A/N: This is so cool. I actually got more than five reviews! *Twirls around and throws confetti in the air* Wow!

Disclaimer: If I owned Yu Yu Hakusho, then this stupid word processor would recognize some of the words I type. Sadly, that isn't gonna happen anytime soon. But who cares anyway. It's not like I really WANT to own it....and it's not like I really NEED it...*starts boohooing in corner of room*

I have a question: was the last chapter really that funny? I didn't think so when I typed it.

I will call Kurama a 'he' for the rest of this story (unless someone else is talking about him, say, Yusuke or something) because, well, he started out as a guy, right?

Nine Months of Horror

Chapter 2: Is that YOU?

"I'm not going to school, I CANNOT go to school, I'm a freakin' girl for God's sake!" Kurama practically screamed. "I'm gonna be laughed at like hell!"

"But Shuichi, I'm sure it's just a weird side effect of the pies," Shiori protested. "You have to go to school! What will you do at home?" It suddenly hit her that her dear Shuichi had just screamed. "Shuichi, did you just lose your temper again?"

"No, MOTHER. Oh my god, are you, like, TRYING to, like, piss me off?" said Kurama snobbishly.

"How dare you speak like that to your mother, young man?!"

"I TOLD YOU, I'M A FREAKIN' GIRL!!!!!!!!!"

"DON'T YOU SPEAK TO YOUR MOTHER LIKE THAT, YOUNG MAN!!!"

Hiei coughed very politely. Clearly, he was embarrassed at having to interrupted the feud between mother and son. Kurama had even grabbed a vase and was about to fling it when Hiei stopped him, giving him a cold glare that plainly said, "If you kill your mom you'll be in jail for life, fool."

"Shuichi is late," he pointed out. Sure enough, the clock on the mantelpiece read eight o'clock. Shiori screamed and pushed Kurama and Hiei out the door, throwing Kurama's backpack after them. "And hurry up!" she called after them. Kurama grumbled something about being too tired and just waking up and how bitchy his - her? stupid mom was.

"Um.....Kurama, I...." Hiei blinked. Kurama wasn't listening to him at all. He was still complaining about his stupid life and his brainless mom in a loud whisper; so loud, in fact, that everyone in the vicinity could hear him very, very clearly. Maybe that was why they were all staring at him.

But wait. Why were they whispering? Hiei's face darkened to a deep red as he heard bits and pieces of the conversations of the students they were walking past.

"Oh, wow, is that Hiei's GIRLFRIEND?"

"She kind of looks like that Minamino dude...."

"Yeah, she does! Maybe they're like cousins."

"Yeah, and Hiei's hitting on her just to get Minamino mad."

"MINAMINO? DO YOU MEAN SHUICHI? OH MY WONDERFUL SHUICHI! I NEED TO FIND HIM FAST BEFORE MY FRIENDS CAN FIND HIM AND TORTURE HIM! *runs off*"

