Chapter One

*I do NOT own Yu Yu Hakusho or Sailor Moon. I do own Sailor E'Lion.

*This is my first solid fanfiction so be nice and please review.

*“Talking”
‘Thinking’
Sailor E'Lion walked through the tiny village and took a deep breath. It truly was a
beautiful day and it was making her sick, she couldn't stand nice weather. She took another
deep breath and went to buy the herb she was looking for. She found the herbs at the house
of a poor family who lived at the mercy of their lord who took most of their crops for
himself. Knowing this Sailor E'Lion discreetly passed them extra gold. Now having the
herbs that would heal the sick creatures of E'Lion Empire, which was being plagued by a
ravishing disease, Sailor E'Lion began to leave when an unexpected scream broke out and
suddenly the village was being attacked by hoards of youkai thieves.

“Just perfect,” she said aloud. “So much for a short and easy mission.”

The demons were quickly surrounding the village cutting off all escape routes.
‘Damn,’ she thought. ‘Now there is no one way to get out without killing someone.’

Then there was a sudden silence. Out of the shadows stepped a handsome man with
silver hair and golden eyes. He had a fox's ears and tail.

‘He must be a youko,’ Sailor E'Lion thought.

* * * *

Youko sneered at the villagers from the shadows. How dare they look content while he was
miserable. He would make them pay. Oh, would he make them pay.

Giving the order as he stared patiently, like an avenging angel giving judgment,
he heard the screams ring out as blood was spilled. After half the youkai in the village
had been slaughtered by his youkai he stepped out of the shadows.

He stood watching the youkai from the village tremble, wordlessly begging him to
spare their lives. ‘Spare them’ he thought with contempt. ‘Why should I spare lives that
I have no use for.’ He signaled to his band of thieves to move in and kill.

One of the elder youkai of the village saw this and spoke out. “Please spare us, we
will give you anything, just please spare our lives.”

“What do you have among you that I haven't already stolen,” he sneered.

“Our women, Great Sir,” said another elder, too worried about his own life to worry
about the innocent women. “They are great beauties and can please you well.”

Youko smiled at this. The women were beautiful but... “What makes you think that I
can't kill you all and just take the women?”

The villagers had nothing to say.

Youko smirked and was about to signal his men when a noise caught his ears. It was
faint, but he still caught the sound of a disinterested yawn. His face darkened in anger.
How dare anyone of them act like this when he was about to have them all destroyed by his
men. He would kill the insolent fool who dared yawn when he was about to kill all of the
villagers, even if it was one of his own men.

Youko took a quick scan through the village and saw a suspicious looking character
in a hooded cloak. He walked with a deadly swagger over to the figure and stopped.
“Are you the one who yawned?” he asked, just a little too nicely. The hood bobbed up and
down, a reply he was sure meant yes. “Why may I ask, did you feel the need to yawn?”

The figure reached up and pulled back its hood, to reveal a women with wavy brown
hair streaked with gold. Her irises were mint, her pupils silver. She was tall and slim
with beautiful curves. She was gorgeous. “Because,” the women answered, “I'm bored”

* * * *

Sailor E’Lion put her hood up as the slaughter began, knowing that she was to be under cover.
She watched as the people huddled together in fear. ‘Idiots,’ she thought. ‘Being afraid
of these wimps; how pathetic!’

The youko looked at the villagers with pure loathing in his eyes. Then the village
elder told the thief to take the women and to spare the mens lives.

It was almost enough to make her growl. Almost. Instead she let a long yawn. She
watched as the youko stalked over to her with a stare that promised death. He then asked if
she was the one who yawned. She nodded and he asked why. She answered truthfully that she
was bored.

She smirked at the Youko's enraged expression. She tried her best not to laugh,
but she failed miserably. She let out a loud guffaw.

* * * *

Youko Kurama heard her laughter and glared. ‘How dare this wretch laugh, he thought. ‘I
will enjoy killing her.’

“Who are you, bitch, Youko sneered.

* * * *

Now it was Sailor E’Lion’s turn to give a murderous glare. How dare this worthless yuokai
call her a bitch.

“I’m sorry sir,” she said sweetly, “but bitch means that I’m a canine. Too bad I’m
a feline and that makes me a queen.” Then she smiled at his anger adding insult to injury.

“How dare you,” the youkai next to him spat. “You are talking to the greatest thief
in all of Makai, Youko Kurama.”

Sailor E'Lion turned to the other youkai. Her eyes seemed to glow. The youkai
gasped and started clawing at his chest. Suddenly his heart exploded out of his chest and
hit Youko Kurama in the face.

“Grab her,” Youko yelled

The gang of demons began to surround her. Before they could completely cut off her
escape, she vanished.

* * * *

Youko Kurama took a deep breath catching the woman’s sent. She was fast but he was just as
fast, if not faster. He would just have to follow her and discover who she was. He would
not fail to find out.

Giving orders to his band of youkai thieves to kill the villagers and then return
to the hideout; he left to follow the mystery woman.
