I miserably sighed as the warm water of the shower ran down my body. A thick layer of steam filled the dark bathroom. Shadow hung upside down on the bar connected to the shower head; a cloth wrapped around the bar to give her grip and prevent her from slipping. She was wet from having flown through the running water a couple of times.
Lifting my head up, I looked at the little bat. She stretched her wings out before pulling them back in. As I smiled, I looked down at my left arm. A jagged scar starting from the back of my left hand and ending just near my elbow coiled around it. My eyes softened as I stared at it before I looked back at Shadow. She stared at me with her beady black eyes before I smiled at her.
I took the shampoo and soap and started washing myself up before I finally got out. Stepping out of the shower, I grabbed a towel and dried myself off before scurffing my hair up in a vain attempt to dry it. Wipping the fog off the mirror, I chuckled at myself as I started brushing my hair out and doing everything else before I raided the cabinet. I pulled a roll of bandages out and started to bandage my arm up with the first layer. Once finished, I grabbed something off the sink and tied it to my arm before wrapping another layer of bandages around it. Shadow landed on my head as I finished, making me smile before I headed out.
Entering my room and shutting the door, I froze as my eyes fell on the thing lying on my bed. For a minute I stared at it; Shadow flying off my head and into a hole in the ceiling. I screamed then next minute.
May set her mug of coffee onto the coffee table as she heard the doorbell ring. Standing up, she walked over to the door and opened it with a smile. "Hello!" She cheerily said to two boys standing outside the door.
The boy with black, gelled hair smiled, as did the orange haired boy. "Hey May!" The black haired boy said, grinning.
"It's so good you made it here Yusuke! You've grown so much!" May said, grinning back before looking at his friend, "And who's this?"
"The name's Kuwabara!" The orange haired boy beamed while hitting his chest with a fist.
May giggled, "Its nice to meet you, Kuwabara. I'm May." She said with a smile.
Kuwabara grinned before May waved them on in, "Come on in, Mikey's getting dressed at the moment." She said while walking back into the house with the boys following.
"Been eager to finally meet him." Yusuke said, looking around.
May blinked when he said 'him' before she giggled. They were in for a surprise. "Make yourselves at home. Might be a minute because of the uniform." May said as Kuwabara sat on the couch and Yusuke leaned against the back of it.
"So, when did he decide to start going to school?" Kuwabara asked, looking at May.
"Didn't have a say in it. I just decided to go through with it." May answered.
"I feel sorry for the guy; schools asinine" Yusuke muttered.
"Not if you put forth an effort." May said, shaking her head.
"Yeah but if you put forth an effort for a cause, those bastard teachers change the answers to make the test a failing grade!" Kuwabara growled, remembering that incident.
"Oh, I'm sure not all the teachers are like that." May said, not knowing what had exactly happened.
Yusuke and Kuwabara looked at each other before back at her. "Sure." Yusuke said while rolling his eyes.
I shuddered while my eye twitched. I hated skirts! I'd rather wear a pink shirt than a skirt! Shaking my head, I quickly slipped a pair of shorts on under the skirt before unwilling dragging myself from my bedroom while grabbing my bag. Shadow landed on my head as I headed to the stairs. "You're so lucky Shadow..." I muttered while walking down the steps.
I stopped half way down the stairs; my smile having vanished since locking my eyes on the dreaded uniform. Now my eyes locked on to two boys; both obviously much taller than myself. I am short unfortunately, barely reaching 4'11"... The one leaning on the couch had black hair, gelled back and wore a green shirt and matching pants. The other boy sitting down had orange hair and wore a blue shirt and matching pants. I stared at them as they stared at me.
Suddenly, the orange haired boy was kneeling in front of me holding my hand. "Well you be my girlfriend?" He asked, having hearts for eyes.
I stared at him before my purple eyes narrowed. A swift punch across the face was his answer. Sent toppling to the bottom of the steps, he laid there with swirls in his eyes now. May gasped, jerking her head to me, "Mikey!!"
I shrugged my shoulders, now remaining silent. "Thats Mikey!?" The black haired boy yelled while pointing at me.
I looked at him as he stared at me in disbelief. The orange haired boy was all ready on his feet; his left eye now black. "What do ya mean that's Mikey!?" He yelled.
I stared at them as May giggled, "I forgot to mention Mikey was a girl, not a guy." She said as both guys' jaws dropped.
I crossed my arms as they remained in disbelief. May only chuckled. Shaking his head, the black haired boy looked at me, "Well, Mikey, I'm Yusuke."
I simply stared at him, nodding my head ever so slightly. "And I'm Kuwabara!" The orange haired boy beamingly said while pointing at him self.
Yusuke and May shook their heads. I kept my eyes in a blank stare. "Come on you three, better get going before your late." May then said.
"Man! We gotta walk all the way back down that so-called drive way again?!" Yusuke complained.
As we all were starting down the dirt road that led down the hill, May suddenly came running out of the house. "Yusuke!" She yelled, waving a hand in the air.
We all stopped and turned around. She pulled Yusuke away from us and handed him something. "Give these to Mikey when the time is right." She said as Yusuke looked down at two items.
Wooden kunai resting in his hand, one having a chip in it. Yusuke nodded his head uncertainly while looking at the kunai. Slowly, he looked back at where May was, only to discover she wasnt there. Blinking in confusion, Yusuke looked around before Kuwabara yelled, "Come on, Urameshi!"
