People always say personality is the first impression, like when people talk to you for the first time or something, but its actually not. It's physical looks. Whether they look good or not is your first impression and that's the truth of it. Shallow, aren't we?
My first impression of her?
She was pretty, for sure, not that I liked that kind of thing, but you couldn't deny it. She looked tough, too. Her whole air and aura about her screamed kick ass, especially those gaudy necklaces.
She had normal black hair, long, and dyed red at the bottom unevenly, like flames. It was pretty normal, except that when she turned it seemed to emit a glow. No color, but it seemed…strange? It was a bit hard to describe.
Her eyes were a normal black color, dark brown maybe? But they too were a bit strange. When they caught the light, they glowed, too. Sometimes with greenish or blueish tints other times visibly red.
Her face was also quite normal, but there was always a frown visible. Whether she was frowning or if she was smiling, there was always a frown there. From the first time we met, I could tell she had a rough past, either that or an extremely rough day.
But her strongest, most lasting impression wasn't her necklaces, hair, eyes, or face, it was her kick ass personality. She was tough and wasn't scared of anything, that I'm aware of at least, and she had the sharpest tongue. Anything you throw at her gets doubled and hurled back. She knew her strengths and her weaknesses so well that she could cover it, making her seem perfect in any way except kindness.
She wasn't that nice, except at school where everything is sugar-coated. She never showed any of her true self at school. It's amazing she even goes to school with her schedule, her life. On a first glance, you'd think she was leader of some ruthless gang that killed innocent people. But then again…
Maybe that kindness she shows at school is real.
And her bad ass act was a cover up to hid her weaknesses. Or maybe she wanted that reputation so no one would mess with her. Maybe she can't show the world her bad side, but can't get rid of it either. Who knows? She probably couldn't even answer it…

Bad Ass Girl By: JinekaDisclaimers: I don't own any of the characters from YYH or IY not that you thought I did…
Full Summary:
The Spirit Detectives have a new case. A strange girl named Hitomi needs to be protected from IT and IT is not one to be defied. From the depths of the Makai comes IT, ripping a hole in the barrier. Yusuke and Kuwabara are at the front, keeping the barrier from leaking demons while Hiei and Kurama stay with Hitomi, but a International Science Fair sends Kurama to the U.S. where his mothers 'always wanted to be' and Hiei is left with Hitomi for the moment. But what is really so special, so different about Hitomi anyway? Looking normal at first glance, she is truly not as her story unfolds and her secrets are revealed.
I'm starting another fanfiction. I know. Another one???? When you've got two others to finish??? Tee hee. I couldn't resist. I guess I just like getting ahead of myself. I'll finish THE GLARE OF A FIRE DEMON pretty soon, and once this one slows down a bit, I'll get full speed back onto TO OUTWIT A FOX, but for now here's my newest ficcy (this takes place after the 1st Dark Tournament, but before Sensui kinda like if Sensui was never there) …
BAD ASS GIRL
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Chapter 1 A New Case
~*~ Hiei ~*~
We were all in Koenma's office, again. This baby really thinks I have no life, but running aroung doing his errands, no matter how true that may be…
"I'm assuming you've all watched the video?" Koenma glanced around the room. Ah…the wonders of Koenma Productions, managed to make me fall asleep…
"Yeah, yeah," Yusuke said dryly, "On with it."
Koenma cast a dissaproving glance at Yusuke but continued, "There was quite a hole ripped in the barrier sometime last week. Something has escaped into the living world, but we don't know what. It was quite a powerful demon and the hole is quite large. Already there have been attacks on the humans."
Yusuke groaned, "We just got back from the whole tournament thing and now we have to deal with this?"
"Yes, normally I'd just get you to keep all the demons at bay while we repair the hole, but all the demon attacks have been directed at one human. A girl by the name of Hitomi." A picture of her was shown on the screen.
"Damn…" Yusuke said. Kuwabara silently agreed with a nod of his head.
"She is quite the looker," Koenma joked, "But we have no files on her, except her human life and school and stuff. That doesn't explain why these demon attacks have been aimed at her. There was an attack on her school just a week ago, and then there was one at her apartment building three days ago. It's defiently her, their target that is."
"That may be so," Kurama added, "but the hole is still priority correct? Closing the hole would stop the attacks, right?"
"Probably," Koenma said thoughtfully, "but repairing a hole that large would require time. Time that you four will buy for us."
"You plan this how…?" Yusuke asked motioning his hand in a 'continue on' fashion.
"You and Kuwabara will assist me in keeping the demons from crossing the barrier while we fix the hole. Kurama and Hiei will look after the girl. I have personally met the girl already," Koenma continued.
