The Apparition and the Kitsune (Chapter 2)
Kurama got up from bed and did his usual morning routine. And went to the kitchen to make his breakfast. He found his mother in the kitchen happily making breakfast for him. "I suppose she even plans to make breakfast for Jenn, too."
Kurama looked at where Jenn was sleeping and walked over to her. He kneeled down next to Jenn and pulled up her blanket. I wonder if she's going to come to school with me today? Kurama thought.
"Good morning, Kurama," Jenn said when she woke up. "Nice morning, don't you think," she said looking out the window.
"Yes," Kurama answered her. "I wanted to know if, you were going to come to my school with me, so... are you?"
Jenn stared at Kurama and said, "Well, the school I go to is called Sarayashiki Junior High, sorry I can't go to the Meiou High School with you, I'm only fourteen, you know."
"Oh, well, okay. See you after school then?"
"Yeah. But where should we meet?"
"Let's go to the library so maybe we can help each other in homework. Hm, maybe you'll be helping me."
Kurama smiled. "Okay."
So both of them ate thier breakfast, and went off to their schools. ________________________________________________________________
"Well, today is gonna be another boring day with those three thugs picking on me. Oh, and look here they come."
Three guys began walking toward Jenn the minute they saw her. "You know," one of the thugs said, " I'm broke, wanna ask dat gal for some money?"
"Yeah and we can force her to be my girlfriend, he, he!"
" Aww na, she's mine!"
"HA, HAHAHAHAHA!!!"
"Tch. Come on guys, you really think I would do that?" Jenn smirked.
They continued walking toward her.
"Man, when'll they ever learn?" ________________________________________________________________
"Hey, Kuwabara" A boy in a green jumpsuit said, "looks like those guys are at it again."
"Yeah, Urameshi," Kuwabara, the boy in the blue jumpsuit answered, "you're right, think we should help her?"
"Yeah," Yusuke Urameshi, the boy in the green jumpsuit, answered boredly, "let's go."
So they began walking toward her. ________________________________________________________________
"Hey, cutie, mind if we, uh, bo--"
"I know your questions and my answer to both of them are... no, as usual." Jenn said.
"Aww come on, we wouldn't like ta force it out of ya, ya know! It's not like a little gal like you can even defend ya self!"
The three thugs began laughing and hitting each other hard on the backs.
"Yeah! We wouldn't wanna force it outta ya, but we would if we should!HA
HAHAHA, HAHA!"
"I'd like to see you try," Jenn said with an evil grin on her face.
They stopped laughing.
"What'd ya say little gal?"
"You heard me, I'd-like-to-see-you-try."
"Come on boys, ya heard da girl, GET HER!!"
"Waaaiiittt!!!!!" Yusuke and Kuwabara screamed.
"AAAHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!" the three thugs screamed and fell on the ground around her.
"Well," Jenn said blinking, "that was easy."
"Aw man. Urameshi, did you see that?" Kuwabara asked.
"Yeah, how'd she do that?" Yusuke said.
Electricity began circling her right arm then stopped. And then she walked away as if nothing had happened.
Yusuke and Kuwabara began following Jenn until she stopped. "Yes?" she asked. She turned around smiling at the two boys and wondered what they wanted.
"Oh, um, well, he, he, um," Yusuke began saying.
Kuwabara just blurted out his question, "What was that electricity thingy around your arm?"
"Kuwabara!" Yusuke yelled.
"Um, oops, he, he. Just curious."
Since Kuwabara just blurted out his question Yusuke decided to asked his, besides, she didn't look too surprised when Kuwabara asked his question.
"You're a demon, aren't you?"
"Well, no, I'm actually an apparition, a thunder appparition. My name is Jenn, nice to meet you!"
The two boys introduced themselves to her politely, but they watched her closely in school for the whole day just in case she wasn't who they thought she was. ________________________________________________________________
Finally it was the end of school, and Jenn was going to the library to meet Kurama. "You know, Urameshi, she kind of reminds me of someone, but who?" Kuwabara was saying.
"Yeah, I was thinking the same thing," said Yusuke. "Wonder where she's going?"
"Hey Yusuke!"
The two boys turned around and found Keiko walking up to them. "Where you guys going?"
"Hey Urameshi, looks like your girlfriend's trying to follow you home!" Kuwabara whispered to Yusuke in a laugh.
"Well, at least my girlfriend comes to my house, unlike Yukina..." Yusuke said in a song.
"Don't you ever say anything about me and my Beloved Ice Princess, Yukina, being separated from me, cause we're not." Kuwabara held up his pinky finger and said, "Remember this, Urameshi? He he."
"Oh, yeah, how can I forget that, the Pinky String of Love, you used that thing to find Yukina."
"Are you guys actually going to the library?" It was Keiko. The boys forgot
all about her when teasing each other.
"Well, actually Keiko, we're trying to follow this apparition," Yusuke told
her, "but... Oh, great, we lost her." The boys looked around, but they did lose her.
"Guys, did she have pink hair?" Keiko asked.
"Yeah," Kuwabara said. Yusuke just nodded.
"Well, she just went in the library."
The three went inside and saw her sitting at a table doing nothing. "Looks like she's waiting for someone," said Yusuke.
