Here goes….

Chapter one, Arrival

Something sticky was attached to her arm, her throat was dry, and there was a nasty taste in her mouth. Her right side was slightly sore. Voices were conversing very loudly somewhere off to her left, along with a steady beeping sound. Her head was starting to hurt a little…

She groaned, pulling open her heavy eyelids to meet a ceiling that looked like it belonged in a hospital. The bed she was in didn't feel like her own… Confused, she sat up quickly and looked about the room, catching some details before she became dizzy from sitting up so fast. An I.V. was attached to her arm, a heart monitor was blipping off in the corner of her room, the source of the beeping sound. She was in hospital clothes, and was in a hospital bed. 'What happened to me?' she thought to herself, regaining her composure.

And that's when she saw them. A girl with long magenta hair; and a boy with slicked back black hair. They were sitting by a small circular table; they must have been the ones who had been talking before. She studied them quietly as they turned to her, and she asked, "Why am I in a hospital?"

The girl answered in a very un-girlish voice, "We found you unconscious in the middle of a street yesterday." She felt stupid, realizing that this red-head "girl" was actually a guy. She flushed slightly at this mistake, a little grateful for her darker pallor. "A street?"

"It kinda looked like you got hit by a car, or fell off a building." The boy with slicked back hair piped in. She looked over at him and nearly gasped. He looked exactly like the boy from Hoai's favorite show. . . Wait, Hoai! The look on her face slipped from surprise and recognition, to worry.

"Hey," She began desperately, "Was there a little boy around? He looks kinda Hawaiian?"

"Yeah."

"Were is he? Is he here?" They both nodded. She moved to the side of her bed, swiftly removing the I.V. in the arm. She stood shakily as the boys gave nervous looks to each other. "I don't think you should…." The red-haired boy began, but she shot him an icy glare that caught him off guard momentarily. "I want to see my brother to make sure he's okay." She tottered to the door as the black-haired boy glanced to his friend, and then went after the determined short girl.

She jumped slightly as he lifted her arm and wrapped it around his shoulders helping her balance herself on her right side (which she had been favoring), even if he was a quite a few inches taller than her. "Thanks." She murmured, allowing him to lead her to her bother's room as the long red haired boy in pink followed behind.

She pulled away from the boy in green to rush to her brother, who was asleep and also had an I.V. attached to his arm. He had a few cuts, but other than that he looked fine. She threw her arms around him, "Thank God you're okay." The jolting movement his sister caused made the boy jolt awake. He started pushing her away, whining, "Get away! You're embarrassing me!"

She released him, laughing. "Ah, so you're awake! We're in the hospital. Seems we got hit by a car. . ." She winked as her brother open his mouth to protest, but he got the hint. He looked over her shoulder and his eyes widened in amazement. "Yusuke?" He whispered, but then caught the warning look she gave him.

She turned, smiling, to Yusuke, the boy with slicked back hair, and the pretty boy (whose name she didn't know) who was just entering the room. "Is it okay if I have a talk with my brother? Alone?" They nodded, leaving the room.

She turned to her brother, the smile on her face dropping to replace dead serious, don't-question-me look. "Okay, first things first. I don't think we should tell then what really happened. Heck, I don't understand it myself, but we really don't need to be labeled as loonies. We got pulled into that bright light somehow, and now we're here. Don't know exactly where 'here' is, but-" Here her brother interrupted her, blurting excitedly, "We're in Yu Yu Hakusho! We got sucked through the T. V.-"

"Stop it." She hissed. "I know, we need to figure out how to get back. This place gives me the creeps. And I want to know how we got here."

"Back to what? Home? Dad's never home, mom's gone, I have no friends!" Hoai threw his arms in the air, and Zamba looked slightly surprised. She had always assumed he had lots of friends; he brought them home a lot. "I wanna stay here."

She pulled a chair over. She watched him as he pouted; a brooding expression on her face. "You use to have friends over all the time… What happened?" She asked gently.

Yusuke poked his head in. "Hey, me and Kurama have to go. We'll see you later." She nodded as he left, then turned back to her sibling. He seemed hesitant, staring at the door sadly. "They only came over because our house was big and had lots of stuff. That's the only reason they ever talked to me. They weren't really my friends. Just people who acted." His eyes began to water slightly as he attempted to force his face to stay strait, but his emotions ran through his eyes. Anger and sadness and betrayal….He had trusted them, and had fallen, hard. She wrapped her arms around her brother comfortingly as he began to cry silently into her shoulder.

She didn't really know what to say. So she held him until he pushed away awhile later. "Sorry." He said, wiping at the dry tear-tracks. She pushed him lightly. "You better be sorry!" He looked up confused. "Why didn't you tell me earlier so I could do something about it?" She asked him softly. He shrugged, looking worn out. Zamba sighed, pulling her brother into another hug. "You better get some sleep, we'll figure out what to do later. Oh, and don't talk about this being a show or anything like that." Hoai nodded. She left the room and returned to her own.

"What do I do now?" She asked herself, running her hands through her hair. "I have no money, no place to go, I can't stay in this hospital forever. . ."
