Chapter 2: Revelations
After first period the rest of the day went by in a blur. Nami would just mindlessly walk to her classes, lost in thought. Sometimes she would glance over to windows just to see if she could catch another glimpse of that boy she saw just to reassure herself that she wasn't losing her mind. But with all the crazy shit that's been happening lately she found that very hard to believe.
" Hey, Nam?" asked Ryo as the threesome walked to last period study hall
" Hm?"
" You've been really quiet today. Is something wrong?"
Nami glanced up at Ryo and sighed " No, I'm fine. It's just I've been thinking a lot."
" About?" asked Brendi
They had just rounded the corner and were almost to study hall when she spoke " Nothing."
" You sure?"
" Yeah, Ryo. I'm quite sure."
The threesome walked into the classroom filled with chatter from the other students. The teacher that watched over this class was never in the room she would just leave after the bell rang or never bothered to show up at all and the students wouldn't have it any other way. They took their normal seats at the back of the class and started talking. Well, at least Brendi and Ryo were. Nami was still too busy thinking about what happened earlier with the boy and the new students. Suddenly, she was snapped out of her thoughts when she heard her friends discussing the very topic she was thinking about.
" So, what do you think of the new students?"
" They zeem ok. I suppose." answered Brendi " But what was the deal with zat Urameshi kid?"
" He's supposed to be some thug over at the other high school. He's really well known for beating the shit outta other supposed thugs from other schools. According to a lot of people he's a real bad ass. But personally I don't buy that shit for a minute."
No sooner had Nami finished her sentence, Yusuke came walking up. He appeared to have his eye on Brendi. Ryo and Nami exchanged glances and smirked. This happened a lot. Guys would just come up to her and try their luck by flirting with her like crazy and every time it ended the same way. Nami slid down in her chair a bit, made herself comfortable and got ready to watch the show.
" Hey."
" Hola, Can I help you?"
" Yeah, What's your name?"
" Why do you want to know?"
Yusuke smirked " Just curious."
Brendi rolled her eyes and answered " Brendena, but mi amigos call me Brendi."
" Brendi, hot name to fit such a hot girl."
Nami put her hand over her mouth and tried to suppress a laugh. She couldn't help it she just started snickering uncontrollably, which made Yusuke look over in her direction.
" What the hell are you laughing at?"
Nami stopped dead, looked him in the eye and answered, " I was laughing at that lame line you just used. No offense man, but that was weak."
Ryo started laughing as Yusuke ignored them both and turned his attention back to Brendi.
" So, you wanna go out some time?"
" No."
" Why not?"
" Because I don't like you."
" Whatever. You're loss." he said about to walk away when Brendi stood up.
'Here we go' Nami thought mentally as soon as Brendi began to speak.
" How dare you!?! Who the hell do you think you are!?!" she screamed as Yusuke just stood there dumbfounded
Ryo and Nami began howling with laughter as Brendi began to curse in five languages. She went from Spanish to French to Italian to English then right back to Japanese. Yusuke was just about to say something when the girl called Kayko walked over and began to yell at him.
" Yusuke! You Jerk!" she started " You do this every time! Just leave her alone!!!"
Suddenly, the yelling got louder and louder as Yusuke began to yell back and that just caused the girls to yell more. Nami just kept laughing and laughing until she heard a voice behind here.
" Yusuke always seems to start trouble."
She turned around abruptly to see a pair of green eyes staring back at her. " Umm...Yeah. Shiiuchi, right?"
He nodded then replied " Yes, and I don't believe I caught your name?"
" Oh, I'm Namiko, but my buds just call me Nami and that is Ryo." she answered pointing to her best friend
" Nice to meet you both. Oh, and this is Kuwabara." he said pointing to the boy that just walked up behind him.
" Hey."
" Hi."
" Nam, Should I go break up the fight now?"
" Yeah, it's starting to get out of hand."
" Alright, and are you coming after school?"
" Can't, I got gymnastics but I can meet you after practice."
