Prologue: Late Again

For some, the school bell is the signal to start working. For others, it is the beginning of eight hours of torture. For others still, it is a gleam of hope; a chance for them to showcase their talents. But for Kakome Mirushito, it just meant she was late.

Kakome was usually late to class, and today was no exception. It just took her too long to get ready, but most of the male students in her class thought it was well worth all the extra effort. In other words, she was always late because she had to make herself hot. Her medium-length brunette hair had amazing bangs, which were never out of place, and the main body of her hair was always worn in a feathered bun. She put just the right amount of make-up on, so that it brought out her eyes but didn't look unnatural. And her lips… well, those lips just made her a warhead of sexiness.

If she hurried, maybe her teacher wouldn't notice her tardiness… Mr. Karokita usually didn't start class immediately

She crept into the classroom, seemingly unnoticed. And perhaps she would have gotten away with her tardiness if a certain loud-mouthed boy by the name of Kazuhiro Daiguchi note: in Japanese, Daiguchi means 'large mouth' hadn't greeted her with a "Hey Kakome! How come you're late?" for all the class to hear.

"Oh, no!" thought Kakome in complete trepidation. "I'm gonna have to take the penalty!"

You see, not only was Kakome abnormally good-looking, she also attended an abnormal school. The Yusuke Urameshi School for Spirit Detectives was a school where those that opposed demon activity learned to fight it. Those who were employed to do so were called Spirit Detectives.

The founder of this school seemed to believe that class was like a mission. If you were late, then you may come across an ambush. Such was the same concept of a tardiness penalty. They had to fight the teacher.

Mr. Karokita didn't seem to notice her…

"MIRUSHITO!"

…Never mind.
