Chapter One: Sayonara, Boku no Aibou (Goodbye, My Friend)
Disclaimer: I don't own YYH. Please don't sue me.
This is my first fanfic revolving around Yusuke. Please be nice.
Warning: This is a yaoi fanfic. A minor pairing is Hiei & Kurama. Saying the dominant one would be a spoiler, but it will be well-known soon. Not only that, it is one of the most uncommon pairings ever to grace the realm of Yu*Yu*Hakusho, & my first try at this pairing to boot! If you readers dislike Yaoi, but read it anyway, please don't flame. If you don't like reading this, just leave & find something better, okay? Arigato!
Also, I will sprinkle Japanese words & phrases into this fic, but I'll include my current best translations just for those people who do not know.
-----------------------------
Hi there! My name is Yusuke Urameshi, the toughest fighter in Sarayashiki Junior High! My name is pronounced, "Yoo-skeh Yoo-rlah-meh-shee". My hair is jet black, swept back by hair gel, and I have large brown eyes. One day, on my way home from the school I decided to leave for a week or two during the middle of the day, I met some kid playing ball in the street. I recall telling him how dangerous it was, but he kicked his ball into the street somehow, and a car came after him! I shoved him out of the way and I died instantly. From there on, I met Botan, the Ferry Woman of the River Styx. She then told me that my sacrifice had been completely useless; that the kid I saved would have been perfectly fine if not for my interference! So, in order to regain my life, I did many things, and one of the best things I did for getting my ass out of Reikai, - or Spirit World - was to do a "noble deed" and saved Keiko Yukimura in place of my own resurrection. Keiko is my best friend since from as far as I can remember; her name is pronounced, "Kay-koh Yoo-kee-moo-rlah". From then on, I was able to live again by one of Keiko's kisses. The transaction through the kiss was of Reiki - or Spirit Energy - from her to myself.
That's just the beginning on how my life turned upside-down. I was then granted the title: "Reikai Tantei" - or "Spirit Detective".
In my work, I later met Shuuichi Minamino, the reincarnation of the legendary Youko Kurama. Everyone except for ningen - humans - call him Kurama. The only exception is my rival and friend, Kuwabara. Kurama's name is pronounced, "Koo-rlah-mah", and his human name is pronounced, "Shoo-ee- chee Mee-nah-mee-noh". Kurama has blood-red hair and pretty green eyes. They, with his pink Meiou High School uniform, make him look almost like a girl. I have heard him mistaken as one, and he's just as popular as I am notorious. I've seen the horrible sight - girls flock at his feet, showering him with gifts and pleads to be his girlfriend. Anyway, I met him while on one of my earliest - and toughest - missions. He was in partnership with Gouki, a soul-eating oni - ogre-demon type of monster - and a fire and ice demon named Hiei. His name is pronounced, "Hee-ay". I'll get to a bit more in-depth about the two humanoid demons in a minute.
At the present time, one year since I began my job as Reikai Tantei, I managed some off-time and went to school for once.
I was going to be late for the umpteenth time in my life, no matter how fast I ran. At this time, I was almost as fast as Hiei, too. Again, I'll tell you about him in a minute, so shaddap!
I heard heavy footsteps behind me. I knew who was there. "Up for a round, Kuwabara?"
"Nah. Hiei and Kurama just told me that you were goin' to school today, so I decided to take your route," he replied, dashing up next to me. He wears the proper blue uniform, while I wear my beloved green jumper. Hell, I don't care what I wear, just as long as it pisses off the teachers.. to an extent. It's not like I'm going to run around naked or something. That'd be stupid and leave me wide open to attack. Not only that, it'd ruin my Perfect Bully image.
Anyway, I wear what I want, just like in those American public schools.
"Oh, whatever," I reply. How odd. Kuwabara ALWAYS wants to try and kick my ass... "What's up, Kuwabara?"
He frowns and looks me dead in the eye. "I.. I got the tickle feeling a moment ago."
That made me stop in my tracks. Were we being followed and I never realized it? Was there a new assignment my friends and I had to take care of? "There's a demon nearby?"
Over the year, I have learned to NEVER EVER doubt Kuwabara's sixth sense. It's at least ninety-nine percent correct. There are many times where he was a better choice at fighting than I was, like, say, one time during the Dark Tournament, we fought against Dr. Ichigaki's team of controlled humans. Actually, their bodies were the only thing controlled. Kuwabara noticed this and convinced me NOT to kill them, as they were innocent.
