I Do not own any Yu Yu Hakusho characters! Only Kymisu =)

Kymisu watched as the two men walked away, both carrying sacks of gold over their shoulders. " Im surprised they didnt try to kill me... " She muttered once they were out of sight.

She got up out of the tree and decided to find some food. She sighed " Maybe i will have more luck today... "

As she walked through the forest, the only animals she saw were deer. " I am way too weak to catch a deer... maybe a baby one but not an adult... " She sighed and continued through the forest. She stopped suddenly and sniffed the air. She could smell someone cooking, cooking meat! Her ears perked up when she heard voices, hiding behind a tree she listened. She heard a family talking about all they had lost to some thieves, but that they were thankful to have everything they did. Kymisu was very hungry, and her stomach was getting the best of her mind. She began to walk towards the wonderful smell of meat.

The man of the family looked up and saw her. He could see she looked very hungry. " Hello there young lady, you look famished. " He made a plate for her as she got closer.

Kymisu bowed and sat next to his fire. " Th... thank you sir. " She said as she took the plate and easily ate everything on in in less than a minute. The man chuckled and smiled at her. " Are you lost? " He said as he gave her more food. " Well... -chomp - not -chomp- really... " She said in between bites. She smiled at the stranger. Looking into his golden eyes, she knew she could trust him. He was a tall, brown haired dog demon. He had black markings on his face beneath his eyes. His ears were pointy like those of an elf and he wore black pants and a plain black shirt.

The mans son sat on a rock, fasinated by this woman that just walked into thier camp. He was no more than 5 years old and very curious. Kymisu watched him as well. She could smell that this little boy was a halfbreed, He had black hair and ears like a dog, and a fluffy tail. His bright golden eyes made him adorable! The little boy wore an outfit very similar to his fathers.

The lady of the house was a human, and that was obvious. Her human scent was very strong. She wore a red kimono and her long black hair was tied in a pony tail that went all the way down her back. Kymisu hadnt seen very many humans in her life, and it was strange that this one wasnt afraid of her.

The man stood smiling at Kymisu. " We are the Inwata family. I am Ainu ( pronounce Eye-New ), this is my wife Misu, And my son Taiki. What is your name? "

Kymisu smiled and finished her last bite of food before speaking. " My Name is Kymisu "

Ainu smiled at her. " You are welcome to stay here with my family and I. Would you mind telling us what you were doing out in the middle of nowhere? "

Kymisu looked down, she tried holding in the tears that flowed down her cheeks at the thought of her mother lying in the puddle of blood. She wondered if she could actually tell these people the truth, and decided it was the best thing to do, after all they were accepting her into thier home. " I am from the east... Yesterday when i woke up my mother was dead... A large bear demon was attacking my father, and he told me to run away and not to look back. I dont even know if he is alive... "

Ainu looked shocked hearing this and put his arm around Kymsu's shoulder. " You have had a hard few days... no wonder you look so exhausted. I must get to my job in town, but you are welcome to stay here with my family. " Kymisu nodded slowly wiping away the tears and curled herself into a ball next to the fire. Ainu looked at his son " Be nice to kimisu taiki, she needs alot of rest, do not pester her to play with you every 5 minutes. " He smiled at the boy before leaving.

Taiki got up and started to play with his sling shot shooting pebbles and acorns at birds as they flew by, While Misu gathered up the days laundry and started to wash it. Kymisu layed by the fire for most of the day, not wanting to speak. She couldnt get her mind off her father, and wondering if he ever made it out of the house alive.

Later that night after supper, Ainu gave Kymisu a sleeping bag in the living room next to the fire as the rest of them went to bed as well. She nodded off quickly and slept soundly for a while.

Around midnight Youko and Kuronue show up at this house. They have plans to steal the rest of the gold, and anything valuble from the Inwata family. Kuronue steps into the house quietly almost tripping over Kymisu's sleeping bag. " Well this wasnt here last night... " he muttered looking down. Youko came over to look, and recognized her. " This is that girl from this morning... i wonder if she is related to these people? " Kuronue shrugged " who cares. lets get the rest of the stuff! " Kuronue starts to pick up every little thing of value in the entire house, and Youko goes into the individual rooms doing the same. As Kuronue is walking around the room, he forgets that Kymisu is laying there asleep, and he trips falling ontop of her.

Kymisu awakes suddenly and screams. Kuronue's eyes get wide and he covers her mouth. " Hey fox! lets get out of here before we get caught! " Youko runs into the room and throws Kymisu over his shoulder. " You stupid bat! watch your feet from now on!" he says as he runs out of the house. Kuronue looks confused " Why the hell are we taking her? " Youko gives him a smirk " She has seen our faces you idiot. She can identify us. " Kuronue smirks as he runs through the forest " True... dont need that to happen! "
