Chapter 2

The room went silent as everyone turned towards the door in anticipation of the arrival of the two girls. Seconds later, the first girl stormed in, clearly agitated. She was only about 4'11 and had shoulder length black hair that was cropped in short layers. Her outfit consisted of dark grey skinny jeans, an off-the-shoulder white sweater, a dog-tag necklace, and black military boots. Seemingly oblivious to the room's other occupants, she stopped in the middle of the office, threw herself to the floor, and proceeded to glare daggers at the ceiling.

Yusuke whistled. "Hey, angry,short girl is hot!" She sat up and focused her glare on Yusuke instead. Then quickly scanning the room, she said, "He looks like he's quiet and won't annoy me," and walked over to sit against the wall, next to Hiei.

Hiei opened his eyes and growled, "Onna, your negative energy is bothering me." At that moment, the second girl came walking in with an explanation. She was taller than her sister and stood at about 5'5. She was dressed simply in a white v-neck, magenta shorts, and white sandals, and her long, dark brown hair fell gently over her shoulders in waves. The two girls didn't look like twins; the only things they had in common were a slim build, Japanese face, and a pair of uncommon hazel eyes. "Um, I apologize. My sister's temper can flare up sometimes. She became aggravated when she saw this guy trying to forcibly kiss me earlier. I really could've handled him myself though." She stopped when she saw Yusuke staring at her.

"Hey binky breath! Nice twins. That one's kinda hot and this one's kinda cute." "Urameshi, you idiot. Grow up, you're engaged to Keiko!" "But Keiko wants to wait before we get married! She says we're still kind of young." Kuwabara tackled Yusuke, and the two boys commenced their usual brawling routine on the floor for a minute or two.

Kurama walked over with a laugh. "Don't mind them. You'll get used to it; even at their age, they act like this all the time. I'm Kurama." He didn't feel the need to hide his demon name from the two girls. "Hiei's the one by your sister, and the two boys on the floor are Yusuke and Kuwabara." Yusuke gave a "Yo!" in greeting, while Kuwabara waved and offered a big, goofy smile. Still slightly blushing from Yusuke's comment, she shook his hand and said,"I'm Misuzu and my sister over there is Miyuki." She giggled. "She'll calm down in a bit, but we're both very pleased to meet you all."

Koenma, who had been amusing himself just by quietly watching everything, spoke up. "These girls used to be living with the Hakase's, but I'm placing them in your care now." Familiar with them, Kurama nodded. Mr. and Mrs. Hakase were a wealthy middle-aged couple that kept a large home in the Ningenkai and acted as foster parents for children Koenma sent them; they even kept rooms for some of the older ones as well. Glancing over at Yusuke, "Don't screw things up." He summoned a portal.

Yusuke and Kuwabara quickly clambered in. Kurama smiled. "Shall we?" Misuzu smiled back and followed him through. After a minute or two, Hiei finally got up silently and entered the portal without looking back. Miyuki grunted. "Some gentleman he is. Could've helped me up. Hmph." And with that, Koenma was left alone in his office.


"Come on girls, we have to finish before the boys get back!" Koenma had told Botan about Misuzu and Miyuki. "Aw Yukina, you have paint on your nose. You look adorable!" The ice maiden giggled. Then Botan told Keiko and Yukina about the twins the day before, and the three of them decided to prepare two rooms as a welcoming present. Botan had some ogres bring over Misuzu and Miyuki's things from the Hakase's, as well as some brand new furniture from the Spirit Realm. The girls painted, decorated, and arranged and rearranged furniture. Shizuru had even pitched in a bit. The girls were just putting in the finishing touches, making sure that everything was nice and neat. Keiko finished up organizing clothing into drawers and closets. "I'm done here," she called out. "Do you think they'll like their rooms?" Yukina walked over and smiled. "I hope so." Botan eyed their finished work. "Of course they will! We did great! Now let's go get cleaned up."


