Mk…AU story. Your authoress Alena, is extremely bored, and it's like midnight. I have to get up at six…. So yeah, I'm writing. The boys are in a band, Koenma is the manager, and he thinks that the band needs a feminine touch. How are the boys going to react? And yeah, I'm using an OC character. I don't know if there will actually be an relationships… Probably HieiXOC. KuramaXYukina, and YuskueXKeiko, and KuwabaraXBotan. Sorry, I love those couples. Still deciding though.
……………………………………………………………………………………………..
"Koenma… What are we doing here?" Hiei asked flatly. He was reclining back in his chair, watching the room dully. Well, more he was watching his boss dully. Koenma had called this meeting, and the entire band was here. Yes, band. A heavy metal band called Darkness Flame, to be more exact.
Introducing the band members:
Hiei. He was about five foot five. The shortest of the entire band. He had jet black hair, with eclectic blue tips. His hair somehow managed to stand straight up without gel, but was still extremely soft. The white streak that followed the outline of his hair, just about his bangs was new, but just added to his punk, badass look. This look was of course helped by low hanging baggy black pants that were tucked into combat boots and, held up by two white leather belts, over a studded black belt, and a ripped black tee shirt. His eyes were a clear brown color, that in the right light, actually managed to look red. His left ear was home to a silver hoop, and a gauge in the cartilage. Lead vocals.
Next, Yuskue. A good two inches taller than Hiei, putting the boy at about five foot seven. Second shortest in the band. Yuskue's hair was naturally black, but had red highlights going through it. It was gelled back like usual, using insane amounts of gel, which had to cost him a fortune. On the rare occasion that his hair wasn't gelled back, like when they were performing, his bangs hung loosely into his eyes, or his hair creating half inch long spikes when the time was taken to create the hair style. Skin tight, black leather pants, with leather boots, and a blood red, silk button down shirt gave him a sexy, yet somehow sophisticated look. The two silver curved barbells that went through his eyebrow should have thrown off the sophisticated look, but Yuskue pulled if off. Lead guitar.
Kurama. Some would call him a pretty boy. Standing at a respectable five foot nine, Kurama's blood red hair hung nearly to his waist, and was tipped with silver. With his slender physic, and long hair it wasn't hard to mistake Kurama for a pretty boy. And Kurama was a good, respectably boy in school with grades that would give anyone who'd seen him on stage a heart attack, and respecting his elders for the most part. But his ripped, baggy jeans, and black AC/DC tee-shirt gave him a dangerous edge, added to by the two stud in his left ear lobe. His startling green eyes were always alert and extremely intelligent. Bass guitar.
Lastly, Kuwabara. The tallest of the group, and an almost towering six foot one. Kuwabara really didn't have to try hard to pass for a thug, but he was probably the most kind hearted out of the whole group. In conservative plain blue jeans, and a white tee-shirt Kuwabara wasn't the brightest crayon in the box, but he and Yuskue had been friends since the two knew how to interact with another person. His almost orange hair was slicked back into what some would call an Elvis hair do. He was the only band member lacking in piercings of any kind. Drums.
So, now that we've been acquainted with the band, we'll focus more on their current situation. Koenma was the band's manager. Well… Co-manager. The only reason he had anything to do with the band was advertising. His father owned the Reikei music company, but Koenma was close to the band because he'd gone to school with Kurama before he'd graduated. Koenma was a senior when Kurama was a freshmen, so he when Kurama and his band had come into the business, he'd taken the chance to be a part of it. The real band manager, Botan had just been assigned by the company. The bubbly woman, with bright blue hair, and cotton candy colored eyes was energetic, and the exact opposite of what you'd expect to see working with a metal band. It was amazing anyone in the band was still wearing black.
Now, as said before, Koenma was more into the advertisement of the band. And, he had noticed that the band had been having less people coming to their shows as of late. Koenma was convinced that he had a solution for that. So, that brings us up to date with Hiei's question of what they're doing.
Koenma cleared his throat. "Well, I talked to my father about the lack of sales. We both agreed that a new band member would help boost sales. She should be here any minute."
That comment caused an uproar.
"What the hell are you talking about?" Yuskue snapped.
"Koenma, this isn't necessary." Kurama said calmly.
"What makes you think you can do this without asking us?" Hiei nearly growled out. Now, Kurama, Yuskue, and Hiei all spoke at the same time. Koenma was looking between them as Yuskue and Hiei continued to bombard him with questions. They both continued, and Koenma looked like he wanted to wet his pants. He knew this was going to happen, but he still needed to get it done.
Kurama finally spoke up. "You two. You have to stop talking so he can answer." Hiei and Yuskue went silent, glaring at the red head, before looking expectantly back at Koenma.
"Wait… You said she… You're adding a girl to our band?" Kuwabara asked slowly.
Koenma nodded rapidly before Hiei or Yuskue could start on another rant. "Yes. Dakotah is a girl. My father and I agreed that a female input will help the band's ratings. Botan is bringing her in soo…" Koenma was cut off from his little speech as a girl burst into the room. She had pale, pale skin, with purple hair that was obviously dyed. The dye was obvious because about an inch of her roots showed black, and the tips of her hair were blue. Her hair hung down to almost her calves. She was dressed in a black mini skirt that was probably a little too short to be appropriate, with black fishnet nylons, and knee high lace up leather boots, with two inch heels. The heels put her at about five foot four. Her black tank top had a purple cami underneath it, and the tears in the black shirt showed the purple.
