Houki no Majo!
Chapter 1

"Are you sure that Reikai won't send detectives?" Asked a woman. Worry was etched onto her face, taking away from its beauty. She was young - maybe thirty or so. She wore a hooded cloak of black, and her reddish-brown hair fell to her shoulder blades. Her tired green eyes showed that she had probably seen something that she never wanted to, and gave her an almost pathetic look.
"You have my promise. Besides, they cannot enter the coven without a member - just tell everyone that Reikai is trying to hunt witches. Tell them at the next meeting." Said the second woman. She wore the same cloak, but her hood hid her face.
"Fine… I will."
The first woman rose, and left the room, leaving the second one to smirk evilly under her hood.

It was a warm and bright day in the city, and everyone was out enjoying the fresh air. Spring had finally arrived, and the people were free to shed their coats and soak up the irresistible rays of the sun.
On a bustling street below, there was a girl making her way through the crowd. She looked like the average teen, just a bit shorter. She was petite, yet filled out for someone of her stature. Quite pretty, actually. She had straight, auburn hair that was parted down the middle, and reached an inch past her shoulders. Her eyes were forest green, and they took in her surroundings as she walked.
Her clothes were a bit strange for that part of town. She wore all black - an off the shoulder tank top that clung to her frame, and a miniskirt. She also had knee-high boots with thick soles to give her the illusion of being slightly taller.
Trailing along behind her was a small, curious-looking black cat. It had glowing golden eyes, which seemed to narrow at any who gave the girl an odd look.
She made her way down that street, before turning onto the next one. Unlike some of the other people around her, there was a purpose for her excursion.
She had come from out of town - way out of town - to visit an old friend. She figured that at the pace she was going, she'd reach her friend's school right when it let out. Of course, her friend wasn't expecting her, but it brought a grin to her pretty face when she thought of how happy her friend would be to see her.
She saw the school at he end of the road, and picked up the pace a little. She grinned back at the cat.
"She'll be so happy to see us, huh, Ro?"
The cat mewed its agreement, which made the girl's grin widen.
"That's right! Last time she saw you, you were just a little kitten! She'll be so impressed when she sees you!"
The cat seemed to puff out its chest proudly, and the girl giggled.
She skipped ahead, and stopped before the massive school. She glanced over at the sign on the gate to make sure that she was in the right place. In thick black lettering was the name, Sarasaki High School.
The bell rang, releasing the students from their duties of class, and the girl leaned against the wall, searching for signs of her friend amongst the crowd of students pouring out of the school.
"Do you see her, Ro?" She asked, getting onto her tiptoes and looking through the crowd. She didn't seem to notice the stares she was receiving from the student body that was going by her.
The cat mewed again, and ran off. She ran after him, and stopped when she saw that he had run over to her friend.
She was talking with two other boys, and had her back to her. The girl grinned, and walked up behind her.
"Wow, Kei-chan, two boyfriends?" She said teasingly.
Yukimura Keiko spun to face her, surprise evident on her face. The two other boys looked confused, but neither said anything.
"Kitty!" She exclaimed, hugging the auburn-haired girl.
The girl called Kitty laughed, and hugged her back. "Long time no see, eh, Keiko-chan?"
"Your Japanese has improved so much!" Keiko said, pulling away.
"Thanks! I've been practicing!"
The black cat pawed at Keiko, and she looked down. "Ro-chan, is that you?"
Kitty giggled again. "Ro has really missed you, Keiko! He's been so anxious to see you."
Keiko kneeled down beside the cat, and he rubbed against her hand when she pet his head. She smiled.
"You've gotten big, Ro!" She said.
The first boy - a boy with slicked-back black hair, chocolate brown eyes, and a green uniform - spoke up.
"Keiko, who's this?"
"Yeah, you going to introduce us?" The second boy asked. He was tall, with orange hair and brown eyes. He wasn't very handsome - mostly because of his high cheekbones.
Keiko blushed. "Sorry!"
She gestured to Kitty. "This is Kitty, a friend of mine. And Kitty, this is Urameshi Yusuke and Kuwabara Kazuma."
The cat mewed, and Keiko laughed.
"And this is Ro."
"Ro?" Yusuke repeated.
"It's short for Roan." Kitty said.
"Kitty and Roan…shouldn't you two switch names?" Kuwabara said jokingly.
Kitty glared. "Take it up with my mom."
"Um, Keiko? Kuwabara and me need to go meet up with Hiei and, er, Shuichi." Yusuke said, pointing with his thumb towards another school that was off in the distance.
"Eh? Oh, okay, Yusuke." She said. She didn't seem to care too much, because her friend was there.
Kuwabara and Yusuke left, and Keiko smiled.
"Let's catch up at my house."
~*~
"So, how was your flight?" Keiko asked, pouring some tea for the auburn-haired girl and herself.
"Well, we ran into a storm on the way here, but it wasn't too bad." Kitty replied.
Ro, who was sitting beside her, made a noise in the back of his throat that sounded like a snort. "Ha. 'Nothing too bad' she says. We both nearly got flung off of her broom."
Keiko giggled. "Poor Ro! But at least you both got here safely."
"Ro was pretty mad at me." Kitty said.
"How's your training coming along, by the way?" Keiko asked.
"Pretty well. Being a witch is hard, but I've got lots of wonderful teachers. And a great familiar." She replied, rubbing Ro behind the ears.
"What are you going to specialize in?"
"I'm not entirely sure. My mother is great at potions, and that's going to be her legacy to me. But I personally prefer using spells. Like offensive spells and such, though it won't be very helpful. And my sister is teaching me a few jinxes."
"Sounds like you're going to be a black witch." Keiko said. "Shouldn't you try some healing spells?"
"Nah. They're too boring, long, and they make you older every time you use them." Kitty said, shaking her head. "Though I suppose that I could learn to use a divining crystal."
"That would be cool! Then you could read my fortune." Keiko said, grinning.
Kitty smirked. "So, is Yusuke your boyfriend?"
"Wh-what?! N-no!" Keiko exclaimed, blushing furiously.
Kitty laughed. "Sure he isn't!"
Keiko glared. "Anyways, how long are you going to be in Japan for?"
"My training will keep me here for a whole year. But I need to find a place to stay." She said.
"Oh! You can stay here!" Keiko said, smiling. "It wouldn't be any trouble."
"Really?" Kitty asked, looking quite excited.
"Yes, really."
"Thank you so much, Keiko-chan!" The witch exclaimed, hugging the other girl.
Keiko just laughed. "Any time, Kitty-chan."
Kitty let go of her, and smiled. "It'll be just like old times."
Ro sighed. "It's times like these that I wish I were a normal cat."
Kitty ruffled his hair, earning a glare from her familiar.
"Relax, Ro! It'll be fun! And there isn't anything that could possibly go wrong with staying with Keiko-chan!"
Little did she know, that the fate of the world was being determined right as she spoke.

Author's Notes : Yay! That's the start of it! Should I continue? It'll get even more interesting - and even more funny - later on.
In your opinion, who would you rather see Kitty end up with - Hiei or Kurama? (Just so you know, she's about Hiei's height). Majority will win!
