How Could I Forget You?

Disclaimer: There once was a time that I really owned Yu Yu Hakusho. Sadly that was only in a dream. But this is now and I do not own it.

A/n: This is my first Yu Yu Hakusho fanfic so I hope you like it. I actually wrote this for a school project. Anyway, R&R pwease! Enjoy!

Chapter 1: In the Rain

The petite figure was barley visible in the drenching rain. The air was cold and the sky was dark. As the rain poured down from the endless horizon above it blurred the vision of one's eyes.

The figure was walking, just walking. It appeared as if it hadn't a care or a purpose. It held no umbrella to stop the wet drops. Its clothes were soaked deep and through to every fiber and stitch. Still they did not seem to care.

Puddles were stepped into rather then around. Mud caked the figure's pitch black sneakers. Staying clean and dry was apparently not on their agenda.

In the nightly shadows another figure was watching. His eyes showed no sign of a deep hunger. Instead the eyes glistened with a sense of concern. He was not hunting his prey and tactfully stalking it, but he was protecting his own. For night held unspeakable evil.

As if brought on by his own thoughts, a shadow moved from its rest. Along the ground, it went. It slowly, cautiously slinked towards the figure. Now this was out for the hunt and the kill.

His muscles tightened. His heart raced. Slowly, with as little movement as possible, he drew his sword from its leather sheath. He waited until the precise moment.

There.

As quick as lightning striking in a storm, he attacked the hungry shadow as it leaped to ensnare its prey.

The figure turned to face where the shadow lurked. It had felt that unseen eyes were glaring at its rain soaked back with a hunger that had no bottom.

To the figure, all that could be seen was the faintest glimmer of shining metal. His sword glowed for just a fraction of a second in the figure's eyes.

Then he was gone again, into the concealing shadows from whence he came. The figure in the light of the ghostly moon, continued its amble stroll. It was safe for another night.

In the shadows, he sheathed his drawn sword and left in a blur that was undetectable to the untrained eyes. His job was down for the now ending night. Still, tomorrow brought upon new threats. He would be ready though.

A/n: Yay! The first chapter is done. It's really short though. I promise to make the next one longer. I just seem to make short 1st chapters. Oh well. Okay so, R&R! Thanks!
