Shadow: …….Wow. Only three reviewers? –Sniffs- I feel the love…

Hiei: And it was from Yin, Fawks, and some random person. Pathetic…

Shadow: -Blinks- I know… -goes into deep depression-

Hiei: -eyes widen- Baka! Your story has only been up for a week! And the gang wasn't even in it! Don't be depressed!

Shadow: But…many people read my story and only three reviews…-still in depression-

Hiei: -rolls eyes- Shadow does not own YYH or Yin. Get over it.

Chapter 2: Years Later

"MISS KITSUNA!!!"

Yin popped out of the daze she had wandered into. "Huh?"

"I asked you if you knew the answer on the board! Now, would you be so kind as to answer it?" The teacher's face was turning red from frustration.

He's going to pop a blood vessel… Yin thought with a sigh. "Six hundred, eight seven and three fourths."

"Wrong! Wait…that's correct!" The teacher blinked. "Now class…"

He was droning again. Yin sighed and rested her head on her notebook, tuning out the monotonous voice of the teacher. She returned to what had caused her to lose focus before. Why had she joined the Reikai Tentai team? Why?! That bitch Koenma had her going to school with Kurama, or, as called in Nigenkai, Shuichi Minimino.

Years ago, her family and the rest of the village's survivors had moved to Nigenkai for protection from the bandits and thieves that had destroyed their village. She had needed something to get her mind off of losing her best friend, Shadow, during that ordeal.

Did she make it out? Yin wondered to herself. She shook her head slightly. The reason she had joined the team was so that she could distract herself, and getting some revenge didn't seem like a bad idea.

RING!

The bell rang, and Yin was the first one out of the room. She greeted Kurama in the hallway. "Hey. We need to see our boss later." They had resorted to calling Koenma "The Boss" when they were in public so that they could talk without arising suspicion.

Kurama smiled, his emerald eyes sparkling as he slid an arm over Yin's shoulders. "Yes, I know."

Yin rolled her eyes when she recognized the golden tone that had managed to flash in Kurama's eyes. "Control yourself."

She sweat dropped when one of his fan girls glared at her. Just when will they get over the fact that Kurama and I are going out? She watched as more girls joined the first. Probably never…

Over the past few years that she had been on the Spirit Detective team, she and Kurama had gotten closer. Just about a week ago, he had told her his feelings for her. With some help from his demonic counterpart. She thought with a smile.

FLASHBACK

Kurama and Yin sat on a bench in the park. The sun was setting and the last of the birds flying south for the winter passed over them, the V they formed perfectly slicing through the sky towards the sunset.

Yin smiled and leaned onto Kurama's shoulder. "It's so pretty…"

Kurama turned to look at her. "Yes…very beautiful." His eyes softened.

Yin was enjoying the moment when Kurama suddenly clutched his head. "What is it?"

Kurama chuckled and looked at her, his eyes golden.

"Oh. Hello, Youko." Yin sighed. "Why are you out?"

Youko was about to say something, but just let out a very frustrated breath. "Damn it…"

Yin raised an eyebrow. "That's what you came to say?"

"Yes. I mean, no! I need to tell you something that Shuichi couldn't say on his own."

Yin looked at him expectantly. When he didn't go on, she spoke. "And what would that be?"

Youko looked like he was at a loss for words. "I…uh…we…um…"

Yin giggled and settled back down on his shoulder. "You're funny."

Youko blinked. "I just don't know how to put it into words…Can I show you?"

Yin smiled, "Sure."

Youko reached forward and took Yin's chin in his, well…Kurama's, hand and tilted it up.

Surprise and pleasure flashed through Yin as he kissed her tentatively on the corner of her mouth. When she looked at him again, his eyes shone the brilliant green that she had fell in love with. "I love you, too." She pulled him down and kissed him full on the lips as the sun set in the distance, rendering the world around them in darkness.

END FLASHBACK

Yin remembered that moment with a happy sigh.

"Yin? Yiiiin…"

She blinked when she realized that Kurama's hand was waving in front of her face. "Oh!"

"You were really spaced out there for a minute. What were you thinking about?" Kurama smiled. He knew, just wanted to see if she would tell him.

"Oh, you know…that you are such a great kisser!" She said, loud enough for the girls who were glaring at them to hear.