" Coolness." he said as he went to go play peace maker
" He your boyfriend?" asked Kuwabara
Nami blinked then a shocked expression spread across her face. She'd never actually been asked that before but she quickly cast her shocked look aside and thought this could be a good time to figure out what exactly these boys were hiding. Every time, she passed them in the hall that weird feeling always returned. She was determined to figure out why and to prove to herself once and for all that she wasn't losing her mind.
" Nah, we're just really good friends." she started " Not that he wouldn't make a good boyfriend. It's just I've known him for so long he's more like a brother to me."
At this point Kuwabara and Shiiuchi pulled up two wooden desk chairs and sat down. Kuwabara was sitting with the back faced toward Nami while Shiiuchi sat facing forward on as the conversation between the three of them began.
" How long have you all been friends?" asked Shiiuchi
" Ryo and I have been friends since Kindergarten and Brendi transferred from Brazil in middle school. Before then the only friend I had was Ryo and the only friend Ryo had was me. But then Bren transferred to our school and we don't know how it happened but we just started talking one day during class and we've been tight ever since. What about you guys?"
Kwuabara and Shiiuchi exchanged glances before they answered.
" Well.." Shiiuchi began " We just met in middle school and became friends. Not much of a story really."
Suddenly, they heard a large slap sound and snapped their heads in the direction of Yusuke to see a huge red hand print across his cheek and a fuming Kayko. Brendi and Ryo were stunned into silence.
" You are such a Jerk! How dare you treat her like that!?! You have no right to treat people that way! I am fed up with babysitting you Yusuke! Being your friend is like watching my little brother, always making sure he doesn't get into trouble. Well, I'm done. If you want to screw your life up, go right ahead. It's not my problem anymore!"
After she was done screaming she turned on her heel and stormed out of the room.
" Kayko! Come back! Don't be like that!" Yusuke yelled running after her
" I take it they've been friends for a very long time."
" Yeah, they've been friends even before preschool. How can you tell?" asked Kuwabara
" Because you can't argue like that and not have been friends for a while. It's just something that tends to happen when you've been close friends for a very long time. You tend to care so much about a person that you make their problems your problems and vice versa."
Shuiichi was about to comment when Brendi walked over cursing in French. Ryo sat down then Brendi took her seat still muttering to herself. Then Shuiichi looked up and said something back to her in French. Brendi to say the least was rather impressed.
" You speak French?"
" A little."
" I'm wicked thirsty. I'm gonna go get something to drink." Nami said beginning to stand
" Careful, not to launch the drinking fountain into orbit." Ryo said as Brendi began howling with laughter.
" Not funny." she said glaring at him then turned around and walked out the door.
" What'd you mean by that?" asked Kuwabara
" It's a wicked funny story." Ryo said
" Yeah, I still can't believe zat happened." Brendi said snickering
" Well.." Ryo began
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~***FLASHBACK***~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
" Step aside Yamazaki. Your in my space." said Sakura
Sakura was your typical school snob. Rich, popular, and thinking she was better than everyone else. Namiko hated Sakura and Sakura hated her because out of everyone in school, Namiko was the first person ever to get in her face and stand up to her.
" Bite me bitch!"
" I'd watch yourself if I were you. I can make your life a living hell."
" ooh, I'm so scared." Namiko said rolling her eyes and turning to walk away
" Listen up, orphan girl. You better watch who you're talking too."
Namiko immediately spun around glaring angrily at Sakura. Namiko was adopted but she hadn't told anyone except Ryo and Brendi. Confusion and anger built up inside of her. She couldn't believe she knew and more to the point she couldn't believe she just said that.
" What did you say?"
" Oh, I'm sorry. That's right no one knows you're an orphan. Dumped on your fake parents' doorstep. Obviously, your real parents didn't want you and I bet I know why."
Nami just couldn't believe she knew about all of that. She was angry and she could feel herself losing it. Anger and hatred building up like an active volcano ready to burst at any second. At that moment she had nothing but pure hatred for Sakura and wanted to make her suffer.
