Author's Note: This story is so much fun to work on!
Botan flew over the city looking for her partner. He was nowhere to be found, Koenma promised that he would try to track him down in his own way. But there was still no luck. She asked Kuwabara why Yusuke just ran off but he didn't answer her. Instead he remained silent.
"Yusuke? What happened to you?" She whispered softly her voice carried off into the wind.
******
Yusuke felt himself coming to reality he opened his eyes slightly. "You should keep you're eyes closed." Came the same female voice from before. He quietly obeyed and shut his eyes. "You have a lot of injuries, we're going to have to go the local hospital in town."
"Not good," Yusuke grunted as he tried to get up. He felt too hands press against his chest lately indicating him not to move.
"You have several ribs broken you shouldn't move until tomorrow. We'll take the train back into the city, and then the bus to the hospital. We'll figure something out after we get you out of the hospital." She said calmly. He felt her unbutton his shirt.
"What are you doing?" he grunted.
He heard a 'humph' and then, "I have to take off you shirt so I can tend to your wounds on your chest!" He remained quiet, until something started to bother him.
"Who are you?" He felt the hands tending to his wounds stop moving.
"My name is Shizu." Shizu went back to tending his wounds.
"Why did you help me? I was going to die…I wanted to die," Yusuke said gruffly.
"YOU SHOULDN'T SAY THAT!!!" He heard her shout, "Doesn't matter what happened!! There's always the importance in life!! You're friends and family would be sad if you died!!!"
"I left all that behind," Yusuke said quietly. He heard a small gasp from Shizu.
"Why?"
"The one person I loved betrayed me, that's all I want to say." Yusuke quietly finished off the last part. He felt someone caress his cheek.
"I'm sorry, if there's anything I can do…just ask." She let go of his cheek. "I need you to sit up for a bit. So I can but a bandage on your eyes." She helped him sit up, and she quickly wrapped a bandage around his eyes and helped him back down. "What's your name?"
"Yusuke Urameshi." He replied dully.
"Yusuke Urameshi," Shizu repeated, "Can I call you by your first name?"
"Sure, I don't care."
Shizu waited a few moments before continuing with the conversation, "Yusuke? You could come with me if you don't want to go back home. Don't worry I'll take care of you."
"A girl? Taking care of me! Humph I'm fine on my own," Yusuke's pride spoke for him this time.
He heard a growl, "Well you certainly proved that tonight!! And I happen to be half demon!!! So I'm stronger than I look!!" Yusuke was bit shocked that there was even something called a half demon. He usually ran into a full blood demon, never in his life as a spirit detective has he met a HALF-demon.
"Half demon?" Yusuke pondered out loud. "Didn't know such a thing existed."
Shizu giggled nervously, "Well, there aren't that many out there. Because we have human blood in us we are shunned by the demon world. They usually kill us, which is why we take refuge in the mortal world. Koenma allows it for us to be here as long as we don't reveal our demon powers and looks."
Yusuke raised his hand reaching for Shizu's face. He finally came in contact with it, and tried to visualize it with touch. "What's so different about you?" He felt her face shift underneath his touch. He now was touching the side of her face, he felt near her ear and found it was long and pointed. Not small and round like human's are.
"My ear's give away my identity, but thankfully that's all I have to hide. With simple magic I can hide it making it look like regular ears." She explained.
"Amazing," Yusuke muttered. Shizu took hold of his hand.
"Yusuke you need to get some rest now. And don't worry I will take care of you," she said softly. He felt a blanket being spread over him, and Shizu's warmth from her body disappeared. He felt alone, but the last words Shizu said to him really meant something to him.
'I will take care of you.'

…Next day…
Kuwabara walked through the streets of the busy town. Hoping to spot his best bud, it has been five hours since he started his search today. But he would never give up. He observed the crowd and then something got his attention. There was this girl; she had pointed ears. He looked around to see if anyone noticed this strange appearance. Then suddenly remembered that he had inhuman powers. (COP: *giggles* silly Kuwabara)
She was getting off the bus, but she turned around and helped someone else get off the bus. Kuwabara's heart just skipped a pace when he recognized who it was…it was Yusuke!!! He quickly noted that he had been injured and by the looks of it badly.
He then studied the girl that was helping him. She had long blue hair, most of it was pulled away from her face with a red ribbon that was tied on the side of her head, the lose ends of the ribbon was about a foot long. Her outfit was just a sleeveless green shirt, and some jean kapris and just some old sneakers. But the thing he noticed better than everything else was her unusually bright green eyes. (COP: There's your description of Shizu! ^-^)
Kuwabara followed them for a while, and then he noticed the pair going into the hospital. "I should go get Kurama and Hiei before heading in there." (COP: for the first he didn't run in blind…amazing ^-^)
******
Later that day Kuwabara finally got both Kurama and Hiei. They walked up to the nurse. "There was this girl with pointy ears that came in here with an injured guy, where are they now?" Kuwabara asked. The nurse looked at him like he was crazy or something. Kurama calmly stepped forward.
"There was a young man that came here earlier today, I believe he had a lot of injuries. And there was something wrong with his eyes, he had bandages over them." The nurse looked more relived. She began going through some files.
"Yes I believe that the young man's name was Yusuke Urameshi," she paused as she noticed all three young men tense up. "He is temporarily blind, a few broken ribs, and other small injuries. We fixed his wounds and they went on their way. The young lady with him promised to make sure he's alright."
"May we see the room they stayed at?" Kurama asked politely. The nurse looked doubtful but then agreed and led them to the room Yusuke stayed at not too long ago. The nurse left the room while Kurama, Hiei, and Kuwabara looked around the room. "Yusuke was defiantly here. I can smell his scent."
"What about the female that was supposed to be with him?" Hiei asked as he scanned the room with his eyes. Since Kurama didn't answer his question Hiei looked at him.
"She was here too, there's something different from her scent. I don't think it's possible but…" Kurama let that sentence hang.
"But what?" Hiei urged on.
"There's a possibility that's she a half-demon."
Hiei eyes widened and then he started chuckling, "There's no way that he could stumble upon a half-demon."
Kurama didn't seem to take the matter funny, "He's been gone for days now, and there's a possibility that he could. By the way the he looked that he looked he must've run into some demons as well."
"We have to find him!! Now I'm sure most of the demons know by now that the Spirit Detective is weak and wandering around by himself…this isn't good." Kuwabara said as he nearly ran out of the hospital room. Followed by Kurama and Hiei.
