Chapter 1

POV---Yumi

"We're going for a walk dad!" I yell as Kohaku and I head out the door "Be careful and be back before dark!" I roll my eyes "No I'm going to go gang banging! Idiot!" I mutter as we run off to the forest behind my father's house. "Why does he never shut up? I mean it's not like he actually CARES he just uses it as another excuse to boss me around!" I swear as we walk to the heart of my escape "He's just trying to make up for not being there when you were a kid. Mainly he is trying to get on your good side." I glare "Oh yeah! Buying my love will REALLY make me care for him! I wish he would just stay out of my life…again!"

All of a sudden there is a rustling to our left and something comes running at us. It was taller than both of us combined (I'm 5'4'', Kohaku is 5'5''), it has red skin and blazing black eyes. There were claws and fangs completely covered in blood "Oh God! Kohaku don't move until I say so." I say while watching the demon (couldn't be anything else) run towards us, 'Wait for it…wait for it.' I see the perfect opportunity and yell "MOVE!!!" Both of us dodge and run deeper into the forest so no one else gets hurt. Kohaku trips over an unseen root and I stop to help her up, the demon tackles me to the ground as I see a flash of white "Get the HELL off of me you fucking bastard!" I yell, even though I can't see myself in a mirror I can feel my eyes turning red.

I kick the demon off me and Kohaku and I jump up "Well," the demon started to rasp out "if it isn't the two opposite forbidden children. Yumi, with the power over ice and light and Kohaku, the mistress of fire and shadows!" That just pushes us over the edge so we end up releasing our demon forms while going into a blood rage. Mixing our light and shadow powers together we blast the demon through the wall behind the desk I had thrown him onto earlier on. He dies after crashing through another ten offices yet we still lust for his blood while a brown haired teenager with a pacifier in his mouth starts yelling at us for destroying his office. "Why the HELL did you decide to DESTROY my OFFICE for?

Turning we growl at Koenma when all of a sudden a demon, fire by the aura, grabs Kohaku from behind and another demon, this one in green, tackles me to the ground. Lying on top of me he starts whispering for me to calm down, he sends out his aura and my eyes return to normal. "See, it's not so hard. Are you going to stay calm now?" he grins at me as I answer in a positive "Now will you let me up?" he does, but takes his sweet old time doing so. "What do you want anyway midget?" I glare at Koenma, but keep an eye on Hiei incase he tries to hurt Kohaku "W-well I was w-wondering…" Koenma trails off as shadows circle his body "Calm down Ko!" I say. Koenma coughs and continues as the shadows retreat "will-you-join-the-team-in-the-Red-Tournament?" I quickly unscramble his last sentence and start to get aggravated "You mean to tell me…that you drug us through a portal, which was OFF the ground by the way, and NOW ask us to HELP YOU FIGHT IN SOME DAMN FUCKING TOURNAMENT!!!" I end up yelling ending with Koenma, still in teenager form, cowering behind what's left of his desk.

Hiei holds Kohaku back while Yusuke holds me so we won't completely kill their stupid, pig-headed, jackass of a boss. "You know what…" I start talking to Kohaku "he's not worth it. I'm out of here!" Koenma starts to open his big mouth, glaring I say "If you ask I will kill you Spirit Detective's present or not!" He shuts his mouth whimpering as Kohaku and I, followed by Hiei and Yusuke, leave through a portal to Master Genkai's temple. Yusuke grabs my arm and says "Your rooms are this way if you want to go to them." I look into his eyes grinning at him "Sure! Thanks a lot." Turns out the room order was as follows; Hiei's room, Kohaku's room, my room, and Yusuke's room.

"What do you wanna do about the tournament Yumi?" Kohaku asks while sitting in my room. "Truly? I want to kill that brat for even asking us to do the damn thing. We have no ties to them so what's the point?" she looks at me like I have two heads "What's the REAL reason you don't want to fight? I know you better than that and something else is bugging you." I stare out of the window and say "When I went into blood rage I wanted to rip everyone to shreds, no one has been able to calm me down in less than an hour. Yusuke did it in less than five MINUTES, it scares me a little. Why was he able to do what no one else, not even you, can do?"

"Why was Hiei able to calm me down when only you have been able too?" Kohaku asks back "Maybe, just maybe, they are the ones for us. If they can accept us as Forbidden Children maybe our curse will break." I look at her with hopeless eyes "I'm not getting my hopes up. You have a chance still, but I don't; remember I took two curses, you only got hit once!" Quickly I change the subject "How did Hiei calm you down?" Kohaku smirks "He entered my mind. Thing is, he didn't sound cold like everyone says he is he was…gentle!" 'Hopefully he'll be your saving grace Shadow Child…unlike me you will be saved!' I thought to myself as she headed back to her room.

Next Mourning

I got up at 5:00 a.m. the next mourning and started my spirit training. "Light Wave Slash!" I yell as I swing my claws down sending off one of my strongest attacks "Not bad!" I hear someone behind me say "What do you want Urameshi?" I bite out. Sighing he stepped behind me and spun me around "Okay, what's wrong?" I look at him emotionlessly "Why do you say something's wrong?" He starts to growl "Do you always answer questions with questions?" I start to open my mouth "Don't answer that!" he sighs again "I asked because I just have a feeling your upset. I just wanted to make sure you're alright." I stare at him for a minute "How about we make a deal? I'll tell you what's wrong with me…" Yusuke grins in triumph "if you tell me what's bugging you!" He stops grinning.

"Is it that noticeable to you? No one else has commented on it!" he looks so sad while saying this "It doesn't show unless you look for it. I happened to be looking for something at that moment. So…" I pause while walking to sit under one of the trees behind Genkai's "start talking or you get nothing from me!" He comes over and sits beside me. "You won't tell anyone right?" I turn to kneel beside him and have him look at me "You have my word!" "Alright." he says with a slight grin.