" You're gonna regret you said that. You stupid slut."
Before Sakura could make any retort let alone take offense to that comment. Namiko lunged at her, picked her up by her shirt and slammed her against the locker causing Sakura to cry out in pain.
" Please, let me go!"
" You listen, and you listen well. You ever say that shit again to me and I'll fucking rip off of your arm and beat you over that head with it. We clear?"
Sakura nodded her head knowingly. Nami was pissed and never before had she felt such rage or power or such a desire to hurt someone. Hell, she didn't even know she was strong enough to lift someone up like that. She dropped Sakura and began to walk away. All her friends were buzzing around her making sure she was all right and making rather rude comments about Namiko.
" I'll get you for this, bitch!" she yelled after Nami while leaning against the water fountain
Nami whipped her around and said in a very cold creepy voice " I look forward to it."
Then suddenly no sooner had she said those words she heard a huge bang and screaming coming from Sakura and her friends. They were all soaking wet as the jet from the exploded water fountain dosed them with gallons of water. Namiko's mouth nearly dropped wide open.
" I think we should get out of here." said Ryo, who was standing behind her the entire time
Nami began to walk quickly down the hall with Ryo when they heard a voice.
" Hola chica! I saw what happened. How-"
" Brendi, just walk with us!" Ryo said grabbing her arm and sped up his pace to a slow run
Suddenly, they heard another bang and they turned around to see another water fountain they just passed explode. After stopping for a second they continued to run and every water fountain they passed exploded a long the way until they reached their next class sat down and pretended like nothing happened and they didn't know what was going on.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~* END O F FLASHBACK*~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
" You should've been there. Classic threat and classic comedy. It was only after all that happened that we realized how freaking hilarious it was."
" Si, but only Nami did not find it zo amusing."
" But that was only the beginning. It was nothing compared to the whirlpool at that pool party."
" Or zat time she flooded the bathroom."
" Or the birdbath incident."
" Or zat camping trip we took to the lake."
" Or the time she had her swim meet."
" Or-"
Suddenly, Brendi was cut off when she looked up to see a very pissed off looking Nami standing in the classroom doorway.
" Having fun?"
" Hey Nam!" said Brendi and Ryo nervously
" Hi guys."
Kuwabara and Shuiichi exchanged worried looks as Nami walked to her desk and sat down.
" How long have you been there?" asked Ryo
" Oh, through most of the story and you two idiots listing off my freak accidents." she said in a tone that said she was annoyed.
" Oh, Come on Nam, you know it was funny."
" No, it's not funny and if you bring it up one more time I'll-I'll- well, I don't know what I'll do but it will be bad."
" It seems you have weird accidents whenever you're around water. Any idea why?" asked Shuiichi curiously
" Not a clue. "
Now, Nami was getting even more suspicious. 'Why would he care?' she asked herself while eyeing him. 'Cosmos, there isn't something right about him. I know it! If only I knew what it was.' Suddenly, she was snapped out of her stupor when she heard the bell. Nami quickly rushed to her locker to grab her things. She had to know what was up and she had to know what Shuiichi and those boys were up to. Even if it meant missing some of her gymnastics practice to do it. She was so occupied trying to stuff things in her backpack to get out of school and follow those boys she didn't see Brendi walk up to her.
" Nami?"
' I have to find out' she thought to herself while zipping up her backpack ' I'm not losing my mind.'
" Namiko? Earth to Namiko! NAMI!"
" Huh?" she said suddenly aware of who was talking to her
" You alright chica? You see out of it."
" Yeah, I'm fine. I just don't wanna be late for gymnastics." she answered throwing her backpack over her shoulder, shutting her locker and trying to see where Shuiichi went.
" Ok, we gonna met you after gymnastics to hang, right? Nami? Nami!?!"
"Huh? Yeah, right. I gotta go." she said suddenly spotting him and walking off after the red head.
