The Jr. Spirit Detectives
Chapter:1 Who Are They
WHAM!
CRUNCH!
KASPLAT!
That was the sound of a fist breaking a nose, and blood flying into the air in slow motion on the nearest wall. It was a fight between Anadems Scholar and Alex Rose. Anadem's pale face was red with rage, her hand covered her nose. Her blue eyes were aflame, dead set on one target. The navy blue haired girl. Alex. Her hair was loose, thanks to Anadems who tried to pull Alex's hair, but instead caught the bandana that was tied to her hair. Anadems was wearing a short cropped orange jacket, with a blood stained white t-shirt. She had a matching orange skirt, with brown shoes. Her clothes were stained with blood. She glared straight into Alex's amused brown eyes. Alex was wearing a black tank top that read, "I'm not spoiled I just want everything" in pink letters. Alex was wearing a white jean jacket over that. Her skin color was a pretty tan color, and it had a clear complexion . She had a small brown birthmark under her left eye, which some grown men (perverted duh) thought she looked cute. She stood there grinning at the loser on the ground.
"You know, I dislike people like you." She said coolly grinning.
"You broke my nose you bitch!" Yelled Anadems. Alex got up and started walking out of the alley way. Her black pants loosely hanging.
She turned around quickly. "And don't you ever try and take me on, you loser!" She yelled, flaying her arms around. Anadems just glared at her opponents back as she left.
"I'll get her, I swear I"LL GET HER!!" Screamed Anadems.
Alex grinned to herself with her hands in her pockets. "Ha living in Springfield is the life." She laughed to herself. She was walking down the sidewalk going home. Everything went the way she planned, go to school, sleep, and beat up the girl who insulted her, in an alley. Heh life was good. She entered the house, expecting her mom home. "Ma, I'm home!" Alex yelled going into the living room, where she found her mother with her head in her hands.
Alex new something was up, whenever her mom was like that something was always up. "Alex, sit down." Her mom said in a restraining tone. Alex did what she told her. "Do you know what time it is?" She asked.
Alex looked at the clock. "It's 5:30." She said.
Her mom rose her head from her hands. "Exactly young lady, and school ends at what time?" She asked again.
Alex didn't like where this was going. "2:30..."
"Do you have any idea what you put me threw all day?!" Her mother was not happy. "First I get a call from Milton Jr. High's principle. Stating that you fought another boy at school. When in the hell are you going to learn? Then there is the fact that you don't come home straight. Alex, I have told you 15 million times to come home straight. And you never listen!"
Alex just sat there with no emotion in her eyes, with a blank mask. "And the only reason why I tell you to come home is so that you do your FUCKIN CHORES!!" Her mom yelled her lungs out. Alex didn't even flinch, in the inside however she cringed, she had always hated when her mother got angry and started yelling. "This will cease, when we move to Japan, I want you to come straight home you got that?!" Japan, she had always known they were gonna move there. About a month ago, her mother met a man named Toguro Tojo. He was a broad man, well built, he had jet black hair, and he usually wore glasses. Alex didn't like the feel of him, he felt icky.
"Do you understand that Alex?" Her mom asked snapping Alex out of her mind.
"Yes." Was all she said.
Her mom ran her hand through her black hair clearly stressed. "Good now finish packing, we leave tomorrow." Alex got up and left for her room, all that yelling always leaves negative feelings inside her. She always felt dead whenever things like this happen. She was only thirteen, and she always felt dead, can it be stress. Nah. She finished packing her stuffed animals, clothes, shoes and the rest of her school stuff away. It was getting late and she needed to go to sleep. 'I hate this,' that was the last thing on her mind as she drifted to sleep.
Blood was everywhere, bodies lay dead in piles. "Kuwabara! Damn it move out of the way!" A guy in a white shirt and blue jeans yelled. Alex was standing there watching the whole scenery, a guy in some kind of blue suit and orange hair was trying to punch the snot out of some weird creature. The guy didn't notice something crawling behind him. "Kuwabara, move!" She turned her head to see two figures running. The guy in the white t-shirt, as she examined him more closely, she realized he had blue eyes and jet black hair. The other one looked like a female but was clearly male. He was in a red uniform, his hair was red and he had the most purest green eyes she's ever seen. He was carrying something on his back. An unconscious person.
