S.P.: Another day, another fic. This is to be my first serious fic. But it sounds ironic for I may have to put skits of humor, haha.

Chapter 1: Prologue

(Mirae's POV)

. . . .

I always felt like an outsider.

An outsider . . . .

I was an outsider at school . . . Girls envying me wherever I go all because the boys are always being attracted to me, human and demon alike. Though I do not call myself beautiful, it doesn't matter, does it? Huh, I hate it when the girls always call me a slut or what not all because of my beauty. Especially the fan girls who worship my brothers or cousins all because of their good looks. They shouldn't judge me or them like that.

Even at home, it was still difficult at times for that I always felt like an outsider there as well. Well, as ironic as it sounds, I wasn't that lonely. And I thought Hiei was the anti-social one.

But then again, I do judge the crafty youkai a bit quickly.

The Reikai Tantei are my family now. Aside from my real relationships to Kurama, Touya, ShiShiWakumaru, Earu and Suzaku as brothers and Jin, Yusuke and Squall . . . We're all like a big family now, are we?

But I always felt left out, even with them around.

But something changed all of that.

A horrifying truth . . . A really horrifying truth that's even got me scared . . . I do not know why, but now, I feel scared . . .

Very scared.

Why should I be afraid? I know I had my youko and my "human" families . . . And this whole confusing heritages. . .

Forbidden.

That was my past were. What all the horrifying things crawling within them.

Forbidden.

Something that they should learn. We all know that we had rough pasts. Hell, Hiei had difficulty in life, what with being called the "Forbidden Child" on his own land. At least Yukina, his long lost twin, knew all along whom her brother was and she accepted him the way he was.

Forbidden.

My Yamis had their pasts and I had mine, too. We all run away from the past and we do not want to relive it again.

Unfortunately, I did, AGAIN.

And that was when the horrifying truth came to me.

I blink my now golden brown eyes as I write this. This was one of it. I had his eyes. The one who was dead, supposedly, in the Dark Tournament . . . I had his eyes. My eyes were never like this . . . They were originally gold, as they were in my "human" heritage and electric blue in my youko form and were grey blue, so much like a storm, with my wolf demon form and white eyes of the Forbidden Angel.

But these eyes, these golden brown eyes, they disturb me.

I also had her looks. Which is why youkais make rumors I am her granddaughter or possibly daughter due to her looks.

Such imbeciles.

I do not have her hair color. I have my own, dark blue. But they say I look a lot like her when I pull my hair back to that braid. . . But then again, other coincidences happen to me as well. I also had his strength . . . And I also, surprisingly, had her technique. Hell, it was surprising enough that I had all these bloodlines and powers just like my brother and cousins . . .

But me, having her technique?

That was a shock.

Even Yusuke wouldn't believe I was able to master a technique such as this. I wasn't even her pupil for fighting . . .

I haven't told the Reikai Tantei and ShiShi and Touya and Jin about this . . .

YET.

I can't tell them, not yet . . .

But should I tell anyone else?

You'll find out the horrifying truth I discovered after all the trouble I went through.

Are they really my, perhaps our, real parents . . .?

We'll see.

And I know you're dying to find out . . .

You'll find out soon enough . . .

S.P.: O_O!!! KAMI-SAMA! I WROTE THAT!? I think this would be good, interesting story. . . .

ShiShiWakumaru: What is she hiding from us!?

Touya: YEAH!

S.P.: I am not telling! PLEASE R & R!!! AND AQUARIKA, DO NOT SAY ANYTHING!
