DISCLAMER!: YuYu Hakusho is NOT mine! Only my OCs are and actually, "Sin" is my friend's character! So don't be mad at me! And again, if anyone didn't catch that, YUYUHAKUSHO IS NOT MINE! ^_^

Something's wrapping around me.

It's restraining my every move and I can't seem to break through.

I feel pain, yet somehow it feels natural.

It was a part of me.

It was dark and I couldn't see anything.

The ropes were tightening yet I still can't break free.

Wait!

I see something!

A light…coming from somewhere…no…from someone.

Who is he?

Those eyes…they're…the color of blood.

Bolting up from bed, I felt my face come into contact with the solid wood flooring of my room. "Ouch!!! DAMN IT!" I yelled as I clutched my face as I stood up and got even more tangled in my sheets.

"Sin-chan, you're going to be late if you don't hurry up soon!" I heard my mom yell. I finally released myself from those evil sheets and went to the bathroom to fix myself up. I quickly changed into my uniform and rushed, no, scratch that, bounded downstairs. I landed with a light thud on both my feet. I did a victory dance and looked up. "Eeep!" I jumped away as I saw my mom's deep blue eyes stare down at me. "Don't scare me like that mom!"

"How many times have I told you NOT to jump OFF the stairs!?" you could literally see smoke coming out of her ears. I giggled secretly.

"What's so funny?" she asked sharply. "I told you to al-"

"'…-ways use the stairs properly so you won't end up in a stretcher with a busted head.' " I finished for her.

I saw her vein pop.

"Good morning to you too mother!" I said cheerfully and gave her a sweet hug. "Sigh…you and your hyper-ness." she told me but I knew she wasn't mad. She pats me with the spatula and headed back to her cooking. "Start eating now. We don't want you to be late on your first day of high school."

I started eating her special blueberry pancakes.

"Now remember dear," she started. "Don't go and pick fights with people. You know how I feel about fights. If you ever feel sick, you know my number. If I don't pick up, call your dad. Also, remember to always wash your hands after you use the toile-"

"Mom!" I almost chocked with the pancake. "I'm going to school, not some year-long vacation trip. You don't have to worry about me. I'm fifteen already! I can take care of myself." I took a sip of my milk proudly. "High school will be a piece of cake." I grinned at her. I saw her face twist in laughter and all of a sudden, she burst out laughing.

"W-what?" was there something on my face?!

"Y-Your lip!" she started laughing again. "What about my lip?"

"She means, 'You can't act grown up when you have milk stains on your upper lip.'" My dad's voice came out of nowhere and I jumped off the chair.

"What's with parents and scaring kids?!" I shouted dramatically.

"It's our job!" My dad winked at me and he picked up my mom bridal style. "Now, aren't you supposed to be going to school?" He asked, not taking his eyes off mommy. I looked at them. "Oh! Yeah! School! Thanks mom and dad! Take care!!" I took my pack, slung it over my shoulder and ran outside into the sunny morning.

Running towards the park, I saw a bunch of guys crowding around the corner. I sighed as I figured who it was. I shook my head amusedly as I leaped up a tree and watched the scene. Sure enough, my best friend was in the eye of the storm. "I would run now if I were you guys," I said under my breath with a light chuckle as I watched.

"C'mon Emina! Just one date! I swear I'll buy you anything you want!" one of the guys said with his sweetest voice.

"I have this really cool motorbike that we can ride to our date!" another guys said with his cocky grin.

"You can have your way with me!" suggested one with a 'suggestive' smile. "All the way." He winked. Uh oh…here she comes! I grinned as I saw my best friend loosing her cool. She looked up at the guys with her red eyes.

"You'll let me have my way with you?" she said sweetly with her 'angelic' smile. I shuddered. The guy just nodded like a moron. "Alright then," Emina started walking gracefully toward the guy. He gulped as he looked at her with a blushing face. I can tell that he's feeling very…'uncomfortable' down there. Emi-chan reached up and pulled his tie towards her and looked at him with those startling red eyes. She's albino by the way, so that's her real eye color. The guy's heart seemed to be beating 100 m/h! I chuckled. Poor guy. Suddenly, Emi-chan jerked her knee forward and kneed the guy's crotch hard! I almost felt sorry for the guy, almost. He won't be having children anymore, I can assure you that. He fell on the ground as Emi-chan let go of his tie and glared at the other. "Just for the record," her voice was loud and clear. "I'm not the kind of girl who'd go out with someone stupid just 'cause I'd get something in return." She grinned and looked up at me. Damn!! I thought I could sneak up on her this time. "Ja~!" she said with a sing-song voice.

