Chapter 1 Once Upon a Time…
Once upon a time in a far away land a young prince lived in a shining castle. The young prince's name was Yusuke Urameshi or Prince Urameshi to some. Although he had everything his heart desired, Prince Urameshi was spoiled, selfish, unkind, and a real ss.
But then on winter's night, there was a knock on the door.
"Can somebody answer the dmn door!" shouted the prince.
After no response, and the knocking being persistent, the handsome prince decided to answer it himself. He threw open the door as soon as he got to it.
"What!" he shouted but was surprised to find no one there. He was about to go back inside when he heard someone clear their throat.
Prince Urameshi looked down to find an old woman dressed in a torn and beat up trench coat, soaked to the bone.
"Excuse me my good sir, but could you find it in your heart to shelter this poor old woman?" She then takes out a rose. "I can pay you for your kindness with this rose." The woman says, her trench coat covering her dark eyes and faded pink hair.
"Go find a room at the inn ya old Hag." scoffed Prince Urameshi.
"Please sir, I'd be no trouble."
"You're already causing trouble grandma! Now scram before I have you thrown off of my property!"
The prince was about to close the door when the old woman was surrounded in a beautiful pink light. The Prince blinked and saw a beautiful woman with pink hair standing where the old woman once stood.
"Who the hell are you and where's that ol' hag!" asks Prince Urameshi, who isn't quite sure what he saw was real.
"I am that ol' had dimwit, except I'm actually a witch. My name is Genkai." says the woman now known as Genkai.
"I thought witches flew on broomsticks and had warts?" asks Prince Urameshi, still confused.
"One witch has an acne problem and seen flying around with a broom, while sweeping her roof, and everyone thinks we all have warts and fly on broomsticks." sighs Genkai.
"Well, if you're a witch why didn't you make your self someplace to stay instead of bothering me!" shouts the prince.
"Because dimwit, I wanted to see if you had a heart, but obviously you don't."
"Is that all? You bother me for that! That's stupid." snorts Prince Urameshi.
"Shut up dimwit."
"And stop calling me dimwit, ya old hag!"
"Dimwit"
"Old hag!"
"Dimwit"
"Old hag!"
"I have no time for this. Since your heart is ugly, I'll make you ugly too!"
"Hey wait a minute!" shouted the Prince, but it was too late, and started to transform.
He grew long claws and sharp fangs. Fur covered his whole body.
Two furry ears appeared on the top of his head. His face looked across from a lion and a wolf. His back became hunched over and he had a fluffy tail. In other words he became a beast.
Unfortunately, the prince wasn't the only one cursed. Everyone with in the castle was turned into an object that best suited them.
"What the hell!" shouted the prince as he looked at himself.
"There you look just how you should with that heart of yours." smirked Genkai.
The prince growled and grabbed Genkai, bringing her to his face. They were now nose to nose.
"Change me back." He gritted out.
"Can't"
"Why not!"
"It's irreversible."
"What!" shouted the prince, more upset then angry. He drops Genkai, who lands gracefully on her feet.
"There is one way…"
"Tell me!" pleaded the prince.
Genkai handed the prince the rose. "You must find someone who will love you before the last petal of that rose falls."
"What if know one loves me?" asks the prince, sadness in his voice.
"Then you will remain a beast forever."
Years went by and still the prince remained looking like a beast. He let his castle go and wouldn't leave his property.
In a little town, not too far from Prince Urameshi's castle, was a young man named Kazuma Kuwabara. He lived with his mother, whose name was Shizuru, and his little sister Yukina Kuwabara. His father was killed by thieves when he was coming back from the market place in Paris. Kazuma was 5 at the time, his little sister only 2.
Now he is a young man of 19 and the man of the house. He was also a very handsome boy, much like his father. He had curly orange locks of hair which was short, but long enough to put back into a pony tail. He had deep brown eyes with a twinkle of gold within them. His skin was fairly pale, but it might have been on the account he didn't go out side too much, unless to go to the town for his mother or to the library to borrow a book. He was also the tallest in the town, standing at 6'2".
