Hehehe. Just a few things you should know... Ivy is mostly based off me,
but she is not me. This is still in the YYH universe, so no "OMG! It's
Kurama!" or any of that stuff.
Disclaimer: I don't own anything here that looks remotely familiar, OK? SO STOP BOTHERING ME!!!
Chapter One: Abduction, Sorta
A bubbly, blue-haired, purple-eyed, ferry girl zoomed on an oar-shaped piece of wood towards a run-down apartment. Once she had landed on the ground, she dusted off her kimono and walked into the open front door.
"Yusuke!" she called. "Yusuke Urameshi!"
Roughly a minute later, a clearly agitated Yusuke walked out of the adjacent room. "What now, Botan?" he whined. Botan shook her finger in Yusuke's face. "Now, now, Yusuke. Is that anyway to greet me?"
Yusuke yawned and scratched his head. "Well, I wouldn't be so grouchy if you'd had enough sense not to wake me up at freakin' 5 'o clock in the morning!" Botan laughed nervously. "Oh, sorry about that, but Koenma said it was urgent."
"What does that toddler want now?" Yusuke groaned. "I haven't the slightest clue," Botan replied. "But, Kurama, Hiei, and Kuwabara are all ready at Spirit World waiting for us." "They're what!!?" Botan just smiled in that cute way no one could resist. "Come on, Yusuke. Let's go!"
********************************
Meanwhile, back in Spirit World, the rest of the Reiki Tentai were sitting around in Koenma's office. Well, Kuwabara was pacing the floor, and Hiei was flitting around the room at a very fast pace. Kurama was really the only one sitting.
"If you don't mind me asking, Koenma," the kitsune demon quietly asked, "Would you mind telling us why we're here at such an early time?"
"Yes, Koenma," the smaller youkai replied, "I was wondering what would be so urgent. I was in the middle of something very important."
"And what exactly would that have been, Hiei?"
Hiei eyed the red-headed demon warily, "That is my own business, Kurama," was his reply.
"Did I miss something?" That, of course, was Kuwabara.
Hiei smirked, "Yes, Kuwabaka, you did in fact miss the entire mission."
Kuwabara's eyes went wide. "But - but - but I swear I was listening! How did I miss it?"
Kurama chuckled softly, "Not too worry, Kuwabara. You didn't miss anything."
Before anyone could say anything else, our favorite spirit detective burst into the room. "I'm here!" he yelled.
Everyone stared at him, until finally Hiei broke the silence.
"You never cease to amaze me, Yusuke."
"And just what's that supposed to mean, shorty?" Yusuke retorted.
Koenma spoke up, "Excuse me, but I believe we have business to be getting to."
"Yeah, yeah, toddler, just get on with it." (AN: I wonder who that was? ^_^)
"Well," Koenma cleared his throat, "We have received reports that there is a person that needs bringing in."
"Just tell us who so we can get back to our normal business," Hiei responded.
Koenma raised an eyebrow, "As I was saying, we know for a fact that the person is female, and that she lives somewhere in America."
"AMERICA!!!" Yusuke shouted.
Koenma glared at him, "Yes, Yusuke, America. And, I'm not deaf, so there's no need to yell." Then, to himself, he added, "Keep screaming like that and I will be."
"And how, exactly, are we supposed to get over to America, Koenma. Last time I checked, even we didn't have to powers to fly," Hiei added.
"And what exactly has she done?" Kurama asked.
Koenma sighed, "Kurama, she hasn't done anything, yet. We have received word that a small band of powerful demons are looking for her now, and I don't think it would be wise to let them get her, seeing as we know next to nothing about her and the demons looking for her.
And, Hiei, that's where Botan comes in."
The ferry girl pulled back a curtain to reveal a swirling black and purple vortex. "Ta da!" she squealed.
Yusuke and the rest of the Reiki-Tantei stared at the...thing.
"Wow, Botan." Yusuke said, finally. "Uh, what is it?"
Still keeping her bubbly attitude, Botan explained.
