Electrical Shocks

Summery: Nariko Urameshi had always been the black sheep. Well, one of them. Visiting her cousin Yusuke for a week, she may just learn why she never fit in with anyone else.

Nariko looked out the window of her room. Outside, it was dim and cloudy. The rain outside was steady and showed no signs of stopping. Almost all the vegetation in he yard was dead from lack of care. The scene matched how Nariko felt right now. She already knew she didn't have any real parents when the Urameshi's adopted her when she was 4. Having a spoiled brat for a younger sister was bad enough without a mother and father who couldn't care less if you dropped off the face of the earth. It wasn't like she had any friends either. Some kids at school would say hi now and then so as to stay on her good side, but most people like to keep clear of the school terror. So no one would care if she died, right?

"You're wrong Nariko," a voice in her head whispered, "two people of the Urameshi family would miss you." She walked from the window pane over to a small desk cluttered with books and homework. The only thing that was kept neat, was a picture frame sitting on the corner. A small smile crept across her lips as she looked at the picture. A young girl and boy, both no older than seven or eight years old, stood laughing at an unseen joke. The boy was her cousin Yusuke. His brown eyes sparkled and his black hair looked like it hadn't been combed in days. The girl in the photograph was herself, almost eight years ago. Refocusing her eyes, Nariko looked at her reflection in the glass. Two steely blue eyes returned the gaze as short, almost boyish, light brown hair feel from behind her ears. All throughout her iris's, were streaks of yellow like lightning.

Nariko walked back to her window and watched as the sky got darker and the rain fell heavier. "Maybe Yusuke would miss me," she thought releasing the safety latch on the window, "and Auntie Atsuko would miss me too. But, then again, maybe they wouldn't."

Lifting the screen of the window, she placed her hands out into the pounding thundershower. When her fingertips were soaked, she pulled her hands back inside the room. Turning her arms vertically, she let the water drip down her arms. Now was as good of a time as ever. Her mother, father and sister were at some sport event where Sachi was cheering for the high school team. And who knew when they would let her stay home alone again? Nariko knelt down onto her red carpet and reached toward her baseboard. Her hand faltered only inches away from the electrical socket, but only for a moment.

"What more do I have to live for?" Nariko said under her breath while shoving her wet palm into the electrical currents.

Well? What did you think? Not that I care that much anyway, but I would still like to obtain at least one review from a person. Please review.
