I do not own yyh or its characters, wish I did, but, I don't.

Slight romance b/w kurama and OC and possibly b/w hiei and OC in later chapters. Oh yeah, this takes place about 6 months after the dark tournament (since I didn't see the rest of the series after this point it may be out of whack with what's going on at that time but...oh well! enjoy

==Chapter 1==

A long time ago, before humans roamed nigenkai, it was ruled and maintained by a group of demons known as the dragon keepers. There were seven clans, each stationed on a continent in this world. These demons, hybrids between different dragon clans and other demons had the ability to summon and control the spirits of ancient powerful dragons and use their power for their own. Each clan of dragons represents some elemental power or some special skill in which the keepers used to maintain order and beauty in the world. However, over the years, the appearance of the race of man caused complications in the maintenance of nigenkai. The humans began to whittle away at the precious resources of nigenkai, taking in excess instead of only what was needed to survive. Soon the humans began to come into the territory of the keepers and their dragons and caught glimpses of them; and man, being the way man is, tried to destroy what they feared and could not understand. Battles commenced between the two species, Epic battles which have been retold throughout history, which nowadays are thought of as fairy tales or myths and legends. But, these beliefs that these battles were myths only came about because after a certain point in time, the dragons and their keepers disappeared from nigenkai. No evidence was ever found of dragons roaming the earth. This was because of a ruling made by the spirit world. Because the demons had taken human life, the keepers as well as the dragons were banished from nigenkai. This banishment angered the keepers, but, at the time they were powerless to rise up against spirit world. So, they waited, waited in the depths of the demon world until they could rise up and reclaim the world that was rightfully theirs...

"Okay class, so tell me what did you think of William Kendrick's Myth of the Dragon Keepers: the Eternal Struggle?" Jun Pei, a foreign exchange teacher from china glanced around her World Literature class for signs of any participation. Instead all she found was a dozen google eyed lovesick boys and a dozen disgusted, jealous girls.

Ever since she came from china to teach at this school all of the young male students have had huge crushes on her and wouldn't leave her along. Jun Pei assumed it was because she was the only female teacher here as well as the only teacher who was under 30 years old (she's 25 btw). She sighed remorsefully, and tossed her shoulder length, wavy, sky blue hair behind her shoulder.

'Well I suppose things could be worse,' she thought to herself. Just then, she spotted a dozing yusuke urameshi in the back corner of the class. 'Yusuke', he was the only one who didn't follow her around or admire her like a lovesick puppy. And besides his constant sleeping episodes during her lectures, she had to admit that she favored him to the others. He was a truly genuine guy and she admired him for that.

Keiko, Yusuke's better half, noticed their teacher staring at Yusuke and kicked him behind his leg in order to wake him up.

"Mr. Urameshi," Jun said calm but firmly.

"Hey what's the big idea keik...hey...um" Yusuke stopped abruptly when he noticed that he was the center of the classes' attention. "What are you freaks lookin' at? If ya got something to say then say it!" All the student's eyes immediately shifted back to the front. Even though they were no longer at Saryaski junior high, yusuke still held the title of the biggest bad ass punk around. 'Bad move Yusuke,' thought Keiko.

"Mr. Urameshi," restated Jun, "what do you think of William Kendrick's legend?"

"Well to tell ya the truth teach dragons and demons and things just ain't my style y'know, but, nice try anyway." He said in his usual cocky/ sarcastic way. Keiko stared at Yusuke. 'Surely he was jesting did he not, just six months ago, enjoy beating the crap out of some of the worst demons in spirit world at the dark tournament?' (1.)

Jun Pei stared at Yusuke for a while, and then smiled secretly at him, "Hmmm," she said as if sizing him up, "well... I guess we all have our own opinions about what we like and dislike." Everyone in the class stared surprisingly at their teacher's response to Yusuke's behavior. Yusuke just smiled his famous cocky grin at her.

To everyone's astonishment at Takada High, Jun took a strange liking to Yusuke Urameshi since the beginning of her term; much to the dislike of the faculty.

=Bells announcing the end of the final period=

The children left the classroom and everyone else left the school grounds except for Jun Pei who stayed to grade papers.

=9:00 pm Takada High=

Jun Pei began packing up her belonging into her brief case. It had been a long night, but, she had finished her grading and was ready to go home. Just then a light knock sounded on the door outside of the classroom. 'Funny, I thought that I was the only one still here,' she thought. "Who's there," she asked with some alarm.

No answer...

"You're not supposed to be here, the school grounds are closed, come back next week," she stated quickly.

"Sorry, but, I don't have that kind of time," said an icy feminine voice coming from inside the classroom. Jun Pei spun around to meet two cold grey eyes with flecks of gold running through them.

"H.. how did you get in her.." she was cut off abruptly by the strange woman with the cold eyes.

"You tell the story of our people so well," said the woman. She was seated on one of the desks, with her legs folded, parallel to Jun. The woman's cold eyes began to glow as a soft wind entered the room and wafted her long midnight black hair. The wind in the class began to pick up and grow stronger as different articles in the room began to fly up and rise from the floor. Soon desks and chairs began to fly wildly around the room. Jun began to scream frantically as her own desk flew away from her. The desk that the mysterious woman was seated on began to float off the ground. She stepped away from the desk, sending it flying along with the rest of the debris, and began to walk towards a petrified Jun Pei.

"Wh...what are you doing?" Jun squeaked. The woman just continued to walk towards her; no sign of emotion marred her flawless pale features. When she came an arm's length from Jun Pei, she spoke again, totally ignoring Jun's question,

"However, as much as I love your story telling, I'm afraid you've become too comfortable in telling our tales...so...I must relieve you from your duties in this plane immediately." She lifted her hand gently in the air and caused all of the flying objects around her to halt, "sorry, but, this is going to hurt." Just then all of the objects suspended in the air locked on their target and charged.

=Spirit world=

"Ogre! Ogre!!" The blue man ran frantically to reach the toddler's, Koenma, side.

"Yes Koenma sir,"

"Did you just sense that enormous power coming from the human world?" Ogre stared at Koenma, noticing a slight twinge of worry in the toddler's hazel eyes.

"Uh...no sir I didn't" he replied matter- of -factly

"Well I should've expected that," just then ogre fell to the floor, shocked that Koenma would say something like that to him...again!

"Get off the floor ogre and stop fooling around! We have problems here! A real crisis! Contact yusuke and the others immediately and put them on the case.

Well that was chapter one. A little strange but it gets better I assure you looks from side to side well it does. Anywayz please review. The next chapter, chapter two duh is Enter Yumi. Will update soon

Ok just wanted to let you know that I'm one of those unfortunate people who did not watch the entire series of Yu Yu Hakusho, so I don't exactly know how much time went on between the end of the dark tournament and the sensui saga, so forgive me if the timing is off.

Also I wanted to let you all know that this story will go into the Makai tournament and that will probably be the last saga that the story will contain. Once again the story timing will be off and I plan to watch the entire series before I get to the last saga with Mukuro, Yomi and Raizen. Okies dokies please read and review.
