I have been writing a story, and I can never get the beginning right. So I will start over, and write it a different way. This will be my third try. I hope you like it.

I do not own Yu Yu Hakusho.

My name is Shaylee. I grew up and lived in the Makai my entire life. Though, my life has never been easy. My mother and I were always on the run. She was an elemental fairy. She was 4'8". She had beautiful black silky hair with blood red eyes. As for me, the only thing that resembled me to her eyes. I also had black hair, but it was thick and wavy. My skin was pale and sometimes, when I got really mad, weird markings would appear. I would then ask her what they meant. Her reply would be to learn to control my temper, or she would control it for me.

She had the powers of the four elements. Wind, water, earth, and fire, but she specialized in fire. I never understood why we were always on the run, but it was crucial for us. She taught me how to fight using the elements. She also taught me how to fight physically. I can use most weapons, but I prefer the katana or my fists.

I don't really remember her much. Just the times when she trained me, and the last time I saw her. I had fallen asleep after a very exhausting training round. But when I woke up, we were in a little house, and there was ice and snow everywhere. My mother sat on the bed beside me and told me I was going to stay there. I was going to live with the Koorime. She had told me that she didn't feel like I deserved to be running my entire life for a mistake she had made. She had said she was going to return to face her punishment. She had taught me all she knew, and had done the best she could to ensure my survival.

She left after that. I never saw her again. I know that her punishment was death. But I never searched her out to make sure. Partly because I had hope that she might have found some peace in her life. I had always believed that I was the cause for her punishment, and I never had the balls to face the truth. To this day, I do not know what her fate had been.

After she left, I lived with the Koorime. More specifically, a young girl named Yukina. Her story is also a sad one. Her mother had broken the tradition, and had had twins. Yukina and a boy that was given the title The Forbidden One. The villagers had cast him off the island for they feared he would bring bad luck. In her grief, Yukina's mother had committed suicide. This left Yukina, who was full Koorime and a girl, alone. That is why I was sent to live with her. To make sure she did not follow her mother's footsteps.

I never once thought that Yukina would ever commit suicide in her life. She is too innocent. She is so beautiful and naïve of the ways of the world. I had decided, after living with the Koorime for majority of my life, that it was time for me to move on. I felt bad for leaving Yukina. So, the night before I left, I made her a promise. I would always be there for her, my sister, and I would search for our brother during my travels. I left the next day, and would not see her again for a very long time.

I had started to travel across the Makai, not sure exactly what I was looking for. I felt that my life should have some meaning, some purpose. But it didn't. I started assassinating people for money and gifts. But I only went after the people who had wronged greatly. It provided me with a way to hone my skills. One day, I heard rumors of a thief, who was quick and lethal. This peaked my curiosity. I went in search of him, and my search led me to the Ningenki, the human world. I watched him as he faced off someone with the name of Yusuke Urameshi. Apparently a spirit detective. I decided right then and there that my fight would not be with Hiei, but with the new kid. If the spirit detective could defeat Hiei, then he was definitely the better challenge. But I would wait until he had trained a little first. It had to be a fair fight. I knew that he would be strong someday. He would never have been made a spirit detective if he didn't. This boy was going to make the worlds a different place.

I started to watch and spy on Urameshi. I watched him as he battled and trained. But I was surprised when one day he received a mission I had not expected. An old man, by the name of Tarukanae, had captured Yukina. He was hurting her. I saw the place where she was being held, and I set off at once. I kept going and going, when I got attacked. It was a brother of an old assassination I did. He wanted vengeance. I tried to quickly dispose of him, but he had obviously been training. It took me a lot longer to get there.

By the time I got there, Yusuke and his sidekick, Kuwabara, had already gone inside. I went and followed Yukina's energy. I was led to a room, when I went in, I was not concerned with anybody in the room, except for Yukina. I quickly grabbed her and jumped to the other side of the room. I happened to look through the big window while planning my next move. What I saw stunned me.

Yusuke and Kuwabara were fighting the Toguro brothers. By the time I had recovered myself, I noticed I had been backed into a corner. I cursed my mind and luck as I realized that when it came to Yukina, she was my weakness in battle. Just as I was getting ready to fight with Yukina at my back, someone barged through the door. It was a little short kid with red eyes like mine and black hair with a white starburst. He got to Tarukanae when I felt Yukina shove past me, she hung onto his arm and asked him not to kill anyone else. That is when I had looked into his eyes. I realized that he was no mere kid, I could tell by his energy, but it was his eyes that gave him away. They were like cold stones. Deadly to look into, but when he looked at Yukina, something stirred in there, something that made me realize it was him. It was her brother. I decided not to say anything, thinking that he would tell her himself when the time was right.

Yukina remembered her rescuers and went down to help him. I stayed in the room. I asked the boy,

" What is your name Forbidden Child?"

" None of your damn business."

" I just made it my business"

" Now, Now! There is no need for you to fight with a young lady," PAUSE " Hiei."

" Kurama! Stay out of it."

Just then the gang had returned and I quickly left the building. That was no place for me, facing my enemy before he was ready. I watched as everybody left, and I was going to go to, but I had felt an energy spike. I returned into the building and I saw the Toguro brothers, standing there alive talking with a very ugly, but wealthy looking man. When they finished their conversation, the younger Toguro looked up at me. I made my face blank and told him that I would be on the team with Yusuke, and I would be the one who would kill the elder Toguro. I turned and left, I had some training to do.

It's funny really, now that I think about it. Just minutes before I claimed to be Yusuke's teammate, I was naming him my enemy. He would remain my enemy, I would just set my feelings aside until after the Tournament. I went to Genkai and told her what had happened. I told her that I was going to be one of the teammates. She said she would go also. It was "requested" of her. I told her I would meet them at the docks when it was time. I left to train.

The time finally came, months later, for me to meet the rest of the team. I get there before Yusuke and Genkai, but after Hiei and Kurama.

This is where my story starts.

Well, I hope you like it, it will not be in first person again. Only to just help explain a little background. This is a crossover, but there are two parts to the story, the first part is in the yu yu hakusho world, and the second is in inuyasha's world. Reviews would be nice. Thanks.
