Different but the Same 2

Kayla, Terry, and Rosa sat down in the living room of the apartment. "Let me get this strait," said Rosa, "Kayla, your parents died in a car crash, you're fifteen, and you've been working at a Japanese restaurant for the past five years." "Yeah," said Kayla, "And Terry, you lived with your dad, you had what you needed, and your mom died in a plane wreck." "That's about right," said Terry, "And Rosa, you had everything you could ever want, everyone wanted to be your friend, you lived with both your parents, and you still weren't happy." "Yeah," Rosa said, "But money isn't everything." "You know," said Kayla, "We have a lot in common." "How?" asked Terry. "We were all unhappy," said Rosa, "We were all the smartest at our respective schools, and we're all girls." "I'm gonna go put my stuff away," Kayla said as she took her bags upstairs. "That sounds like a good idea," said Terry as she followed. "Wait for me!" called Rosa as she ran upstairs after her friends.

The next day at school, everyone was staring at the three girls. Kayla was wearing a white tank top that said 'California girl' in red and blue letters, a red short-sleeved jacket, a pair of blue denim capris, and white sneakers. Her long red hair fell to the small of her back. Terry was wearing a white button up long-sleeved shirt, a blue denim skirt that went just above her knees, a light blue vest, a small red girls tie, and white tennis shoes. Her long brown hair was tied back in a ponytail. Rosa was wearing a red Chinese-style shirt, matching pants with Chinese designs, a yinyang necklace, and red tennis shoes. Her blonde hair was up in a bun and two red chopsticks were sticking out of it. The girls sat down together. A guy with red hair and hazel eyes was staring at Kayla. He was wearing the same blue uniform as all the other guys. Kayla kept glancing over at the guy. Kurama was watching Terry. She didn't know who he was at the time. Terry felt a little uncomfortable. She had never had a guy staring at her before. She looked at Rosa. Rosa kept glancing at the window. "What's wrong?" asked Terry. "I feel like someone is watching me from the window," said Rosa, "But when I look, no one's there. It's like it's a ghost or something," "It's no ghost," said Kayla. The redhead was with her. "This is Kuwabara," Kayla said, "he knows a lot about ghosts," "Hey girls," said Kuwabara, "The thing at the window isn't a ghost, he's just really fast," "He?" inquired Rosa. Kuwabara nodded. "His name is Hiei," he said. "Why isn't he in class?" asked Terry, who kept glancing at the other redhead. "Hiei wouldn't be caught dead with this many humans," Kuwabara informed them, "He's kind of a loner. He hangs out with only a very small group of people," "And you're one of them," said Rosa. Kuwabara nodded. Then he noticed Terry looking at the redhead again. "That's Kurama," Terry turned to face Kuwabara. "He's part of the gang too," Kuwabara said. Then Rosa and Kayla noticed that Terry and Kurama would occasionally glace at each other. Rosa got up. "Come on Terry," she said. "Where are we going," Terry asked. "To talk to your new boyfriend," Rosa said. Terry followed her over to Kurama. "He's not my boyfriend," she said. Kayla beat them there. "Hey Suichi," Kayla made the name drag out. "Hello again Kayla," said Kurama. "Hey Kayla," said Rosa, "Why did you call him Suichi," "That's his name," Kayla said in an angry tone, "Explain yourself now," The bell rang. "I'll explain it at lunch," Kurama said as he left.

It was lunch. Rosa was sitting on a low tree branch. Kayla was leaning against the trunk of the tree. Terry was sitting in the shade, reading a book. Then Rosa screamed and fell out of the tree. "Are you okay?" asked Kayla. "What happened?" asked Terry. "I opened my eyes and saw a guy with black hair sitting on the branch staring at me," Rosa said, "His eyes were red and he had a katana!" "That's Hiei," came a voice from behind. The girls turned to face a guy with slick black hair and brown eyes. "Who are you?" asked Terry. "I'm Yusuke," said the guy. Just then, Kayko ran up to the group. "Hey Yusuke," she said, "Hey Terry," "Hey Kayko," said Terry. Then Kurama, Kuwabara, and Botan walked up. "Hey Botan," said Rosa. "Nice to see you again," said Botan. Hiei jumped down from the tree with a smirk on his face. "I scared another ningen girl," he said. "And she's right here," Kurama gestured to Rosa. She glared at them. "What the hack is a ningen?" asked Terry. "The demon name for human," said Kayla with a guilty look on her face. Everyone was staring at her. "How do you know about demons?" asked Botan. "I just happen to be one," Kayla said quietly. Rosa suddenly became very interested in her feet. "What are you hiding?" asked Terry. "I'm half demon," said Rosa. "I'm a demon as well," said Kurama, "Suichi is my human name," "That explains it," said Kayla. "Are all of you demons?" asked Terry. "I'm human," said Kayko. "Same here," said Yusuke. "Ditto," said Kuwabara. "I'm neither," said Botan, "I'm the Grim Reaper, so to speak," Terry laughed. "I thought the Grim Reaper was an ugly guy in black robes," she said, "Not a normal looking girl in a pink Kimono," "Why don't we all go to the movies tonight?" said Kayko. "I'll see if Koenma will come with us," said Botan. A look of fear crossed Kayla's face. "What's wrong?" asked Rosa. "If Koenma sees me," said Kayla, "He's gonna kill me," "Why?" asked Yusuke. An evil smile crossed Kayla's face. "Because of what I did," she said. She put her hand in her pocket. "What did you do?" asked Kayko. "I stole something important," Kayla answered with a smile. "You have a lot in common with Hiei and Kurama," said Yusuke. A look of fear crossed Botan's face. "You mean," she said, "You are the Red Flame?" Kayla nodded. "I've heard of you," said Hiei, "But you were forgotten when Kurama, Gouki and I stole the other items," "Do you still have the other items?" asked Kayla. Yusuke grinned. "I got the items back," he said proudly. "You're a baka," Kayla told him. "Hey!" "What did you take anyway?" asked Rosa. Kayla pulled a small necklace out of her pocket. "I took the Amulet of Desire," she said, "It gives the wearer whatever they want. What did Gouki steal?" "The Orb of Baast," said Kurama, "And I took the Forlorn Hope," "And Hiei stole that sword thing," said Yusuke. "And nearly turned Kayko into a demon," Botan added. The bell rang and they all went back to class.

A/N: I hope you guys liked that chapter. It was fun to write. Gomen. I forgot what the sword is called.
