MUSIC HURTS
Author: this fict is just something I did from pure fun and imagination. Also because I was extremely bored one day.
"You've got to be kidding me Koenma! There is no way I can agree to this!" Yusuke shouted to the toddler that was looking at him coolly from behind the desk.
Chapter one: things are getting crazy
"Yes Yusuke, I am serious. You think I would joke about something like that? It seems that Rando has escaped from the prison ward that I had sent him off to. His next victim just happens to be in the music business, since he is skilled at monopolizing things with his voice, including human minds. This is dangerous, since neither of them are good or on our side. I need you to disguise yourselves as a rock band and get on his good side, Hopefully, he won't have to go to jail, but if he does do anything, he will be sent here immediately for trial. Understand?" Koenma asked, relaying the information again.
Yusuke let out a hiss of annoyance. "There is no way Hiei would go along with this." He said finally. "Well, you see..." Koenma shifted uncomfortably in his chair.
"His sister has been dating this guy so to speak. As you know that Kuwabara had said something to make her angry. She met him while walking in the park."
Yusuke took a deep breath. "So we are to become a rock band, get close to this guy, make sure Yukina doesn't get hurt while trying to capture Rando and make sure that guy doesn't do anything stupid. Isn't that a teensy bit too much?!" Yusuke complained.
"Get used to it or hear from my father." Koenma snapped.
"Alright, alright. Geeze." Yusuke said as he headed for the door.
"Hey, wait Yusuke. I forgot to mention, you will also have someone else assigned to your team." Koenma called.
Yusuke whirled around to face him. "Who is he?!" He demanded.
"Well, she is more like it." Koenma said slowly. Yusuke glared at him.
"A girl in a boy band?! That isn't going to work!"
Koenma gave Yusuke a mock smile. "Would you rather Keiko fight? Botan can be your singer, though I daresay she broke the karaoke machine last time." Koenma said with a snicker. Yusuke gave Koenma another dirty look and turned the handle to the door.
"Fine, alright already." He muttered.
"Oh, and one more thing, Yusuke. If you don't watch this girl's temper, you may find yourself dead." Koenma said cheerfully.
Yusuke growled. "Oh, great, another Hiei. Might as well tell Kurama to talk to her instead." He muttered, as he walked out the door.
"We have to do what?!" Kuwabara demanded as Yusuke told the other three what they had to do for the next assignment. Kurama examined the electric guitar with mild interest.
"So Rando is loose again? I there anymore information on the guy we are suppose to come into contact with?" He asked.
"No, Koenma only gave me his name. It's Kiyoshi (quiet one). Funny how people like to name their kids the exact opposite." Yusuke said as Kuwabara guffawed.
"Hm, yes... And the other team member?" Kurama inquired.
"Well, she was supposed to have been here an hour ago." Yusuke said, looking at his watch.
"A she?" Hiei asked with a glare.
He was giving the drum set a look of pure venom. "Well, yes, a she. Koenma said that she has a bad temper..." Yusuke trailed off. He was looking out the window. He swore he thought he saw someone look through it a minute ago. 'Must be my imagination.' He thought, shaking himself slightly.
Suddenly, Kuwabara shivered. "What kind of aura is that?!" He demanded. Kurama looked a little perplexed.
"I have never felt this kind of aura before myself." He said slowly in a bemused expression. Suddenly a woman came through the window, and jumped neatly onto the carpet.
"I suppose you are Urameshi." She drawled with a glare at a gaping Yusuke. She had come through the glass, not breaking it.
"What are you staring at?!" She snapped at Kuwabara. She had short, dyed silver hair that had red streaks and red bangs. She had on a black shirt that had black sleeves coming out from under it. Her jeans were black and green, and her jewelry consisted of a black chain that had a ruby pendant around her neck and silver hoops in her ears. She had the defiance of a punk around her, for her black and red gloves had the fingers cut out and her boots were combat. Her fingernails were painted a blood red.
What was most astonishing were her eyes, they were purple with slits for pupils, but just a split second ago they had been amber. Even now as Yusuke stared, one swirled into a mass of color and turned green, but, for some reason, her other eye remained a color in between green and blue, a sort of turquoise. She growled. "Something about my appearance scares you?!" She glared at Yusuke.
"No. It's just..." He trailed off.
"You have the utmost interesting eyes." Kurama said, finishing his sentence. The girl glanced over at him, but didn't say anything. It fact, if Yusuke had known her better, he thought she looked taken aback.
"So, ma'am, what is your name?" Kurama asked politely.
"Naomi." She said, not quite so gruffly. She sat down and eyed Hiei.
"Who are you?" She demanded.
"That's none of your business." Hiei said, giving her an equal glare. Naomi made a smile that looked more like a smirk.
"Who knows, maybe we'll get along before I kill you."
Hiei snorted. "I'd like to see you try." He said. They continued to eye each other with contempt as Yusuke explained the mission again. Naomi cut him off before he could get very far.
"I know what it is." She said impatiently.
