War, is it really worth it all in the end? Why do we fight for a cause when there won't be anyone left to actually see his or her wishes become a reality? I am truly stumbled on why we humans do fight these wars. But maybe there is a cause, just an unconscious one. Maybe we will never know why we fight. But until that day where we will find out I'll just have to sit here and wonder. Or maybe not…
"Kari! Kari get up you're going to be late for school!" I heard my mother yell as I sat up and I rubbed my eyes.
"What time is it?" I asked with a yawn
"7:15" I heard my older brother yell. I then heard the front door shut as he left for school.
"7:15! Oh my god! I'm going to miss the bus!" I yelled as I shot up and threw the covers from my bed. I quickly rummaged through the clean clothes I had cleaned and folded the night before and put on a pair of jeans and a t-shirt. I ran into the bathroom and brushed my teeth and pulled my hair up into a ponytail. I grabbed my backpack and ran down the stairs where I quickly threw on my shoes and jacket and ran out the door as I grabbed a breakfast bar. I sat at the top of my driveway and waited for my bus. It was now half past and my mom had left for work. I let out a heavy sigh finally deciding that I had missed the bus and needed to walk to school.
"Damn it this is the 3rd time this week! Why the hell can't I ever wake up on time!"? I cursed. It was true this was the 3rd time this had happened this week, my parents didn't know there was know way I way letting them know either. I started to walk through my backyard towards the shortcut that would get me to my school. It was a fairly nice day, the sun was out and there wasn't a cloud in sight. The shortcut bended through the woods, across the stream and to the soccer field of the elementary school, from there I had to walk down the street a while to my school. I would be late for school, no doubt but at least I would be there. The woods seemed different today like the path led somewhere different. I could feel something inside of me telling me to go on the path and to follow where it lead, and I did so. It led to a fountain. It was very mystical almost as if you could see fairies dancing upon the glistening water. I walked around it and ended up tripping on a root. My weight caused the ground beneath me to give and I fell. But something happened as I fell down that hall. Rather than being stuck in a hole I landed into a cavern. It was somewhat dark but its water glistened in golden shimmers of light. I looked around, looking for any sign of light that might mean a way out.
"It must be my lucky day, a way out over there!" I exclaimed and I ran out of the cavern. But my excitement soon changed to surprise. This wasn't my backyard, or anyplace close to my town.
"Where am I?" I asked out loud
"Look out!" I heard someone shout and felt a body push me to the ground. I looked up at the person who now lay on top of me. It was a teenage boy who seemed to be about my age. He had dark brown eyes and his hair was short and black. He wore a white t-shirt tucked into a pair of jeans and a jean jacket. He stood up and I began to rise to my feet.
"No! Stay down!" The boy yelled and I quickly threw myself to the floor. I looked up at him as he stood his arm up and his fingers in the shape of a gun. His eyes locked onto the figure that he had been fighting with as he aimed his finger. I noticed a small ball of light blue light form at the tip of his finger.
"Spirit Gun!" he shouted and the ball of light that was on the tip of his finger now became a beam that shot right through the heart of his attacker, who promptly fell dead after the shot.
"Who… who are you? And what…. Was th.. that?" I asked nervously
"The name's Yusuke, Yusuke Urameshi and that was the spirit gun. It's a technique that uses spirit energy to power it." He replied
"Spirit energy?" I questioned
"You know how some people say they talk to ghosts? That's spirit awareness, well spirit energy is the energy that comes from your spirit, or the power is another way to put it." He tried to explain
"Ok um yeah I think I get it. Now where am I!" I asked
"Oh um yeah…. Uh this is spirit world." He answered I laughed; I couldn't help it just the thought of the existence of anything this kid was saying was a joke.
"So where is the king of spirit world?' I asked sarcastically
"Hey I know what you're thinking, this is a whole bunch of bullshit, I thought the same thing but hey I think you'll get used to it." He said
"Yeah I'm sure I will." I said in a tone of sarcasm
"Would you cut the crap with the sarcasm? You may not realize it but you are very important to this world. They call you the wing goddess and you are the key to saving the three realms. Now enough with this whole explaining and mystical bullshit, it just isn't me. Now I never got your name what is it?" Yusuke replied
"Kari, Kari Yuramora. So where are you from, like where did you first live?" I asked
"In Japan, actually I still live here I only come here when it's necessary for my job."
"Yeah so what's your job?"
"I'm a spirit detective. Basically I kick anybody who's causing problems ass. I'm like a cop in a way but so much better. Rather than say you're under arrest I just beat the shit out of um unless they give up, which that never happens." He explained as we continued walking
"So you fight a lot? You must have a lot of experience then." I replied
"Well before I was a spirit detective I was a juvenile delinquent, not that I am not now, but still back then was different. I was and still and the worst punk of Sariyaski Junior High." He said with pride
"What about you?"
