~*~ Winds of Thyme Chapter One- New At This ~*~
Disclaimer: And heeere it is, my 'kinda' serious fic. Well, don't you all start clapping at once! *hears no clapping* Fine... I know what you want... I don't own Yu Yu Hakusho... *still hears no clapping* THAT WAS A DIRTY TRICK!!! *Bingo sounds* Oy... Why me?
"Attention, Class, there will be a new student coming today," Their teacher's voice droned on and on, managing to talk about boring English assignments and the new student at the same time.
"I wonder who the new student will be," Ryuzo Asitaka said. He was of average height, with unruly black hair covered by a backwards baseball cap.
"I hope it's a hot boy," One of the girls said.
"Naw, I'm hoping for a chick," He declared, and everyone burst into laughter. Everyone, that is, except one boy in the back. He was tall, graceful, and had beautiful long red hair. His name was Minamino Shuiichi, or Kurama.
Of course he wondered who the new student was. He just preferred to keep his feelings about that inside. And he did. So I feel no reason to put it here, as I do not know.
The teacher turned towards the door. "She should be here by now," He said.
"Aha!" Ryuzo whispered, which made everyone laugh again. Just then, the door opened.
"Ohayo Gozaimatsu," A feminine voice said. "Atashi wa Takanouchi Sakura."
"Class," The teacher said, "This is Takanouchi Sakura, the new student. Please take that desk in the back corner." Sakura walked over to that desk and sat down. She was quite short, but wore boots, which were against the uniform code. They boosted her height considerably. She was blond, but wore her hair in braids. She was immediately swamped by questions such as,
'Where did you come from?' 'What's your Zodiac Sign?' (Ryuzo) And, 'Is that your true hair color?' Sakura laughed lightly and answered all of them. "I moved here from Kyoto, I'm a Leo, and yes, I am a blonde," The kids laughed, and this time Kurama laughed with them. This new girl, Sakura, intrigued him.

"What is it now, Koenma?" Yusuke said, as they barged in to his office where he was busy stamping papers with his red stamp thingy. "New and Worthless Law against Demons- Pass! New Beach home- Sure! Pass, Pass, Pass..." The papers were flying from his desk before he realized that the Tantei were standing in front of his desk.
"Oh, hey, guys, didn't see you there," He said. "You said it was something important," Yusuke said as he banged his hand on the biggest stack of papers on his desk.
"Oh, yes! I remember now!" Koenma said.
"You didn't even remember why you called us here?" Kurama asked with a hint of amusement in his voice. Koenma jumped out of his chair and went over to the TV, grabbing the remote on the way. He pressed several buttons, and an image popped up on the screen.
"Jazzercise?" Yusuke said, about to burst open in laughter at the thought of Koenma doing Jazzercise.
"No, Argh- This!" He said majestically, as another image popped up onto the screen. This was of a forest in Makai.
"You know about that misson last week, to a section of the Makai forests?" He asked, seeing if they still remembered.
"Yes," Kurama said. "When we got there, the demons were already killed."
"Know I know why," Koenma said. He pressed another button on the remote, and an image popped up on the screen.
It showed a person, who seemed of high-school age, who was cloaked in a blue cloak that covered every inch of him. He approached the demons, and then threw several shuriken at them. They whizzed right through them, coming back like boomerangs, and he caught them in one hand without injuring himself! He then strode out of the forest, leaving the dead demons there. Koenma then pressed the fast-forward button. In seconds, a confused Reikai tantei wandered up to find their mission already done. Koenma pressed another button.
"Double Time!" Came a perky voice from a Jazzercise tape. Yusuke and Kuwabara couldn't help it and burst open in laughter, Kurama laughed lightly in that way of his, and Hiei just hn'd.
Kuwabara then stood up and got a more serious look on his face. "Hey, toddler, can we watch that tape again?" He asked.
"Sure, but don't call me toddler," The toddler answered. He pressed another button and that masked figure popped up again. Kuwabara stared at him for a long time.
"Hey, you guys," He said, "I think this guy's a girl." "Say what?" Yusuke said. Kurama's eyes widened, and Hiei looked slightly fazed. "How do you tell?" Kurama asked. "I dunno, there's just something about this person that makes her seem... like a girl," He said, for lack of better words. Yusuke doubled over in laughter. "Kuwabara, you really are an idiot. Let's go now. "He then left, still laughing.
Kurama turned and started to leave, and was suprised when the short (but powerful) fire demon got up and left with him. "So, what do you think?" Kurama asked once they had left Koenma's office. "Hn. I think whoever that person is, they're making our job easier, so I don't care," He answered. Kurama sighed. Now he had two people that intrigued him. He turned and headed back to Ningenkai. His mother was probably waiting for him. Hiei was gone, probably spending the night in a tree somewhere.
Koenma was all alone in his office. With a shifty look in his eyesm he locked the door, locked the windows, and closed the blinds for all the windows. He then turned on the TV. The sounds of, 'And one! And two! Lift those legs! You can do it!' Filled the room as the toddler started punching the air.
