My father came home drunk again. And here I am waiting for him to finish beating. I think I should ask him to stop. Will it hurt if I try? It is better then just sitting around. "Daddy please stop." I barely whisper. He continues to beat me. I guess he didn't. I'll try again. "Daddy please stop." I say a little louder then last time. "What you say runt?!" I guess he heard me this time. "I said please stop"
I think he heard me this time because he stopped mid munch. Now he is grabbing me by the collar. And gettings in my face and says. "i will if you keep your promise." I nod my head yes.Then he drops me to the floor and says, "Sence I let you go early go make me my dinner." I nod and get up slowly as to not to alarm him. i walk into my kitchen and find a note adressed to me. I pick it up and find out it is from my brother. It read,
Dear Hope,
I'm sorry for leaveing you, but I need to find a way to get stronger.
So I can come back and save you.
Well try to stay out of trouble while I'm gone. Ok.
With Love Always,
Yoko
I let one single tear fall to the floor until I start my fathers dinner. I cooked him his favorite as so he will leave me alone for the rest of the night.Wait I hear him coming into the kitchen. I panic i shove my letter from my one and only brother in my pocket.And set his food on the table. And retreat to my room before he stops me."Hope! Get in here right now!" I turn around slowly and walk back.
I get into the kitchen and face my so called father. He pulls me up by my hair and ask me the same question as he did every night."Did you put anything in my food runt?" And i answer with the same answer. "No. I didn't." Then he throws me to the corner of the room and just eats. Where i sit and cry myself to sleep every night.

I still live with my so called father. But today I have this really bad feeling. You know the one that makes you feel like everything just pumbled you to the ground.Well what am I worrying about I feel that every day. Just like a routine. Well father should be home in about two more hours. Hey wait a minute the protection spells to the cave are being broken. Whats going on?
I run and hide in the back of my fathers cave. Who is that strange bat deoman? "Hello is anyone here?" I decided to come out of my hideing place. "Yes." i replied. I obulousely scared the man,because he had a sith under my throat. "Um...Sorry" Said the stranger. "Are you the owner of this cave." I nod my head no. And reply "No my father is."
He looks at me and raises an eyebrow. Then asked me a question about my brother Yoko. I then asked,"How do you know my brother?!" He answers, "I'm sorry but he was shoot by a hunter." I bow my head and slide to the floor. And sob in my hands silently but unconfortabley. He bends down and puts his hands around me. Then I ask who he is. He replies,"I was Yoko's best friend and partner."
"Oh. So you knew him better then anyone." "By the way what is your name." "My name? Oh its Kuroneo. Its a pleasure to meet you Hope." (sniff)"How did you know my name?" "Yoko would always talk about you.And when he was strong enough he would come back and save you." "But before he died he asked me to come here and save you from your father." But then I heared it my father was comeing home. "no" "Whats wrong Hope?" "My fathers home you have to hide."
So I shove him into my side of the cave. Just in time to. Because at that exact time my father walked in."Hello father." I say.And then he gives me a sharp glare and jumps me. He is trying to get my cloths off. But before he got a inch further. Kuroneo jumped out of his hidding place and killed my so called father.I just sit there crying again while Kuroneo tries to comfort me.
He said,"Lets go now. We should go th Neigeria and start a new life." I nod my head yes and he helps me stand. Then we start are long journey to Neigeria.

Kurama was walking back home from school today with his friends. Yuuske Uramishi and Kazuma Kuwabara. As usual Yuuske and Kuwabara where fighting the whole way back from school. As Kurama was thinking of the note he left his sister so long ago. And wondering if she is still alive. With a sigh he contiuned walking. Unbenocited to him Yuuske and Kuwabara stop fighting and were now staring at him. Yuuske decided to speak up first."Hey Kurama you ok?" "Ya fox-boy you've been acting weird lately." Kurama who now just relised they where talking to them replied."I'm sorry. What where you two saying?" Yuuske puts a hand on Kurama's shoulder and says "We were wondering if you were ok." "Yes i'm fine Yuuske." "I highly dought that Kurama." replied Kuwabara.
"So come on spill whats going on?"
Kurama sighs a answer. "Well today is the day i left." "What are you talkin about?" "Ya what are you talkin about?" "Thats right no one knows." Kurama bows his head and stops walkin. Soon after Yuuske and Kuwabara stop to. Yuuske got really worrid now. "Come on Kurama you can tell us." "Ok I'll tell you guys" Kurama took a deep brealth before explainging.
10 minutes later Kurama finished telling about his sister and how he had left her to get stronger and save her. Yuuske and Kuwabara's jaws where dropped once he finished his story. Yuuske put his arm around Kurama's shoulder. Which coused him to jump." Hey don't worry we will help you find her." "Thanks Yuuske and you to Kuwabara." At the same time Yuuske and Kuwabara say,"You bet." Which caused all three boys to laugh.
"Whats so funny boys?" Came a rather cheerful voice. "Oh nothing Botan." Replied Kurama. "Whats Koenma want now Botan?" "Oh right. Well we have to wait for Hiei to arrive before I tell you." "I'm already here." Said a rather cold voice. Which caused Botan to jump. "Ok now. Well there are three deomans here posing as humans. "Oh. So its the ordinary thing." Replied Yuuske smartly. "Well these three are 'S' class deomans." Everybodies jaws dropped. Yes even Hiei's. "How in hell did three 'S' class deomans get past the barrier?!?!" "We don't know yet Yuuske!" "But for know just look around for any trases of youki." "Ok. We will Botan." Replied Kurama cooly. "Hn." Hiei replied planely. "Is that all you say shrimp?" "I'm not in the mood for your stuiped jokes." "Ok.That was weird. Anyway I shall leave you guys to your mission then." Botan hops on her oar. "Well see you later guys and good luck." She waved good bye. -I hope they stay safe.-
"So lets get a head start on this mission." Said Yuuske. "Hn" "All right." "YA!" "You shouldn't be very exited baka." "What ya say shrimp." "Can you two please stop fighting long enough for us to find and capture these demons?" "Only if shrimp over there agrees Kurama." "Well Hiei?" "Hn." "Thats not a answer shrimp." "Don't worry about it to much Kuwabara he won't." "Ya. So listen up and lets get these deomans." Then Yuuske punches the air. "Lets go." They all nod thier
heads.
"So we will split up into two groups." Kurama said."Hiei and I will go downtown, and Yuuske you and Kuwabara will go uptown." "Right" "Meet us back here in three hours." They all nod there heads yes.
