Hello everyone! I only own my characters…. Also it should be stated that this story is not a copy of "Smile in the face of sorrow" My other account was hacked for some retarded reason and I cant get back onto it….So I am going through my stories again and reposting on this new account. Hopefully this account will go better. ^_^ Thank you all for your understanding. Enjoy!

Bass pumped out Alea's headphones as she bounced around her bedroom jamming to the tunes that never failed to improve her mood. She was done with school for ever!

Graduation was done and she was celebrating in her own way now that she was alone. She had her eyes closed, completely absorbed into her music when she suddenly ran into something solid. Her eyes snapped open and almost bugged out of her head. She sat down hard.

It took multiple blinks for her brain to acknowledge that what she was looking at was real. But she still pinched herself just to make sure. Her small yelp of pain verified that she wasn't totally crazy and she felt her heart start to race.

Standing in front of her was the whole gang from Yu Yu Hakusho. Their eyes were going between her and scanning her room. The looks on their faces going from shock to an almost WTF look. She felt a small blush start on her cheeks. She could understand the looks. Her walls were covered in pictures, posters, and wall scrolls of all of them.

She saw Yusuke's mouth move and realized that she still had her music on and blaring in her ears. She quickly pulled the ear buds out of her ear and turned her ipod off.

"I'm sorry what was that Yusuke?" She asked.

Yusuke scratched his head. "I asked if you were ok."

Alea realized she was still sitting on the floor. She quickly stood up. "Ya, I'm fine. I fell down out of shock more than anything."

She looked away as she put her ipod down beside her computer, accidentally bumping the mouse without realizing it. Her screensaver disappeared to show that her background on her screen was a picture of Yoko Kurama with his rose whip flying through the air. Alea hadn't noticed though.

"Are you some sort of stalker or something?" Kuwabara asked nervously, his eyes still roaming the walls. She had a lot of pictures.

Alea's blush came back slightly. "Um, not really, my name is Alea."

Kurama pulled his eyes away from the picture on the computer screen, finally getting his shock a little under control. "At least we know why Koenma said we didn't have to worry about her reaction to us here."

Alea rubbed the back of her head. "Umm, ya, its kind of an interesting story." The loud sound of a truck pulling into the driveway and revving its engine interrupted her. Alea ran to the window. "Damn! Why now?"

The boys looked at each other at her barely hidden distress. "What's wrong?" Kurama asked.

Alea spun around. "I'll be right back!" She said almost frantically as she moved toward the door. Just before she reached it the front door slammed shut with enough force to shake the whole house.

"You stupid fucking whore! Where's my dinner?" A deep angry voice called from downstairs. Alea flinched as she went out and closed the door behind her. They heard her running down the hallway and down the stairs. The boys all looked at each other and moved as one towards the door Alea had just closed.

"I was upstairs with friends." They heard her say as they opened the door. The man laughed.

"Who would want to be friends with a worthless piece of shit like you?" There was the sudden sound of a hand meeting flesh followed by the sound of a body hitting something solid.

That caused the boys to pick up the pace and run to the top of the stairs.

When they got there they saw Alea laying on the ground at the foot of one of the walls. She had her right hand to her cheek, her head bowed to protect her face from any more attacks. The man they had heard was a big man wearing jeans and a wife beater tank top.

"Don't lie to me you lazy bitch. I wont stand for it! You know you are to have my dinner ready by the time I get home!" The man pulled his foot back to kick her when Kuwabara's voice stopped him.

"Hey, didn't your mother ever teach you not to hit girls?" The man turned around and a malicious grin lit his face when he saw the boys all come down the stairs in a rush. Alea's head snapped up as soon as the man had looked away from her.

"I see my daughter is playing the whore again." The man said, propping his hands on his hips. An angry look flashed onto her face.

"I am not a whore!" She yelled.

She started struggling to her feet. Underneath her was the broken pieces of what had been a small table before she had been knocked onto it. The hand that had been on her cheek went to the wall to push herself upright slowly.

When she had made it to her feet and turned toward them Yusuke and Kuwabara gasped. Her arm was broken, it bent at a slight unnatural angle just above her elbow.

Ok! Review and tell me what you think!
