Me: I'm back!
VampGirl: Cause we are…
Me: The Sweet Spawns of Satan!
CJ: Y-Y'''''
VampGirl: What…?
Me: Don't you like…?
VampGirl: Our performance?
CJ: You guys scare me…
Fred: Bound at every limb by my shackles of fear
Sealed with lies through so many tears
Lost from within, pursuing the end
I fight for the chance to be lied to again
You will never be strong enough
You will never be good enough
You were never conceived in love
You will not rise above
They'll never see
I'll never be
I'll struggle on and on to feed this hunger
Burning deep inside of me

Yusuke growled and raised his pointer finger at the oncoming demon. Blue spirit energy surrounded the tip of his finger, exploding with the energy.
"Come on, you ugly son of a bitch! I dare you to come closer!" the spirit detective snarled. Anger coursed through his veins as he bought time for Keiko to escape with their daughter. The hair along his spine stood on end and he turned around a second to late.
A demon struck out with a flame covered fist and sent him flying into a wall. Yusuke clenched his teeth as he tried to stand. A wooden board stuck out from his stomach and his blood soaked the ground around him.
"Shit…" Yusuke whispered as his head fell back.
"Yusuke!" Keiko's voice rang in the dying man's ears. He swore and tried to stand once more.
Keiko's Scream pierced the air with a double edged sword. The sound of a falling body could be heard by the passing Yusuke. His chocolate brown eyes began to slowly close.
"Sorry Keiko. Sorry my little girl, too bad I couldn't know ya kid…" Yusuke's last word were quieter than a whisper, so none heard him.
Hiding under a bush, the infant child of Yusuke and Keiko cried out for it's parents. Her dark eyes leaked tears and a tuft of raven hair blew in the breeze.
A short man with spiky black and blue hair faded into view. He withdrew his katana and killed the remaining demons that were searching for survivors. He looked sadly at his fallen friends. A cry made Hiei turn. His crimson eyes searched the ruble around him. His sharp demon senses picked up the hidden baby and he went to her.
She wailed louder and reached out to be held. Hiei hesitated and picked up the little girl. She touched his face and he blushed, not used to children.
"Oh my… Urameshi!" a rough voice said. Hiei turned and glared at the shocked Kuwabara who was staring down at his dead best friend. "How could he get killed? He was stronger than anyone else."
"Surprise is a bitch. When you aren't expecting anything, you can't react quick enough to defend yourself. These demons snuck up on Yusuke and he couldn't react in time, or least he held on long enough for Keiko to hide her." Hiei said trying to pass the screaming child to Kuwabara.
The carrot topped man took the baby, reluctantly. She whimpered a bit then slowly fell asleep.
"What are we going to do with her?" Kuwabara asked. He held the infant as if she were glass.
"Hey!" Botan's impossibly perky voice said. Even when stricken with grief, the fairy girl was perky.
"Like I said, what are we going to do with Urameshi's kid?" Kuwabara repeated. He handed the baby to Botan who stroked the child's cheek.
"We give her to an orphanage. Too many demons are after her for us to keep her. Taking her will make a neon sign that says 'Attack here!'" Botan said. She began walking away.
"We can't just leave her alone. She'll be defenseless!" Kuwabara protested. He shook his head and wondered why he had said that they keep a baby. Yeah, that would be cool… Growing up with three spirit detectives and some weird ass people.
"We have no choice."
14 YEARS LATER
A girl with long raven hair and dark eyes peeked around a corner before lighting a cigarette. She took a puff before handing it to her best friend. Both girls wore all black clothes. Black 'Godsmack' shirts, black baggy jeans with silver chains and black trench coats. They had black lipstick and heavy black eyeliner with a streak going down each cheek. Yep, they were part of the gothic society.
"Man my mom is going to freak when she hears I failed another test." The other girl growled, taking another puff off the cigarette.
"Nothing new, Spyder. That would be, what, the only grade you ever get on tests. F's are good in a way. Without a standard to live up to, life is simple." the black haired girl snickered.
"Whatever you say, Raven. Some people aren't lucky enough to have really stupid parents." Spyder growled. Her electric blue eyes flashed in laughter though her face showed no emotion.
Raven sighed and leaned back, closing her eyes and letting the sun warm her slightly pale skin. She had naturally tan skin and used powder to lighten her features. Her long, straight, black hair danced in the breeze. Her full lips curved into a slight smile and her lip ring quivered a bit. Her small nose sniffed the morning air, though only picking up the scent of cigarette smoke.
"They aren't my parents. My real mummy and daddy left me, remember? That is why I hate the world." Raven said as if she had simply said that she had managed to pass a test.
"And I hate the world because my mummy and daddy try to kill each other and I am caught in the crossfire. Do you know what they did last night when my dad came to get me? They threw stuff at each other and started shoving-" Spyder lifted up her sleeve to show a bruise in the shape of a hand, "And my dad grabbed my arm and threw me into a wall."
