Lizard: 'lo, I'm Lizard! An' that's Emma! We're writin' this fanfic
together, but postin' it on my account. If you wanna see her penname, it's
Kakurell. Of course. In case that didn't tip you off, she owns Kaku, and
Kaku's kinda based on her. Same goes for me an' Kozu. But I'm 14 and she
looks 12. Anyways, that's all we own. Yu Yu Hakusho isn't ours (WAH!) but
that's okay. Just read an' review it, 'k?

Soul Shadows---Chapter One: New Cases, New Encounters
*Yusuke, Hiei, Kurama, Kuwabara, Botan, Yukina, and Keiko are walking through some dark scary woods with another case.*
Yusuke: *glares around, hands in pockets* Remind me why we're on this stupid nature hike anyways.
Botan: *cheerfully* Because its an important case from Koenma! Two powerful demons have been located around here, posing a potential threat to those around them. None who have entered the forest lately have come back alive. So far, their intentions are unknown.
Kuwabara: But why did we have to bring Yukina? She might get hurt or something!
Yusuke: Yeah, Botan, why are you guys here?
Botan: ^_^'
Keiko: You don't honestly think I'd let you go alone after last time you ran off to that tournament, do you? *glares at Yusuke* What if you got yourself killed again?
Botan: *sighs in relief* Saved.
Yusuke: I HEARD THAT!
Botan: Anyways, we're supposed to capture the demons and bring them back.
Hiei: Hn. Pointless.
Kuwabara: Ooh! I sense something! Maybe it's them! *glances around* Stay close, Yukina.
Hiei: *death glare* Baka.
Kuwabara: WHAT WAS THAT, SHORTY?
Kurama: *small smile* And they're off...
*The bushes rustle and three figures step out*
Rinku: Look, it's big, ugly, and stupid. *bounces on his tiptoes* Toldja it wasn't worth comin'...
Touya: Hello, Kurama. We meet again. *He nods a greeting to Kurama, who nods back*
Kurama: Indeed.
Jin: Been quite a long time, hasn't it then, Yusuke? My ears still get pointy thinkin' about our last match. *grins and winks*
Botan: Right then. You boys gave us quite a scare! *turns to Yukina* These are Rinku, Jin, and Touya, some old friends.
Yukina: *bows* It's a pleasure to meet you.
Kuwabara: *has been gritting teeth this whole time, finally bursts out* YOU LITTLE RUNT! *rushes towards Rinku*
Yukina: Kazuma!
Botan: *sweatdrops* Now, boys... Remember we're here with a case... Maybe they can help us.
Kuwabara: *completely ignores them* YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!
Rinku: Blockhead. *he quickly jumps out of the way and onto a tree branch. Kuwabara rams into a rock that was behind him*
Kuwabara: *rubs head* Come back and fight like a man, you twerp!
Rinku: *sits, pretends to think it over* Why? So I can beat you again?
Kuwabara: *fuming* Why you-
*He is interrupted as Rinku is knocked out of the tree and into the ground. A girl who looks about twelve years old and is about Rinku's height with a long brown ponytail, green eyes like Kurama's, overalls, sneakers, a yellow t-shirt with navy sleeves, and a leather collar with a blue crystal is huggling Rinku, who isn't taking it very well.*
Girl: Rinku! *huggles tighter*
Everyone except Rinku, Kuwabara, and the Girl: *sweatdrop*
Yusuke: ... That's unexpected...
Rinku: *blushes* Would you... get off me?
Girl: 'k! *cheerfully gets up as if nothing unusual happened and turns to the staring group* 'lo!
Kuwabara: *panting* Who's this, squirt? Your girlfriend?
Rinku: *eyes wide* Wha? I've never seen her!
Yusuke: Then let's try a more direct approach. Kid, who the hell are you?
Girl: I'm Kozuye Toshiko, a fox demon. I'm in human form, of course, I've been watchin' you for 'bout an hour now, an'-
Yusuke: You're in love with Rinku.
Keiko: YUSUKE! *slaps him* They're little kids!
Yusuke: @.@ They're demons. Who knows how they work?
Keiko: *slaps Yusuke again anyways*
Hiei: Hn... *reaches for katana*
Botan: Do you think she could be one of the ones we're looking for?
Voice: It's a possibility. *a girl appears in a nearby tree branch with long brown hair, red dragon eyes, red marks on her cheeks, tan skin, sword, golden wristbands, brown pants, dark brown shoes, a green collared shirt, and about the same height as Kuwabara. She leaps down and strides over to Hiei.*
Girl: *Expressionlessly* My name is Kakurell Drakken. *she glances over to Kozuye* I see you've met Kozu.
Kozu: Yep!
Hiei: *draws sword* You're hardly worth my time. Any last words?
Kaku: You may be surprised.
Botan: Oh my! Then you two are the ones killing people who enter the forest?
Kaku: No, that would be just me. *nods at Kozu* She'd rather play with them.
Kozu: *pouts* But you killed them all. That wasn't very nice.
Kaku: It doesn't matter. Those demons weren't even worth talking about. *she gazes at Hiei with an odd spark in her expressionless eyes* You, however...
Kozu: You're gonna fight him, Kaku? But I thought you...
Kaku: *death glare* Why don't you children go play somewhere else?
Kuwabara: I'm no child! I'm a man!
Kaku: Of course you are. And I'm in love with Rinku.