" Alright, I'll see you later then." Brendi said to Nami's back as she walked off in a mad rush. ' I wonder what that was about?' Brendi thought to herself. But she figured it was just stress, shrugged it off and went to meet Ryo.
Namiko discreetly followed Shuiichi out of the school and down the stairs. She would duck behind trees and bushes just to make sure he didn't know he was being followed. She was absolutely determined to find out what was going out. When finally Shuiichi stopped in a small park. Nami ducked behind the closest bush she could find without making any noise and waited. ' How the hell he didn't notice I was following him by now is incredible.' she thought to herself 'Either I'm really good at this or he's just a total dumbass.' But little did she know that the truth of the matter was that he didn't know she was there as a matter of fact none of them did. Suddenly, she saw two boys walking toward Shuiichi. It was Yusuke and Kuwabara.
" So, how did things fair with Kayko?" Shuiichi asked
" Well, alright I guess. She's still mad but she's talking to me at least."
" Let's get this over with. Where the hell is the shrimp anyway?"
Suddenly, a small figure appeared behind Kuwabara and said in a deep voice " I'm right here."
Kuwabara nearly jumped ten feet high and said rather loudly " Jeez, Hiei what'd you do that for!?!"
Namiko eyes widened and placed her hand over her mouth to keep her from freaking out. ' It's that boy! I can't believe it! I knew I wasn't losing my mind! He does exist! Hiei. His name is Hiei.' she thought to herself wondering why that name made her think she had heard it somewhere before. She quickly cast her thoughts aside when they started talking again.
" Anyway, I believe we may have found the demon." started Shuiichi
" Well, who is he?" asked Yusuke
" Not he but she."
' A demon? What the hell is going on?' she thought struggling to hear the conversation better.
" Hurry up and tell us Kurama. We don't have all day." said Hiei
'Kurama? Why did he call Shuiichi, Kurama.' Namiko didn't get what was going on here at all. The only thing on her mind was trying to figure out what exactly are these people and what the hell where they doing here? Everything was starting to get weirder and weirder.
" Her name is Namiko Yamazaki. We believe she is the demon we are searching for."
" The blue haired chick?" asked Yusuke " What makes you think that?"
" Koenma said we were searching for a water demon. Considering all her incidents when she was around water and the story her friends told us she is most likely the demon."
" Yeah, I was getting some massively weird vibes from her." Kuwabara added
Namiko's eyes almost popped out of her head she was just so stunned. Her hand was still placed over her mouth but she was freaking out mentally. She just couldn't believe it.'WHAT!?! What the hell is going on!?! I'm not a demon! I don't even know what a demon is! I knew my friends shouldn't have gone around and told all those stories. Shit! Who the hell are these people? This is so not good! Who is Koenma? This is waaaay freaky! Just calm down Nami. Pull it together and listen.' She took her hand off her mouth for a second, took a deep breath and continued to listen to there conversation.
" Are you sure it's her, Kurama?"
" Quite sure. I was sensing something not rignt as well."
" But when you asked her she said she didn't know."
" Baka." Hiei muttered
" She was most likely lying, Kuwabara. A demon is not just going to admit to being a demon. Especially, if they're in the human world posing as a student."
" Alright." started Yusuke " When do we take her to the spirit world?"
" Soon, but we need to compose a plan first."
Suddenly, their voices got softer and Nami couldn't make out what they were saying. She was determined to find out everything. She was already more than stunned, she was shocked, and she needed to know more.
" So, is it agreed?" asked Shuiichi or Kurama
" Alright, I'm there." said Yusuke
" Ok." said Kuwabara
" Fine." said Hiei as he suddenly became a blur.
Nami stayed in that very spot until they were completely out of sight. She slowly stood up, the wind blowing against her face and thought ' How? How can this be? Demons? Human World? Spirit World? Taking me away? No! I'm not going anywhere! What is Hiei? Is he one of those demons they were talking about? What is Shuiichi or Kurama or whatever they call him? Yusuke and Kuwabara? What's their roll in all this?' then she dropped to her knees looked up at the sky and yelled " WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON!?!"
