The four elements combined can create a force powerful enough to destroy the three worlds. The four elements reside in four different demons that are worthy to carry that power. Hiei has the power of Fire. Kurama has the power of Earth. And Youma has the power of Water. But who has Wind? Who is after all four of them?

Mari: HI! I'm back with another story. Hope you like.

Chapter 1

The Four Elements

The school bell for Meiou High School had just rang signaling the end of the school day. A lot of students, male and female, were coming out the door. In the sea of red and lavender (or whatever color the boys uniform is), Kurama, or also known as Shuichi, was among them. When he got away from the crowd he saw his sister, Youma, also called Saiyachi when they are among humans. She was sitting on a bench, reading a book. And she never noticed her brother come up next to her.

"What are you reading Saiyachi?" Kurama asked his younger sister. Youma looked up from the book she was reading. "It's called "Asian Myths and Legends" Youma answered. She stood up and started to walk home with her brother. "You sure got out early today." Kurama said. "Yeah, my band teacher let us out early today." Youma answered. (Saiyachi plays the flute, I personally play the clarinet. I don't know if that will ever matter but it might one day ^_^) "So, I see you were lucky enough to get away from school without getting followed by that Fan Club of yours." Youma teased. "Yes, I'm very lucky." Kurama said smiling. The rest of the way home they were just talking about random things, mostly plans to get away from Kurama's fan club. But even though they are high-class demons, they were unaware of the evil presence watching them.

When they got home, Youma went straight to the couch and started reading that "Asian Myths and Legends" book again. "Youma, what is so interesting, about that book? You've been reading it all day." Kurama asked. Shiori is not home so they can call each other their real names. Youma looked at him, "Well there is this story about us." She said pointing to what she was reading. Curious, Kurama sat down next to her and looked at the book. If you started where Youma was pointing, which was more than halfway through the story itself, it said, "Youko Kurama and Mizu Youma. Possibly the greatest of all demon thieves. They were shot and killed by a bounty hunter one day; but there have been signs that they are alive. So are they alive, or dead?" Youma laughed. "Shows how much they know about us. After the Dark Tournament you think they would have heard that we are still alive by now." She said still giggling. "Well, shows how much they really pay attention to these things." Kurama said chuckling.

~*~*~*~Later~*~*~*~

It was a little late, after dinner at most. And Youma was back at the couch, reading the same book with greater interest then before. "What did you find now?" Kurama asked. "Look at this." Youma said handing him the book. "Kurama held it up so he can read it. On the top of the page it said, "The Four Element Cards"

"The Four Element Cards were created by an unparalleled Magician whose name is still unknown. They each controlled one element. Earth, Fire, Wind, and Water. If the four cards were combined, it would create a force powerful enough to destroy all of the Spirit World, Human World, and the Demon World. This proved to be a great threat, so the magician took the cards and sent the cards power to reside in four demons. Four demons that are worthy enough to posses such power. The cards were now just an empty shell, but if the powers return to the card the threat will show itself again. So the magician took the cards and sealed them away. Never to be found or to be tampered ever again."

Kurama closed the book and looked at his sister. "I didn't know you take interest in this kind of thing." Kurama said pointing to the book when he said "this". Well what can I say, you learn a new thing every day." Youma said sarcastically. "Kurama laughed, "True." He said.

~*~*~*~Later~*~*~*~

Shiori poked her head into Youma's room. "Saiyachi, you should get to bed now." She said gently. "OK mother." Youma answered putting her book down. Shiori closed the door. Youma looked out her window. "There is something about that element story, I can't get it out of my mind. I wonder what is truly behind that story." Youma said. Trying to forget about it, Youma quickly gets ready for bed and goes to sleep.

What the author of that Myths and Legends didn't know is that the cards were real things, and they are kept in Spirit World Vault. But a dark shadow that is watching Kurama and Youma, ~did~ know where the cards were sealed.

Mari: OK, this is a little of a crossover with Cardcaptor Sakura. Does anyone want to send in his or her character for the demon that possesses wind? If you do tell me your character in a review. I need looks and personality. Remember, it's suppost to be a wind demon. (Like Jin) Anywho, just review.
