Diana-sama "Lonely Hearts"
Disclaimer: Nah. Still don't own Yu-Yu Hakusho. I'm saving up tho! I have 3 dolla. XP Summary: Jin/OC in the even chappies. GO READ CHAPTER 1 FOR THE SUMMARY! P 2. Jin: Birdie in the sky?
Ria reluctantly opened her eyes and found she was still floating... but she wasn't alone anymore. A boy with fuzzy red hair as bright as her own and confused green eyes (he has green eyes right??) held her. He had her olive-colored skin, obviously somewhat Irish, and he wore a loose white fighting outfit.
(I can't do his accent. Deal)
"Lookit what I've found," he said, Irish accent dripping from his words. "A little birdie fell from the sky."
Ria turned pink. "Who're you?" she asked hesitantly. "And could you put me down, please?"
"At least she's a polite little birdie," the boy commented. "Me name's Jin. And you are?"
"My name's Ria, Ria Ric- Did you say Jin?"
"Aye, that I did. Why? Have you heard of me befores?" He sniffed lightly. "Ye smell like a human. How could ye know of me?"
Ria's mouth fell ajar. "Where am I?" she asked shakily.
"Ye're at the Dark Tournament, lass. I guess this wasn't where ye where aimin' for when ye took to the skies, was it?"
"I don't know how to fly!"
"Then how did ye get all the way up here?"
"I-I-I fell through my computer or someth- I don't know!"
"Well I suppose I wouldn't be too comfy what with being up in the air if I couldna fly."
Ria risked a glance downwards and saw she was still very, VERY high up. Almost instantly she had buried her face in the folds of Jin's clothing again. It wasn't that she was afraid of heights, just... afraid of the very itsy-bitsy splat she would be if she fell.
Jin chuckled. "Relax, lass. I'll take ye down. Besides, I've got a match to go to soon." He began to slowly descend, obviously taking his time.
Ria looked up at him with wide eyes. "Wait. You mean... you haven't even fought Yusuke yet?"
"No, afraid not, lass. But the match'll be startin' in a few minutes. Did ye come to watch?"
"I told you, I f-" Ria stopped. "I sort of came here on accident."
"Where were ye tryin' to go? There's no place 'round here for miles!"
"I wasn't trying to go anywhere! I was just sitting at home, studying. And then there was the flash from my com- um, there was this flash, and I was falling." Ria tried to explain it so that a Yu-Yu Hakusho demon would understand. (XP)
Jin pondered her words for a brief moment. "Ye're from the Human World, then?" Ria nodded, and se saw a small, far-off smile on Jin's face. "I heard about that place. Very sunny and big, with lots of booze. Sounds like a paradise to me. Is that what it's like? Big and sunny and full of booze?"
Ria cocked an eyebrow. "I guess you could look at it that way... but humans are always so busy. Most of them don't really appreciate the beauty."
"Would ye be one of those humans?" Jin cocked an eyebrow right back at her.
Ria turned slightly pink again. "Actually, I guess so. I'm always so busy with school and work and studying, and trying to please my family. I don't have a lot of time for myself anymore."
"But ye live there," Jin stated so simply. "How can ye not have time to live?"
Ria swallowed with difficulty. "Other humans pressure you to do a lot of things. They make you do so much that you're too busy with what they tell you to do that you can't do anything else."
"So stop doin' what they tell ye," Jin told her.
"I wish it were that easy," Ria sighed. "We get in trouble if we don't work. Sometimes we get thrown into jail, a place where we aren't allowed to enjoy anything."
Jin frowned at her. "It sounds more complicated like that," he decided. Ria blinked, realizing they had landed on the soft grass around the arena. "If ye will wait for the match to be over, could I hear some more?" he asked with a slight grin.
Ria's cheeks colored for a third time. "Sure, no problem. Who're you up against?"
"Team Urimeshi today," he said.
"What!?" Ria exclaimed.
Jin eyed her. "Do ye think I'll loose that badly?"
"Oh, no, umm, that's not it... it's just that Team Urimeshi has a human, right?"
Jin shrugged. "3. 4 if the Masked Fighter is a human."
"Can-can I watch?"
"Of course ye can, lassie!" Jin laughed heartily at Ria's obvious eagerness. "Not much else to do, really!"
"Jin," Jin and Ria looked over to see that Touya was calling Jin, his face a calm mask. "Come on. The matches are about to begin. Who is she?"
"Just a wee lass," Jin chuckled, jogging over to Touya. As soon as Touyas back was turned, Jin glanced back and smiled apologetically. Ria waved to him, not minding the brush-off.
It gave her time to find Team Urimeshi.