Nami didn't know what was going on or who they were but she knew one thing. She wasn't going anywhere with anyone and she sure as hell wasn't a demon. Or was she? Well, demon or not, Nami wasn't leaving her home. She was going to make sure of that.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ A/N: Well, that's chappie 2. Hope ya liked it. I wasn't sure if I should've revealed that to her so soon but then I thought..ah what the hell! Why not? *lol* I bet some of you are wondering why they couldn't feel her presence while she was hiding in the bushes? Am I right? Well, if I am you're gonna hafta wait and find out! Until then PLEASE REVIEW!!!! Laters.
The Angel Of Night
After first period the rest of the day went by in a blur. Nami would just mindlessly walk to her classes, lost in thought. Sometimes she would glance over to windows just to see if she could catch another glimpse of that boy she saw just to reassure herself that she wasn't losing her mind. But with all the crazy shit that's been happening lately she found that very hard to believe.
" Hey, Nam?" asked Ryo as the threesome walked to last period study hall
" Hm?"
" You've been really quiet today. Is something wrong?"
Nami glanced up at Ryo and sighed " No, I'm fine. It's just I've been thinking a lot."
" About?" asked Brendi
They had just rounded the corner and were almost to study hall when she spoke " Nothing."
" You sure?"
" Yeah, Ryo. I'm quite sure."
The threesome walked into the classroom filled with chatter from the other students. The teacher that watched over this class was never in the room she would just leave after the bell rang or never bothered to show up at all and the students wouldn't have it any other way. They took their normal seats at the back of the class and started talking. Well, at least Brendi and Ryo were. Nami was still too busy thinking about what happened earlier with the boy and the new students. Suddenly, she was snapped out of her thoughts when she heard her friends discussing the very topic she was thinking about.
" So, what do you think of the new students?"
" They zeem ok. I suppose." answered Brendi " But what was the deal with zat Urameshi kid?"
" He's supposed to be some thug over at the other high school. He's really well known for beating the shit outta other supposed thugs from other schools. According to a lot of people he's a real bad ass. But personally I don't buy that shit for a minute."
No sooner had Nami finished her sentence, Yusuke came walking up. He appeared to have his eye on Brendi. Ryo and Nami exchanged glances and smirked. This happened a lot. Guys would just come up to her and try their luck by flirting with her like crazy and every time it ended the same way. Nami slid down in her chair a bit, made herself comfortable and got ready to watch the show.
" Hey."
" Hola, Can I help you?"
" Yeah, What's your name?"
" Why do you want to know?"
Yusuke smirked " Just curious."
Brendi rolled her eyes and answered " Brendena, but mi amigos call me Brendi."
" Brendi, hot name to fit such a hot girl."
Nami put her hand over her mouth and tried to suppress a laugh. She couldn't help it she just started snickering uncontrollably, which made Yusuke look over in her direction.
" What the hell are you laughing at?"
Nami stopped dead, looked him in the eye and answered, " I was laughing at that lame line you just used. No offense man, but that was weak."
Ryo started laughing as Yusuke ignored them both and turned his attention back to Brendi.
" So, you wanna go out some time?"
" No."
" Why not?"
" Because I don't like you."
" Whatever. You're loss." he said about to walk away when Brendi stood up.
'Here we go' Nami thought mentally as soon as Brendi began to speak.
" How dare you!?! Who the hell do you think you are!?!" she screamed as Yusuke just stood there dumbfounded
Ryo and Nami began howling with laughter as Brendi began to curse in five languages. She went from Spanish to French to Italian to English then right back to Japanese. Yusuke was just about to say something when the girl called Kayko walked over and began to yell at him.
" Yusuke! You Jerk!" she started " You do this every time! Just leave her alone!!!"
Suddenly, the yelling got louder and louder as Yusuke began to yell back and that just caused the girls to yell more. Nami just kept laughing and laughing until she heard a voice behind here.
