Spiritual Detective School Blues

Weeeeeeheeeeeeeeeee! I am back!
Oh and btw: I own all my Original Characters (i.e. Angelica/Yukira Rochieken). So I'll be using her again here… I am obviously a lazy writer. I even feel lazy just making up a new character. Oh well.
Summary: Coming back from Makai, Yusuke now needs to decide about something he never really thought about: entering High School. But… there's one problem… almost half of the student body has Rei Ki strong enough to kill a monster.
Chapter 1
First Day Funk
"Yusuke… are you ready?" Keiko asked as she saw Yusuke stiffen. He was about to go into a whole new school with people not knowing who he was during their Junior High days, and Keiko isn't studying here either.
"Er… why do I have to go to High School, again?" Yusuke asked.
"… just go in." Keiko glared at him. "I'll be seeing you later here!" Keiko smiled as she ran towards her school – an all girls' school.
Yusuke grunted. "What am I even doing here?"
And he walked in his new school, even if his head was completely ordering him to skip school and tell Keiko later that he has no intentions of studying, because there was something in this school, Yusuke thought.
"Good morning class." Mr. Hanagiba, Yusuke's new homeroom teacher greeted his homeroom class. "Before we proceed to our lesson, I would like you all to welcome a new student."
As he said this, everyone started murmuring. What would the new guy look like? Is he a she or a he? And so on…
"His name is Yusuke Urameshi." By this, some of the male students sighed with disappointment. Perhaps they got their hopes a little high on the account of having a new female classmate that would totally rock the pants of them.
"Hey." Yusuke said dryly.
"You'd be sitting over there." Mr. Hanagiba pointed to the seat next to a girl with wavy, blonde hair that was tied into two pigtails. "Next to Ms. Rochieken."
"No way!" A boy gasped.
"Yes way, Kurane." Mr. Hangiba smiled. "Don't worry, they only react like the because she's sort of a campus crush here, but she's also the class president." He whispered to Yusuke, who was showing all visible signs of confusion.
The campus crush, huh. Yusuke slowly walked towards the seat he was assigned to. It was a perfect place for people who dose of easily into dreamland. His seat was situated near the window, although Rochieken was seating to seat exactly next to the window, you still could catch a glimpse of the buildings next to this school.
"Hey." The girl greeted her. "While we're at it, do not mind those jerks there, or you might be one."
"Sure. I'll try to remember that." Yusuke did not know how to respond, exactly. She was smiling, but she sounded so sarcastic… even more sarcastic than Hiei.
"You better. By the way, feel free to call me by first name- Angelica. I really don't like the Japanese way of calling people by their surnames." She smiled once more, only this time it was more sincere and there wasn't any sarcasm on her voice.
"Er… sure. Urameshi. I'm Yusuke Urameshi." Yusuke introduced himself. It was quite awkward, considering the fact that he really does not mingle with the female species, and that he also has been hanging out with Makai monsters for almost 2 years. But then again, it won't be bad to earn a friend… even if it's the school's most popular girl.
Hmm… but it would be even better if I decide to listen to this class. Maybe that'll stop Keiko from nagging so much.
"Oy Urameshi!" Kurane, the guy earlier who couldn't believe that Yusuke was seating next to Rochieken, called Yusuke to come over to where his posse and him were hanging out- near the door of their classroom. "Come here!"
"What do you want?" Yusuke asked, bored. Just what he wanted, boys who think he is hitting on Rochieken. If they only knew that I rather die than do that… Yusuke sighed.
"Want to hang out later, after school?" He asked.
"I really would love to, but I'm being kept on a leash by my mother through Keiko." Yusuke said. Of course, he could just go AWOL when Keiko comes by to pick him up, but something in him is saying that he'd rather not.
"Oh… your girlfriend is keeping you busy, huh." Kurane laughed. "Come on now, you could always tell her you're with your friends."
"He's not even your friend, Kurane." A slightly high-pitched voice grunted. "Now… leave him alone."
"Hey Rochieken!" Kurane said, even though he was blushing so hard that he was as red as a tomato, smoothly. "Didn't you hear… he's taken? Why not go out with me?" He added, wrapping his right arm around her slim waist.
"Get. Your. Filthy. Paws. Off. Of. Me!" Angelica said coldly as she kicked Kurane's right leg.
"That's gotta hurt." Yusuke said, as he saw Kurane jerk away from them because of the pain on his right leg. "That's some kick you have there."
"Seriously Urameshi, don't even try to stand Keiko up. She happens to be a good friend of mine, you know." Angelica said, "oh… there's going to be an assembly today, and you happen to be the last person on this class who doesn't know."
"I see. Where is it?" Yusuke asked.
"The Auditorium." Angelica answered. "Don't worry, you'll find it. Just go with the flow."
"er… sure." Yusuke said. Just smile and nod, he thought.
Just smile… and nod.
"Students!" Yusuke's new principal, Ms. Midori called out on the microphone for the students to settle down. "I better wake you all up." She sighed.
"OK everyone, be sure to grab tight on your seats because this local band will rock the ears off of you!" A student announcer said in a very concert-like tone.
"What band?" Yusuke asked.
"You didn't know? I thought Angelica told you that when she pulled you away from us." Kurane laughed. "The band that's going to perform is Angelica's band."
"She's on a band?" Yusuke asked with a tone of awe on his voice. All this time Yusuke thought all of Keiko's friends were girlie and all perky, but he never knew she had a friend that was on a band!
"Yeah." Kurane said eagerly. "Shh… they are about to perform."
As everyone saw the band consisted of Angelica, the vocalist and on the guitar and two other students –one boy, the bassist; and another girl, the drummer, they all fell silent eager to listen and watch.
They were performing a cover of Avril Lavigne's song: He wasn't. As they proceeded to the middle part of the song, Yusuke sensed something. Something he never thought he would sense again. Rei Ki. Looking around he saw everyone was busy watching the band with excitement and awe. No one was looking aggressive or even attempting to kill someone.
"That's some Rei Ki." Yusuke said to himself. It was indeed a strong Rei Ki, and whoever that person was, he would be a strong opponent.
He continued to glance around at his surroundings, feeling uncertain. He was sure that Rei Kai has already fired him, but he was also aware that they wanted him dead. Could the possibly have sent someone to kill him?
"They couldn't have." Yusuke lied to his self.
But as the last note played on Angelica's guitar faded, he still found his self thinking and trying to find out who that person with a strong Rei Ki was, and why on earth would that person be here on this school.
"Hey Angelica." The drummer of the band called out to Angelica. "Isn't that guy sitting next to Kurane the one Uncle Enma wanted dead?"
"Hmm?" Angelica looked at her. For a moment there, she had completely forgotten about her mission because Yusuke didn't look harmless. But then again… she knew better than to cross with King Enma.
"Yeah, he's the one."
