Sherkoni - Hi! I should mention my OC, is kind of based off of Jack Sparrow - so don''t own that!

But I do own Yu Yu Hakusho!

Kuwabara - Really? Awesome!

Sherkoni - I can''t believe he fell for that...I hope none of you did either..o_O ;;

Chapter 1: Captain Nero Silver



""Cleaning?"" Kurama asked raising an eye.

Yusuke yelled in annoyance. ""I left my date for this!""

Koenma, in his teenager form, flushed in anger and embarrassment. ""Yes cleaning! A very important person is coming to help you on your next mission!""

Seeing everyone''s skeptical stares, he flipped on his TV. ""Captain Nero Black of the infamous ship Blackstar.""

Kurama''s eyes widened. ""I thought that ship was a legend.""

""What is this guy strong or something?"" Kuwabara asked impatiently.

""Yes very. He is known mostly for his wit and his ability to get out of any difficult situation, and of course his--""

""Long silver pistol!"" A cocky voice answered.

Koenma jumped. ""Nero? You''re early...""

Nero laughed. ""Ah, the famous element of surprise!"" then he paused inspecting the people cluttering Koenma''s small office. A look of recognizing spread over his face. ""Botan!""

Botan blushed, waving slightly. Nero smiled smoothly back at her.

Shizuru whispered to Botan. ""You know him? Lucky...""

Nero casually walked around the room. His black spiky hair played loosely in all directions above the red scarf he had tied to his head. Lots of his hair played around his face, shadowing it mysteriously. A golden ring adorned one of his pointy ears. His wide gray eyes continually searched the room. His loose, baggy white shirt hung carelessly on his shoulders, the buttons half-way undone, revealing his highly toned, tanned skin.

He scratched his chin absently, revealing the many rings he had on his hands. You could hear him as he walked, his loosed baggy black pants adorned with many weapons. His high combat boots, however, hardly made a sound.

He stopped in front of Botan, bending down slightly so they were eye level. ""Hello love."" he whispered.

Botan''s POV

He bent close down to my face, we were only inches apart. Mischief and mystery played all over his face, especially in his large eyes. I could smell him, he smelled like the salty ocean and burnt roses - no, burning roses. I sighed, just like he always does. Damn Koenma for inviting him!

""Hello love.""

I managed a small smile. ""H-Hello Nero.""

He lifted his face away from mine. ""Who are your friends?""

I snapped out of my daze. ""Oh right, the boys are Yusuke, Kuwabara, Kurama, and Hiei."" I said pointing each one out, and Hiei - whoa - was glaring at Nero like none other. This was a far worse glare then his usual ''why-are-you-even-talking-to-me'' glare. Nero noticed and raised an eyebrow questioningly.

I paused for a second, wondering what was wrong with him, then decided that I don''t care what Hiei thinks, so I continued. ""And the girls are Yukina, Shizuru, Genkai and Keiko.""

Nero gave a playful salute with two of his fingers and winked. ""Ladies.""

Keiko and Yukina blushed. Genkai chuckled inwardly, then whispered to Shizuru, ""I might have to turn young again for this one.""

Shizuru laughed, then held out her hand for Nero. When he smiled and took it, she whispered to him, ""I''m available ya know.""

Nero let his face flush favorably, before he gave a small, nervous smile.

Normal POV

Kurama chuckled at the girls, swooning over the suave captain, then he noticed Hiei was continuing to scowl.

""What''s your problem?"" Kurama asked, cocking an eyebrow.

Hiei''s eyes snapped back to glare at me instead. ""Why do you always think I have a problem?!"" he practically growled. He glared at me for a few more seconds, then rolled his eyes and turned away again. ""Stupid kitsune.""

Kurama shrugged carelessly. ""Whatever you say Hiei..."" then he turned his attention back to Nero. ""Nero!"" he called.

Nero casually moved his eyes to look at Kurama. ""Yes?""

""Want a tour of the city?""

""That would be superb, thank you."" he replied making it over to Kurama, in a few swift strides.

Hiei rolled his eyes, moving a good 3 feet away from Kurama and Nero.

Nero stared at him with a bewildered look on his face. ""What?"" he asked. ""Do I stink?"" he inquired, a cocky look spreading over his face, knowing full well he didn''t.

Hiei snorted. ""No. Your ego is just so big, it doesn''t leave any standing room for the rest of us.""

Nero''s eyes narrowed in annoyance and he opened his mouth to say something, but Kurama interrupted, pushing him towards the door. ""BOTH of your egos are too big, and your practically suffocating the rest of us with your cocky, emphatic aroma!""

Yusuke laughed, following Kurama out the door with Nero. ""We''ll be back, hopefully, before six."" he told Koenma.

Hiei, face blushing with embarrassment and anger, was about to shout a quick retort to Kurama, but was interrupted by Botan.

""Well that was a swell thing to say to our guest!""

""Excuse me?""

""I know I shouldn''t expect much from you Hiei, but you couldn''t even muster a simple hello! And besides-- you have no room to talk about egos in the first place! Of all the despicable, low life--""

Hiei glanced lazily at her. ""I''m sorry....were you talking?""

Botan stared at him for a few seconds before she let out and exasperated scream.

""You little jerk! You''re just jealous that you aren''t half the man that Nero is!""

Hiei rolled his eyes. ""Listen, LOVE,"" he said, mimicking Nero''s slight accent whilst saying love.

Botan''s face flushed with anger.

""I''ve seen the types you hang out with, like Nero, in your Reikai palace,"" he paused as a smirk played on his lips. ""I''m the ONLY man you''ve ever met."" (1)

SMACK!!

