Summary: Kaila is your average teenage, punk girl. She lives with her mother who is alcoholic and her brother who also did not care about her. No one knows about the power she holds within, not even her. Until she met the rekai tantei. Secrets revealed, past uncovered and the death of a close person. Can she handle it all?
Chapter One: As usual…
Beep. Beep. Beep.
Beep. Beep. Beep.
Beep. Bee—Clash!
" Stupid alarm clock! I'm already awake!" She yelled at the poor alarm clock. And who is this she I'm referring to… well none other than Kaila Urameshi! Kaila Urameshi is your average teenage girl. Well, that is what everyone thinks.
She got up, turned on her stereo and went into the bathroom and brushed her teeth. She removed her clothes and turned on the shower. After taking a quick shower, she dressed up quickly with black baggy pants and a black shirt that says" TOUCH AND DIE" in big red letters. She grabbed her backpack and headed out the door. There she bumped into one of her friends, Jhen.
" Hey Kaila!" she called out to her. Jhen has straight blonde hair that goes down to her mid-back and blue eyes.
" How many times did I tell you not to call me Kaila." Kaila said. Kaila has brown hair that also goes down to her mid-back in loose curls and brown eyes.
" Fine, Kai. Are you happy now?"
" Very."
" Why do you hate your name so much?" Jhen asked her.
" I do not hate it. It's just that it's very girly. You know I should I ask you the same question, Jennifer." Kaila said.
"Jennifer is too long. Jhen is shorter and only has one syllable. By the way, have you eaten breakfast already?" Jhen asked.
" Not yet. It's not like there is any breakfast in our house. Know what I mean. Mom is hardly at home. But when she is, she is neither drunk or passed out on the couch." Kai answered.
" Well, I already guessed that you haven't, and since I'm a good friend, I brought you breakfast and lunch. Here. I don't have any classes today so I'll just hang out at home." Jhen told her as she handed her two sandwiches.
" Thank you. Well as much as I want to continue this little chit-chat, I have to run. I'm gonna be late. Bye." Kai said running towards her school.
"But don't forget band practice at my place." Jhen yelled at her. Kai raised her hand to indicate that she heard it.
Later that afternoon… ( A/N: I'm gonna skip the school part because it is boring.)
Kai was standing infront of a not-so-huge house. She rang the doorbell twice before someone with straight, shoulder length black hair with violet highlights and violet contacts answered.
" Hey, Ash." Kai greeted. " Is everybody here already?"
" Yeah. We were just finishing setting up. Come on!" Ash lead the way to the garage.
When they reached the garage, two boys and Jhen are already waiting for them. One of the boys has blonde hair and blue eyes. He was wearing a loose blue shirt and straight jeans and sneakers.
" Hey Brad. Didn't see you at school today. Skipped it?" Kai asked the boy with blonde hair.
" Yeah. I only had one subject and it is boring." Brad said with a grin. Jhen slapped the back of his head. " Ow!"
" Baka! How will you graduate if you won't go to school?" Jhen, his twin, asked, looking quite irritated.
" You didn't have to hit me!" Brad argued.
" Well, I thought that THAT might knock some sense into your head!" Jhen said.
Brad was about to argue back…
" Both of you shut the hell up!" Ash shouted.
Another boy, with a messy black hair that goes to his shoulder and dark brown eyes, was looking at them in amusement.
" Chris, what are you smiling about?" Ash asked.
" You guys amuse me. Not a boring moment." He said while giving a little chuckle.
" Okaaaaaaaaay…. Let's just start our practice." Kai said.
.o0o..o0o..o0o..o0o..o0o..o0o.
As shocking as this may sound, Yusuke was at home, bored.
" Kuwabara is really an idiot. He told me we'll go to the arcade. Says that he'll beat me but never does. Then he tells me that he needed to feed his kitten the last minute!" Yusuke said to no one in particular.
He was alone at the house. His mother went somewhere with her friends and wont be back for a week. And her little sister… he doesn't know where she is, as usual.
' I wonder where she is'. He thought.
He went upstairs and went straight to her sister's bedroom. Her bedroom is very clean compared to his room. The walls were painted black even the ceiling, except the ceiling was painted with some kind of symbol on it. The symbol was painted using silver paint. The symbol has three leaf-like symbols overlapping each other on top of a circle. It is called the Triquetra. ( A/N: I have researched and thanks to Luthoen, I know what the name of the symbol is. Hehe.. Mwah! Thanks also for those others who helped!)
The curtains were red, also the cabinet and carpet and study table. Her computer was black and her bedsheet was black also. But her pillows were red.
" Wow, she has a neat room."
He went over the study table and looked at the pictures there.
" I wonder who are these people."
The pictures were her friends and her. And there were a group picture composed of Kai in the middle with a guy, with brown hair and blue eyes, with his arms around Kai. Jhen and her twin brother are situated on the left of Kai and the guy, and Chris and Ash on their right.
He went over to see the calendar.
" Hmmm, what date is it today?… It's August 13… let me see… she has a band practice today? I never knew she was in a band… It's four days before her birthday… What will I give her?… What's this?" He murmured to himself. He looks at the symbol written on August 14. the symbol is the same as the one painted on her ceiling.
" What is it with this symbol? Better ask the red head." He said to himself.
Meanwhile…
" I think that is enough. We should be ready for tomorrow night." Kai said to the band.
" Okay, we'll meet tomorrow at 9 pm at the café." Brad said.
" I have to go, my mom might worry." Ash said standing up.
" Me too, I have something to do." Chris said.
" Okay bye guys." Kai said.
" Bye." They both said in unison.
" I'm so happy." Kai stated… happily.
" Why?" Brad asked.
" Well, two years of singing in different cafés and bars actually paid off. Now we have our own club." Kai said.
" Yeah. But its more like a café, not bar or club because even though we serve alcohol, we don't have strippers and bar tenders." Jhen said.
" I know." Kai said.
" Well, do you want to have strippers? I will be more than happy to have strippers." Brad said dreamily.
" Brad! You and your perverted mind!" Jhen shouted at her twin.
" Well I'm just suggesting." Brad said defensively.
" Well, the answer is no. I mean, even though we don't have strippers, the café was a hit." Jhen said.
" Yeah. Even I did not expect that many people would come on first day." Kai said.
" I heard that its because of the vocalist of our band. They came to see you Kai." Brad said.
" What? Why?" Kai asked, doubtful.
" Because your pretty and have a beautiful voice." Jhen chirped in.
" I do not believe you." Kai said.
" Many boys say that your pretty, you just act boyish." Jhen said.
" I do not care what they say. This is the life I'm comfortable with." Kai stated.
" That's the spirit. You know you've grown more confident this past few years." Brad said.
" Well, if it wasn't for you guys, maybe I became like my mom, or worse, a stripper in a club. *shiver* I have to go. I'm already tired. Bye guys." Kai said.
" Bye Kai." Jhen said.
" Be careful on your way home." Brad said.
" Thanks."