"GYAAAAAARRRH!!!" Alex turned around quickly to see the beast fall, but the crawling creature still crawled toward the orange haired guy.
"Ha, I beat him Urameshi!" He turned around to throw up the v sign for victory, when he saw the creature it was to late. The creature decapitated his head. Blood spraying everywhere. It even got on Alex which she was away a pretty good distance. Her horror, tears came to her eyes. She started shaking.
"No Kuwabara!!" The guy in white yelled falling to his knees. He was crying. Then an arrow was shot. It passed the guy in the red uniform and the torn guy in the white t-shirt. They both looked up and saw it, watching it. Alex saw that the arrow was headed for her, so she ran trying to avoid it. But that didn't work. The arrow caught up to her, impaling itself within her chest, as she turned around. She felt the hot sharp pain, and she hissed having more tears well up in her eyes. She stared at the two guys and the guys were staring at her. She fell to her knees and died.
Alex snapped her eyes open, sitting up quickly. She felt sweaty, and cold. She recalled her dream, and she lifted her sleeping gown hastily. There was nothing there, relieved she settled down into her pillow. 'What's going on?' She thought to herself. She didn't sleep for the rest of the night instead she turned on her T.V.
The next day they were at the airport. Alex had only brought her cd player, and her sketch pad. Her mom was wearing a red business suit, with a red skirt. She wore black heels, her slender legs were made for them. "Mom, is Toguro gonna meet us there?" She asked heading for their planes station.
Her mother never looked up from her book. "Yes, we already picked out a house, most of our things are there like your dresser, and the chinero (big glass thingy that holds figurines. I don't know the English version. It's Spanish sorry). Would it kill you to call him dad?" Her mom asked looking up from her book, to look at her daughter.
"I only had one dad." She said looking away from her mother. Her mother sighed, Alex looked back at her mom who resumed reading her book. As they entered the plane Alex sat by the window. Heights didn't scare her much, but they scared her mother. Her mom grabbed her daughter's hand as the plane took off. Her mother's death grip nearly crushed her left hand. Alex sighed and ignored her mother's panicking attack. She watched the sky as it changed color, giving shapes to clouds. She closed her eyes and fell asleep, hoping her life wouldn't be hell.
Alex felt someone nudging her shoulder. "Alex, sweetie wake up." It was her mom's voice, Alex slowly opened her eyes, rubbing them and then yawning.
She got up from her seat. "We're here already?" She asked in a raspy voice.
Her mother nodded, smiling happily. "Yes, we are and we'll get to see your stepfather too." She giggled. Oh no, her mother was gonna rave and rave until there's no tomorrow. Alex followed her mother out of the plane. As they got out and entered the building, Alex spotted Toguro. He was wearing a dark green buttoned down shirt and black pants. She noticed he was wearing those freaky sunglasses as always. She tugged on her mom's sleeve to get her attention. "What?" She asked. Alex pointed. Her mom drooled at the sight of him. "Oh, what a sexy mother-mmm. If I could take those abs and tie him down on my bed, I would-"
Her daughter cut her off. "Oh, mom please don't continue. I can't take the mental picture!" She gagged. Holding her stomach. They both walked over to Toguro, where her mom kissed him on the cheek.
Alex was still holding her stomach. "What's wrong chibi-chu, plane to much for you?" He chuckled, patting Alex on the head.
"NO! I'm fine really!" She said straightening herself.
Toguro eyed her white t-shirt. "If you are reading this shirt then you have just wasted five seconds of your life. Cute shirt. It seems your always wearing something funny. Now I know what to get you for your birthday." He said snaking his arms around mom's waist possessively. "Come on, the cars waiting outside." He put his other arm around Alex's shoulder, and he lead them out.
