Urameshi Yusuke and Kuwabara Kazuma sat on the couch at their mansion that they shared with two others; Minamino Shuichi, otherwise known as Kurama, and Jaganshi Hiei.

Yusuke sat with his girlfriend, Yukimura Keiko, held close as they were watching a horror film. Kazuma, known to Kuwabara to his friends, was hiding behind the couch, peeking every once and a while at the TV screen. He screamed when the movie suddenly stopped and a little tune played.

'Breaking News' the screen read.

Yusuke tilted his head back and said to Kuwabara, "Kuwabara, don't be so scared, it's just a news bulletin." Yusuke shook his head as the orange-haired idiot boy's eyes hesitantly hovered over the top of the couch.

"We interrupt this program for breaking news. Good evening, I'm Otoda Kenji with a special report. We have just received news that a very well-respected citizen of Sarayashiki has died due to infection of a mysterious wound.

"Mrs. Tanizawa Sayaka-,"

"Tanizawa Sayaka? Yusuke, isn't that-?" Kuwabara started, but was hushed by Keiko.

"was on a walk with her daughter, Tanizawa Anei, at the park when they were attacked by a so-called 'monster' and Mrs. Tanizawa was fatally wounded. Apparently she was slashed by some sort of claws, protecting her daughter from them. Doctors say that the wound was infected by a immune-system killing virus. Another cause of her death was because of the blood loss.

"She battled through the infection with all of her strength, and finally lost bravely, not giving into the pain until her death. She-," The news anchor was interrupted by a technician placing a piece of paper on his desk. The technician waved goofily, and scampered off the screen as the anchor picked the paper up.

"This just in - Ms. Tanizawa Anei has run away from home after watching her mother die, ignoring the pleas of her father to stop."

A picture of a girl showed on the screen and Yusuke, Keiko, and Kuwabara gasped in unision as the recognized the girl.

"If you see or have any information about this girl, please contact our station's hotline. Her father is very worried, and if he can't have his wife, he at least needs his daughter."

"Yusuke! Isn't that your cousin?" Keiko asked fervently.

The boy just stared with widened eyes in shock at the picture still remaining on the screen. "Anei..." he whispered.

"Blinded by rage, that's what you are. In a hole, you're too deep, too far. No one's here to pull you out, you've got nobody there for you now. It's eating me up inside. Tearing me to pieces. It's my life, that's screwed up, you just had to come up, with this stupid plan, for breaking me again.

"I'm too late, it's over, you said we'd be together, always. You said you'd come back, and be there, but it's wrong to think that and I'm falling away. It's my life, that's screwed up, you just had to come up, with this stupid plan, for breaking me again. It's my life, that's screwed up, you just had to come up, with this stupid plan, for breaking me again.

"Oh, oh, oh. I was so close to you, as you were to me. We were one and two, two birds of a feather. I lay my head down to cry to sleep at night. All I can hear in the wind is your sigh. It's my life, that's screwed up, you just had to come up, with this stupid plan, for breaking me again. It's my life, that's screwed up, you just had to come up, with this stupid plan, for breaking me again. "You're memory, it hovers, just above my head. My face it is shattered, in that damn mirror. I'm slowly dreading each day, and dying seems suddenly so right. It's my life that's screwed up, you just had to come up, with this stupid plan, for breaking me again. For breaking me again. Breaking me aaagain..."

The voice died away and started to sob.

A short boy with gravity-defying black hair, a small, white starburst in the middle, and cold, crimson eyes was creeping around the junk; hearing the voice had startled him and he wandered over to the sound.
Jaganshi Hiei peered over the top of the pick-up truck and saw the most surprising thing. He wasn't expecting to finding himself face-to-face with a girl. And he certainly wasn't expecting that girl to pull back and punch him square on the nose. He tumbled backwards and landed in a heap, sporting a bloody nose.

He looked back and saw the girl was climbing over the truck, a duffel bag in her hand. The young girl was probably thirteen or so, she had a small purple vest on and a tight black long-sleeved shirt, showing her stomach, with black finger gloves. She sported a purple denim mini-skirt and black high socks that reached her knees. Her raven-colored hair was down and blowing in the sudden breeze. Her face was tear-stained. She stared at him a second with deep, hurt, violet eyes, and she ran into the depths of the junkyard. Hiei got to his feet, and stopped the bleeding the best he could, following after the girl. She was going to pay for her unprovoked attack.

After a few minutes of running, Hiei rounded a corner and saw another surprising scene. A tall, wolf demon with evil red eyes leered down at her.

"You think you can escape to the Ningenkai with you parents?" he asked her. He took a step forward, she took two back.

"Yeah, I think I can!" she quipped, glaring at the young wolf demon in front of her. The rudeness of the girl reminded him of someone.

"You cannot just leave our clan and runaway without telling why."
"Too late, I already did."

The demon grabbed her from around the back, and held her chin firmly in his hand. His hard eyes softened and a smile tugged at the corners of his mouth.

"You're cute when you're angry," he said, licking his lips.

"You know who I'm destined to be with, Urufu," she threatened.

"Well then, I'll just have to kill him, won't I? Besides, you don't love him anymore you do me. You were forced to. Doesn't mean you can't elope. He says he misses you dearly. Have gone with three years without seeing you, he says it's torture. I told him I was going to find you, and bring you back. Hm...maybe I should take you for myself...have you lose the thing females of our kind hold dear?" he explained, and suddenly kissed her. His hands combed through her hair as she stood in complete shock. Her own hands were trapped between each other's chests, and he put his arm around her back, pressing her even closer. His free hand caressed her cheek, her neck, her collar bone, and finally-

The girl wrenched away from the man now dubbed 'Urufu'. "You disgust me. I should kill you,"

"Go ahead, love. You wouldn't dare." She abruptly started to glow an eerie silver, that covered her for a few seconds.

She emerged from the light, in a white jacket that had a sleeve on the left side, but not the other. A black, turtle neck tank top that showed her stomach was under the jacket, and a large, silver ring was at the collar, held on by a purple button. She had on black tights with purple boots that stopped at the middle of her calves. A purple belt was the top of her white skirt/tunic. A large sword was sheathed and slung across her back, with a small dragon head and a purple orb atop the handle.

Her hair had changed too; it grew very short, and it turned a white, and purple on the ends of the bangs. The girl smirked as she pressed the heels of her hands together; a small, black orb of power formed in the middle.

"BIKOU SHIKYO!" she cried, and the black orb extended out to the boy. He screamed in pain as he was obliterated in a black and silver light.
