Chapter 1
Hey everyone! Welcome to my new story. Although it may not look like it, I have been writing and reading Yu Yu Hakusho fanfiction for closing in on ten years now. It has been quite a while since I have actually posted something. I am more than happy to accept constructive criticism. This is going to be a little rough but it is an idea I have been playing with for a few years now. I hope you enjoy reading as much as I am writing!
Sun poured into the small bedroom, waking Olivia from her slumber. Her eyes opened in a panic, looking at the clock on her bedside table. It read nine in the morning, three hours past the time she was expected to be starting her chores. She frantically got up, throwing her three feet of cherry hair in a ponytail and some shorts and a tank top on. She finished with a bandana to hold back any loose hairs and hurried to the closet for her cleaning supplies.
"What do you think you are doing child?" asked a raspy voice from the front room. Olivia stopped and turned to the old woman staring at her with a cigarette in her mouth. She bowed, expecting repercussions for waking so late.
"I am so sorry Miss Genkai. I was so sure I had set my alarm to wake up at the normal time. It won't happen again, I promise," she said apologetically. Genkai laughed at her genuinely and stood.
"I came in and turned off your alarm so you could get some extra sleep. Koenma wants to meet with you sometime today. Get washed up and we will head that way. And no, you aren't in any more trouble since I know that was your first fear," she said matter of factly.
"Hello Ms. Psinix, it is nice to see you again," Koenma said from behind a stack of papers.
"Um actually, I go by my human name now, Olivia," she said, looking over the stack. He walked around it and sat in a chair in front of her.
"Of course Miss Olivia, so, you have been very well behaved since being put under the care of Master Genkai. We have a bit of an assignment for you in the human world since you have proven we can trust you. Our new spirit detective is in need of some help. His first assignment is very difficult. If you can help him make this assignment successful, we will shorten your Spirit World sentence. Do you accept?" he asked her. She stood from pure joy and hugged the little lord.
"Yes a million times yes! Thank you so much for this opportunity!" she said, before realizing what she was doing. She sat back in her chair, trying to act normal.
"Good, we will be sending you to the human world immediately then. We already have all your belongings set up in an apartment right across from your new partners. His name is Yusuke Urameshi. Now, I must warn you, he kind of a delinquent and stubborn. It won't be easy for you, but we believe you can get the job done. Now, Botan is going to bring you there in a few minutes when she shows up. Do you have any questions?" he asked, reading the paper going over the assignment. She shook her head no, too excited to think of anything. The blue haired ferry girl arrived shortly and escorted her to the human world.
"If you need anything at all, don't be afraid to get ahold of me on this," and handed her a mirror to contact her before she made her departure. Olivia ran into the bedroom and jumped onto the queen sized bed, giggling for joy.