Alex got into the car, slipping her seat bell on. Toguro started the car and headed out of the airport. Alex put on her headphones and listened to her Gackt Camui cd. Redemption was on. Alex started thinking about her dream. It left her paranoid, something bad was going to happen, and yet she couldn't quiet put her finger on it. She put her index finger on her temple, tapping it. 'Think, think, think. What did that dream mean?' She thought to herself. An arrow, the death of a man, creatures, and then strangers. "Kuwabara." She said out loud.
Toguro heard what she said. "What was that kiddo?" He asked knowing full well what she said. He looked at her through the rear view mirror.
"Oh, nothing." she said absent mindedly. She laid her head up against the window, and sighed. 'This was going to be the longest day of my life.'
The car had pulled up to a drive way. The house looked really beautiful, the name plate read Tojo, from where Alex could read. Everyone got out of the car, they stood in front of the house.
"Sarah, Alex," Started Toguro, wrapping his arms around their shoulders. "welcome to your new home." He said smiling. Sarah, Alex's mom turned around in his arms and kissed him on the mouth.
Alex jumped out from under her stepfather's arm. "Aw, gross, get a room you two." She said covering her nose and shooing them away with one hand.
"Ha ha, get use to it chibi-chu, you'll be seeing it a lot more. Now that your mom and I are getting married." He laughed boyishly. Alex was burning up, she already hates this guy and now she's gonna be dealing with him twenty-four seven. Great.
"Whatever, can we just go inside please?" She asked putting one hand on her hips and cocking her head to one side.
"Alright, lets go in Toguro honey." Her mom cooed. Toguro nodded and fished into his pocket for his keys. He handed Sarah the keys, and they all, including Alex, headed for the entrance to the house.
"Wow, this house doesn't look any different then our house, back home. I feel so at home." Alex said dripping with sarcasm.
Her mother sighed. "Alex give it a chance, besides you'll love it here." She exclaimed.
"Yeah okay." Alex said crossing her arms her c cup breasts. "Anyway, where's my room?" She asked glaring at her parents.
"Down the left." Toguro said examining his mail. "the rest of your things should be arriving in three days." He finished before turning to Sarah and whispering something in her ear.
"Why that's a good idea!" Beamed Sarah. Alex left before she could even think about what they were talking about. She didn't even want to know, it's probably something mortifying, or embarrassing. Alex checked her things, and organized her room the way it should have been. Once she finished she took out her blankets and made her bed. Her room was dark, good it kept the morning sun's raise from shining through.
"Alex!" She heard her mother call her name. She noticed the smell of her mother's cooking. It smelled good. She left her room following her nose.
"Sweetie I need you to take some of this food next door." Her mother said handing her a basket full of food.
Alex scowled, 'So this is what they were planning'. "What, why do I have to do it?!" She asked already her anger showing signs.
"Please sweetie, Toguro said it'll be good for you-I mean us to make friends with the neighbors." She smiled weakly.
"Fine whatever." She said leaving the kitchen and slamming the door on her way outside, entering the cold outdoors. She sighed heavily, making a vapor of smoke appear. "How annoying." She walked over to the house on her left, it seemed normal enough. She read the name plate on the house to see who were the residents and what to call them, it read Minamino. She knocked on the door. "I'll get it fox boy!" a voice said beyond the door.
A boy with jet black hair and blue eyes poked his head out the door. "Who are you?" He asked rudely.
Alex didn't want to be rude. "Er….oh…um… my name is Alex Rose, I'm your new next door neighbor." She exclaimed awkwardly.
"Not mine." He said, confusing Alex. Alex recognized his face then, the guy from her dreams! Alex quivered. 'How was it even possible for this to happen?' She asked in her head.
"Yusuke who is it?" Asked a voice.
"Well it's your new neighbor I guess." Yusuke said opening the door wide enough for Alex to see who was speaking to him. Her jaw dropped, the guy in red hair, only he's wearing a white shirt and blue pants.
"Hey kid I know he's hot but come on your drooling on your self." Teased the guy named Yusuke.
Alex quickly gained her composer, blushing, a vein popped on her head.
WHAM!
