Hi, just wanted to tell you that this is my first real story on the web, please be gentle.

Chapter One

(Hiei)

Opening my eyes I stared at the sky above me my thoughts turning to the sister I had left behind on Ningenkai. I wish with all my heart to be able to tell her that I Hiei Jaganshi is her brother but that would only put her in danger. I am a rogue and a thief, if my enemies found out that she was my sister she would most likely be dead before I could blink. She is the only one I have left and I wouldn't put her in danger like that, even if lying to her causes her a little pain at least she would live. The only people who know Yukina is my sister are Yusuke, Kurama, Botan, and Koenma; I know that they could keep their mouths shut.

Here on Makai I try to forget them all but they are always invading my thoughts no matter what, maybe it was time to go back to tell Yukina my last lie and rid my conscious of guilt. That is if a person like me can feel guilt.

(Yukina)

Sitting next to Kuwabara I saw something out of the corner of my eye and turned quickly but nothing was there.

"Something wrong Yukina?" Kuwabara asked drawing my attention back to him.

"No, I just thought I saw something, just my imagination no doubt," I smiled but I couldn't shake the feeling that we were being watched.

"Aren't you excited about Christmas?" Keiko questioned.

"Oh yes, I've never celebrated Christmas before and it sounds like a lot of fun!" I exclaimed.

"I'll make sure it's the best Christmas you ever have," Kuwabara proclaimed.

"Really Kuwabara, and what cha gonna do, kiss her?" Yusuke demanded a smirk on his face. Blushing I glanced of into the forest and saw a pretty dove of the purest white perched on a nearby branch.

"Look at the dove Kazuma!" I pointed so he could see what I was looking at as I noticed that the branch above the bird had no snow on it like the other branches.

"Weird, what's a bird like that doing here in the middle of winter," he replied slinging his arm around my shoulders, smiling I snuggled closer letting myself relax.

"What time is it Keiko?" I asked

"Um, eleven," Keiko replied.

"Oh, no! I told Hikari I would meet her at the mall! I gotta go!" I cried jumping up.

(Reiko)

Sitting at the restaurant table I nervously glanced at my watch, they must have gotten her! I knew I should have never befriended her, if she died I would never be able to forgive myself. Too many people have died just because they knew me, I'd just have to stop seeing Yukina so they would think she meant nothing to me.

"Hikari!" Yukina called, looking up I saw her standing there, thank God she was ok. "I'm so sorry that I'm late but I was talking with Kazuma, Yusuke and Keiko, I completely lost track of time," she slipped into the chair across from me. "Hikari would you like to spend Christmas with me? Kuwabara, Yusuke, Botan, Genkai, Keiko, Kurama, Shizuru will be there; they really want to meet you. Please say yes." I desperately wanted to say yes and have a nice normal Christmas with Yukina and her friends but I couldn't put them in danger.

"Sorry, can't, I would love too but I'm traveling to my mother's and spending Christmas with her. I'm also going to be staying there until my sister has her baby in May," I lied smiling and shaking my head.

"Oh, do they know whether or not it's a girl or boy?" Yukina exclaimed filled with the bright enthusiasm of the innocent.

"They don't know but they want a little girl." I said shame washing down on me for lying so blatantly.

"Ok, well then would you like to help me shop?!" I felt someone watching us as I nodded my assent; instinctively I blocked them out with my Jagan eye hoping it wasn't them.

Walking home I was trying to decide where I was going to hide next and how to get a hold of my boss to tell him what I had found out. Though the fog of my thoughts I heard something behind me so I turned around to find nothing so I turned back around and walked right into a man.

"Oh sorry sir, I should have been watching where I was walking," I muttered.

"You're right, you should watch where you walk," a deep voice drawled. Snapping my head up I stared at the man, all my nightmares on the verge of coming true.

"No," I whispered.

"Oh, yes," he then blew a paralyzing powder into my face and I slumped to the ground the world spinning around me.


I know it's extremely short but I'm trying here, bear with me!!!!
