"Damn it, where're those damn ambulances?!" one guy roared. I stood up, walking away from the sight. I couldn't believe what just happened. Yusuke died, in front of me...

Now I know how Zakk must have felt when he saw me get hit by the car. I flinched. I miss my family and friends.

"AHHHHH!!" I jumped at the sudden scream. I looked around, then realized the voices were coming from above. There, I saw them, my eyes widening in disbelief. Yusuke and the ever-so faithful Botan, the Ferry Girl of Spirit World, or Reikai, were in full sight. I looked at the other people, but they didn't notice them flying, of all things.

"I can see them?" I asked myself softly.

"So you're saying I'm dead?" Yusuke asked in disbelief. I cocked my head. Interesting.

"Bingo!" Botan chirped, flashing him a cheesy smile. I cringed. Then, the sound of police and ambulance sirens filled my ears and echoed through the block. I swiveled my head and saw a few police cars and two ambulances surrounding the body of fourteen year old Yusuke. I ran over to the spot, staring as one doctor examined the little boy, who was bawling his eyes out.

A few scrapes, cuts, and bruises surrounded his tiny body. As the doctor flashed a small flashlight in both his wide, frightened eyes, he smiled at his partner.

"Don't worry, Doc. The little one is fine," he announced in a joyous tone. The other doctor looked grim as he nodded slightly.

"At least one of them is OK." The doctor who examined the little boy winced when his partner said that as he lifted up the littole boy and put him in one ambulance. The other doctor sighed.

"He is dead." When I looked up, Yusuke feigned shock. His chocolate brown eyes were widened as he glanced at Botan, who only smiled. I just looked at them and I walked away, my shoulders hunching over as I stuffed my hands into my pockets, looking deadly. As I walked away, I could hear two voices, finally.

"Uhh, Botan?" Yusuke asked weakly.

"Yes?"

"... No one can see me, right?"

"Yes!" I glanced skywards and saw Yusuke thinking for a moment before he proceeded to float towards me. He was sitting pretzel-style as he floated in front of me. His pale white skin looked creamy, his chocolate brown eyes full of wonder, his green jumpsuit even looked newer!!

"So, she can't see or feel me?" Yusuke asked after a long moment of silence, using his right index finger to poke my nose. I felt it, and I was getting annoyed. He's messing with me because 'I can't see him'.

"Not that I know of," Botan answered. Her pink eyes stared into my amethyst eyes. I blinked as Yusuke's face got closer to mine. My nose twitched as I shut my eyes tightly. I held up a fist and punched Yusuke as hard as I could.

The funny thing is... He actually was thrown into a building. He screeched as he went through the wall without actually crashing it. Botan gasped and followed him on her oar. Her pink kimono ribbon was getting whipped by the amount of wind that forced its way towards her.

And, a really weird thing to feel, mind you, I could feel a sweatdrop appear on the back of my head. I blinked and shrugged. I knew the whole plot of YuYu Hakusho. So Kuwabara and Yusuke met me. So what? It's not like I'm going to major role in their lives.

And now, I have to go to the market before dinner. Damn my ability to get distracted!! I began to run away from the spot, forgetting about Botan and Yusuke. They won't find me, anyway. As I ran past a few buildings, I past Sarayashiki Junior High again, slowing my steps. I looked at the building, how it stood high and proud of itself. And I saw Keiko walk out of the building. She was humming something. Oh man...

"Keiko? Keiko Yukimura?" I called out, staring at her. She stopped her tracks and looked at me. Her eyes seemed blank as she did a less-than enthusiastic wave. "Hey, I have to tell you somethin'!" Keiko stopped, quirking an eyebrow. She walked towards me, as did I. When we met up with each other, I panted. I looked at the tar as Keiko stayed silent.