"Ow, what the hell did you do that you brat?!" yelled Yusuke crouching on the floor and holding his head.
"Don't ever think like that again you freak, and another thing it's freaken freezing out here! If you don't mind I'd like to get to know my neighbors where it's warm!" She yelled kicking Yusuke in the butt.
The red head chuckled. "Well you can come in but please don't stay too long, we have an important engagement to attend to." He said moving out of the way. Alex sighed, hoping this wouldn't damage her life psychologically.
She entered and followed the guy in red hair, with Yusuke trailing behind them, cursing under his breath. "So your Minamino-san?" She asked trying to get this over with.
They entered the kitchen, Yusuke must have trailed off somewhere not wanting to be near the so called brat. "Yes that's right, I'm Shuichi Minamino." Shuichi said turning around, leaning on the counter, and folding his arms across his chest. "And you must be Alex Rose, correct?" He asked smiling.
Alex stood there uncomfortable, until she remembered about the basket of food she was holding "Oh, yeah here, this for you Minamino-san." She said handing him the basket. Shuichi took the basket from here.
He set it behind him on the counter. "Well, if you need anything or want to come over, just give me a call." He said smiling at her.
"Yeah, I guess I should be going." She said rubbing her head unhappily, her eyebrows furrowed.
"GRAAW!! STUPID URAMESHI!" Alex heard someone yell. Shuichi lead her through the hall towards the door. As they passed the living room, a guy in orange hair was fighting Yusuke. He threw a shoe at Yusuke and started yelling. "Damn you Urameshi! You cheated!" Alex recognized the guy in orange hair, her eyes widened. She noticed other people there to, a really short guy who ignored the situation, a guy with a blue Mohawk who laughed at the situation and a guy who looked like a ninja with cold eyes. Alex froze there eyes filled with shock. 'Oh crap my dream was real.' She exclaimed in her head.
Yusuke was in front of Alex, back facing her. "I did not you big idiot! You're just mad that I beat you!" He said laughing and pointing at the orange haired guy. The orange haired guy took off his other shoe, and flung it at Yusuke. Yusuke ducked before the shoe could hit him.
Alex saw the shoe headed her way, but she didn't have time to react. The shoe hit her in the face knocking. "Oh, crap now look what you did!" Yelled Yusuke. Kurama noticed Alex wasn't behind him. He ran back to the living room, finding Alex standing there shaking.
"Alex are you alright?" He asked worried that seeing those strange people in the living room were scaring her.
The shoe slid down her face, it left a red imprinted shoe. Her navy blue bangs hid her eyes, and her whole body was shaking. She walked into the room, clenching her fists. She stops in front of the orange haired guy. "Didn't your mother ever tell you not to THROW THINGS INDOORS!!" She yelled clutching the guy with orange hair by the collar. She lifted him up. Everybody looked at her astonished, that she could lift up their friend.
The guy who was ignoring the fight from earlier, had his attention on Alex and the buffoon. Alex punched the guy with orange in the face sending him flying into the couch. The guy started twitching, he regained himself quickly holding his cheek. "That hurt." He said rubbing his swollen face.
"WHO FREAKIN TOLD YOU TO THROW SHIT AROUND THE HOUSE!!! YOU BIG IDIOT!!!" She yelled with her eyes flaming red.
"Er…Alex," Shuichi said tapping her on the shoulder. "Maybe you should go before destroying my house." He said smiling nervously.
Alex snapped out of her rage. "Oh…" she looked around herself, staring at the different eyes on her. "Oops, I uh better be going then." She said turning around to leave. "By Kuwabara!" She said waving back.
As soon as Alex left, they all turned to Kuwabara. "You know her?" Asked Yusuke.
"What are you insane, like I'd be fiends with a brat like that!" Kuwabara said with his fist in front of him.
"Well she seemed to know you, you twit." The guy who was ignoring them before Alex pummeled Kuwabara's face.
"Why you, just shut up shorty!" Kuwabara said heatedly.
This has been riding in my head all day, sorry couldn't resist. Review please!