Raven pulled Spyder into a deep hug. The black haired girl gently calmed her friend until she was back to her emotionless self.
"At least we'll be seeing Static-X tonight. You can drool over Tripp all you want, but Nick is mine!" Raven said, pretending she was hiding the drummer from the heavy metal band.
"Ha ha. That was so funny I forgot to throw something at you." Spyder grinned and stuck out her pierced tongue. "I just hope my dad buys that I'm staying over your house. Your parents-real or not- don't give a shit about you so everything should be fine."
Raven turned her face and tried not to cry. Even though she had lived her whole life never having parents, the family that now cared for her actually were nice and tolerated her badass lifestyle as long as she cleaned the house and did her schoolwork, even if she never passed an assignment. The dark haired girl felt like she needed someone who cared where she went or what she did. She did so many illegal things like smoking, drinking, partying in clubs that didn't allow anyone under 21 and she even did drugs once and no one noticed.
Spyder smacked her friend out of her daydream and told her that class had started. Groaning, Raven unhitched her lip ring and hid it in her pocket.

That night, Raven and Spyder walked home from their concert, their arms hooked. Spyder had dyed her hair purple and black and her face was deathly pale. Raven's sleek black hair flowed out behind her, billowing along with her trench coat. Her brown eyes still held the excitement she had just experienced at the concert.
"Holy shit that was awesome!" Spyder laughed, her dark blue eyes sparking in amusement.
"Nick was so hott! I'll never look at another man again!" Raven pronounced. Her black lips slid into a smile. "Let's stay out all night! Sleep under the stars or sneak into some club and grind with hot guys!"
"You are a bad influence on me!" Spyder laughed as she and Raven made a beeline towards the nearest club. They slid through the crowd out front and while the security was checking out an arguing couples ID's, they snuck in the club.
The pounding music welcomed them and they went straight to the dance floor that was more of a mosh pit. They began dancing and just fell into the beat of the hard metal playing.
Raven felt the hair along her spine stand on end. Through the pounding music, she heard someone say : "There she is! The one with the purple hair! She has to be Urameshi's kid!"
Raven spun around and spotted four big men heading towards Spyder. Her insides clenched and she ran to her friend, grabbing her arm and pulling her towards the door. Ignoring Spyder protests, Raven led her best friend away from the club as fast as she could. Her heart pounded in her chest and she pushed them down a dark alley where they held a chance of not being spotted.
"What is your problem, Rave?" Spyder demanded to know. Her face was filled with anger.
"I saw four guys, I mean huge guys talking about you and it wasn't to ask you to dance. They wanted to hurt you, I know it!" Raven exclaimed. She threw glances at the street lit by lamps. She had no clue how she knew all of that, but her gut told her it was true.
"You were just jealous! They were going to grind with me and not you! I'm going home now!" Spyder practically ran from the alley. Her purple hair flew behind her head as she fled. The Goth girl stopped for a second, almost regretting say what she said to Raven, but anger made her walk into the open and alert the four men from the club. One withdrew a glove that had four, long spikes on it.
Raven sensed the demons and ran to aid her friend. She saw the one with the spiked glove holding his fist above Spyder's stomach, ready to make the final blow. Making herself run faster, Raven knocked aside Spyder and felt the spikes drive into her insides.
"Raven!" Spyder screamed, but the black haired girl raised her pointer finger, feeling some sort of instinct driving her.
Blue spirit energy coursed through her and a Spirit Gun was fired, killing the demon with the spiked glove. Raven stood, the spikes still hanging from her stomach and challenged the remaining demons by spitting at their feet.
They rushed at her, raising various weapons, but they never took another step because a blur and something green made them fall. Two men scowled at the bodies, the shorter holding a katana and the taller wielding a green whip that had spikes.
Raven fell back, pulling the spikes from her stomach. She winced and pressed her hand to the wound, trying to stop the blood flow. Spyder held her torso and tried helping her friend stop her bleeding.
"Stupid demons. Do they honestly think that they will get away will killing humans?" the shorter man snorted. His crimson eyes turned to the two girls.
"I'm on it, Hiei." the tall redhead said. He walked to Spyder and the dying Raven.
"Rave! Raven, please don't die on me, or I'll have to join you!" Spyder growled. She was crying and her eyeliner ran more than it already had.
"Oh shut up, Spyder. You think I'll let a stab wound kill me? Hell no. I'm dying by my own hand." Raven whispered, her brown eyes glazed over in pain. She watched the approaching man with mute interest.
"Hold still and I can help you." he told Raven. She raised an eyebrow and sat up in rebellion. Her dark eyes flashed with pride.
"Hold still, Rave! Dammit, you will live to see tomorrow!" Spyder snarled. She gripped her friend tighter and made the girl yelp in pain.
"Shit! That hurt! I swear I'll kick your ass, half dead or not!" Raven threatened, head butting Spyder's chest and making the purpled haired girl cry out in pain.
