Trapped Between Love and Hate!
Chapter 2
~Mira's POV~
It's been nearly a week since Yusuke's death. Since his disappearance I've been going to school every day (which to my friends is totally not me). I was walking to school when I saw these two guys talking about some blue dragon fountain pen (which are suppose to bring good luck) saying that if Yusuke was still alive that he would steal it or melt it into a weapon or something like that.
"Hey boys mind if I join in the conversation." A guy in a green outfit and greased up hair put his arms around them and said, "Its just so clever hahaha!"
"It's a ghost!" they yelled and ran away making Yusuke fall to the ground.
"They act like I've been dead or something." He said as he got to his feet and started to dust himself off.
"Well what do you expect I mean you have been dead for while. Besides not much as changed since then." I told him as I walked up to him.
"Uh, Mira."
"Yeah what? Why are you staring at me for? Do I have something on my face?" I asked him
"N-no its nothing." He finally answered
"Well in that case we better hurry up or we're going to be late." I grabbed his hand and pulled him toward the school.
"Since when do you care if we're late?" he asked
"I don't but it is your first day back don't you think you should at least arrive on time for once." I smiled.
So here we were in the school yard about a couple meters away form the doors. Tones of students were just standing around staring at us so I stopped about halfway. Yusuke looked to his left and the students standing there looked scared and ran inside. Then he looked to his right and the students did the same as on the left.
"I guess you're right not much as changed. Maybe I should have stayed dead."
"Yusuke don't…" I started to say but then someone's hand taped Yusuke's shoulder. "Uh Kuwabara."
"I hear ya. Life's a drag but don't worry, you'll be in ghost land soon! After I put you there myself." Kuwabara laughed
"Kuwabara, shouldn't you be thanking him for rescuing your Kitten?" one of his idiot friends asked.
"I'll thank him as soon as I'm finished beating him up! Geeze guys!" Kuwabara answered him
"Not much as changed at all." Yusuke added
"Don't be foolish." Mr. Takenaka hit Yusuke in the head with his black school case. "First period begins in one and a half minutes. I'm sure you two will be in your seats by then." He finished and walked away.
"Damnit! Takenaka I'm thinking I'm gonna have to skip."
"Oh no you don't. If I have to endure a boring day at school then so do you." I told him
"Yeah I thought he be smarter after being dead right?!" carrot top asked his dumb friends
"Right!" they answered
"Ooh that was cute." Yusuke sarcastically told him
Well there you have it, my weird best friend Yusuke and I guess carrot top as well. It is always like this. Anyway, Yusuke, Kuwabara and I walked to our first period together and that's when we walked into Kekyo so I told Yusuke I'd talk to him later as I took my seat by my friend Tanya.
When it comes to Kekyo and Yusuke its best to stay out of the way. Kekyo has this I think, crush on him and I have no clue if he likes her but then again I really could care less. After first period was over Tanya and I walked to gym. My least favorite class of the day. Yusuke of course ditched, as always. Today was basketball day so I and Tanya desided to just shoot some hoops.
Then Tanya and I said bye to one another as I headed to my other class. Soon as I walked in I heard people complaining about things missing form their bags and what not. Then it all goes quite as soon as Yusuke enters the class room.
"I'm hear." He yawned and stretched. He sat down and noticed that everyone was staring at him. "Alright, what's with the staring?"
"Oh come on guys you don't think Yusuke took all your missing stuff!" I stood up for him
"Yeah he's no thief." Kekyo added.
"He's a thug Kekyo and I don't think there's much of a difference. He did skip gym." A class boy told us.
"So that still doesn't give you a reason to accuse Yusuke of stealing your stupid pen!" I shouted
"What was that?"
"You heard me!" I got up in his face. That's when the door opened and Mr. Iwamoto walked in.
"Hey! What's this racket about?" he asked
"Urameshi stole my pen!" the dumb school boy answered.
"Is that so?"
"But he…"
"Miss Narumi I wasn't speaking to you. Come with me Urameshi!" Well I tried but I knew it didn't matter what I said or did since all the teachers are the same around here…..losers!
"Nice going dude!" I told the school boy as I took my seat.
"Hey I did what anyone else would. Urameshi is below us hahaha!" he laughed.
"SHUT THE HELL UP YOU DON'T KNOW HIM!" I yelled at him. After hat little outburst, the class was silent all period long. After school was over I waited for my brother Kyto. Soon as he caught up with me, we started for home.
"So, how was school? I heard Urameshi was back." He said
"Yeah he was school was ok I guess." I told him
"Well does this mean that your rebel phase is over?" he half smiled
"What do you mean rebel phase?" ok what in the world his he talking about
"Ya know, skipping and stuff." He explained
"Oh, nope that was just for a while Hehehe!" I told him. He just shook his head and I laughed at that. But my laughter was cut short do to something in the air that I felt. I looked to see if anything was wrong but it all looked fine that's when I heard someone yell and knew something was defiantly not right. I stared towards the big crowed that was looking down at something. I totally forgot about my brother when he caught hold of my arm. "I'll catch up with you at home I just want to see what's up ok."
