Me and the Penguin Army

Disclaimers: I don't own Yu Yu Hakusho, whoever gave you that idea is not a very reliable source of information. I am having this entire story in Ixi's POV, she is telling a story to her niece and nephew.

Prologue: A Rainy Day's Discovery

"Auntie Ixi!" My niece, Chloe, yelled as she ran to my open arms. I picked her up and swung her in a circle before being attacked by Rayden, my nephew. The three of us fell down laughing like idiots. Putting myself in a sitting position to talk to my older sister Aunna as she ran worried to me. "Hey sis, so you will be back around 7 then?" I asked putting Chloe in my lap. "Yeah, if you can handle them for that long." "Of course I can, we're good buddies! Let them stay the night if you need extra time, they got clothes here!" I exclaimed laughing. "Okay if you're sure, see ya Ixi." Aunna waved bye to me as she got into her car.

"So . . whatcha want to do first?" I asked while standing up. They were about to answer when several huge raindrops fell from the sky, and dropped on our heads. "No!" Chloe cried when the rain started pouring from the sky. We ran into the house, covering our heads as the rain came down. "Darn, well we'll just have ta find something inside to do." I commented lightly. "What do you have to do?" Rayden asked. "Uh?" I said thinking. "I probably have some fun junk in my attic." I could see their disappointed faces, I had after all promised to take them into the forest today, on a nature hike. The eggs in the nest we saved a while ago had hatched a few days ago, and they wanted to see them. "Will the baby birdies be okay in the rain, auntie Ixi?" Chloe asked worriedly looking out the window to the forest. "Yeah Chloe they'll be fine. Their parents are very protective over them. Come on, we can explore my attic, there is a bunch of junk in there to get into."

I took their hands and led them up the stairs. The door was jammed because I hadn't been up there in a while, so I had to ram my shoulder into it a few times before it gave way. The three of us coughed with the stirred up dust and I flicked on a light. The space was jammed packed with a bunch of my junk. Upon seeing all the neat stuff jammed in there, Rayden and Chloe took off in exploration. I walked in after them and I heard my name called out at the same exact time. "Auntie Ixi! Come here!" They cried, from the same place and I ran to them. They were standing in front of an old chest. The old woodwork was beautifully engraved. "Yeah, whatcha find?" I asked already knowing what was in the chest. "This box won't open!" Rayden complained, annoyed as usual when things didn't happen right away. I smiled and walked over to the chest. "Well with this chest, you got to give it reason to open." I got blank faces.

"Here I show you." I kicked the chest right where a lock would be, if this chest had one, and the chest's lid clicked open. The two kids finished opening the lid to reveal several sketchbooks, journals, pictures etc . . . from a while ago, all covered in dust. Chloe gingerly picked up a sketchbook and flipped it open. A picture of a boy clad in dark attire stared back at her. "Who's this?" She asked pointing to him. I leaned over, unsure of which book she had withdrawn from the chest. "Oh, Hiei?" I asked surprised. "Who's He-eh?" She asked trying to sound the unfamiliar name out. I smiled, "Well, you would only truly know who he was if you heard the story behind that sketchbook of mine." I said tempting them with a story. "A story?" Rayden asked, "Is it any good?" He never did like stories that much, unless of course they were on TV. "Well it's only good if you like stories with adventure, mystery, magic, life-or-death situations, a entire world unknown to humans, and the thrill of a lifetime." I said, kinda over- selling the story. "There is also monsters in it Rayden." I said to him, the magic had sold Chloe, but the monsters got Rayden hook, line and sinker.

"Okay, where should I begin?" I said sitting down, and taking some other items from the chest, "The beginning I suppose." Rayden and Chloe both sat down too excited from the way I was building it up. "Okay, it all begins my first day of Sarayashiki Public Junior High. As a kid, lots of weird things always seemed to happen around me that couldn't be explained, so we were constantly moving around the country. Well, I had always hated starting over and . . . .

A/N: Well, what do you think of it so far? The next chapter is already in progress because I added the telling of a story element after I started the story but it should actually work out better than before. I promise lots of humor to come, and the YYH gang will be in the next chapter. I mean come on, "Me and the Penguin Army"? What about that tittle does not say humor? Well I hope to update soon and for all of you reading my other stories, I am working on them too, but this came up and I ran with it, so don't worry those will be updated too. Please review.
