Chapter 3

The Dream

Youma was a more of a night person. She liked taking walks around the city at night, when the lights were the prettiest.

Tonight she was walking by Demon's Door cave, the cave where there was a portal to Makai. She always liked coming here, she could never figure out why. It just made her feel calm, even though there was a chance demons could just pop out of the cave without warning.

There was usually no one around this cave, the legends usually kept people away. But tonight there was someone there, the person was a girl. Youma could sense some demonic power coming from the girl. But it felt different from any demon that Youma had ever faced, and then she realized, this girl was half-demon.

Youma rushed over to help the girl. Upon closer look she could tell the girl wasn't injured physically, but mentally.

But Youma's house was to far to carry this girl by herself, she had to call her brother, Kurama.

*~*Mayumi's Dream*~*

There was a dark room; the only light was from a small fireplace, illuminating a large armchair. Someone was sitting in it. And someone was standing next to it, kneeling to whoever is in the chair.

"What do you mean she escaped!!" A voice shouted from the armchair.

"It's true Master Hiroyasu, that girl Mayumi escaped during the flood." Reported a guard, Mayumi recognized her, it was Akane.

"Well, why didn't you stop her!!! Aren't you the one guarding her corridor?"

"I already told you, she knocked me out. I couldn't stop her." (I told you Hiroyasu was stupid)

Then there was a new voice that spoke, one that Mayumi did not recognize. "Master Hiroyasu."

"What is it?" Hiroyasu said impatiently.

"We know where the girl is, one of our undercover demons saw her go into the Pseudo Space, she escaped to the human world. And one of our demons in the human world reported she was found by a friend of the Spirit Detective." The new voice reported.

"Good work Hiroshi."

"Shall I send a guard to bring her back?" Said the man Mayumi supposed was Hiroshi.

There was a pause.

"No, let her think she escaped, we will lure her back eventually, with the Spirit Detective. And I will kill the Spirit Detective and take the girl's power. You are excused Akane, Hiroshi."

"Yes sir." Akane and Hiroshi bowed and left the room.

Hiroyasu looked into the fire and the flames light made his face glow evilly. "Soon, that girls power will be mine." He started laughing hysterically. Louder and louder.

"Hey, hey, are you OK?" Someone was shaking Mayumi.

She slowly opened her eyes. Someone was looking down at her. A girl with long black hair and blue eyes.

"Are you OK?" The girl repeated.

"..........Yeah, I'm fine." Mayumi replied weakly.

"Are you sure, you were tossing and turning in your sleep. Did you have a nightmare?"

"Uh, sort of, but I can't remember it right now." (Man I hate dreams like that, especially when you know it was good)

It was only now that Mayumi realized that there was a cool, wet cloth on her forehead. And that she was in a bedroom; it was fashioned in a lot of blue things, like sheet's and stuff

"Well, now that you're awake, let's get the introduction out of the way, my name is Youma." The girl called Youma said smiling.

Mayumi smiled back. And sat up, with a little help from Youma. "My name is Mayumi."

The door to the bedroom opened, and a boy about 15 years old walked in. He had long red hair and emerald green eyes. (Guess who)

"Oh, I see she's awake." He said.

A doorbell rang from downstairs.

"I'll get it." Youma stood up and turned to the boy and Mayumi. "You two stay here and introduce yourselves." She walked quickly out of the room.

Mayumi looked at the boy, "There is something different about this boy. More demonic, like that girl, Youma." She thought.

Well, my name is Kurama, what's yours?" The boy asked kindly.

"Mayumi."

"Pleased to meet you Mayumi." Kurama said holding out his hand.

Mayumi smiled and shook his hand.

When they let go Youma walked in the room.

"Kurama, Yusuke and Kuwabara are downstairs, is there something you forgot to tell me?" Youma said leaning against the frame of the door, smiling evilly.

"Yeah, they called, and I told them about Mayumi and they said they wanted to come over and meet her. And I was going to tell you but I noticed Mayumi woke up" Kurama said smiling innocently.

"Then how did they get here so fast?"

"Because mother called after that."

Youma blinked a couple times. "Makes sense to me." She said smiling (Like this ^_^).

"Well, shall we go introduce you?" Kurama said to Mayumi.

"Sure."

Downstairs, Yusuke and Kuwabara were arguing over God knows what. Even when the three walked in, Yusuke and Kuwabara never noticed them; they were two busy arguing with each other.

"She'll like me better Urameshi!! I have good looks and a shiny sword!!" (Yeah right)

"You idiot!! No one would like you!! Ask Shizuru, she'll tell you!" (What a pointless argument)

And with things like that is what they argued over. Until Youma had to walk up between the two and shout, "STOP ARGUING!!!"

The two boys looked at her like she was insane.

"Right, now that I have your attention, I would like to introduce Mayumi." Youma said pointing Mayumi out.

"Hi, the name's Yusuke Urameshi, and this idiot next to me is Kuwabara."

"HEY!!"

"Hay is for horses now shut up." Yusuke said.

Mayumi laughed.

Kuwabara would normally make a comeback right now but instead he was looking at Mayumi like he just met her. (As in before he met her about two minutes ago)

"HEY!! YOU'RE HALF-DEMON!! KINDA LIKE URAMESHI!!" Kuwabara shouted pointing his finger dramatically at Mayumi.

Yusuke hit him hard over the head. "Idiot!! You don't go telling people that!!"

Mayumi blushed. "Actually...I am."

"Really?"

"Yeah, she is." Youma said.

Mayumi looked at Youma with disbelief.

"How could you tell?"

"Kurama, Yusuke and I are demons too; well actually, Yusuke is part demon. Kuwabara is the only one in this room who is human. Anyway, we could sense you are half-demon." Youma said.

"Youma found you by Demon's Door cave, obviously you came from Makai. Why did you come to the Human world?" Kurama asked.

"Well...."

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Mari: Well that took forever and a half. And I'm not going to explain her past in the next chapter because you people already know it. Well I have a question, I was wondering, should I make this a romance fic? With Mayumi liking Kurama, Hiei or Yusuke? I don't know, but I never tried romance before so if you readers want a romance story, I'm sorry if it might suck. So tell me OK?