"So, umm... What is it?" she asked quietly and shyly. I glanced at her, and she nearly cried at my sight. I guess my eyes were full of worry and sadness. "W-what happened?" she stammered. I sighed as I awkwardly hugged her. I seemed to resist the hug, but I knew if I tried to hug her after I told her the news, she would run away. And besides, I don't expect her to hug me back.

And, like I expected, she didn't hug me back, although she seemed confused. "What. Happened?"

"... I s'ppose you know Urameshi?" She immediately pulled away from me, her hand covering her mouth.

"What's wrong? Where's Yusuke? Is he OK?" she flung at me quickly. Tears filled her eyes as she wiped her eyes with the back of her hand.

"He got hit by a car-" Cue the waterworks. Before I was able to react, tears sprang quickly from the brunette's eyes. I was speechless as Keiko began to cry loudly, screaming out 'Yusuke!' What was I to say? I'm sorry your boyfriend got hit by a car. I'd probably say that sarcastically by accident!

"... I, uhh... I have to go..." I turned around and walked slowly and painfully away from the crying girl. I wanted to comfort her, but it was hard to deal with. I might end up getting more emotional than her, and... I can't get involved with the anime! Or manga... Or both. I'll screw everything up.

"Y-YUSUKE!!" Keiko screamed at the top of her lungs. I winced. I didn't want to leave, but I had to. I cannot get involved anyhow. I've already made myself visible in Yusuke, Okobu, Kuwabara, and Keiko's lives. Who's nex-

Wait, I shouldn't say that. It'll come true...

And besides, I still have to get the lettuce and milk. So, as I walked around the seemingly familiar town, stuffing my hands into my PJ bottoms' pockets, I looked into the blue sky. A few fluffy clouds, no doubt, but still, a very beautiful day. I can imagine seeing my anime mother painting this sky, wiping away sweat from her forehead, only to find out before she goes to bed that white and blue paint has taken over her forehead...

And then, I saw a market. A guy with spiky black hair was at a lettuce stand, selling the spherical vegetables. I walked slowly up to him, still burned from the incident with Keiko. I feel so bad, maybe I should go back-

No! I can't. I vowed I wouldn't get involved...

"How many, Miss?" the man asked, breaking me out of my thoughts. I gave him a small smile.

"Three, please." ... Holy crap, I actually knew the amount? Maybe I'm just having a smart attack. No, a memory attack. Yeah, that's it... Though, I don't recall 'Mom' telling me-

"OK." The man proceeded to take a small plastic bag and put three heads of fresh lettuce in it. As I took out the money 'Mom' had given me, I went back to my thoughts.

Surely, I wouldn't damage the show too much if I decided to intervene with a few things, every now and then.

What am I saying? I can't get involved!

"Here," the man said, and I paid him the amount of money needed. I walked off into a groc. store, seeing a half-price on milk on a sign. I looked at the money left over, counting it.

If it was American money, it would be 3.58. So, I should be good...

-Meanwhile, with Yusuke and Botan (Normal POV)-

"Yusuke! Yusuke, are you OK?" the bluenette asked softly, shaking the teenager gently. He immediately jumped up by reaction. Two of his short, raven bangs fell onto her cheeks as he groaned painfully.

"What the hell was t-that?" he stammered, rubbing the growing bump on his head. Botan covered her mouth with her hand, staring at the bump.

"Are you OK?" she asked in a concerned tone.

"I'm fine," he spat out bitterly. "Now, I thought I couldn't be seen by anyone, firstly," he said, not beating around the bush. "And secondly, how was that girl able to hit me?" Botan blinked, then looked thoughtful for a second.

"Well, I can answer your first question," she said after a moment. "The girl could possibly have a strong spiritual sense, and was maybe able to see you?" She sounded more confused than he did, and he noticed it.

"OK, why must you sound so confused?" Botan sighed, slouching.

