Chapter 1; The New Girl
Disclaimer: The only thing I own is- The Girl! I own the Redhead chick in this story. But that's all :sighs:
For once Yusuke had came to school. Or more to the point, Keiko had
threatened him within an inch of his life. He sat in the back of the class
next to Kuwabara who was drawing hearts and cats around an elegantly
written 'Yukina' on his notebook. The door swung open and in stepped
Takenawa. "You have a new student," said the old principal to Mr. Iwamoto.
Yusuke perked up a bit,' A new face to pummel, alright!' he thought to
himself. "Miss Thompson if you would, please come in," said Takenawa.
'Miss?!' Yusuke slumped back down, his only entertainment for the day gone
out the window.
The girl who stepped in smiled halfway at the teacher who smiled
back. "She's an exchange student from America, so be nice," Takenawa said
shooting a glance to the back of the room where his favorite delinquent sat
with his feet propped up on his desk. Yusuke rolled his eyes and looked
back to study the girl. She had long red hair, nearly down to her waist.
Her eyes were an bluish-greenish color which were lined with thick
eyelashes. 'If Kurama were born a girl I bet that's what he'd look like, or
he might look the same as he does now' thought Yusuke. The girl was
directed to the only availible seat in the room which was in the back by
Kuwabara.
Just about to nod off, Yusuke felt something prod him in the side.
"What Kuwabara?", hissed Yusuke, mad about being disturbed. "Urameshi, this
chick has some major demonic energy coming off her," replied Kuwabara
motioning towards the new girl,"not bad looking either," he added. Yusuke
looked at the girl and shrugged ,"So?', asked Yusuke putting his hands
behind his head ready to go back to sleep. A small short buzz filled the
room interupting the lesson. "Urameshi, there are no cell phones in
school," said Iwamoto walking up to his desk. "Damn," growled Yusuke
looking down at the small communicator Botan had given him.
"Urameshi! Outside! Now!," yelled Iwamoto. Yusuke got up ," Important
business, thank you for excusing me and Kuwabara," said Yusuke with a
smile. Kuwabara got up and they ran from the room with Iwamoto yelling
angrily behind them. Outside they found Botan pacing from one side of the
gate to the other muttering to herself. "So what is this big emergency?",
asked Yusuke casually walking up. "IT'S AWFUL YUSUKE! IT'S GONE! GONE FROM
THE VAULT!!", cried Botan shaking Yusuke by the collar of his uniform.
"Whoa, calm down and explain what happened," he replied pushing Botan away.
"The necklace! The Kirei Stone necklace was stolen from King Enma's vault
last night!", she said. "A little more detail please?"
"The Kirei Stone was probably the most powerful stone ever created in
the three worlds. The power within it is great enough to overthrow King
Enma himself if anyone who knows how to use it can get at it. That's why
it's been heavily guarded ever since it was nearly stolen by Youko. You
have to get it back! The demon who has it doesn't know how to use it yet
but he's a fast learner!"
"That's all the explanation I get on it?"
"JUST GO FIND IT! NOW!"
"Alright, alright, I'm going I'm going. Is it scream at Urameshi day
because I think my memo was lost in the mail," grumbled Yusuke as he and
Kuwabara made their way to Makai. At first arriving, many skulls were
cracked before Yusuke and Kuwabara made it to the demon camp of Taihen. "So
what's the plan?" asked Kuwabara looking at the horde of demons that
meandered around the clearing below. "Answer me this, do we ever have a
plan?", asked Yusuke, "You have a point." Kuwabara created his energy sword
and away they sprang into midst of the demons.
The battle lasted a very short time, seeing that Yusuke was already
irked to begin with. They found a large structure high in a tree that
seemed to be made of bones. The surroudings gave a foul odor that became
stronger the closer they came to it. After thrashing the guards at the gate
they made their descent into the bone mansion a quick one. "We're getting
close Urameshi, I can sense him!", said Kuwabara as they ran up the winding
stairs. Yusuke smirked and replied," Tell me he might be able to give me a
little challenge." Soon they came to a large wooden door with skull
handles. The loud crash of the door hitting the ground rang throughout the
forest around them. In the center of the room on a stone throne sat a man.
His long violet hair hung down to his shoulders and his blood red eyes
opened a moment to look at the two who had entered.
He wore clothes similar to Hiei's and held a wine glass in his right
hand. "You are the two who passed my guards and broke into my abode?" he
asked in an icy tone. "Yup, that would be us," replied Yusuke with a smirk.
