Chapter 1
Unexpected Meeting
Okay, I should have said this before but, I don't own Yu Yu Hakusho, unfortunately. This is actually the first chapter, since the first was the prelude, so here goes!
Yoshimi walked down the sidewalk, happy that it was summer. The bright summer sun shone down on her as she made her way to the apartment where she lived with her grandparents. She had lived there ever since her mother died, when she was seven. That was ten years ago. She was seventeen now, but the memory still hurt.
Yoshimi fiddled with her necklace, remembering her mother. The necklace was in the shape of a heart, with a sapphire in the middle. It had been her mother's, and she had given it to her before she died. "I trust you with this, my daughter" were her words as she gave her the amulet. Yoshimi knew that the locket had been very important to her mother, so she always protected it and hardly ever took it off.
When she arrived at her grandparent's apartment, she unlocked the door and stepped inside. It was like most apartments in Japan, small, but big enough for their small family. Yoshimi went into the kitchen to fix herself a snack. She was always hungry when she returned from the movie store where she worked during the summer. It didn't pay much, but it offered something to do until school started back.
Yoshimi looked into the fridge and sighed. She would have to do some more shopping soon, as there wasn't much left in the fridge. Her grandmother was a little forgetful sometimes. She sighed again, closed the fridge, and went into her room to wait for her grandparents to come home from work. They ran a small gift shop in town. She sometimes helped when she wasn't busy with school or her job.
Yoshimi decided to take a walk. She left a note to her grandparents telling them what she was doing and that she would be back soon, and left the house. Yoshimi headed toward the park. She always liked it there. It was so calm and peaceful. Before she knew it, she was heading into a section of the park that she had never seen before. It was very quiet and shadowy, and the trees whispered, as if they held secrets. Yoshimi looked around, disturbed by her surroundings. She immediately, ducked into the bushes as she heard footsteps approaching.
"Please, Hiei. All you need to do is use your Jagan eye to find her then you can go back to Spirit World."
"Hn. You mean Koenma didn't tell you where she is?"
The first voice sighed. "No, I believe he must have forgotten," it said, all the while coming closer to Yoshimi's hiding place.
"Hn. Alright, I'll help you, but—"The second voice paused in mid- sentence. He seemed to be searching for something. Yoshimi froze, hoping they hadn't found her. Suddenly, someone was holding her by her hair, holding a katina to her throat.
"Why were you spying?" said the voice Yoshimi recognized as the second speaker. Its owner was shorter than she was, by several inches, and had gravity defying black hair with a white highlight.
"Hiei! Let her go!" said the first voice, which belonged to a guy with red hair and green eyes. (an: Ah Kurama! ::drool::)
"Hn," said Hiei, dropping her. Yoshimi got quickly to hear feet, more than a little freaked out.
"I apologize for him. He isn't used to being in public..." said the red-head, trailing off as his eyes fell on her amulet. Yoshimi tucked it hastily out of sight.
"Well, if that's all, I'll be going," she said, starting of the way she came.
"Wait!" said the red-head. "Where did you get that necklace?"
"It was my mothers," she blurted out, before she could think.
"I see," he said. "In that case, I need you to come with me."
"What? No!" she yelled, starting to run away, but before she could, there was a knock to the back of her head and she was out cold.