"You have?" Kurama raised an eyebrow. My eyebrow was also raised in question though I didn't voice it.
"Yes. She needs to know what's going on and deserves to know too. She's expecting to meet you two today." I don't want to babysit!
"Ok," Kurama said answering for the both of us. Damn if only I had said 'no'… "Where and when is she expecting us?" Always so pratical that stupid fox.
"Tonight at…" he glanced at the clock that hung above on the wall. The hands spun for a second before landing in a 5:22 position…either that or 5:23, stupid hand was right in between… "six, in the park by the tree." The picture of the park came to the screen along with the girl sitting on the bench with a book in hand. "She's early…Oh well. No problem. Kurama and Hiei, you guys are dismissed. Yusuke and Kuwabara, let's talk stragedy…"
I heard Yusuke mutter 'Oh boy' as Kurama and I exited the room. "Hey Hiei, you think you can handle protecting this girl on your own?"
"Hn?" I stopped to face him.
"Well, you see, my mom kinda has always wanted to see the United States and theres this big competition with science and stuff and its international and held in the U.S. so my mom and I were going to go and…"
"You're stuttering. I'll be okay by myself if that's what your asking."
"Thanks Hiei, I won't be able to meet the girl either. But promise me you'll try to get along. Talk a little and don't kill her. We're protecting her, ok? Remember that."
"Hn."
"Great. See you later?" Kurama asked leaving without an answer. As if I would give one anyway.
~*~*~*~*~*~
I walked slowly into the park. I was already a bit late and she was there since 5:22 or 5:23 maybe longer, not that I cared…
As I made my way there, I saw her sitting there reading the book in the dark. The light weren't on and yet she was reading. Were human eyes able to do that? She sensed my presence and looked up to see me standing there.
She acknoledged my presence and motioned for me to sit on the bench with her. I rolled my eyes, no way I was sitting there. She sighed, "You're the guard dog Koenma sent aren't you?"
I glared at her, "Who are you calling a 'dog'?"
She said dryly, "You. Koenma told me all about you. Said the short one had a sorry ass atitude and the tall one had a great one though what he considers great can't be all that great. I'll assume you're the shorter one?"
I nodded, glaring all the while. She smiled, a bit slyly, "Not many people come any shorter than you."
Her words hit home and my sword was at her neck in less than a second. I wanted to say something, but decided against it and used my sword as a silent threat.
She looked at me, "You can't kill me. If you do, who knows what will happen, eh? I've got better things to do than sit around for an hour so I'm going home. You follow me. Sheath your stupid sword and heel."
I narrowed my eyes. Who did this girl think she was? Strange thing was that she wasn't even scared a bit. Her aura was as calm as ever, impressive for any human. I sheathed my sword. I heard her mutter, "Stupid mutt." My hand instintively reached my sword again. Damn it Koenma, damn this all.
Clenching my fist I let go of the sword. I couldn't kill her. I was protecting her. Some protecting I'll do if she keeps throwing insults, protecting her grave…
She stood up. She wasn't much taller than I was, only an inch or so. I didn't feel remotely short compared to her. She was short herself… "By the way, Hiei," spitting out my name as if was the worst insult ever, "I'm Hitomi remember that."
Hitomi started to walk out of the park. I followed. Ah, the ever loyal dog. Damn. "Where's Kurami anyway?"
"Kurama," I corrected her instantaneously.
"Kurama, Kurami, same difference," she responded with a wave of her hand. "So…?"
"Science fair."
"What's your favorite color?"
"Black."
She turned a corner and looked back at me, "Technically black isn't a color." Who cares…? "But who cares? Black's mine too." Looks like no one cares.
"This is the building," Hitomi pointed up at the tall apartment building. "I live on the 6th floor. I'll show you where the stairs are…over there," she nodded her head in the direction of them. "Let's go."
I nodded and continued to follow her. This was going to be a hell of an assignment for me. Temptation to kill her so great…
"Hurry up," Hitomi was already at the top of the first flight of stairs. I didn't even see her go up. She watched as I started up, "Stop dragging your feet. That's so annoying," she flicked her head. Her hair seemed to glow catching the reflection of the moon that was already up.
Her apartment was clean and really, really black. The walls were all black and the curtains too. It was like walking into a dead person's house or something. A funeral maybe? Not that I objected, after all, black was my favorite 'color'.
"Welcome. It's not much, but it gets the job done. You can have my parents' room." She pointed at the door on the right. "But first, anything you want to eat?"
Why was she nice all of a sudden? "Anything."
She nodded, "Make yourself at home. Get comfortable," she sniffed at the air, "Take a shower. I'll call when I've got something we can eat." Nice…right…