" Yusuke always seems to start trouble."
She turned around abruptly to see a pair of green eyes staring back at her. " Umm...Yeah. Shiiuchi, right?"
He nodded then replied " Yes, and I don't believe I caught your name?"
" Oh, I'm Namiko, but my buds just call me Nami and that is Ryo." she answered pointing to her best friend
" Nice to meet you both. Oh, and this is Kuwabara." he said pointing to the boy that just walked up behind him.
" Hey."
" Hi."
" Nam, Should I go break up the fight now?"
" Yeah, it's starting to get out of hand."
" Alright, and are you coming after school?"
" Can't, I got gymnastics but I can meet you after practice."
" Coolness." he said as he went to go play peace maker
" He your boyfriend?" asked Kuwabara
Nami blinked then a shocked expression spread across her face. She'd never actually been asked that before but she quickly cast her shocked look aside and thought this could be a good time to figure out what exactly these boys were hiding. Every time, she passed them in the hall that weird feeling always returned. She was determined to figure out why and to prove to herself once and for all that she wasn't losing her mind.
" Nah, we're just really good friends." she started " Not that he wouldn't make a good boyfriend. It's just I've known him for so long he's more like a brother to me."
At this point Kuwabara and Shiiuchi pulled up two wooden desk chairs and sat down. Kuwabara was sitting with the back faced toward Nami while Shiiuchi sat facing forward on as the conversation between the three of them began.
" How long have you all been friends?" asked Shiiuchi
" Ryo and I have been friends since Kindergarten and Brendi transferred from Brazil in middle school. Before then the only friend I had was Ryo and the only friend Ryo had was me. But then Bren transferred to our school and we don't know how it happened but we just started talking one day during class and we've been tight ever since. What about you guys?"
Kwuabara and Shiiuchi exchanged glances before they answered.
" Well.." Shiiuchi began " We just met in middle school and became friends. Not much of a story really."
Suddenly, they heard a large slap sound and snapped their heads in the direction of Yusuke to see a huge red hand print across his cheek and a fuming Kayko. Brendi and Ryo were stunned into silence.
" You are such a Jerk! How dare you treat her like that!?! You have no right to treat people that way! I am fed up with babysitting you Yusuke! Being your friend is like watching my little brother, always making sure he doesn't get into trouble. Well, I'm done. If you want to screw your life up, go right ahead. It's not my problem anymore!"
After she was done screaming she turned on her heel and stormed out of the room.
" Kayko! Come back! Don't be like that!" Yusuke yelled running after her
" I take it they've been friends for a very long time."
" Yeah, they've been friends even before preschool. How can you tell?" asked Kuwabara
" Because you can't argue like that and not have been friends for a while. It's just something that tends to happen when you've been close friends for a very long time. You tend to care so much about a person that you make their problems your problems and vice versa."
Shuiichi was about to comment when Brendi walked over cursing in French. Ryo sat down then Brendi took her seat still muttering to herself. Then Shuiichi looked up and said something back to her in French. Brendi to say the least was rather impressed.
" You speak French?"
" A little."
" I'm wicked thirsty. I'm gonna go get something to drink." Nami said beginning to stand
" Careful, not to launch the drinking fountain into orbit." Ryo said as Brendi began howling with laughter.
" Not funny." she said glaring at him then turned around and walked out the door.
" What'd you mean by that?" asked Kuwabara
" It's a wicked funny story." Ryo said
" Yeah, I still can't believe zat happened." Brendi said snickering
" Well.." Ryo began
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~***FLASHBACK***~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
" Step aside Yamazaki. Your in my space." said Sakura
Sakura was your typical school snob. Rich, popular, and thinking she was better than everyone else. Namiko hated Sakura and Sakura hated her because out of everyone in school, Namiko was the first person ever to get in her face and stand up to her.
" Bite me bitch!"
" I'd watch yourself if I were you. I can make your life a living hell."
