I don't own anything except my oc.


'Yusuke…'

A teenage girl with waist length raven hair and dark brown eyes kneeled in front of the casket that contained her twin brother. Tears rolled down her cheeks as she stared at the picture on top of the casket. The picture was of a smirking teenage boy with raven hair that was gelled back and brown eyes that held mischief.

"You promised…," the girl said softly to the picture. "You promised to always be there for me."

'Why…'

The girl stood up from her kneeled position and walked over to her mother, who was crying. Without a word the girl engulfed her mother in a hug, hoping to make her feel better.

"Yusuke!" Atsuko wailed as her daughter tried to comfort her. "Why did you have to die?! Maiko, why did he have to die?!"

"Shh mom," Maiko said softly to her. "It's okay."

'Why did you die?'

Maiko noticed the principle walking over to them. She let go of her mother and softly told her that she needed some air. Quickly, Maiko walked out the door before the principle saw her. When she was outside, Maiko wiped away any trace of tears that were still on her face with the back of her hand. She fixed the black dress she was wearing by smoothing out the wrinkles. She looked around and scowled at some of the students and teacher there.

'Why are they even here? It's not like they care,' Maiko thought as she saw some students laughing.

Maiko growled in annoyance at them. 'I bet they just came for extra credit.'

Sighing in anger, Maiko looked up at the sky and almost screamed in shock. There in the sky was her brother and some weird blue haired lady on an oar.

'It can't be.'

"Yusuke," she said a bit loudly hoping that no one was paying any attention to her. "Is that really you?"

Yusuke looked at his sister in shock. Here he thought that no one could see him and now his sister is staring straight at him.

"Sis," he asked unsurely, "You can see me?"

Maiko just nodded and continued to stare at the ghost of her brother. Yusuke flew toward her until he was right in front of her face.

"How?" he asked.

"How am I supposed to know?" cried Maiko quietly not wanting people to think she was crazy. Though she was beginning to think so herself. "I just came outside after I tried to calm down our mother!"

"Is she all right?" he asked softly with a hint of concern in his eyes.

"Barely," his sister mumbled, "She's been crying ever since you… you died."

Yusuke looked down in shame and was quiet. Maiko got worried and tried to touch his shoulder but her hand went through him.

"Right forgot you're a ghost now," she mumbled as her brother laughed. "So are you going to explain?"

"Saved a little brat from getting hit by a car, only to find out after I died that the kid would live with one less scrape," Yusuke explained in a bored tone. "Now I get to choose if I want to stay a ghost until the Spirit World has enough room or I can go through with this ordeal thing and get me body back."

"Bro, you better do the ordeal," said Maiko with a small smile. "You still have a promise to keep."

"Sure, for you," Yusuke answered.

"Also you have to do it for Keiko, mom, and Kuwabara. You can't forget about them."

"Yeah whatever." Yusuke grumbled.

"By the way, who's that blue haired girl on the oar?" Maiko asked as she stared at the said person.

"Oh, that Botan," answered Yusuke as Botan flew down to them. "She's the suppose Grim Reaper."

"Hello there," Botan said cheerily with a wave.

"Hey, so you're the Grim Reaper? Not what I expected." Maiko said.

"I know," Botan said with a smile. "By the way, how can you see us?"

"Don't know?" she answered with a shrug.

"Mmm, Koenma will be interested in this," Botan thought out loud.

Maiko gave her brother a confused look which he returned with a shrug.

"Well, I better get back," Maiko said as she turned around. "You better come back, bro. Don't worry; I'll keep your body in top condition for when you return. I might even let Keiko help."

Maiko left with smile on her face as she heard Yusuke protest.

"Don't even think about it!" she heard him yell as she closed the door behind her.


Maiko walked over to Atsuko and noticed that everyone was already gone.

'How long was the talk?'

Maiko knelt in front of her mom and gave her a smile which shocked her. She leaned forward and gave her a hug.

"Mom, don't worry," she whispered in her ear. "Yusuke's coming back. Don't ask me how, but he's coming. We just have to keep his body safe."

Maiko pulled a bit away and looked at Atsuko. She stared at her daughter in amazement before she nodded in agreement.

Maiko helped her up and lead her to her room so she could sleep. When she walked pass the casket, to go to her room, she stopped and faced the picture.

"You better come back," she said to the picture, before she headed to her room.


Okay people, this is my first Yu Yu fanfic so I'll love it if you reviewed. Lots of people probably wrote one like this, but I don't care. I'm doing this for fun. Next chapter will be longer, promise.