"One of the reasons I'm here is to teach you about music and your instruments. Now let's begin so I can get this over with already!" She ordered them. Kurama picked up the electric guitar, Hiei sat irritated behind the drums, Kuwabara behind the keyboard and Yusuke picked up another electric guitar as Naomi picked up a microphone. She walked over to Kurama who was testing out each note with his finger and tuning it by ear. "Play the note I sing." Naomi commanded. Kurama looked up at her expectedly. Naomi gracefully sang a note. Kurama struck something on the guitar. Naomi half-grinned. "Well, it seems at least one of you know how to play a little. And by the way, you hold the guitar like this." She positioned his fingers correctly, and then moved on to Yusuke. "Same procedure as him."
"His name is Kurama. I don't know how to play the guitar, I was forced into this." Yusuke said with contempt.
"Well too bad, don't whine to me. Now here, play this." She sang a note, then positioned his fingers into the way the note was made. She sang it again and he strummed. "That was a B flat. Now here's a C." She sang another note and positioned his fingers again. She did this for about another 10 notes. "I expect you to memorize those by tomorrow." She instructed, then moved on to Hiei. "You are going to have to learn what each of these drums do and learn to make a beat as soon as you hear the song. Now, see if you can do a beat to this...." She sang. Hiei scowled and banged hard on a couple of drums.
Naomi took the drumsticks from his hands and glared at him. "You'll break the damn set if you do that! Here, this is what it's suppose to be (She plays the drum accordingly), now memorize these others too." She sang a couple of other pitches and showed how to do the drums in the specific order and tone.
Next she moved to Kuwabara. "Okay, let's see what you can do." She said, there was a bit of doubt in her voice. She sang an A. Kuwabara played a B. Naomi snorted, then sang a C, which Kuwabara struck right. Then she moved down the list, skipping around and playing flats as well. When she was done, he had gotten 6/8 correct. "Baka. You keep getting you're A's mixed up with your B's. Though, compared to the last two, you are doing pretty well. I expect you to memorize each key and note and be able to play them without looking by tomorrow." She said.
"Excuse me, Naomi, but you didn't give me an assignment." Kurama said, with an amused air. Naomi turned to stare at him for a second before saying, "I can tell you know how to play the guitar. You hold the strings expertly and tuned it. You faked not knowing how to hold the guitar to test me on how much I knew. I could tell because your fingers stopped at the exact spots without me having to really touch you. Therefore, you blew the cover. Just keep practicing. I will give you the songs to practice if you want."
Kurama raised a brow and nodded. "Okay."
Naomi growled at him, then shoved some papers into his hand. "We'll have to make up our songs of course, but first, I want you to learn some of these." She said. Kurama studied them carefully, reading the titles quickly.
"Why is it that most of these are songs are sung by American people in the punk rock business?" He asked.
Naomi gave him an I-don't-believe-this look. "Well, Kiyoshi is in an American punk rock band, so, in order to go against him, we'll have to do the same music. The beats in those songs are some that are most likely to come up." She answered.
Kurama simply nodded, and began to play one of the songs slowly on the guitar. Naomi sat on the carpet and fiddled with the microphone restlessly. "Is there something wrong?" Yusuke asked finally after 10 minutes of struggling on the notes he just learned.
"No." Naomi snapped.
"Okay then, help me with those notes you gave me, I can't remember them." Yusuke demanded. Naomi slowly turned to gaze at him.
"Give me orders one more time Urameshi, and you'll never live to forget it. By the way, since I'm your guy's singer, I might as well know your know your names. What are they." She said in a more demanding tone then an inquiring one.
"Suuichi Minamino, also know as Youko Kurama." Kurama introduced. Naomi's eyes swirled to black though her features showed nothing, then changed to one green and the other blue.
"Minamino, got it, and you?!" She cast a glare to Hiei.
"None of your business wench." He retorted back.
"Hiei Jaganshi, and I'm Yusuke." Yusuke introduced for him. Kuwabara went without being told.
"Kazuma Kuwabara. The #1 muscle at Sarayashiki Jr. High!" He stated proudly.
"Riiiight." Naomi said with a raised a brow. "I highly doubt that since Yusuke is the leader of your team. He's beaten Togoru, and he's endured Genkai's training. You, Kuwabara, are living a delusional life if you think that."
Kuwabara stayed silent for a second, then said angrily, "And how does a mean freak like you know all this?!" That did it. Naomi was at his throat an instant later. "What did you call me?!" She said in a dangerously cold, forced calm voice,
Kuwabara didn't answer, he made a chocking noise. "Put him down Aki, you'll kill him!" Kurama said swiftly. Naomi turned to look at him, dropping Kuwabara on the ground while doing so.
"Yes, Master Thief." She said, her eyes dangerously red. "Though, I would have thought you would have kept your appearance from me for a longer time period." She said, her voice oddly cold and venomous. She threw something at him, wrapped in cloth, and as he caught it, she disappeared.
