The Lost One
Chapter 1: Nameless

Little white paws trotted against the pavement in short bursts as a smaller then the average house cat paced down a slightly vacant street. This feline didn't have any particular unique pattern to it other then a thin necklace around its neck instead of a normal collar. It had a small cloudy egg-white colored gem hanging at the end of that was very similar to a bell. It may look like a makeshift collar by any others point of view but it held a much bigger significance to the cat that no ordinary person would of imagined. Other then the gem the feline was just a white cat with dark brown eyes, almost wine colored, just walking down a street.

The small cat side stepped, dodging a leg from a tall gentlemen as he strode by. The owner of the legs chatting on the phone quite loudly so most likely not noticing the cat in his hasty pace to get somewhere. Of course this didn't stop the felines motion, continuing as if the man never appeared. A few feet ahead the walkway curved and the cat disappeared around the corner. The sun set low, hidden behind buildings most of the time and casting shadows over everything so no doubt it was getting late. Of course this didn't stop a passing child from gawking at the cat, reaching out with her free hand as the other was trapped in the mothers grasp. This caused the kids body to lean away from the mother as much as possible without actually escaping, a portion of a overly large scarf tangling to the ground.

"Kitty~" the little one called out. The mom just gave a tug, jolting her child back to a standing position softly next to her hip.

The mother scowled at the passing cat as if it was caring a plague while fixing her daughters scarf with a easy motion that plainly showed this happened a lot to the kid. She then spoke while walking the opposite way. Continuing to tug on the girl to keep her in check,"Don't touch it. Come on, we need to get home before it gets dark."

"But..but.." the girl begin to plead which the mother cut off with a hard no.

"No, now come on."

With that they turned the corner the cat just walked from. The little one glancing last minute before disappearing. Clear longing to pet the kitty lingering in her large kid like brown eyes. Through all this, the feline didn't even look at the child let alone stop or show they even heard the lady. It was used to kids wanting to usher it to them and adults shunning it. Of course there was days when it was the opposite scenario but not as often as the other. Most commonly, no one wanted to be near it and just left it be, and the cat was perfectly content with that. Of course it didn't help that it was a well groomed cat that so boldly walked on the sidewalk unlike most feline strays who would skitter away at a sound of a human approaching. Let alone walk around with them but that was besides the point..

Finally for what felt like a hour of straight walking through the suburban area the cat stopped in its track, tilting its head up and parting its maw, scenting. Catching a scent it was searching for causing it to stop entirely in the first place. A city park was ahead of the cat and what it was searching for was was most likely in there. The feline shown no second thought as its paws begin to move again, jolting across the road which had no traffic. Sun already long gone giving this place a silent atmosphere effect with little far-and-in between light posts to illuminate the area. Reaching the semi-tall iron fence, the cat easily snaked through the gaps and adventured into the park. Having the natural scent develop around it as silent white paws dived deeper into the brush.

Another hour must of passed as the feline walked cautiously between the shrubs. Further away from the city and into (what it believed to be) the center of the park and breaching the other side. Not knowing that this park actual faded into a forest among the cities outskirts. White paws halted and wine colored eyes suddenly focused along with ears standing upright, twitching with what new sounds they caught. Something was ahead and it was moving fast in its general direction. Whatever it was it was heavy and showed no signs of attempting to even be subtle. With a quick decision on the cats part, it jumped up the nearest bark and begin its climb to the top. Once at the top of the tree the feline scanned the area. Quickly noting that the forest was vast - showing no signs of stopping further ahead and evening bleeding into mountains- and that behind shown a shimmer of the city that it adventured from. Yet another difference among many then what it was used to back home..

Shifting, the feline cut its attention to a tree that just trembled and fell, blue lights engulfing it right before its fall. That's when the pulse came and the cat was suddenly aware that whatever 'it' was ahead of it, was not alone as many more energies pulsed within the awake of the blue light. Making this more difficult then it should of been, one beast was enough but three.. With a low rumble and a tail flick, its body arched as nails dug into bark, the cat braced itself as as debris flew by. The chaos ahead making its way with gaining momentum before it could realized it. Even before the debris dispersed a large - much large then a average man - body flew and collided with the tree the cat was perched on causing the small white ball to lose its balance and very gracefully land below on its feet - as a cat should. Right in front of the odd discolored heap next to the trunk of the tree.

White fur prickled, back arching more then before, as the cat got ready to do whatever it must against this sudden intruder. Maybe it was pride, stupidity, or just how it was raised but fleeing was never the option even in this form. As the sudden wave of energies rushed up behind the cat, it was beginning to bet more on the stupidity at this moment rather then pride. Maybe changing wasn't a bad idea..

"What the fuck is a cat doing here?" said a rough voice, the cat didn't look behind it, only a ear twitch signifying it even heard the noise.

"A cat, where!?" came a even rougher voice, almost cracking due to its poor vocal cords not being able to distort that way.