Kazuma was admired by all for his looks and his kind soul, though he was also seen as an unusual soul also. Kazuma wasn't into the same things that most boys his age were into. He would rather be reading a classic story about knights and dragons then play futball ((that is the soccer football, not the American football )) or any other sports. He did get into fights with the other boys his age, but that was about the only thing he did that would be expected from a boy his age.
It was common knowledge with in the village that the Kuwabara's had strange 'gifts' and could sense someone or know something before it happened. Kazuma was able to talk to ghosts. Another 'gift' he was known for was he could create any king of object out of thin air it seemed, however he would actually use his aura to create those objects.
Normally, this would be considered witch craft, however, the villagers believed it to be the work of God instead.
On this particular day, Kazuma was nose deep in another adventure story. He was wearing a light blue shirt and brown slacks, his orange curls tied back like he normally had it. He was so deep in reading the book that he didn't notice someone watching him.
A tall slender man with slicked back black hair leaned against a building with his arms folded across his chest. His brown eyes were so dark it was mistake for black. He was the second tallest in the village, being 6 ft. He was also very handsome and wanted by both boys and girls, which wasn't uncommon in this village for guys to marry another guy. As Kazuma walked by the man, he felt someone grab his arm, jerking his arm and causing him to drop the book.
Kazuma turned and glared at the man, who was two years older then himself.
"Look what you made me do!" says Kazuma, in a calm voice. He knew better then to mess with the mayor's son. He bet down and picked up the book which had unfortunately fallen into a mud puddle.
"Awwww man; I have to return this next week!" Kazuma said, taking out a handkerchief and wiping the book off.
"Why do you read those stupid things, Kazuma? Why don't you act like a normal guy and join in the fun men are supposed to have?"
"What? Act like jerks?" glares Kazuma, though somehow still being polite.
The older man frowned.
"Oh Kazuma, why are you always mean to me? You know I can have you and your mother and dear baby sister living out on the street."
Kazuma clenched his teeth and sighed.
"I'm sorry Sensui Shibo."
The dark man grinned.
"That's what I like to hear, now if you would only accept my offer…" he says, grinning at the boy and placing his hand on the boy's shoulder.
Kazuma glared at him.
"I told you before; I don't like you like that."
The man squeezes Kazuma's shoulder hard, causing the boy to wince a bit in pain.
"I don't understand you. You don't like me, even though if you should date me would help your family with their debts. Then you talk of love and the ideals of how the power of love can help one get through their problems. Those types of thoughts, my dear Kazuma, are only found in the story books you read and are not found in reality."
"No. It is very real, but you wouldn't know since you only care about yourself and what makes you happy." says Kazuma, looking dead into Sensui's eyes.
Sensui let's go of Kazuma's shoulder.
"One day Kazuma, one day I will have you."
'And learn the secret of your 'gifts' of God.' He thinks to himself.
Kazuma glares at him and tucks the semi-clean book under his arm.
"That will never happen. Good day Sensui." Kazuma turns and continues on his way home to the little cottage outside of the little village.
'I will have him and his 'gifts'' thinks Sensui as he watches Kazuma leave the village.
"I'm home!" shouts Kazuma, as he walks into the little cottage.
He had lived in this cottage for 14 years of his life. After his father was murdered, his mother had gone into debt and had to sell the house. With the little money she did have, Shizuru moved west to this very town. She made a deal with the mayor of the village. Shizuru would work as the village doctor, using her 'gifts' of God, along with her daughter Yukina who had the 'gift' too. In exchange, they were given free food and a nice cottage outside of the village.
Even though the Kuwabara family's 'gifts' were considered 'gifts' of God, the villagers were still scared of the family. So having them live outside of the village, yet close enough to have them be considered part of the village was comfortable with everyone in the village, as well as the Kuwabara family who felt a bit like out casts anyway.
