Princess Kat: . You guys are gonna kill me. I'm so evil.
Disclaimer: I don't own the original charas...but I do own Kumi's shirt.
^___^;
Okay, okay, I'll answer reviews later. I am just too lazy to do it right
now. Lol.
Ooo...some people guessed who was at Kumi's apartment. The guesses ranged
from her Dad to Kurama's kid, her Mom to a demon bad guy. But guess what.
I'm not telling!
The setting takes place the next day at school. ^_^ I told you that you
were gonna kill me.
~*~
Kumi walked through school, not looking just blank-faced today but more
angry. She was wearing a black shirt that had '50% Evil, 50% Bitch' written
across the front in red letters and black pants. She had her bag over one
shoulder.
"Yo, Shorty." Eikichi said as he came to walk beside Kumi. "What's up?"
"None of your business." Kumi muttered while punching Eikichi's arm.
"Ow! What was that for?" Eikichi whined, rubbing his arm.
"For going through my locker." Kumi stated, side-glaring at him.
"Kumi! Hey, Kumi, hold up!"
Kumi stopped, muttering something under her breath.
Eikichi stopped. "You actually told someone your name?" He teased. He had
been around when some people had tried to talk to Kumi during school
yesterday and had found it hilarious when she ignored them or cursed them
out.
Kumi ignored Eikichi while she turned around as a boy stopped right in
front of her.
The boy had long red hair pulled back in a -very- loose ponytail and blue
eyes. He was wearing a blue T-shirt and blue pants. "Mom said you'd be
here. I thought she was kidding. How's my best girl?" He smiled.
"Hello, Shinobu." Kumi said coldly.
"...why do I suddenly feel unwelcome?" The boy/Shinobu asked, his smile
fading away.
"Because you are unwelcome." Kumi hissed as she turned and stormed off.
"What did I do?" Shinobu asked, surprised.
Eikichi shrugged. "She's really pissy. Mind telling me how you know her?"
Shinobu sighed. "I knew Kumi-san when she was four. She used to be happy
all the time. What's up with her?"
Eikichi, again, shrugged. "Maybe she doesn't remember you?"
"Doubt it. She said my name when I talked to her." Shinobu said. "So how do
you know her?"
"I met 'er yesterday, but my Dad and her Dad used to know each other."
Eikichi answered.
"Really? What's your Dad's name?" Shinobu asked, surprised.
Eikichi was about to answer when Yamazaki ran up.
"Yo. Who's your friend?" Yamazaki asked.
"Err.Shinobu, right?" Eikichi said.
"Yes." Shinobu confirmed. "Your Dad's name?"
"Oh, yeah. His name is Kazuma. Kazuma Kuwabara."
"...he has a first name?" Yamazaki asked. He and his Dad always called him
'Kuwabara' and that's it.
Shinobu looked surprised at the name for a minute, but he quickly
recovered. "So, your name is Eikichi Kuwabara?"
"Yeah."
"Where'd you meet this one, Eikichi?" Yamazaki asked, poking Shinobu.
"Ah, he knows Kumi." Eikichi muttered, shrugging.
"You know Kumi?" Yamazaki asked, surprised. "I didn't think anyone really
-knew- her. What's your name again?"
"Shinobu."
"You a transfer student or something?" Yamazaki continued to question.
"Not really a transfer student. I get home schooled, but I heard Kumi-san
was coming here. I figured I would come to this school because I would
actually know someone. Who are you, again?" Shinobu finished his statement
with a question.
"Yamazaki Urameshi...did you dye your hair?"
Eikichi bonked Yamazaki on the head while Shinobu's face started to turn
the same color as his hair.
"THAT WAS EXTREMELY RUDE! OF COURSE I DIDN'T DYE MY HAIR!" Shinobu stormed
off, muttering things about rude people.
"I thought you learned a lesson after asking Botan if she dyed her hair."
Eikichi hissed.
"...did his re-action seem girlish to you?" Yamazaki asked, attempting to
slowly change the subject.
"Whatever, Urameshi. Be stupid if you want, but one day someone is gonna
shove your head through a wall for your dumb ass questions."
"My Mom says that same thing."
~*~ With Kumi ~*~
'What the Hell is Shinobu doing here?' Kumi thought angrily while taking
books out of her locker and shoving them into her bag. 'I haven't seen that
baka for ten years and now he shows up and wants to be buddy-buddy. And the
nerve of that idiot, calling me his best girl. I should have knocked him
out for that one.'
"What are you thinking about, Jaganshi?"
"Fuck off, Shinobu." Kumi hissed, slamming her locker shut.
"What's up with you? You're normally so happy." Shinobu chuckled, placing a
hand on Kumi's head.
"Normally happy? You haven't seen me in ten years, how do you know how I
normally am?!" Kumi yelled.
Shinobu frowned, taking his hand off Kumi's head. "You can't always be this
pissy. Did something happen to you this morning or what?"
Kumi sighed, grabbing Shinobu's hand. She pulled him to the most secluded
spot she could find close by. "Something happened last night."
"Huh?"
"I'm not sure what. I remember going home, thinking about some stuff,
talking to someone, taking a walk, talking to someone again, and then going
home. When I got home, I noticed it was dark but I hadn't turned the lights
off when I left. That's the last thing I remember. A snowball's chance in