Hiei was deeply thankful when the bell rang, ending the short break before first period.

~~~~~*~~~~~

Kurama and Hiei didn't have any classes together, so they didn't see each other for the rest of the school day. Hiei walked from classroom to classroom aimlessly, finally realizing after many confused stares that his first period class was across the campus.

Kurama didn't have any of this trouble at all. His trouble was different. Getting to his first class was easy, and he knew where it was. But along the way, he kept being hugged by various people (guys) and once, some junior he didn't know actually PINCHED HIS BUTT. His BUTT. Kurama didn't know why, but at once, he felt a distinct urge to slap that person silly. And for once, he followed his instinct. The offending junior was taken to the nurse's office half an hour later with three bruises, five scratches, and one missing tooth. The nurse almost shrieked when she saw his hideous face, courtesy of the newest hottie in school, mystery-girl-who- has-no-name-but-whose-true-name-is-Minamino-Shuichi-and-she-didn't-start- out-as-a-girl. (A/N: He was a hottie before, but now he's a female hottie, so....you get my drift, right?)

"Hey there, babe. Wassup?" rang through the halls. Kurama ignored them. "I'm talking to you." Still, he didn't bother to respond. After a few minutes of pestering, they gave up and went to talk with their group of friends, lamenting about the snobby new girl who didn't give a shit about anyone else.

FINALLY, he got to his class. Everyone else was already there. The teacher looked up, eyes bleary, and said, "Are you new here, dear?"

Kurama was about to say, "Like, hell no, you bitch," but stopped himself in time. "Err." He COULD say he was actually Minamino Shuichi, but would they believe them? Not if they were anything like the person who'd pinched his ass. "Yeah, I guess...."

His teacher smiled. "Well, then, what is your name?" He pulled out a pen and pencil and waited expectantly for the new girl's answer.

"My name is..." He cast around desperately for an inspiration. At last, his eyes stopped on a girl's lunch pail. "Keki." The class tittered. The teacher raised an eyebrow.

"Are you sure? I mean, no offense or anything...oh all right," he sighed, straightening his glasses. "Surname?"

"Jaganshi," he said firmly. "Jaganshi Keki."

The only sound in the room was the faint scratching of the pencil on the roll book. "Well then!" the teacher exclaimed. "Let's get started, shall we?" He pointed to an empty seat in the middle of the last row. "You can sit there, since Minamino-san is obviously not going to get here anytime soon...." Kurama wanted to say, "I AM MINAMINO SHUICHI! I JUST ATE SOME PIES AND SWITCHED GENDERS!" but that wouldn't be good for his character....

*poke poke*

Kurama turned and saw a boy he had never spoken to leaning earnestly in his seat. "Hey there...Keki," the boy said in a low voice, his eyes half- lidded. Obviously, he thought that he was being especially seductive and sexy. Kurama almost snorted when the boy batted his eyes. 'Like a girl,' he thought. 'How lame.'

"I'm sorry," he said, before the boy had a chance to go further. "I'm not interested." The boy's eyes widened.

"Oh, but you don't really mean that...." He raised his hand and rested it lightly against the crooked of Kurama's neck.

"Like hell I do," Kurama got out in gritted teeth. "And don't you dare touch me!" Sudden anger flowed through him, and he smacked away the hand. Now everyone, including the teacher, was staring at him.

"It wasn't my fault," the boy was saying. "I was just offering to show her around, and she got mad and hit me."

"I - he was trying to sexually harass me!" Kurama squealed in an unusually high-pitched voice. "He was, like, being all FORWARDish!"

"Miss Jaganshi, do you need to leave the room.....?" the teacher murmured softly. "I'm sorry if you aren't used to the rules yet, but no where in this school will we tolerate unfounded accusations and violence."

There was a silence. Kurama scooted out of his chair and pushed it back in with a bang. It created a loud screech, and many people winced. He made sure to step on the boy's foot and *accidentally* kick him in the shin before stalking out the door and slamming it hard. The sound of it echoed in the hall, and Kurama wished he hadn't gotten so angry. But there was no changing that anymore.

Then he walked out the double doors and outside onto the grass, where the sun was shining in a pale blue sky. He collapsed onto the freshly cut lawn and stared up at the clouds. He played that little game of his, where he would try to discern shapes from the white puffs of cloud. He found an elephant, a computer mouse, and a huge grayish cloud that kind of, no, REALLY looked like Kuwabara's face when he was thinking of Yukina. Kurama almost laughed...but then someone behind him cleared his or her throat. Kurama blinked.

Sitting up and turning around, he saw that it was Keiko. "Keiko!" he said, surprised. "You're supposed to be in class at your school...."

She stiffened. "Do I know you?" she asked haughtily. "I've never seen you in my life. Although you DO greatly resemble a friend of my boyfriend--- I mean, friend of my friend."

Kurama twisted his face into a sort of scowl. "Do I know YOU?" he asked, just as haughtily. "I'VE never seen YOU in MY life EITHER." Keiko looked confused.

"But....if you didn't know me, how did you know my name?"

"Oh." He was digging himself deeper and deeper into that hole.... "I, uh, recognized you from....somewhere. Your name just came to me."

"I see...." She grinned. "Then you're a psychic?"

"NO! I just - "

"Oooooooh! Can you read my fortune for me? Will I meet the man of my dreams? Will we live happily ever after?" she demanded. "TELL ME NOOOOOOW!" Her voice went deep, and she seemed to grow several meters in that one second. He cowered beneath her huge frame.

Kurama had no choice. Sighing in defeat, he muttered, "Hold out your hand." She did so, looking excited and anxious.

"Hmm....." Examining her palm, he sighed again, just to make her nervous, and said, "Well now, dearie, I don't think you'll have a very good future at all..."

"No?" Keiko's voice was stretched thin.

"Nope. In fact, you'll have three miscarriages in the next year --- " He stopped himself before Keiko's face would grow any whiter. "But wait! There's something shadowy in there....the silhouette of a person...but who could it be?" Kurama gave a fake gasp. "It's....Urameshi!"

"YUSUKE?" she squealed. "B-But....."

"Yes, YUSUKE! He's holding white roses....he's wearing a tux....and there's a beautiful woman standing beside him...." At this point, Keiko screamed.

"And the beautiful woman is wearing a wedding dress...." More screams. "And her face is now visible....the beautiful woman is...."

"AAIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII!"

"You."

"AIIIIIIII - wait, is that...." Keiko's face was dark red.

"Good-bye." Kurama left her, smirking. Keiko called out, "Wait!" but he didn't turn back. Now, he didn't know a THING about fortune telling, but something told him that he should humor Keiko a little.....it was so fun to watch her scream....*that bitch*.

"Hm?" Keiko? A bitch? Well, now that he thought of it, the stupid girl was probably the reason why Yusuke was so strong. But then again, she was so....tearful and idiotic...a bit like....HER. Maya.....

He gave another sigh, but this one wasn't a sad one or a complaining one. It was a sigh of content. Kurama found that he quite enjoyed being a girl.

