Prologue: A hazy introduction.

Raiel is a ghost. He rather likes being a ghost. In fact, he has been a ghost for so long, he cannot remember what it meant to be human. He follows people around to see where they go and what they do. Being a ghost, he often becomes bored and decides to increase his knowledge of whatever random thing pops into his mind at the moment. This is how he got into the sticky situation he is in right now.

"OOF!" Raiel spins into the barrier at a high velocity. As he struggles to get up, he is launched into the air by the demon, landing on Yusuke. "Damn. I knew my random thoughts would get me into trouble one day." He thought as he struggled to stand up. "How did I get into this situation?"

Flash back

Raiel is floating in the sky looking at the clouds. "Man, am I bored. Everyone I see, I have either already spied on or already spooked. What's a ghost to do?" He thinks for a moment. "I've got it! I am going to learn about demon hunting! But where to find a school that teaches it?" Puzzled about that little fact, he floats over the city.

"Hey Shiri!" At the unfamiliar voice, he starts out of his thoughts and looks below to find the source. He sees a schoolgirl running up to a person clad entirely in black. "You going hunting today?"

"Yes, I am, Umi," the dark clad woman he now knows as Shiri answers, "We got a call. And from the sound of it, It's huge!"

Raiel's ethereal eyebrow lifts in curiosity. He flies down to their level and follows slightly behind them.

"Exactly how big does this demon sound?"

Raiel floats closer while doing a victory dance. 'YATTA! I can't believe my luck!'

"From what they told me, this is a class...B...," Shiri stops.

"What's wrong?" Umi asks, confusedly looking around.

Shiri spins and points at Raiel. "You! Why are you following us?"

Raiel stops and stares. "You can see me?"

Umi looks in the direction Shiri is pointing. "Someone's following us? Where? Did they duck into an alley?"

Shiri looks at her. "You mean you can't see him? He's right there!" she points at Raiel again.

Confused, Raiel starts walking towards her. "Look, I'm just a bored ghost who doesn't want to hurt you. All I want to do is learn about Demon hunting."

Shiri jumps back and pulls out a talisman. "Move one more step, ghost, and I will seal you into this talisman." 'Ghost?' she thinks 'I must going nuts!'

Umi walks over Shiri and waves her hand in front of her face. "Hello, earth to Shiri, there's no one there."

Still keeping one eye on Raiel, Shiri pulls Umi closer and whispers in her ear, "Look, you're going to think I'm crazy, but there's a ghost right there in full samurai garb with Silver hair and Red eyes... As a matter of fact, he's quite sexy."

Umi pulls away. "Ooooookay, I think you're crazy, but I still believe you because you happen to be a demon slayer. Otherwise I would just run away screaming."

Raiel is now dealing with the fact that one of those two can see him. "Look, all I want to do is stick around and learn about hunting demons. Could I just follow you and take mental notes?"

"Fine, you can come," Shiri sighs, "But don't interfere under any circumstances, got that?"

Raiel grins. "Right. Now that I have been deemed non-dangerous, could you put away the talisman?"

Shiri looks at her hand, where she's still holding the talisman and puts it away. "Heh heh. Oops."
