Disclaimer: I don't own YYH. Poor me! *cries* Kurama: *holds her and pats her back* There now. Its all right. We all have to do what you saw whether or not you own us because your an authoress. Kilala: Thankies Kurama-kun.

Hiei stood infront of Yusuke, Kurama, Kuwabara, Boton, Genkai, and KoEnma. "The door had magic on it, a high level of it too. That's why I think we have a Yo-Ko on our hands." Hiei finished but didn't stop pacing, he'd sensed hi apparition* magic near there, he didn't want to admit it but the thought of another hi apparition in the city unnerved him. "Well." Kurama started. "We should start watching the news. Yo-Ko are known for the fact that they can't resist stealing something magical or heavily guarded." He finished. They all nodded.

Mia sat down on her bed sighing. "Just great, I'm out of food again." She sobbed into her pillow, the fact of going hungry never really bothered her, but the fact that this year her vegetables were gone too left her with no choice, she'd have to start stealing more food. Hakana padded gently into Mia's room. "The foxes are restless and so is the kitsune I see." She stated with a smirk and gently sat down next to Mia. Mia lifted her head up, her eyes were puffy and red, you could see the tear streaks on her cheeks, she was holding back her tears but her voice still shook. "Stop calling me kitsune, I'm not a fox." She sniffed out and laid her head back down. Hakana hated to see her friend like this, so against her better judgment she stood up, faced Mia, and started juggling balls of black fire. Mia stared at her, then started giggling as Hakana pretended to almost drop one. "Thanks," Mia sniffled. "Thanks a lot." "Well, I couldn't let you suffer, Hakana said with a grin, the fire balls disappeared and she walked out. "All will be better in the morning Mia." Hakana said as she blew out the candles and closed the door.

~~~~~~~~~~~~ Next morning ~~~~~~~~~~~

Kurama woke up yawning. He shook the sheet off of himself and changed into his school uniform, he walked into the kitchen and ate breakfast, he could afford to just be on time today, he walked into the living room and turned on the t.v, the first thing that caught his eye was the news. LARGE SHIPMENT OF MEAT AND VEGGIES STOLEN FROM LOCAL FOOD STORE. 'So the Yo-Ko needs food instead of items?' He thought to himself, but the anchor went on. "In other news," He started. "The local museum has been robbed of its priceless golden pendant of the goddess of the sun, we just got the news but it appears to have been robbed of this necklace two days ago, the museum has just now noticed during its daily cleaning that the gold was peeling off, it appears to be a fake from the museum gift shop." Kurama raised his eyebrow. "Unlike a Yo-Ko but I can't ignore it anyhow." Kurama told himself as he slipped on his shoes and ran out the door.

Mia ran down the street. "Gotta get to school, gotta get to school." She chanted. Her fingers reached up and grabbed her gold necklace, she fingered the pendant. She lowered her hand from the necklace and grabbed the street lamp on the corner, her feet flew of the ground and she rounded the corner. Her eyes scanned today's traffic, no such luck as yesterday, traffic jam. She was so deep in though she didn't even notice the person five feet in front of her, or when..

BAM! Something collided with Kurama causing him to topple over side ways, it was lucky for Kurama that traffic was slow or he could have lost his head, he stood up and dusted himself off, then looked down to see Mia sprawled on the sidewalk rubbing her head, he reached out, grabbed her hand and pulled her up. Mia then noticed Kurama, her cheeks reddened and he could have laughed. "Uh.sorry.Shuichi..thanks for.uh..helping me up." She bowed her head slightly and ran past him into the school grounds. He was about to take a step forward when he noticed something sparkling, he bent down and picked up a gold necklace with a pendant on it. 'It must be Mia's.' He thought, but then did a double take. 'It can be, but it is, the golden pendant of the sun goddess, it can't be Mia's.' And the Kurama pocketed the precious and priceless artifact.

