Animechick: Hey everyone! I'm so excited to bring you the first chapter of 'To Love a Rose'. I've actually been working on this fanfiction for a long time and I pretty much wrote my basic outline of it so I hope I can bring the chapters up rather quickly. This is a Kurama X OC fanfic. It's mostly because I feel like if he would have ever had a love interest in the show/manga it would have happened or been hinted at it. This story is taking place a year after the dark tournament arc so they don't deal with Sensui at all in my story. So Kurama is in his 3rd year of high school and Keiko, Yusuke and Kuwabara are in their 1st year of high school, just a little background for you. Now onto my OC; roughly at the beginning of a chapter if I have an OC that is debuting in that chapter I'll give a short description of the person. This OC is actually modeled after me. After this story I already have a sequel planned that will be Hiei X OC and that OC is modeled after my best friend. But anyway let's continue. Those of you that are reading my Inuyasha fanfiction Now and forever, yes my OCs have the same name. That's because if I modeled an OC after myself they will always have the same name and similar if not the same characteristics and background. Lets meet her shall we?
Allie: Hi! I'm Allie! I'm 16 in my second year of high school. I have long black hair that's got a wave to it. My eyes are a golden hazel so kind of like an amber color but not really. I'm not a small girl by any means. I'm 5'7 so I'm a little bit shorter than Kurama (Who in this story is 5'10). I'm like a size 12 in clothes depending on the cut. I've got curves. My boobs though are huge. It kind of sucks actually especially since my butt isn't proportionate to my boobs. I still have one but it's not that big. I've got what you call 'Angelina Jolie' lips. I have a scar right above my left eye that looks like a little cross and a scar in the palm of my hand. I think that's everything about me. Oh and also I am half Japanese. I can speak English and Japanese.
Animechick: Great! I hope you guys love her and my story. I don't own Yu Yu Hakusho, just my OC's.
Allie: I wish you owned it though.
Animechick: Me too, but I don't, anyway this story is Rated M for mature audiences mostly because, there is gonna be a lot of swearing.
Allie: No shit
Animechick: and lemons. LOTS OF LEMONS.
Allie:…
Animechick: You'll find out
Yusuke:Who's gonna get laid?
Animechick: You'll find out.
Hiei: Get on with the damn story already!( Eats his ice cream)
Allie: where did you get ice cream?
Hiei: I thought it was called sweet snow?
Animechick: that's what you call it, its actually called ice cream that particular flavor is strawberry.
Allie: I want some.
Hiei: (hides the ice cream under his cloak) mine (runs away)
Animechick: (Shakes head) Alright on with the story!

Chapter 1
A New Case
Kurama sat in his chair reading his book. He had just finished the first test of the new school year. Naturally he had been the first one to finish, however he still wasn't to be dismissed until the last bell. The open window next to him blew in a nice breeze that felt cool against his skin and with it came the scent of his three friends Yusuke, Kuwabara, and Botan.
Earlier
Kurama sat on a bench under a tree in the school's courtyard eating his lunch. Mother nature had truly been kind to him today so he could sit outside with his lunch. He didn't particularly like sitting with his other classmates as most of them didn't have any interesting topics to talk about. Also many girls were always trying to get his attention, but he was never interested. He loved humans sure, but he couldn't see himself with one. He still had many years to live and he didn't want to watch his lover slowly die while he stayed young and lived.
*BRING BRING*
His pocket vibrated. He pulled out the communication mirror that Koenma had given to them should there be an emergency. When he opened it on the screen was the face of the happy grim reaper.
"Hello Botan is something the matter?"
"Yes Kurama, Koenma has a new very important mission for you all. After school Me, Yusuke and Kuwabara will meet you at your school and we will all leave for spirit world together."
"What about Hiei?"
"Oh don't worry Koenma already has a plan to get him there."
Kurama didn't know how to react to that but he just nodded. He said his goodbyes as the bell rang signaling the end of lunch.
'They are here earlier than I thought they'd be.' Kurama thought as he looked at the time. He only had to wait a few more minutes before he was let out. He started to put his stuff away so as soon as the bell would ring he would leave. He didn't want to waste time, this mission had to be important if Koenma wanted them all to come to spirit world to discuss it.
*RINNG*
"Everyone who has finished the test please bring them up to me and you may be dismissed. Everyone else must stay until they have finished"
Kurama stood up. He was the only one who ever finished his test on time. He walked over to the teacher and handed him the test. He saw out of the corner of his eye that he received some glares from the students who were still finishing their tests but it didn't bother him. It didn't take him long to head outside. Before he was even ten feet away he could hear Yusuke and Kuwabara arguing. He looked over and saw Botan staring at them shaking her head in annoyance. She looked up and saw Kurama walking towards them and felt relieved. She walked over to him.