" ooh, I'm so scared." Namiko said rolling her eyes and turning to walk away
" Listen up, orphan girl. You better watch who you're talking too."
Namiko immediately spun around glaring angrily at Sakura. Namiko was adopted but she hadn't told anyone except Ryo and Brendi. Confusion and anger built up inside of her. She couldn't believe she knew and more to the point she couldn't believe she just said that.
" What did you say?"
" Oh, I'm sorry. That's right no one knows you're an orphan. Dumped on your fake parents' doorstep. Obviously, your real parents didn't want you and I bet I know why."
Nami just couldn't believe she knew about all of that. She was angry and she could feel herself losing it. Anger and hatred building up like an active volcano ready to burst at any second. At that moment she had nothing but pure hatred for Sakura and wanted to make her suffer.

Before Sakura could make any retort let alone take offense to that comment. Namiko lunged at her, picked her up by her shirt and slammed her against the locker causing Sakura to cry out in pain.

" You listen, and you listen well. You ever say that shit again to me and I'll fucking rip off of your arm and beat you over that head with it. We clear?"
Sakura nodded her head knowingly. Nami was pissed and never before had she felt such rage or power or such a desire to hurt someone. Hell, she didn't even know she was strong enough to lift someone up like that. She dropped Sakura and began to walk away. All her friends were buzzing around her making sure she was all right and making rather rude comments about Namiko.

Nami began to walk quickly down the hall with Ryo when they heard a voice.
" Hola chica! I saw what happened. How-"
" Brendi, just walk with us!" Ryo said grabbing her arm and sped up his pace to a slow run
Suddenly, they heard another bang and they turned around to see another water fountain they just passed explode. After stopping for a second they continued to run and every water fountain they passed exploded a long the way until they reached their next class sat down and pretended like nothing happened and they didn't know what was going on.

Suddenly, Brendi was cut off when she looked up to see a very pissed off looking Nami standing in the classroom doorway.
" Having fun?"
" Hey Nam!" said Brendi and Ryo nervously
" Hi guys."
Kuwabara and Shuiichi exchanged worried looks as Nami walked to her desk and sat down.
" How long have you been there?" asked Ryo
" Oh, through most of the story and you two idiots listing off my freak accidents." she said in a tone that said she was annoyed.
" Oh, Come on Nam, you know it was funny."
" No, it's not funny and if you bring it up one more time I'll-I'll- well, I don't know what I'll do but it will be bad."
" It seems you have weird accidents whenever you're around water. Any idea why?" asked Shuiichi curiously

Now, Nami was getting even more suspicious. 'Why would he care?' she asked herself while eyeing him. 'Cosmos, there isn't something right about him. I know it! If only I knew what it was.' Suddenly, she was snapped out of her stupor when she heard the bell. Nami quickly rushed to her locker to grab her things. She had to know what was up and she had to know what Shuiichi and those boys were up to. Even if it meant missing some of her gymnastics practice to do it. She was so occupied trying to stuff things in her backpack to get out of school and follow those boys she didn't see Brendi walk up to her.
" Nami?"
' I have to find out' she thought to herself while zipping up her backpack ' I'm not losing my mind.'
" Namiko? Earth to Namiko! NAMI!"
" Huh?" she said suddenly aware of who was talking to her
" You alright chica? You see out of it."
" Yeah, I'm fine. I just don't wanna be late for gymnastics." she answered throwing her backpack over her shoulder, shutting her locker and trying to see where Shuiichi went.
" Ok, we gonna met you after gymnastics to hang, right? Nami? Nami!?!"
"Huh? Yeah, right. I gotta go." she said suddenly spotting him and walking off after the red head.
" Alright, I'll see you later then." Brendi said to Nami's back as she walked off in a mad rush. ' I wonder what that was about?' Brendi thought to herself. But she figured it was just stress, shrugged it off and went to meet Ryo.