He let go and nodded. Ya know sometimes my brother is so understanding and at others well….yeah. Anyway I made my way pass some of the crowd to see that a kid had just fainted. But that wasn't the weirdest part; the kids soul floated out of his mouth and up into the sky.
I moved back through the crowd and started to follow it. Ok I know ordinary people wouldn't be cashing a person's soul but hey I already told you, I'm not ordinary. The soul took a sharp turn around an ally then…..BAM! I ran into someone. I looked up to see that it was….."Yusuke!? What the hell are you doing here?" I asked him
"Well I was…Wait what are you doing here?" he asked back
"Me oh I was just….checking to see what was in this ally yeah that's it." I smiled at him. "Yep so what are you doing here?"
"Um….I took a wrong turn." He smiled back.
_he's lying
~Yusuke's POV~
_She's lying
"Hehehe well I guess I'll see ya around Yusuke!" Mira told me as she waved goodbye.
"See ya." I waved back. Ok now where did that little boy's soul go? Uptown became downtown real quick. Great some place this is. Ok Yusuke get it together one of these guys here have to…..hang on. "He's a monster!" I said as I saw horns on his head. So to be sure I pulled out my trusty eye glass thingy and…"There it is the orb thingy. Well here it goes." I was about to step forward when…
"Hey kid, you got some cash for me?" some dude asked me
"Sorry minor-League, I don't have time for you." I told him as more guys started to surround me.
"That's the wrong answer." Another guy with sunglasses said
"Well don't say I didn't give you a fair…..Warning!" then I pushed the guy and the others followed behind. I stopped to realize I took out all the guys and looked to see where that guy went. But it seemed that I lost him. So I started running after him. Lucky for me I could see his tracks. Then out of nowhere it started to rain, just my luck.
"Great this stupid rain is going to wash away his tracks." I shouted at myself then I saw an opening up ahead where no rain was falling so I took that as a lead and started walking towards it. When I got really close I could hear three guys fighting about something and one said he was leaving.
"Excuse me neighbors I couldn't help but notice there's no rain falling here. Maybe then next you guys go stealing some magic toys, you should hide where it's not so obviously sunny. Just a tip." I told them as I walked out from the bushes.
Who are you and how do you know about the artifacts?" a very short guy with black asked me.
"Give us your name." the tall dude I was following said
"Oh thank you, hoped you'd ask. Hello boys the names Yusuke, I'm a Spirit Detective." I told them
"Spirit Detective?" the ugly tall one asked
"Don't worry he's just one of Koenma's fools. He must have been the only human they could round up. His spirit energy is pathetic." Little shorty said. Then I noticed that the red haired one was walking away.
"Hey where are you going?" the short one asked
"I'm sorry I don't have time to be arrested." The red haired said
"Stop Kurama! You can't just walk out on our plan!"He shouted at him then disappeared
"Hey don't leave yet you guys I just got here! So much for manners." I said.
"Hahaha don't feel bad kid I'm much more polite then those two brats. I'll turn myself in nice and neat if I can't rip off your head!"
"Sounds like a deal just don't pull my hair."
"Haha but if you don't mind waiting, I need a little snack." He said as he took out the orb.
"What do you mean?" I asked confused
"I find this orb very useful. I never have to cook anymore. People don't realize how hard it is to eat human souls. You gotta cook the humans so they taste good but not enough to kill them. But this…it takes all the guess work out of it. Pulls them right from the body still alive. So all you get is good clean soul." He told me as he pulled out a soul and was about to eat it.
"Is that…is that the little kid?!"
"They're the best!"
"Monster! Spit him out!" I yelled as I kicked him in the gut and then punched him in the face. "And that's a knockout. That's right little boy your safe now. Fly on home to your body." I smiled then walked over to where the orb fell out of the guy's hands. "Two more to go." Just as I picked it up, he some how was behind me.
"For a human, you're pretty decent." He smiled
"What's your problem? Get back on the ground I hit you too hard for you to be on your feet!" I couldn't believe it any other time that kind of punch would leave them unconscious. And to make matters worse he started growing taller and way uglier.
"I think I'm in trouble." I said and he smiled at me then…..bam I get hit in to next month. "Next time I see Koenma, I've got to remember to ask him how to fight monsters."
"Easy kid, you ran away!" he answered as if it was a question when it totally wasn't. Then goes over and picks up a freakin tree and swigged it at me. This totally made me lose the orb.
"That's right the spirit gun thing." I just remembered and held out my finger. "Hey it's not working!" that's when it hit me I could only use it once and I all ready did. "Damnit Mr. Iwamoto screws me once again!"
"Do you know the best spices for a soul are? Some fear and a dash of pain Hehehe!"
"I'm really going to die…Again!"
