Disclaimer: Same old thing. I don't own Yu Yu Hakusho. Sorry for the wait, school makes me busy.
Those day went by quicker than I thought, but I didn't really feel like leaving. I liked being with Katsuro, it's like having an older brother or something. Katsuro says that if I could get permission I can always visit him sometime, but that's just not the same. It's not that I don't like Kurama, he did save me from possibly being killed, I just don't like the idea of being a thief. Katsuro had one last talk with me before we went outside. "Don't worry about anything. Just be sure you don't make him mad. Everything will be alright." He patted me on the head and waited with me outside. Katsuro simply laid back in the sunlight to relax, while I sat there watching the path of a flittering butterfly. I heard some footsteps in the distance. I squinted for a better view and could see it was Youko Kurama. He had a small sack attached to his belt. He finally reached the vicinity of the temple and spoke with Katsuro.
"Here, that would be the payment you asked for." Kurama removed the sack and handed it to Katsuro. He opened it and assorted gems were revealed. Katsuro smirked and replied, "This is good enough. Yuki-chan can go now." I stood up and went with Kurama while having one last look at the temple. "Yuki, we're going to meet with the rest of the group. You'll have to hurry or you'll be late." He already had a running start and I went after him. Judging by his expression, he could see I have improved. I was almost a few meters behind him as he bounded from tree to tree. We eventually came to a stop at some kind of hideout. There were other demons in white clothes similar to Kurama's. I could barely hear some conversation going on.
"He's back already..." "With two partners dead, he probably just grabbed any demon he could find..." "I heard he recruited a half-breed, he must be getting desperate." I started to get nervous, reluctant to meet them, but I followed Kurama towards the others. I received a few glares and there were a few whispers of "Is that a kid?" and "Youko must've gone insane..." I felt compelled to run, but remained at Kurama's side for now. Another demon approached us, judging by his scent I could see he was a wolf demon. He had black hair and icy blue eyes that felt like they were going to turn me to stone. I knew he didn't like me, but then again who would? He simply glared at me before turning towards Kurama.
"Is this her?" "Yes, remember what I told you." He growled in response, although it was barely noticeable. Kurama was about to leave, but not before he told me: "This is Haruo. He'll tell you what you need to know." He left leaving me and Haruo alone... I would of ran and hid if I wasn't frozen in place by fear. He grabbed me by the collar and pulled me to his eye level. "I'll tell you a few simple things, half-breed. You will only be allowed to refer to him as Youko-sama, you are not to do anything without permission, and one last thing: when Youko's not around, I'm the boss. Got it?" I nodded, his words were like venom slowly creeping into my system. He dropped me on the ground and walked away. I just sat there, nobody seemed to notice me as they went on with their lives. His tone, it seemed that Haruo couldn't stand being in even miles of my existence. Even back in my village where the kids would tease me, they had never had hate this strong for me. I suddenly heard a voice behind me: "Don't mind Haruo, he's always been like that."
I turned and saw a lady with dark blue hair and green eyes. She came towards me and helped me up. She had a kind tone in her voice and was very pretty. "My name is Michiko, you're Yuki right?" I nodded and responded with "Yes ma'am." She kneeled down to make eye contact with me and smiled. "Haruo must've scared you to death didn't he? Stupid jerk doesn't ever know when to back off." I wasn't sure whether she was just being nice to me or if she wanted to help. "Don't worry Yuki, I'll make sure he doesn't bother you too much. Although I've never seen him act this harsh before."
(Haruo's POV)
Damn half-breed trash, what pitiful demon would even think about doing such a thing with a human? I thought my own mother would be sane enough to not let herself become some kind of slut...
(Flashback in Normal POV)
A few years ago, in a mountainous region of demon world, a pack of wolf demons had a meeting involving the mate of their leader. She had just bore a half-demon child originally thought to be Lord Katashi's. Everyone was in an outrage, with some exceptions. Such as a young Haruo, who didn't quite understand what was going on. He was the prince of the wolf tribe, Katashi's son, and was wondering what has made everyone so angry. He had heard his parents in an arguement went the child was born. He could remember the incident very clearly:
"I can't believe you've soiled our bloodline, especially with a human!"
"I don't care Katashi, at least he treated me better than you ever did!"
"Shut up woman! How I treat you shouldn't matter, you belong in this pack and you will follow my rules."
"No, I am not giving up this child, he is my son and I should deserve to keep him."
"We do not need to keep this worthless runt with us."
"I'm not going to let you kill him!"
There were plans to kill the half-demon child and be rid of it, while going on as if it never happened. Haruo was told by his father not to acknowledge his mother, she didn't mean anything to the tribe anymore. He nodded in agreement, but left to see the half-demon that was his younger half-brother. The boy looked like any other wolf-demon child, with pointed ears, short black hair, and green eyes like his mother, but he had a human's scent all over him. The baby looked up at his older half-brother innocently, not knowing of his forbidden heritage. Haruo glared at him, it was this child's fault that his mother would plan to leave the pack, that his father was turning cold and hateful, that the pack was falling apart, and that the other wolf demon children started to mock him for his mother's deed, calling her a "human lover". Haruo growled at the child stating: "I wish you've never been born. Everything is going wrong because of you, and you can just lie there and not have a care in the world. You make me sick, you should go to hell like the humans."
He walked away, while later that night, his mother would take the child and never be seen again. Haruo decided to leave what was left of the pack. The other demons abandoned the pack, for they felt that there was nothing to be gained by being in a pack that could allow themselves produce half-breeds. Haruo didn't know where he would go, but he didn't feel as he should stay here with his father, who was now always angry and bitter. Haruo ran off into the forest, forever abandoning the pack where he was once a prince.
(End Flashback, Haruo's POV)
Half-breeds are nothing but trouble, what could Kurama be think of bringing that scum here? I'm not sure whether I'll be able to trust his judgement anymore. First Yomi, then Kuronue, we had lost some of our best thieves. It's probably better if we risk something we wouldn't be too attached to I guess. The half-fox just better stay out of my way.
(Yuki's POV)
Michiko offered to let me stay with her. She didn't seem to judge me like everyone else had, almost as she was the mother I never had. She told me that Kurama was planning on sending me out to steal something tomorrow. I started to get nervous, if I didn't do a good job, would he kick me out? What would I do if he did? What if I ended up as food for some hideous beast all alone with no one to help? Having Michiko was comforting in a way, it was almost nightfall and she made a bed for me to sleep in. This was better than being eaten by a demon I guess. Starting today, I am a bandit.