Hell I fainted, besides, I woke up in my bed like I do every morning." Kumi
explained. (::Reviewers approach authoress with sharp objects:: Eep! Don't
kill me! I know you want to know who was at her apartment, but she doesn't
even remember that someone was there! ::reviewers start approaching more
rapidly:: O.O You'll find out sooner or later... ::reviewers sit down with
halos:: -.-)
"What do you think happened?" Shinobu asked, slightly concerned.
"I have no idea. I just know it's something I won't like if I ever find
out." Kumi muttered. "Your Mom didn't come talk to me and erase my memory
or something, did she?"
"I don't think she can do that." Shinobu answered, shaking his head. "We'll
talk about this later. Class is about to start."
"I could care less about class-" Kumi started, but Shinobu grabbed her hand
and dragged her off.
"Hey! You don't even know what my first class is!" Kumi shouted, attempting
to pull her hand away.
"We have the same classes. Chill out, Jaganshi." Shinobu said, dragging her
into their Literature class.
"Don't tell me to 'chi-" Kumi was again interrupted in the middle of her
sentence, this time by the teacher (Miss Helmer).
"Kumi Jaganshi, you are late." Miss Helmer scolded, tapping her foot.
"The bell didn't ring yet, you prissy bi-"
Shinobu covered Kumi's mouth. "Sorry. My fault."
Kumi stomped on Shinobu's foot, glaring at him as he pulled his hand away
from her mouth. "The bell didn't ring yet." She repeated. "I'm not late."
"You are late if I say you are late." Miss Helmer stated. "Now sit down.
Detention after school." She then turned her attention to Shinobu, smiling
at him. "You are the new student?"
"...yes." Shinobu answered.
"Come to the front of the room and introduce yourself." Miss Helmer said
just as the bell rang.
Shinobu walked to the front of the room and turned to the class. "My name's
Shinobu. I-"
Kumi wasn't listening to a word Shinobu said. She had sat down in her desk
and looked around the class. She was surprised to see Yamazaki and Eikichi
sitting nearby. "You're in this class?" She whispered.
"Yeah."
"Where were you two yesterday then?" Kumi demanded, still whispering.
"Morning detention." Eikichi answered.
"Really sucked, too." Yamazaki muttered. "Why didn't you tell us about your
little boyfriend?" He started to tease.
"BOYFRIEND!?" Kumi yelled, startling the class. "SHINOBU IS *NOT* MY
BOYFRIEND!!!"
"Miss Jaganshi! Out of my classroom!" Miss Helmer ordered.
"Gladly." Kumi growled, getting up and stepping out of the classroom. She
leaned against the wall near the door. 'How DARE he imply that Shinobu and
I are dating? He is so going to pay! And does that ningen baka really
consider me a friend that I would tell him things? "Why didn't you tell us
about your little boyfriend?" The nerve!'
~*~ Lunch ~*~
Shinobu was following Kumi through the hallways, straining to hear what she
was muttering under her breath.
Kumi had gotten kicked out of all the classes except History. Go figure.
Shinobu was only catching little bits and pieces of what Kumi was saying
such as "Ningen baka.friends? Ha! Nerve.knock his lights out..."
"Erm...Kumi...where are we going?" Shinobu asked.
"-We- are going no where, Shinobu. You are going to stay here and I am
going to drag Urameshi off school property and beat the crap out of him."
Kumi said.
Suddenly Shinobu was in front of Kumi, blocking her path. "No. We
-definantly- need to talk first. There is something important I need to
tell you."
"I am so sure it can wait." Kumi muttered, stepping to the side so she
could get around Shinobu.
Shinobu stepped in front of her again. "No. My Mom was going to tell you,
but I have to now before you go and disable someone from fighting."
Kumi's eyes flashed. "Do you think it wise to block my way, Shinobu? We
will speak later. Now if you will excuse me, I have a meeting with
Urameshi."
To a normal human, it looked like Kumi suddenly vanished. To Shinobu, she
had simply ran away.
"Curse her speed." Shinobu muttered under his breath as he started
searching for Yamazaki.
After looking for Yamazaki for ten minutes, Shinobu found Eikichi in front
of the school. "Eikichi, where is Yamazaki?"
Eikichi was dumbfounded. "I'm not sure. Shorty just kind of appeared,
smirked at us, then grabbed Yamazaki's hand and the two disappeared. Well,
not completely. I could see them...sort of."
"Demonic speed." Shinobu explained. "She wants to fight with Yamazaki."
"Then why do you sound so desperate to find Yamazaki? He can take care of
himself in a fight with Shorty." Eikichi sighed.
"Listen, Eikichi," Shinobu said in a serious tone. "Your father has told
you what he used to do?"
"Assistant spirit detective?"
"Sort of. My Mom is supposed to come tell you this, but I figure you will
help me find Kumi and Yamazaki if I tell you now. There is things going
wrong in the spirit world. All kinds of things. Koenma is going to gather
Yusuke's team to find out what the Hell is going on and stop it. But they
are going to suggest that the team take their kids. Koenma-sama knows that
