.::Athena's Point of View::.

I remembered the day my brother died, it changed both of our lives forever. When I found out he was dead I was devastated, but in that time period I knew what I wanted most out of life; To help people. I was tired of the same old thing, day in and day out. I wasn't completely sure what I was destined to do. I would go outside and just train for no apparent reason. I took long runs alone. I needed to get stronger and I wasn't sure why I needed to get stronger. Although Yusuke and I we were the same age, and we fought all the time, he was the only one there for me. Now he's gone.

I stepped outside my house with my headphones in my ears. I played a hard core metal song to make me shake off the excess emotions that seemed to dull on me today. My heart started pumping and the blood in my veins rushed. It was vitalizing. It took me about an hour to run to the city. I was minding my own business until I saw Keiko walking. Ugh what do I do? She's only going to make me feel even worse. I took a sharp turn into an alleyway. I let out a quick sigh of relief but then I felt someone grab my arm. Damn it, It was Keiko. I braced myself for the tears and weeping that I was trying to desperately avoid. With my surprise, however, she seemed overjoyed and far too happy than she has been lately.

"Athena! I Have to show you something!" She grabbed my arm and dragged me along.

Her eyes seemed to sparkle in the beating sunlight. She led me all the way back to my apartment, weird. Keiko led me up the stairs and we stopped abruptly at Yusuke's door. I looked at her bewildered. She smiled at me warmly and opened the door gently. My eyes trailed into the room and what I saw made my skin jump. I walked across the floor and sat down on the foot of the bed. There Yusuke was, sitting up in bed and slightly confused as well. We were both at a loss for words. Keiko starred at Yusuke dreamily behind me and after a moment of shock, a tear rolled down my cheek. "Welcome back." I said in a witty tone. I hugged Yusuke, a smile plastered across my face.

Since that night, things have been strange though, he was around me less and less and he was secretive about his life. Even Kuwabara was quite when it came to Yusuke's personal life. I understand he can't tell me everything, but this wasn't like him. He stayed away, as so did I. Four months has passed since the incident and Yusuke and I still don't talk. I'm starting to get angry. I hangout with Keiko more now however, and that is how I find out about Yusuke's life.

Keiko and I walked side by side down the street. She did most of the talking however, I kind of just was there. Out of nowhere the ground began shaking. The rumbling was unsettling and Keiko didn't notice it right away. "Shut up!" I snapped, then the rumbling got a little louder "Listen." I whispered.

Then there was a roar behind us, my head snapped back and I stood there blankly while Keiko ran away to hide. Something inside me forced me to stay there. I stood my ground and looked up at this being. It was three times my size.

"What are you?" I asked standing there sturdily.

The being laughed loudly and chuckled "I'm a C class Demon."

I think I know what a demon is, like from scary movies and stuff, but what does 'C class even mean?'

"And I plan to be the greatest demon alive" He added.

Wait, demons are real?

I shook my head for a moment and then the creep laughed again "Whats the matter, cat got your tongue?"

"No" I said in retort, usually I have a smart ass comment to follow up but I couldn't think of one at the moment.

"I slipped out of the portal and I wanted to come down here and pick a fight. Not just any fight, someone with my level of strength." He smirked.

"Level of strength?" I recalled. I am only a human, what is even going on today.

He threw a fist and punched me back a few feet. My insides boiled. "I don't know what the hell you are but you better stay back!" I yelled in defense. I stood up, hungry for more and charged and him. He had his arms crossed in a way that made him seem very cocky. He grabbed my fist and twisted it. He broke my wrist. I scowled and threw my leg up. I kicked him in his side harshly. He stumbled over and I kicked him in the chin. Keiko watched this from the bushes not knowing what to do. He flew back into a wall of a building. I smirked and felt infinite. I breathed adrenaline. He stood up and then appeared behind me and choked me, I gasped for air. The color in my vision drained slowly. I felt myself getting furious. I suddenly grabbed his shoulder behind me. A blue light transferred from my palm into his skin. It was a strange and a fulfilling sensation. Then in an instant the attacker dropped to the ground abruptly, the tightness around my neck was unconstricted once more. I looked at my hand in awe and then at the limp body beneath me. I wasn't completely sure what I just did. I continued to stare at my hand until Keiko ran out of the nearby bushes and asked "How did you do that?"

"I-I don't know.."

Then I looked at Keiko and then sprinted ahead with my books in hand. Something just wasn't right. When I had reached the end of the street I bumped into Kuwabara, nearly knocking him over.

"Hey Athena!" He smiled.

Before he could continue any of the small talk I demanded for him to tell me where Yusuke was.

"He had detention today, he should be getting out around now." He said looking at his watch.

I sped off and my voice traveled through the wind I created "Thanks!"

The bell rang in the distance and I saw Yusuke walking out of the building. He stopped and stared at me running at him.

"What are you doing sis?" He asked when I arrived to him. I panted for a few moments. He stared at me. I tried to tell him what had happened with the demon and everything but all what came out was babbling.

"Whoa slow down. What?" He laughed.

"Yusuke we need to talk." I stated while gripping his arm rather tightly.

"Okay calm down there killer. We have the whole way home to talk." He said in his usual sarcastic tone.

I explained to him what had happened and I told him about me knocking out the attacker. At first he didn't believe me until I mentioned my hand turning blue and him dropping to the ground for no apparent reason. He stopped in his tracks shocked. "So you just touched him and he was dead?"

"Yeah!" I said, my voice still sounding edgy.

He looked over at me and said "So you're like me."

"What?" I raised an eyebrow.

He just smiled and laughed at the sky "You have spirit energy Athena."

"What the hell is that?"

"Let Genkai explain more to you." He smiled and walked ahead of me. I frowned "Yusuke, you don't talk to me for four months and then you randomly tell me that I have some crap called spirit energy. Someone needs to tell me what's going on!" I yelled chasing after him.

"Genkai will, And I was doing that to protect you." Yusuke smirked.

"I don't need to be protected!" I retorted back.

"Not as much now, but you still need protection." He commented.

"Protection? I'm not the one who died!"

"I didn't plan on dying okay! "

We continued fighting until we got home. Then it was odd because a few hours later after I took a shower he knocked on my door and came into my room. He seemed a little more serious this time. "Alright so let me tell you about what you've been missing out on. I'm glad I can tell you because you understand." He began. Then he told me about these first four months of his new life. "Wait, I wanna be a spirit detective." I cut him off quickly when he mentioned it, and after hearing a bunch of stories about it.

"You'll have to talk to Koenma about it."

"Ugh so many people I need to talk to" I mumbled.

"You just get some sleep and tomorrow we'll figure out where you stand as far as this whole 'spirit detective' thing goes."

I sighed and shook my head "Fine. Before you go, I was wondering. Does Keiko know anything about this?"

"No and Don't tell her anything either."

I could tell by the tone of his voice he was serious. I remembered that she saw the whole fight with me and that demon. I nodded once. Yusuke left and I eventually fell asleep.
