Now most of my faithful readers have gotten used to my character Yara. But, in this story, she is being replaced by Ana. I have realized that my first idea for Yara had changed into an outgoing girl. But I wanted her to be quite and violent. So, hopefully Ana can realize my dream. And Sara is the replaced version of Nikki. I personally never wanted her name to be Nikki, but it had just ended up that way.
WARNING: As I was typing the second chapter I realized I began to throw things in that most people might not know about. I personally have seen the entire series from beginning to end and may know more that most people of so you might what to wait to read or be prepared for spoilers. So, on with the story! '
Narita Airport, Tokyo Japan
The airport was crowded with people. Some coming in to catch their flight, others having just returned from vacation. But everyone seemed to stop and stare at a small group of teenagers before heading off on their way. The group was a mix of male and female, some hugging each other and others simply talking. One of the teenagers was standing at 5'6" with raven black hair slicked back with enough gel that it shined in the light. His chocolate brown eyes were glaring darkly at a young blue haired girl. He wore blue jeans and a white muscle shirt with white and blue sneakers. The young girl with blue hair stood at about 5'2", her purple red eyes glared darkly back at the boy as she waved a hand holding some papers around his face. She wore a pink colored kimono with a white and blue sash around the midsection. The boy did nothing to grab the papers but just watched as they waved back and forth across his face.
"Yusuke Urameshi! You're such a jerk!" the girl cried before turning around and storming away with a loud huff. With her exit came the entrance of another girl standing about 5'2" with brown hair that hung down her back. Her dark brown eyes look sympathetically toward the blue haired girl before turning toward Yusuke. His chocolate eyes were surveying her blue high school uniform and the skirt that stopped halfway down her thighs. The girl blushed lightly and realized that Yusuke wasn't walking toward her to do flip her skirt today.
"Hey Kayko! Love the skirt," Yusuke said. Kayko, the brown haired girl, huffed but walked over to Yusuke. Even though she huffed, inside she was relieved that Yusuke didn't try and flip her skirt. I could have flipped her skirt. But then everyone nearby would have seen her. Why do I suddenly care? Oh yeah. Yusuke thought as his mind flashed back for a second. He didn't have long to flash back for Kayko began to speak.
"Why was Botan so upset?" Kayko asked. Yusuke growled lightly and turned his head away. "Yusuke. Was she upset cause you were trying to weasel your way out of this vacation? A vacation that Kurama's mother paid for in full? The vacation in America with Kurama's mother's friends? The one-"
"I get it! Listen, I just don't want to leave you," Yusuke muttered. Kayko smiled lightly and hugged Yusuke, her right hand covering over her left as she looked down Yusuke's back to see the gold band covering her ring finger. Yusuke was doing the same thing as he fell into the loving embrace of his dear wife. As they backed away, Yusuke began to whine. "I'll be gone for a year!"
"It's not as bad as the three years you pulled after you died for the second time," Kayko huffed. Yusuke smiled lightly and looked away making Kayko feel somewhat guilty. As she went to comfort Yusuke she looked at the two bags he had. One she knew was a carry on filled with snacks for the eighteen hour flight. The other was the check in bag which she had packed herself for him. Included was almost every bit of clothing that he owned and a picture of the two of them during the wedding. As she stared at the suitcase she began to wonder if the amount of clothes she packed would be sufficient enough for the year that he will be gone.
"I have to go get my tickets from Botan," Yusuke suddenly said bringing Kayko out of her thoughts. Nodding her ok, Kayko turned to find a red head standing behind her. She barely noticed Yusuke leaving her side without his bags as she stared into the red head's forest green eyes. The red head stood at 5'7" and wore crimson pants and a darker red shirt with medium blue sleeves. In his left hand was a handle to a forest green bag and over his right shoulder was a forest green duffle bag.
"Kayko, I wish my mother had gotten a ticket for you. I'm sorry that she didn't," the red head suddenly said surprising Kayko out of her trance.
"Don't worry Kurama! It's fine. I have to get used to the fact that even though we are married, Yusuke will continue to go off on his own," Kayko answered. Kurama, the red head, sighed.
"Still, I wish you could come with us," Kurama stated. Then added, "If only to help me keep everyone in line."
At this Kayko laughed. She knew how hard it is to keep Yusuke, the teenage punk, in line. But knowing that Kurama had to take care of Yusuke, Kuwabara and Hiei, she did begin to feel bad for the red head. Her eyes softened lightly as she turned to face Kurama's eyes again but he seemed to be in a daze.
"Do you know where you guys are going?" Kayko asked. At the sudden change of topic, Kurama looked up surprised. Realizing what she asked Kurama had to smile.
