Chapter 3: Encounter and bashing

BEEP BEEP BEEP. Yuuki groaned, and pushing aside her warm comforter, smacked her radio alarm clock. "Goooood morning, folks! And it's a BEAUTIFUL day outside, with the sun making it's appearance for the first time after a cold winter!" announced the overly-happy-radio-announcer- person. Yuuki glared sourly at the clock, then, pushing aside the blankets, got out of bed and stumbled over to the bathroom. "God damnit, whoever that is, they're too damn happy this early in the morning," she groaned. Looking up at the mirror, she blinked at the yellow sticky note. "What the..." Peeling it off, she glanced at it. 'Hey, Yuuki, hope you had a good night's sleep! I'll be over later with Rando at about noon. See ya then! ( -Botan' (a/n: cricket chirps.)

"OH SHIT!!!!!!!!!! I FORGOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

Putting on a green hoddie and a pair of Capri pants, she nearly ran down the stairs, almost tripping over a few manga in the way. "Mattsu, mattsu, MATTSU! It's already 11:30!" (A/n: it's a Sunday, btw) Grabbing a snack bar from the kitchen and ramming it into her mouth, she slid over to the hall closet and grabbed an extra futon. Dragging it over to the spare guest room, she placed it in the closet, then ran around the house for about 15 minutes, picking up, cleaning, blah blah blah. Panting, she plopped down onto a stool in the kitchen. "I hate cleaning..." she moaned. Blinking, she saw another note on the counter. "Nani?" Picking it up, she glanced through it. "Oh, it's from mom..." 'Yuuki', the note read. 'Sorry to do this on such short notice, but something important has come up at work. We had to catch a flight this morning, and we might not be back for a few weeks. Take care of the house till then, okay? Gomen, but we can celebrate your birthday when we get back, okay? Love, mom and dad.' Sighing, she bonked her head upon the counter. "Great, just great. Thanks again, mom and dad," she muttered bitterly. Crumpling up the note, she tossed it into the trashcan angrily. 'It's always work, work, work. Why can't they stay home for once?' she thought to herself. She shrugged slightly. "Oh well, guess I won't have to worry about introducing Rando to them...speaking of which, it's almost 12." Filling up the tea kettle, she placed it on the stove, and stepped out into the fresh spring air. Grabbing a broom, she began to sweep the ground. "Geesh, why do I have to do everything?" She thought of her grandfather, who was currently away in Kyoto, and sweatdropped at the thought of him seeing Rando. "On second thought...never mind."

Kuwabara panted as the reikai tantei walked up the long flight of stairs that led to the Ookami Shrine. "Man, I hate stairs. Why couldn't Botan have given us a lift or something?" he whined. Hiei glared at him. "Baka. The ferry girl had to go to the Reikai to pick up Rando. I personally don't see why we're making such a big fuss over this one guy. I say we just take him out when he gets here." Kurama sweatdropped. "Now, Hiei...." Yusuke glanced over his shoulder. "Oi, can you people walk any slower? Come on, or else tattoo boy's gonna get there before we do!" Kuwabara shuddered. "For once, I agree with Shorty. Let's just take the
out." The orange haired teen narrowed his eyes. "I think we can teach him a lesson for what he did to us last time, eh Urameshi?" He cracked his knuckles together eagerly. Yusuke gave him a look. "Come on, this'll be fun! We haven't had any missions for awhile, and I bet Rando still has some fight in him." With a grin, the spirit detective punched the air in front of him. "Come on, almost to the top!"

When all four reached the top of the stairs, Kurama whistled. "Impressive." The shrine WAS pretty big, with a large courtyard and various buildings, a few sakura trees here and there, almost ready to bloom. Over to the left was an old fashioned Japanese house, with a teenage girl sweeping in front of it. Kuwabara blinked. "Um, hey, Urameshi? Doesn't that girl go to our school?" Yusuke looked over at her. "Now that you mention it, she DOES look kinda familiar...I think her name's Yuuki or something, she's in one of Keiko's classes."

Yuuki looked up from her sweeping, hearing voices. She saw a spiky haired kid, a...man or woman? She couldn't tell, and.... "Urameshi and Kuwabara? The idiot bullies at my school who disappear for long periods of time with no explanation and get in trouble daily?" she yelled. "What are you doing here?" Yusuke sweatdropped. "Yep, we know her, alright." Setting her broom against the wall, she walked over to them, a small scowl on her face. "You better not be here to cause any crap, cause if you are..." Kurama held up his hands reassuringly. "Iie, we're not here to cause any problems for you," he said soothingly. "If you're Ookami-san, we're the poltergeist team sent by Koenma." She blinked, and turned to him. "Okay, so you're a guy..." Kurama facefaulted, while Hiei snickered. "Maybe you should cut your hair, fox." Yuuki then turned to Hiei, kneeling down to look him in the face. "Hmm....your voice is deeper than I though...which means you're not a kid like I thought you were." Hiei began twitching, while Yusuke and Kuwabara howled with laughter in the background. Kurama tried not to laugh. "No, he's not. I'm Kurama, and that's Hiei. He's a lot older than he looks." He nodded over to the pair behind her. "And I think you already know Yusuke and Kuwabara." She eyed them. "Who wouldn't? They're some of the biggest punks at my school." Yusuke glared. "Hey, we're not that bad...." She raised an eyebrow. "Wanna bet?"

Hiei glanced up. "As much as I HATE to break up this lovely conversation," he said sarcastically, "we've got company." Everyone looked up. Yusuke sweatdropped. "WHAT THE HELL?" Botan was flying down on her oar, with an extremely large metal box balancing on the end. Even from here they could hear muffled curses coming from inside. Landing upon the ground, Botan hopped off her oar, and sweatdropped. "Good morning all, special delivery of one crazy son of a-"Kurama covered her mouth sweatdropping. "Um, thank you Botan, we get the point." She glared at him, then slapped his hand down. "YOU try dealing with him the whole way here! In a 5 ton metal box, none the less!" Yuuki poked at it. "Question, WHY is he in the box in the first place?" Botan glanced over at her. "Oh, because he wouldn't put on a nigen disguise before we came here. So Koenma-sama put him in the box instead." Kuwabara shook his head. "That's kinda sad, man." A growl issued from the box. "Sad? I'll SHOW YOU SAD, YOU STUPID NIGEN!" Yuuki looked up. "Psycho." There was a large crash from inside and another string of curses. Yusuke and Kuwabara glanced at each other, then began laughing so hard, their ribs began to ache. Ignoring the yells of, 'shut up!' coming from the box, Botan walked over, and punched a large red button on the side. One of the walls fell over with a large CRASH, and Rando stepped out, with an extremely sour look upon his face. "Detectives, I'd be quiet if I were you..." he hissed. Hiei snorted. "This guy isn't worth the effort. I'm out." And with a flicker, he disappeared. "NOT WORTH IT! COME BACK HERE, MIDGET, AND I'LL SHOW YOU WORTHY!!!!!!" Rando yelled. Yuuki blinked at the spot where Hiei had once stood. "Um, I'll take it he just went really, REALLY fast...." Rando stopped ranting and looked down at her. An evil grin appeared on his face. "So, you're the nigen girl.....heh, let's go and have some fun, whatdy'a say..." She glared up at him. "Psycho." Rando kissed the ground. Pointedly ignoring him, she stepped on his back and sat down. "What have I gotten myself into....?" She muttered under her breath.
