Disclaimers- I still don't own Yuyu Hakusho or Weib Kruez but I still wish I do.

Blood

Yukiko woke up extra early for that day. After Aya had told her what school was she was kind of excited. It had been a hundred years since her last "class" and then it was terrific. She clasped her hands and chanted. She ended up wearing a long sleeved fit blue shirt, Blue knee high skirt, white socks and soft black shoes. She had let her hair cascade and covered the markings and the streaks with spells.

She went down to the kitchen to find Aya drinking something from the cup and a plate with eggs, bacon and some white stuff that looked like cooked worms.

"Good Morning! Are we leaving yet?" Aya pointed to the food and said,

"Not yet you better eat your breakfast before it gets cold." Yukiko sweat dropped and looked at the white stuff.

"I'm not eating worms Aya kun. I'm not sure why you guys eat this stuff but no I'm not eating it."

Aya sighed and stood up, pushed Yukiko on the seat and sat beside her.

"It's not worms, it's called rice."

"Rice... Rice... Oh you mean those yellow things that are pounded and are called 'food of the god'?" Aya smiled and nodded.

"Oh okay." Yukiko started eating the stuff and even though she wasn't very used to the idea of eating she obliged just for the sake of the man beside her.

When they were about to go Aya handed her a folder and said,

"I wrote the things you would need to know. Familiarize those things and when you are with us, I am your uncle okay as for the others they are your cousins. Got that?"

Yukiko nodded and opened the folder. She scanned the files and nodded. "Okay got them all." She smiled got into the Porsche. Aya sighed again and went to the driver's seat and started the trip to the school.

Kurama had seen flowers everywhere. It had seemed that the flowers he saw are from the kitty in the house and they do not wither for a long time. He was really suspicious at the flowers he kept seeing around the campus that's why he went to the kitty in the house but finding it closed once again heightened his suspicions.

He was currently reading a book when a silver Porsche parked outside his school and a red haired guy came out. He recognized him as the guy who told him to come back tomorrow so he closed his book and looked at the guy who was accompanying a girl of about 16. He recognized her as the girl who sent Kuwabara's flowers in Yusuke's house. This is getting interesting.

He jumped down from the tree he was currently sitting on and followed the two to the principals office. He had felt nothing in the two of them. He had seen nothing strange about the two except the katana that was being carried by the man. He was delayed for a few minutes by the girls and the guys who wants him to join their clubs. By the time they came out he wasn't able to come near her with the people around him.

Aya was with Yukiko as they were being toured inside the school. They were passing through the soccer field when a student rushed towards them and tried to grab Yukiko. Aya was faster and pulled Yukiko out of the way he was about to pull out his sword when the student attacked the principal and three more students came out from no where and tried to grab Yukiko.

He pushed Yukiko behind him and pulled out his katana. But before he could slash the first student a red haired girl stepped in front and pushed them with the wind. "Run." She said and Aya pulled Yukiko away from the field.

Kurama saw Yukiko being pulled by the red head to safety but when he turned to fight the demons they were gone and the principal was unharmed. What the... He turned around and found that the demons were following the two. He sprinted towards them as he saw Hiei on top of the tree jump down towards him.

"Find the others and bring them here. We need to find the reason why demons suddenly are after a new student."

"You didn't feel the attraction then?"

"What are you talking about Hiei?"

"The girl. She's attracting the demons to her. She is emitting an aura more like our own but in a much greater scale. She's attracting the demons with her powers. Don't you think that's a little too strange." They were silent until Hiei brought up the thing about the mission.

"Don' t you think she might be the one we are looking for?"

"Impossible she doesn't look anything like her."

"Suit yourself Kurama I'll see you in a bit."

Hiei jumped in the other direction as Kurama followed the demons towards the girl. It can't be her. She would have remembered.

Yukiko was running her fastest but it had seemed that the demons were always just a few feet behind them. Then all of a sudden she felt the pain on her left chest. She tried to push it back as she tried to catch up on Aya. Her lungs were already protesting and her chest grew heavier and became more painful.