Well, he was right. Dr. Ichigaki was a jackass. And when I say "was" I mean "WAS"!
Yup. I kicked his bucket, and he keeled over, falling into the crowds in a heap. Boy, did that feel good!
"Not a demon... I think it's a fluke. I can't sense anything at all... whether it be Reiki or Youki, I sense nothin'."
Kuwabara is also my friend and rival. He is my friend because we are on the same side, and are rivals because of our similar attack strength. I am always one step ahead of him, which constantly pisses him off, and I always beat the shit out of him. He has orange-red hair and very dark brown, horizontal diamond-shaped eyes. Those eyes are nearly black.
Hmmm...
Anyway, Hiei is a fire youkai and Koorime all in one mixture - which is really weird, considering that Koorime are an all-female race - with ruby- red eyes and black hair spiked up into a flame. His hair is also adorned with white streaks into - what it looks like to me - a symbol of his own, dominant element: fire. I seriously couldn't help you about his past, since he never wants to tell me. I wouldn't know about Kurama, though. Ask *him* sometime. Hiei's about five feet tall, and seriously fast, but that - alone - is an understatement. You could be riding in a car going eighty miles an hour and all you'd see is a black blur... Let alone if you were standing still. You can barely see him then. *I* can barely see him! I should know. I fought him twice, once out of duty, and another time when I got so pissed off, he told me to take out some stress by fighting him. Also, I've seen him fight. He tries to end his fights as quickly as possible. He's really ruthless and it's funny when he picks on Kuwabara.
Kurama, on the other hand, likes to drag out his fights and make his opponent think he's winning. I've looked at Hiei, and he seems to become extremely irritated at what the kitsune does. He has some pretty nasty - but also beautiful - attacks. They mostly center around plants and his roses. He has a defensive move where petals come around him, and they cut anything in their way, no matter WHAT the material. His Rose Whip is his trademark weapon, most likely even from his days as a fox. He can even transform weeds growing from the cracks of cement into razor-sharp knives that are sharper than any steel any ningen could come up with. At will, he can also become his original form - a silver fox. However, his most grotesque - but also cool - attacks are from the Makai - or Demon World. One of which where he can have a man-eating tree come up from any ground and devour his enemies alive (he can control this in his youko form, by the way).
Nasty, huh?
The bells rang in their chime similar to a grandfather clock, - but higher - and I knew we were going to be very late.
What did I care? I showed up when I damn well felt like it! If I felt like leaving in the middle of the day, I would! Simple as that!
***
The final bell rang.
Standing up from my perch on the rooftop's cement ground, I descended the steps into the fringed school. I SWEAR, they keep those air conditioners on all fuckin' day long! EVEN in the winter! There should be a LAW against that, god dammit!
Tromping through the halls, I exited the front gates.
I began my daily route back home to my drunken mother. As I rounded the corner, I heard the screech of tires and the sound of a body being hit. I knew that sound anywhere, after all, I HAD been killed by a car before.
I turned my head toward the sight. The first thing I saw was the brown car.
[It must have been speeding. Those lazy bums who don't learn after the mistake of hitting ME! I wonder who got hit?] I was curious as to who got hit. My stomach felt funny this time.
The next thing I saw, was the deep red blood on the long-since-dried tar of the road. I had long since been used to the sight of blood. After all, I'M the one who ends up bleeding for a while in any of my missions as Spirit World Detective... then, the enemy's blood spills when I defeat them.
I approached slowly, watching for the cause of such blood to spill.
I saw a shoe, then a blue skirt...
[She's from my school...!]
I saw her nicely developed chest, but I quickly moved my gaze to the girl's face.
My blood ran cold; my heart stopped in my chest, and I felt like I'd faint for the first time in my life. This couldn't be real! This couldn't be!!!
I heard Botan talking to the spirit in the distance above me. The spirit's voice was unbelievably familiar. I could NEVER forget the voice of my best friend!
"No... K-Keiko..."
I knelt near her dead form. I couldn't hear anything from her - not a heartbeat or anything! She was... dead...
I felt my Reiki rising dramatically, but I didn't care about that. My eyes burned, my body trembled all over.
...I remember losing control --
"Ke... KEIKOOOOOOO!!!"
-- and, vaguely, I remember my energy tearing up the scenery...
-----------------------------
Can anyone help me with a name? Please review this! Anyone?
I actually dreamt this, but Keiko didn't die instantly in it. She died in the hospital while Yusuke looked on, helpless to save her. Not only that, he didn't blow up at the city.
More to come - this isn't done yet.
