune and raven by their scents, walking towards them. The kitsune's hair was silvery, down past his back, while his white clothes accented his golden eyes that were currently flashing with anger. The raven that was walking next to him, he had a tattered top hat on his head, with blue-black hair in a high ponytail coming out of the hat. His dark brown, nearly black eyes were narrowed at the kitsune who Sango had determined was Yoko. The group still hadn't noticed her. Sitting there patiently, she tapped her foot. "Yoko, stay here with this young lady," Kuronue winked at Sango, "and wait for me to come out. And yes, I WILL be coming back, for your information."

YK: Alright, for those of you who haven't noticed, I changed Miryo to Sango. Many things will probably be different from the original way the story was going to be written, but I can't really help that.

I hope you all enjoy it!