She leaped up the concrete fence and landed on the other side where the tree that I'm hiding in was rooted.

I jumped down and stared at her. I tried so hard to keep my laughter in. "You know," I barely managed to say. "Those guys will come after you." She suddenly tackled me with her 'supper-love-filled-tackle-hug'. "I missed you Sin-chaaan!" She exclaimed. I sweat dropped and pet her head. "Now…now…we've seen each other since…yesterday!" Sigh…this girl's very attached to me. Don't get me wrong. I love my bestie. She let go of me and looked at me with her 'innocent' eyes. "Nah, if they try to get me, I know you'll have my back!" she elbowed me playfully.

"Oh god…you know, it's not fair that I get sucked in your 'boy' problems." I said in fake annoyance.

"Well! That's what best friends are for!" She giggled and we continued walking to school.

"You nervous?" I asked her as the school started to come into view.

"A bit," she had a small smile. "But not entirely since you're with me." she gave me those rare smiles that she never gives to anyone.

Before we get into the school building, a sudden rush of footsteps and girly squeals were heard. Emi-chan and I sighed as we figured who the cause was. "Guess Prince Charming is in the building." I said sarcastically.

"Seems so,"

No sooner, a rush of stampede went past us and a bunch of girls yelled, "SHUICHI-SAMA!!"

I rolled my eyes. I mean, c'mon! Shuichi Minamino is a freshman just like us! Why would girls literally fall on their knees and practically worship him. Alright, I admit, he's handsome and tall and smart but lets face it, HE LOOKS LIKE A GIRL! Also, I'm sure I can beat him. "Ne Emi-chan, how about we pay our Prince a visit?" I chuckled mischievously. To my surprise, Emi fidgeted a bit and shook her head. "N-Nah, I'll just check the class board and see where our classroom is. Meet me there when the bell rings." Before I could say anything back she ran towards the class list board and disappeared in the crowd. What is WRONG with her?

"Guess you're still as popular as ever 'Prince'. " I poked Shuichi's sides.

"I wish you could stop doing that." he jumped a bit. "The girls might have the wrong impression."

"Why? Our Prince is scared that the other girls might think he has a girlfriend?" I grinned.

"Nope, I don't care at all. I just don't like rumors."

"So! Ready to be beaten in every single classmy dear PRINCES?"

I saw his vein pulse in anger.

"Bring it on-…oh, where's Emina-san? Isn't she always with you?" he looked around as if expecting to see my friend.

"Nah, she went to check out where our classroom is. You know," we started walking to find Emi-chan. "This morning, she was in a fight with some high-school boys just around the corner."

"Really?! You guys need to be more careful! Those guys are dangerous!"

"Hah! Nothing's dangerous for me and Emi-chan!" I grinned at him. "Ready to loose?"

"You wish!" he smirked at me as we approached the waiting albino.

Me and Shuichi have this 'rivalry' thing going on. Ever since we were in 5'th grade, we always competed against each other. May it be P.E., Math, Science, Projects; you name it! We have competed against each other. Sadly, it always resulted in a tie. Though we do have our strengths in certain areas. For example, I always win in art class and I always loose in home economics. Pretty ironic since he's a guy and I'm a girl.

It turns out that me, Emi-chan and Shuichi were in the same class! I took the seat next to the window with Emi-chan next to me. Being the nerd he is, Shuichi sat in front of Emi which was in the first row; right in front of the teacher. After the second bell rang, the room was full and almost everyone was quiet, except of course for the 'lucky' fan girls that ended up in the same class as their 'Prince'.

The teacher introduced himself, Mr. Hayama was his name. He told us to introduce ourselves. He went by rows so Shuichi was going second. When he stood up, almost every single fan girl screamed; it was the call of hell, I can assure you that. Anyway, the teacher started to call out the next person. No sooner, it was my turn. I stood up.

"Hello, I'm Sin. I'm supposing you guys know my last name so I won't say it. I like cats and dogs. My hobby is plotting something evil to those who annoy me." I gave them a mischievous smirk and almost everyone, for the exception of Shuichi and Emina of course, turned pale. I chuckled and sat down.

"T-Thank you S-Sin-san," he wiped away some cold sweat from his forehead. "N-Next one?" Emi-chan stood up, her white red-streaked hair flowing a bit.