"Kurama please tell me you can get these two to stop? They are giving me the worst headache."
Kurama just chuckled.
"I don't think they will stop on my account Botan." Botan let out a defeated sigh.
"So what is the mission Botan? "Kurama asked, Yusuke and Kuwabara stopped their bickering to look at the kitsune.
"Don't waste your breath Kurama, she won't tell us either." Yusuke said clearly seeming annoyed with the situation.
"Yusuke, all I know is that this is serious and important. Koenma hasn't even told me anything yet. "
"That baby never tells anyone anything." Kuwabara said crossing his arms over his chest, Yusuke did the same and nodded his head seeming to agree.
"well in any case we must be going. What about Hiei?" Kurama asked. He knew it wouldn't be an easy task to find the short fire demon; mostly because he never wanted to be found.
"Actually Hiei is already at Spirit World."
Kurama was surprised by this. They had to have done something to get Hiei there.
"How did you get three eyes there?" Yusuke said, apparently he was surprised too.
Botan flipped her ponytail to the back of her head and waved her index finger in the air. She had a huge smile on her face. She looked very proud of herself.
"Well, once I found him, I opened the portal and Koenma used one of our brand new detective items to trap him!"
Kurama just sighed and Yusuke and Kuwabara fell to the ground, not surprised at all by Botan and Koenma's actions.
"Hiei's not gonna be happy about that." Kurama said as he shook his head. He could only imagine how his friend must be feeling at this very moment.
"Well we will find out, let us go down this alley, I've opened the portal."
They followed Botan down the alleyway. She opened a door on the side of a building and it glowed white. They were blinded as they walked through the portal but quickly enough their eyes adjusted and they found themselves in Koenmas office. Koenma was stamping away at a mountain of documents and next to his desk was a vacuum cleaner, which was violently shaking. Muffled obscenities could be heard coming from the vacuum.
"Koenma sir, don't you think it's time we let Hiei out?" Botan said as she pointed at the vacuum. Kurama point a hand to his temple and started shaking his head.
"You trapped Hiei in a vacuum?" Kurama said a hint of annoyance in his voice.
"He's gonna be pissed when you let him out." Yusuke said stating the obvious.
"what is that thing anyway?" Kuwabara asked as he eyed the vacuum closely but not getting to close because it was still shaking very violently.
"It's a new detective item that can suck up and trap apparitions. The stronger the apparition the closer you need to be to trap them." Koenma said seemingly proud of his invention.
"Yes and I'm never getting that close to him again!" Botan yelled at the spirit world leader. Botan walked over to the vacuum. She switched it to reverse and turned it on. Hiei was thrown out of the vacuum and he was slammed hard against the wall. He rubbed his head and then he quickly ran up to Koenma and grabbed him by the collar.
"HOW DARE YOU TRAP ME IN A VACUUM!?" He yelled at Koenma while angrily shaking him.
"it was our only way to get you here! Please don't hurt me!" Koenma pleaded with the fire demon. Hiei threw him back at his desk.
"Hmph! You'd think spirit world would have a ruler with more balls." Hiei muttered.
"Anyway why are we here toddler breath?" Yusuke asked. Koenma stood up on top of his desk and straightened himself out. He had on his serious face, well as serious as his baby face could get, and looked at them.
He picked up his remote and pushed a button. On the screen a young girl, about 16, appeared on the screen. She had long wavy black hair and golden hazel eyes. She had big full lips and she had some curves, you could tell she was toned.
"This is Allie Takahashi, she is my spirit detective that protects over the US. She is half Japanese and my best spirit detective."
"there is no way she is better than me." Yusuke said
"Well she is, she has even made her own spirit energy attacks, while her attitude sucks like yours does Yusuke, she has a good heart and she has what you lack which is discipline and respect."
"That's great Koenma why are you showing her to us?"
"There is a group called the Nakamura clan, Kurama I'm sure you have heard of them?" Kurama nodded at the spirit world leader's words.
"Yes, they were a group of demons I killed a long time ago when they botched a burglary of mine."
"you did kill them Kurama however someone has brought them back from the dead artificially and they are even stronger than they were before." Kuramas eyes went serious. At the time when he was Yoko Kurama he had been a high A class demon and the Nakamura clan were all only mid A class levels. If they were stronger than that now than they were stronger than him now as well. They were stronger than Yusuke even.