the team can't handle it on their own. They need back up. They need all
their kids and all their kids' powers. Are you getting what I'm saying? If
Kumi or Yamazaki hurt each other severely, we are going to have a problem.
We need both of them. Yamazaki has pure strength and can probably learn the
spirit gun like his Dad. And he has a lot of determination. Kumi has her
speed and strength. Not to mention that now she has a very fiery attitude.
She could easily learn to use a katana or sword, I'm sure. And if she's
anything like her Mother..." Shinobu trailed off. He could not and would
not finish that sentence. "They both have a lot of skill and are needed for
the mission."
"And you know this...how?" Eikichi asked, not entirely believing Shinobu.
"Duh! My Mom is Botan! Don't believe me? I have her color eyes and my
explosion when Yamazaki asked about my hair should say something!" Shinobu
exclaimed, getting frustrated.
'He's got a point.' Eikichi thought. "Okay, let's find them."
"A little late, don't you think?"
Shinobu and Eikichi looked to see Yusuke.
"Yusuke? What are you doing here?" Shinobu asked, surprised.
"Figured you'd be worried about Yamazaki and his little friend. Yamazaki
will be here in a few minutes. He has a bit of a load to carry back to
school." Yusuke chuckled at his last statement.
'I thought Yamazaki was going to tell Yusuke about Kumi. Oh well.' Eikichi
thought. "Uh...you stopped them from fighting, right?"
"Yeah. Botan told me what's going on in the Spirit World and then told me
to stop Yamazaki from a fight he was getting into right then." Yusuke
sighed. "She always knows when things are going on, huh? Well, gotta jet."
And with that, Yusuke left.
"Why did he even bother to tell us Yamazaki was coming back?"
"So that you guys wouldn't come looking for me and Shorty here." Yamazaki
said as he showed up.
"Woah. She beat up on you a bit, huh?" Shinobu asked.
There was a large, dark bruise on Yamazaki's cheek and his lip was split
and bleeding a bit. His shirt was ripped up and there was some blood
starting to stain through what was left of his right shirtsleeve.
"Whatever." Yamazaki muttered.
Eikichi wasn't dwelling so much on the condition of Yamazaki, but more of
what he had.
Yamazaki was carrying an unconscious Kumi in his arms, not that he looked
happy about it. She looked about as bad as him, a few small light bruises
starting to form on her face and some rips in her clothes. She had blood
dripping down from a cut on her left arm. There were other small cuts that
were bleeding slightly. Her hair had come out of her ponytail and was
messily placed over her shoulder, chest, and stomach area. (Talk about long
hair ::sniffles:: I had to cut mine)
"Man, Urameshi, if the principle saw you now, you'd definantly be
expelled." Eikichi muttered.
"Yeah, yeah, so what do we do with her? We gotta get back to classes. Dad
and Mom will kill me if I ditch, but they'll kill me if I just leave her
lying around to." Yamazaki said.
"I'll take her to the nurses office." Shinobu volunteered. "I'll say I
found her in front of the school like this."
"No, she can't be brought into the school. The principle will blame this on
Yamazaki, proof he did it or not." Eikichi stated.
Kumi groaned softly.
"We can try to wake her up." Shinobu said finally.
"She's already starting to wake up." Yamazaki told Shinobu. "You take her.
She'll flip if she knows I carried her back to school. I am not on her
favorites list."
Too late. Kumi slowly opened her eyes.
"AHH! URAMESHI, WHAT THE HELL DO YOU THINK YOU ARE DOING?!" Kumi screamed
when she saw his surprised look. "Put me down, put me down, PUT ME DOWN!!!"
"As you wish." Yamazaki chuckled, smirking. He unceremoniously dropped Kumi
on the ground.
Kumi stood to her feet, glaring at Yamazaki angrily. But then her legs gave
out and she fell to her knees. "Err..."
Shinobu sighed. "I'll take you home, Kumi." He held his hand out to her.
"I'll help you up. Come on."
Kumi smacked Shinobu's hand away. "No way. I don't want your help."
Shinobu was about to start a speech about being stubborn when Eikichi
pulled him away by his shirt. "Leave 'er alone."
"Hey!" Shinobu whined.
Yamazaki watched until the two entered the school building then looked down
at Kumi. "You want help or what?"
"Not from you." Kumi sneered, glaring up at him as she attempted to stand
again. The attempt ended in a nice fall.
"Aww, forget it." Yamazaki muttered as he headed towards the school
building to join Eikichi.
Kumi waited until Yamazaki went into the school building before adjusting
herself until she lie on her back. 'I've never had trouble getting up after
a fight. And we barely started again.' She thought bitterly. 'Dad would be
ashamed of me. I barely got scraped up and I can't even stand. It figures.'
Kumi sighed. Someone would find her out here sooner or later and make her
go to the nurses' office. So she closed her eyes. 'I don't want to here
their crap. I swear, if anyone trips over me...' But she let her trail of
thought end as she drifted off to sleep.

