Chapter 2
Yusuke walked down a busy shopping street with his hands in his pockets. He had nothing to do and he hadn't heard anything from Boton or Koenma since the other day.
"Stupid baby's probably finding something that'll get me killed, again." He kicked a rock on the ground and turned the corner.
"Oof!" he walked straight into someone and fell to the ground "Hey, watch where you're going!" He brushed himself and stood up.
"You should watch where you're going, Yusuke!" a high voice retorted.
Yusuke whipped around to see Keiko with her hands on her hips. She was glaring a hole in Yusuke's head. A girl stood next to her, slightly in the shadow of an overhang, holding in a laugh.
"I suppose you think this is funny" he shot at her, fists clenching.
"That's no way to talk to someone you've never even met!" Keiko glared at him "If you had bothered to show up at school today you'd know she just moved here!"
"Its okay" the girl smiled. She looks familiar… Yusuke thought "Yusuke Urameshi, right? I've already heard about him" she laughed and moved to step forward, but tripped and fell onto Keiko. She was knocked off balance and fell into a puddle on the street.
"Keiko! Are you okay?" Yusuke asked. He reached over to help her up.
"I'm so sorry!" the girl stepped out of the shadows. It was Anne. "Did I hurt you?"
"I'm fine" Keiko smiled "Just wet"
"Good thing we're in the shopping district" Anne laughed.
"Yeah, you could use another skirt" Yusuke commented. Keiko slapped him.
"Why are you so immature?" she shouted "I'm going to dry off!" She marched into the nearest store and slammed the bathroom door.
"What'd I do?" Yusuke asked, puzzled.
"Are you really that clueless?" Anne asked as she walked after Keiko.
"Clueless? About what?" He asked, trailing after Anne. She just shook her head and sat down outside of the bathroom. Yusuke sat next to her.
"What are you doing here?" he asked. After the "meeting" they had all gone their separate ways, Kurama and Hiei had headed deeper into the forest, Kuwabara and Yusuke had walked towards town, and Anne went back the way she came from. Yusuke still wasn't sure if she was a demon or not.
"I was hanging out with Keiko" she only half explained "But now that you're here I need to warn you" Anne gave a cautious glance at the bathroom door, "There's someone not too far away. I think it's a demon, and it's powerful"
"What?" Yusuke exclaimed "How can you tell?"
"I can hear it." The doorknob started to turn "Be careful, and don't forget, we just met" Anne stood up as the bathroom door opened. Yusuke followed her example.
"Yusuke this is Anne, in case you didn't have the decency to introduce yourself" she said, still fuming, Anne smiled.
"I just moved here from the States" Yusuke could hardly believe how quickly she seemed to change personalities. One minute she was warning him of danger and the next she was back to a cocky schoolgirl. That made Yusuke notice he wasn't the only one that didn't obey the dress codes. Keiko was in her uniform, and Anne wasn't.
"We're going shopping" Keiko said "Why don't you come with?" Her voice told him saying no wouldn't be smart. He grumbled a reply and Keiko took off with Anne and Yusuke behind her, neither looking very excited about shopping.
"You know," Yusuke began as Keiko stepped into a clothing store "For hanging out you don't look too happy"
"Shopping isn't my thing" Anne rolled her eyes "The only reason I haven't left is because you'd probably ditch her too"
He gave a nervous laugh as Keiko stepped out of the dressing room. She wore a short red skirt and a matching blouse.
"How does this look?" she asked, giving the skirt a little twirl.
"You don't want my opinion" Anne smiled. She was wearing jeans and a t-shirt, again.
"Hmm" Keiko looked in the mirror "Let's go to the next store" She walked back into the dressing room. Yusuke groaned and Anne laughed and elbowed him in the gut.
Five stores later Keiko finally had an outfit and the three were walking to the park.
"Well, I guess I should leave you two alone" Anne grinned slyly.
"What?" Yusuke and Keiko both exclaimed. Anne opened her mouth to tease them, but instead shouted
"Watch out!" she shoved the two into the wall as a giant stone block fell down.
"What the hell was that?" Someone called out.
Right above where Yusuke and the girls had been standing was a huge hole in the side of a building. Rocks still fell down like a rain, but they were much smaller than the block that had nearly crushed the teenagers. Anne stepped away from the wall to check out the damage, but froze before she could look closer.
"Yusuke?" she whispered. Yusuke pulled up Keiko and looked at Anne. She was visibly pale.
"What's wrong?" Yusuke took a step closer to her. Keiko was too busy staring at the hole to notice him or the crowd growing around them.
"That guy I was talking about, he's here" Anne looked at him "And he's stronger than I thought, but…" she trailed off.
"Where?" Yusuke asked, calmed than he expected.
"Behind us" she closed her eyes "And it sounds like he's on a motorcycle"
"You can hear all that from Spirit Song?"
"No" she opened her eyes "I can hear someone revving their engine, which probably means they want to take credit for this" she pointed at the wall.
Yusuke nodded, Anne was smarter than she looked.
"Watch Keiko. I'll be right back" He turned around to see a man on a motorcycle, just like she said.
"Be careful" she nodded back and stepped closer to Keiko.
"Where's Yusuke?" Keiko asked absently. Shock, maybe. Anne thought.
"Something came up" Anne smiled at her "He'll be back as soon as he can"
"Oh" Keiko's eyes flashed disappointment then anger, but eventually just sighed "Alright"
Even then, Anne heard Yusuke and the mystery man's Songs move and another familiar one come closer.
"Keiko! Anne! What are you doing here?" Kuwabara called.
"Keiko was still staring with the rest of crowd, so Anne whispered,
"Something punched a hole in the building, and Yusuke's gone off with him"
"Urameshi did what?" Kuwabara exclaimed.
"Be quiet!" Anne hissed. She glanced around, but no one was listening.
"Who'd he go with?" he asked, quieter. His hand clenched in a fist, ready to summon his Sword if he needed to.
"I don't know." she shook her head. They could hear an ambulance and police cars in the distance, coming closer. Not that they could do much good.