Kozu: HEY! Mine! *huggles Rinku, who looks utterly confused and uncomfortable*
Kaku: It was sarcasm, hairball.
Kurama: Hiei...
Hiei: Feh. This won't take long.
Botan: Maybe we should get out of their way. *backs up, pulling Yukina and Keiko along. Yusuke and the demons follow*
Kuwabara: Hey, this one's mine, shorty! She insulted my manliness! In front of Yukina, no less! Besides, her Spirit Energy is weak... even the child's is stronger.
Kaku: *smirks* Fool, I have no need for Spirit Energy. *draws sword and tosses it in the air, swithching it to the other hand* Let's go.
Kuwabara: You're asking for it! I won't beat you too hard because you're a girl though...
Kozu: Oh boy... bad move by the baka...
Kaku: *smirks, eyes glinting* Oh thank you so much. I'll be sure to remember that you were a gentleman for your tombstone.
Kuwabara: You don't honestly think you can win, do you? Spirit Sword!!! *his spirit sword appears. Duh.*
Kaku: *cuts her arm with her sword so the blood is running down her arm to her fingers* Right, let's do this before I fall asleep.
Kuwabara: You're insane! *charges anyways* YAAAAAAAAAAAAH!
Kaku: *sidesteps the attack at the last second and flicks her wrist at him, spattering blood on his arm and the side of his face* Pathetic.
Kuwabara: *falls to the ground, screaming in agony*
Kozu: *winces* Ouch.
Kaku: Fool. I told you I had no need to use Spirit Energy. My blood itself is one of the strongest acids you can find. I will spare you, only because it's not worth it to kill you. *smirks* Besides, I'd rather watch you suffer.
Kuwabara: *still screaming in agony*
Everyone except Hiei, Kaku, Kozu, and Kuwabara: *gapes at Kaku and Kuwabara*
Kozu: Didja hafta use that one? I don't like him either, but... *shudders*
Kaku: *licks fingers* I gave him a warning. *turns to Hiei* One I will give you as well. I would rather not kill you knowing that it was due to your ignorance.
Hiei: Hn. You don't need to worry. I won't lose.
Kaku: *turns to Yukina* You may want to help him. I didn't want to abuse him, so there's only a few drops, but- *shrugs and kicks dirt into Kuwabara's face*
Yukina: *eyes wide, looks horrified as she drags Kuwabara away from Kaku to the edge of the clearing* Stay still, I'll heal you, Kazuma.
Kuwabara: *whimpers*
Kaku: *yawns* This will take awhile. I suppose we'll see what damage was done soon enough.
Botan: *whispers* Yusuke, how are we supposed to capture her? If you wound her, it's only to her advantage!
Yusuke: Dammit, I know Botan!
Kurama: There's another matter. What shall we do with the girl? *motions to Kozu*
Rinku: *is backing away from Kozu and backs into Jin and Touya's legs* Huh?
Jin: What're you up to then? Runnin' away are ya?
Rinku: *glares up from his sitting position* DUH! What else would I be doin'?
Touya: *starts laughing under his breath*
Jin: Better than some o' those other demon girls you could get, neh?
Rinku: What're you sayin'?
Touya: *rolls around on the ground laughing in a very un-Touya-like way*
Rinku: ???
Touya: *composes himself* I'm okay. Continue Jin.
Jin: I think you know what I'm sayin'... lovebird.
Rinku: What the heck are you talkin' about? Some random girl comes along an' you think I'm in love. You're demented.
Kozu: Prob'ly. But then, most boys are.
Rinku: AHH! Go away!
Kozu: Relax, yeesh. Males. I just wanted to say sorry, cuz I was excited earlier. I didn't mean to scare you. So... sorry.
Rinku: *blinks*
Jin: Aww... how sweet.
Kozu: Eat dirt and die.
Jin: *.* They are perfectly matched.
Kozu: *tackles Jin and attempts to shove mud into his mouth, succeeding only in smearing it all over his face* Don't be mean, baka.
Touya: *amusedly* She says as she shoves mud in his face. How ironic.
Rinku: *blinks*
Yusuke: See, Keiko? They are perfect.
Keiko: Puppy love. How cute!
Yusuke: They'll make a good couple.
Keiko: *slaps Yusuke* YUSUKE!
Yusuke: What?! You said it too!
Keiko: Don't go there!
Kozu: *growls and pounces at Yusuke and Keiko*
Kurama: *catches her by the collar and holds her in the air* I'm sorry, but I cannot allow you to injure them.
Kozu: *glares at Kurama, then lowers gaze* 'k...
Kaku: Very well, then. Let's go, Hiei.
Hiei: Fine.
*******************************************************************
Lizard: That's all for now. Basically, Kozu's been subdued, but don't think that'll last long! Kaku and Hiei are ready to fight, an' Yukina's healin' Kuwabara. Yay!
Emma: You have to end everything you say with that don't you?
Lizard: Nope, with Yay! Not that. Yay!
Emma: -.- Anyways, keep reading because next time, the duel between Hiei and Kaku is going to get into full swing as Kaku reveals even more of her secrets. It seems Hiei is fighting blind while Kaku knows everything about her opponent. Also, find out if Kuwabara's going to be okay. Let's hope not. I hate that stupi-
Lizard: Yeah, well, meanwhile, Kozu'll reveal more secrets about her and Kaku to the others. Meanwhile, when a new demon appears and attacks the group, you'll get to see Kozu in action for the first time. Please review! YAY!
