Disclaimer: I don't own YYH. I do, however, own Ariana and the plot of this
fic.
Notes: I know, I know, I have too many fics than I can handle right now. But when an idea hits, I just have to go with it. Right now, I have three great ideas. This is one of them. I hope you all enjoy it.
Blood, Sweat, and Tears
A young girl with braided brown hair to her knees walked down the streets of Ningenkai. Her brown eyes sparkled with nervousness. Ariana had just moved to Tokyo. Her mother had died when she was very young, and her father was all she had left. She walked solemnly towards Sarayashiki Jr. High and her first day of school.
Ariana entered the schoolyard, aware of the many pairs of eyes upon her. She ignored them, as usual, and continued walking. People had always thought of her as 'weird'. Only her father cared about her at all. A cry of pain made Ariana look up. She ran towards the fighting boys. "Hey!" she yelled, "Cut it out!" The orange-haired boy stopped mid-punch and looked up at Ariana. The Raven-haired boy he was fighting also looked up at her. "I was about to finally beat him!" complained the orange-haired boy. The other boy smirked and kicked the orange-haired boy across the schoolyard. "Thanks," he said, "That moron nearly beat me." Ariana glared death at the raven-haired boy in front of her. She raised her clenched fist and flung it forward. Her fist made contact with the boy's face and he flew backwards into the wall behind him. Everyone stared at Ariana. The orange-haired boy now stood next to her, gawking. "You're the first person to ever beat Urameshi," he said. The boy known as Urameshi stood up. "I didn't think anyone could hit that hard," he said, "I'm Yusuke." "I'm Kuwabara," said the orange-haired boy. Ariana smiled nervously. "I'm Ariana," she said.
"So," said Ariana as she walked home with Yusuke and Kuwabara, "You are the two toughest kids at school, huh?" "Yep," said Yusuke. "Well," said Ariana, "I guess I'm gonna have to take your place, Yusuke." Kiana and Kuwabara cracked up. "Very funny," muttered Yusuke. Something caught Ariana's eye, and she looked into the tree above her. "What is it?" asked Kuwabara. "I don't know," said Ariana, "I thought I saw something." Yusuke and Kuwabara smiled behind her back. "Hi guys." The calm voice made Ariana jump. She turned to face a boy with long red hair and emerald green eyes. "Hey, uh, Suichi," said Yusuke, "This is Ariana." "Nice to meet you," said Suichi. "Hey," said Ariana. She turned her back to the boys and looked into the tree again. "What's with her?" asked Kuwabara. "I think she saw Hiei," whispered Kurama. Ariana jumped onto a low-hanging tree branch and began climbing. "What are you doing?" asked Yusuke. "I know I saw something," said Ariana, "And I'm gonna find out what it is." Ariana continued to climb until she could no longer see the ground. She sat on a thick branch and leaned against the tree trunk. Ariana closed her eyes and rested while she caught her breath. Suddenly, she had the feeling that she was being watched. Ariana opened her eyes and stared into bright crimson ones. Ariana screamed. Her hand flew forward of its own accord and who ever it was fell from the branch. Ariana jumped down after him. Yusuke and Kuwabara were rolling on the ground in hysterics. Suichi was stifling his laughter. Ariana looked down at the figure in the black cloak. He had black hair that seemed to stick up. He lifted himself off the ground and stared at her. "Shorty got whipped by a girl in one hit!" laughed Kuwabara. "Hiei will be scarred for life!" roared Yusuke. "Are you alright, Hiei?" asked Suichi. "Sorry about that," said Ariana, "You really scared me." "It's alright," said Hiei, rubbing his bruised cheek, "Just don't do it again." His voice was cold and harsh. Ariana smirked. "I won't hit you," she said, "Just as long as you don't scare me again."
Ariana sat in the local diner. Her baseball cap hid her face. She wore a pair of blue jeans, a pair of white sneakers, and a black t-shirt that said 'Don't get too close, I bite'. She sipped her cola quietly. She ignored the busy people around her. She was deep in thought. Ariana was thinking about what little of her past she remembered. She had woken up near a train station in Okayama when she was ten. When she was twelve, she moved to Kyoto. Now, she was fifteen and living in Tokyo. Before she had awoken in Okayama five years earlier, she couldn't remember a thing. Anything she did remember was fuzzy and broken. She remembered a young boy with brown hair and matching eyes. He was younger than Ariana, yet he was praised. The image broke, and faded to a smiling man, who would seem scary to most people. To Ariana, the man's face was comforting. The image broke again. "Hello Ari." A calm voice broke into her thoughts. She looked up to see Suichi smiling at her. "Hey," she said. "What were you thinking about?" Suichi asked. "My past. I woke up in a train station in Okayama when I was ten," said Ariana, "All that I remember from before that are broken images of a boy and a large man." "Tell me about them, please," said Suichi. "Sure," said Ariana.
Kurama sat in Koenma's office whit the others. "There's something strange about Ari," he said. "Who's Ari?" asked Koenma. "New girl at school," said Yusuke, "She beat me in one punch, then knocked Hiei out of the tree. She's as smart as Kurama too." "What's her full name?" asked Koenma. "Ariana," said Kuwabara, "Don't know her last name." "Well, go find out." "Whatever," said Kuwabara, as he walked out the door. "Now," said Koenma, "What's so strange about this Ari girl?" "She has no past," said Kurama, "She remembers waking up in Okayama five years ago. She remembers nothing previous to that incident." "She can't be," Koenma whispered. "Can't be what?" asked Hiei. "I have a feeling she's not a regular human," said Yusuke. "Maybe not," said Koenma, "Ogre!" The blue oni ran in. "Yes Koenma sir?" he asked. "I need information on the Princess Hakurei," said Koenma, "And hurry!" "Yes sir!" Ogre said as he obediently ran off to the record vault. "I'll explain it all later," said Koenma, "Right now, I have some things to find."
AN: I hope you all enjoyed the first installment of Blood Sweat and Tears. It's going to get better later on. By the way, there's going to be another OC in this fic in later chapters. I'm doing tidbits for Hateshinai Gem, so I guess I'll do them for this fic too.
"What's that you're listening to?"
"It's TriDestiny. The song is Flashback."
~
"What did you find?"
"Nothing, Lord Koenma. Your father must have erased the files."
I hope that's enough to keep you interested. Sorry the first chapter was so short, but I didn't want to give away too much of the plot line. I'll update sooner than I normally do, now that my e-mails have died down. ^^ Please review. Reviews are what give me incentive to update quickly. Ja ne!