~~~~~~~~~ That afternoon ~~~~~~~~~

Mia walked into her garden that afternoon after work, the first thing she noticed was the fact that their was no sound of breaking grass, no yipping or barking or the sound of kits play fighting, the second thing was the presence she felt, a chill ran down her spine, the hairs on the back of neck stood on end, her ears pricked up and a tingling sensation filled her. She was one with the garden around her in an instant, her senses stretched throughout the garden feeling for the disturbance, and even though her mind and intuition told her something was wrong, her senses told her that anything in the garden belonged there. Her ears caught the sound of breaking grass and she turned just in time to dodge a figure in black who had launched him or herself at her, Mia had just barely dodged the katana. Her instincts told her to go to the rose bushes, so Mia back flipped over the other flowers, through the tall, fragrant grass, to the roses, she plucked a rose and concentrated her rei energy on it, the flower grew and hardened, the stem lengthened and hardened, the thorns disappeared into a razor sharp edge. She had just formed the Rose Katana. **

Hiei and Kurama were waiting in ambush on opposite sides of the walk way in the garden they suspected the Yo-Ko to be living in. The same girl from the other morning walked in, her body went rigid and her rei energy swelled up as though she were waiting. Hiei couldn't stand the tension any longer, he gripped his katana and leapt to attack, amazingly the girl dodges, then did about twenty-two back flips which landed her on the other side of the tall grass, Hiei went in for the attack, never suspecting the supposed 'fragile' girl to be lying in wait like a tiger in the grass.

Mia swung the rose katana at whatever had landed in front of her, catching the enemy off guard, she could now see it was a boy, about five feet, maybe shorter or taller it was hard to tell with him crouching, his hair was tall. Nevertheless, Mia swung her blade again, and he dodged this attack, her blade made no contact so swung around and knocked some roses off a bush, Mia saw her chance, she grabbed the roses and hoped her hard training would have prepared her enough for this. He swung at her and charged, his attack only hit the front of her rose katana, not good. She jumped up twisting in the air and landed her foot in his face, it pushed him back just enough for her to get in her best attack. She pulled the blade up to her shoulder. "ROSE KATANA, THORN SLASH!" She yelled as she swung her blade an inch away from his chest, the blade released its formerly hidden thorns and they collided into his chest, he was totally off guard. Her attack hit, she took the moment to run away from him, she'd be ready when he was conscious again.

Kurama was sitting there staring, the girl had dodged Hiei's attack! He couldn't make out her features from his position, she back flipped over the grass and Hiei followed a few seconds after, he heard the clanging of blades, then, to his amazement and confusion, Kurama heard, "ROSE KATANA, THORN SLASH!" The voice was female and he instantly rushed over to Hiei, any idiot knew the thorns of that attack had powerful paralyzing liquid on the tips. "Hiei? Can you hear me?" Kurama asked looking at his best friend anxiously, Hiei nodded slightly, Kurama pulled a seed out of his hair and put it in Hiei's mouth, Hiei was gone before you could say, brush your teeth after every meal.

Mia gripped a rose and concentrated, sending her rei energy through it, the petals erupted around her and covered her for a brief instant before transforming themselves into a form of armor, her hair was secure in a helmet of sorts, in samurai style, with thorns sticking up out of the sides, she had on a chest plating which more or less looked like rose petals that had been arranged in a fish scale pattern, thorns hung down from this almost like a skirt and thorns hit under ever scale, she was ready. She called this armor. Rose Armor. (A.N. Must I explain further?)

Hiei jumped to where he was her land only to be met by the annoying blade again, only this time the controller of it had on armor, it didn't look all that strong, but he knew that for some reason anyone who used roses in their attacks became surprisingly strong for using such a weak plant. The girl, though it was now hard to tell if you didn't notice the fact that the breast plate was raised, seemed slightly surprised, but she swung her blade again and he jumped over it. He swung his katana at the girl catching her in the side, but he was only met with the sound of metal on metal, not the usual gasp of pain. The girl turned the blade in her hand and went into a defensive position. 'Damnit. This is going to be harder than it looks.' Hiei thought as he just now noticed the thorns under the rose petals, he swung he katana every which way but all he heard was metal on metal. She grinned. How dare she mock him!? His anger grew as he saw her turn the blade back into a rose and tuck it under her samurai style helmet. "ROSE ARMOR THORN THROW!"*** She suddenly yelled and every thorn on her armor launched itself and embedded itself in his skin, he felt a burning. "Don't come back here if you know what's good for you." She said right before Hiei blacked out.
