Hi everybody! Snowy here! This is my first fan fiction here on this site. Reviews and suggestions are greatly appreciated. Also, I may be slow updating as I tend to get bogged down with school work. =_=; Anyway, please enjoy "The Hunt for the White Phoenix".

Disclaimer:I do not own Yu Yu Hakusho or any of its characters. The only characters I own in this story are Kira and Mimi. (Obviously! ;P)

Chapter One: The Hunt Begins

Kira looked around her dorm room at Meiou Private High School and sighed.

Why did I come here? She thought to herself with a sweat drop. The school was full of highly intelligent students, but many of them were self-centered and preppy, especially the girls. The worst of them were always surrounding the top student of the school, Shuichi Minamino.

Like most of the girls at the school, Kira was also attracted to him. His brilliant green eyes and flaming red hair made for an eye catching combination. And not only was he intelligent and handsome, he was also very kind and brave. Just the other day, he'd rescued a little girl from a burning house. Of course, this only added to his popularity even more. Those fan girls of his just followed him around like he was the only boy on earth. In truth, this irritated Kira even more. Perhaps it was because she, too, had a huge crush on him. But she was far too shy to even say hi to him.

Her roommate, Mimi, walked up behind her, interrupting her day dreams.

"There you are!" she said with her characteristic mischievous grin.

"Mimi!" gasped Kira in shock, placing her hand over her chest. "Don't scare me like that!"

"Staring at Shuichi again, I see."

"I am not!"

"Oh, just go talk to him! We all know you like him."

"N-no, I don't! I'm not like all those fan girls of his!"

"Go talk to him! He won't bite you!"

"No! Besides class is about to start."

"Ugh, you're no fun at all, you know that?"

Kira laughed as she grabbed her school bag off her desk and walked out the door. Mimi walked along side Kira as they made their way to their Chemistry class. Unfortunately, it was also Lab day.

"Mimi, please try not to blow anything up this time…"said Kira as they entered the room. "I'm pretty sure Mr. Takado doesn't want to deal with another green goo incident."

"Ok, that was an accident," she replied while trying not to laugh, "and besides, how was I supposed to know that overheating the solution would make it gooey and explode?"

"Oh, so, all the other explosions were intentional?"

"You know what I meant."

Kira took her seat next to Mimi and set up their lab table. Shuichi came in a few moments later, and sat at the table next theirs. This was the only time Kira had ever seen him alone.

"Excuse me," he said politely. "May I see your notes from last week?"

Kira looked up from her book and was startled to see him standing next to her.

"Y-yes, of course," she said timidly. She heard stifled gasps from some of the other girls in the class. Mimi giggled beside her. "Here you are."

"Thank you," he said. "My name is Shuichi Minamino. And you are?"

"My name is Kira Lunada," she said calmly. "It's nice to meet you."

"It's a pleasure to meet you as well, Miss Lunada."

Shuichi took his seat as Mr. Takado entered the classroom.

"Ok, class, the lab directions are in front of you," he said loudly. "Get to work!"

With that, Kira went to retrieve several chemicals from the closet in the back of the room. She handed Mimi a bottle of sodium hydroxide and a small waterbottle.

"Put some water in the beaker and don't add anything to it until I get back," said Kira as she continued to gather chemicals.

But no sooner did she get back to the lab table, Mimi dumped all the chemicals into the beaker. The liquid began to boil, causing the glass beaker to shake violently.

"No, Mimi, don't-!" Kira shouted, but it was too late. A loud bang rattled the windows of the school. When the smoke cleared, the room was covered in two feet of a thick, white foam. Kira popped up out of the foam, but it was nearly impossible to see her because she was covered in it. Some of the kids in the back coughed and wiped the foam off themselves.

"Damn it, Mimi!" said Kira sharply. "This is the fifth time this month!"

But all Mimi could do was laugh. Kira sighed as Mr. Takado approached the two of them.

"Go visit the principle's office, Miss Yasatori," he said pointing to the door.

"Yes, sir..." sighed Mimi as she got up.

Kira dried her hair with a towel as she went to open the window. Cool air filled the room and rustled the curtains.

Such a nice evening. She thought to her self as the breeze blew through her long, dark brown hair and her deep blue eyes sparkled in the magnificent sunset. At that moment, Mimi burst through the door.

"How'd it go?" Kira asked as she grabbed her purse.

"I got a week of detention," said Mimi frowning. "Where are you going?"

"Oh, I need to get some fruit from the market," she replied. "I'll be back soon."

Kira left the girl's dormitory and walked quickly to the market. But she sensed that she was being followed. Turning quickly into the entrance, she hid herself in one of the aisles. Three eerie men, dressed in black suits, passed her hiding place. They seemed to be searching for her, so she decided leave before they found her. Kira ran from the store only to find two more of them waiting outside.

"Hey, we've been looking for you there, missy," said the taller, thinner man.

"Lord Yomi is waiting for you," said the other shorter, fatter man.

Lord Yomi? Why...does that name sound so familiar? And why am I so afraid of hearing that name?

"Wh-what do you want from me?" Kira stuttered frantically.

"So you found the White Phoenix, eh?" asked one of the men who had come up behind her.

"What are you talking about?" she asked in confusion.

"Don't play dumb with us," said another man. "Let's go. Lord Yomi will be quite cross with us if we're late bringing you."

One of the men grabbed Kira's arm, and proceeded to drag toward the park, where a strange portal was waiting for her. But Kira screamed and managed to break free from his grasp.

"After her!" shouted one of the men.

Kira ran as fast as she could, turning quickly down an alley way in an attempt to lose them. But it was a dead end.

I'm gonna die! She thought as the strange men closed in on her.

Well, I hoped you enjoyed the first chapter! Chapter two will be coming soon! Don't forget to review!

Until next time,
