Obviously I don't own Yu Yu Hakusho or anything associated with it. If I did I wouldn't be sitting here on my butt writing a story about it.


"Oh c'mon Hiei, this will be a lot of fun!" Keiko excitedly exclaimed, her almost ever present smile widening by the second.

Hiei merely stared at her.

"Please Hiei, I really want you to go," Yukina chimed in her azure eyes shining brilliant over flowing with hope.

'hn. "I suppose I will attend," Hiei muttered.

Yusuke leered at Hiei, his arm wrapped around Keiko, "This will be a lot of fun with you buddy,"

"Yeah cant wait to see you cut up some rug," Kuwabara said, his response punctuated with a laugh.

"Shut the fuck up you filthy piece of slime," Hiei darkly muttered, his jagan smoldering behind his ever present white headband.

"Who the hell are you calling a filthy piece of slime, you fucking midget!," Kuwabara yelled advancing on Hiei, while rolling up his sleeves.

"Kuwabara...Hiei...Stop!" Yukina cried, worry lacing her voice. She began to walk towards them her hands held up in a submissive gesture.

Their fighting increased.

Yusuke turned to Keiko, and planted a kiss on her upturned cheek. "This is going to be just like always,"

A dismal expression appeared on Keiko's face. "I hope not."

Alina stared at Mr. Mae a frown forming on her rosy lips. "10 dollars?, She almost screeched, I don't have that kind of money. I don't have any money!"

"Well young lady, Mr. Mae grumbled, the school expects all fines to be paid in full. You scrawled profanities on the school bathroom door and so they therefore must be repainted. A can of paint costs 10 dollars, just be happy I'm not making you paint it yourself!"

Alina sighed, and forced her cobalt eyes to meet his. "Look here buddy, she said her voice venomous, You know damn well that I cant afford this fine. You have memorized my personal file, are aware of the fact that I live in a shelter and have no job. Either you find something for me to do to make up this fine, or I expose your little secret to all of the school."

Mr. Mae wiped away a bead of sweat that had formed on his forehead at the mention of 'secret' "Okay, Miss, he said his voice thick with resignation, You have good grades, and an amiably tardy record. I suppose I can allow you to do something to make up for it. But understand that I am not treating you any better, because you claim to know a "secret" of mine. I am giving you this opportunity because I believe that you will benefit from it,"

"What opportunity,"

"You will be working at the Christmas party."

"You've got to be kidding me, Alina said, You know I hate Christmas."

"You either do this Al, or you pay me," Mr. Mae said his expression deadly.

"Fine, Mr. Mae, Alina responded, you've got yourself a deal."

"Lovely."

The room was crowded and hot. "I cant believe I got myself in this," Alina muttered to herself as she struggled through the swarming crowd. This has got to be the last place, on earth that I want to be.

She bumped into someone, causing them to spill their drink. "I'm sorry," Alina hastily exclaimed bending down to help the girl clean up her mess.

"Its okay, no big deal," Keiko responded, I'll just have Yusuke get me a new glass." She smiled softly, and then her eyes widened in recognition.

"Your Alina aren't you? You are in my English class," It wasn't a question but rather more of a statement.

"Yes, I am." Alina said, brushing back her shoulder length glossy black hair. Her ice blue eyes binded with Keiko's chocolate orbs.

"How did you do on that test she gave us? I don't think I did too well. Keiko frowned. Yusuke kept me up all night throwing rocks at my window and attempting to serenade me." She batted her eyelashes.

Alina raised an eyebrow, her lips quivering slightly. "Is that so?" She couldn't imagine Yusuke of all people serenading anyone, nor throwing rocks at any girls window.

"No. Keiko grinned blushing slightly. I had a trig. test and I stayed up all night studying for it. I had forgotten we had a test the next day."

"Ah I see, Alina said smoothing her black sweater down, I'm sorry. I'm sure you did fine on the test."

"I hope so." Keiko said with a small smile. Alina looked at her and then glanced at the dancers, making it seem like she was at least, doing what she was supposed to.

"Hey. I have an idea! Keiko excitedly announced. How about you come and meet Yusuke and the gang?"

"I don't know, Alina hesitated, I'm supposed to be working..."

"You can at least have a good time while your here," Keiko said her expression pleading.

"Well I suppose," Alina said giving in.

Keiko dragged her over to the table, where all the guys sat stuffing their faces. Or should I say, Yusuke and Kuwabara sat stuffing their faces. Kurama calmly nibbled on a cookie and Hiei merely sat there, smoldering.

Alina half waved at them, and Keiko hurriedly said, "Guys! This is Alina, she's in my English class,"

Yusuke and Kuwabara grunted.

Kurama extended his hand smiling softly, and quietly said, "Its quite nice to meet you"

Alina grinned at him, completely charmed. "Its nice to meet you as well."

"Oh I forgot, Keiko said flustered,

That Yusuke, with the black hair, Kuwabara with the orangish hair, Kurama with red hair, and Hiei with black,"

"Its nice to meet you all," Alina said a small smile on her lips. Her widened eyes were watching Kuwabara and Yusuke shove alarming amounts of food into their faces.

Yusuke slowed down, noting her glance, and swallowing loudly, spoke. "You're the girl everyone calls 'Al' aren't you?"

"Uh..sometimes," Alina said uncomfortable. She didn't want her old reputation coming out just yet.

"You mean you are the girl who single handedly beat up that gunman who snuck into the school?" Kurama said surprised.

"I suppose you could say that," Alina said sweat starting to form. She pulled at the black sweaters collar. Was it getting hot in here, or what...

"You-"

Just then Mr. Mae loomed behind Alina. A camera was strapped around his neck and he held mistle toe tightly clenched in his left hand. He bent close to her and said, " I need a picture for the yearbook. Kiss that spiky headed kid, and you're free to go,"

Al glanced at Hiei who sat there, stonily.

"Deal."

Keiko glanced at Al her expression questioning but Al just gave her a half smile, pulled up a chair and scooted next to Hiei.

Hiei merely glanced at her.

Al started to get uncomfortable and then scooted as close to him as possible. The hard wood of her chair sliding against his.

Mr. Mae positioned the mistletoe in overtop Hiei's head.

"Hey!, Kuwabara exclaimed, Is that mistle-"

Al leaned in close to Hiei her lips sliding against his.

And kissed him.


Okay. So I've been gone for quite a while. Around a year or two to be exact. Finding myself, my soul all that crap. In that time I've become a junior in highschool, acquired a 7 month year old little brother, acquired a boyfriend who loves me for me 10 months on Feb 17 and acquired respect for myself. I will be updating this story, since I know how it will begin obviously and how it will end.

Any suggestions are appreciated, I don't have cable and I cant remember a lot about Yu Yu Hakusho.
