Once Upon a Dream-Time
Disclaimer: I don't own Yu Yu Hakusho, and I don't know how original this storyline is so I'm not even going to say I own it just in case I don't. I do own my original character. That's all.
Amai: This fic is really, really strange. It's going to have a few crossover-like parts, some AU parts, and hopefully some songfic parts, seeing as this was inspired in part by Evanescence's "Haunted"- but keep in mind, only in part. Let us just say that this fic is... experimental. Yeah, that's a perfect word for it. Experimental.
PROLOGUE
She walked up the front steps to the house that was so familiar to her. It should be; it was her house, after all. She unlocked the door and opened it, walking into the darkened living room. That was as far as she got. The carpet in that living room used to be a pale blue. After that night it was brown with dried blood.
Hiei jolted awake, a cold sweat dotting his brow. He had spent many years as a thief and killed hundreds of people. The last human he'd killed was a young woman who had accidentally come into possession of a demon artifact through the small flea market she owned. Hiei had stolen the artifact and was just leaving when she walked in the front door. Hiei pulled out his katana and skewered her before he could even think. He had no choice. It was his job.
So why didn't any of the other murders get played out over and over in his dreams? He had never even gotten a look at the girl's face before it landed on the rug. Even in his dreams all he could see was a faceless mannequin with long, beautiful brown tresses. The only thing he could remember was how that hair flowed behind her as her body fell to the floor.
He didn't even know her name.
"Why is her name important?!" he growled, pounding his fist into his thigh.
He wiped the sweat away and tried to sleep. All he got was the same dream over and over again.

Amai: Okay, so it was REALLY short. That's why it's only the prologue, and that's why I'm posting it at the same time as the first chapter. SORRY! My current goal is to make my chapters longer. This is an exception.
