Broken Memories

A Yu Yu Hakusho Story

A/N: the character's name is Saru Nishizawa. Looks 15, but that will be explained, and a mysterious past--which she is fully aware of.

Bitter thoughts were in her mind as she walked from her new home to a school, with a dumb uniform, and recalled that joyus moment when her alcoholic for a father told her...

"Saru" The old man said, "here's the uniform, the address and your class schedule, you start tomorrow." She glared at her father's retreating back and gripped the items tightly then walked to her room. 'Stupid old man,' she mused, 'the dumb fuck doesn't realize that tomorrow is Sunday.'

She gave a cold laugh when she turned the corner, there wasn't anything more she'd like to do that murder him, and for a bonus do it with alcohol poisoning! If not for her seven older brothers living with her, she would have carried out her plan, alas more than half are on his side. Sighing in defeat she finally reached the dreaded building where there are girls and boys running around with similar colored outfits.

"Can I help you?" A pleasant, calm voice from a female secretary asked Saru as she entered, to which she said 'yes' and asked where her classes were. Saru sighed once again, she hated being 'vulnerable' in an unknown situation, and trudged off in the direction the lady said. Half way there, and there was already trouble...

"Lookit, freshmeat!" A deep male voice called from behind her, as it laughed with a companion, "Let's see what you got." He then reached right over Saru's head, grabbed the schedule and began looking at it, showing his friend as well.

"Hand that over!" She demanded, but it felt useless, and really embarrassing as she glared at the two. "Now, now," The tall one cooed, his voice filled with bad intentions, "This is a real disappointment. That such a cute girl is not in a time when I can work my magic." Saru glared at him harder when an all too familiar glint flashed in his eyes as he and his buddy laughed again.

"Not likely," swiping the paper back, she turned on her heels, "Besides, you pathetic boys couldn't handle me."

That was a mistake, and the next thing Saru knew she was pinned against the wall both hands above her head, the sme two boys standing there blocking the light because of their height. "Couldn't handle you eh?" The taller one spoke, "well it seems we're doing a pretty good job at the moment." Again the tone Saru hated the most, and she tried to struggle. When she realized her efferts are in vain she gave up, which she hated mroe because their free hands started unremorsefully wandering up and down her small, curvasceous body. All the while thier incedeous laughter rang so loud in her ears, and finally she snapped, "LET GO OF ME YOU BASTARDS!"

Her eyes shot open in a glare and the boys then fell over unconscious, and when the hallway was still she regained her calm, almost innocent composure and walked to her classroom. However unknown to her, some one had been watching, and he followed her keeping to the shadows.

"Listen up!" The teacher bellowed, "This is Nishizawa Saru-chan, I expect everyone of you to make her less uncomfortable. Now then Today's lesson..." When Saru took her seat she knew not one of them would talk to her, for when she was standing at the front she could see fear and intimidation in their eyes, and it made her smile. That and she had done a quick mind sweep of the students to see what their opinions were of her, not like she cared much anyway, but just to see. Thus began a dull, and very, very long day, right up until the lunch hour...

"Konnichiwa Saru-chan," a pleasant male voice sounded, and her eyes shifted to look upon the face. A boy with long red hair and vibrant green eyes, who seemed unaffected by her cold gaze, "May I eat with you?" He asked politely pulling out a box lunch and sitting without waiting for her answer.

"Wow, seven brothers..." Shuichi said after she had mentioned it, they had been having small talk all this time while eating. However in th midst of the peaceful meal Saru caught a thought of murder, as well as the feeling of a demon lurking near by, and it seems Shuichi has noticed too because even though it was subtle Saru noticed he became tense as well and was searching withouth raising suspicion.

"You know about demons?" Shuichi murmured the question to Saru and she nodded muttering back, "I may know more than you think." She waited a while tracking the thought and finding it's origon, "But I wish it would stop moving." "You can track its movements?" He asked amazed by the knowledge Saru had. "I can track its thoughts, just like your friend Hiei-kun," Saru smirked, "got him."

She sent a peircing glare to the demon who sat perched on top of the school roof, and as the demon tried to struggle Saru kept a strong lock on his body, "Shuihci-kun he's on the roof." "Right," he responded to her and glanced to see the demon as well, and then used one of his deadly seeds to kill him. When Saru felt no more struggle she released the dead body, and focused on eating her lunch. "That it? You're just going to ignore it?" Shuichi asked her seeing her limited interest in the dead demon.

"Not my problem anymore, seeing as it was targeting me, and now it's the Spirit Dectives problem to clean the body before it attracts more demons." She answered with a bit of a smug tone, and added, "You better get on that. Kurama-kun." Saru shot him a knowing glance as he got up with his finished lunch and headed for the rooftops.

After the lunch bell went, she trudged back to her next class, and waited for the day to end. Saru stood out of her desk stretching, that had been one long lecture, and was glad when she could go home and relax with her seven...noisy...brothers, okay almost glad its over. She sighed heading off the school property and started the few block walk home, only to get the feeling she was being followed, and was right as four minds were close behind her.

"Are you going to stalk me or just ask me something?" She asked loud enough for the followers to hear, which one of them was Shuichi-kun, and that wasn't much of a surprise.

"How did you know?" A slick-black-haired boy ran in front of Saru blocking her path. "Easy, your simple thoughts were shouting in my head, and not just your's Yusuke-kun, but Kuwabara-kun's as well." Saru answered, "and if you'll escuse me, I have to get home." She walked past him leaving a gaping mouth and shocked expression on his face, and she could hear Kuwabara's laugh fade as she got further from them.

"Saru!" A familiar voice sounded in front of her, and her locked onto the form of her brother Kyo, she waved calling "Kyonchi!"

"Don't call me that," he thwacked her upside the head as they walked the rest of the way to their house.

"So that's one of her brothers?" Kurama murmured to himself.