"Not exactly. I mean, I know they are my mother's friends but I haven't met them. So that is another problem I have to deal with. Now that I think about it, want to take my ticket?" Kurama asked while holding out a packet of papers to Kayko. She looked at Kurama with horror.
"Your mother gave you that!" Kayko cried. Kurama laughed.
"I was only joking! You really thought I was serious?" Kurama asked. Kayko laughed lightly trying to get rid of the uneasy feeling that just swept over her.
"No, I mean... Never mind. By the way, are your mother's friends paying for everything?" Kayko asked. Kurama shook his head no and Kayko began to wonder who was paying for everything.
"My mother has a bank account set in my name with, I believe, close to a million dollars. It's set for the four of us to pay for food, clothing, and any travel fare that is needed," Kurama answered. I hope that's enough for the four of us. Kayko smiled and then began to wonder if Kurama's mother was rich. "It's my step dad who has all the money. My mother could barely afford our house before. With being sick and all. I was the one who normally brought in the money. The rest she got from family."
"You had a job?" Kayko asked surprised. Kurama smiled sheepishly.
"Nothing like you might think! I was the landscape artist for the surrounding neighbors. They paid me to cut the lawn, weed the gardens, and water the plants. Sometimes I would go grocery shopping for the elders in the neighborhood and help them around the house. I even would walk the dogs for some other families," Kurama answered. There was a long pause of silence between the two and Kurama watched Kayko for a reaction. And he got one when she suddenly started laughing. Surprised, Kurama stared at her a frown plastered on his face.
"I never thought of you as the neighborhood helper!" Kayko said through the laugher. As she laughed another male began to walk over. He was 6' tall with orangey red hair gelled into an Elvis like style. His blackish brown eyes surveyed over Kayko and Kurama. He wore blue jeans with a white muscle shirt and a yellowish tan overcoat.
"Why is she laughing?" The teen asked. Kurama went to answer but Kayko had calmed down enough to answer.
"Kurama. His job," Kayko gasped lightly. The boy turned to Kurama for clarification. As Kurama explained Kayko couldn't help but laugh again. Soon the boy joined in.
"Why does everyone find it funny that I worked?" Kurama asked slightly upset. The boy was first to answer.
"It's just hard to picture you as a worker. I mean you're like this smart pretty boy to the rest of us," the boy explained. Kurama sighed deeply as Kayko walked over to him. She suddenly hugged him.
"I'm sorry Kurama! I promise not to laugh again," Kayko said. Kurama nodded ok and looked up. As he was about to speak another voice interrupted.
"Kuwabara!" called the voice. Kurama turned to see who it was as Kayko released him from the hug. There stood a girl standing at about 4'10" maybe 4'11" with icy blue hair and the most innocent red eyes. She wore a kimono similar to Botan's except that this girl's was blue and the waistband was a darker blue.
"YUKINA!" Kuwabara squealed before rushing over to the girl's side and smiling like an idiot. Kurama and Kayko laughed lightly as Yukina began to lead Kuwabara back to his stuff and it was then that Kurama realized none of them had checked in yet.
"Listen, Kayko. Do you know where Yusuke is?" Kurama asked. Kayko nodded. "Can you get him over to the check-in station. I have to go grab Kuwabara."
"Going to use me until your on the plane eh?" Kayko jokingly asked. Kurama looked back at her sheepishly before grabbing his two bags and rushing off in the area where Kuwabara and Yukina headed. Kayko sighed and quickly turned to find Yusuke left his bags unattended. With a deeper sigh, Kayko grabbed the handle for the suitcase and threw the other bag over her shoulder. Quickly walking into the crowd she found Yusuke and Botan going at it in front of Genkai, a short old woman with dulling pink hair and glassy brown eyes. Genkai seemed to be enjoying that fact that her heir was getting beat by a girl. Kayko sighed and snuck behind Botan snatching the tickets before Botan could do anything about it. "Stop acting so childish Botan!"
"But! Kayko," Botan began but Kayko would have none of it. Shoving the ticket into Yusuke's hands, Kayko began to get Yusuke ready to head over to the check-in station, where Kurama and Kuwabara were already waiting. It took five minutes for Kayko to send Yusuke over there, mostly cause he still was trying to pick a fight with Botan, but once she did, Kayko left Yusuke in Kurama's capable hands. Or so she hoped.
"Yusuke, can I have your ticket?" Kurama asked, already having confiscated Kuwabara's. Yusuke nodded and slapped the papers into Kurama's extended hand. Rolling his eyes, Kurama watched Yusuke look around. I'm going to come home with gray hairs after this! Wait a second, does Hiei know to check in? Did he check in? Did he have a bag to check in? Damn, I'm acting like my mother. [And you're giving me a headache
