Author's Note: I don't own Yu Yu Hakusho, but I do own the story that is being typed. This is one of my earlier writings so it's kind of cheesy. I do hope you like it though and review weather it be good or bad I'd like to hear.

Chapter 1

I was just like any other junior high kid. Till I came down with some rare disease, my dad wouldn't even tell me the name. He just said that is was so rare that it didn't have a name yet. Well not to soon after I was diagnosed I died, sort of. All I know is that when I supposedly died darkness surrounded me, I felt so alone for the first time in my life. But unlike how some people say that there's a light, and a tunnel. Well let me tell you there wasn't for me. I started to hear people talking, I could hear there thoughts as if they were my own. There dreams seemed like they were mine. The pain, and sorrow that they felt at that moment, I could feel all of it. Each emotion mine, yet not.

Then the darkness slowly began to fade and my eyes slowly opened. All I could see was the ceiling, as I stared strait up. Moving slowly I got myself into a sitting position, so I could take a better look around. What I found shocked me little. Laying face down, sprawled on the floor was my father with a bottle of 'lord knows what' in his right hand. Upon looking around the room, all that was visible was a layer bottles, papers, food, and cloths. It looked like a tornado swept through the place. Next I hear some moaning coming from my fathers still form. Then he quickly got up and ran in the direction of the bathroom . Once in the bathroom all you could hear was the sound of vomiting. Father never was known for holding his liquor well. First you hear some more moaning then some groaning, then father came staggering out of the bathroom and leans on the doors frame. Groggily he looked in my direction, then fell on the ground asleep again.

"Oh father why do you drink if you know you can't hold your liquor?" I asked sarcastically to no one in particular as I started to stand. As I did I felt a slight restriction on my legs. When I looked down I saw I was wearing a kimono and I was wrapped right over left for death. Moving as quickly as I could with the restrictions of the kimono, I made my way over to my father and started to try shaking him awake.

"Father, father come on wake up," I said screaming trying ot understand what was happening. He began to moan groggily but did nothing else. Standing up again I ran into the kitchen, grabbed the largest blow I could find, filled it up with water, and ran back to where father was laying. When I reached him I dumped the water on him, giving him a start as he jumped up now wide awake.

"Wha... what the hell just happen," he asked in wonderment as to why he was all wet. Then he noticed me standing 5' 3" to his 3' 6" sitting down. His black hair was wet and disheveled, his clothes were crumpled and well worn as if he'd worn them for a few days.

"Father what the hell is going on and why am I in this white kimono?" I asked trying to make sense of what was going on. But the only answer I got was my father stumbling over his own words and saying something incoherent as if he'd seen a ghost. After a few moments of father freaking out he fainted on the floor. So instead of trying to wake him up again I went to my room to change my cloths. When I was done I dragged my father to his room and setting him a very messy futon and covered him up, then I started to straiten up the house. It was weird father wasn't usually this messy in his house keeping habits. While cleaning I found father's cell phone lying on the floor so I hooked it to its charger. Picking up a calender I looked at the date that wasn't crossed off and was surprised by what I saw. It had been two weeks since I'd been sick from school but out of those two weeks I could only remember one of the weeks.

'Did I really die or am I dreaming,' dropping the calender I looked for a news paper that I knew father had delivered to us every day. Finding it in a pill of recycling I pulled it out and looked for an obituary, hoping not to find one. Much to my horror there it was my obituary, I really had died. But if that was true why am I breathing, walking around, and everything. Lucky for me my obituary was very small and father doesn't usually tell people what's happening a lot of the time.

A knock on the door drew me from my thoughts. I got up walked to the door to see who it was. When I opened the door I got a surprise I wasn't expecting.

"Hello Raven, I just came to see if you were feeling any better?" one of my class mate's said with a smile on her face. She stood about as tall as me, with shoulder length brown hair, dressed in her school uniform.

"I'm feeling much better now, thanks for you concern. I hope you didn't go out of your way to see how I was doing Keiko,"

"No don't worry about it I also came to drop off your homework from this week. The teacher said your dad didn't come to pick it up like he did the week before," Keiko said handing me a bundle full of papers.

"Thanks. Would you like to come in for some tea if you have the time," I said standing aside to let Keiko in. "Don't mind the mess, father also hasn't been feeling as well as usual,"

"Well are you sure you feel okay enough to walk around?" Keiko asked with concern in her voice, as she sat at the small table in the living room.

"Don't worry about it I feel like a new person," I said as I brought out a bamboo tray with a pot of tea and two tea cups on it. After setting the tray on the table I took the small pot and pored the warm liquid into the cups, I then handed one to Keiko, then picked mine up and took a sip.

"Uh Raven I heard rumor at school that your obituary was in the paper, I was wondering if that was true?" Keiko asked nervously. When I heard that I nearly choked on tea. "Are you okay?"

"Yeah... (cough) yeah I'm fine its just that I've been asleep so much that someone might of said I slept like the dead, but other then that I had no idea," big lie on my part "Sorry to have to shoo you out so soon but I have to finish cleaning up around here before tomorrow And thank you for bringing me my homework,"

"Any time see you at school then bye," Keiko said closing the door behind her.

"Man that was to close. Maybe I could say that they made a mistake and that the Raven Shintaku in the paper is someone else and not me. They'll never buy that, anyways back to cleaning then homework,"
