Hello. I have a few things to say before I start my fic. First off, this is my first fic so I would really like to know what you think. Second, I hope you like it. And third, I do not own Yu Yu Hakusho.
Chapter 1: The Letter
The second hand slowly moved as the young man with tangerine-orange hair tapped his pencil impatiently on his desk. 3… 2… 1… Ring! He jumps out of his desk at the sound of the bell and darts out of the classroom.
He runs as fast as he can down the hall. Anyone who gets in his way soon finds himself on the floor. If someone say "Ow" or "Watch it," he'll wave his hand in the air and yell out, "sorry. In a hurry. Must get home."
His friends all look at each other as their leader hurries past them without a word. Worried about their friend's strange actions, they follow him.
"I've never seen him run so fast in my life," a plump teen with slick black hair says as they try to keep up.
"Maybe his kitten ran away," a teen with short black hair laughed.
The third friend, who has messy brown hair, caught up and exasperatedly explained, "It can't be his kitten. He had a goofy look on his face. Plus he has been acting really excited and impatient all day."
The first two stop running and look at each other. They stand there for a few minutes before nodding their heads and continuing to run.
The tangerine-orange haired man ran through the doors of his house. He grabbed something off the counter and ran back out the door.
He rushed past his friends, who were confused as to where he was going now, and down to a set of small metal boxes in a larger metal box. He placed the key in one of the keyholes and pulled out a few rectangular objects.
His friends finally reach his house as he dashes back through the door. He thumbs through the objects in his hands and, once he finds what he's looking for, throws them on the counter. He quickly sits down on the couch, not aware that his friends are there, and opens the object. He pulls out a piece of paper folded into thirds.
The teen with messy brown hair's jaw dropped and he said in disbelief, "He has been acting strange all day just waiting for a letter?"
His two other friends start to crack up laughing. They fall off the couch and land on the floor holding their stomachs. Still the young man doesn't notice they are there.
He opens the letter and three pictures fall out. He picks them up and looks at them. The first one he looks at is a picture of a girl with short blonde hair tied up in pigtails. She has bright green eyes and is wearing a shirt to match them. He picks up the next picture and sees four people standing together. There is a man, who looks to be in he early forties, at the top left corner. Next to him is a beautiful woman who looks to be in her late thirties. Right below both of them is two teenagers. One is a boy with dark brown hair; the other is a beautiful girl with long black hair. The young man guesses that this was the family of the person who sent the letter. The last picture he looks at is of the girl in the picture before that one. She has long Black hair with, what looks like, purple highlights. She has beautiful stormy gray eyes and is wearing a black shirt with some red writing across the chest.
He stares at that picture for a few minutes mesmerized. He snaps back to reality when he hears a loud thud. He looks up and sees that one of his friends just smacked his head on the table.
He jumps up with a startle and yells, "Whoa! When did you guys get here?"
His friends stare blankly at him before starting to laugh again. He ignores there laughing and hands them the pictures. He tells them to look at them and to be careful with them. As his friends look at the pictures he opens the letter again. He reads:
Hey Kazuma,
What's up? I hope everything is going good for you. Everything is going great here. My parents sold our house and are getting everything ready for the move to Arizona. My uncle, that lives California, is going to watch our dog during the move. I hope you like the pictures I sent you. The blonde is my best friend Mary, the one I'm always talking about. The picture of the four people is one of my family. As you can figure out, the two in the back are my parents, the boy is my brother, and the girl is me. And then the third picture is me. Oh! I have a surprise for you. I'm not moving to Arizona with my parents. I'm going to be living with my aunt… in Japan. I want to actually meet you face to face. I am going to be flying in on the night of the 11th. I hope to see you when I get there. Well I have to go finish packing now. See you soon.
