Wow, here we are again. I'm slightly bored and I kept thinking, "Hmm, I need a Yusuke story to read." Seriously, I look all over the Yu Yu Hakusho section, and I get like three or four Yusuke results. What about our main hero?! He needs some OC love too! So, this is where I come in! Here we are folks; the first installment of my YusukeOC stories.

Thoughts
"Spoken Word"
Something about this particular morning hadn't seemed right from the time Madelyn woke up from her sleep till she stepped into her new class room. She currently lived in a new apartment with her mother and brother after moving from the small town of Pikesville, Maryland; to the land of the sun. Her mother, a worker of a self owned company thought it would be great idea to expand their horizons and make more money and moved the family across the sea.
Madelyn, of course, thought this was the most ridiculous idea that her mother had ever come up with. At first there was the thought of running away, but where would she go? Her mother and her brother were the only family she had ever known of besides her crazy grandmother with the fourteen cats. Instead of ending her life right then and there, Madelyn threw down the towel and packed up her room the following week.
Now, here she is at her new high school starting her life all over again. Standing in front of the classroom in front of twenty-three students was not the way she had pictured her first twenty minutes of school to be. She had hoped to slip into the classroom undetected and sit in the back while the students carried on with their school work, but unfortunately her curly brown mop of hair and tanned skin made her the center of attention in a crowd of small pale dark-haired people.
The principal was the first one to spot her in said crowd of people. The small squat man had a friendly, but stern face. He didn't look like the American teachers who couldn't give a damn if their students missed half of the school year and failed.
"Ah," He started in English. It was a bit accented, but it was good nonetheless "You must be Madelyn Brookhaven, (1) welcome to Sarasaki Junior High, I hope you enjoy your stay here. Call me Principal Takenaka." He smiled and bowed his head in her direction and she forced herself to smile back. She was surely not going to enjoy her time in a foreign school with different people. If regular junior high was a pain in the ass, what made her think that a foreign junior high would be even different?
She bowed back and smiled "Thank you for accepting me, I'm going to do my best here."
"That's exactly the response I was hoping for out of my students." He chuckled "Here, let me take you to your classroom, may I see your schedule?"
She took it out of her bag and handed it to him. He took it with a smiled and looked down at the paper. Then within a second of reading her homeroom number he grimaced.
"Is there something wrong Sir?" she asked tilting her head to the side.
"Uh, it's just that…nothing, never mind, come with me." He replied waving her off.
She followed behind him down the long hallway and up some stairs.
"Here we are." He said pointing to a classroom door that was closed. From the noise that was coming out of there meant that the teacher hadn't arrived yet.
He opened the door and the classroom got utterly silent with the exception of two students fighting in the back of the classroom.
"Give it back Urameshi, that's my rice cake!" a tall orange-haired boy was on the bottom of the tussle and seemed to be losing
"Well now Kuwabara, I've been telling you, it's a dog eat dog world out there and I just happen to be a dog who likes rice cakes." The smaller boy out of the two had placed his foot on the taller boys face and was eating his prize. His gelled black hair and green uniform was what made him stand out.
Madelyn was having a hard time translating this face paced language, but from what she could tell from context clues was that the larger boy had just lost his lunch.
"Alright you two, cut it out before I put you both in detention!" Takenaka clapped his hands twice for silence and waited for the two to find their seats.
The tall one stood up and brushed off his blue uniform and fumed "You just wait Urameshi; I'll see you after school!"
"Yeah, whatever." The smaller boy waved him off and sat in his seat putting his feet up on the desk.
"This isn't your house Mr. Urameshi; please remove your feet from school property." Mr. Takenaka sighed and walked over to the podium in the front of the class room.
"This is Brookhaven Madelyn; I hope you all welcome her to this school as if she had been here from the beginning of the school year." He gestured over to the girl standing by the door.
Noticing that her name had been called and she had been introduced, she bowed and smiled at the student body. "It's nice to meet you all."
"As you can see, she speaks a bit of Japanese, but that doesn't mean you guy can slack off on learning English." He said sternly, you could tell he was talking to a few select students
"Can I sit down now?" she whispered to Mr. Takenaka trying not to be noticed.
"Oh, I'm sorry about that." He replied smiling. It was almost as if he was two different people. One cared and loved all and the other was stern and would put his foot down when needed. "How about over there?" He said pointing to the desk behind the kid in the green uniform.
"Uh, okay, thanks." She said looking over to the empty seat.
She tried not to make any eye contact with the students in the room and walked over to the desk and sat down the in chair. She kept her head down and tried not to make a lot movement. It seemed to her that they were watching her every move. Sighing she put her head in her hands. I can't wait until this day is over and done with. As soon as I get home I'm heading straight to the freezer and I'm eating that entire carton of ice cream.