Shizuru came out from the kitchen, wearing black pants and a white blouse. She was never really fond of dresses or skirts for that matter; and would often hang around with the men of the village more then the women. She was looked down upon by the woman of the village for this, yet was loved and accepted by all the men she had hung around with.
Shizuru had long brown hair and brown eyes. She was an inch shorter then her son, which was who he had gotten his tall stature from.
"Hello Kazuma, I see you got another book, though I think you should have gotten one in better condition." says Shizuru, lilting up a cigar.
"Yeah, well, it was until Sensui grabbed Me." mumbled Kazuma.
Shizuru frowned.
"What did he do this time?"
They walked into the kitchen, and sat down. Kazuma covered his face with his hands.
"He was just messin with me, that's all. He still says he like me and wants me." Kazuma said, the last part with disgust.
Shizuru shook her head.
"I can't believe that boy is related to Mayor Shibo; must be from his mother's side."
Both of them laughed at that. Everyone knew that Sensui's mother was a witch, and had left the village on a cold winter's night, 14 years ago. The same time the Kuwabara's came to town.
"So where is my sweet baby sister, Yukina?" asks Kazuma.
Shizuru smile; she thought she was blessed to have two beautiful and loving children.
"She's in the back, getting ready to leave for that expose. She's really excited about going to Paris, not to mention meeting all of those other healers, who are the best in the world." says Shizuru, standing up and checking on dinner, while taking a quick drag on her cigar.
Kazuma frowned.
"Ma, why are you letting her go alone? I mean the woods are dangerous. I still think I should go with her."
"Kazuma we've been through this for the past month now. Yukina's 16 years old now, and can take care of her self."
"But…" says Kazuma, thinking about his father.
"Your father, God rest his soul, was a gentle man, who couldn't even harm a mosquito."
Shizuru smiled in remembering her dear kind hearted husband who Yukina had taken after in not just looks but his kind nature as well.
"He wasn't any way able to protect himself. Your sister, on the other hand, even though taking after your father in many ways, can defend her self if she feels she needs to."
Kazuma sighed, knowing his mom was right, like usual. He stood up and began to leave.
"Kazuma."
He turns.
"She'll be fine." She smiles at her son, who does the same.
"OH and tell her dinner will be ready in 10, k?"
"Yes ma'am." Kazuma says before leaving.
In the little shed, behind the cottage, was Yukina. Her long light blue hair was tied back out of her beautiful face. She was brushing a white horse, whose coat had a silver tint to it, hence the horse's name Silver. Yukina was humming as she brushed the soft silvery mane.
Kazuma knocked on the door.
"Yes?" Yukina asks her voice soft and sweet.
"It's me little sister, Kazuma."
"Come in Kazu." says Yukina, using his nickname.
He walks in and smiles as he watches his little sister hum and gently brush Silver's mane. Yukina pats the horse's head lightly and turns her deep red eyes towards her brother's brown. She gives him a smile and run up to him. He embraces her and gives her a kiss on top of her head.
"How's my sweet Yuki?" Kazuma asks, using her nickname.
"I'm fine, and yourself?" she asks, looking up at her elder brother, but still in his embrace.
"I'm fine." He sighs.
"What's the matter, Kazu?"
Kazuma sighs again and let's go of his dear sweet sister and turns away from her.
"I'm going to miss you when you leave."
Yukina frowns and takes a step towards her brother, concern on her face.
"I will only be gone for a few days. It will only take a day or so to get to Paris, less since I will be riding Silver." She smiled.
Kazuma sighs and turns back around.
"I know…but…but I hate the fact that you are going alone."
Yukina looked at her brother and gentle turned his head, which wasn't looking at her, to look at her.
"Please don't worry Kazuma. I'll be fine. I promise that I will be careful."
Kazuma sighs.
Yukina smiles and hugs her brother. He wraps his arms around his small little sister and gives her a kiss on the top of her head.
"I know you will."
