* Hello everyone! This is my first attempt at writing anime stories, so
feel free to criticize all you want! Just don't be mean about ok? And a
few compliments here and there would be nice too! I love YYH so very much,
even though I haven't seen all the episodes yet. And I know I'm totally
changing the plot of this cartoon, but this is the way I wanted it, so just
go with it. Well let's get started!*
Yusuke Urameshi sat cross-legged on the pavement, his back against the wall of a building, and his head tilted towards the sky. The sun was bright and the sky was clear. The bell for first class had rung just a few minutes ago, but already Yusuke was bored.
'How I ever let Keiko talk me into coming to school today---' he thought grumpily to himself. 'Now I have to sit here and do nothing until lunch. Either that or go to class.' Yusuke grimaced at that idea. He looked at his watch, sighed, and closed his eyes. Maybe he could sleep away the morning.
Just as he started to drift off to sleep, a shadow passed over him, blocking the sun. He opened one eye and glanced up at the obstruction. A girl stood hovering over him, grinning cheekily. Her two long, pastel purple pigtails bounced as she shook her head at him and giggled.
"Naughty, naughty," she said, wagging her finger at him. "Skipping class won't do you any good."
She sat down next to him, crossing her legs like he had, and smiled sweetly.
"My name's Dakarai." She told him. "I just moved here last weekend."
"Good for you." Yusuke said indifferently. "Now what do you want?"
Dakarai jumped back up and stretched. Her skirt twirled gracefully as she spun around to face him. She pulled at one of her pigtails thoughtfully.
"Actually, I'm kind of lost. Maybe you could help me? I'm trying to find the library. The class president, or something is supposed to meet me there. I think her name is Keiko."
Yusuke sat up. "Keiko?' he asked. Dakaria looked at him and smiled impishly.
"You know her?" she asked.
"Know her or not, I can't help you. I wouldn't know where to find the library to save my life."
Dakarai' sighed. "Oh, alright then." She pouted. " I guess I'll leave you alone." She winked at him and smiled again. "Don't work too hard now." She said, and with that walked elegantly away.
Yusuke stared after her. " Well that was a little weird," he mused, and closed his eyes again to try to get some sleep.

Kurama watched from his perch in a tree as the young boy stood awkwardly next to the drinking fountains. He shifted nervously from foot to foot, and clutched his lunch bag close to his chest.
Kurama felt pity for the small boy. It's always difficult being new, and this boy must be having an extremely arduous time fitting in. He appeared to be too shy to make friends on his own. Kurama dropped down from the tree and headed towards the boy. Perhaps if he started up a conversation, he could help ease the boy's anxiety.
"You look a little lost." He said gently, coming up behind the boy. " Are you having trouble finding the cafeteria?"
The boy blushed and looked at his feet. "Actually," he said shyly. " I'm waiting for my friend. She's supposed to meet me here." He turned expectantly toward the gate and continued talking. " She promised that we would have lunch together on our first day of school, so we wouldn't have to worry about eating alone."
"Does she not attend this school?" Kurama asked.
" No." The boy answered. Kurama waited for the boy to elaborate, but he didn't.
The boy turned back around to face Kurama. " I'm Dakoroi." He said softly. Kurama held out his hand and the boy hesitated before shaking it. He looked up at Kurama for the first time, and Kurama was struck with a sudden feeling that he had met this boy before, once long ago. He quickly shook the feeling off though. What a silly idea. Most likely he had just seen his face in a crowd somewhere.
He smiled at Dakoroi pleasantly. " Pleased to meet you Dakoroi." He said. " My name is---"
"DAKOROI!"
Kurama looked up to see a girl waving happily as she walked over to where he and Dakoroi were standing. She hugged him, and kissed him sweetly on the cheek.
" I see you've made friends quickly." She commented cheerfully. Dakoroi smiled timidly at her, but said nothing.
" So are you going to introduce us or what?" she asked, turning eagerly to Kurama.
" Oh, yes. This is my friend, Dakarai." Dakoroi said quietly to Kurama.
Kurama looked at them, somewhat confused. They looked identical. They both had thick lavender hair, although Dakarai's was pulled back into two long pigtails, and Dakoroi's hair was cut short. Both were of the same height and body type; small and slender, as if built for speed. And although one had vibrant ruby colored eyes, while the others were an icy blue, both pairs of eyes were large, and seemed to hold the secrets of the universe in their depths.
Even their names were similar. And yet these two were not related?
" Dakarai, this is Shuuichi." Dakoroi told his friend.
" How did you know my name?" Kurama asked. Dakoroi smiled.
" How can I not? You're all the girls' talk about."
Dakarai cocked her head, interested. " Oh, a lady's man. This should be fun." She pulled at one of her pigtails thoughtfully. " Have we met before?" She asked sweetly.
Kurama smiled back. " Not to my knowledge, no." he answered, although he had been thinking the exact same thing.
"You're probably right." Dakarai sighed. " Besides, I would have remembered a face as cute as yours." She winked at him, and walked to a shaded area and sat down. Kurama grinned inwardly as he followed Dakoroi to where his friend now sat, pulling out a sandwich and chips from a bag. Clearly, he was going to have an interesting lunch.

Yusuke lay sprawled on the school rooftop as he listened to Botan explain his next mission. It was lunchtime, but unfortunately, with nothing better to do, Yusuke had eaten his lunch earlier that morning.
"Yusuke, are you listening to me?" Botan demanded, whacking him on the head. Yusuke hollered in pain and sat up quickly, rubbing his temple.
"Geez, there's no need to get violent." He said angrily. " I heard you."
"Then what did I say?" Botan asked.
" Evil demon escaped captivity, blah, blah, blah. Wants to take over the world, etc, etc. Up to me to save the Earth." Yusuke yawned and stretched back on the ground. " No big deal, I could do it in my sleep."
Botan sighed. " Yusuke, you left out the most important detail."
" Oh, yeah? What's that?"
" This demon, Malyki, is searching for the Gemini crystal. If he can find it, then he can use its powers to destroy the Spirit World, and take over the universe."
" So why can't we just find the crystal and get rid of it?" Yusuke asked dully.
" If it were that simple, you wouldn't be on this mission!" Botan cried. She composed herself, and continued.
" No one knows where the crystal is. It used to be in the possession of the last two descendents of an aristocratic family, but---well---"
" Well what?"
" They sort of disappeared 13 years ago."
" Great. That makes it easy." Yusuke said sarcastically. Botan smiled sympathetically.
" If it helps, we think the crystal is somewhere in the city, so that should make it a little easier."
Yusuke rolled his eyes. " Yeah, a little."
* So what'd ya think? Please R&R so I know if I should continue!*
