Please remember to keep your hands, arms, legs and feet inside the vehicle at all times and enjoy the ride. ((Cough cough))





The next morning Shara woke up to her little brother pounding on the door, screaming to for her get up. Hiei woke up as well upon hearing the loud banging sound.

“What do you want, Moto (moo-toe)?” she yelled at her brother as she turned on her side.

“You have to get up,” he said.

“Why? It’s the weekend!” she asked, annoyed that she wasn’t getting her sleep.

“You have that thing with dad, remember?” he said. Shara’s eyes snapped open when her brother said this.

“Oh SHIT!” she said, getting up so quickly that she got a head rush and had to sit back down. She got up and ran to her bathroom to turn on her shower, then ran to her closet door and flung it open. She walked in and picked out a nice outfit and laid it on her bed. She then walked back to her shower and got in. The water was hot, and steam rose all around Shara’s body. Once she got out of the shower it took her about five minutes to get dressed, put on make-up, and everything else. Once she was out the door Hiei looked at her, confused. Before he had time to think about it she was in a car, starting it up.

Hiei was following her with ease, and she was going pretty fast. She raced down a couple of streets, turned here and there; it all got quite confusing for Hiei. Finally, after about ten minutes of driving Shara arrived at her destination. She stepped out of her car, gave the keys to one of the chauffeurs, and walked in. Hiei, after catching his breath only slightly, sat down on a near by building to watch. He saw as Shara walked in that she was walking straight for an evil looking man. Hiei squinted his eyes in suspicion.

Shara walked in and heads started to turn from what she was wearing, even Hiei who was supposed to not care about anything. Her dress was simple yet elegant; it was blood red, went mid thigh, had a v-neck, looked a little like a t-shirt, and had one sparkly blood red strip down the middle. Shara walked over to her dad with the look of trying to talk your way out of something.

“I’m so sorry dad. I completely forgot,” she said as she reached him. Her father eyed her up and down, “Its ok sweet heart, I’m just glad you’re here,” he said as he grabbed her shoulder and squeezed it, hard. She winced at the slight pain. Hiei stood up with a jerk, and his eyes became a little harder when he saw this. He was about to run in and kill her father right on the spot, but decided not to show himself until the opportune moment.


“Like I said before father, I’m sorry I was so late,” she said as if it never happened.

“Good, it better not happen again. You know this could be the big break I’ve been waiting for,” he said with a slight hiss. Shara just put on a fake smile and nodded. As the night progressed it went pretty smoothly, except for the fact her father was wanting more than one drink at once. But otherwise it went fine. But when it was finally over, and Shara and her father were on their way home, was when he started showing who he really was. Shara was driving her dark purple/blue porche that her mother had bought for her before she died with her father right next to her in the passenger seat.

“I told you eight o’clock! You said you would be there on time, yet you were thirty minutes late!” he yelled, and then slapped her.

“Look I’m sorry ok! How many times do I have to say it? I was up late last night.”

“Doing what? Having sex no doubt! You’re just like your mother, always whoring herself!” he yelled before she got to finish.

“NO! That’s not what I was doing, I was drawing!” she yelled.

“Oh that’s right my screw up daughter has a thing for art,” he said sarcastically.

“UHG!.........” she said, frustrated.

When they got inside their home he pushed her into the bookcase they had in their living room, not noticing that Shara’s little brother was playing video games. When Moto heard his sister get slammed into the bookcase his head snapped up, and then he ran to his room knowing what would happen. Shara slammed against it wincing at the pain, “AH,” she cried. Her father walked over to her as she got up and slammed her back into the bookcase about ten times before he back handing her to the floor. Shara got back up and ran to her room locking the door.

Her father ran to her room and started pounding on the door, “Come on honey, I just want to talk,” he said in a semi sincere tone. She grabbed a small knife from her closet wall and walked to the door.

“NO!” she shouted and jammed it through the door, piercing her father’s shoulder. He screamed in pain, then left. She pulled the knife out of the door and threw it back into her closet; she grabbed an army back pack and started filling it with some clothes and other things, then walked to her window and jumped out. She walked to Marina’s house, Hiei following. She asked her friend if she could stay until she could go to the bank and get some money; her friend’s mother was more than happy to let her stay. When she got up to Marina’s room her friend asked what happened.

“My father, that’s what,” Shara said coldly. Marina’s eyes widened.

“Are you serious? He did all this to you?” she asked looking at her friend’s torn up back.

“Yeah he did,” was all she could say. After patching up her friend’s back Marina and Shara stayed up all night talking and laughing. That night Hiei came into the room and stared at Shara. He gently turned her on her stomach, lifted up her shirt and removed some of the bandages. What he saw amazed him, her marks and cuts her slowly disappearing. ‘How could a normal human do this?’ he asked himself. He felt her move so he put the bandages back on and jumped out the window. Shara sat up with a start having dreamed someone was touching her, ‘It felt so real,’ she said to herself then went back to sleep. The next afternoon Shara woke up to Marina screaming in her ear.

“AAAAAHHHHHH! What the hell was that for?” she asked breathlessly.

“Well I had to wake you up somehow,” Marina said with an innocent smile on her face.

Shara looked at her with a dull, loathing look, “Uh huh,” she said.

“Come on get up. Lunch is on the table,” she said as she walked out so Shara could get dressed. When she came down she saw Marina’s mother in the kitchen cleaning it, her father sitting in front of the TV watching a game, and her brother and sister playing some type of game. Shara was wearing an army print skirt that was really small and sat on her upper thigh, a Led Zeppelin shirt, a pair of ankle bots, dark make-up, and her hair was in two pig tails. Shara sat down at the table and saw a sandwich waiting for her to eat it. She attacked the sandwich then laughed when she saw the looks Marina and her mother were giving her.

