Concrete Angel
By: Hikari-Kayko
A/N: So this story is the product of my muse being forced to relocating with me when I came to Ireland to study. I knew something would go wrong and this was it apparently. It may not be the most spectacular fic, nor the most original, but it sounded good in my head so I though, eh, why the hell not? Also, I have just recently come into the information about what a Mary-Sue is… unfortunately I found out after I fashioned this OC… feckin' ironic, I know. Rori was not intended as a Mary-Sue… she is definitely NOT perfect, and very few people actually like her, and not instantaneously either. SO THERE!!! I don't wanna hear anything about it in your reviews!!! lol
Disclaimers: The character Rori Kanbara and any other peeps I throw in here that you don't recognize are mine! YYH and its characters do NOT belong to my or any other voice running around in my head. Don't listen to Yami leans in and whispers She's crazy!
Yami: I HEARD THAT!!! C
Recommendations: I thought I might add a few good words for some stories I've been reading. Maybe someone will return the favor if they like my yolk.
Not Okay A Hiei/Botan Action/Adventure/Romance. I don't quite know where this fic is headed, but it's incredibly well written and refreshingly original with out dipping into AU or OOC-ness, so give it a toss!
Will and Determination A Hiei/OC Humor/Romance among other pairings. I must admit that at first glance I nearly discarded this story because the grammar is very awkward and I miss took it as a poorly written piece, but upon giving it my habitual twice over I found myself laughing and crying along with the characters. It's a rewrite of Under Construction and it's absolutely brilliant, though not finished yet.
Anyways… onto the story then shall we? #

"So what's the big emergency, and why are we meeting here?" Yusuke asked as the Reikai Tantei entered the empty class room of his school after hours.
"Guys, I'd like you to meet Rori," Koenma announced turning towards them after speaking with another person. Everyone's eyes were diverted to the girl standing beside the young ruler.
She was a tiny little thing, maybe five feet tall, with light mint green hair tied into a braid that trailed down to her waste except for the fringe that hung down to her ears. Her silver-grey eyes were hooded in thick, long lashes and covered by black rimmed rectangular spectacles that made her seem the intellectual type. She wore the blue uniform of their school and Yusuke recognized her vaguely as a face in the halls of the school he rarely attended. He couldn't ever remember hearing her speak and she didn't have any real friends; she usually drifted between crowds, listening in on conversations and smiling every so often. The smile never reached her eyes.
"What about her pacifier breathe?" Koenma scowled at the name calling while the girl quirked an eyebrow. Koenma was in his teenage form, the pacifier disguised as a lollypop.
"I need you to look after her for a while, keep her safe." Rori looked nervously between the four boys then tugged gentle on Koenma's sleeve.
"Koenma-san," Her voice was so soft they hadn't realized it was hear making the noise, but Koenma turned to listen graciously. "They're just school boys. How could they possibly…"
"Hn," Hiei's temper flared at the assumption that he was a Ningen student. "She's weak and an idiot, natural selection would seem to favor her, why waist our time?" Rori's uncertain expression turned to hostile anger in a frighteningly short second.
"Not to be rude, but I wasn't speaking to you…" The soft quality drained from her voice and her eyes flashed with a steely gleam making the boys shift uncomfortably. Hiei scowled back instantly disliking the Ningen.
"Koenma, she wouldn't happen to posses any demonic quail…" Kurama's calm, knowledgeable inquiry was halted.
"So!" Koenma cut in with an unnatural cheer in his voice. "Rori, the team: team, Rori. We'll sort everything out and get back to you tomorrow," He turned to the mint haired girl. "In the mean time, try to be careful." Concern shone through his words. Rori smiled quaintly, her eyes dull, any hint of anger gone again.
"Thank you." She bowed respectfully and picked up her school bag exiting the room with a quick stride. When they were sure she was out of earshot the interrogation began.
"What the hell's going on?" Yusuke snapped annoyed with the Prince's stupid antics.
"Rori doesn't know anything about Reikai, Makai, or its inhabitance. As far as she's concerned she's a normal girl who's just in a spot of trouble." He pulled a file folder out of thin air and flopped it down on the desk in front of them. Yusuke advanced and opened it for them to view.
"Kanbara Rori, age: seventeen, the only hire of millions. She was adopted when she was two years old after being found abandoned in central Tokyo, her biological parents were never found. She lived with the Kanbaras happily until three years ago when her mother was murdered by a band of demons. Her father cared for her until last year when he committed suicide unexpectedly. Now she lives by herself in an apartment a few blocks from here. The group of demons after her is a notorious crime organization in Ningenkai. We think they intended to get to her and killed her mother by mistake."
"So why are they after her anyways if she's just a normal human?" Kuwabara asked studying the file over Yusuke's shoulder.
"Because she's not human," Hiei stated bluntly. "Any fool could tell." Kuwabara would have risen to the challenge but Koenma continued.
"Correct. Rori isn't human… She's an angel."

A/N: Really short I know, but quit complaining, review and go to chapter 2 already!!! lol
A/N: Rori is a character that reflects a lot of me the way I see myself, so hopefully she'll be a good character. If not… well, I might cry. lol. Don't get me wrong though, she is still VERY different from me! I don't want people running off with this idea that I go round like a fire cracker whacking peeps off when they rub me the wrong way or anything else this OC might do! Anyways, this fic will deal with Death, murder, self mutilation, depression and Suicide so if you are uncomfortable with any of those subjects, scoot your caboose, cuz you won't like this fic. Otherwise, enjoy! And review of course. #