If it were possible, they would've burst into flames from the extent of their anger.

If looks could kill… Yin thought, sweat dropping.

She followed Kurama out of the school and into the park. When there, she noticed that Yusuke and Kuwabara were there. Normally Yusuke was late… "Skipped school again, did we?"

Yusuke grinned and ignored the question. He greeted her with the normal "play punch" to her shoulder. "What's up? How was school?"

Yin sighed. "You would know if you went there once in a while."

Yusuke laughed. "You're probably right!"

"Urameshi! Don't hit girls!"

"Kami-sama, still?! When will you get rid of that honor code of yours, Kuwabaka?!"

Kuwabara seethed at the nickname. Him and Yusuke started brawling right then and there.

"Hn. Bakas."

Yin noticed Hiei in the tree. "Hi Squirrel Boy!" She grinned.

Hiei's eye twitched. "Don't call me squirrel boy, baka onna."

Kurama sighed. "We can continue this later. Right now, we need to see Koenma."

They all walked into towards the portal that had opened once they called Botan. Yusuke led the way to Koenma's office.

"It's about time!" Koenma raged from behind his desk.

"We had school, you baka." Yin grinned. She could never take Koenma seriously in his toddler form. "Well, some of us." She added, grinning at Yusuke.

"Now, what do you have for us this time, Koenma-san?" Kurama asked before Yusuke could retort.

"We have captured one of the thieves of the Kageromaru Band." Koenma simply stated.

Yin gasped. "How? What? When?!" She was well familiar with the Kageromaru Band. That was the band of thieves that had set fire to her village and caused Shadow's disappearance. Her eyes narrowed at the memory.

"It seems one of them turned on the others. They were all massacred. The one we caught had been roaming around Makai aimlessly. She didn't give us a fight in her arrest." Koenma continued. "Because she had practically turned herself in, she will be joining the team as punishment."

"She?!" Yusuke asked.

Kuwabara grinned goofily. "Is she hot?"

Hiei just rolled his eyes.

Koenma sighed. "You will meet her tomorrow at Genkai's temple. It is to my understanding that you are off for a few weeks for winter break, is that correct?"

"Yes…" Yin hissed.

Portals opened up and they all were pulled into them.

Kurama and Yin landed near her house.

"That was interesting…" Kurama looked at Yin. "Yin?"

Yin's jaw was clenched and her hands were balled into fists.

"Yin, calm down." Kurama placed his hand on yin's shoulders. "What's wrong?"

"She's going to wish she never got caught." Yin hissed through her teeth. "I'm going to make her life a living hell-" She blinked.

Kurama took away the finger he had placed to her lips to silence her. "You'll worry about that tomorrow. Now, get a good night's sleep and I'll meet you at the temple first thing tomorrow morning, okay?"

Yin sighed. "Yeah…" They now stood on her doorstep.

Kurama lowered his head to hers. As soon as their lips touched-

"OKAY! Break it up, you two!" Yin's brother ran out of the house and grabbed Yin's hand. He pulled her towards the house.

Yin sighed and waved to the chuckling Kurama with her free hand. As soon as she was in the house, she sighed and let out her black fox ears and tail. That's better… "Night…"

"Don't 'Night' me! You stay away from him!"

Yin sighed. Her brother, Night, had watched over her since their parents had died. He was really over protective. "Why?"

"I don't trust his other side!"

Yin rolled her eyes. He was talking about Youko. "It's fine. He's really sweet, and I can take care of myself."

Night sighed. Something was bothering Yin. Normally she was really hyper when she came home. "Just be careful."

Yin grinned all of the sudden. "I know! Let's make cookies!!!"

Night anime fell. "Um, okay…" Maybe she's fine after all…

"So…she's going to join the team?"

"Yup." Yin put down the glass of milk she had had with her cookies, content.

"Well, she killed all the others, so maybe she's good." Night suggested, cleaning up the dishes.

"That just means that she's dangerous. It going to take all of my self control to not kill her." She grinned.

Night sweat dropped. "You're scary sometimes…Why don't you go to sleep so you will have energy for tomorrow."

"Yep! Okie dokie!" Yin grinned. "G'night, Night!" She giggled and ran to her room.

It's going to be a long day tomorrow… Night thought with a sigh.
