Kind of a warning on this: I have never written a Yu Yu Hakusho fanfic
before, so don't totally bash it. I know that it's not the greatest.
Actually, the main point of it was to see on of my friends reactions to
it... she's a LITTLE obsessive with one of the characters. So, I might get
rid of this after the end, after all.
Anyway, as you probably know, I do NOT own Yu Yu Hakusho, however, I own Romi and Narrin, and my *coughhighlyobsessedhyperactivecough* friend owns Emiko.

Romi brushed her sun-light blonde bangs from her eyes and sat back, truly happy for the first time in a long while. And with reason. Things between her and Suechi were going well... alright, not perfectly, but better than before. He at least knew who she really was. And her painting for the art fair was finally finished to her strict standards. Actually, he was picking her up for the art fair in less than an hour.
Time to get ready, she thought happily. She slipped out of her ragged paint clothes and into the warm bath that had just finished filling. Romi let the smell of lavender bubbles sooth her as she reminisced about her neighbor.
In a past life, in a different world, she had been close kin to him. Not as Romi and Suechi, but as Asae and Yoko Kurama. Wolf and fox demon, and an odd pair to find together in any time set. It seemed impossible for them to be closely related, as they were almost total opposites. He was graceful, quick thinking, and powerful. She was swift, protested violence, and planned everything in advance. This combination of personalities made them the best thieves in the realm. In looks, they were slightly better matched, long white hair crowned both their heads, parting around animal ears... but that was the extent of their similarities.
Now, they both inhabited human bodies and had different names. Though, Suechi, rather, Kurama retained some of his ancient power, Romi could find no trace of hers. Though, that wasn't such a bad thing, was it? She decided silently.
It certainly hadn't helped convince Kurama that she was who said she was, though. But she'd had doubts that he was HER soul-sibling, as well. How could her neighbor and long-time friend be her long-lost brother? It was impossible; besides, the boy across the street was redheaded. That, however, seemed not to matter and once he revealed his power she was utterly convinced.
*A slightly younger version of Romi sat on the curb outside her house, depressed despite the beautifully sunny day. She and Suechi had fought again and now he wouldn't speak to her. She kicked a rock absent-mindedly. It's not like it was THAT important, she had thought angrily, but was interrupted by a low growl behind her.*
*Romi whipped around to see Fang, Mad old Mr. E's guard dog. EVIL guard dog. Fang wasn't really the dog's name, and Mr. E wasn't really their grouchy old neighbor's name, but no one offered any other calling for them, and everyone knew who you were talking about when you said 'Mr. E and Fang'.*
*Fang's barred teeth reflected in Romi's frightened eyes. Everyone in the neighborhood knew to get out of the way when Fang came along, but Romi had been caught off guard. She froze, unable to move or cry out for help*
My powers failed then, too, didn't they? The warm water washing over her reminded Romi of what it felt like to call on her demon powers for a good use. It had felt something like this on that day, she thought, but nothing had happened.
*Even as Fang leaned towards her, mouth open, Suechi barreled across the street. The fight that followed was swiftly ended when he called on his demon powers to scare the evil dog away. It had all happened so fast, and yet Romi knew the look in his eyes from somewhere.*
It had taken a while to find out the whole story of their past lives, and had taken an even longer time to convince Suechi that Romi was his sister... of sorts.
She dragged her self out of the water and dressed quickly so as to keep warm. "No wonder," she said aloud, "I was always skeptical of the women he dates. I have an older sister-type interest in his affairs."
It was a good thing that he had a brotherly interest in her, too, or she would have been getting to the art fair that night.
Then the door bell rang.
"Crap! I didn't finish drying my hair!!" Romi cursed and jumped down the hallway, trying to put her sock on and answer the door at the same time.
"ROMI!!! I'm baa-ack!" Pronounced a loud voice as the door burst open.
Romi groaned audibly. "Hi Narrin."
"Don't sound so excited to see me, I've only been gone for ten days!" said Narrin, plopping herself down on the couch and picking up the tray of candies from the coffee table.
"So how was France?" She asked, running a comb through her sopping blonde mess of hair.
"Je n'aime pas l'anglais. Je prefer français, s'il tu plait?" Narrin laughed and flipped her straight brown hair behind her shoulders. "It was okay, the Eiffel tower wasn't all it was cracked up to be... honestly, I don't know how people can get so worked up over a bunch of metal rods. Oh! I met this REALLY cute guy- named Will-"
Romi rolled her eyes, Narrin was always meeting a 'cute guy' who she swore was the only one for her, until the next guy a few weeks later.
"THINK what you will, this is different," she pronounced, prideful, "What're you all dressed up for?"
"Art fair, as if you knew anything about it-" Romi started.
"Wait just a minute! I love the art fair! ALL the hot, smart, intellectual guys flock to these things to meet talented young women," Narrin interrupted.
"I'm getting a ride with Suechi and Emiko, if you really want to tag a long, I can ask." Romi grinned wickedly.
Theatrics were Narrin's strongest area of study, besides men. "What?" She threw her hands out expressively. "I couldn't bare to spend a minute with poor Suechi. He should be spending his time with a girl who appreciates him, like me. Not with that- but I'm totally over him. I have Will now, so I don't need to go to the art fair. Besides, the best art in the world is the stuff you do, and I've seen almost all of it."
A blue car pulled into the driveway. "Well, it's too bad you won't join us, gotta go! Bye!" And Romi whipped out the door. "I'll call you later, Narrin!"
Anyway, as you probably know, I do NOT own Yu Yu Hakusho, however, I own Romi and Narrin, and my *coughhighlyobsessedhyperactivecough* friend owns Emiko.