"Aya kun..." She was able to whisper as she slowly fell forward. Aya was just about to turn when Yukiko's form fell on the ground. The demons were almost upon her when a long thorny whip killed the nearest demon.

There was no time to get surprised at the thing that killed one of the demons. He tried to go beside Yukiko when another demon blocked his path. He slashed it with his katana and made his way to her. He turned Yukiko and saw that the markings on her face and the streaks were becoming visible. He gently shook her.

"Yukiko, Yukiko wake up." He looked up and saw that more demons were crowding around them. Aya was about to pick her up when a demon stepped forward and bowed.

"Fighting us will be futile. Hand over the girl and maybe we'll spare your pathetic lives." Kurama stood forward and took a fighting pose.

"I think not."

"Why are you so keen on getting this girl when you know full well you'll never get her?"

The demon turned to Aya and laughed. "What would a human like you do? You are nothing compared to what we will in our minds. What would you do to me human, cut me with your puny knife?"

Aya was about to attack when a blue ball came in contact with one of the demons and exploded. Aya covered Yukiko's head and when he looked up three more people were in front of them. Yusuke looked at Kurama and the guy behind him. He was quite sure that the guy behind him was human but the girl was some what of a mystery. He had no time to ponder on that thought or the fact that Kurama had asked for their help when he knew that Kurama was strong enough to finish all of the demons.

"What's going on? Keiko almost killed me when she saw me leave school with Kuwabara and Hiei." Hiei's right hand was starting to smoke with energy and Yukiko looked up with blank eyes. Aya saw her and passed his hand in front of her eyes. "Yukiko chan?"

Yukiko looked at Hiei and stood up. When he revealed the black dragon on his hand Yukiko seemed to be in a lot of pain and can't breath.

"Yukiko?"

Energy gathered around her and slowly her spirit energy increased. Yusuke and the others felt the intense power and looked behind them. They all saw the same thing, a girl with blank eyes, streaked white hair and markings on her face was some what emitting a white aura and are killing the demons one by one.

As the energy grew stronger the demon moved out of the way and the gang did the same. Upon looking back Kurama saw that Aya had not moved at all. I guess he didn't know how power she is. He went beside him and whispered,

"We have to move."

"No, I'll be all right."

"Come on she doesn't know what she's doing."

Aya glared at her and then realized that the person he thought was a girl was in fact a guy. He acknowledged this fact but then he looked at the girl in front of her. She won't hurt any of us.

"I'm really sorry about this."

He punched Aya and carried him to the others. In a matter of seconds it had seemed that everything was normal but then a white beam of light erupted upward into the sky that was visible to humans, demons and even in the spirit world and the world below.

Yusuke and the others were currently looking at the beam and was oblivious to the alarm that was ringing in his pocket by the time he pulled the thing Koenma gave him Aya and Yukiko was gone. He looked at the others and said, "We found the Cerenian." Hiei turned to Kurama who was looking across the field and jumped upward one of the nearest trees.

I will find you whatever happens.

Aya had carried Yukiko far from the place when the beam went off. Now he remembered. He was a guardian from the dark realm reincarnated in this world at the anticipation of her going there. He was, like the rest of the guardians sent to this world for the arrival of the princess that would determine the end or renewal of the world. He remembered the reason he had chosen the red head assassin, he was the nearest to his personality and it was much easier to develop the martial arts he needed.

He drove away from the school in hopes that the people who saw them would not be able to follow them. Yukiko was sleeping on the passenger seat like the princess she was. The markings and the streaks were back and yes he had remembered how lovely she was then and he had to admit she was still as lovely as before. If only he could have turned back time when he had to chose between his wife and his duty... He would have not chosen the first, it was the sole reason he had taken his duty much earnestly... His decision had ended her life and almost his own.

Aya had stopped at the beach where the sun was just beginning to set. The sky was filled with red hue, bleeding just like his heart. He had lost his wife in the same way. If only he had chosen differently he would not have regretted anything, and fallen from the grace of the fates. Yukiko was beginning to stir from her seat.