"This is a portal to America. It was made using the same technology that you use every time you go to the Makai. It may cause motion sickness though, but we're not quite sure..."
"Thank you, Botan," Koenma stated. He then turned to the spirit detectives. "I expect you four to leave immediately. You are to be ready in one hour."
"One hour!!!" Yusuke exclaimed. "That's absurd!! I do have to do something called sleep. Ever heard of it?"
Kurama laughed quietly, "Yusuke," he said, "You, as well as I, perfectly well know that Koenma, and Hiei as well, have no need of sleep."
While Yusuke was grumbling to himself about stupid toddlers and missions, and so forth, Koenma was giving last minute instructions to the rest of the team.
"It is absolutely important that no one else sees you. The consequences could be ugly."
Kurama piped up, "What if she does not want to return to Japan with us?"
"You have my permission to use force if necessary," Koenma replied. "But, I sincerely hope that it won't be necessary."
Hiei stood up, "Can we just leave, now? Some of us have other things that we'd rather be doing."
"By all means, everyone, do be on your way [1]," the child ruler urged.
******************
Meanwhile, on the other side of the world, where it was just now passing into nighttime, a certain girl was busily getting ready for bed.
"MOM!" she yelled. "I CAN'T FIND MY SHIRT!!!"
Her mother's muffled reply came floating up the stairs. "Check in your closet, Ivy!"
After rooting around in what probably resembled more an area were a bomb had gone off, rather than a closet, Ivy emerged, triumphantly, grasping an over-sized, light green t-shirt. "Victory!" she shouted.
While she was still pulling the shirt over her head, Ivy tried turning on her computer, which failed miserably, and ended up with her on the floor in a mess of green cloth, skin, and hair. When she finally got dressed properly, she then turned on her computer.
Her AOL program [2] started immediately. "Welcome!" a cheerful voice boomed, "You've got mail!" Ivy promptly sat on her squishy computer chair and started clicking and typing away.
An hour later, Ivy signed off and hopped into her bed. Switching on her sleep mode on her alarm clock [3], she leaned back and let the lyrics of Evanescence fill her mind as she slowly drifted off to sleep.
How can you see into my eyes like open doors
Leading you down into my core
Where I've become so numb without a soul
My spirit sleeping somewhere cold
Until you find it there and lead
It back home
(Wake me up)
Wake me up inside
(I can't wake up)
Wake me up inside
(Save me)
Call my name and save me from the dark
(Wake me up)
Bid my blood to run
(I can't wake up)
Before I come undone
(Save me)
Save me from the nothing I've become
Now that I know what I'm without
You can't just leave me
Breathe into me and make me real
Bring me to life
(Wake me up)
Wake me up inside
(I can't wake up)
Wake me up inside
(Save me)
Call my name and save me from the dark
(Wake me up)
Bid my blood to run
(I can't wake up)
Before I come undone
(Save me)
Save me from the nothing I've become
We need to run
(I've been living a lie there's nothing inside)
We need to run
Frozen inside without your touch without your love
Darling only you are the life among the dead
All this time I can believe I couldn't see
Kept in the dark but you were there in front me
I've been sleeping a thousand years it seems
Got to open my eyes to everything
Without a thought with out a voice without a soul
Don't let me die here there must be something more
Bring me to life
(Wake me up)
Wake me up inside
(I can't wake up)
Wake me up inside
(Save me)
Call my name and save me from the dark
(Wake me up)
Bid my blood to run
(I can't wake up)
Before I come undone
(Save me)
Save me from the nothing I've become
Bring me to life
We need to lie
(I've been living a lie there's nothing inside)
We need to lie
We need to lie
******************************
Ivy awoke with a start; she'd had the most bizarre dream, but that wasn't the only the only thing that woke her. There were voices coming from downstairs.
'Oh crap!' she thought. 'Burglars!'
*******************************
Meanwhile, Yusuke ad the others had managed to get ready and all with, more or less, no problems. Hiei had almost killed Kuwabara for whining that he couldn't bring his kitten. [AN: Just don't even ask.] But they'd all gotten through the portal in one piece.
