PROLOGUE
It was 10:00 at night and Genkai was restless. She was unable to get to sleep and had settled on the roof of her house to meditate and watch the stars as they twinkled brightly over the shadowy mountain range beyond the deep woods surrounding her home.
She was once again completely alone in her isolated home. Yukina had left a good two or three years ago with Kazuma Kuwabara and sometimes Genkai missed the ice apparition's company, but she had quickly adapted back into her life of private and calm isolation after the used-to-be Spirit Detectives had gone off to live their lives.
Sighing softly, she listened to the quiet chirp of the birds that accompanied her in her sleepless evening.
It was early Spring and the breeze that ruffled her gray-pink hair was warm with the scent of cherry blossoms. A slight smile creased her old face as she reminisced on the old days of her life when she was spunky and sharp tongued, not that she had lost any of those attributes.
Suddenly there was a prick in her spirit awareness. Something powerful was approching her very slowly... Cautiously.
Genkai forced herself easily to not look alert but was completely on guard. She knew exactly where this demon was coming from and the energy seemed achingly familiar, painfully familiar.
After the demon energy had not moved for a long five minutes Genkai stood and turned, "You suck at hiding and covering your demon energy. Come out and if it's a fight you want I'll kill you with a flick of my hand." She said cooly staring unwaveringly in the direction of the energy.
There was silence for a long moment before a lean muscular boy of about 15 melted out of the leaves of the nearest tree, "Well that's no way to talk to your son..."
The boy already had a deep voice for his age and had strikingly familiar features. His hair was coal black and came down to the tops of his ears and caramel brown eyes that had a constant icy glare in them.
Genkai nearly fainted. She gasped softly as her words got stuck in her throat. Finally she managed, "A... Akumu..."
The boy gave her a dry smile, "Oh good so you remember my name... I also assume you remember how you let my father die at the hands of the bastard Yusuke Urameshi. Eh? Does that ring a bell you old bitch?" He hissed, gritting his teeth.
Genkai remembered all too well how she had let her used-to-be lover, the younger of the Toguro brothers and her once upon a time partner in battle be massacred by her apprentice. She also grimly remembered far too detailed how he had almost killed her, "What's it matter? He's dead and there's no way he'll come back." She choked out, hating herself for creating the monster standing in front of her.
Akumu gave an insane grin, "Oh really? Have you forgotten what I can do, mother?!" He snarled.
Genkai went stiff, "I can bring the dead to life! I can bring the dead back to be my slaves... And mark my words I'll damn that Yusuke to the worst pits of hell and there's nothing you can do about it!" He cackled and was off as soon as he had come.