"Yukiko chan?"

"Aya? What happened?"

"The demon forced the power out of you. Now everyone both from the metaworld and the spirit world know you are here and where."

"So you have remembered now?"

"I'm glad I have. I need to find the others. We have anticipated your arrival here but we never dreamed that we would not have any recollection of it whatsoever. Do you know why this has happened?"

"This place is the place they called Exile. The guardians were not only sent here to protect me but also as a punishment. You remembered, they would as well in a few days."

"So you knew who we were when you came to us?"

Yukiko shook her head and looked straight to the sea. "Only when I saw the black dragon did I remember everything. Even how I got here."

Yukiko turned to Aya and tears were threatening to fall down. "Papa has gone mad... He made an agreement with the metaworld. He wants me to destroy the spirit world." Yukiko bowed and Aya had pulled her towards him.

"Papa would do anything to destroy the spirit world. He said that if I don't help him he will destroy Rai-rai's soul..."

Aya had hugged her and listened to her crying. He remembered Rai-rai, the Youko that she met in the spirit world. She had allowed him to go to the dark realm but before he could even go to Subete the king had him killed. The Youko was reincarnated in the real world and Yukiko had wanted to look for him. The king does have control over the Youko's soul and using it to threaten the princess was heartless.

"Yukiko remember what I told you a few days ago? I won't let anything happen and we will find Rai-rai... Whatever it takes."

"Thank you."

"Tell me something Yuko sama."

"What is it?"

"Do you have any illness?"

"Why do you ask?"

"When you fell it wasn't because of the demons, I know. We trained and protected for years so we should know. But there's nothing in this world that could cause you to faint."

"I'm not really sure but every time I seem to be near demons my heart fails on me. I don't know why."

Aya had nodded. She did not know why but Aya did. Rai-rai was never going to be in trouble. Yukiko was and there was too much at stake now. He now understand, the Youko was not in anyway in some sort of trouble from Subete… It was Yukiko whose soul was in danger or destruction.

The next day Yukiko was changing into her uniform when a dark colored bird pecked at her window. She ignored the bird and concentrated on putting the ribbon on her shirt. When she was finished she surveyed her looks in the mirror. She was currently wearing a maroon long sleeved shirt with white collar that looked like a sailor's. Her skirt was knee high also colored maroon, white socks and soft black shoes completed her uniform. The ribbon on her shirt was white and to top it all up she pulled a flower from her hair and placed it on the left collar. Satisfied she went down to the shop where the four guys were loading the flowers and some of the vases in the van.

"Good morning Yukiko chan." Omi greeted as he peeked out of the van. Yoji waved and Ken yawned openly.

"Aya kun's in the kitchen he said to go there when you are ready."

"Oi, chibi better finish the work before Aya gets mad." Yoji said as he gave Omi another armload of flowers.

In the kitchen Aya was wearing a bright orange sweater and beige pants. "Yukiko chan I found something to stop the demons from following you." He handed her a glass ball and the minute the ball touched her hand it seemed that her spirit was drained into it.

"Thanks I guess." Yukiko sat in the chair a little exhausted.

"The thing didn't take much just enough to be able to hide your other powers. And here." He handed her a pouch and when she opened it a few things came out.

"What are these?"

"Those are called cosmetics. I thought it better to use those things rather than always keeping the markings and the streaks behind spells demons can still see past spells at least this would look normal."

Yukiko smiled and tried some of the stuff. After putting on the foundation for her face Yoji and Ken came into the kitchen and looked at Aya.

"We're leaving early so that we'll be able to put up the stand earlier." He looked at Yukiko and smiled.

"Neko looks great seems like the skin tone is just right. See you later neko chan."

Yukiko looked at Aya with deep confusion. "Neko chan?"

"Little kitten."

By the time they arrived in school almost all the students were there talking about the event that happened yesterday. Aya and Yukiko saw the others being swarmed by girls as they set up the booth and stuff. When Yukiko came out of the car boys suddenly looked at her and the girls to Aya.

