Chapter 1

Mystery Girl

Yusuke slammed open the door, causing a toddler to fall off his throne-like chair. The toddler was actually in charge of the demon and human worlds. His name was Koenma.

"What is it now, Koenma? I was watching a horror movie with Keiko and you had to get me dragged here!" Yusuke demanded, slamming his fist on a nearby table.

"Well, Yusuke, we were called because there is a new sense of powerful spirit energy coming from a parallel universe, and we are needed to see if it is dangerous or not," Kurama said. Kurama and Hiei had been waiting for Yusuke and Kuwabara to show up, and had already received the lecture.

Kuwabara chose this moment to waltz in, showing off.... His new hair color?!

"Hey guys, what's up? Like my new hair-do?" everyone sweat dropped, and Hiei muttered just loud enough for Kurama to hear.

"Looks like someone dumped tar on his head!"

"Hey, your hair is the same color, small fry!" Kuwabara yelled.

"Repeat that again," Hiei growled.

"Are you deaf? I SAID that you are a sma-" Kumara and Yusuke each held their buddies back.

"Kuwabara, Hiei is right, don't beat him up cause he's right! Besides, he'll kick your butt!" Yusuke crowed.

"Hiei, calm down, save your energy for someone worth beating up," Kumara whispered, so quietly that only Hiei could hear. Kuwabara slicked his hair back, and walked off to a corner. Hiei growled and walked to a corner opposite Kuwabara.

"Come on, you guys, lets find the power source," Yusuke said.

" Yusuke's right, for a change. I have prepared a portal to the parallel universe. It's through that door," Koenma chuckled, pointing to a fancy green door. The group went to the door, and right as Kumara opened it, Yukina walked in, followed by Boton. Boton tripped over her own feet and fell into Yukina. They both slid into the gang and all of them crashed through the portal. All sight faded into darkness.

The group crash landed in a thick forest. There was green as far as the eye could see.

"I think we need to find food," Yukina mumbled, "and a place to sleep for the night." She pointed to the horizon, where the burning sun was more than halfway gone.



In a town a few miles away.... The young girl gingerly took two small, fast steps, then stopped, looking from side to side. She took three more steps, then went into a full-out sprint towards the bronze gate. As she neared the gate, she almost let out a sigh of relief. She wouldn't, though, until she passed it and safely into the forest beyond. Just as she reached the gate, she involuntarily shuddered and felt feverish. As she touched the gate to climb over, she nearly threw up. She resisted the urge, though, and forced herself to focus on the forest beyond, her freedom from the village. She leapt from the gate and sprinted, almost flew towards her haven.

In the village behind her, she heard voices and knew that they were hunting for her. She also heard the distinct barks of bloodhound, chasing her trail. She ran faster still, and plunged into the forest. The dogs reached the edge of it, and screeched to a halt, backing away with their tails tucked between their legs. The man that was following the bloodhounds with a bow and a quiver of arrows looked back at the village gate and called to the villagers,

" She's gone and went into that dang forest, and I ain't goin' in thar!"
