Hey everyone! This is the Prologue story to The Other Child! This means
that it came before TOC. Are we all on the same page here? There will be a
quiz at the end and I believe in corporal punishment! So okay, I don't any
of the characters, so read review and enjoy!
(As a side note the story switches back and forth from Yoru to Kurama, Hiei, Bo so try not to get confused-ed okay? And it's not in the first person. It was gonna be but I needed the story to switch between characters...)
The Other Daughter
~Part One~

Revenge was on her mind as Yoru Yohaku took the keys to her small apartment room from her landlord. Shutting the door, she threw her bags on the fold out couch and sighed. She needed to settle her mind. Kicking off her shoes and throwing her jacket down next to her things she started to stretch.
As she moved and bended her body her thoughts went back to when it happened. Her own people had betrayed her. The ones she had loved and trusted! Now she was stuck here on Earth. She had heard of talk of a place, the Makai. Yeah that was it. She could go there, being from another world and all. Maybe they could help her understand what was happening to her.
Yoru pulled the practice sword out of her bag and started to spin and twist, her feet sliding in and out of position. When she finished she looked over the sword. It was blunt steel, though there had been cases in her world where people had been killed by a practice sword. She smiled a little. Sure she was out of practice, but her technique hadn't faded. Wiping sweat from her brow she looked at the clock. Eight PM. She went into the bathroom for a shower.
She made a mental list of what she had to do. Get food. Get money. Get Revenge. Easy right? She started to stow her belongings in the empty closet. The room was very plain. That needed to be changed. As she turned out the light a final thought crossed her mind. Trust no one.

Music played on the kitchen radio as Kurama cooked. Boku and Hiei sat at the table. Kurama started to slide plates of food onto the table. Bo got up to get plates and silverware. They all moved to the beat of the music. Kurama took Bo's hands and started to spin around in circles with her. Hiei sighed and stood pulling Bo away from Kurama.
"Don't touch my girl fox."
Kurama shrugged and they sat down to eat. Soon the voice of an announcer cut into the music. There had been a strange murder. At the word 'murder' their ears perked up. When the broadcast ended Kurama was first to speak.
"Demon," he said.
"Had to be," said Boku.
"I wonder what the murder was about..." said Hiei more to himself.
"Probably an assassin," said Bo twisting pasta onto her fork. Kurama nodded.
"Let's find them," said Kurama.
"Like hunt them down?" asked Bo.
"Yeah,"
"And then what?" asked Hiei.
"I dunno," said Kurama. "I just get the feeling that this is going to turn into something big."
"Hmm....whatever you say Kurama," said Bo. "Whatever you say.

Yoru sat on her windowsill and cleaned the blood off her real sword by the moonlight. Who would have thought that she could make a living by killing people? But it was working. She had tried other jobs but nothing had worked. Assassination wasn't very chivalrous but it paid well and let her use her skills.
She hopped down and sheathed her sword then put it in the closet with her other things. She hadn't been able to find anyone that had known why she was here. She concentrated hard trying to remember. There was something about her world falling apart...and a ceremony to bring the forces back together. She was half of the force.... Which half again.... Oh yes the dark half. She wondered where the light half was if there was one. Yet with the confusion it was still betrayal. The people she had loved were willing to just throw her away and sacrifice her. Even if she could she wasn't going back. Maybe she could get used to living on Earth.
Yoru curled up on her bed and fell asleep. She dreamed.
There was a tree. On one side of the tree it was bright and sunny on the other side dark. As she watched someone came up behind her.
"Find her," said the person. It was a woman.
"Find who?" asked Yoru.
"Your sister."
"I don't have a sister!"
"And I guess you're going to tell me you don't have a mother either?"
"I don't have a mother."
"Of course.... Better to start slow. Just watch. Listen. You will see soon enough. Until again...my daughter."
Yoru woke up in a cold sweat. She rubbed her temples. What a weird dream. She didn't have a sister! And her parents had abandoned her. She almost wished they were dead. Yoru got up to get some water. That woman had called her daughter. That couldn't be her mother. She got her drink and returned to bed. No her parents were dead in her world where they belonged.