Misuzu stepped out of the portal and shut her eyes, blinking a few times before reopening them. The sun was shining brightly on this beautiful spring afternoon. She shook her head and took a look at her surroundings. The portal had let them out on a dirt path in what seemed to be a forest. And just a few yards ahead was what seemed to be the longest flight of steps she had ever seen. Misuzu smiled. She always felt at home in nature and she didn't mind some light exercise.

"Hey sis. Sorry about earlier." Miyuki walked up from behind. "It's alright, Miyu. Although, you really didn't need to break his nose." The two sisters laughed and walked over to Yusuke and Kuwabara who were loudly complaining about how Koenma sent them to the bottom of the stairs rather than the top.

"Hi, we didn't really meet earlier. I'm Kuwabara, and you can trust me to protect you while you stay here!" Kuwabara grinned and introduced himself to Miyuki. He was suddenly pushed aside. "Yeah right. I can pummel you any day. I'm Yusuke Urameshi! Nice to meet you. Well, if you aren't still pissed."

"Call me hot again and you'll see just what I can do." Yusuke and Kuwabara exchanged nervous glances. Miyuki laughed and punched Yusuke in the arm playfully. "Kidding! Race you guys up the stairs"! She took off and the two boys scrambled after, yelling out, "Hey! Not fair!"

Misuzu didn't want to join, so she just smiled and began to walk up at a leisurely pace. She saw Kurama walking slightly ahead of her and took the chance to get a better look at him. Earlier, she had thought he was kind of attractive and her cheeks tinted pink at the thought again. She couldn't hope for anything though; she was just an ordinary girl, and he probably wouldn't give her a second thought. He was pretty tall, though not like Kuwabara's height, and had gorgeous, long red hair. He turned and smiled, waiting for her. He was well-toned, but not overly muscular, and dressed well. He also had a pair of deep, enticing emerald eyes. She was pretty sure those were not the eyes of an ordinary human.

Reaching his side, Misuzu asked Kurama, "Where do these stairs lead to?" "We're going to Genkai's temple. She was a friend of ours and left it to us when she passed. All this surrounding land and forest was hers too. We pretty much all live here now." "What of Hiei? I didn't see him exit the portal." Kurama laughed. "He comes and goes. Here, watch the trees." Misuzu turned and stopped walking for a moment. For a second, she saw a black blur, but when she looked again, it was gone. She turned back to Kurama. "That was him, wasn't it?" He nodded. "He's incredibly fast." He nodded again and smiled. They walked the rest of the way in silence, but it was a comfortable, peaceful one as opposed to an empty, awkward silence.

At the top of the stairs, Misuzu found Yusuke and Kuwabara splattered on the floor. A tall, young woman with long brown hair and a cigarette in her mouth came through the gate and dumped a bucket of water on the boys. The two jumped up and grumbled before walking in. "Hello Shizuru," greeted Kurama. She nodded towards him and told Misuzu, "If my baby bro or the other idiot over there ever cause you trouble, feel free to come to me about it." Misuzu laughed and replied,"Okay. Nice to meet you, Shizuru." She smiled and said the same thing back. When Shizuru pushed open the gate to walk back in, Kurama held it for Misuzu and said,"Welcome to your new home."

Misuzu replied with a thank you. Upon entering her new home, she let out a small gasp. "It's beautiful," she whispered. It was April, and the sakura trees in the courtyard were in full bloom. As a little girl, cherry blossoms were her favorite thing in the world. Now, she maybe preferred roses and gardenias, but seeing the pink petals blowing through the air was captivating nonetheless. Considering that Kurama had called it a temple, she was expecting older styled buildings. Instead, there was a fairly modern looking building in front of her. It had white walls, a few windows, a Buddhist style tiled roof, and sliding glass doors in the front. Misuzu smiled. She was looking forward towards getting to know these people and living here. What would be in store for her and her sister here?


Well there we go. Meet the devil's daughters, Misuzu and Miyuki. (:
