Chapter 3

Disclaimer: I only own Kage, Ketaro, and Naratu

Acknowledgments:

None this time because I put this one up so quickly after the other one that no one had time to review on the previous chapter.

AN: Ok, the true story now begins

Read This

Ketaro is dead, he died in a fierce fight with Naratu's father.

Naratu's father is dead, killed by Kage if you don't know, that is the name of the character in this story

Naratu is a hanyou, who appears to be around fifteen years old but who is in reality, seventy years old. Demons age differently than humans. He is like a little brother to Kage though she barely ever sees him.

It was feeding time. I hadn't had blood for exactly two months, and lately I have been feeding off humans. Not very tasty, I might add. This morning, I had stepped into the Reikai. I had finally learned how to use the portal key. I went the outskirts of the nearest town and waited for my victim. It wasn't long until four beings passed me. Two were demons and two were humans. This was rather strange. There were barely any humans in the Reikai. One of the demons turned and looked directly at me and then stopped. Something about him seemed vaguely familiar, though, I could figure out what. The others also turned to look in my direction. And then I saw him, a ningen that looked exactly the way my father did as a young boy. I had seen pictures of him. I shook my head.

I stood up and drew my katana. It was terrible that I didn't have any demonic powers within me but I would be fine, I mean. I can't die. I stopped in front of them and inspected each one of them. The first one was pointing his finger at me. I smiled. This was something different. He was the one that looked like my father; except that he had his hair gelled. His eyes were the same as my father's along with the rest of him. This was all too strange. He was wearing an ugly green jumpsuit that didn't suit him at all. He would look so much better in a pair of jeans and a white T-shirt. Next to him was another ningen, and a damn ugly one. He was looking at me strangely, as if he couldn't make up his mind about something. His hair was like that of the American legend, Elvis. It did not look right.

Now there were the two youkai. One was definitely a bishonen. His red hair was blowing in the wind and made him look very feminine. Stick him in a dress and he could have been my sister. Then next to him was a very angry demon. He too, had a look on his face that made me think that he couldn't make up his mind about something. But he was still glaring. A smile found its way to my lips. Foolish mortals.

The ningen who looked like my father was about to say something but I didn't listen because I chose this moment to lunge at the demons. It was a stupid decision on my part because I couldn't pick one to go after so my attempt was in vein because I missed both of them. I landed on the ground with a thud and before I knew it, the mysterious red eyed demon was on top of me and held his katana to my throat. I snarled at him and then used one of the techniques I was taught by Ketaro to get out of his grip. I jumped back a couple of meters so that I could reevaluate them all.

I picked up on the ki of the red eyed demon. Strong, very strong. Class A demon. I knew that I should have done this before, but out of my idiocy I didn't take the time. Next, I caught the ki of the bishonen. He, too, was also very strong. I didn't even care about the ningens. Demons always had the upper hand. They were all looking at me, expecting me to attack again. I charged forward and was just about to swing my katana, when a portal appeared in front of me. I caught one last glimpse of the Reikai and saw a pink haired girl holding an oar. Botan. I tumbled forward into a large room. I got up quickly and saw a couple of ogres leaving the room. Before me, was a desk stacked with papers, and behind all those papers, was a toddler. Koenma. I knew that this was bound to happen sometime, because of all my illegal killings. I heard the shuffling of feet behind me.

"Watch it, crab face," said one.

"You know that I could beat you up easily Urameshii," said another.

At the name, my head swiveled back before my body, and something snapped. This caught the attention of them all and they looked at me with gawking expressions, except of the crimson eyed demon who was only studying me closely. I took my neck in my hands, and righted it.

"Which one of you is Urameshii?" I asked.

Heads turned to the ningen who looked like my father. This was more than just a coincidence. There was a loud ahem from behind me, so when everyone looked back there, I turned around also.

"Welcome, Kage. I hope that you enjoyed your life because from now on…it is going to be miserable," said the baby. "We spent years looking for you, but now we have you and it wasn't even a hard task, thanks to Botan."

"Is my jail sentence going to be for life?" I asked.

"Who said anything about jail? I want you on Team Urameshii," he said.

So…my father's look alike is the leader of the team. But, he wants me on it? So my punishment for murder is basically getting a license to kill. This was amusing, but how was it going to be miserable.

"You never said anything about her joining the team! We don't know anything about her!" said my father's look alike.

"Oh…you are mistaken Yusuke. I want everyone to leave, except for Kage and Yusuke," he said but when no one moved he screamed, "NOW!"

After everyone left the room Koenma's anger lessened somewhat.

"Ok, Yusuke Urameshii, meet Kage Karasu Urameshii, and vice versa. Kage, you are Yusuke's great aunt," said Koenma

Yusuke looked at me and then he started laughing. I kept my face emotionless.

"Yusuke, this is not funny and from the amusement I can see on your face, Kage, I can tell that you don't believe it either. I have a story to tell you. Many years ago, Kage, you disappeared from this world. You went to a place where time was taken away from all who entered, it has different effects on people and for you it gave immortality, ever lasting life. Well, you were gone for a year, and your parents thought that you ran away because of something they did. They were going to tell you that they were going to have a baby but you were nowhere to be found. They suspected that you had found out and was jealous. Nine months went by, and they gave birth to a baby boy. Still, you weren't there. They were truly depressed, so they killed themselves. The baby was found about an hour after the gunshots was heard and was taken to an orphanage. Well, you came back and somehow became a vampire. That is one part about you that I don't know. Not long after that, you went to the Reikai and became a student of Ketaro, one of the master demons in the Reikai. You then left him after twenty years of training, and moved on to killing demons in order to protect the innocent. It is not a bad thing, which you did, but you still killed demons without permission. Another thing is, that you chose to never drink the blood of the demons you killed. You had to get blood from a live demon, you stole their blood, but you didn't kill them. Then there is another thing, you stole a portal from my vault. I have to punish you, but I will do the lesser. You will be part of Team Urameshii, during that time, you are to get me my portal key back, fight in the Dark Tournament, and join in on the missions I present for the boys."

That was a lot of information but I was grateful that he let me off easy. So, now I had a nephew, sort of, who looked about two years younger than me. That was interesting. Yusuke was staring at me and I glared at him.

"Don't worry, you don't have to refer to me as Aunt, you can just call me Kage," I said with a smile which he cautiously returned. I guess that he had seen my fangs.

"Yusuke, I want you to take Kage to Hiei's house, she will stay with him for the time being until I get another house ready for her. You can explain as much as you want to the others, your choice, but I think that they heard most of the conversation already. Oh, and Kage. You are not to get blood from any on the team without their permission. I will have a blood supply for you because I know what happens when you don't get your blood. Now go, I have things to do."

Yusuke and I left the office and found the others waiting outside.

"My name is Kurama, hajmemashite," said the bishonen.

I gave him a pained plastered on smile. I didn't want these people to think that I would ever like them.

"Ok. Well, as you know, I am Yusuke. The guy with the crappy hair is Kuwabara, and the shrimp is Hiei. You will be staying with him."

"Aho, I am shorter than him if you haven't noticed," I said in a venomous voice, making effort to show my teeth a little.

"Sorry," he said nervously.

"She is not staying with me," said the crimson eyed demon which I now knew as Hiei.

"Then you will have to take it up with Koenma. He said that it won't be long, that he will get her a place of her own so you don't have to worry about it."

"hn"

Vocabulary:

Bishonen: pretty boy

Hajmemashite: nice to meet you

Aho: worse than baka, which means 'idiot'