Arching an eyebrow the demon stood up and set down his glass. "You are that
nuisance spirit detective Yusuke Urameshi," he said, "Last time I looked in
the mirror I was," replied Urameshi rather cockily. "My reputation will
grow greater than ever if I rid you of the demons," said the demon. "Hate
to burst your bubble but the day a demon gets the better of me will be the
day Kuwabara looks attractive!","That's right! Wait a minute Urameshi, what
are you trying to say?","Just go back to sleep Kuwabara." The demon watched
the two bicker for a moment," You aren't really the spirit detective, I saw
you as more intimidating." Yusuke turned and looked at the demon through
menancing eyes.
"You're Taihen, right?" he asked. "Why do you need to know?"
responded the demon. "Oh, I just needed to know what to put on your
tombstone, If There's Any Remains!!" Yusuke and Kuwabara jumped together at
the demon Taihen. Dodging the boys Taihen reappeared behind them and with
one slight touch to Kuwabara's shoulder sent him reeling back into the
wall. Yusuke had his hand held ready to perform his signature attack but
Taihen was quicker. Grabbing Yusuke's hand he began squeeze it tightly.
"You're more bark than bite," said Taihen with a smirk. Yusuke felt
something in his hand crackd and a shock of pain shoot through his arm.
Kuwabara had his spirit sword and was running towards the demon and spirit
detective.
Again Taihen sent Kuwabara reeling but he had served his purpose for
the time being. Distracting Taihen had given Yusuke time to send a left
hook into the gut of Taihen while he was off guard. Releasing him the demon
stepped back a few steps," Not bad, for a ningen," he smirked. "Cocky
bastard," said Yusuke under his breath. "Tell me boys, why are you here?",
he asked. " We're here to take back the Kirei stone," said
Kuwabara,"Boredom," said Yusuke. Before Taihen could say anything Yusuke
saw the body ripped in two. The torso slide away from legs and both pieces
fell to the floor. "GROSS!", screamed Kuwabara and Yusuke just stared.
Looking up he saw the killer sat cross legged on a ledge on the wall. "Who
are you?" he asked the person. Apparently it was female, the figure being
too feminine to be male.
Her clothes were that of a ninjas, black sortly tight pants and a
looser shirt. A mask covered her entire face She said nothing but quicker
than either could follow she jumped from the ledge and was standing next to
the chair that Taihen had occupied not long before. After rummaging around
the chiar muttering she found what she wanted. A small box about the size
of her hand sat on the right side of the chair. It looked like it was made
from ebony. Silver phoenixes danced acrossed it entertwining with the gold
roses carved on its lid. Opening it she took out a small black stone on a
sliver chain. On the stone's smooth surface the kanji for Yume (a/n: Dream)
was engraved in silver. Tucking the necklace in her shirt she leapt to the
edge of the window and turned to face the spirit detectives.
With a mock salute she turned back to the window to jump but yelling
directed towards her caught her attention. "Who the heck do you think you
are? Just waltzing in here and taking our necklace?" shouted Yusuke. "I'm
no one of importance, at least to you. And this stone, is mine," she said
calmly. While Yusuke continued his yelling at the woman, Kuwabara studied
her. Something about her was familiar but he needed to see her face.
Summoning his rei sword he sprang at her landing a clear cut across her
face.
Her mask fell away in two pieces revealing a pair of sliver fox ears,
emerald eyes, and letting long silver hair fall down her back to her hips.
The surprise from Kuwabara's attack caused her to lose her footing and slip
out the window. When Yusuke and Kuwabara ran to see if she was okay after
she hit the ground, they found she had disappeared. Defeated they made
their way to Genkai's temple looking for Botan. Having to walk through the
city first random people were targets for Yusuke's anger. Walking through
the park in silence they saw the new girl sitting by the lotus pond.
Kuwabara stared at her with a confused look on his face. "Yo, Urameshi, I
know that chick's energy from somewhere." Yusuke looked at Kuwabara with a
dumbstruck look on his face. "Boy Kuwabara, I knew you were slow but I
didn't know you were that slow..." "No I mean I've felt it somewhere else
outside of school, I'm sure of it!" "Right..." They continued on the path
that went by the pond and she stood up and gathered her things. Yusuke
and Kuwabara were just about to walk past her when she turned and crashed
straight into Yusuke. He tried to catch her but she reeled backwards and
fell on the ground. "Sorry about that, what was your name again?" he held
his hand down for her to take. "Rose, my name's Rose," she took his hand
and with his help stood up. Brushing the dirt off of her skirt she began to
pick up her strown books and papers. Kuwabara helped her, still trying to
figure out where he'd felt her energy before. Sitting on his knees and
holding a thin notebook he looked at her.