Namiko discreetly followed Shuiichi out of the school and down the stairs. She would duck behind trees and bushes just to make sure he didn't know he was being followed. She was absolutely determined to find out what was going out. When finally Shuiichi stopped in a small park. Nami ducked behind the closest bush she could find without making any noise and waited. ' How the hell he didn't notice I was following him by now is incredible.' she thought to herself 'Either I'm really good at this or he's just a total dumbass.' But little did she know that the truth of the matter was that he didn't know she was there as a matter of fact none of them did. Suddenly, she saw two boys walking toward Shuiichi. It was Yusuke and Kuwabara.
" So, how did things fair with Kayko?" Shuiichi asked
" Well, alright I guess. She's still mad but she's talking to me at least."
" Let's get this over with. Where the hell is the shrimp anyway?"
Suddenly, a small figure appeared behind Kuwabara and said in a deep voice " I'm right here."
Kuwabara nearly jumped ten feet high and said rather loudly " Jeez, Hiei what'd you do that for!?!"
Namiko eyes widened and placed her hand over her mouth to keep her from freaking out. ' It's that boy! I can't believe it! I knew I wasn't losing my mind! He does exist! Hiei. His name is Hiei.' she thought to herself wondering why that name made her think she had heard it somewhere before. She quickly cast her thoughts aside when they started talking again.
" Anyway, I believe we may have found the demon." started Shuiichi
" Well, who is he?" asked Yusuke
" Not he but she."
' A demon? What the hell is going on?' she thought struggling to hear the conversation better.
" Hurry up and tell us Kurama. We don't have all day." said Hiei
'Kurama? Why did he call Shuiichi, Kurama.' Namiko didn't get what was going on here at all. The only thing on her mind was trying to figure out what exactly are these people and what the hell where they doing here? Everything was starting to get weirder and weirder.
" Her name is Namiko Yamazaki. We believe she is the demon we are searching for."
" The blue haired chick?" asked Yusuke " What makes you think that?"
" Koenma said we were searching for a water demon. Considering all her incidents when she was around water and the story her friends told us she is most likely the demon."
" Yeah, I was getting some massively weird vibes from her." Kuwabara added
Namiko's eyes almost popped out of her head she was just so stunned. Her hand was still placed over her mouth but she was freaking out mentally. She just couldn't believe it.'WHAT!?! What the hell is going on!?! I'm not a demon! I don't even know what a demon is! I knew my friends shouldn't have gone around and told all those stories. Shit! Who the hell are these people? This is so not good! Who is Koenma? This is waaaay freaky! Just calm down Nami. Pull it together and listen.' She took her hand off her mouth for a second, took a deep breath and continued to listen to there conversation.
" Are you sure it's her, Kurama?"
" Quite sure. I was sensing something not rignt as well."
" But when you asked her she said she didn't know."
" Baka." Hiei muttered
" She was most likely lying, Kuwabara. A demon is not just going to admit to being a demon. Especially, if they're in the human world posing as a student."
" Alright." started Yusuke " When do we take her to the spirit world?"
" Soon, but we need to compose a plan first."
Suddenly, their voices got softer and Nami couldn't make out what they were saying. She was determined to find out everything. She was already more than stunned, she was shocked, and she needed to know more.
" So, is it agreed?" asked Shuiichi or Kurama
" Alright, I'm there." said Yusuke
" Ok." said Kuwabara
" Fine." said Hiei as he suddenly became a blur.
Nami stayed in that very spot until they were completely out of sight. She slowly stood up, the wind blowing against her face and thought ' How? How can this be? Demons? Human World? Spirit World? Taking me away? No! I'm not going anywhere! What is Hiei? Is he one of those demons they were talking about? What is Shuiichi or Kurama or whatever they call him? Yusuke and Kuwabara? What's their roll in all this?' then she dropped to her knees looked up at the sky and yelled " WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON!?!"
Nami didn't know what was going on or who they were but she knew one thing. She wasn't going anywhere with anyone and she sure as hell wasn't a demon. Or was she? Well, demon or not, Nami wasn't leaving her home. She was going to make sure of that.
