Wow. I finished this chapter and the last one in the same night. o.O;;
Weird. I was also trying to write a report at the same time, and I got this
done first. Hehe. Well, this one's called "History." Btw, I had some
questions on this. People wanted to know why most of the story was about
Hiei and Kurama, and the others only come up once. Look at it this way, do
you really wanna know what happened each time Kuwabara got beaten up by
Yuusuke, or how many F's Yuusuke got in school? See. Now. Read.

Kurama stared at the girl that was standing in the doorway. She had black hair with red tips, elfish ears, mixed red and silver eyes, and she was wearing a white blouse and a black skirt with knee high black boots. She widened her eyes a bit at Kurama, looking at him up and down.
"How did you get in here?"
Kurama turned slightly, and motioned toward the door, but it was not there anymore. He turned back to her. "The door."
The girl shook her head a bit. "It's hexed. Only demons can enter it, and they can't leave until I let them."
Kurama's heart stopped. The way she said, "Until I let them" made him think that he was going to be there for a while.
"Who are you?"
"My name's-"
"How'd you get in here? You're a human."
Kurama blinked. "I sent a letter here with the money in it. My name's Kurama."
The girl's eyes widened again. "Y. Youko?"
Kurama nodded slowly. The woman looked around nervously, then spoke.
"I'm Coral. Coral Raven. Well. It's nice to see you again, Youko. the spirit fox."
Kurama tilted his head. 'Again.?' he thought to himself.
Coral motioned toward the door in front of her, and they entered the room. It was dark, but there was a faint glow from a huge crystal sitting on a circular table with a cloth under it.
Coral sat down and stared at him for a bit, then leaned forward and softly touched his hair. Kurama watched her.
"You sure have changed over the years, Youko. Your hair. it was so long and beautiful. and now."
"How do you know me.?"
Coral looked up at him, and sat down again. "You mean. you don't remember me, Youko?"
"Please. Call me Kurama."
Coral ignored him. "C'mon Youko, think. Are you sure you don't know me?"
Kurama blinked, then thought for a second. "No."
Coral laughed softly. "Not surprising. I guess I didn't make much of an impression on you. Youko Kurama." She looked around, then leaned forward. "Think back to that raid you and your friend made on the Udagumi Kingdom."
Kurama's eyes widened and he stared at her, horror struck.
"P-Princess Kutakani.?"

Gloria and Hiei were walking back to the camp, dripping with mud, when suddenly, Hiei turned a corner and a girl slammed into him. He got knocked to the ground, and he took out his katana. Gloria pushed the katana away.
"Hiei, its just Jami."
Hiei looked at the girl. She had long black hair, and green eyes, and she was wearing a long black dress. She was very beautiful, and looked around 12 years old. Fangs overlapped her lips, showing that she was a vampiress. Jami helped Hiei up, and then said quickly, "You guys are late! Shane is mad! He yelled at me to go find you!"
Hiei glanced at Gloria and noticed the look on her face that just screamed "I told you so!" but she said nothing.
Jami looked around nervously. "Ooh! C'mon guys! Shane said we got a big raid goin' on, and we need your help!"
"What?! But we just spent over two hours trying to get all this money for him!" Hiei held up the bag filled with coins.
"Shane wouldn't send Jami to get us if it wasn't something they could handle, Hiei. Use some common sense!" Gloria snapped and followed Jami as they ran toward the woods.
Hiei blinked, then sprinted after them, muttering, "This better be good, Shane."

"After that raid on the Kingdom, I thought I had nothing left, thanks to you." Coral paced around the room, giving an accusing glance toward Kurama.
"But. why did you come to the Ningenkai.?"
"Simple. The survivors of that attack shunned me. So I had to start a new life. I decided to hide out here, and changed my name from Kutakani Udagumi to Coral Raven. What's your story, Youko?"
Kurama looked down. "I was shot by a hunter on one of my escapades. My spirit travelled to the Ningenkai, where I rested in the fetus of a pregnant woman. I became that woman's son, and the name I have taken in my human form is Shuuichi Minamono. My father died shortly after I was born."
"Hm." Coral stopped pacing. "So you're a human now?"
"Hai. That's right."
"Well then, I guess it would be so easy to kill you right now for what you did to my kingdom. but there's a law saying that I can't, unfortunately."
Kurama breathed a sigh of relief. "Arigatou. Thank you."
"Tch. Don't make it seem like a big deal."
"I have a feeling that I wasn't just brought here to learn about our pasts."
Coral reached into her pocket, and took out a bag of coins. "No. I have a favor to ask of you, now that I've spared your life. I shall also give you a small fee."
"I knew there was a catch. what's the favor?"
"All you need to do is find me the Glass Of Fate."
"You mean the one I stole? How did you know that I had lost it.?"
Coral smirked. "I'm psychic, Youko, I know everything. You may have to travel a bit to find it though. you did lose it in the Ningenkai right?"
"Yes. And even if it was in the demon world, I would not have the strength to get there."
"Right. Just do me this favor, Youko. You owe me."

An orange-haired boy wearing blue jeans and a white shirt was walking down the street, playing with a yo-yo. He was humming to himself. Suddenly, he got a chilly feeling.
"Eek! I hate that feeling, it's like there's ghosts or demons around!" He shivered.
He continued on his way, walking straight by a red haired boy, who was eyeing Kazuma Kuwabara closely. Kuwabara stopped. He turned around quickly, and the boy was gone. But in his place was a rose seed, slowly blooming. Kuwabara picked it up, and it turned into a full, thorny rose. He dropped it with a screech, and it wilted. Kuwabara looked around.
"I think I'm losing my mind!" he said and turned, continuing on his way.
