Disclaimer: I don't own YYH or any of it's characters. I one Katrina, Lisa, Serena, Marissa, and Alex.
AN: This will be my first fic that is not connected to our timeline. It will actually be about the time that YYH ends. So no grown up Yusuke or Kurama, though they are of age...(Walks off humming and grinning) -Let them think of that.-
Revised Note: Alright, I'm revising it so that speech is seperated from the text to give it a more organized feel.

Chapter One: Hell Raising Meeting
A group of girls sat around a fire, each wearing their own colored hooded cloaks. A girl in a green cloak had short black hair and sharp blue eyes. The girl next to her was dressed in a yellow cloak and had long black hair and warm brown eyes. The next girl, wearing a red cloak, had short bleached blonde hair, green eyes and an eye brow peircing. The girl to her left wore a dark blue cloak and had long curly red hair and light blue eyes. The last girl, wearing a purple cloak, had shoulder length copper blonde hair and peircing amethyst eyes. The air around them was friendly if a bit mysterious.
"So...Katrina...How's your bf doin'?" the girl in red asked the girl in purple. The other girls nodded, leaning in to hear Katrina's answer.
Katrina blushed and answered, "Well...He's doing great."
"Don't you mean doing you great?" the one in blue asked, an eyebrow raised.
"Oh come now, Alex." the girl in yellow giggled. "She's not old enough to be doing that..." she said.
Alex got a mischevious look in her eyes. "Why don't you tell that to Marissa." she said, pointing to the girl in red, who reached behind her and grabbed a bag of marshmellows and threw it at her.
Marissa turned to the girl in yellow, saying, "Just ignore her Serena. I know that I'm too young." Marissa smiled. "But damn. It's great to fuck. Right Lisa?" she asked the girl in green.
Lisa shrugged. "It's great to fuck with the girls' and guys' minds, that's for sure. I don't mean to be a tease, honestly." She batted her eyes innocently. The girls burst out laughing.
Finaly Lisa stopped laughing and looked at her watch then at the moon. "Okay girls, its time," she said in a serious tone. The others nodded and removed the marshmellows, chocolate bars, box of graham crackers and hanger wires from the area in front of them and replaced them with individual gems. A tourmalin for Lisa, a topaz for Serena, a rose quartz for Marissa, a crystal for Alex, and an amethyst for Katrina. They each took out a leather bag that had been tied to a belt that hung around their waist over the almost medievil looking dresses/robes which were the same colors of their cloaks, along with the little bag.
"Now," Lisa said. "We begin." She opened her bag and brought out a handful of green sand and threw it into the fire, chanting "I, Lisa, represent Earth, the nurturing element that houses all." The fire burned green.
Next Serena threw a handful of yellow sand from her bag into the fire. "I, Serena, represent Wind, the strong element that guides all." The fire burned yellow.
Marissa threw her handful of red sand into the fire. "I, Marissa, represent Fire, the passionate element that strengthens all." The fire burned red.
Alex threw in her handful of blue sand. "I, Alexandra, represent Water, the wise element that teaches all." The fire burned blue.
Last was Katrina. She threw in her handful of purple sand. "I, Katrina, represent Spirit, the great element that encompasses all." The fire burned purple.
The girls clasped hands, and chanted together, "As one we represent the Elemental Energies. We call upon you to lend us your power this night and do our bidding." The fire turned a miriad of colors as it rose high, nearly licking the branches seven feet above them.
When it died down, each girl's gem glowed. Lisa looked at all of them. "We have been granted this power for our bidding. Now we must use it," she said and, as if in ritual, the girls lifted their stones into their hands as one, chanting, "With this power at our bidding we summon a demon from the pits of hell."
The stones glowed even brighter and lifted from their hands to hover six inches above them. Suddenly they flew into the middle of the fire and then a bright light and force exploded from the flames, knocking the girls flat on their backs. When they managed to sit up, they saw a green skinned demon with several eyes on it's body standing in the middle of the extinguished fire. The demon turned around and glared at each of them. When it's eyes alighted on Katrina, a surprised look came over his face. Then he growled and disappeared.
The girls sat there in shock. After awhile Lisa spoke, "Well...hehe...It didn't go exactly as I had planned..."
Marissa laughed meekly, saying, "At least it worked unlike last time."
Alex nodded. "Yeah, next time we'll be able to bind a demon to us. You know what they say, 'third times a charm'," she said as Serena stood up and brushed her self off.
Katrina looked off into the distance, thinking about the look the demon had given her. Alex reached over and shook her, saying. "Earth to Katrina."
Katrina shook her head. "Don't you mean 'Water to Katrina'?" she joked.
Alex shrugged, saying, "Whatever. Hey, did you think that he looked kinda cute except for the scaly green skin and all the eyes?" Katrina looked at her oddly, like the others did. "Hehe...well..." Alex said, blushing.
Lisa stretched and yawned. "Well, girls, that spell took alot out of us. I say it's time we got into bed," she said, thumbing towards the big three room tent just behind them. The others nodded.