Princess Kat: ;__; I know the reviewers hate me now, I know it. They want
to know who was at Kumi's apartment last night. ^__^ NOW YOU HAVE TO FIGURE
OUT WHY KUMI DOESN'T REMEMBER! NYA NYA!!!
Ooo...Kurama's kid wasn't in this chapter. Or maybe he was.
Reviewers: ¬.¬ It was SOOOO obvious. Shinobu is Kurama's kid, isn't he?
Huh, huh, huh?

Kumi walked through school, not looking just blank-faced today but more

across the front in red letters and black pants. She had her bag over one

"Yo, Shorty." Eikichi said as he came to walk beside Kumi. "What's up?"
"None of your business." Kumi muttered while punching Eikichi's arm.
"Ow! What was that for?" Eikichi whined, rubbing his arm.
"For going through my locker." Kumi stated, side-glaring at him.
"Kumi! Hey, Kumi, hold up!"
Kumi stopped, muttering something under her breath.
Eikichi stopped. "You actually told someone your name?" He teased. He had
been around when some people had tried to talk to Kumi during school

Kumi ignored Eikichi while she turned around as a boy stopped right in

The boy had long red hair pulled back in a -very- loose ponytail and blue
eyes. He was wearing a blue T-shirt and blue pants. "Mom said you'd be
here. I thought she was kidding. How's my best girl?" He smiled.
"Hello, Shinobu." Kumi said coldly.
"...why do I suddenly feel unwelcome?" The boy/Shinobu asked, his smile
fading away.
"Because you are unwelcome." Kumi hissed as she turned and stormed off.
"What did I do?" Shinobu asked, surprised.
Eikichi shrugged. "She's really pissy. Mind telling me how you know her?"
Shinobu sighed. "I knew Kumi-san when she was four. She used to be happy