"Yusuke, I didn't think anyone would have that strong of spiritual awareness, which is why I didn't think anything of it," she confessed. "I can't even remember the last time a mortal was able to see a spirit, let alone hit one. If anything, I would have guessed that maybe she could sense your presence, not see. Do you understand?" Yusuke didn't. But he lied, and told her he did before an idea popped in his mind.

"Botan?"

"Yes?"

"What if the girl wasn't human?" Botan blinked in confusion.

"H-huh?"

"What if that girl that hit me wasn't a mortal?"

"What are you saying, Yusuke?" Yusuke moaned, slapping his forehead. Botan looked on innocently enough. She gave out a small smile before a small sweatdrop appeared on the back of her head.

"OK," Yusuke started to explain, "what if the girl had died before? What if she died once, and came back as a human? Wouldn't that give her lots of spiritual awareness bullcrap?" Botan blinked, letting the words sink in. She put her left pointer finger on her chin, glancing towards the ceiling.

"You know, Yusuke, there's a possibilty of that happening. It may not be a strong possibilty," she said thoughtfully, "but, it's still plausible that she may have died once. Or a few times, perhaps, and came back to life. I could look it up..." She trailed off, twiddling her thumbs. Yusuke sighed.

"Well, what am I gonna do now?" he asked, his eyes drooping. He was tired now.

"Uhh..." Botan thought for a minute, her eyebrows scrunched together before she thought of something. "Oh, I know! Let's follow the girl and see if we can communicate with her!" Yusuke blinked, then nodded eagerly.

"Maybe we can find something out!" Yusuke added as Botan grabbed Yusuke's hand and put the hand on the back of her oar. He didn't notice as he blabbed away. Botan giggled before she flew off the ground, with Yusuke in tow. When she flew at full speed, Yusuke shrieked.

"Damn it, Botan! Slow down!" His cries went unheard as Botan frantically searched for JJ...

-JJ's POV-

"Izzy!" I screeched, looking around the desolate room. Where was she?

"Here I am!" Izzy said in a playful tone. The soft sound of wings flapping slowly filled the room as she slowly and gently flew to the ground, Her long, silver wings took up nearly half of the room, so they were pretty big.

"Hey Iz, I have loads to tell you what happened while I was gone!"

"Really?"

"Yeah, I was walking around town when-" Soft knocking was heard at my door. Izzy froze as I whipped around towards the door.

"H-hello?" I called out, stuttering a bit.

"JJ? Hun," Mom asked gently. I nearly screamed. I turned around to tell Izzy to hide in the bathroom, but Izzy was gone. I blinked, stunned. The knocks on the mahogany door took me out of my trance as I scrambled to the door. I opened it, panting. Mom stood there, her eyes showing surprise.

"Uh, JJ. Could you keep it down? I swear, we could have an earthquake in this house with your yelling." We both stared at each other for a moment, then laughed. She has a way to keep a smile on my face, that's for sure.

"Sorry Mom," I apologized in a whisper. "I'll keep it down." She chuckled as she left, her footsteps making an echoing sound as she walked down the stairs. As soon as she was all the way down the stairs, I nearly fainted. That was close.

"Iz, you can come out now," I said quietly. She appeared before me, her eyes looking fearful as she glanced at the door. I got the hint. I turned around and slowly closed the door. It made a squeaking sound as I closed it. I could hear a sigh of relief coming from Izzy.

"That was close," she muttered.

"Too close," I added. I jumped on my bed and buried my face into the pillow. I could feel something hit my back lightly and I also heard Izzy giggle. I jumped and looked at my back. It was a Riyu Kosaka poster. She posed with her blowing a kiss to the camera, with the word 'Chu!' next to her face, on her right side.

"Oh Zeus..." I picked up the poster and gently laid it on the floor, then collapsed on my bed again.

"Hey JJ," Izzy said softly.

"Mmm?"

"I'll wake you up when your mother calls." I could hear the smile in her voice, and I smiled as well before my eyes flittered shut. I guess I could fall asleep for a catnap. After all, I was exhausted from today's events...