Hiei watched the five strange girls. He was angry and intrigued at how these girls were able to 'summon' him from the Makai and revert him to full demon form at that. -Who are these ningen girls? And who is that one with the amethyst eyes?- He listened to their chattering, but couldn't understand what they were saying, indicating that he wasn't in Japan. He powered down into his ningen form and stayed in a tree close to the girls' camp site, sharp eyes watching over the odd quintet, making sure no other demons would pop out of the portal that they had opened. He would later close it once the girls were safely away. He could sense that there were no youkai around for miles, another difference from Japan, where youkai paraded around as ningens everywhere, despite the fact that the ex-Spirit Detective and his friends lived there. He wouldn't be able to enter the portal, he practically heard the Kakai Barrier, which had been torn open by the girls' spell, snap back into place. As an S-class apparition, the barrier wouldn't let him pass between worlds, even though the barrier was intended to keep youkai of his class in Makai and not in the Ningenkai. -But then again, the Reikai is ruled by a toddler and run by fools.- he scoffed.
After an hour, the girls chatting died down and the little electric lamps in their tent were turned off. After several minutes there were sounds of peaceful sleep. Hiei decided to make sure. His Jagan started to glow, the bandana that usually hid it burned off during his transformation to full demon form. After a few seconds Hiei nodded. He jumped to lower branches to keep a closer guard. As he perched on a steady branch above the remains of the fire, the exhaustion caused by the sudden surge and near depletion of his power, thanks to the spell, caught up with him and his chin slowly fell to his chest, eyes drifting shut. As he slept, visions of bright purple eyes haunted his dreams.

Katrina woke up early, wanting to enjoy the quiet and peace of the early morning by herself. She silently, carefully and quickly made her way out of the tent. Once outside she stretched her arms over her head, back arching, her small black tank top showing her belly button while her purple soft cotton pajama bottoms threatened to fall off of her small hips, despite the tightened string that ran through the waist band. Hiei, having woken up barely two minutes before her, watched her from higher up in the trees. His eyes widened as he got a closer look at her. She had amazing reiki hidding within her. She probably didn't know it, it was so deep, but Hiei could see it. It glowed soft purple and gold. He then decided to 'look' closer at the other four. Sure enough, each had some reiki, each with their own colors: green, yellow, red, and blue. However, their reiki was different from the girl with the amethyst eyes. Their reiki was smaller and was of only one color. Something else was different but Hiei couldn't put his finger on it. He leaned closer and the branch, which he hadn't picked too well when he hurridly jumped higher when the girl had started to unzip the tent 'door', cracked. Hiei quickly jumped to another branch, this time a much better choice, and hid out of sight.
Katrina heard a cracking sound and looked up to her right. She thought she saw something dark flit between the trees. She took a step closer to try to see where the shadow had flitted to when a large crow flew in front of her face, squaking. She jumped back, scared out of her skin. "Shit!" she yelped, unable to keep it in due to the rush of fright.
It woke one of the other girls out of sleep abruptly, calling out 'What the hell?', which in turn woke another, who woke another, who woke another. Soon the girls stuck their heads out of the tent, looking blearily at her. Katrina put her hand behind her head. "Sorry, a crow just spooked me."
Lisa gave her a hard look. "Don't go out on your own again, at least not in the woods. Remember there's a demon on the loose," she said sternly.
Hiei looked at the girls, hearing one familiar word. 'Demon'. -What do they know about youkai?- His eyes narrowed, remembering the looks on the girls' faces when he emerged from the portal. He saw fear and shock, their eyes clearly telling him that this was their first encounter with a 'demon' or youkai. -The little fools don't know what they are messing with, trying to 'summon' a 'demon' from the Makai.- He continued to listen to their prattle as the group packed up their camp and started to journey out of the deep forest. He watched them closely with his Jagan, and waited until they were out of the forest before he closed the little portal. When his work was done he looked around. -Now to find out where I am, get the hell back to Japan and wait for a possible portal to allow me back in the Makai.-

Hiei quickly caught up with the girls as they loaded their camping gear into the back of an SUV close to the forest. He stayed in the tree line, watching and listening to the five. He still wasn't able to understand them, except for one word.
"Japan!" Marissa shrieked. She grabbed Katrina by the shoulders. "By the nine gates of Hell, why are you going to Japan!" she said, shaking Katrina.
Lisa grabbed Marissa's hands and removed them from Katrina's shoulders. "That's enough from your shaking..." She turned to Katrina and began to take up the shaking, not quite yelling, "Why did you wait until now to tell us! Now it's going to take forever to find a fifth member to take your place as Spirit!"
Alex shoved Lisa aside and shook Katrina, griping, "Did you even think of saying 'NO!'? Dammit! You have rights you know! You are in America!"
Serena disentangled Alex's hands from Katrina's shoulders and took her place, however she didn't shake Katrina, who thanked all the gods and prayed that her ears would stop ringing, she gave Katrina the tightest hug that the girl could give. "I'm going to miss you soo much!" the younger girl said.
Katrina patted the girl's back, sighing, "I'm going to miss you too." Marissa, Lisa, and Alex appeared in her line of vision, each with an angry scowl on their faces. "Okay! You too!" she said hurridly.
They continued to glare, obviously wanting to know why she was leaving their circle. Sighing, she explained, "Dad's job is transferring him to their office in Japan. He really can't say much, 'cuz even though he's high on the corporate chain, he's still low man on the totem pole for those that can manage the businesses and thus he gets to be the one sent to the new department in Japan, leaving all the higher ups content in their earned seats at home." The girls sighed, knowing they really couldn't do anything.
Hiei looked closely at the group of girls, hearing 'Japan' over and over again. He noticed another word. 'America'. Yusuke would sometimes talk about going to America to see how people lived on the other side of the world. His eyes narrowed. -If this is really the other side of the world, then I have a long journey ahead.- He remembered hearing Kurama study about the western civilizations and how this America was surrounded by two oceans on either side. -How the hell do I get across them and then how the hell do I get to Japan?- He cursed himself for not having listened to any of the youkai that talked about having been to America. A thought came to him. -If I can find any youkai around, I'm sure I can 'convince' them to show me how to get to Japan.- He smirked.
Hiei watched the girls load up into the vehicle and leave. He waited several minutes before heading in their direction, choosing to stay in the trees that lined the road. Hiei had followed them for two hours before he caught a wiff of youkai. Another smirk graced his face. -Now, time to get back to a temporary 'home'.-
