Chapter One:

Yusuke Urameshi strolled down the crowded sidewalk, his school bag slung over his shoulder lazily as he debated wether to cut class or go to school and just annoy all of his teachers. Finally he reached the building and slumped against the wall, waiting for Keiko. After about ten minutes, he frowned. It wasn't like her to be late for school, and she probably would have told him if she wasn't feeling well, but . . since when was he a girl expert?

Turning, he saw a group of Keiko's ditzy friends staring at him and whispering to each other nervously.

"What the heck are you lookin at me for?!" They all jumped, and two of them pushed a third forward.

"W-well w-w-we wer-were ju-just w-wondering i-if y-you . ."

"I'm not gonna bite off your head! Spit it out!"

"HaveyouseenKeiko?" The brown-head finally rushed out, and looked extremely relieved that he didn't kill her. The bell rang loudly overhead as he shrugged.

"Nope."

"Well, do you know where she is? You are her boyfriend and everything . . ."

"WE'RE JUST FRIENDS! CAN'T YOU PEOPLE GET THAT THROUGH YOUR THICK HEADS?!" He yelled as he flushed bright red, sending the terrified girl scurrying back to her little friends, who intern sprinted for the building. Yusuke chewed his lip nervously, why wasn't Keiko there? Maybe he was worried about nothing, but . .

"Urameshi! Urameshi!" Kuwabara yelled as he ran up, panting heavily.

"I'm not gonna fight you Kuwabara, I . ."

"Not that!" the exhausted boy yelled, "Yukina's missing! She . ."

"What?!" *What if Keiko . . ?* "What happened?"

"I don't know, Genkai sent me to come get you."

"Then what are we waiting for?! Lets get going!" *Please, Keiko, be safe . . .*

***

Kuwabara and Yusuke burst into Genkai's temple, where a distressed Genkai, Botan, and Kurama where already assembled. Yusuke wondered where Hiei was, no way he wouldn't care about his missing sister.

"Where's the shrimp?" Kuwabara asked, as if reading his friends mind.

"I'm sure he'll be here soon." Kurama muttered, he and Yusuke exchanging a small nod.

"So have we got any leads?"

"None. Yukina disappeared in the middle of the night, nothing was disturbed or missing other than her. No note, nothing. Genkai didn't hear a thing." With a nod from the old woman confirming Botan's story, Yusuke felt a cold tingle run up his spine.

"Keiko didn't come to school today." Everyone's head shot up to look at him.

"We need to go see if she is alright." Kurama said calmly as he got to his feet, and Kuwabara nodded, the three boys sprinting out the door.

***

Hiei swore lowly from his tree top, scanning the area. He had sensed the disturbance with Yukina's energy and rushed to Genkai's to find her missing, nothing left except a faint alien spirit trial leading away from the temple. He had followed it as quickly as he could, just to be disappointed when it ended in the middle of the forest abruptly, as if whoever had taken his sister had just disappeared into thin air.

Looking down he saw Yusuke, Kurama, and the idiot running down the street towards Keiko's house.

"I won't fail you, Yukina." Hiei whispered, and turned to follow the group through the brisk morning air.

***

The three boys burst into the apartment, but nothing seemed out of place.

"Keiko?!" Yusuke yelled, "KEIKO?!" he was going to feel really stupid if she had just slept in, but . .

The group headed up the stairs, shocked at the new sight that met them. Books and clothing was strewn across the floor, tables and chairs turned over, glasses and plates lying shattered and forgotten on the carpet.

"Oh, no. Keiko . ." Yusuke muttered. No doubt about it now, she was gone. And judging from the condition of her apartment, not in very good condition.

"Don't worry, Yusuke." Kurama said gently, as if reading the boy's mind. "I can't smell any blood."

"So she's missing too."

"Yes." Kurama answered without turning, already knowing it was Hiei. "It seems Yukina was not the only one."

"Hey, it's the shrimp." Kuwabara yelled, receiving a dark glare from Hiei, who was opening his mouth for a witty retort.

"Did you find anything out?" Kurama interrupted before a fight broke out, and the fire demon shook his head.

"The perpetrator's ki disappears in a clearing in the forest. I have no idea where it is, my Jagan can't locate it or the girls."

Botan suddenly appeared outside the window, urgency on her face. "Koenma just contacted me, you need to hear this!" She slipped in and jumped of her oar, holding up her communication mirror as the others crowded around.

"Alright sir, they're all here." Little toddler Koenma looked at them, grim expression on his baby face as he spoke.



"Botan has informed me on the abductions. Recently we had a prisoner escape from confinement. His name is Natsu Ketsueki, and he's a time apparition. . ."

"Time apparition?"

"Yes. A demon that is capable of traveling back and forth through time. He is the last one left . ."

"How did you keep him in a cell?"

"With wards, As I was saying, he is the last one left in his race . ."

"Why?"

"Kuwabara, shut up!" Yusuke yelled, turning back to Koenma.

"Thank you, Yusuke. But anyway, somehow he got outside help to remove the wards and escaped. I believe he has kidnaped the girls and gone back in time to lure you all there, where he believes you will be weaker."

"Why doesn't he just go back and kill us all when we're defenseless toddlers?" Kurama speculated, and Koenma shrugged.

"I never said he was intelligent. But I have been able to locate what time he is in, and I can assure you he will be staying there. With extra baggage he wont have enough energy to travel time again for at least two weeks."

"So what time are we going to?"

"The fuedal era."

"Oh great!" Kuwabara yelled, throwing up his hands. "I read about this place in history class. ."

"You can read?" Kuwabara ignored Hiei's remark and continued.

"Everyone was just beaten the crap out everyone else, wars every few years, not to mention the stories about hundred foot tall demons." The orange haired boy shuddered, and Koenma nodded.

"Yes, it is a difficult time to be in, but I think that is Ketsueki's intent. And it will be in your best interest not to make a big show about getting there. If Ketsueki knows that you're there, he will probably kill Yukina and Keiko."

They all nodded in understanding.

"So how are we going to get to the fuedal era?"

"I have given Botan a device that will get you there safely. I'll contact you as soon as you get there, hopefully I'll have some more details for you." With that, Koenma's face faded and Botan closed the compact.

"So what's this device?" Hiei asked speculatively. Botan shown them all her wrist, which was adorned with a bright pink watch.

"It's the watch of time-travel! All I have to do is put in what year, day and time we want to be in, and there we go!" She fiddled with it for a moment, then pressed a button on the side.

"Here we go!"

"Wait! Can't we hold on a sec . ." Kuwabara was cut off when they disappeared with a flash of light.

The end of Chappie one, and its a . . .cliffhanger! dumdumdum. Well, not really, but the chapter is longer than the prologue! Yay! C&C me! that didn't sound right . . . .^-^
