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.

This chapter will be dedicated to my best friend, who is one of the only people I can relate to.

Chapter Five: Enter

* ~ * ~ *

As Nariko walked through the front gate, she shook her head slowly. "Everyone is so stupid. Don't they understand why I'm here? Do they understand why they are here? I know I don't. Why can't I understand my purpose in life? Am I even ment to be here? Or am I just taking up space?" The teen didn't bother to wipe away the tear as it fell from her cheek. Looking down at her shoes, she began to walk back towards a bus sign she had seen a few blocks away. Inside, she hurt so much. That was why she had tried to kill herself in the first place. Unfortunately, the results didn't work out as planned.

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

What Nariko felt at first was a strange tingling sensation in her palm that slowly crawled up her arm. Wincing, she tried to pull her hand from the baseboard, only to find that her flesh was somehow glued to the plastic cover, and the electricity merely entered her blood. Grunting in pain, Nariko began to pull on her wrist with her left hand attempting to break free of the sting.

"What-the-hell-is-happening?!?" Nariko gave up tugging her wrist and instead pushed even harder on the socket. There was a flash of a yellowish light, and the Urameshi passed out cold on the floor. As she collapsed on to the floor, a pair of golden-crimson eyes slinked away from the window.

Nariko fingered the burns on her right palm. Another tear fell. This time she lifted her hand up and wiped her palm on her cheek. Stupid, stupid, stupid. Why didn't it work? Electricity and water didn't mix, and she should've died. Why didn't she? What did she do wrong? Was there a reason why it didn't work? Her thoughts about her purpose in life were put on hold as a person slammed into her shoulder. Lifting her head and turning around, intending to beat the crap out of the person, she paused. Was that-? Was it- ? Trying her luck, she called a name out into the stirring stormy air.

"Yusuke?"

The boy turned around and looked at her. "Are you-"

Yeah. I'm evil. A cliff hanger. Sucks for you. And I'd like to apologize for not updating in about month. I was dealing with some emotional stress and I didn't get a chance to write anything. Looking back on my chapters, I'm realizing something. My chapters are so short! I'll try to make them longer. no promises. *grin* But anyway, I'll reply to everyone's review's here.

Silverchild of the winds: What do you mean the story line is old? I'll have you know that I came up with this story all by myself thank-you-very-much.

Houndingwolf: Me dedicating a story to you is nothing. You gave me a review! And you're actually reading my story! That is enough for me.

Melissa: Um. what joke? And just so you know, the only kinship she has to yusuke is by blood, and added to that she's adopted. But anyway, keep reading my stories.

Lady Kitsuna the Fox: Thank you. Personally, I'm not quite sure how I'm going to end the story, but I have a general idea. And I am also a victim of the Writers Block from Hell as well. Take a nap. It helps.

crazy-lil-nea-nea: What's-her-name's name is Nariko thank you, and I have a slight description of her in chapter one. Didn't you read that? Or did you just skim? I mean, hello! The second paragraph? Double check. I'm sure you find out how she looks.

If I didn't mention your review, then send me another. And I'm surprised that no one has asked me any questions about myself. (check my bio) Heck, none of you even know if I'm a guy or a chick! Does having "little" and "pure" in my name make me sound so much like a girl? I'll have you know that my name translates to mean "dark, pure, son of little raven," but that sounded to long. And please review. I need inspiration.
