'''''''''''''' Prolouge '''''''''''''''

(1)Jens Uyuki, a boy of 14, was walking along the streets of Kyoto. He had curious black eyes and messy brown hair. He was slouching as he walked, for he was nervous. There was warning that a war was going to begin soon.

His father, Koji, had fought in a war once before, and he had nearly died. If he had to go away to another war it would probably kill him.

Now, Jens was a clever boy. He had learned to use pieces of metal to unlock doors--he also had taught himself Martial Arts at a young age.

Koji had another son as well. His name was Shinta. (No, not from Ruroni Kenshin.)

Shinta who was 18, had brown hair like his younger brother, but his eyes were green.

Shinta appeared to like spending his time with his nose in a book rather then teaching himself Martial Arts or picking locks. He loved books on astroligy so he could predict weather and find constilations.

He was made fun of at school, but Jens on the other hand, was his school's legend. Jens would always tell tales on how his father was a great war hero and would make jokes about his poor older brother.

The one thing they all had in common was that they liked hunting.

Their mother, you ask? Well, she had passed away after Jens was born.

Jens grumbled and looked down at the rock he was kicking.

"Jens! Jens!" He recognized Shinta's voice. Sure enough, Shinta caught up to him. His eyes were nervous and scared. "It's..." he took a deep breath. "It's dad. The war was issued out and he left already!"

Jens' eyes widened in shock. "What?!"

Shinta nodded. "It's true. The armor is gone and the letter was out on the stoop." He held a piece of parchment in front of his face.

"Koji Uyuki,

Under the laws of Kyoto, a war has been sent out.

We expect to see you here in a matter of three days.

Kyoto Council,"

Jens re-read the paper over and over, his eyes growing larger with each passing second. "But... but if dad... if he... oh, Kami-sama(2)..."

Shinta glanced up at Jens from the oh-so-interesting spot in the dirt. "We're..." he swallowed the lump that was growing in the back of his throat. "We're expected to remain in the dojo(3) until he returns."

Jens turned to face his brother. "What if he doesn't return, Shinta?"

Shinta stared at the ground again, silent.

Jens took in a deep breath and exhaled, trying to calm himself. "C'mon. We should get going."

The 18-year-old nodded and the two made their way to the dojo.

(3 years later)

Jens sat in the dojo, reading one of Shinta's old books. Since his father had died at war, he had read more and more.

His tired eyes glanced over at the cascate where Shinta lay.

His older brother had also died from fighting the past year.

Jens felt the lump in his throat return. The worst part about his brother's death was that he had seen it.

'''''' Flashback '''''''

Shinta and Jens were walking to their home when they heard whispering from behind them. "That's them. The two that Koenma told us about."

Jens looked over his shoulder to see a boy with black hair and dark brown eyes. There was another boy with him. He had ginger-colored hair and beady black eyes.

"Hey, you two! Stop!"

The brothers turned to face their followers.

The black-haired boy approached them. "We need you to come with us," he said smoothly.

Shinta narrowed his eyes. "Why should we?" he asked.

The ginger-haired one piped up. "Listen, we don't want any trouble. We just need you to come with us."

Shinta unsheathed a blade and Jens' eyes widened. "Shinta!" he gaped. Shinta turned to face his brother. "I've been carrying it ever since dad left for war." he stated, glancing back at the boys who were waiting.

He turned to face them. "We're not coming with you. Hell, we don't even know who you are."

"The name's Yusuke Urameshi and the moron next to me is Kuwabara." The black-haried boy said.

Kuwabara turned to him. "Oi! I'm not a moron, Urameshi!"

Yusuke ignored that comment and eyed the blade that Shinta was holding. "Easy, pal. I don't want to hurt you. I just need you to follow me and Kuwabara so you can meet Koenma." he said calmly.

Shinta's eyes narrowed further. "I don't think so." He glanced at Jens. "Run to the dojo and get help." he whispered.

Jens nodded and started in the other direction as Shinta charged at Yusuke.

Hearing Yusuke cry out in pain, Jens froze and turned to see the scene unfold before him.

Shinta had struck him on the shoulder. Yusuke grabbed his shoulder in pain, blood seeping through his fingers. "Damn... damn you..." he said through clenched teeth.

Kuwabara ran after Shinta, pulling out a... glowing sword?

Jens blinked and stared at the orange katana(4).

Suddenly, Kuwabara ran up to strike Shinta. "You bastard!"

Shinta's screams were more devistating then anything Jens had ever heard. He felt his hands shaking as he looked at his brother who had been stabbed in the chest.

Blood dribbled freely out of Shinta's mouth and his eyes dazed over.

Jens raced over to his fallen brother.

Kuwabara stood there, his sword dark red to the hilt. His eyes were getting bigger and bigger. "I... I killed him..."

"Kuwabara!" Yusuke cried.

Kuwabara's face paled. "I... I didn't mean to!" he called.

Jens put his hands on his brother's chest, trying to find a heartbeat.

He never found one.

'''' End Flashback ''''

Jens sighed and made a fist. "I'll kill them." he growled to himself. "I'll kill Yusuke Urameshi and Kuwabara."