"Well I wouldn't call myself a delinquent. I have an 18-year-old brother and my mother. My father passed away when we were young, I was only 3." I answered
"Oh so you're kinda like me, I don't have a father either. My mother was never very responsible with me either so that's kinda how I ended up like this. But in a way I thank her, it toughened me up." He said
"So when you came here did you fall through a hole into a cavern? Or was it different for you?" I asked
"Much different in fact I was hit by a car and killed when I saved a little boy. Then I came here as a ghost. And in exchange for my life I had to hatch a spirit beast that fed off my energy. If I was good it would hatch into a friendly guide who would show me the steps back to life. It I was bad then it would hatch and devour me whole." He explained
"So I see you were good?" I asked
"Not exactly you see because my body needed to be saved my childhood friend went into a fire to get my body so I could still come back to life. But during the time she was trying to save my body she became trapped so I used my egg in exchange for my ticket back to the living world to save her." He began
"So who was the girl and how did you return to life?"
"Well her name is Keiko Yukimora and she's got a nasty slap. She's kinda like the exact opposite of me though yet she's the only friend I really had. Koenma, the prince of this world, I know I said king but the king seems to never be here, decided to grant my life back on the condition that I become a spirit detective. So now there are four of us Spirit detectives, who you'll meet later but for now I'd like to introduce you to my assistant, Botan." Yusuke explained as a blue haired, pink eyed, pink kimono-wearing girl landed next to Yusuke. She flew on an oar that seemed to appear and disappear as she chose.
"Hi I'm Botan, I'm the pilot of the river Styx and I'm Yusuke's assistant, welcome to spirit world." She greeted in a cheerful voice. I could only think of one word to describe her, bubbly.
"Now come on Kari, Yusuke and I are going to bring you to meet Koenma now." She added and began to lead us down stone bridge, which led to a large gate. She pressed a button that seemed to be like and intercom system.
"Botan here, I have Yusuke and Kari Yuramora with me to see Koenma."
"Come in." a voice said and the gate opened into a large hallway, which looked like a throat, almost as if a creature of some sort was eating you.
"Nice decorations." I said with a hint of sarcasm.
"Oh its nothing like this inside. See for yourself." Botan replied as she opened the door to the building. Botan was right it was nothing like the frightening hallway that now sit behind me. There were many ogres running around carrying paperwork, others sat in cubicles and others shouted out orders. It was like ogres were everyday office workers, not the horrible creatures that everyone at home thought them to be. I laughed at the thought of how my friends would react to hearing that ogres really just did office work all day and not the horrible things that they were thought to be doing.
"C'mon don't get lost." Yusuke said grabbing my hand and guiding me through the mess that was the ogres' working space. Botan knocked on the door.
"Who is it?" A voice asked
"It's Botan with Yusuke and the girl you requested sir." She replied.
"No be polite Kari, and you too Yusuke!" She said before entering the room.
"Hello Botan, Yusuke. And you must be Kari Yuramora am I correct?" he asked from his big leather chair behind his wood desk.
"Yes sir that would be me." I answered. The chair spun around revealing the person sitting in it.
"Good I've been waiting to meet you for a long time." He replied. He was a toddler with golden brown eyes that looked like honey and chestnut hair that was just a little darker than his eyes. He wore a hat with Jr. stitched on the front, and the Japanese kanji for Ko-Enma was imprinted in a circle. He also wore a pair of khaki pants with a blue shirt like the ones that marital artists often wear. And the most noticeable feature of him was the pacifier that he sucked on. I tried to suppress my laughter over his appearance as to not anger him but it was to no avail.
"Oh I hate it when everyone laughs at me like this because of my appearance but to tell you the truth this form allows me better hiding places." He complained. Botan gave me a look that said I should apologize, not a stern one just a sugguestion.
"I'm sorry Koenma sir, I didn't mean to insult you at all in fact I think you look quite adorable in that form." I said
"Really? You think so?" he asked
"Well I'm glad someone appreciates this form besides myself." He added
"Now Kari I would like to talk to you but it seems that I have work to do so it will have to wait. I will have Botan see you to your room." Koenma explained
"Thank you. It was a pleasure meeting you your highness." I replied
"Please just Koenma." He said and I nodded in reply. Botan led me from the room, this time into a different hallway which was empty except for a few other fairy girls like Botan.
"You did good. But don't spoil him too much it tends to get to his head." Botan said with a laugh and I joined in with her as we walked. We turned a few more corners until we stopped at a door. Botan turned and opened the door and walked inside.
"This will be your room." She said. It was very well furnished with various dressers, and a queen size bed. The walls were lilac and there were white fixtures all around. The feel reminded me of my own room back home, calm and open. I liked this feeling it helped me relax when I needed it.
"There is a set of clothes on your bed for you to change into if you please. I'll leave you to be on your own for a while. If you ever need me or just want to talk I'm right across the hall." Botan said nicely
"Thanks Botan, I think I'll take up on that offer soon." I said
"You're welcome." She said with a smile and then exited to do some work. I had decided to take a nap. I was really tired and I previously had not realized it from everything that was going on. I wondered what was going to happen next. And what it was that Yusuke was talking about when he said I was the only one who could save the three worlds. But for now I needed rest and rest couldn't wait. I pulled back the covers gently and climbed into the warm and comforting bed. The feeling was soft like I was in heaven, even if I was in heaven. I pulled the covers up to me for warmth and let my tired body fall into the deep sleep that I had longed for so long.
