Well, hello there. It is I, Michelle, bringing you the next chapter of this story. Sorry, I'm really hyper tonight. Lol. Shall I begin?

Britsu: bad, Michelle, it was you who forgot!

Snki: if you forget, who will remind me?!

M: oops…heh heh.

B: * holds up sign that says: we do not own yu yu hakusho, or anything related to it. *

M: ah, our old standby. ^_^ Enjoy!

"Karasu," Kuronue hissed. (Yay to all of you who got it right!)

"I thought he was gone…" Yukina said quietly.

Youko shook his head. "He was."

"Why'd he come back?" Michelle muttered.

Karasu glanced over at the group. Kurama shivered and turned around. Youko and Kuronue turned quickly, too. Yukina and most of the others looked away also. Michelle, however, defiantly watched Karasu, along with Britsu and Snki. Karasu sneered a little at the three girls. Michelle frowned and turned to her friends. Kurama and Youko both looked a little pale. Kuronue was nervous. (Yeah, I know Kuronue and Karasu never met, but just play along, okay?)  Michelle frowned. Who could possibly make Youko and Kuronue, two of the strongest guys in school, that worried? What was so different about this Karasu? How was he worse than the other bullies of the school?

Gradually, the group started to chatter again. Youko, Kurama, Kuronue, and Michelle stayed silent, each lost in their own thoughts.

Karasu stood there in the doorway, looking for a place to sit down. He spotted the girls' table, and an empty seat by Snki. He walked over and sat down by her. Snki welcomed him warmly, as she would do with anyone.

"Hi! My name's Snki! How ya doin'?"

"I'm fine, thanks… and please call me Karasu." he gave a faint smile, but it could not be seen because his mask was covering his face. Snki could tell he was smiling by the look in his eyes.

"Hey, ya know," she said. "I bet you're really cute under that mask, why don't you take it off?"

Karasu slowly slipped the mask from his face, then turned with a smile to meet Snki's eyes sparkling with interest.

"See, I told you," Snki grinned.

One of the preps walked by and smiled at Karasu. "I told you'd be really cute without that mask," Snki grinned again. "You've got the preps drooling over you."

"You think so?" (Wow, this is an odd conversation…)

"Yeah, definitely!" They both smiled. Snki was pulled away by Britsu at the end of lunch.

"What are you thinking, talking to him?"

"I was just being good person, can't I welcome a new student??"

"Well, yeah, but now he's gonna wanna sit with us all the time…!" Britsu said.

"No, he won't…"

"Alright…alright"

"Hey," Snki cried. "What's tomorrow's spirit thingy?" (In our school, the week before Homecoming is Spirit week where all the student's can dress up. The events were: um…well, all I can remember were dress up day/ghetto day (they changed it to dress up day because of complaints) mismatch day, and spirit day…. oh well.)

I guess that's all for now. I hope you like it. In the next few chapters, there will be fun with spirit days… (Muahaha!) And some very interesting Homecoming couples… I will say no more. Please review!
