Disclaimer: Hey guys!!! Thanks for actually clicking the link to my fic!!! Please bare with me, I might be lame sometimes, and I tend to be repetitive and never shut up... However, this is my first fic, even if it is a re-write of my deleted one (T-T). But enjoy anyway! Cyaz at the end of the chappie.
Me (aka Hikari): I...I don't...I don't own... (cries hysterically)
Kurama: Come on Hikari-chan; don't worry. We are at least your friends, right?
Hiei: Just say the friken disclaimer already, and get it over with.
Me: (still crying waterfalls)
Ami ((A/N: you'll find out who she is...)): (comforts Hikari) If you want me to, I can say it for you...
Me: (stops crying, but sobs occasionally) Really? You'd do that for me? (sob) You're such a good friend, Ami-chan.
Ami: (takes a deep breath) Hikari-chan doesn't own Yu Yu Hakusho... And I don't either (pouts) and th..they're such.. such...– WAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!!!! also cries
Kurama: (takes both girls into arms and hugs them until they stop crying so hardly) Don't cry girls...
Kuwabaka: (pouts) How come Kurama gets all the girls? I want some too...
Hiei: I think they'd all rather hang themselves than let you touch them.
Kuwabaka: What are you trying to say, Shrimp?
Hiei: Call me shrimp once again, and I'll cut your empty head off with one clean swipe.
Kuwabaka: Bring it on, Shorty.
(Hiei and Kuwabara get into a fight, while everyone else is unaware of this frequent event)
Ami-chan and I are calmed down now (thanks to Kurama :) ): (sigh)
Me: Better get on with the story now!

Chapter 1: It Was
Ami looked outside...out her window. It was raining - raining hard. Thunder sounded - and lightning struck as she thought about that dreaded day, once again.
It was raining that day. Just like right now. You would hear the thunder, and after a second or two, you would see a flash of lightning. That day, He was here. Right there in her bedroom that she had had for at least five years. Ami was lying on her bed. He was on the other side of the room, where her computer and bookshelf was. That corner was his favourite part of Ami's bedroom. Usually, He would spend most of his stay there, exploring the little "world" of hers, all the while conversing to her. But, this time was different. Spending a bare minute at His regular "hang-out" - must've been a new record for him - He came over and lay down next to her. She turned around and looked into his eyes. They were not showing the common gleam and shine of the usual joy and happiness. Instead, his emerald-green eyes were filled with guilt and some-sort-of sorrow. 'Something must be wrong...I wonder what it could possibly be to faze the ever blissful Kurama.'
"Umm...Kura-kun?" Ami softly inquired.
"Yes, Ai-chan?" Kurama almost instantly replied.
((A/N: I will explain the nicknames later, and then you will know why their names are the way it is when they call each other.))
"I was just wondering...is something the matter? I've haven't seen you like this since the time you broke up with Koi-" suddenly she stopped mid-sentence, knowing what was about to happen.
---FlashbacK---
Kura-kun and Ami used to be the very best of friends...until that time he broke up with his girlfriend, Koi. She was also one of Ami's closest friends, but didn't know that she also had a crush on Suuichi – as Koi knew him by. Koi-chan was the most perfect person that she has ever met – excluding Kura-kun of course. Koi-chan had wonderfully beautiful aqua-green hair that reached just above her chest area; it was straight, except for the ends that always seem to turn into a wavy pattern. Her bangs covered her eyes, which were a crimson red, always glowing with the ferocity of a flaming fire. Not only was her appearance beyond compare, but her personality was also unbelievable. She was a smart person, always getting straight A's, the teachers' favourite student, along with Suuichi. A friend that every person would have wanted; nice, generous, helping, just PERFECT in every single way. That was Koi, being on top of everybody else – alongside the other ideal student, Kurama. It was obvious that they were the perfect couple. Ami used to think that she was a very fortunate girl to have both of these angelic people in her life – one as a secret admirer, the other one as her roomie and both of them as her best friends.
Every night, when Koi and Ami would slip into our beds, they would always have a chat; and Koi-chan would always talk about Suuichi. Her eyes would constantly light up and her voice would always seem gentler as she would go on and on about Suuichi-kun in a dreamy voice. Ami, heartbroken inside, listened to her talk about her growing relationship with the one and only Suuichi Minamino/Youko Kurama. She whole-heartedly paid attention to Koi-chan as she rambled on about all the wonderful things about getting the "privilege" of becoming Kura-kun's girlfriend – the role that Ami wanted to play. As each nightly talk went on, the rage inside her grew and grew…until one day she just couldn't stand it anymore. That night, Kurama and Koi had shared their first kiss together; Ami had heard the same story through two different points of views: Koi-chan's and Kura-kun's. Now THAT really drove her off the edge. That same night, as Koi started their "nightly talks" – as usual – she didn't take any more crap from any of them. Yes…she exploded on her.
"THAT'S IT!!! I DON'T WANT TO HEAR ANYMORE OF THIS SHIT FROM YOU!!! WE ALL KNOW THAT KURA-KU – SUUICHI-KUN IS THE ONLY ONE "PERFECT" ENOUGH TO MEET YOUR STANDARDS. EVERY SINGLE FUCKING NIGHT, I LY HEAR AND LISTEN TO YOU RANT ON ABOUT THE ONLY MAN THAT I HAVE EVER LOVED!!!" Ami yelled and screamed, pouring out every detail and secret that she had kept from Koi, hoping to avoid any chance of breaking their friendship – exactly what was happening now.
"Ami-chan...I..I..don't understand..." Koi confusedly answered.
"THERE IS NO NEED FOR YOU TO UNDERSTAND. ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS STOP TALKING TO ME ABOUT MY KURA-KUN!!! YES, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO TALK ABOUT YOUR BOYFRIEND. BUT YOU DON'T HAVE TO RUB IT IN AND CAUSE ME PAIN EVERY NIGHT DURING YOUR TALKS. IF YOU DIDN'T KNOW…IT HURTS. More than you can ever imagine. Now...I really don't want to yell at one of my best friends anymore. It adds onto the already unbearable pain. If I may ask, please...may you sleep somewhere else tonight?"
"Ami...I apologize for making you feel like this, but Shuuichi... he is mine and mine only!!! This was not what I wanted our friendship to turn out as, however what's done is done. Ami-chan, from now on we are not best friends anymore, whatsoever. I guess I should move out also. Well... goodnight my dear friend." With that Koi just stepped out of my life – except for when Kurama is with her.
'From that day on, both of my best friends left me all alone. Alone in the darkness that threats to swallow me up into its...hatred. I tried to forget all about them, but I just couldn't. All I ever really thought about was Kura-kun...and all the fun he was having with Koi-chan. It really upset me that I was so left out of their lives. Even though it was mainly my own fault. The memories of them haunted my every thought; they just wouldn't leave me alone.
---about 3 months later---
Koi, Kurama, and I are now in the third month of completely ignoring each other. However, it seems that Kura-kun and Koi-chan are going to forgive me soon enough…
If I just wait... maybe then...
