Hi all, Starbright91 is here. I hope you guys will enjoy this Yu Yu Hakusho fanfiction. Before you ask what kind of pairing this will be, knowing there will be an oc character. I have no idea. I guess we'll all find out when the story progresses. Hopefully, I will have positive reviews, but please, don't hesitate to place a criticism review if you wish. Just as long as it not a flame, or just going flat out "Mary-Sue. That's that," It urkes me to no end when no one explains why.

Disclaimers: I do not own any of the Yu Yu Hakusho characters or franchise as it belongs to the great Yoshihiro Togashi, but only the oc characters and story plot. Yay! =D

Summery: Every thousand years, a Shikigami maiden is born. This maiden would have her gift activated when she saves a life of an innocent where the situation would make it where she could lose her life. Her powers would be great, as it would evolve as what most would say "Magic" when it is really very high spirit energy. Yet, she is sought after by demons everywhere, for the woman's abilities is able to empower a low class demon, to a very high level. Yet, in order for that to happen, the shikigami maiden must be mated, or her soul devoured. The Maiden would be able to protect herself though, but in most of their lives, they die from being hunted or forced into a matehood, where they kill themselves. Now it seems that the Shikigami is born once again, as Miyuki Urameshi. The little sister of Yusuke Urameshi.

Yusuke never told anyone, besides Keiko, of his sister, because Miyuki was slowly dying of a terminal illness. He did not want her involved with the situation of spirit world and Makai. Now it seems his acts will all be in vain if Miyuki ever activates her abilities. If that were to be the case, would Yusuke be able to protect his sister, along with his friends, or shall she die within the fate of every Shikigami Maiden?

Chapter One: Hidden Secrets

Yusuke let out a huge yawn, stretching his arms, as he was walking next to Keiko, who only looked over at him with an exasperated look and rolled her eyes.

"Knock it off, Yusuke. You haven't done anything all day since you got back" she chided, but it was in a playful manner. With the two were Kuwabara, Botan, Yukina, Hiei, and Kurama. They were heading to the city's district, mostly to have some relaxation, seeing as the four boys had recently returned from a mission. Hiei was reluctant to come, seeing as he did have a job of erasing a human's memory of ever entering makai by accident. Yet somehow, Kurama convinced Mukuro to allow Hiei to have a couple of days off, which infuriated the demon to no end. Still though, it did give Hiei a chance to keep an eye on his sister, especially with the idiot, Kuwabara around.

Yusuke gave Keiko a cheesy grin, as he was about to say his usual remarks when he stopped as he felt something cold on his nose. He looked up, to see that the darkened night sky was starting to snow. Yukina and Botan looked up at the sky with the same excitement,

"Ah, it's snowing" Botan said, with a huge smile on her face, as Yukina nodded her head in agreement.

"It reminds me a bit of home" Yukina said, referring to the ice glaciers that she had grown up in.

"Yeesh, why did it have to snow now? I know its winter but why tonight?" Kuwabara complained, knowing this weather might ruin his chances of spending time with Yukina.

"The weatherman did say there was a chance of snow, Kuwabara." Kurama explained in a calm fashion. He then looked at the group "Do you all wish to head to my home. Mother would probably make some hot chocolate for us." Kurama explained.

"Sure, sounds like a great plan" Botan said, as Yukina nodded in agreement. Seeing this, Kuwabara loudly exclaimed Kurama to lead the way, as Hiei could only grunt with annoyance, probably trying to keep his remarks to himself, or he didn't even feel like insulting Kuwabara as he usually did. The group then began to follow Kurama to his home.

Keiko stopped though, as she glanced over at Yusuke, who seemed to have a distant look in his eyes, which was quite out of character for him. She walked over to his side, as she looked at her boyfriend for a moment, and sighed, knowing that he was probably thinking about her. A young girl that was her best friend since the said girl was very small, and the very same friend who was someone very close to Yusuke. His little sister. Keiko knew it would shock the others, even Botan and Koenma if they found out. After all, Yusuke's sister was never brought up since they all met each other three years ago. Not to mention Yusuke would never bring her up, knowing the condition the girl was in and not wanting to put her in any danger of makai.

Keiko knew that Yusuke was protective of his little sister, he even made sure to only call her every night just to check on her. Yet, Kieko knew that during the three years he was in makai, he never had a chance to contact her. Keiko was the one who visited her, to let her know that her older brother was fine. It always made Keiko amazed and impressed when the little one would understand the situation of her brother and mother not visiting her. Not many people in a hospital could understand, like she would.

"Yusuke, when are you going to visit her? She had been asking for you and your mom for a long time now" Keiko said, making Yusuke snap back to reality. Yusuke scratched his head, as he looked away.

"I know, Keiko. It's kinda hard to visit her, you know, where there are demons trying to take over the world every now and then" he said, with an annoyed look on his face. "Besides, I rather not have everyone asking why I never mentioned our resident ball of cuteness. Botan would probably start demanding to visit her, drag everyone along, and at my sis' condition, that would be a bad idea." Yusuke said, already imagining his sister having a panic attack from Botan's sudden appearance.

Keiko looked at Yusuke for a moment and then shook her head, knowing that he was over exaggerating a bit. Then again, Yusuke's sister has been in the hospital at a very young age, and the place being all quiet and calm, even Kieko knew that the young girl shouldn't have so much excitement around. It wouldn't be such a good thing, as the girl was very fragile.