This time the cat gave a glance to the voices, wine colored eyes shifting to see the group that appeared behind it. There were two men one with slick black hair and one with some sort of orange pompadour. The orange guy being the tallest out of the two. Movement rustled and brought the cats attention back to the giant below the tree which was now leaning against it. The features on this guy would be best to say "ugly." With dark purple skin, two crooked horns - one of which was broken - and a under-bite. Fww, this guy was not pretty. The blue liquid coming from multiple wounds also didn't help its appearance.

Just as the guy stood all the way becoming ready to charge, the cats body went into defense mode but a large arm wrapped around its small white torso and lifted the cat right off the ground and straight into a large amount of fabric against a hard place before it could do anything. Completely shocking the cat if wide eyes and flailing body was of any relational to that statement. Few grunts here and there and some claws into skin a second later, the cat was facing the scene taking place in front of it from a yard back. Looking up at the capture faint red eyes saw that it was the big orange oaf that carried it to safety and carefully plopped it to the ground, crouching when doing so. The big guy didn't even show that the scratch marks even hurt and they didn't even give the cat time to fight for itself. 'How unpleasant..'

"Now run off." came his order, it wasn't mean sounding but there was a faint sound of concern there. As if this complete stranger cared for this random cats life but that's right, most people had a soft spot for animals - specially those seen as weak creatures. It wasn't like this cat was manipulating anyone though! It was just a form it often took, almost on reflex. Hell, the cat was just about to fight the Oni looking beasts but was interrupted.

"No." came the faint but solid reply to the big guys command.

"What do you mean no- wait, wait!" big brown eyes widening as it dawned on him. "You just talked!"

"Is it really that hard to believe with the amount of beasts you have running around in this world."the cat blankly stated with a deadpanned expression, well as deadpanned as a cats face can get. A slender tail flicked behind the white cat as it stood up, clearly showing signs of annoyance, "Now if you'll excuse me-" it begin to say while walking around the big guy but got cut off as a arm reached out and stopped it again. The cat didn't look up to meet his face, instead it watched the fight scene over the arm. The other guy landing some nice powerful punches on the big beasts- making it crumble. The beast held no match to this other guy so It was clear that there was no need to intervene - well technically they intervened but that depended on your point of view on this matter.

"But I can't sense any demon energy from you." Came his stern voice, drawing attention to himself as wine-colored eyes peered up.

"Of course not." came a sort of scuffed reply, a sign that the cat was offended. "I am no demon."

A loud crash and bellowed scream of defeat ignited behind the orange guy, declaring that the beast had fallen. This made the big orange oaf turn around and which in return gave the cat a chance to walk away unseen. They stole its 'prey' but it didn't matter much anymore anyways, it wasn't like the world it came from where killing a beast earned them money. No, the cat just did the hunting more out of habit then anything. Turning around, the cat walked off into the brush silently and started trotting away gaining about four yards before a loud shifting noise came rushing up behind it.

"Oh no you don't! You aren't disappearing after that, nope!" came that overly rough voice and once again the cat was swiped off its white paws, this time in mid-bounce.

"This is very unpleasant, you know.."

"Kuwabara, who are you talking to? Don't tell me you're talking to the cat." came the fellow from earlier, appearing up behind the now known as Kuwabara guy. The cat felt itself swing at arms length to now face the slick back black hair guy, lifted to be about eye level with him. This was starting to get ridiculous.

"This little guy can talk, Yusuke!" white ears leaned back at that statement but no words came out. "and he's not a demon. I can't since any demon energy."

"Yeah yeah, it's just a cat Kuwabara that's why. Now stop acting out. We gotta get back to Genkai's."

"No seriously!"the cat felt itself lift and fall at that, the big guy trying to make arm gestures even with that cat in his hands.

"Kuwa-"Yusuke started to protest but another voice cut through. "Enough already! Put me down." It had enough of the bouncing and twisting, its white legs waving in the air along with two idiots arguing. Yusuke's eyes widen just like Kuwabara's had previously which seemed to be the normal reaction. Was it really that uncommon to- you know what forget about it because apparently it was uncommon to find a talking animal despite all the creatures in this world.

"He CAN talk!"

"And I'm not a him! I am a she." came another annoyed yawl from the cat, back paws kicking.

That made Kuwabara drop the cat while his face lit up in a blush but Yusuke was quick to pick her up just when her feet hit the ground again. "Geez, just drop her why don't you. Anyways, we need to take her to Genkai's cause you right, she shows no demonic energy." came his awed statement as he looked the cat over, turning her around in his hands.

"Maybe she's a human with a spell on her."

"Yeah, like a curse."