"Goodbye mother! Goodbye Kazuma!" shouts Yukina as she rides off on the road that leads to Paris.
"Bye Yukina! Good luck!" shouts Shizuru taking a puff on her cigar.
"Please be careful my sweet Yuki!" shouts Kazuma.
Yukina smiles back at him.
"I will! Good bye!"
As Yukina continues on her journey, it beginning to get late, she realizes she is lost and holds out a lantern she had lit sometime ago.
"We should have been there by now. Maybe we missed the turn. I guess I should have taken a…wait a minute."
Yukina shines the lantern on a sign that says 'Analectic' pointing one way, while 'Valence' pointing the other way.
"I believe Paris is closest to Valence, so we'll go this way. Come on Silver."
Silver looks down the path his ride had chosen, which happened to be a dark and scary road. Silver looked down the other road and found it must more pleasant then the other road and tried to go down that path.
"Come on Silver. This way is the correct path." says Yukina, guiding the spooked horse down the dark and scary path.
Silver reluctantly starts down the scary path.
Yukina looks around after they traveled a little while into the scary forest that the road had let them to.
"Oh this can't be right…maybe it was the other path…we'd better go back." Yukina says.
Just then a swarm of bats fly out of a tree that the frightened horse happened to be next to, spooking the horse even more, causing him to run blindly through the forest. The frightened horse dodged the trees, but causes Yukina to drop the lantern during the horse's flight. Yukina tried to calm the creator down, but it was no use. Silver had run so far, that he had almost ran over a cliff, but had managed to stop himself in time before that could happen.
"Back up. Back up. Good boy, that's it, steady." soothed Yukina, having the frightened horse back away from the cliff.
A wolf cried, which caused the last never of the poor horse to break and cause the horse to buck Yukina off of his back and ran off. Luckily Yukina wasn't hurt; however she had lost her ride.
"Silver! Silver come back!" shouted Yukina.
Yukina hears a growl behind her. When she turns around, she finds several hungry looking wolves growling at her. Yukina gasps and scrambles to her feet.
She runs blindly through the forest. Yukina stumbles down a hill and lands at the gate of a castle.
Quickly she stands and grabs the lock gate, trying to shake it open.
"Help! Is someone there?" Yukina asks a bit of hope and fear laced together in her voice.
As if by some kind of magic, the gate opens and Yukina runs in, slamming the gate in the faces of the wolves. A piece of her clothing had ripped off and slowly fell to the ground, as the painting Yukina turns and starts to walk towards the castle.
When Yukina reaches the door, she looks at it, deciding whether or not she should knock. She finally brings her self to knock on the door. The door creaks open as she knocks the third time. She pushes the door a bit further and cautiously enters the castle.
"Hello?" Yukina walks deeper within the caste, looking around. She doesn't notice a candle stick and clock on the table.
"The poor girl." whispers the candle stick.
"Keep quiet! Maybe she'll go away!" the clock harshly whispers back.
Yukina looks around, thinking she had heard a voice.
"Is someone there?"
"Not a word Kurama. Not a word." Whispers the clock to the candle stick who is now known as Kurama.
Yukina now knows she wasn't hearing things. She had heard a voice.
"I don't mean to intrude, but I've lost my horse and I need a place to stay for the night."
Kurama gives the clock a pleading look.
"Oh come now Koenma. I really don't see how this can hurt."
Koenma covers Kurama's mouth and glares.
"Might I remind you that I am in charge while the master is busy?" Koenma hissed.
Kurama, not liking how Koenma was treating him, decides to place his lit candle on the handle Koenma is covering his mouth with.
Koenma throw his hand back and shouts many 'ows' over as he blows on the small fire that had begun to form on his handle, courtesy of Kurama.
Kurama gives Koenma a satisfied look and speaks.
"Of course you are welcome here my lady."
Yukina is startled not really expecting someone to answer her.
"Uh thank you very much kind sir, but where are you?" she asks, picking up Kurama, trying to find out who and where the voice had come from.
