When I was younger I knew I was different. My family would keep me locked away in the safety of our home. I knew it was to protect me, that it was important for me to control myself and everyday I would work at containing myself until I was too tired to go on. It wasn't until my parents passed away leaving just my older sister and I did I truly realize how different I truly was. When it happened my sister took me away from our ansesteral home and I promised myself that Kazuma Kuwabara would be a normal girl. I made myself believe that seeing spirits was all in my head and that the demons that would sometimes follow me weren't real. That was two years ago and I still can't ignore them...

"Kazuma , are you up sis you're gonna be late for school?" a voice called up the stairs.

"In a minute Shizuru!" The small orangette replied from in front of the mirror. "Okay Kazuma no fighting and no ghost today. Just meet the guys and go to class. Especially no ghost today." She told herself as she fixed her short reddish orange victory curls. She grabbed her light blue uniform jacket and placed it or matching school skirt. " and remember just ignore Urameshi and do not lose your temper."

"Talking to yourself little princess. Should I be worried?" Teased Shizuru learning in the doorway.

"Uh no no I'm just gonna go now. You must be hearing things because I didn't say anything, uh got to go bye." running past the eldest girl and down the stairs.

Below the window you can see the young girl shutting the gate and greeting the group of teenage boys and begin to make their ways down the street laughing and talking.

"Hey Kuwabara it's Urameshi." Kazuma looked up spotting said boy walking towards them.

"See you guys later." She waved them off as they stepped into the school gates. "This is a surprise. Don't you normally wait until lunch before you show up when you decide to come?" she told the approaching black haired boy.

"Don't be smart Kuwabara it's not appealing or cute." Yusuke sneered walking past her.

"Jeeze! What put you in a mad mood?" She asked turning to follow.

"Nothin, just mother of the year on ass." He complained " I swear have the time I have no idea where's she at and the other half she wants to play like she actually give damn."

"Urameshi go easy she's your mom." Kazuma pleaded.

"Are you gonna lecture me too?"He grabbed her and pulled her against him they were looking eye to eye. "No I would never," her body shook in his hands," I wouldn't be the best person to pass judgment on you or your mother. I'm sorry."

Yusuke stepped back from her and pulled her with him as he made his was up the stairwell. "Where are we going my class is the other way?"

"Like you really need to go to class. You get straight As." He cut in. "We're going to the roof."

"Just ya? I can't go up there alone with you." Kazuma pleaded.

"Why not!"

"It doesn't matter why not, I just can't."

Yusuke pushes Kazuma against the wall, his arms on either side. He was looking down on her. Their hard gazes meeting. Kazuma felt like she couldn't breathe.

"Tell me why?" He asked her, his breath hitting her face.

Kazuma looked at their feet and took a breath. "It'll be inappropriate if I skipped class with you. People already talk. They think we do things."

"To hell with what everybody thinks. Since when do you care anyhow."

"I don't. But people..."

"Fuck them Kuwabara. Let's go. " He pulled her up the stairs.

Later Yusuke was leaning against the wall smoking and Kazuma was taking notes in a text book on the air conditioning unit. He tossed the bud and made his way next to her. She ignored him and continued writing. He closed the book in her lap and tossed it on her bag. She looked at him and smiled. They both stared for a moment before laughter broke out.

"Yusuke Urameshi, please report to the principle office immediately. I know you're here Urameshi." The loud speaker cut in.

Their foreheads were against each other. They looked into each others eyes and burst into more laughter. They're were so close against each other when the laughter died down, Yusuke made to connect with her face when Kazuma looked over.

"Hey Keiko! What's up?" The pair both turned to second girl standing in front of the open door.

"Looking for you two delinquents. Mr. Takenata has been calling your name all morning Yusuke. You barely come to school as is, which gives us a bad attendance average, which gets me in trouble as class representatives. Why do the two of you even bother coming to school anyway if you're just going to be inappropriate with each other?"

Kazuma jumped off the unit and grabbed her bag making her way to the door. She waved just inside the hallway. " Ya know Keiko I hate to run but I got homework to do. Got to stay number one."

"Nice skirt!"

"All the girls have to wear these. Just like all the boys have to wear blue dress suits, which I noticed you're not."

" Gimme a break, I look better in green."

Yusuke stands behind her, lifting her skirt. "Nice skirt, lace?"

"Yusuke you jerk." Slapping his face and stomping off.

Later Kazuma was walking home laughing and talking to her friends Komada and Okubo. Sirens and flashing lights passed the teens. Coming up to a crowd the teens could hear pieces of what people were saying. Working through the crowd they came upon a boy being held by a woman crying being looked a paramedic and a paramedic knelt over a boy in a green suit. Kazuma held her breath and when she looked up she knew it in her bones it was true. Yusuke Urameshi was dead.
