Disclaimer: I do not own Yuu Yuu Hakusho or Sailor Moon. I am merely borrowing them for my own amusement (and yours hopefully).
Tenshi's Notes: Minna-chan! Hai, another fic… don't worry, all's well with Goddess. *grins* Just as groundwork for Yuu Yuu Hakusho, I basically watched it almost 6 years ago, only to leave at the point where Yuusuke's ancestor has completely taken over and he ran off. That was the last scene I remembered, so I decided to continue. Since I've never seen a lot of YYH/SM crossovers, I made the bold move to write one. Do you know how hard it is to write one when you have nothing to follow?! *smacks head*
And as a warning, gomen to all those used to Kurama and Hiei pairings. It will NOT be happening here. (For the love of God, don't email/review me and tell me you hate the fact that it's not a yaoi pairing, k? That's what a warning is for.) Read on to find an "original" pairing. *laughs* (Inside joke between my chans and I)
If I made any mistakes, forgive me since it's been a while. I decided to up Yuusuke's age a little just to make the fic fit a little better. He's probably somewhere around 17-18 instead of 15. What else? I hope there are those who read this… I'm having a lot of fun with this fic. There will be lots of twists and unexpected stuff as usual.
Special thanks to my chans for everything they've done for me, including being a guinea pig for all my writings, and putting up with me. *laughs* (Silver-chan aka my chibi-self, AHEM. You officially owe me a REALLY REALLY long review.) And thanks to all my wonderful readers and reviewers who've been with me since that first chapter of Unexpected Destiny. *gets mushy* You all are the best!
Tentatively, I'm calling it One Day at a Time (you'll see the reason why much later on). And please, review if you like even one sentence that you see! (or hate) Cos' reviewing makes Tenshi happy! (and e-mails cause Tenshi to make squealy noises) ^-^
Ja for now!
Btw, a few Japanese words to explain here:
ken – sword
ningen – human
kitsune – fox (Thanks Eternal-chan! I actually knew it meant fox, but typed wolf for some reason)
ningenkai – human world (Earth)

One Day at a Time
: Chapter 1"Yuusuke!!! NO!!!!!" Kuwabara yelled out as he watched in horror as his friend took off for parts unknown. Whirling around, he stared at the other two demons who stood there stoically, one with an unmistakable look of concern on his face. "Why did you guys do anything to stop him?" He demanded angrily. This was Urameshi Yuusuke, one time rival, and now good friend. As a group, the foursome had been through so much together before Yuusuke transformed.
Shrugging, Kurama replied, "You want to stop Yuusuke when he is in his purest demon form thus far? Be my guest. Personally, I'd rather wait for an opportunity, and study his moves and actions first before doing anything."
A snort came from the shorter demon next to him, his deadly red eyes glaring at Kuwabara. "Bakayero," Hiei remarked. "That's the problem with you. You always rush into things. It'll be the death of you one day." He smirked.
Veins stood out in Kuwabara's temple as he longed to pound the rude demon into the ground. However, several factors stood in his way. For one, Hiei happened to be much more powerful than he was. Secondly, if he was going to start dating Yukina, he had to be nice to the mean jerk, whose vile temper was well known through the demon world.
Hiei looked on smugly, watching with a perverse glee as he saw Kuwabara turn an interesting shade of purple. The baka was about to blow up any time soon, and highly liable to get himself killed if he didn't learn to control that temper of his. If it weren't for Yukina, Hiei couldn't care less about what happened to the orange-haired oaf. Ningens were such fools, though he had to admit, it was somewhat admirable the strength of character they had. Admirable. He snorted derisively. That'll be the day.
"Yukina will get mad if you beat the ningen," Kurama observed next to him.
"Don't I know it…" He muttered.
"We should go track him down now instead of standing around! Hayuku!" Kuwabara hollered.
Hiei's fists clenched in annoyance as a black energy began crackling up and down his arm.
"Remember… your little sister won't be pleased," Kurama chuckled, before his expression suddenly sobered as the shorter demon glared at him. "Let's go find Yuusuke!" Kurama added hurriedly with a sweatdrop.
*******************************************************
"I can't believe how we keep missing him!!" Kuwabara bit out, his teeth clenched in frustration. "All we ever get to see is his path of destruction, and the people he's hurt."
"The ningen in him will be very upset to find out what he's done," Kurama spoke softly, observing the once thriving village that now lay in ruins.
"The bakayero! We were supposed to fight so many more battles with each other! I was going to defeat him!"
"Hnnnph! You think just because you have that ken now you can defeat Yuusuke in his current state?" Hiei shot back, unwilling to have the idiot die and have Yukina hurt as a result.
"How else are we supposed to find him?? Damnit, he moves so quickly!" Kuwabara yelled.
"There was this thing that I heard the other day. There's a bounty hunter in the ningenkai that we could use," Kurama suggested.
"Bounty hunter?" Hiei repeated in disgust.
"Well we don't seem to be having any luck catching him ourselves," Kurama responded logically. "Plus, I've heard a lot of good things. 100% success rate so far."
"Ningen?" Kuwabara asked curiously.
Nodding, Kurama replied, "Hai."
"What has he caught anyway?" Hiei asked somewhat snappishly. If Kurama didn't know any better, he could've sworn that Hiei was slightly insulted that he would even recommend using a ningen.
"Demons, humans. Whatever you want, it can be found."
"Hnnph," was the only sound that came from Hiei, who was secretly intrigued by a bounty hunter who could have a hundred percent success rate. The skills involved would be tremendous. It would be interesting to meet this ningen.
*******************************************************
"Young girl, where is the bounty hunter we seek?" Hiei asked coldly, as he stepped into an ordinary-looking office. It was spacious and sunny, not quite what he was expecting. Kuwabara had charged in and accidentally knocked over some chairs and tables. The young girl had shown up, grumbling under her breath about klutzes and oafs, which caused Hiei to snicker. Kurama was content to hang back, a secret smile on his lips.
Her head snapped up, and her eyes gleamed with fire. "Unavailable at the moment."
"Well, where is he?"
Kurama choked behind him, drawing Hiei's attention as he turned around to stare at the redheaded boy.
Narrowing her eyes at the incredibly rude demon, who didn't stand that much taller than her, she stood up abruptly with a smirk on her pretty face. "SHE is cleaning up the mess that your clumsy friend just made."
"Nande kuso?!" Hiei yelled out, as Kurama chuckled. Kuwabara snickered at Hiei's reaction before his own face reflected the indignation he felt as he realised the girl had just called him clumsy.