Kurama taps her on the shoulder.
"I'm right here, my lady."
Yukina turns, but doesn't see anyone.
"Where, my good sir?" she asks.
Kurama sighs and taps the hand she is carring him in. Yukina looks down at her candle stick.
"Allo." Kurama says, giving her a warm smile.
Yukina, startled, gasps and drops poor Kurama.
"I'm sorry!" Yukina says, kneeling next to the talking candle stick. Kurama rubs his head.
"That's quiet alright. I did scare you after all."
"Oh no no no no! You are worse then Botan! The master is sooo gonna have a fit when he finds out!" shouts Koenma.
"What are you?" asks Yukina, looking in awe at the clock.
"I, miss, am the overseer of the master's servants." says Koenma, glaring at the girl.
"Oh you are soaked to the bone! Come and warm yourself by the fire." Says Kurama, guiding the poor girl to another room.
"Oh thank you, but I wouldn't want to be any trouble."
"No trouble at all!" says Kurama, showing Yukina over to the fire place.
"Now wait just a second Kurama! Do you know how pissed off the master will be!"
As Koenma continued, he fails to notice that they are being watched from the overhead hallway; the figure races downstairs, as the intruder and his two servants walk towards the door.
"I demand that you stop…right…there!" shouts Koenma, forgetting about the steps that lead to the room Kurama had lead their 'guest' to. Koenma falls down the steps and once he looks up he is terrified to see Kurama showing their 'guest' to the master's chair.
"Oh no! Not his chair!" shouts a freaking out Koenma, as a foot stool runs past him and barks up a storm.
"I'm not seeing this. I'm not seeing this!" says a freaking out Koenma, shaking his head.
The foot stood come up to Yukina, who giggles and gently pats its 'head'.
"Well hello there." She says.
The foot stood gives a pleased bark before going under Yukina's feet.
"Why thank you." She says with a smile.
"Alright, this is enough! I'm in charge here and…" before Koenma could say another word; he was run over by a tea cart, which stopped next to the chair.
"Hello, my name is Botan! How about some tea?" the tea kettle asks all bubbly.
"It'll warm you up in no time." The tea kettle says, while pouring some tea into a cup.
After Botan filled the cup up, it hopped over to Yukina, who picks up the cup.
"Why thank you." She says, smiling, taking a sip.
"No not tea!" says Koenma, still trying to pry his face from the floor.
"She's cold, mama." said the shivering cup.
Yukina looks at the cup.
"Well hello there, and what's your name?"
"My name is Bingo!" said the little cup.
Before Yukina could make a comment, the door, which was partly closed, blew open, causing the fire and Kurama's flames to be blown out.
Koenma, having successfully pried himself off of the floor, dives for cover. Botan begins to shake, Bingo moving behind her mother.
The master enters, pissed off.
"There's a stranger here."
"Yusuke, let me explain…this young lady was lost in the woods and was cold and wet…"
The beast roars, putting out Kurama's flames out again.
Koenma, who was hiding under the rug.
"Yusuke, I would like to take this moment to say…I was against this from the start. I tried to stop them, but would they listen to me? NO NO NO!"
Again, the beast roared, drowning out whatever else Koenma was saying.
Poor Yukina, looked to one side of the chair and then to the other. She sees the beast.
"Who the Hell are you and what the Hell do you think you're doing here?" growled the beast.
"I'm sorry!" says Yukina, scared of the horrible beast.
The beast glares, hating the look the girl is giving him. Fear.
"What the Hell are you looking at!" he growls out.
"No-nothing." stutters the poor girl, who gets up and tries to run out of the room, however the beast blocks her way out.
"So, you've come to stare at the beast, have you?" glared the beast.
"Please, I meant no harm! I just needed a place to stay!" says Yukina, quivering in fear.
The beast snorted.
"I'll give you a place to stay!" he then throws the frightened girl over his shoulder and storms out of the room, his servants, Kurama, Koenma, Botan, and Bingo, following behind him.
