In Which A Story is Born From the Boredom of Homework

L.A.: This is what happens when I banned myself from writing my other stories until the weekend so that I can focus only to find that I have no motivation to do my 14 page journal and 10 page paper that is due Friday.

Amu: Procrastinator.

L.A.: And as you all are probably wondering, this is a self insert but before you go running away screaming for your lives please give it a change. It should be entertaining.

Disclaimer: I do not own Yu Yu Hakusho. If I did it would be rather interesting.

L.A. wasn't really sure what in her life had caused this to happen to her. One minute she was surfing the web, blasting Mamma Mia as loud as possible while trying to avoid her ten page paper and fourteen page journal. The next, she found herself face down on some very wet vividly green grass. With a groan, she sat up and looked around. "What the…" She trailed off as she stared at the bright green trees and the deep blue lake off to her right. "Where am I?" She wondered aloud as she stood up. "And why the hell is everything so damn colorful."

"Ah," a voice said causing her to start. "I see that you are awake."

Whirling around she found herself staring at a gnome like man with a pointy gray beard and a red pointy hat.

"I am Bartholomus," the gnome began. "I was bored and you seemed like a randomly uninteresting person so I decided to bring you here for a game."

"I was kidnapped by a gnome," L.A. said as she raised an eyebrow.

Bartholomus growled as he clinched his fists. "I am NOT a gnome. All my clothes were dirty and this was the only one I had left." He glanced to the side. "Besides, my grandma knitted it for me."

"Well, she did a good job and…wait a minute," L.A. glared. "you kidnap me because you was bored and then you say I am uninteresting." She crossed her arms. "Dude, I'm definitely not playing with you now."

A mischievous grin appeared on his face. "Oh, but you have too. For you see, I have something of yours."

"Oh, and what's that?" L.A. asked.

"Your muse," he said, looking very pleased with himself.

She laughed. "Amu? Wait, how do you know about her?"

"Fanfiction," Bartholomus said.

"Damn," she muttered. "I knew that would come back to haunt me." Turning her attention back to him she said. "Well, she's imaginary. You can't really take something that doesn't exist."

"Oh, really," He snapped his fingers and a metal cage appeared in midair. Inside was a blue wolf. She had amber colored eyes and wore a crescent moon mask over her right eye.

"Amu?" L.A. said in disbelief.

Amu looked herself up and down. "Wait, I exist now?"

"Excuse me," Bartholomus said.

Amu raised an eyebrow. "You let a gnome steal me?"

"I AM NOT A GNOME!" Bartholomus yelled. "You are leaving." He snapped his fingers and with a yip, Amu disappeared.

"Hey" L.A. yelled. "Bring her back! I need her!"

"Too bad," Bartholomus said. "I've teleported her somewhere in the city nearby. You'll have to find her if you ever want to get back home." He grinned. "Oh, and you only have one day." With a loud laugh, he disappeared.

L.A. let out a growl as she stomped her foot. "Well, this sucks."

Amu landed on the hard road with a loud thump. She was barely able to dodge the semi that came hurtling past her. "Learn how to drive, you moron!" She howled once she reached the sidewalk.

A woman and her son walked towards her. The little boy grinned as he pointed at her. "Look, mommy"

"Stay away from the rapid dog, dear," The woman said as she hurried the boy past Amu.

"What? I am not rapid," Amu said, "and I'm not a dog. I'm a wolf. Learn your biology, woman." This only resulted in more people staring at her weirdly.

Letting out a sigh, Amu started to walk down the sidewalk. Well this was annoying. She had to wait for L.A. to come find her. Knowing how L.A. had no sense of direction what so ever, that would probably take a while.

Amu sighed. "I might as well, enjoy being alive while I wait." An evil grin appeared on her face as she stopped in front of the open door to a candy shop. "Starting now."

Kurama wasn't really sure what to make of the young girl who stood before of him. The young girl had blue eyes and long brownish blond hair which was pulled up in a loose ponytail allowing a few whispies to frame her face. She wore a purple t-shirt that said zippa-dee-doo-da on it and a necklace with a Maori fish hook charm. She appeared normal except for the fact that she kept saying over and over again. "The gnome stole my muse. How the hell am I supposed to find her now?"

Making a decision, he walked up to the girl and tapped her shoulder, "Excuse me,"

"What do you want," She said angrily as she whirled around. Seeing Kurama, she immediately paled. "Oh," she said meekly. "H-hi?"

"I was wondering if…" He trailed off when she poked him. "Um, what are you doing?"

"Making sure I'm not dreaming," She pinched his arm. "Does that hurt?"

"You're supposed to do that to yourself," Kurama said, trying to keep his patience. Obviously the girl was in some sort of shock.

"Oh," She said as she pinched herself. "Ow, that hurt. Why the hell did you let me do that?"

He ignored her as he said. "Are you alright…"

"L.A.," she said. "That's not my real name because I like being mysterious. And, in answer to your question, no I'm not okay. A gnome stole my muse and I have only one day to find her." A grin appeared on her face. "And you're just the person to help me."

Kurama smiled nervously. He wasn't sure why but he felt that his day was about to get worse.

L.A.: What has L.A. have in store for the Yu Yu Gang? Will she find her muse in time? Will the city be able to survive Amu? Will the gnome ever be able to find a change of clothes? Tune in tomorrow for the next part.

Amu: You know you just referred to yourself in the third person.

L.A.: Shut up.