That struck a cord. The feline twisted and broke away from Yusuke's arms in a instant after the word was spoken. The moment its front paws hit the ground, her body twisted to face both guys causing the dry dirt and multicolored leafs to stir up but not only by her landing for a pulse of air came from her paws. In a minute her body was engulfed in debris, the orb around her neck glowing faintly as the dust circled her. Rising up as her form rose and soon she stood at five feet solid, much short then either of the boys as the wind died down. The leafs falling slowly to the ground floor to reveal a human girl by appearances. A pale petite one that could be easily mistaken as a child with very long white hair to her waist, and dry-almost brown-red eyes. Upon her body was a black and yellow modern dress-like-frog-button-up gi, black tights underneath with black basic Kung Fu shoes, and the same orb once on her makeshift collar now sat loosely around her neck. The feline now stood in a form she had not taken since her first day in this world.

"I am not cursed." came her furious words, her innocent looking face scrunched up with small fists at her side. Breaking the illusion of a 'innocent child'. The transformation only took a minute if not two, so her comment was almost a quick snarl.

"Okay, okay, my bad." came Yusuke calm voice, hands up in a 'don't shoot me' method as they waved back in forth freely-neely. "This doesn't change the fact that you are not.. a demon."

"Or the fact you can change forms, say.. how old are you anyways?" Kuwabara asked while leaning in a little to closely, eyeing the small girl which made her cheeks heat up. Never one being good with people being so close to her.. She quickly turned her head to the side, eyeing a near by tree while crossing her arms. The distraction helping her face ease back into a normal blank expression before responding to the question she had often been confronted with.

"That is none of your concern, I am old enough so do not treat me as some child." Her eyes shifted at the corner of her sight back to Yusuke's," And of course I am no demon. I am a warrior."

"HA! What warrior fights in a cat form? You're kidding right?" Yusuke asked while laughing,"That's gotta be the most ridiculous battle form ever!" he was now doubling over with laughter, holding his stomach. The white haired girl stared at him straight on now, finding his statement and laughter insulting.

"Silence, or else." came her cold warning which she wouldn't doubt went unheard with how much the punk was laughing. He didn't know what she was capable of and laughing at her for it made her body tense, she fought back snarling at him like some animal and instead just stared at him coldly.

"Yeah, yeah, I'll stop." he had to slowly ride out his laughter to finally he shoved his hands in his jeans, a now serious look washing over his face. Jokes and laughs were over now - time for the serious matter of things. "I have to take you with us and I prefer you come with us on your own."

Her body tensed but her eyes didn't move as they stared into each others. Obviously they could handle themselves if fighting beasts were apart of their -maybe daily- routine. They spoke of demons like they were the norm so by far 'they' must not be the norm either. In fact, the only normal one was the Kuwabara fellow off to the side. Yusuke on the other hand.. something was off about him and she could feel it. She could already clearly see why they wanted her to come with her. They found something off- something that didn't fit into this world. Closing her eyes she gave a shrug, "Fine."

A smile broke out across both their faces, breaking what tension built for a moment there, a load now lifted from their shoulders. "Good, so what's cha'name anyways or shall we just call you kitty?" Yusuke asked while turning, gesturing for her to follow, Kuwabara already walking along side his friend. Showing all signs that they trusted her to do just that, follow. It took her a second, one last split moment to think over her options, but as quick as it came it went. The girl pressed her foot to the dying foliage, pushing off as she begin walking behind them. She stayed about four feet behind the two boys though, studying them as they walked, and deciding to let the name calling go as if she didn't hear him..

"Just call me Mumei." Came a slightly delayed responds as if pondering on what name to give. It wasn't her real name of course for it had been over a century since she last heard lips speak her true name. The name Mumei was given to her long ago by a very close friend and even though it was a alias - a nickname of sorts, it was one she was fond of. The meaning of the name suited her; 'nameless, one without a name'.

"Mumei huh?" Yusuke pondered over her responds as If he was questioning her pause but he didn't show any signs of wanting to press further into it at the moment if he did. "Well I am Yusuke and this big oaf over here-" he pointed his thumb at the orange haired man,"is Kuwabara but I'm sure you figured that out already." Kuwabara just gave her a sheepish smile while rubbing the back of his neck.

"And the temple is this way." Yusuke announced while pointing his figure northeast, their bodies already tilting to that angle. "It is a bit of a walk but we should arrive in about an hour on foot." Kuwabara seemed to be happy to be walking though a little upset about how long it may take. While Yusuke appeared to be more antsy on the matter, you could see it in his steps and the fact he always seemed to be ahead by a few steps. Mumei's questioned it silently but her thoughts were answered before she could chalk them up for some other reason, "I'd suggest running but Kuwabara can't keep up."

"HEY!" Came a gruff retort as a fist collided with Yusuke's bicep. Then they started bickering at each other like best friends that often pick on each other but at that point Mumei lost interest and looked off to the forest. The rest of their conversation becoming jumbled as her eyes scanned mindlessly through the shrubs and tree trunks. Her face resembled a emotionless doll but her mind was quite the opposite for her brain wrestling around with thoughts about her new predicament.

'Maybe this Genkai person can tell me how to get back home...'