"Hey, are you listening?"
She was jolted out of her thoughts by a voice.
"Uh, what?" she answered back.
"I was telling you that my name is Yusuke Urameshi." The boy with the green uniform had turned around in his seat and was talking to her. This had seemed weird to her seeing because as soon as she saw him, she didn't think he would be the type to introduce them self so nicely.
"Nice to meet you," She said putting a smile on her face. It wouldn't hurt to try and make friends with this boy. "My name is Madelyn."
"Urameshi, what do you think you're doing?" came a voice from across the room. It was the taller boy with the orange hair.
"I'm being nice for once, dumbass!" Yusuke stood up with such a force that it knocked his chair down.
It seemed as if the taller boy had used some kind of super human power because within a second of her looking up at him form across the room, he had run across the room and grabbed her hand looking into her face.
"Don't worry pretty lady, I, Kuzuma Kuwabara will protect you from this beast." He smiled at her and tried to get closer but a smack on the back of the head prevented him from moving any further.
"I thought I told you two to cut it out." Said Mr. Takenaka standing behind the group with a book in his hand raised as if to strike again "This is the last time I'm going to tell you."
"I was just trying to be nice." Said Yusuke pouting and looking in the other direction
"You're like a wolf in a flock of sheep Urameshi; you were just trying to corrupt this sweet girl!" Kuwabara stood up and stuck his finger in Yusuke's direction
"Shut up idiot!" shouted Yusuke putting his fists up.
"Alright, detention for the both of you." Mr. Takenaka stepped in between them. He hit them both on the back of the head with the book. He looked around for one last time and then there was total silence from the class and walked out of the door.
Madelyn sighed and put her head down on her desk. This is just what she needed on her first day of a new school in a new country. If these boys didn't shut up she'd be the talk of the school without having to open her mouth once.
"Alright class, settle down." The teacher walked into the classroom. He was going to ask for silence again, but then he realized there was no need for it. The entire classroom was watching the commotion that was going on in the back of the classroom.
"Mr. Urameshi, Mr. Kuwabara, do I have to ask you two to take your seats?" He put his papers on the podium and looked towards the two students
"No, you don't have to 'cause I'm leaving." Yusuke stood up and walked out of the door
The teacher sighed and continued on with his lesson. This seemed at little weird to Madelyn. Isn't the teacher supposed to make sure that their students stay in school? Apparently not, it's a dog eat dog world out here. She thought to herself quoting Yusuke. She hadn't even known the boy for more than twenty minutes and she was already quoting him. Pulling out her textbooks she began listening to the teacher who was writing at the chalk board.
Afterschool
Madelyn put her books into her bag after the bell had rung and the students had left the classroom. She sighed and pulled her hair back into a ponytail. It was a long way home from here and the sun would be setting soon.
The last thing I need is to be found dead and savagely raped in an alleyway. She thought to herself, walking faster.
She suddenly heard footsteps behind her. Oh my Buddha. Oh sweet Mother of God. Oh Jesus please help me.
"Excuse me Miss, you dropped your book." Called a voice behind her.
"Oh," she voiced "Thank you." She turned around to see the person and was surprised.
"You?" She exclaimed, eyes opening wide.
"Yes, what about me?" He asked with confusion on his face.
"You're the last person who would pick up a book for someone, Urameshi Yusuke." She replied with her hands on her hips.
"Well, excuse me Miss. I don't even know what I'm talking about." Said Yusuke shoving the book into her hands. He tried to walk around her, but she stayed him with her hand on his arm.
"You didn't seem so friendly when you were walking out of class." She said while trying to put her book in her bag
"I don't take any crap from teachers." He said haughtily crossing his arms with a smile.
"Mr. Takenaka was trying to maintain order." She said defending the teacher.
"Oh, so you're one of those suck up types. I see what I'm getting into." He frowned and tried for the other direction.
"Wait, what are you talking about Mr. I don't even know what I'm talking about." She mocked him. "You don't know anything about me yet."
"Yet?" He questioned with his eyebrows raised.
"I say we make a pack."
"I don't got any money for you."
"I said a pack, not a bet dumb face." She said shaking her head while laughing slightly. "I'm new here and I need a friend so how 'bout we make a truce and then we can hang out together." She stuck her hand out and waited for him to grab it. When he did, she smiled.
"I don't have to buy you anything?" He asked narrowing his eyes.
"Maybe." She replied smiling. She turned around and continued for home. Eh, that entire carton of ice cream doesn't look so good right about now.