Eikichi, again, shrugged. "Maybe she doesn't remember you?"
"Doubt it. She said my name when I talked to her." Shinobu said. "So how do
you know her?"
"I met 'er yesterday, but my Dad and her Dad used to know each other."
Eikichi answered.
"Really? What's your Dad's name?" Shinobu asked, surprised.
Eikichi was about to answer when Yamazaki ran up.
"Yo. Who's your friend?" Yamazaki asked.
"Err.Shinobu, right?" Eikichi said.
"Yes." Shinobu confirmed. "Your Dad's name?"
"Oh, yeah. His name is Kazuma. Kazuma Kuwabara."
"...he has a first name?" Yamazaki asked. He and his Dad always called him
'Kuwabara' and that's it.
Shinobu looked surprised at the name for a minute, but he quickly
recovered. "So, your name is Eikichi Kuwabara?"
"Yeah."
"Where'd you meet this one, Eikichi?" Yamazaki asked, poking Shinobu.
"Ah, he knows Kumi." Eikichi muttered, shrugging.
"You know Kumi?" Yamazaki asked, surprised. "I didn't think anyone really
-knew- her. What's your name again?"
"Shinobu."
"You a transfer student or something?" Yamazaki continued to question.
"Not really a transfer student. I get home schooled, but I heard Kumi-san

actually know someone. Who are you, again?" Shinobu finished his statement
with a question.
"Yamazaki Urameshi...did you dye your hair?"
Eikichi bonked Yamazaki on the head while Shinobu's face started to turn
the same color as his hair.
"THAT WAS EXTREMELY RUDE! OF COURSE I DIDN'T DYE MY HAIR!" Shinobu stormed
off, muttering things about rude people.

"What are you thinking about, Jaganshi?"
"Fuck off, Shinobu." Kumi hissed, slamming her locker shut.
"What's up with you? You're normally so happy." Shinobu chuckled, placing a
hand on Kumi's head.
"Normally happy? You haven't seen me in ten years, how do you know how I

Shinobu frowned, taking his hand off Kumi's head. "You can't always be this

Yamazaki was carrying an unconscious Kumi in his arms, not that he looked
happy about it. She looked about as bad as him, a few small light bruises
starting to form on her face and some rips in her clothes. She had blood
dripping down from a cut on her left arm. There were other small cuts that
were bleeding slightly. Her hair had come out of her ponytail and was
messily placed over her shoulder, chest, and stomach area. (Talk about long
hair ::sniffles:: I had to cut mine)
"Man, Urameshi, if the principle saw you now, you'd definantly be
expelled." Eikichi muttered.
"Yeah, yeah, so what do we do with her? We gotta get back to classes. Dad
and Mom will kill me if I ditch, but they'll kill me if I just leave her
lying around to." Yamazaki said.
"I'll take her to the nurses office." Shinobu volunteered. "I'll say I
found her in front of the school like this."
"No, she can't be brought into the school. The principle will blame this on
Yamazaki, proof he did it or not." Eikichi stated.
Kumi groaned softly.
"We can try to wake her up." Shinobu said finally.
"She's already starting to wake up." Yamazaki told Shinobu. "You take her.
She'll flip if she knows I carried her back to school. I am not on her
favorites list."
Too late. Kumi slowly opened her eyes.
"AHH! URAMESHI, WHAT THE HELL DO YOU THINK YOU ARE DOING?!" Kumi screamed
when she saw his surprised look. "Put me down, put me down, PUT ME DOWN!!!"
"As you wish." Yamazaki chuckled, smirking. He unceremoniously dropped Kumi
on the ground.
Kumi stood to her feet, glaring at Yamazaki angrily. But then her legs gave
out and she fell to her knees. "Err..."
Shinobu sighed. "I'll take you home, Kumi." He held his hand out to her.
"I'll help you up. Come on."
Kumi smacked Shinobu's hand away. "No way. I don't want your help."
Shinobu was about to start a speech about being stubborn when Eikichi
pulled him away by his shirt. "Leave 'er alone."
"Hey!" Shinobu whined.
Yamazaki watched until the two entered the school building then looked down
at Kumi. "You want help or what?"
"Not from you." Kumi sneered, glaring up at him as she attempted to stand
again. The attempt ended in a nice fall.
"Aww, forget it." Yamazaki muttered as he headed towards the school
building to join Eikichi.
Kumi waited until Yamazaki went into the school building before adjusting
herself until she lie on her back. 'I've never had trouble getting up after
a fight. And we barely started again.' She thought bitterly. 'Dad would be
ashamed of me. I barely got scraped up and I can't even stand. It figures.'
Kumi sighed. Someone would find her out here sooner or later and make her
go to the nurses' office. So she closed her eyes. 'I don't want to here
their crap. I swear, if anyone trips over me...' But she let her trail of
thought end as she drifted off to sleep.