"Both of you stop!" the short man, Hiei, hissed. He clenched his katana closer and tried to hide his amusement. He stared at the girl who was bleeding. She looked so familiar…
Raven sat back, holding back a wince as white hot pain lashed through her. You cut yourself and you don't wince over that! She thought to herself.
Kurama summoned a healing plant that would stop the pain and clot the girl's blood. He also summoned a plant that would make her sleep so that she would heal naturally. He applied the plants and Raven's eyes slowly closed.
"We will take you both home after you explain what happened." Hiei said, looking at Spyder.
"Well, Rave and me got out of a concert and snuck into a club. She said that she heard those guys talking about me, in a bad way. She dragged us out of their and I didn't believe her and got attacked. She took a blow for me and killed one of the guys with this blue light. Then you guys showed up." Spyder said, her attention on her sleeping friend.
"Blue light… What does that sound like, Hiei?" Kurama asked his companion.
"Spirit Gun. But she couldn't be… Could she?"
"It is possible. Tell me, is your friend adopted?"
"No. She just lives in foster homes. Why do you ask?" Spyder inquired.
"We think she may be our dead friend's daughter. Does she know anything about her real family?" Kurama asked.
"Only that she hates them. It may sound weird to you, but the only person she cares about is me because we can relate with each other." Spyder said, her deep blue eyes flashing, daring the men to make fun of them.
"She has every reason to hate them, but they are dead so she really has no reason at all. What am I saying? We don't even know if she is Yusuke's kid." Hiei growled under his breath. He knew, deep down that she was the detective's daughter, but it was just that she aged so much sense he had seen her last. She wasn't a baby anymore. She had taken down an A class demon the first time she had encountered a demon.
"Oh my god! She isn't breathing! Raven! Raven! Wake up!" Spyder screamed, shaking her friend.
Raven looked down on the scene, her brown eyes filled with confusion.
"What the hell?" she murmured. Her black hair blew in an invisible wind. She looked up to see a woman in way to much pink.
"Hello, Raven. My name is Botan. Do you remember me?" the blue haired woman asked. Her purple eyes peered in question.
"No. Should I?" Raven asked. Her face was emotionless.
"Not really. You were a baby when we first met. I was the one who put you in the orphanage."
"You were the one who had me sent from home to home and never let me know my parents? You should have not said that!" Raven tried to punch Botan, but the fairy woman flew out of harm's way. Hatred coursed through the dead girl's veins and she had to calm herself.
"You have your father's temper, alright. You look just like him. Would you like to meet him?" Botan asked, gazing at the black-haired girl with patient eyes.
"If it means I get to knock his lights out, then yes." Raven whispered, closing her eyes and forcing her racing heart to calm down.
"He'll fight back, you know. But oh well. I know they will be glad to see you." Botan grabbed Raven's hand and pulled her to spirit world. The dark haired girl tried not to shout out. She watched the ground fly by her and felt strangely calm. She closed her brown eyes and let the wind whip her hair. Her trench coat fluttered in the wind like a curtain in the breeze.
When Raven opened her eyes, her jaw dropped. She stood in front of a HUGE mansion. It was a gothic style home and felt oddly serene. Raven almost muttered home.
"Yusuke! Keiko! Come see who I brought with me!" Botan yelled, dragging the still shocked Raven. The dark haired girl was trying to absorb everything in view.
Raven licked her black lips and touched her lip ring, which she had forgotten was there. A black haired man and brown haired woman rushed down the stairs and greeted Botan. Raven stiffened as she looked at the man she resembled so closely.
"Yusuke, Keiko, this is Raven."
Yusuke and Keiko turned their attention to Raven. They gasped and rushed forward to embrace her. Raven took a step back and evaded their reaching hands.
"Don't touch me." she hissed, her brown eyes turning a dark, almost black color. Hatred made her want to punch her parents in the face but the feeling of finally finding her family made her want to hug them.
"What is wrong?" Keiko asked, still trying to hold her daughter.
"I want to leave, Botan. Take me back to my body now, or I will make myself do it!" Raven snarled. She turned and walked out of the mansion. She wondered why she had wanted to come here.
"Wait!" Yusuke called, grabbing Raven's shoulder. She grabbed her father's hand and flung him over her shoulder.
Raven shut her eyes and thought of Spyder, her only friend and the one person in the world she cared about. She felt a tugging in her stomach and she found herself standing by the sobbing Spyder.
Raven reached out to touch her best friend, but her hand went through the girl's body.
"That won't work, you know."
Raven whipped around and glared at a tall teen boy with Jr stamped on his forehead. He had a pacifier in his mouth and he watched Raven with calm eyes.
"Who are you?" the dark-haired girl demanded to know.
"I am Koenma. I have an offer for you, Raven. Your father was the best Spirit Detective I have ever known I have a feeling you will follow in his footsteps. I ask you to become a Spirit Detective."
