A/N: Hi everybody! I'm bored, so I thought, hey, why not make use of my fanfiction account and write a story? So I did.
Chapter 1: Save me from myself!
A young girl walked quickly down the street, her normally pale cheeks burning with shame as the jeers died away from her ears but not from her mind. She had just moved from America to Japan when her dad got divorced and transferred. He had wanted to move back after he married he American mother, so he had taughther Japanese as well as English. Great, the home of her favourite animes, good food, cool culture, no downside, right? Wrong. From the moment she stepped off the plane, she had been constanly stared at. Between her dirty blond hair and soft green eyes, she stuck out like a sore thumb. At least she was sort of short, so she didn't tower over everyone, too. From her first day at school, she had been laughed at. She was completely pale in a sea of dark skinned, black haired people. To make it worse, the teachers here always post test scores and their names beside them. For some reason, her name had the annoying habit of appearing at the top of the list. Kira Brianne Reilly. And every time that happened, even more people gave her death glares.
Just my luck that I was born in a world without a Kurama to get better test scores than me, Kira thought with a sigh. Well, she had better get home before her dad got worried. At least he was somewhat cool, unlike her mother. Just then, she stopped, staring at her watch. Shimatta! she glared at the watch, which read 5:00 PM. She looked around, realizing it was starting to get dark. She looked frantically for a short cut, and rushed towards the only one she saw: the park. (1)
She ran through the blooming sakura trees, brushing the twirling petals out of her hair as she ran. Suddenly, she tripped over something in the dark. She looked back at the bulky object, screaming as the sun's last rays illuminted the frightened death mask of a demon. She picked herself up and ran even harder, occasionally tripping again, but not bothering to look this time, knowing that she was tripping over was more bodies. Finally, she came to a halt next to a lake, panting heavily. She had not encountered any more bodies for the last quarter of a mile. Though she wanted to put more distance between herself and the bodies, she couldn't run any farther without a rest.
Someone else's P.O.V. The girl dropped to the ground in exhaustion, after running for so long. The demons had been following her for some time, but he had been killing them to protect this girl. He shivered his scales, allowing a powerful sleeeping drug to float into the air around him. Her breating evened out, and the man scrutinized her with golden cat eyes. Satisfied that she was asleep, he stepped out of the shadows. His body was humanoid, but it was completely covered in dark green scales. A thatch of flaming red hair was matched by his scarlet leather clothing. Too bad she had to find out about demons now, or she wouldn't have been told that she was... well, perhaps he could tell her when she woke up.
With a noncommital grunt, he hoisted her over his shoulder and made his way back to the portal. His master would not like the fact that she had been informed this early.
- Several hours later -
Kira groaned as she sat up. She was in a bed in a completely white room. Even the sheets were white. A window stood open nearby, letting a soft breeze in and brushing soft white curtains in front of her view outdoors.
"Good, you're up. I thought that you would sleep for a couple more hours at least, though," a friendly voice said from her bedside. Kira looked towards it and was surprised to see an attractive young man with soft brown hair and lively grey eyes.
"Am I dead?" she asked quite calmly.
He chuckled, "No, but you're not on your planet anymore."
"Oh," she replied, still calm. Well, this is a nice dream. Maybe I dreamed that other stuff, too. After all, I watch too much YuYu Hakusho for my own good. The man next to her chuckled.
"Interesting that you should bring that up. I am sorry to inform you that this is not a dream, however much you may soon wish it to be."
"Did you just read my mind?"
"Yes," he replied with a smile. This dream just keeps getting stranger and stranger. "Well, now I suppose you will be wanting to know what you're here for?" Kira didn't even bother to answer that, "Yes, well, like I said, it's interesting that you should bring up YuYu Hakusho right now, since thats where you're going."
Kira smiled patiently. It all made sense now. She was in a hospital, probably because she got hit over the head really hard, resulting in strange dreams. This poor man had probably wandered out of the mental ward.
"Now I know this is going to sound a little odd, but you have a very important job to do there. You see, your family has been the gaurdians of the realm you know a YuYu Hakusho for several generations. There are quite a few dementions, and you're going to become a gaudian. Normally I wouldn't pick someone so young, but it comes from your father's family, and he's too old, so I'm afraid you're stuck with it," Kira couldn't help herself. She laughed. He scowled, "This is no laughing matter! You have to go now! It may be several years before you go back to your home realm, or see your father again."
Kira sobered, "Alright, alright! Sheesh, you can't blame me for not believing you, though."
"Well, I suppose I should tell you a little more about tings first. To start, my name is Dameon. I am the ultimate ruler of the universe," Kira was stunned. Now that wasn't a claim you heard every day! "Second, I am something like Koenma in that I choose people to look after and protect the different dementions from doom and destruction. You know, the usual stuff. So, my last gaurdian was a distant cousin of yours, but he was recently killed in a battle. You will, of course, be supplied with extra strength and speed. Also, the world around you will now answer your call, no matter where you are. Understand?" Kira nodded dumbly, "Good. If you need me, call me on this," he tossed her a small cell phone. When she raised an eyebrow he continued, "Hit the call button and I will answer. There will b someone waiting for you on the other side to help you settle in." She just kept staring at him. "Goodbye." he said pleasantly.
Kira found herself falling through the bed and into a realm of complete darkness, She was buffeted by wind and whipped throuh the darkness. Suddenly, she fell back into the light and onto her butt. She let out a small 'ooph!' and found herself in a different park, looking into the eyes of a young girl. Kira jumped back as well as she could on the ground. The girl was a bit taller than her, which wasn't much of an accomplishement, really. Her hair was a brilliant pink, and her eyes matched. Oh, yes, she was in YuYu Hakusho, alright.
"Hi, I'm Callie! What's your name?" Callie giggled. Kira sweatdropped. The girl was way too happy. Wait, did she just sweatdrop? Wow, she could do that now!
"Kira," sh replied.
"Nice to meet you! I'm supposed to teach you about your powers, but we'll do that another day. For now, let's just get you to your new home!" Callie jumped onto a nearby stick, which floated obligingy next to Kira, "Hop on! My broom is in the shop, but I can still temporarily bewitch a stick to fly."
Kira warily sat on the end of the stick. The girl immediatly took off and flew quickly but skillfully to an apartment complex. At least her driving isn't as bad as Botan's, Kira thought ruefully. Callie let her off onto a balcony on the fifth floor. They quickly went inside. Kira gasped at the lavish apartment. Everything was at least fourth class. Callie smiled.
"Dameon always takes very good care of his gaurdians. You will have food delivered here once a week. Oh, and here," Callie handed Kira a credit card, "This is for you. It goes directly into Dameons account. Use it if you need anything.You will start at Meiou High School tomorrow. (2) Your uniforms are in the closet."
Kira started, "Meiou? As in the placewhere Kurama goes to school?"
"Yes, you need to keep track of where the spirit detectives are so you know when something is going on in the spirit world. Don't worry, though, you don't have to even tell them that you're the new gaurdian. In fact, you're not supposed to. You'll be called on only if the world has a chance of being desrtoyed, so keep that phone on you at all times. Get some rest. You'll need it since we'll be starting to train you tomorrow."
"Training?"
"Sure. You have new powers, you need to know how to use them. See you right after school, at the place we first met in the park." Callie jumped off the balcony onto her stick. "See ya!"
Kira watched as Callie whizzed away. She then turned and collapsed onto her new bed, her head spinning. Today had been a long day, and tomorrow was going to be longer.
A/N: End chapter one! Ok,see you next time for my new series.
1) Has anyone else noticed that bad things always happen in the park?
2) I know Kurama's school is an all boys school, but I needed it to fit!