~~~~~*~~~~~

Back in his own school, Yusuke was having some problems thinking about math. Instead, he was flicking eraser shavings at the girl sitting in front of him, and watching as the little pinkish/grayish shreds of eraser landed in her bleached blonde hair. He worked at making more eraser shavings, rubbing his last eraser on his desk, creating little trails of white as he did. Someone rapped on his desk, and he dropped his eraser, looked down, and saw Koenma, blue pacifier in his mouth, squinting up at him. Looking around and making sure that everyone was frozen in that moment of time so they couldn't hear him, he took a deep breath....

"WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING HERE?"

Koenma shushed him, bringing a chubby finger up to his mouth. "I have recently gained the knowledge," he said, "that this Kurama person has been changed into a female. Now, this in itself is not very bad, because as everyone knows, males are more violent and aggressive than females, so we don't run the chance of being attacked by her. BUT, if she continues to stay as a girl until, say, next year, we will all be in danger."

Yusuke snorted. "Why would you care? You're not going to be in any danger. You'll send ME to go be in danger."

Koenma looked annoyed. "You know, I hate it when people get smarter."

"Tchyah."

"ANYWAY......! We will all be in danger because at that time, next year, I have arranged a ball."

"So? Your homie-g's are gonna go over and dance?" He tried to imagine Koenma dancing with anyone. 'He'd be staring at their hips.....scary.'

"It's a demon's ball. And every demon is invited. So, naturally, being a fox, Kurama will want to go to that ball because his demon side will take over and he'll ransack the place because everyone knows that female foxes and more aggressive than male foxes and that everyone at my party would die and all the jewels would be stolen and Youko Kurama would return as a menace to anyone who crosses his path and who has their share in gold." Koenma looked up at him pitifully.

Yusuke ignored the look. "Who cares?" he muttered. "It's about time that you guys were robbed. You were getting WAY too rich and high-and- mighty and snobby."

"Why, Yusuke!" Koenma looked shocked. "THAT'S no way to speak to someone who gave you a chance to return to life! I had expected a MUCH better response! If no one stops Youko, the world will die! Ah well," he sighed, "perhaps I should ask Kuwabara. He will make sure the world stays safe."

"WHAT? Kuwabara fixes his hair in a pink Barbie mirror! You can't expect HIM to fight against Youko Kurama! He can't even win a fight against ME!"

Koenma cast him a dark look. "I know, but since YOU aren't helping....."

Silence.

"OH FINE!" Yusuke stormed out of his chair. "I guess I should go right now and track down Kurama and make him turn back into a guy so that YOUR stupid home won't destroyed!"

"Don't forget, Kurama may be a little touchy right now," Koenma warned. And with a loud POP, he was gone. Yusuke glared at the spot where Koenma had been a few seconds ago. But now, he was staring at a person's shoes. And the teacher was staring at him. They weren't frozen anymore.

"Please sit down," the teacher boomed. Yusuke shook his head and grinned.

"Sorry, Teach. I gotta go." He walked out of the classroom, feeling forty pairs of eyes following him, the teacher's burning evilly into his back. He didn't care.

Now off to find Kurama before he ransacked Koenma's house.....

A/N: Phew! This is SOOOOO tiring! *faints* *gets up again* Anyway, now that I know what going on, this fic should be pretty easy to go through with. Unless I hit that huge rock again like I did with my other fics.....

I need some feedback and some help on Yu Yu Hakusho. I know I can just go on the internet and search on Google, but there aren't that many sites that give COMPLETE and TOTAL and CORRECT information....just stupid fan listings for Kurama and Hiei.....

Please review!
