A tired moan came from her lips when she was jabbed in the side; she disliked being awoken in such a manner. Who in her family woke her up like that? No one, by what she could remember. She opened her eyes slowly when she was jabbed in the side again, only to look into a pair of dark crimson eyes. Her blood ran cold as fear pumped through her veins when she got a good look at who the crimson eyes belonged to.

The monster towered over her at a good six feet if not taller, red hair hung to mid-back, two large fangs poked out from his mouth. His skin color was a purplish color, his claws had a hooked look, and his eyes were pinned on her with hunger deep in their depths.

'A monster!' her mind screamed at her. She crawled out of the way when his large hand came down to pierce his claws into her stomach. She clumsily scrambled to her feet and began running through the forest she somehow ended up in, she looked over her shoulder to see if the monster was still in pursuit. Sure enough, he was barreling through the trees not wanting his meal to get away.

She cried out in pain when his claws raked down her back, tears sprung to her eyes and began falling as she continued to run away from the monster that wanted her for breakfast.

'Where am I? How did I get here?' she wondered. She almost cried out in joy when she saw a cave entrance, just large enough for her to crawl in. Upon seeing possible escape, she forced herself to run faster. The monster growled and seemed to start catching up with her seeing that she might get away. She dropped to the ground and quickly started crawling into the entrance, shrieking when the monster grabbed her ankle and started to pull her out.

"Let me go!" she shrieked as she kicked her leg around trying desperately to get free. "Let go, please let me go!" she continued to say over and over while violently thrashing her leg around. She managed to stay halfway in the cave because of the large rock she was able to hook her arms around. Tears coursed down her cheeks in fear, the monster was pulling so hard she feared he would rip her leg clean off.

'I don't want to die, I don't want to die!' her mind cried out as she shrieked again when the monster gave a particularly hard pull. She felt something snap and began to cry out of pain. She could hear a chuckle that most likely came from the monster at the sound of her crying. He said something in a language she couldn't understand, but it couldn't have been nice due to the venomous tone his voice took on. Suddenly her leg was released and the monsters body hit the ground with a dull thud.

She was relieved at the sound, but fearful because it meant that a bigger and stronger monster was there. She started to pull herself into the cave, wincing each time she moved her right leg in a way it didn't like. A hand grabbed her good leg causing fear to course through her once more. It began to drag her out of the cave, making her kick her leg viciously in an attempt to escape. However, something sharp entered her ankle causing her to stop and cry out. She was finally pulled out into the light of the red sun, the hand still firmly around her ankle.

"Let me go!" she cried out desperately. The one who had her ankle in a tight grip said something harsh, in a language she again didn't understand. He said something in a few other languages, which confused her. "Let go!" she kicked her leg again only to be rewarded with the same pain from before. She instantly stilled.

Seeing that anything he said was either going ignored or not understood, the person took hold of her chin and forced her to look at him. Her eyes widened as she got a good look at the man…no…youkai that had her.

"L-lord Yomi!" her voice was weak as her body shook. An eyebrow rose in, what seemed to be, confusion. It seemed that a name was a name no matter what language it was spoken in.

'How can this be?' she thought. 'He's from a show! He's not real!' Panic began to settle in as she tried to move away from him. His lips formed a thin line as she tried to escape again; he let out a low growl. She stilled again, at least that got through to her. It seemed she didn't speak the language, so he would have to get things through to her in other ways.

"Let go!" she repeated knowing full well now that he wouldn't understand her. Yomi released her leg only to grab her by her arm and force her to stand up. She cried out when she put too much weight on her right leg. He tugged on her arm, as if telling her to walk. However, when she tried she cried out again as her legs threatened to buckle if she tried again. She shook her head at him when he tugged again, wondering if he could sense it or something. "I can't," she let desperation fill her voice. "I can't walk." If he couldn't understand her language, let him understand her tone.

Yomi let out an exasperated sigh, wondering why he hadn't killed her yet. Yes, now he remembered. Hiei must be getting lazy if this human passed through the barrier unnoticed.

Humans weren't completely useless though, they did make excellent servants once you got them past the rebellious stage. They were weak and easily ordered around, that is if they valued their pathetic lives. He tossed her carelessly over his shoulder and began walking again, ignoring her squeak of protest.

'What's going to happen to me?' she wondered.

M.W.M.N.

It seemed like hours before a large building came into view, it wasn't a typical castle, didn't even look like one like she thought it would.

'Wow,' she couldn't help but think. Panic had ebbed away into a dull fear for the moment, she didn't doubt though that panic would set in again. Yomi punched in a few numbers on the keypad that opened the door, she continued to hang over his shoulder as he entered and walked past a few youkai. Panic set it again as she began to wonder where he was taking her. He entered another room, one that smelled strongly of medicine or something. She was put on a white bed before he turned and gave orders to the youkai in the room before leaving. Panic set in again as she shrunk against the back wall, trying to get as far away from the youkai as possible without hurting her leg anymore than it was.

This youkai seemed to bear a sort of resemblance to Juri, one of the announcers in the dark tournament, except he was male and stronger looking. His green eyes looked over her for a moment, as if he were able to diagnose her problem just by looking at her. He turned to a few of the strange instruments and began putting a few things together which scared her.

Tears stung the corners of her eyes as she shook on the bed wanting to go home then and there. The youkai said something that she, yet again, didn't understand. If he was saying what was going to happen she was going to be very upset because she couldn't understand! She could have sworn that she saw a pair of emerald eyes looking through the partially open door, but was distracted by the large youkai coming towards her with a needle. She curled further against the wall, looking desperately for a way out. Her heart pounded against her chest as her breathing quickened. Ignoring the pain in her leg, she darted around the youkai to the door.

She crashed straight into a firm chest, quickly coming to the realization that she had no way out. She looked up into the face of Yomi, who was probably asking what was wrong. She started to struggle when he grabbed her wrist to prevent her escape.

"Let me go, I just want to go home!" she cried out as tears began to run down her cheeks. The youkai with the needle simply shrugged, not knowing why she was freaking out. Yomi lifted her back onto the bed and grabbed both wrists in one hand and forced her to look at him with the other.

"No!" she cried out, trying to break free from his grip. He only held on tighter, letting a harsh growl fill the room. However, this did not stop her actions this time. He held onto her chin, his expression becoming stern. She tightly closed her eyes as the needle went into her skin; her sobs became silent not wanting to upset Yomi further. Once the needle was removed, Yomi let go of her. He urged her to lie down, she resisted at first. As her vision became fuzzy and everything became disoriented, she allowed herself to lie down. Her thoughts became mixed-up and confused, everything started to become dark. She heard a few words spoken before she finally fell into the world of unconsciousness.

M.Y.W.I.S.H.M.Y.N.I.G.H.T.M.A.R.E.