Silence filled the room. Hiei stared at her, amazed anyone would have the nerve to smack him. He gingerly raised his hand to touch his cheek, where a bright red hand print was etched.

As Botan looked at a wide-eyed Hiei, she almost felt guilty for smacking him...""H-Hiei?""

""You little witch.""

Almost. Botan''s face turned bright red and with a final, ""Ooh!"" she huffed out the room muttering things like, ""Jerk."" and ""..of all the nerve.."" and ""..thrown in Reikai prison!""

Hiei followed suit and marched out of the room. Everyone winced as they heard the door slam behind him.

Keiko sighed. ""Poor Hiei.""

""What''d ya mean ''poor Hiei''!"" Kuwabara cried. ""He deserved that!""

Keiko frowned. ""No you baka! I mean I think he''s jealous of Nero, because Botan likes him!""

Kuwabara looked puzzled. ""I like Nero too.""

""Uh...""

Genkai rolled her eyes. ""Don''t worry if he doesn''t quite understand Keiko."" That being said, she left, closely followed by Shizuru who was dragging Kuwabara by the ear.

""Ow! Ow! Shizuru! Let go!""

Keiko chuckled and turned to follow, but was stopped by Koenma.

""Keiko could you do me a favor? Everyone left so quickly I didn''t get to explain much.""

""Uh...yeah, sure.""

""Tell Kurama to transfer to your school and to get Nero and Hiei signed up as well.""

Keiko sweatdropped. ""Erm....why?""

""Well Kurama would always be separated from you guys - and that''s difficult during a mission. And I don''t want Nero hanging around in my office all day!""

""Oh, well, what about Hiei?""

Koenma scratched his chin thoughtfully. ""I guess he wouldn''t have to. It just might be easier so we don''t have to go out and find him all the time.""

Keiko nodded. ""Hey Koenma...will Botan be going to school with us too?""

Koenma looked at her carefully before replying. ""Yes..."" he said slowly.

Keiko let a squeal of delight. She was so excited that her bubbly blue-haired friend would be going to school with her.

Koenma blinked and tapped his ear, making sure he could still hear properly.

""Um....good luck then?""

Keiko nodded quickly and headed for the door. When her hand reached the handle, she remembered something. She turned to face Koenma. ""Koenma?""

""Yes?""

""What''s the mission?""

He smiled mischievously. ""You''ll see.""

Keiko nodded slowly. His face was so cute like that...it highlighted his pretty, gold eyes and --

""Keiko?""

Keiko laughed nervously, blushing. ""S-Sorry...""

She hurried through the door. ''Impure thoughts! Impure thoughts!'' she thought, cursing herself. Then she shrugged, ''Oh well, I''m a teenaged girl -- can''t stop it all the time!''



**At the Mall**



Nero distractedly sucked on the straw of his Orange Julius.

Kurama noticed Nero was in his own little world of thought. And he was pretty sure he knew what about. ""Don''t worry about Hiei, he''s not the easiest person to get close to.""

Yusuke laughed. ""Yeah, there''s a wall there."" (2)

Kurama elbowed him in the ribs.

""Ow! What was that--""

""We''re trying to get him to like Hiei, remember?!""

""Oh...right, sorry.""

""Nero laughed. ""Don''t worry, I wasn''t offended by him. Kinda reminds me of me actually...."" he paused to chew on his straw some more. ""Was that Botan telling him off when we left?""

Kurama sighed. ""It was.""

""Botan''s the only one who ever dares to tell Hiei off."" Yusuke laughed. ""He doesn''t like it.""

Nero looked slightly confused.

""Hiei grew up mostly by himself, so he isn''t used to people telling him what is right and wrong."" Kurama explained. ""Actually...a few times he''s even listened to her. Sort of...""

Nero nodded in understanding. ""I see...""

Suddenly Kurama''s cell phone started ringing inside his pocket. ""Excuse me."" he said as he reached in his pocket to pull it out. ""Hello?""

A burdened look passed over Kurama''s face. ""Mm-hm....alright. Hiei isn''t with me though.....yes I know, but I don''t have time so why don''t you tell him--""

Kurama held the phone away from his ear and Yusuke and Nero could hear Keiko''s voice.

""WHAT?!?!? ARE YOU INSANE, HE''LL CUT ME IN A MILLION PIECES FOR EVEN SUGGESTING IT!?!?! KURAMA! KURAMA!""

Kurama nervously put the phone back to his ear. ""Keiko, please! Tell him I told you to ask him about school....besides he knows what Yusuke would do to him if he did anything anyways............Thank you Keiko! Bye!""

""May I ask what that was all about?"" Nero questioned casually.

Kurama sighed, smiling a little. ""How do you feel about going to school for once? In Yusuke''s school as a matter of fact?""

""I don''t know if even you could handle school."" Yusuke said, a pout in his voice. ""It really, REALLY, sucks.""

Nero folded his arms. ""I''m Captain Nero Silver mate. I can handle times tables.""

Kurama sweatdropped. ""Well...""

Yusuke laughed. ""That''s elementary school dude, now you''ll be learning algebraic equations!"" he said continuing to laugh.

Nero calmly walked over to Yusuke and pushed him in a trash can. He looked at Kurama. ""Shall we?""

Sherkoni - I don''t know if this will be a HieiBotan, or BotanOC...or maybe HieiKeiko (you''ll understand in later chapters) so tell me which one you would prefer, or if you want a different one speak up - I love alternate pairings!

1- That line was actually from Sinbad! ^^;;

2 - Remember on Emperor''s Groove and the big bodyguard dude, talks to the squirrel, and he says just that? Yeah, had to put that in, that''s the funniest part of the movie!