"Oy, Koenma, what's up?" She asked, with a thick British accent. "I'm currently running from security. I out smarted them. Two were just really stupid and I managed to slip past them. The other one I sat and had a cigarette with, but I finally distracted him. But if they end up finding me, I need them to know I'm with you. Botan is currently talking to… Someone. I don't know who. Anyways," She trailed off, taking a deep breath. "I'm finally here. Is this your band?"
Koenma sighed, shaking his head. He pinched the bridge of his nose for a moment. "Yes Dakotah, this is Darkness Flame. From politest to least polite, Kurama, Kuwabara, Yuskue and Hiei," He said, pointing them out in turn. "Boys, this is your new band member, Dakotah."
"Ello, boys." She said, turning to wave at the band, her dark blue eyes skipping over each of them in turn, memorizing their faces.
"Koenma, you're kidding." Hiei said flatly. "You don't really expect us to find a way to fit a girl into the band."
Dakotah gave Koenma a curious look. "That don't seem to be expecting me. If you didn't tell them I was joining the band, I don't expect you told them that I'm going to have to stay with one of them," She said, cocking her head to the side. She'd completely ignored Koenma's signs to stop, shut up, something. She smirked at the look on his face. "I'm going to take that as a no. Oh, this is marvelous. Blood marvelous."
"Did she just say, 'Bloody'?" Yuskue asked under his breath before, "Wait what? You're expecting us to include a new…." Yuskue trailed off, looking to Dakotah.
"Guitarist." Dakotah provided.
"Right, guitarist, into the band, but you also want us to accept the fact that she's a girl, and you want us to provide her with room and board?" He finished.
"I'm going to point out that the fact that I'm a girl makes absolutely no difference whatsoever, and that I just need a room, bathroom, ex cetera. I'll feed myself and whatnot. I'm sixteen, so I have my own car." Dakotah said simply. She could take care of herself very well. These boys didn't have to worry a hair on their pretty little heads, so long as she had somewhere to sleep. "I don't even really need a bed; a couch is just as well. I'm more just looking for a roof over my head." She added with a shrug.
"I'm sure my mother wont mind if you stay with us for a little while. We have an extra guest bedroom." Kurama offered.
"Nonsense Kurama. Your mother is getting married in a month. She doesn't need another teen in the house." A new, female voice came from the door that had been opened while no one was paying attention. "We have plenty of extra space, and my parents are leaving for the rest of the summer." A girl with light green hair entered the room, followed by a blue haired woman.
Botan, the girl with blue hair, followed the first girl. "That's probably a good idea. Plus, I'm sure Dakotah would be more comfortable in a house where there's at least one other girl her age."
Dakotah shook her head. "That's perfectly alright, but it is nice to have another girl in the house. I'm Dakotah. Thank you for so generously offering me your home."
"I'm Yukina, Hiei's sister." She said, smiling brightly, offering Dakotah her hand.
"Ah. That would explain the look of death he's giving me," Dakotah laughed, shaking hands with Yukina.
The small girl waved it off. "It's just something you have to get used to. He's always giving someone the look of death. It's just Hiei's thing to do."
"Well, if I'm living with him, I guess I'll have to get used to it, no?"
"That is very true. You must be famished and exhausted from your trip. All the way from England, was it?" Botan asked.
"Yeah.. London," Dakotah replied. "I'm really fine though. What's a couple days without sleep?"
Botan shook her head, taking the girl's arm, while Yukina took the other. "No, no. You need rest. We'll take you back to Yukina and Hiei's house, get you settled in and order some take out. We'll have some bonding time."
"What about the band," Dakotah said, looking almost desperately over her shoulder as she was dragged away.
"You'll get to know them too. Hiei, I expect you to be home for this. You too Kurama. And Yuskue, I'm inviting Keiko, so I'm sure she'll want to see you there." Yukina threw over her shoulder as she walked.
"Don't you miss out either Kuwabara. It would be such a pity." Botan added.
"Well, bye for now, I guess," Dakotah yelled back over her shoulder as she was dragged away by Yukina and Botan.
Hiei wanted until the door had closed behind the three girls, before glaring at Koenma. "I blame you for this entirely. What the hell are you thinking? We don't need a new member."
"Hey, Hiei at least she's hot. And hey, even in heals she's shorter than you." Yuskue said, laughing from where he was lounging in his chair. "But I do have to agree that we don't need another person in the band."
Koenma shook her head. "Don't turn this idea down until you've given it a chance. And you haven't even heard her play. You do that, and I think you'll find a place for her in the band."
"You sound very sure of yourself, Koenma," Kurama stated.
"I am. She used to be part of the Shinoby, but quit."
"Why'd she quit?" Kuwabara finally put some of his input into the conversation.
Koenma shrugged. "I have no idea, but I do know that she's one of the best guitar players I've ever met, and that's saying a lot since I know both Hiei and Kuronue."
The entire group went silent for a few seconds, thinking about the former guitar player. Kuronue is a long, dramatic story, but it's not a story for the moment. Hiei finally shook his head.
"Fine, Koenma. You think she's good enough, we'll see. If not, your ass in on the line," He snapped, with a growl, before pushing off the wall, and leaving the room. That was a signal that the meeting was dismissed. It wasn't any sort of spoken rule, but Hiei was the band leader. He was willing to give this girl a chance, so everyone was.

There's chapter one…. Please read and review. It wasn't the greatest, just sorta setting the scene and what not…. Eh. It's developing and it's three in the morning. I just needed to write. Pretty decent for being written in two hours. Tell me what you think.