“Well I should get going,” Shara said pushing the chair out and getting up.

“Ok, well you know you’re welcome here anytime,” said her friend’s mother with a smile.

“Hmmm,” she said with a smile as she walked to the door. She said her good byes then left to go to the bank. As she walked there she kept feeling that someone was watching her, so she kept turning around like she was paranoid. When she finally got the bank she cleared out everything her mother was saving for her in her trust fund. She then headed to the courthouse to get an emancipation order from the court. When she got that she walked to a store to buy something to drink because she was thirsty. After taking her little break she walked to her house to get her car, after getting her car she drove to a real estate place to find an apartment. When she found one she liked she paid the man on the spot for it, then called for some movers to get her stuff back at her father’s house.

She walked to her father’s house (the reason she walked was because she didn’t want him to see her). When she got there he was leaving, this confused her. When he left she walked inside she asked her brother why he was leaving and he said he was going on a business trip. Shara called the movers to come over and get her stuff.

“Why are movers coming to get your stuff?” her little brother asked.

“Because Moo, I’m leaving for good,” she sighed using the nickname she gave her little brother.

“What?” he said looking really sad.

“I’m sorry buddy,” she said rubbing his head. After about an hour of packing everything up the movers were ready to go.

“Uh ma’am do you want us to give you a ride?” one of the movers asked.

“No thank you, I’ll walk. Umm, my door’s unlocked so you can just put everything in the living room ok, thanks,” she said, with her saying that, they left. She watched as they drove off. Suddenly, getting the feeling she was being watched again, she whipped her head around but found no one. She shrugged and started walking; Hiei was about to follow when Botan appeared right in front of him, scaring him and making him fall out of the tree.

“Hi, Hiei!” Botan shouted in her cheery voice.

“What do you want woman?” he asked with a growl.

Botan sweat dropped, “Uh, we need you back at Yuske’s. You guys have another job.”

“Hn,” was all he said before disappearing.

Back at Yuske’s everyone was there waiting for Hiei and Botan. Hiei suddenly appeared right next to Kuwabara scaring him half to death.

“Hey shorty watch where you appear!” he yelled at the pint sized warrior.

“Hn,” was all Hiei said. Then Botan appeared shortly after Hiei.

“Hi, guys,” she said happily.

“Finally, I thought you would never get here Botan,” said Yuske in his usual annoyed tone.

“Well your new assignment is right here,” she said holding a manila folder. She threw it on the table so everyone could look at it.


“You have to find a girl by the name of Shara,” she said. Hiei’s eyes widened, he looked at the picture of her, and it really was her.

“Why her?” he asked mildly interested, which Kurama noted.

“Because she’s been showing signs of having immense spiritual power. Maybe even more so than Yuske,” Botan said. Everyone looked at her surprise written all over their faces.

“Everything you need to know about her is in that folder, so go find her,” said Botan before she left. The gang got up and left to go look for her, taking the file with them so they could read about her.

“Wow, I think this girl might just be smarter than Kurama,” said Yuske as he looked at him. Kurama chuckled, “She just might be.”

Spiritual Power: Unknown at the moment

“Well that’s it,” Yuske said closing the folder and taking the picture of her out of his pocket.

Shara was walking home when she heard something behind her; she turned around to see about ten demons standing there. Her eyes widened as she saw how ugly they were. Suddenly, the night when she saw the guy with the blood red eyes came flooding back. ‘These………uh things must have something to do with what happened to me,’ she said to herself. She backed up slowly, the demons following her.

“What are you?” she asked.

“Why we’re demons honey,” said one of them.

“What, are you joking? Demons aren’t real,” she said laughing slightly. One got in her face, “Ok, so maybe they are,” she said sheepishly. The leader of the demons advanced upon her, he touched her shoulder slowly moving it down. Shara looked at the hand and her eyes widened; she screamed and slapped him hard. The demon fell to the ground, the others looked at her angry that she knocked their leader to the ground. She backed up against a wall, ‘Oh great,’ she thought. Suddenly she heard some people behind the demons.

Yuske and the other three were searching for her but couldn’t seem to find her anywhere. Suddenly they heard a scream, followed by a slap. They raced to where they heard it and saw about ten demons crowded around a girl. They stood right behind the demons.

“Aw look at that guys, they’re not gonna leave any for us,” said Yuske.

The demons turned to see Yuske and the other guys standing side-by-side smirking. Shara looked from behind one of the demons and saw four guys, one with orange hair and black eyes, one with black hair and brown eyes, one with red hair and green eyes, and finally one with black hair and red eyes. ‘Wait red eyes,’ she looked back at the guy with red eyes. ‘It is him,’ she said to herself.

Hiei looked at the girl behind one of the demons, “Yuske behind the demon in front,” Hiei said. Yuske looked at Hiei then behind the first demon, “Yeah I see her. It’s the girl isn’t it?” Hiei nodded.

“K guys we’ve got to save that girl,” said Yuske.

The demons laughed, “I don’t think so. She’s ours,” said the demon leader.
The guys got hard looks on their faces.

Shara was watching the testosterone match with mild interest. She was growing tired of this, so she tapped the demon’s shoulder that was in front of her, when he turned around she punched him in the face. That’s when the fight started; when it was over the five of them were standing and the demons were on the ground.

“Wow that was a good fight. I didn’t know girls could fight like that, except Kuwabara’s sister,” Yuske joked which earned him a punch in the arm from Shara.

“OW what was that for?” he asked in pain.

“For being an idiot,” she said in a dull tone, while both were shooting daggers at each other.

“Ok, lets just get her to Genkai’s (sp, I forgot) before this escalates,” Kurama said.

“Who’s Genkai?” Shara asked.
