Ok sorry for the long wait and thank you to all my reviewers especially those I asked to read my story! It really means a lot to me *sniff*. On with the story. Story Notes:  Kari's past and how she meet Galidor & what the hells up w/Hiei? Also italicized words are thoughts. I still need ideas for guardians and would greatly appreciate it if someone would help. Forward troops, into the battle we march! I do not own Yu Yu Hakaso! Now if I was as rich as Bill Gates I could and would own it plus Inuyasha, Zoids, Yu Yu Hakaso, DBZ, and Yu-Gi-Oh. And my own private island in the Caribbean!  Ha ha ha ah ha! On with the story.

The Four Gate Guardians

Chapter Three: The Past Revealed & What the hell's up with Hiei

As Kari and Kurama were walking down the street Kari asked, "Kurama can I ask you something?" "Only if I can ask you one." Alright, "Why did Yuske call you fox?" Kurama laughed silently to himself, "Because I am a fox demon." 'plain and simple but will she believe  me? True I am a fox demon but can she tell who I am truly?'  "Now earlier when I said it must be true I was referring to your beast guardian being the unicorn." A sadness came into her voice just as the look came into her eyes at the sight of the comforter, "I am not sure. You see the unicorn is the rarest of the mythical creatures, only being born from eggs in a different dimension, every 500 years. They travel over one million miles to get this dimension to ensure its safety. So naturally it is the guardian of the leader."  "But how did he find you in the first place?" "When I was four my house was attacked by snake demons. I remember my mother shoving me into a closet and telling me not to make a sound."

*%*FLASHBACK*%*

"Hush Kari we are going to play a game, the person who can stay hidden from the snakes wins ok? Don't make a sound if they find you then you lose." The young girl shook her heads yes. Her mother shut the door and Kari didn't move. As she sat in the closet she tried to keep her mind on what she was going to wear to her first day of school tomorrow. Maybe I should wear that blue skirt and the white blouse mother got me at Old Navy. But even that could not drown out the screams of her mother and father dying.  *I've got to be quite. I've got to be quite.* The closet door creaked open and a snake demon peered inside, "Well look what we got here boys." He grabbed Kari by the neck and tossed her outside against a tree. She cried out in pain and scrunched her knees up to her chin. 'I hope you all die every last one of you!' A bright flash lit up the area surrounding the building, but Kari ignored it. When she looked up she saw all the snake demons lying on the ground dead. She closed her eyes trying to make them disappear but they didn't. A few minuets later she felt something soft nuzzling her arm. She looked up to her amazement stared into the crystal clear eyes of a unicorn. He motioned for her to climb on his back and she did so the then unicorn cantered of into the sunset Kari on his back.

*%*FLASHBACK*%*

"From that day forward Galidor was my friend, my family, and my teacher." Kurama turned and looked at the girl beside him and saw that she had been crying. He reached over and touched her shoulder in a reassuring. Automatically her hands went to her eyes and she wiped away the tears on her check. "You didn't want to leave did you?" "No I didn't." "Then why did you?" "It is my duty and my fate to do so." "I don't believe in fate." With that Kurama opened the door and they walked in side.

Later as Kari lay in bed after the best meal in her life she began to wonder about how she was going to find the other guardians. One thing was for sure she was never going to find out if all she did was wonder. Since she was restless she decided to go out for a walk. She quickly put on a pair of blue jeans, a gray tank top, and jumped out the window. Even though she was on the second story she landed on the ground without making a sound. She crept swiftly and silently toward the woods behind the house. (ITURUPTION: I know it is supposed to be a apartment sort of house but I put it near the woods for a good reason *hint* Hiei) As she walked through the small forest she inhaled the smell. 'It smelled so good! It was a lot better than that stuffy old house' After living out side for five of the twelve years she had lived with Galidor she was felling claustrophobic indoors. As she walked beneath the tall pine trees she failed to notice the boy above her.

Hiei was sitting in his favorite tree in the woods outside Kurama's house. He had to abandon his other one six months agosince construction worked were going to cut it down to build a new subdivision for those "those rich snotty people" and Hiei called them. A twig snapped below him causing him to snap back to reality. He looked down only to see that girl bellow him. 'what's she doing her?'  he wondered. He watched as the girl walked under the tree he was in and stopped. Hiei froze. The last thing he need was for that girl to go running back to Kurama telling him where he was. He let out the breath he was holding when she plopped down on the ground. She let out a sigh as if in happiness. Hiei felt a little nervous around this human girl she had a strange aurora around her that was neither human nor demon. He stared down at her and tried to imagine how strong she was. She had to be very powerful since the gate guardians were only born once every five million years. She had doubts about her beast guardian but Hiei knew, oh how he knew.

~!~FLASHBACK~!~

'God this is boring!' Hiei thought silently to himself as he listened to Kari talking. 'I am out of here. I'll follow Kurama and her home the fox is bound to interrogate her.' How right he was.

~!~END FLASHBACK~!~

the unicorn was her beast guardian he was positive of that. She was to beautiful and mysterious for it not to be. He wondered what it would be like to take her in his arms and… 'What the crap am I thinking!?! The only person I even slightly car about is Yukina!' For some odd reason the tug at his heart told him differently.

Kari felt better already. now that she could think she remembered what Galidor has told her about the guardians.

~!~FLASHBACK~!~

"How will I find the others?" "You must trust in your heart all of the guardians have a emotional connection between one another."

~!~END FLASHBACK~!~

Right now her heart was telling her to go to Hiei, that he was one. She closed her eyes tried to find him with her mind.

So you like? You didn't like? Please tell. Now you know why they were near the woods.

Hiei: WHAT THE HELL HAVE YOU DONE!!!

Karson: umm make you a little more what's the word…

Kari: sensual?

Karson: I guess that will work.

Kari: *does a little happy dance* Score for me! *stick tongue at Hiei*

Hiei: *mumbles something about evil bakas and crazy women*

Kari:*really hyper* well read and review so long!
