Disclaimer: Yu Yu Hakusho does not belong to me. I only claim Minako, Zhang-Yi, and Musuko.

"Youko," Zhang-Yi placed her hand on the side of Youko's face, "I must be going now... Minako's will is telling me to let her have control over the body again... I advise you take your human form before anyone notices us."

"But... you haven't been in your form long..." Youko said.

"I know. I'll see you soon, Youko." Zhang-Yi smiled before she became Minako. The potion worn out on Youko and red streaked through his hair as he became Kurama again. Minako turned to Musuko and blinked. "Who're you? A friend of Zhang-Yi's?" She paused for a moment as her eyes narrow and the voice of Zhang-Yi was heard coming from her lips instead of the voice of Minako's. "Musuko... I'd like to meet you later. There are many things I wish to discuss with you..." Pausing again, Minako realized that Zhang-Yi's voice was coming out of her and clamped her hand over her mouth.

Kurama gazed at her before speaking. "Minako..." He straightened himself up before walking over to her side. "We better get to class, unless you'd like to get late."

"Zhang-Yi..." Musuko muttered.

"Please... Don't call me that." Minako smiled at Musuko softly. "My name is Minako. Minako Fuyuno." She walked off together with Kurama, hand-and-hand. Musuko stared at the two for a while before they were out of sight. A blush glazed over his nose.

"Minako..."

Minako placed her head on Kurama's shoulder as they walked. Whoever thought... She looked up at Kurama and smiled. ...I'd be the reincarnation of Kurama's lover a long time ago... It's all too much... I can't believe it. Yet, I'm somewhat relieved to know about all this. I've always had an interest in reincarnation, but I never knew that I'd be the reincarnation of someone really important... someone out of this world, in fact. I wonder what the Makai is like... But if Zhang-Yi were a demon, why would she be reborn as a HUMAN? To get closer to Kurama...? She remained in thought silently and Kurama looked down at her with a sly smile on his face.

"You know, Minako..." he said, "We really ARE going to be late for class."

"I TOTALLY FORGOT!!!" She grabbed onto his hand tighter and ran. "LET'S GO!"

"Wait!" They ran together and he eventually submitted to her sudden burst of energy. He grinned again. She's so much not like Zhang-Yi... It's almost relieving...

-At school-

"Fuyuno? You're LATE." Mr. Takanaka snorted as Minako walked into the door.

"Sorry..." There was kind of a delay, too... to consider Kurama and me don't even go to the same school. It's too bad. I wish we could. She slowly motioned to her seat, placing her bags down. Then, it'd be like we really were boyfriend and girlfriend...

"So..." Yusuke whispered, "Even YOU was later than ME? What were ya doin'? Wanting to skip class, but decided to come anyway? You'd never be able to be a delinquent..."

"It's not like I was TRYING to be late, like SOME people. Speaking of delinquents, why're YOU here ANYWAY?!" Minako muttered back.

"I felt like coming, that's all. I wasn't here yesterday, so I decided to be nicer and come today." He propped his feet up on the desk and leaned back.

"It was awful quiet yesterday, too. I was actually able to pay attention." Minako replied, smirking.

"Who're you now, Keiko? Trying to rag me for everything I do?" Yusuke raised a brow.

"No... I don't understand what that girl sees in you in the first place. Some taste."

"SHUT UP!"

"Be quiet, Urameshi! Fuyuno!" Mr. Takanaka yelled.

"Yes sir." Minako muttered crouching down in her desk blushing.

-After school-

"Well, Zhang-Yi? What is it?" Musuko said, leaning up against a building in the back alleys.

"That's what I should be asking you. What is it that made you want to come here to the human world? Besides, you're lucky I can change into this form by WILL."

"I haven't seen you for so long, jeesh. Plus, after you died, Youko kept that sword by him and protected it with his life to remember you by. Of course, he left the Chimamire Tsurugi behind after he was so-called reincarnated and the sword was placed back into the shrine you originally stole it from. Eventually, my friends got a hold of it, so I decided to use it and come to this world because I knew you wanted it back." Musuko sighed as he pulled his fingers through his hair.

"Youko... kept that sword to remember me by?" Zhang-Yi asked, seemingly surprised.

"Yeah... why do you seem so amazed? He loved you a lot, you know. And so does someone else... and that someone else still does..." Musuko said blushing.

She raised a brow. "And who might that 'someone else', be, Musuko?"

"Hmph. Like you'd care. You're still too infatuated with YOUKO to think anything about how anyone else feels about you." He grunts.

"What makes you say that?!" she yelled.

"The way you LOOK at him, Zhang-Yi... Besides, he's all you ever talk about, so he's probably all you ever THINK about, at that. I know you're in denial over it because he was the one who killed you, but you have to let bygones be bygones. Now that you have the ability to shape shift from the form of Minako, you should use that to your advantage and work on your relationship with him."

"Hm... You know what, Musuko? I think YOU'RE that 'someone else'... yet I do not understand why you're standing here and giving me all this advice like you know what you're talking about." Zhang-Yi smirked.

"And you know what, Zhang-Yi? I waited all this time to see you again, and for WHAT? To see YOU, of course! I always knew you as that girl in my childhood I always looked up to. My first true friend. And... over the time... I... I think... I fell in LOVE with that friend..." He blushed lightly and took a few steps toward to her. "Zhang-Yi..." She backed away and leaned up against a wall. "Do you think... friends can be more than just friends...?"

"WHAT the bloody hell are you rambling about NOW, Musuko!? 'Love', HELL! People always say that... they say they're in love with someone, yet they END UP KILLING that person in the end! It's all LIES! I WON'T BELIEVE IT! GET AWAY FROM ME!"

"Zhang-Yi... You just don't know..."

"I should know more than ANYONE!" she shouts.

"Look, JUST BECAUSE HE KILLED YOU DOESN'T MEAN HE MEANT TO DO IT ON PURPOSE! ...Believe me, he talked about you a lot after your death... You have to find room in your heart to believe me... and forgive him..."

"GET AWAY FROM ME ALREADY!" Zhang-Yi attempted to knock him away, but he only got closer to her. He pinned her up by the building by her wrists and suddenly deeply kissed her, but she jerked away. "LOOK, YOU—"He interrupted her yells by kissing her again. He won't pull away from me... He's too strong...!

Musuko slowly leaned away licking his lips. He looked her straight in the eyes and placed his hands on the sides of her face. "Zhang-Yi... I love you!"
