CHAPTER 1

"Shuichi! Where's my uniform!" Yelled Yuri, dressed in only a towel.

She had just come out of the shower and was trying to get ready for school. She is 16 years old and goes to the same school as Shuichi. Yuri has waist length, auburn hair, with enchanting hazel eyes. Currently, she is living with her boyfriend, Shuichi, and his mother, Shiori. In her former life she was a fox demon, but was reborn as a human.

"How am I supposed to know?" Replied Shuichi, walking into her room.

Shuichi is 16 as well, has fiery hair, and forest green eyes. He, however, in his former life was a spirit fox who merged with the embryo of a human shortly after he escaped a hunter. He was known as the Legendary Bandit Thief, Yoko Kurama.

Shiori comes in Yuri's room, carrying a blue girl's uniform. She smiled at the dressed Shuichi and the towel-clad Yuri, "You left your uniform on the couch."

Yuri ran and took the uniform. "Arigato gozaimasu, Shiori-san." She said gratefully.

Shiori left the room to get ready for work leaving Shuichi and Yuri there alone. Yuri looked at Shuichi, who apparently was oblivous to what she was thinking. "Umm Shuichi? I know you like seeing me in a towel, but I need to get dressed."

He smirked and left the room, "You owe me..." She laughed to herself as she closed the door and got ready.

About fifteen minutes later, Shuichi knocked on Yuri's door, "Are you done yet?"

The door opened and Yuri appeared, fully dressed. "Let's go!"

They left the apartment hand in hand and walked off to the bus stop. As soon as the left the apartment, she automatically switched to his demon name.

"So, Kurama... Have you talked to Yusuke or Hiei recently?"

Kurama paused for a moment before replying, "Yes. In fact I have... The other day, Hiei came to see how I was doing. Yusuke called as well. He wants to have a meeting at Genkai-sama's temple."

She smiled thinking of their friends. It had been a while since she had heard from any of them after the Dark Tournament. Team Uremeschi defeated Team Togoro in the final round.

They stoodat the busstop,talking about what classes they might have together. The bus came, they got on, and sat together. Kurama and Yuri sat there anddiscussed the Dark Tournament like they usually did. They arrived at school and got off the bus to walk to their home rooms. As soon asthey reached Kurama's class, he was surrounded by a group of fan-girls.

"Shuichi where have you been all summer?... I tried going to your house!.. Are you still going out with her?..."

Irritated, Kurama pushed his way through the mob of fan-girls with Yuri in tow. She was grinning all the while until he turned to look at her. "What is so amusing? Those baka ningen will be bothering me all year!" He told her in a louder voice than was normal for him.

She nodded to him, "Yes, Kurama. We'll just have to find a secret place during lunch. I think we need to go to our homerooms now." She started on her way to class, leaving Kurama there by himself.

" But..." He said weakly.

Yuri only continued walking and said over her shoulder, "See ya later!"

Kurama sighed and went to his home room.
