Trapped Between Love and Hate!

Chapter 1!

~3rd POV~

Somewhere a little boy ran into the road and was about to get hit by red car, until a young boy pushed the boy out of the way and was hit instead.

"We better call in for an ambulance!" a man said.
"Yeah." Another guy said and headed for a phone.
"I, I swear I didn't mean to…it was an accident!" the guy who hit the boy pleaded.

~Yusuke's POV~

"Okay, this is weird, stupid weird." I said as I looked down at my body. I floated down to see what happened to me. That's when I saw the ambulance. There were two rescue guys one was looking at the boy while the other was looking at my body on the ground.

The guy looking at the boy that I pushed out of the way (who should have listened to me) said that he only had a few scratches. As for the guy looking at me said, "Well at least one of them is," and walked back to the ambulance where they both pulled out a bed thing and rolled it over to me to put my body on.

"Hello I'm right here!" I told them

"Cover this guy up and take the little boy." The other guy said.

"Whoa! You think you can do whatever you want because you got that stupid uniform on! You can't just right me off! Listen to me!" That's when I tried to punch him but my hand went right throw his head. Ok so that didn't work. Well that wasn't normal. Okay Yusuke just think it's not like this is the first time you've been in a jam. Today did start off different, I went to school. Got lectured, left, got in a fight with Kuwabara, and…oh yeah that's when I met that kid. He was playing ball near the street, stupid kid. And…

"So wait, I'm road kill? But if that was me down there, then who am I up here, I wonder. Could it mean, I've turned into a ghost?" I said horrified by the idea. Then I heard someone with a cherry voice.

"Bingo, bingo you win the prize." A girl with blue hair, in a pink kimono and was ridding on a paddle come out of nowhere. Freak me out! "I didn't expect you to figure it out so soon."She laughed.

"Who the hell are you?" I asked her.

"When people die unexpectedly like you just did, often they can't accept it and become ghosts. You see?" she smiled the whole time while telling me this like, "Oh so your dead don't worry everything is just peachy!"

"You're not answering my question!" I glared at her

"Botan's my name the pilot of the River Styx. I take care of people like you. I believe in your culture they also call me the Grim Reaper! Ring a bell?" She asked in a cherry way.

"A pretty girl like you? Please, you're no Grim Reaper." I didn't believe her. "Plus if you were a real messenger of death you'd take this more seriously. Like how grim can you be when you say bingo! You're supposed to wear a big black robe and look like a skeleton!"

"Now I understand what kind of person you are! Its here in my guide book. Rather than be scared or surprised, you yell a lot and tell me I don't kno what I'm talking about. Yusuke Urameshi, age 14. Personality is impulsive and ill-mannered. With a violent temper." Ok that's it I can't take no more. I mean who does she think she is?

Weird girl comes out of nowhere and starts writing me off. This is so not my day. But I guess it can't get any worse seeing as how I'm dead. I mean it's not like no one is going to miss me so I told Botan, "I have no regrets so you can take me to hell or wherever it is I'm going."She just laughed at me. "Ok what's so funny about that?"

"Maybe you should have let me talk about that earlier. I'm not here to take you way from this world. Actually I'm here to see if you'll accept an ordeal that can give you your life back."

"An ordeal, really. What in the world are you blabbering about?" ok now I'm confused. Just what the hell was she talking about?

"It's funny Yusuke no one was expecting you to die today. You've thrown us all for a loop! Run someone with your credentials through that scenario a thousand times and they never would have saved that little kid like that. No one saw it coming and quite frankly we haven't prepared a place for you yet!"

"Oh give me a freaking break are you telling me you guys were expecting that little kid to die?" I asked her while she filliped through her stupid little book.

"Well I wasn't going to tell you this because I knew it would make you even more irritable. But without the confusion caused by you running into the street, that boy would have missed the car and escaped with one less scrape on his right shoulder. "

"What, but he was headed right for him."

"Yes well the driver would have veered to the left. In other words your death was a complete and utter waste!" she smiled.

"WHAT?"

"Surprised? Yes I can hardly blame you. Hahaha!"

"Why you…"

"Cool your jets, silly head, I told you, you could get a second chance don't you remember? Just go through this little ordeal and you can be back to life in no time. So what do you say?"

"Maybe but no thanks." I said while stretching. "I think I like being a ghost, you said yourself my life was pathetic, right? Besides no one would miss me. "

"I'm sorry you feel that way at such an early age. Well I guess there's no point making big decisions in a hurry, why don't you spend some time at your wake and think it over. I'll be back when you decide." She said while she flew away.

"You got worms in your ears, lady? I did decide!"