"Well, if you want, I can lie to the others saying I want us to spend some alone time together and we can visit her tomorrow. How does that sound?" Keiko asked. Yusuke's face lit up, as he hugged the smaller girl.

"Man Keiko, you have a evil little mind. You should use that more often" Yusuke said, before rewarding her with a kiss. He started to be more open around her.

"EW! Urameshi and Yukimora are making kissy faces!" Kuwabara shouted, trying to poke fun at the two, only for Yusuke to punch the orange haired boy's face, as Keiko could only sigh. Botan had luckily distracted Yukina from the sudden violence, as Kurama could only sweatdrop, and Hiei had an amused smirk.

-P.O.V Change-

Within the confines of a hospital, a young girl was sitting on the bed, staring out the window while watching the snow falling. The girl was no older than fourteen years old, yet her slender profile looked as if she were only twelve years of age. Her long black hair was long enough to touch her lower back, as her brown eyes were transfixed on the snowflakes which were dancing within the open air, gracefully landing on the ground outside. The girl then silently got out of bed, as her long sleeved light pink nightgown fixed itself while she placed on her night slipper, then walked over to the window. She then placed her hand on the cool glass, just to get a closer look, of the falling snow. It had been much too long for her, when she had last been outside.

Her earliest memories were when she was close to being five years old. Yet, even then she was barely allowed to go outside. The doctors forbade it, as they said it would make her more ill. The child knew of her terminal illness, where it was slowly killing her, making her body ache with much pain. To where she would have pneumonia to where she could feel her heart nearly stopping. The girl clutched her chest, as she could almost feel it, yet she calmed herself down. The girl knew she had to be stronger for her brother and mother. Yes, it had been a very long time since they last visited her, almost two years. The girl knew that they were busy, and they called her every night to see how she was. Her old childhood friends would come visit her. Especially, when one of her friends being her brother's girlfriend.

A smile formed on the girl's lips at the memory when her friend told her the news. She remembers her congratulating them, and asking when she would be expecting her niece or nephew, and causing her friend to blush badly and telling the girl to not say such things, as he was giggling the whole time.

"When will your brother and mother come visit you, Miyuki?" a voice said. The girl, who is now known as Miyuki, looked over to her left side, and saw a woman standing next to her. Miyuki relaxed and softly smiled a bit at the woman, who was looking down at her the whole time.

"They will come very soon. My brother said that he was going to visit me. He said that there were was so much going on the past three years, that momma and him were not able to come see me" Miyuki said, in a quiet voice, as she looked out the window again, as her reflection was on the glass, but the woman's reflection never showed. "When will you depart to spirit world, Saya? It would be very bad for you to stay too long here. You always said something bad would happen if you did" Miyuki asked, as she continued to stare out the window.

"As soon as your mother or brother visits you; I cannot stand it when a child who has been emitted to a hospital since she was only five, does not get a visitation from her only family. It makes me sick to my stomach, even if they were busy, they should have enough time to visit, rather than call you" the woman said with anger in her voice, as she continued on "I do not care if I fade into nothing. I will not leave you here alone." She said

Miyuki closed her eyes for a moment, as if she were going through her memories, trying to find something in order to calm her older friend down.

"I get it why you're really mad. You were sick, but your husband left you, because he was a mean person and found out that you were able to see things no else can. He didn't deserve you, but Momma and Big brother are different though, and they are not anything like him" Miyuki said, as she looked over at Saya "I know Yusuke and Momma. They'll come and see me. I know that there are things I don't understand, like what was going on, but they will come. They never had let me down before." she said in a quiet voice, as her gaze returned to the window. She could hear Saya sigh for a moment, as the blonde haired woman began to ruffle her hair

"Forgive me, Miyuki. I did not mean to insult them. I know they are trying their best… but, will you be able to protect them? There are things they may not understand about you. After all, you possess something that I have never felt before. Even when I was alive I never sensed this much energy from anyone." She said.

"I'm just normal. Probably because I'm close to death, I can see things too. Like you." Miyuki said, with a shrug, but there was a smile on her face "And because of that. I'm never alone." She explained. She looked over, only to see Saya was gone.

"Well, most of the time" she thought. Then Miyuki looked out the window, just once more, before she headed back to bed, to sleep. Speaking with ghosts, can sometimes make Miyuki tired. It was possibly due to her needing to use so much energy in order to communicate with them.

Miyuki then lied in her hospital bed, before she closed her eyes, and fell fast asleep. Saya then appeared by her side, as the ghost looked out the window and glared at it for a moment. Outside of the window, near the roof, were creatures that seemed hideous. They were starting straight at Miyuki, who never even noticed them. Saya then glanced down at the sleep child.

"Why. Why do they watch you like prey, what are you, Miyuki?" Saya thought in her mind, with worry. Saya knew her time on earth would be up, when either her mother or brother would visit, but she knew there were other spirits in the vicinity that were close by, ready to take her place of watching over and protecting the child. Still, Saya wondered why those demons had taken a sudden interest in the ill child. She only prayed that Miyuki would be safe. Saya closed her eyes, and then vanished once more.

How will the visit go? Will Yusuke and Keiko be able to visit Miyuki without anyone finding out?

Will the others find out about this secret?

And what about this demons hanging around the hospital, and what energy was Saya talking about?

Well, you guys would have to wait for the next chapter. Until then, this is Starbright saying peace! And remember, read and review, or Hiei won't be able to have any ice cream!