"The Nakamura clan have been hunting down hanyous that live in human world and killing them. There are many villages that have been destroyed completely because of them. Allie is fox hanyou. Her mother was a powerful spirit fox that protected all of nature around her. Her father was a very powerful psychic that was my spirit detective in the US before she was born. When Allie was born her mother died giving birth to her. Her father died a few years ago. She has been my spirit detective there ever since. Her father trained her, but the Nakamura clan is hunting her. She used her energy to seal them away behind a powerful barrier until she could grow stronger to defeat them. But she can't do this alone. And the Nakamura clan have sworn their revenge against Allie that they will kill her when they break free and then they will come after you and your family Kurama. "
"how do you know they want to come after me?"
"They found out about you and your mother from the dark tournament. When Allie first fought them, they told her after they killed her they were coming after you." Kurama nodded anger welling up inside him. He didn't care if people threatened him but it was different story when it came to his mother. He would lay down his life for that woman.
"take me there now and I'll kill them now!" Yusuke yelled. Koenma yelled back.
"IF ALLIE CAN'T AND SHE IS STRONGER THAN YOU, WHAT MAKES YOU THINK YOU CAN BEAT THEM!?"
Yusuke promptly shut his mouth as he debated if punching Koenma in the face was a good idea or not. Koenma coughed to clear his throat.
"Now Allie will be moving to Japan so you all can train together to bring down the Nakamura clan before they can break the barrier. She will be going to your high school Kurama since Yusuke and Kuwabaras school isn't taking any new students this year. You all will be training every day at Genkai's after school. She has already allowed it."
"When will we meet her?" Kurama asked.
"She should be here soon, she is fighting some low life demons but she should be bringing them here soon."
"Koenma maybe we should call Allie, she should have been here by now." Botan posed. Koenma turned on his big screen on the wall and called Allie. Her face appeared on the screen. They could see her from the waist up. She was wearing a dark green tank top with a black short sleeved leather jacket over it. She had no makeup on and her hair was in a long braid.
"What is it Koenma I'm busy?" She said. She was sweating. Everyone but Koenma Kurama, and Botan seemed annoyed that they couldn't understand her.
"FUCK YOU HALF BREED BITCH!" A demon yelled as it ran towards Allie, she spun around and kicked him in the face and the demon fell to the ground.
"Piece of shit. Anyway Koenma what is it? "
"I need you to come to spirit world. Are you able to?" Allie rolled her eyes.
"Have Botan open a portal, I need to drop these fucks off to you anyway."
Botan quickly opened the door that they had come in earlier and walked into the bright light that emanated from it. The connection on Koenmas screen cut off and demons were thrown through the door onto the floor of Koenmas office. Then Allie and Botan walked in, Allie wiped the sweat off her forehead. Now that they could see the rest of her they saw that she was wearing black fingerless gloves, black cargo pants and black combat boots. She was pretty tall she was a little bit shorter than Kurama. She looked at them questioningly.
"Who are these guys Koenma? Why do you have two humans and two demons in your office?" Allie asked in English. She couldn't ascertain yet if she could trust the four strangers. She assumed they couldn't speak English but one look at the red head staring at her she wasn't so sure anymore.
"I told you about them before. My spirit detective from Japan and his companions that will help you?"
"oh shit I forgot okay cool, so they only speak Japanese?"
"yes I assume so."
"I speak English." Kurama said. Allie and Koenma looked over at them. Koenma wasn't really surprised. Kurama was the smartest one out of this group. Allie smiled at him.
"sweet, don't be surprised if I talk to you in English when I get stressed about this."
"that's quite alright."
"what the hell are you guys saying?" Yusuke asked seeming quite annoyed that he couldn't understand a word they said.
"Nothing my friend you don't need to worry." Kurama said waving his hand. Allie bowed to them now.
"hello everyone sorry for not introducing myself earlier. I'm Allie. I'm a spirit detective from California."
Her Japanese was great. Normally when someone is bilingual you can always tell which they are better versed in but you couldn't with her. She spoke both languages with ease like it came natural.
"Now Allie I have already informed everyone of everything up to this point. You will be training with them every day after school. You will be going to Meioh high school and you can't be skipping school there like you do in America. This is a very high ranking school in Japan."
Allie just rolled her eyes.
"yeah yeah whatever toddler breath." Allie said.
"her attitude is like Urameshi's" Kuwabara said trying not to laugh.