"You know," Keiko was saying, "she sort of reminds me of Kurama, you know, she just looks calm." ________________________________________________________________
"I'm late," said Kurama running to the library.
"Hey Shuiichi!"
Kurama stopped running and looked for who said his name. He found it was Nurina, his schoolmate. "Hello, Nurina. Is there something you wanted to ask me?"
"Well... I just wanted to know if.. you wanted to the go to movies with me."
She's not going to give up, is she, thought Kurama, This is her second time
this week.
"Sorry, Nurina, but I have to go somewhere today and do it quick. Besides, my mother wouldn't want me to be late."
She just nodded and left.
Kurama was finally at the library. He went inside and found Jenn waiting at a table. He was surprised he found her waiting at the table with three of his other friends, Yusuke, Kuwabara, and Keiko. Yusuke noticed Kurama and motioned for him to sit at the table.
"Sorry I was late," Kurama apologized.
"That's okay," said Jenn, "I had some company to talk to anyway." She smiled.
"Hey, Kurama," Yusuke whispered, "I just wanted to ask you if she should join the team, she's an apparition, but is she good enough?"
"Believe me, she's good enough," Kurama said with a smile. ________________________________________________________________
There was a knock on Yusuke's window. Must be Botan, Yusuke thought, she's the only one who uses the window other than Hiei, but why would he want to come here anyway. So Yusuke opened the window and was not surprised of the blue-haired girl sitting on a hovering oar looking angry outside his window.
"Now Yusuke, do you really think Koenma would just let that apparition be part of the team just like that? She could be evil, the way she used her powers on those boys in your school!"
"Oh don't get mad at her, Botan, she was just trying to protect herself. And besides, they're not dead, their just unconcious. She told us in the library that she doesn't kill."
"Maybe we should take her to Koenma."
"Why?"
"She's a thunder apparition,Yusuke! Remember the first time you met Hiei, the fire apparition? Remember what he tried to do to you?"
"Okay! Let's take her to Koenma! Just let me get some sleep!" Yusuke whined.
"Tomorrow, noon, don't forget to inform her...." Botan flew into the night sky and disappeared. ________________________________________________________________
"Oh hello, Yusuke." It was Shiori. Yusuke was standing in Kurama's doorway to tell Jenn and Kurama about last night. "What makes you come here?"
"Hello, Mrs. Minamino, I need to tell Shuiichi and Jenn something."
"Shuiichi's in his room doing some homework and Jenn... I don't know where she is. But ask Shuiichi, I think he would know."
"Thank you."
Yusuke went inside the house and went in Kurama's room to find him there doing homework. "Hey, Kurama."
"Hello, Yusuke" Kurama said writing. "Is there anything you need?"
"Jenn needs to see Koenma."
Kurama stopped writing and looked at Yusuke. "Why?" He asked.
"Botan came to my house last night and told me thet Jenn might not be who we think she is." Yusuke said sadly.
Kurama stared out the window and told Yusuke "She's on the roof, but don't tell my mother."
Both boys went on the roof to tell Jenn the sad news. They found Jenn and told her what Botan said. "Why?" she asked.
"You don't want to know," Yusuke told her. She nodded sadly and followed them to Reikai.
When they got there, the two boys looked back at Jenn. She wasn't surpised or excited like the boys when they came here for the first time, but was scared of what might happen to her. Kurama went up to her and said, "It's going to be all right." Jenn just looked at him and smiled and they continued walking to Koenma's office.
They found Koenma in his teenage form and Botan by his side, and a couple ogres and demons around his desk.
If he has this much security around him, Jenn thought, they must really think I am evil. And she had a sad look on her face.
Jenn just stood there and blurted out, "Do you really think I'm that evil?"
"Yes," Koenma said. "Why else would I have all these guards around me? The last time I had an apparition in here, he stole something very valuable." Yusuke was suddenly reminded of Hiei, the fire apparition, who stloe the Shadow Sword from the King's Vault along with two other artifacts that Kurama and Gouki stole, too.
"But what about Yukina, the ice apparition?" Jenn asked.
"How do you know about her?" Koenma said.
"Don't all apparitions know about her?" said Jenn with a confused look on her face.
"Yes, but, um.." Koenma didn't know what to say about that. He forgot all about the ice apparition.
Jenn knew what to say to all of Koenma's questions. Kurama, Yusuke, and Botan were amazed. They didn't know anyone who can answer all those questions, except Kurama maybe.
"All right! All right! You're on the team! You can be a Spirit Detective, too!" Koenma said. Yusuke and Kurama cheered, especially Botan.
But then Jenn reminded Kurama about Shiori. "Oh no!" Kurama gasped. "I didn't even tell her we left!"
"Leave it all to me," Botan said. And suddenly, they were gone. Koenma smiled when they left. He was actually happy that Jenn was on the team. That Jenn was a Spirit Detective.
Kurama got up from bed and did his usual morning routine. And went to the kitchen to make his breakfast. He found his mother in the kitchen happily making breakfast for him. "I suppose she even plans to make breakfast for Jenn, too."
Kurama looked at where Jenn was sleeping and walked over to her. He kneeled down next to Jenn and pulled up her blanket. I wonder if she's going to come to school with me today? Kurama thought.
