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.

Chapter Three: Wondering

* ~ * ~ *

Standing at an empty lot, Nariko was silent just like her surroundings. This was where Yusuke's house was. Or used to be anyway. She was sure of it. "Well, maybe he'll be at the school for once or something," she muttered turning from the vacate area of land as wind from an approaching storm blew and lightly played with her short hair tinting it black with ash.

Trudging toward the school on the sidewalk, Nariko started to count what little money she had left. "This won't be enough to get on a train back home, and buses don't go where I need to go. I guess I'll just have to start walking.

As the young Urameshi passed the gate to the town's junior high, Mr Iwamoto pulled her inside. "What are you doing not showing up for class? What's your home room? Why aren't you wearing your uniform?" he asked Nariko while dragging her into the school office.

"What the hell? I don't know what you're talking about mister. I don't live around here and I don't go to this school either. So can you let me go? Please?"

Mr Iwamoto shook his head and handed a very confused Nariko Urameshi a Sarayashiki Public Junior High uniform. "What is your name? And who is your home room teacher?"

"My name is Urameshi Nar-"

Mr Iwamoto sighed angrily. "Don't tell me, your Urameshi Yusuke's cousin?"

"Yeah, I am."

"That line is getting really old. You kids need to come up with better excuses that don't involve any part of that ignorant fool's asinine family. Here," he said shoving a small piece of paper onto the pile of clothes Nariko was handed, "this is your new schedule. You can go into the nurse's office to change into your uniform and if you would, don't go playing cool like Urameshi and skipping class."

After being pushed into the nurse's office, Nariko stopped to think for a moment. "Wait..I'm part of Yusuke's asinine family. And what does asinine mean anyway!?" Dismissing her thoughts, Nariko began to change into her new school uniform. Maybe she could find out where Yusuke had moved to by asking around.

Kuwabara sank into his chair. Yusuke hadn't been in school for about a week, and no new cases had come up. He had to take Eikichi to the vet after school too. Nothing exciting was happening. Reaching for his pen to engrave K + Y 4 E for the millionth time into his desk, a new girl walked into the classroom. The teacher looked up, clearde his throat and gestured for her to sit down. All the boys in the class watched intently at the sway of the new girl's curvy body as she walked down the rows of desks before sitting in an empty seat next to Keiko.

"Hi, my name's Keiko, what's yours?" Yusuke's girlfriend asked the now slightly blushing Nariko.

"Uh, my name is -"

She was interrupted as the teacher stood up and walked to the front of the classroom and began to talk, "Class, as you can see, we seem to have a new student. Ahem. Boys, may I have your undivided attention?" All males, including Kazuma, ripped their gazes and drooling mouths away from Nariko. "Thank you. Ahem. Will our new student please come up to the front of the classroom and, ahem, introduce herself?"

Nariko stood once again, beginning to see why Yusuke played hooky so much. And again, all male eyes followed her every move. Coming to the front of the room, Nariko simply stated, "My name is Nariko. If you choose to believe it or not is not my problem. And I'm looking for my cousin."

"Thank you Miss Nariko. You may, ahem, sit down now. Today we will be learning the difference between acute and obtuse angles-"

Keiko sat down next to Nariko as the class dismissed for lunch. "So you're looking for your cousin? What does he look like?"

Nariko abandoned her search for Yusuke for the moment. "Oh. It's you. Your name is Keiko?" Being met by a nod, Nariko decided she would start her search beginning with Keiko. "The last time I saw him, he and I were only seven, but he has black hair and brown eyes. And he likes to beat people up," Smiling, Nariko shared one of her few happy memories with her new acquaintance, "I remember, when I stayed with him and my aunt, there was this red headed kid that me and him kept beating up. It was really funny. The kid just kept coming back like yo-yo."

"Hello ladies," Kuwabara said sitting down next to Nariko.

Looking up to meet Kazuma's eyes, Nariko began laughing. "Holy Crap! I don't believe it! You're the kid! You're the one me and my cousin kept beating up!" Keiko's eyes widened in recognition as Kuwabara watched intently on Nariko laugh.

"Your last name wouldn't happen to be Urameshi, would it?" Keiko asked putting two and two together.

Wiping a tear from her eye, Nariko nodded. "Yeah, it is. My name is Urameshi Nariko. This moron teacher wouldn't believe me when I told him that was my name. It was weird."

Keiko smiled. "So your cousin's name is Yusuke Urameshi?"

"Yeah, how did you know his first name?"

"Keiko, what are you talking about?"