"Why do you always call me that!?" Koenma yelled
"Cause you're a baby!" Allie and Yusuke yelled at the same time and then they just stared at each other for a moment obviously not expecting the other to say that.
"Anyway Allie let me introduce you, that idiot is Yusuke Urameshi. He's my other spirit detective."
"what's up Takahashi?" Yusuke said holding his fist out to her so she could bump it. She bumped it back.
"Nice to meet you Yusuke glad to see that I'm not the only who thinks it's ridiculous that spirit world is run by a toddler." They chuckled while Koenma grew red with anger.
"this is Kazuma Kuwabara, he isn't a spirit detective but he is incredibly spiritually aware."
"you can just call me Kuwabara, everyone else does."
"I prefer fool" Hiei muttered from his corner. Yusuke and Allie started laughing.
"SAY IT TO MY FACE SHRIMP!" Kuwabara yelled.
"That is Hiei, as I'm sure you can tell, he is a demon. A fire apparition to be exact."
"what's up Hiei?" Allie said Hiei just looked away.
"Hn!"
Allie eyed him.
"Ah I see how it is. Mina would like you" Allie said but she whispered the last part.
"And this is Kurama. You will be going to school with him. I'm sure you can tell he is a demon too."
"its nice to meet you, when we are in human world I will have to ask that you call me Shuichi Minamino." He grabbed her hand and kissed it.
"What a gentleman its nice to meet you to."
'I've heard his name before..but where? This is gonna bother the hell out of me. Koenma did say that I should watch the footage from the dark tournament so I could know a little about them. I guess I'll do that when I get home.' She thought to herself as she took in the four guys she just met. She wondered how old Kurama and Hiei were. Most demons took close to 500 years to really start aging and they both looked young. They looked about 16 maybe 17. Yusuke and Kuwabara looked a little younger but not by much. They were all pretty good looking. Except maybe Kuwabara, he was attractive sure but Allie was not in the least bit attracted to him.
"Allie I have more details to tell you about your new school but we can get to that later. I still haven't found a place for you to live."
"ugh dammit Koenma!" Allie yelled in frustration as she crossed her arms over her chest.
"Well I'm sorry I have been busy! Could Allie perhaps stay with one of you until I found her a home?" Koenma asked with pleading eyes.
"Pretty sure Keiko would get jealous if a girl lived with me besides my mother would never leave you alone." Yusuke said
"You could live with me! I'm sure Shizuru won't mind!" Kuwabara said excitedly.
"Kuwabara it doesn't make sense for her to live with you, she'll be going to my school anyway you can live with me. My mother just renovated the guest room. We can tell her you're an exchange student." Kurama said with a smile on his face. He had a good point Allie had to admit. There was no point in staying with Kuwabara and to be quite honest she didn't want to. He kept staring at her and it creeped her out.
"Okay, if you'll have me." She said as she smiled at him.
"Okay so it is settled. Allie you should probably go home and pack. " Allie nodded and walked back over to the portal.
"I guess I'll see you all in a few days then everyone." Her eyes met with Kuramas. "Goodbye" She walked through the portal. Koenma went over the last few details with them that they all barely listened to. The gist of it was that she would land in Japan in three days. Kurama, Yusuke and Kuwabara all agreed that they would go pick her up from the airport.
"she definitely was strong! I've never felt so much power." Kuwabara said as they were now walking home.
"really? I didn't feel a thing but she was funny." Yusuke said.
"and pretty too." Kuwabara added
"yes I would say she was rather intriguing, wouldn't you say so Hiei?" Kurama asked.
"I suppose as much as a hanyou can be." Hiei said as he walked next to Kurama. He quickly jumped into a tree without saying a word making his departure.
"I think Hiei's got the right idea. I'm gonna head home too. See you guys." Yusuke said as he walked towards the direction of his mom's apartment.
"I gotta go too if I'm out too late Shizuru will kill me." Kuwabara said running in the direction of his house. Kurama walked home in silence as he thought about the girl he had met today. She was rather unusual and she defiantly peaked Kuramas interests. He came upon his home and opened the front door. He could tell before he entered that his mother wasn't home. He found a note of the fridge door.
Shuichi,
I'm staying with Kazuya tonight. There is dinner for you in the fridge. I will be gone this weekend on my business trip so I left some money in the breadbox if you need it. I will call you in the morning.
Love, Mom
He smiled at the note his mom left him. She was happy with Kazuya and Kurama could see that. He always treated her right. Kurama deemed it was too late to eat dinner and went to bed. The girl on his mind as he fell asleep.
