Chapter 1: Prolouge

The sound of crunching grass under swift feet could barely be heard in the Dark Forest. (SY: Well aren't I the original one. Hiei: No. SY: Sarcasm, Hiei. Hiei: Right. SY: Sigh Onwards!) The two kitsunes who happened to be the owners of those feet were busy running from their pursuers. (SY: Big word. /gets hit with flying objects/ ) The first was female, about 6 feet, with silver hair that ended in black tips and black-flecked golden eyes. She seemed to be holding onto a package of some sort. The other was a male, around 7 feet with silver hair and cold, golden eyes. (SY: Geez, wonder who that is? Yusuke: It's Yoko. Duh. SY: SILENCE, MIINION!) He was attacking some of the guards that were after their rightfully stolen prize. After hearing the screams of his victims, he silently, but quickly caught up with her.

"Do you have it?" he questioned.

"You mean the Amulet of Wind? (Don't own! My friend, Caraina does, so help me!) Right here." she replied, showing him a blood red amulet with something gray swirling inside of it.

"Well done, Silver." he said. The newly named Silver smirked.

"You weren't so bad yourself, Yoko. Duck." An arrow flew above his head. Then they kept on running. No thanks or nothing. Not like she was expecting it. We are talking about the Yoko Kurama here. Anyways, they ran for awhile longer before they ran into an invisible barrier of some sort. Literally.

"What the fuck?!"

"Tsk, Silver, such language."

"Oh, urusei, kitsune." Yoko did something unusual then. He chuckled. (SY: That sucked. Kurama: But it's true. Sy: glomps him YOU BELIEVE IN MY WRITING SKILLS!!! Awww, thankies, Kura-kun!! Kurama: Silver...can't...breathe! SY: still glomping On with the fic! Kurama: ) He never chuckles. He got up and then offered a hand to help her up. She angrily slapped it away and picked herself up.

"Thanks, but I'm not that weak." she spat.

"Ouch, that stung. I'm deeply hurt." he sarcastically retorted.

"Yea, right. You're treating me as if I were one of those baka ningens!" Before he could come up with a retort, some of the guards not-so-silently showed up.

"Well, well, well, what do we have here?" one mocked.

"Why, it looks like the 'King of Thieves' and his wench." the other smirked. Silver clenched her fists and bared her fangs. No one, no one, called her a wench and got away with it. They were going to pay severely. She was ready to pounce on them and beat them to a pile of bleeding trash but was stopped by a hand on her shoulder. Yoko's hand. She looked at him and he looked back with a 'don't-even-think-about-it' look. So she backed down. She knew he wanted to fight them. The selfish bastard wouldn't even let her in on the fun! She turned to watch. He had started. Intrigued at his fighting patterns, she watched his quiet intensity. Her ears twitched. Something was wrong. She turned and saw a third guard, one that was firing an arrow at the currently fighting fox. But he didn't notice. Oh, crap! He's gonna die if he doesn't move! she thought. Yoko had noticed something, though. He noticed the guards he was fighting had stopped all attacks. So he killed them. But they laughed, and he couldn't figure out why? Then he saw it. The accursed arrow in flight, headed straight for him. The arrow that was too close to dodge. The arrow, that looked like it was going to kill him. What happened next was a blur. A body got in front of him. And the arrow shot it instead of him. But before it was shot, it released a plant, a death tree to be precise, that killed the guard. Then the body slumped to the ground but was caught by Yoko's strong arms. He brushed away the soft silver locks covering its face. There before his eyes was Silver. She had willingly given her life for his. But why? He had never done anything for her. So why would she want to help him?

"Yoko..." He snapped out his daze at the sound of her voice. It was softer than usual, with no snide remarks that usually cam along with it.

"Silver....Why? That arrow was meant for me. Why did you..." She put a finger to his lips and smirked.

"Just shut up for once, fox." she chuckled before she continued. "I can't really explain why. I just couldn't let you die. If I could stop it."

"It's all right Silver. Here, I can take you back to the clan and they can heal you. Or better yet, I could heal you myself right here. And then..." she stopped him once again.

"No, Yoko. It's time for me to go. Everyone has a point in there life where their time comes to leave this world. My time is now. But before I go..." she winced. Then she continued in a voice barely audible. "Find someone....someone who will love you....I mean, really, really love you....even if you are a demon and a thief. Someone who could love you.....More....then I....ever could." And with that, her body glowed a faint purple, and then she went limp. Yoko hadn't heard the last part. He just sat there, cradling her in his arms. But unaware to him, the death tree missed the guard who was back on his feet and had shot another arrow. This one hit Yoko. Soon, his body also glowed a faint golden color and he too went limp. The two kitsunes were indeed dead, and had dried tears running down their faces. The guard was killed because the death tree was still there and it ate him. Yea.

Kurama: sniff That was mean.

SilverYouko: Don't worry it gets better later on.

Everyone: HAPPY NEW YEAR'S MINNA-SAN!!!!!!

SilverYouko: Now Kura-kun, do the honors.

Kurama: Please R&R!!!
