And From The Shadows
Prologue The sun was hanging low in the sky as a girl broke out of the tree line, stopping just short of falling off the cliff. She turned around, panting hard as a shadowed figure appeared before her. She looked down from the cliff, only to view rapids raging over 100 feet below her then she looked back up to the shadowed figure, her eyes open wide in fear.
"You have no where to go, your life is mine!" a malevolent grin spread across the figures face as a sword was unsheathed and held up into the air. With one last breath, the girl jumped off the cliff, as the sword was swung down apon her. A loud swooshing of air could be heard followed by the angry cussing from the shadowed figure as the girl hit the water, immediately being pulled under and swept away by the undertow. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ----------------
Chapter 1
Playing in the lake were Yuskue, Keiko, Kewabara, and Kurama. Hiei was leaning against a tree, just out of the waters reach, arms crossed. Slowly and quietly, Boton sneaked up Hiei then with one hard shove, pushed him into the water. Angry, he climbed out, his eyes narrow and his hair flat. Everyone stopped playing and looked at Hiei, as they too, climbed out of the water.
"Hiei.....your...your..." started Yuskue but was unable to finish, perhaps out of fear from what he would do to him.
"HIEI YOU'RE A MIDGET!!!" yelled Kewabara, pointing. Hiei's eyes shot to Kewabara, and with a flick of his thumb, unsheathed his sword, raging after kewabara as he ran away.
"I never noticed how short Hiei really was, his hair just made him look so much taller..." said Kurama
"I know." agreed the others "Hmm?" Keiko looked out into the water to see a floating object coming their way. She poked Yuskue and pointed it out.
"UH!! IT'S A GIANT POO!" said Yuskue as he looked to Kurama. "Kurama, will you go out there and see what it is?" Kurama nodded then waded out to where the object was, grasping in his arms and bringing it back onto the shore as Hiei and Kewabara could bearly be seen in the distance. They were all surprised to see that the object was a girl. Yusuke knelt down beside her has Kurama but her down, he took her wrist to feel for a pulse.
"Is she dead?" asked Keiko. Yuskue shook his head no.
"No, she's alive, but just bearly. Comon, lets get her to the house." Kurama picked the girl back up and carried her into the house that they were staying in while they were at the lake, the others following. Kurama laid her down on the couch as they all gathered round to see the mysterious girl.
