The day has come when Shuuichi gives up trying to be perfect, and Youko goes on a killing spree. And the only one who can stop him is... not who you'd expect. Chapter SEVEN Posted! Rated for future content.

1. It Begins

Disclaimer:  I do not own Yu Yu Hakusho, or any of its characters, blah blah blah… you should know this from my other fic!  Anyways…

A/N:  This fic was conceptualized like, a month ago, even before my other story; but with James (The Undeniably Evil But Kinda Cute Puppet), Pierce's muse, being over, I've been inspired to write more on that than on Fast Food Fiasco… So yeah, here it starts.

Chapter One:  It Begins.

     They say that still water runs deep.  Well, the emotions and frustrations of Shuuichi Minamono ran especially far down.  On the outside, he was the perfect son, the perfect student, an ideal young man.  But inside, the part of him that was conscious of who he was, Youko, was merely waiting for his chance to break out and destroy everything in his path.

~~~~~*~~~~~*~~~~~*~~~~~

     When it began, it was a day like any other.  Shuuichi got up on time, kissed his mother goodbye, and went off to school.  He always got good grades.  Even if it meant long nights of making up homework after missed classes while he was off with the Spirit Detective, Yuusuke Urameshi.  The schoolwork was relatively easy for Shuuichi, and it made his mother happy when he got good marks.

     But each day was just going through the motions.  And this day was no different; except Shuuichi felt it more acutely than ever.  Something was off.  Nothing seemed to be worth doing today. 

    "After all, it is all a lie…" he thought to himself as he made his way home from another long day at school.  Shuuichi sighed.  He stopped at a small park to collect his thoughts before returning home.  The gardens in this park always seemed to settle his spirit when he was upset.

     Today, however, they seemed only to serve as a reminder of what he was, and fuel his unrest.

A/N:  I know, I know… "But Draith, you didn't get to the point of the story!"  Yeah, yeah, that's what CHAPTERS are for.  And vague is fun!  ^__~  I'm still working on finishing my other fic, so give me a break, greedy monkeys!!  Yeah, I wouldn't be posting this yet, except James kept giving me more ideas, and I couldn't take his pestilence anymore.  * sigh *  Yeah, so, Please Read and Review, and hey, give me ideas if you want.   Oh, and did I spell his name right?!   Ja ne!
