Riyou: Look! I'm updating! OMFG. Since my Internet is being a Jackass, I decided to write this chapter for you guys. But since said Internet is acting up, it probably won't be updated the day I finish it, wonderful, Ne? *Sighs*

Disclaimer: Riyou does not own Yu Yu Hakusho. ((Someone told me I spelled it wrong…I looked on the Manga and it smacked me in the face. One u. ehe…))

Old Friends

----Dream---- (Hey, does anyone else notice there are a lot of dreams in Fanfiction? x3)

A young Yuri knelt at the side of the bed, facing a form under the thick comforter. The figure slowly shifted itself about, to face the small child.

"Mommy, please don't leave me!" The small girl's shoulders shook, from her fit of hysterics no doubt. The figure on the bed reached out a frail hand and patted the girl on the head.

"It'll be ok, you'll still have daddy, won't you? I love you, my Yuri-Chan…" With these words said, Yuri's mother closed her eyes, forever. The dreamscape suddenly changed, and a slightly older Yuri was running once again through the kingdom, avoiding the misery, death, and destruction all around her, only to collapse at the side of her deceased father in tears. Slowly, Yuri said the word's she'd forgotten about until now ((Notice they weren't in chapter one.)), "I'll kill them daddy, for what they've done to you. I'll kill them all…"

----End Dream----

Yuri woke up, gasping for breath. She immediately sat up and buried her face in her hands. 'I haven't dreamed about my Mother's death for the longest time. Father's, yes…but not Mother's,' She thought to herself. She slowly lifted her head from her hands and surveyed her surroundings, finding them nothing at all like the temple grounds she had last remembered. The moon was out, illuminating a meadow of sorts, with the forest all around it. Under her breath, she muttered, "Shit…" and fumbled around for her bow and arrows in the dim light. Finding them only feet from her, she breathed a sigh of relief. 'Whoever brought me here must be a bit unwise, leaving these by me.' Of course, Yuri would have been fine anyway. It wasn't like she couldn't protect herself with her Demonic powers, but she just preferred to have her hands remain blood-free, at least, until she met the Bastards who killed her father.

A breeze of wind blew a few strands of her raven black hair into her face, and she hastily pushed it back behind her ear, her silver eyes scanning the area for any sign of well, anybody. Finding nothing, she stood up and brushed herself off, stopping only to glare at some minor rips in the fabric of her Miko outfit caused by the fight with the snake demon earlier. "Well this is just great. Just PERFECT. I wake up, have no clue where I am, and to top it all off? I've got to deal with having only 3 Fucking arrows. Hope nothing jumps me on the way back home…" Her black fox ears were pressed against her head in annoyance. "Curse my luck." ((Such foul words for a lady of her stature! O-o)) As Yuri started walking away; she heard something rustle in the bushes ahead of her, to the right. Her ears pricked forward, focusing on the sound. ((No, it's not Youko.)) She reached back and pulled an arrow out of her quiver, positioned it on the bow, and stood deathly still and quiet, aimed at the bush. The bush rustled some more, and a raccoon scurried out of it, and out of sight.

Yuri sighed, and lowered her bow. "God, now I feel like such an idiot-" She was cut off however, by something jumping out of a tree behind her, and landing on the ground. She spun around quickly, braced her front foot into the ground as she turned, and released the arrow she already had strung on the bow at the creature as soon as she had a clear shot. It emitted a blinding holy light, as it hit its target straight on. The head of an Ookami rolled to rest at her feet. She turned away, disgusted. As soon as she did however, 3 more demons leaped from the trees. Yuri whined, "You've GOT to be kidding me! I've only got 2 arrows left!" One of the demons jumped forward, and she managed to block with her right arm. However, in the process, her arm was cut from just below the wrist and stopped short just of her elbow. And to add insult to injury, another demon had already managed to tear the quiver off her back and destroy the remaining arrows she had left. "I stand corrected." Yuri spat coldly, "You give me no choice, you filthy mutts." She reached into a pouch she had tied onto her sash, and pulled out what looked like millions of tiny red seeds. Fooled the demons were though, as the seeds only looked like a small pile of dust in her hand. "Are you going to throw that sand into our eyes?" One laughed. Yuri just looked at him with a level glare. Already their presence was irksome, and the steady dripping of the blood from the wound on her arm wasn't helping. "This isn't sand. Goodbye, fool." She blew the seeds out of her hand, and in the moonlight they glittered an eerie red, before landing on the demons surrounding her. She smirked, and let out a small burst of her spirit energy. Not enough to be spotted, but just enough to get the seeds to sprout. The seeds did so, and engulfed the demons in vines, before becoming ablaze with flames.

As Yuri walked away, she heard they're antagonizing screams, and winced. "Nice work back there. It seems I wasn't needed after all." A voice that seemed familiar reached her ears. And for the third time that night, Yuri stopped cold.

Riyou: Ta Da! I got the idea while eating Dinner last night.