Now that they were inside the house, they needed to find the girl. Kuwabara wandered around the kitchen. "Do you think they've got food? I'm hungry." Hiei rolled his eyes, but, before the short fire youkai could utter anything, Kurama placed a finger over his lips and signaled for them to all be quiet.
The stairs creaked once, but then, were silent. "Someone's awake," Kurama whispered.
*********************************
Ivy gripped her baseball bat tightly and eased herself down the stairs. Unfortunately, she'd forgotten about the one creaky stair. She stepped on it, and, almost mockingly, creaked what seemed to be its loudest creak ever. Cursing silently to herself, Ivy silently made it down the rest of the stairs.
When she got all the way downstairs, Ivy suspected to see one or two guys dressed in black with masks, stuffing whatever they could find into bags. What she found was...nothing. Absolutely nothing. She was dumbfounded. She had definitely heard voices downstairs.
"Great," she mumbled to herself, "Good job, Ive. You've officially gone nuts. Hearing things, ha. Next your gonna see some weird, freaky lookin' people standing behind you."
She turned around to go back to bed. "Holy freakin' crap!!!" she yelped. Kuwabara screamed; Yusuke yelled; and Kurama just stared, mouth half open. "Wh-who the heck are you people!!!"
"I'm Yusuke, and this here's Kuwabaka, I mean, Kuwabara," said boy with short, slicked back hair and big brown eyes. "And I am Kurama," said a very pretty boy in the back. Another goofy looking, orange-haired boy turned slightly red, "Urameshi! That wasn't funny!" The brown-haired one laughed, "Sorry, Kuwabara, I couldn't resist."
By now, Ivy was thoroughly freaked out. "If you people don't tell me who the heck you are, I'm gonna start swingin'!" she warned, brandishing her bat. "Woah, there, missy," the boy with the slicked back hair said. "We ain't gonna hurt ya. We just need ya ta come somewheres with us, OK?"
***************************
"Actually, not OK," the girl said. "I'm not going anywhere," she finished defiantly. Yusuke shook his head. "Kurama," he said, "You might have take over here." "With pleasure," Kurama answered. He stepped forward, toward the girl.
Now, the girl had been standing in the shadows, but she stepped backwards into the light, away from Kurama, and he got a good look at her. Deep brown hair hung in her face, almost covering her blue eyes. She wasn't exactly tall, somewhere between Genkai and Hiei's height.
Meanwhile, Hiei had separated himself from the group and was waiting in the shadows behind behind his target. He slowly edged himself a little closer to her, catching Kurama's eye. It was apparent this girl wasn't giving them any options. Hiei raised a questioning eyebrow at Kurama, who nodded, giving his consent. He prepared to leap.
*****************************
Ivy felt for sure that she felt someone behind her. She tensed up, and, in one fluid motion, spun and swung her bat, connecting with someone or thing. A quiet "kuso" was heard. And Ivy jumped back in fright.
Yet, another boy emerged from the shadows. This one was considerably shorter than the rest, around Ivy's own height. He had unusual spiky black hair, and a patch of white in the shape of a star rested over top his forehead. And boy did he look ticked. 'Oh crap.'
********************************
CE: Now, I should end here, but I won't, cause I'm having too much fun writing this and I'm bored silly. While I'm pausing here, let me explain the numbers inside these [].
1: This is sorta an inside joke.
2. I don't have AOL, but I think that dude's voice is so cool!! ^_^
3. My clock has this cool feature where you push a button and music
(CD or radio) plays, and it stops after, like, a half-hour or so. It's
great to fall asleep to your favorite music.
And, one more thing, then you can go back to reading. The lyrics for
that song are there for a reason, that's why I so painstakingly wrote
them from simply listening to "Bring Me to Life" over and over and
over.
And, I lied. One more thing. (You're about ready to choke me right?
^_^) I've hit 14 pages!! W00tage!! My longest thing written ever.
*pats herself on the back* Now you may continue reading.