The sunlight struck something that hung around her neck, the bright
flash catching his eye. He saw she wore a silver chain with something on
the end, he didn't know what it was seeing that the pendant part was in her
shirt. "Can I see that?" asked Kuwabara, pointing to her necklace.
"Kuwabara we don't have time for jewelry shopping we got to go," said
Yusuke in an irratated voice. Rose nodded and reached behind her neck to
unclasp it. She pulled it from her shirt and handed it to Kuwabara. The
black stone shimmered violently in the sunlight and so the silver dream
kanji. Yusuke arched his eyebrow and looked from Rose to the necklace and
then at Kuwabara who stared back just as an odd look on his face.
"Where did you get this necklace?" asked Yusuke staring at Rose now.
"I'm not rightly sure..." she replied before Yusuke grabbed her forearm.
"You're coming with us to see Koenma," he said as he began pulling her
along after him. Kuwabara trailed behind them, "Urameshi I'm not sure even
Koenma would justify kidnapping..." Yusuke ignored him and kept going, not
noticing that Rose was trying to struggle against him. They walked to
Genkai's temple in silence, Yusuke released Rose's arm, confident that she
wouldn't try running away.
They made it to the large temple to find that no one was there, not
even Yukina. Yusuke swore at their luck and opened the door walked in,
followed by Kuwabara. "You can come in, Genkai won't mind," said the orange
haired boy. Rose followed after them and sat on a couch across from the one
Yusuke had stretched out on. Kuwabara sat beside her studying her intently,
debating on if she was the same as the female demon they had met earlier.
Yusuke spun the necklace around on his pointer finger by the chain and
Kuwabara began playing with some string he had found and Rose began to nod
off.
Outside two more of the group, the demons, walked up the hill. They
said nothing until they were close to the temple, Kurama had stopped in his
tracks and stared at the sliding door to the living room. Hiei had walked
on ahead but turned to look at Kurama when he saw a strange mist forming in
the trees. When it cleared he saw that Kurama had become Youko and was
growling lowly.
Kurama's
POV
Hiei had wanted to visit Yukina and wanted me to come with him. I
agreed having nothing better to do at the time. The conversation was pretty
much one sided as usually but I didn't mind, I was enjoying the peace of
forest. We lacked about twenty feet from being at the door when I sensed
someone I hadn't seen in several centuries. Quite without meaning to I
transformed into Youko. My old partner, the seductress witch Kuroyuri who
had betrayed me sat in the living room of the temple with Yusuke and
Kuwabara. The baka ningens not even realizing that she was demon. Feeling
her energy brought back memories that rose my rage and hatred towards her.
End Kurams's
POV
Hiei watched as Youko leapt towards the temple and crashed through
the wall. All three occupants jumped up when the kitsune crashed through
the walls. His emerald eyes bore into Rose's as she stood there, just as
calmly as she had before. She met his gaze with her own through slited
eyes. "You..." said Youko rather softly. He sped across the room and dove
at Rose, his arm outstretched and his hand gripping her throat. Again he
crashed through the wall of the temple, Rose in front of him still in his
grasp. He slammed her into the ground causing dust and dirt to fly from the
hole that had been created on impact.
"Kurama! What are you doing?!" shouted Yusuke as he, Kuwabara, and
Hiei watched only seeing the cloud of dust and two figures. As the dust
began to settle they saw Youko still clutched her by her throat but when
the dust settled entirely they didn't see the body of the redheaded girl
who should have been dead, but a woman with long silver hair that fanned
around her headon the ground. On her head were two fox ears and on her
face a smirk. It was the same woman who had stolen the Kirei Stone from
Yusuke and Kuwabara. Placing a clawed hand over Youko's she spoke in a soft
and close to a sexy voice, "Hello Youko darling, did you miss me?"
Nobara: I hope you like this, the characters may seem a bit out of character sometimes but deal with it I'm trying.
Inuyasha: Geez, don't gripe at the readers just because you're failing Algebra...
Nobara: Bite me dog boy, go home!
Inuyasha: You're letting me go?
Nobara: I guess, at least until I figure out what to do with my first story.
Inuyasha:runs from studio singing: I'M FREE! I'M FREE! I'M FREE!
Nobara:claming down: Okay sorry about earlier but if you have any ideas on my first story if you've read it I would greatly appreciate it if you would send them to me. Arigato, bye!
