A/N- This is a dream sequence, so it's from his point of veiw. I hope it's okay, also I don't own Yu Yu Hakusho. Enjoy!


Prologue: A Painful Memory

Moving with great speed I made my way after my mother, my father's dying words resounding in my head. 'Protect your mother, only you can do that now...make sure to keep your identity a secret or they will find you, make me proud...' dodging a falling beam, I pushed my mother into the waiting taxi closing the door behind us. Yelling our destination at the socked form of the driver, I felt my mother gripping my still bleeding fist, when I felt the car begin to move only then did I turn to my mother to check her for any wounds. She looked okay, only a few scratches and marks marred her form, letting my gaze drift back to our burning home I let out a slight breath barely relaxing my form in the tiny vehicle.

I let my mind run over the night's events with crystal clarity while we waited for the taxi to reach our destination,

The day had started out like all the other's, I was in the training hall with my father for several hours when we had heard mother calling for us, telling us that we needed to come in for dinner. While we were making our way out of the training hall, we both froze, sensing the looming danger that was coming. Following my father's lead, I withdrew my blade my back touching my father's; we remained silent for a long moment. Until at our side something moved, pulling my blade flat against my chest, I watched as my father moved on the motion. Surprisingly it was only my mother who had made that noise, she had felt something too when we hadn't appeared in the kitchen like we always did, she had taken it upon herself as she made her way towards the training hall clutching a carving knife defensively.

Seeing her I watched father's face brighten slightly, but he was still wary, he was glancing about making sure that it was my mother that we had felt not someone or something else. Finding no one else about, we started to make our way back to the house when out of no where a group of men appeared, telling me to protect my mother I watched as my father engaged the men his sword drawn and ready. Pushing my mother behind me, I stood my ground as I watched my father kill two of the men easily, but then one of the men was behind my father and cut him down before he disappeared with the remaining men leaving us to stand alone in the clearing. I held my mother in place as I watched my father sink slightly but regain his footing, he looked at me as he spit up a handful of blood.

I gripped my sword hilt so hard my knuckles had turned white from the strain, I listened around us and caught one of those men, he was trying to sneak up on my mother and me. Clearing my face of all emotions I closed my eyes feeling every step the human took, I waited until he was close enough and in a blur of speed I removed his head in one clean stroke. Glancing about one more time I let go of my mother and allowed her to run to my father, he was only able to stand because he was placing most of his weight upon his sword. It was only moments latter that my father lay dead, I had made a promise to my mother so I knew that the only way I could protect her was for us to leave and destroy any evidence of our existence. If humans had sent those men to kill us demons then it was only safe to guess that they would want to make sure. So on that note, I set our home on fire and left my father's corpse behind taking his blade with me, we only had one place to go, into the world of mortals.