Mira's POV~

Mr. Takenaka, as usual was yelling at me. It figures the one day I want to come to school I get fused at. Jeez when will this end. I was just about to cut him off when I heard Keiko call Yusuke's name. I swear she's always running around looking or screaming for him it drives me crazy! I just want to…

"Miss. Narumi are you listing to me?"

"Uh… I'm sorry I'm def in one ear could you speak a little louder. I didn't quit get that!" I laughed and started to turn the other way.

"Wait I'm not done talking, get back here!" He yelled

"I'm sorry old man some other time!" then I dashed across the hall way. "Man I swear today is such a drag!"

"Yeah tell me about it." Kyto said. Kyto is my older brother. He's really annoying and stupid if you ask me. But he thinks he's the most popular guy in the entire school just because he thinks he's the best looking guy here. With his short kinda spiky sliver hair and light sliver blue eyes, but I knew better. "So where are you headed in a hurry?"

"Well it just so happens I was…"

"Skipping again?" He cut me off.

"No more like ditching!" I told him

"You know what mom will do when she finds out right?"

"And she never will so it doesn't matter." Said to him before I jumped out the first story window. Yeah I know normal people might use a door to exit but me I'm not like most people. Nothing normal about me! Well with school out of the way I headed to town where something at least might be going on. But today it seems everyone went to school man this is such a drag.

I bet Yusuke's going to ditch just like I did. I wouldn't put it past him if he didn't. I headed to the Hip-Hop Baby to hang out, dance, sing, and have fun. Here everyone knows me thanks to my singing and dancing. Oh for people who don't know Hip-Hop Baby is a club were ages 13 to 25 can go.

When I was done I left the club and started for home. That was until I saw Keiko with her two best friends, crying her eyes out. I wondered what was wrong but I didn't want to bother her so I left her alone with her friends (they could comfort her better then I can), when I saw Kuwabara with his idiot friends, yelling extremely loud for some unknown reason. So I did what anyone else would do I walked over to him and yelled,

"What is wrong with Keiko? And why is she crying?" I yelled at him to give me some answers. He started to say something before he broke down and started crying. "Oh for heaven's sake pull your self together and tell me what the hell is going on!" I grabbed him by the collar and shook him while yelling in his face.

"Urameshi was killed in a car accident." Well his idiot friend can talk, shocking.

"What? Why, how…did this happen?' I asked shocked. My breath was caught in my throat and it felt as if my chest was having a heart attack it ached so badly.

"Well he ran in front of the car to save a little kid. I heard that if you go to his waking, you'll get extra credit." He added.

"I don't care about that. Just tell me when it is?"

"Uh…tonight."

"Great thanks." I said while leaving.

That night I couldn't deside if I should go or just go home. I knew most of the people who did show up would just be there for extra credit I mean no one really cares he's gone except for a few people. I could see the wake from up on the hill I was standing on. Kuwabara was being held back by his lackeys screaming at Yusuke to come out and fight him.

I stood there for a while just watching people laugh about him. I could fell sadness weld up inside me and for some reason I felt tears coming to my eyes. No one, I mean not even my own family has ever seen me cry and now of all times I felt like I was on the edge of losing it. That's when I turned away and headed for home.

It's been about a week now that he's been gone and for some weird reason I've felt like going to school. So everyday, all day I'm at school. My brother thinks something is wrong with me and I can't blame him. I was on my way to my next class when I felt something outside the window. So I looked up in the sky to see what was there.

~Yusuke's POV~

Tons of people from school were here. Most of them were laughing I bet anything that their just here for extra credit. I saw Keiko, she was crying. And even Kuwabara showed up yelling for me to come out and fight. And my mom was crying. I was about to leave when, I saw Mira standing on top of hill watching. I saw something in her eyes I never seen, she was sad. For the first time in my life I saw Mira about to cry over me. I didn't think people would miss me this much. Then Botan came out of nowhere.

"Well?" she asked.

"Ok I'm ready Botan."

"Great lets go!" she left so fast that I got a hold of the end of her paddle.

"Whoa, whoa, where are we going?"

"To the spirit world!"

"To the what?"

"The spirit world silly! There King Koenma will give you your ordeal!" Oh boy here we go!

Here I am floating with Botan (AKA the grim reaper) outside of school, after hearing that my ordeal is about this dumb golden chicken egg. When I saw Mira with her friend Tanya walking to their next class together.

"Wow that makes what, 4 days in a row now that she's gone to school with out skipping?" I said shocked. Then I saw her stop and look up at my direction. She wasn't sad, not that I expected her to be, she just seemed lost. "Uh, shut up I think she can hear us talking about her!"

"Don't worry Yusuke, she defiantly can't see us or hear us. But she might be able to feel you. After all she is one of your girlfriends." Botan laughed.

"She is not!" I shouted back. Botan just kept laughing. Then I noticed Mira was walking away. I guess Botan was right. She can't hear us. Thank goodness.