"I'm Emina. My last name is irrelevant seeing as almost everyone in here isn't paying attention. I like strawberries-" almost as instantly as she said that, we heard someone from the back giggle. "Is that why your hair is like that?" The person said out loud mockingly. I glared at her and was about to say something but Emina beat me. "No, my hair isn't like this because of the strawberries. In fact," uh oh…I can see her eyes narrowing…you're dead little girl. "How about you come here and see for yourself? Think you can guess what I used to dye my hair with?" Emi-chan smiled sweetly. The girl shook her head. "I'll give you a hint," Emi-chan's voice was so gentle, I almost laughed out loud. "It's a substance that everyone has that's running in their veins." With that, everyone in the room fell into a stiff silence. Emina gave the girl one last smile before sitting down.

It took about five whole minutes before Mr. Hayama snapped out of his trance and announced the next person.

=o=

First day of high-school wasn't that bad. Yeah it's tiring, but nothing we can't handle. Emina and I are walking down the unpaved road in the forest. I thought that since it's a nice day, we could at least have a peaceful walk without hearing the words, "Kya~! It's Minamino-sama!" or "MARRY ME SHUICHI-KUN!" the whole day it was like that. But now, all that could be heard was the chirping of the birds.

"You know, Emi-chan, you gave everyone a heart attack there." I chuckled as we talked about the strawberry incident.

"Well…I couldn't help it. Gomenasai." she had the look of a very sorry kitten! I glomped her very tightly! We set our books down; those teachers seem to want us have back problems, and sat on the soft grass. We took out our snacks and just sat in silence.

"So Emi-chan, how's your apartment? Anything we can do to help?" I asked slowly. Emina's been living on her own ever since I could remember. She was an orphan too. But that didn't make her depressed or anything.

"Nah, I'm fine Sin-chan. I'm doing great. The neighborhood seems nice and I'm managing with my part time job."

"I see…that's good then. At least this time, you wouldn't have to hide since you're in high school now." I saw her nod in agreement. To pay for her expenses, Emi-chan takes on some part time jobs. Back then, she somehow convinced the people that she works for to let her work. I have no idea how she did that but that's not important. We sat there in silence for a bit more, when suddenly; we heard a heart-stopping scream for help!

Emina was immediately on her feet and looked very alert. I suddenly had a flashback. When I was in her apartment, I found some random weapons lying there in her room, guess it's necessary when you live alone. Anyway, now, she's in front of me, as if protecting me entirely.

"It's not safe here Sin-chan. We better leave immediately." her eyes were narrowed as if trying to feel her every surrounding.

"A-Alright," seeing her like this makes me scared sometimes. I stood up and gathered our things. She led the way out the forest but before we could go any further, she stopped. I tried to concentrate as well; I did some Martial Arts Training, just so you know. Then in a quiet voice, loud enough for me to hear, Emi said, "Sin-chan, whatever comes out of those trees, just stay behind me…okay?"

I was about to protest but agreed nonetheless.

The trees ruffled against the breeze and the bushes rustled. Emi stood still and kept her eyes on the trees. I didn't even have time to think and register what happened. All I saw was a black blur zipping right past me and straight to Emi, pinning her on a tree!

"E-Emina!" I gasped.

There, pinning her with a sword was a guy with black gravity defying hair. He had his sword embedded on Emi's arm since she used it as a shield. Blood started trickling down. I didn't know what to do.

"Who sent you?" the guy said.

"No one…what are you doing here?" Emi said calmly. I was literally screaming in my head, why are you so calm?!

"That's none of your business."

"Well then, would you mind taking out your sword? It really stings."

JUST STING!? I shouted yet again; I seemed to be rooted on the spot.

"Hn. You're lucky you weren't doing anything…" he swiftly took out his sword and Emi's uniform was now drenched with blood. The guy slowly turns and sees me.

I stopped breathing.

Not only was I nervous, but his appearance was stunning. His eyes were…crimson! He slowly approached me.

I heard Emi growl. "Don't touch her." she clutched her injured hand and ran to me.

"Come any closer and your dear friend's head will come off her shoulder," the guy threatened. How can such an adorable face say that?! He raised his sword on my chin and tilted my face up. Despite being short himself, I was still two inches shorter than him…

Emi stopped and just glared at the guy.

The guys smirked at me as I held my breath.

"Very interesting…" he said to himself. "You know, you remind me of someone." He grinned. He slowly leaned in and I couldn't help but to take a step back. "Move again and this'll go through your neck."

What's with this guy?!

Suddenly, as if hearing an inaudible whistle, the guy perked up. "Hn…baka…" I think he was talking to himself. He quickly sheathed his sword. "You're lucky my time was up." he looked at me with those crimson eyes. "Just a warning; if I ever see you guys in this forest again, I can assure you your life will be dealt with very painfully."

With that, he disappeared.