*********************************
Yusuke burst out laughing as Hiei appeared out of the shadows with an extremely huge bump on his head. He looked ready to eat someone. "Hiei..." Kurama's voice warned.
The girl looked about ready to scream her head off, which Yusuke was surprised she hadn't already. Hiei had retreated to a far corner of the room, mumbling something about stupid onnas and rubbing his head.
Kurama chuckled softly, "I'm sorry if we startled you, Ivy. But-" "Hey! Now wait one darn minute! How the heck do you know my name? I sure don't remember meeting you anytime," Ivy retorted. "Yeah," was Yusuke's input, "How come you know her name and I don't?" Kurama's lips curved upward into one of his smiles, "You should listen more carefully to Koenma."
"Hello? I am still here, ya know?" Kurama looked over and nodded, "Of course. Now, as I was saying, do you believe in demons?" Ivy nodded. "Well, that's good. And it saves me a lot of explaining. You see, Hiei, the one you hit, and I, are demons."
Ivy's eyes widened in shock, and she collapsed, unconscious. Yusuke just sort of stared at Ivy's fallen body. "Well," he finally said, breaking the uncomfortable silence. "That went rather well." "Indeed," was Kurama's reply. "Hn," was Hiei's from over in the corner. Everyone had forgotten about Kuwabara, whose comment was, "Is she dead?"
Kurama walked over to the unconscious girl's body and gently lifted her into his arms. "What are you doing, fox?" Hiei questioned. "Taking her to Koenma," Kurama answered. "Or would you rather her wake up and then take her." Kuwabara shook his head. "Let's just take her and get outta here. I'm still hungry." "It's fine with me," said Yusuke.
Yusuke opened his communicator and paged Botan, whose smiling face appeared in the small window. "I guess you got her," Botan quipped. "Roger," Yusuke replied. "Beam us up, Scotty!" Botan stared at Yusuke, apparently confused. Yusuke shrugged. "Hey, I saw it on one of those weird American shows. I meant, get us outta here, Botan!" "OK, Yusuke."
A swirling vortex appeared in the center of the room. One by one, each of the Reiki-Tantei jumped in, with Kurama going last. After the portal closed, the vase that was sitting one the coffee table, fell over and shattered, scattering the once red, and now blackened roses across the carpet.
*******************************
CE: Two hours, three bags of Skittles, two sodas, and 17 pages later, a new fic is born. Yay!! And, about the ending, the roses also have a meaning. *evil laugh* You'll just have to wait and see.
Any suggestions, praise, criticism, (no flames, please!), or just plain old reviews are greatly appreciated. All my chapters might not be as long as this one. This might even be the longest thing you see me write, LOL! Again, I'll try to update at least once a week, and probably two chapters a update.
And could someone please help me with formatting??? My paragraphs are supposed to be more spaced, and they're too close together. Please, if you could help, email me at: pixiegurl@verizon.net Thank you!
Remember, reviews + time = more chapters!!!
Ja ne!!!

Botan stared at Yusuke, apparently confused. Yusuke shrugged. "Hey, I saw it on one of those weird American shows. I meant, get us outta here, Botan!" "OK, Yusuke."
A swirling vortex appeared in the center of the room. One by one, each of the Reiki-Tantei jumped in, with Kurama going last. After the portal closed, the vase that was sitting one the coffee table, fell over and shattered, scattering the once red, and now blackened roses across the carpet.
*******************************
CE: Two hours, three bags of Skittles, two sodas, and 17 pages later, a new fic is born. Yay!! And, about the ending, the roses also have a meaning. *evil laugh* You'll just have to wait and see.
Any suggestions, praise, criticism, (no flames, please!), or just plain old reviews are greatly appreciated. All my chapters might not be as long as this one. This might even be the longest thing you see me write, LOL! Again, I'll try to update at least once a week, and probably two chapters a update.
And could someone please help me with formatting??? My paragraphs are supposed to be more spaced, and they're too close together. Please, if you could help, email me at: pixiegurl@verizon.net Thank you!
Remember, reviews + time = more chapters!!!
Ja ne!!!