"What's going on?"

"Don't mind them. You better hurry to the principals office. If you need anything I'll be with the others in the booth."

Yukiko nodded and walked to the building with the boys following her.

"Oi, Aya don't you think it's better to go with her."

"Shut up and go back to work." He snapped at Yoji.

Kurama was currently thinking of the things what happened yesterday when the teacher came in and announced that they would be having a new student for the rest of the year. Kurama had ignored this until he saw the girl that entered the room. There was no doubt about it, she was the same girl he saw yesterday and the same girl he saw across town.

"Good morning I'm Yukiko Fujimiya. It's nice to meet you all." She bowed to them and looked at the teacher.

"Wonderful you can stay beside Shuuichi and if you need anything you can ask him about it."

Yukiko had a wonderful time in class and everything was terrific for her even the tests that seemed easy even for her. At lunch time she hurried to where the guys were and was surprised to see so many students around their booth. She pushed her way to them and when she was able to see the four guys she was surprised to see them all working.

"Oi, Neko chan what cha doing here?"

"Lunch break. Can I help?"

Yoji looked at Aya and when he nodded Yoji handed her a bunch of flowers. She arranged the flowers best as she could and wrapped them in plastic. "There finished."

"Ken kun there's no more white and red roses could you check in the van if there are more?" Omi had said as he came up from under some containers.

"I'll help you Ken ni san."

They walked towards the van and when Ken saw that there were no more roses he was about to turn back when Yukiko stopped him.

"But Yukiko chan there's no more roses."

"Don't worry I'll handle it. Just make sure no one is around."

Yukiko entered the van and closed the door in a few minutes she came out with the most extraordinary flower in her hands. Ken looked at it in fascination and then to Yukiko.

"What's that?"

"A rose. Well from where I am roses look like this." She handed him a flower that looked like a rose but it was white and red. It was beautiful but strange.

"There are more in the back come on we need to get back to them before Yoji thinks we are doing something else."

By the time Yukiko came back with the roses most of the students were gone. Aya, after finishing his arrangement looked at Yukiko. "You're going to be late go back to class." Yukiko nodded and trotted off to the building. When she came into the room and went to her chair she sweat dropped. There were about a dozen flowers and cards on her table. Her chair was also filled with flowers. Aya kun's not going to like this one bit.

"Looks like am not the only one being admired anymore."

Yukiko looked beside her and just like her table and chair Shuuichi's was also filled with flowers of different shapes and sizes. Yukiko sweat dropped even more. When school was over the four guys were waiting for her by the booth. She was carrying so much flowers that she couldn't see where she was going.

"Let me help you with that."

"Thank you."

When some of the flowers were removed from her hands she saw Shuuichi helping her. She had hidden a blush and looked at his table.

"Ah Shuuichi san where are the flowers you received?"

"I returned them to the persons that gave them to me. Usually that's whatthey want me to do."

"I see."

"Where are you going anyway?"

"To the flower booth my cousins would be waiting for me there."

Yukiko had walked to them with a small smile on her face.

"So that's where all our flowers went."

"I guess so Ken ni san."

"Who are you?" Aya had said to the guy that was following Yukiko.

"Shuuichi, Minamino. Fujimiya san's classmate."

"Aya ji san he helped me with the flowers since there was so many of them."

Aya had taken the flowers from Shuuichi's and walked to the van. "Yukiko come on let's go."

Yoji had taken the flowers from Yukiko and was also heading to the van.

"See you tomorrow Shuuichi san and thank you for helping me." She ran towards the others and entered the Porsche where Aya was.

"I see you got yourself admirers Yukiko chan."

"How I'd wish I didn't Yojikun..."

"That Shuuichi guy, he seems different."

"You can say that Ken kun. He got all the answers correct in our test."

"Will you guys just drive the van and let's go home?"

"Hai hai... Aya ji san."

"Not you Yukiko. You're coming with me."
