Hi everyone! I'm back! Gosh, I gotta get a new greeting, I always say the same thing. Oh, well, too bad. You guys or girls (yeah, I'm very feminist (sp) !) will just have to deal with it.
Disclaimer: I don't own Yu Yu Hakusho. I wish I did though...
HieiFan666: I like that you like it.
LonelyInDarkness: I'm sorry for not updating soon... I'll try to update sooner.
Disclaimer:(why again? sigh.) I don't own Yu Yu Hakusho. I don't think that's going to change in a chapter...
Dawn woke up to someone coming into her room. At first she thought it was Kurama, but then she looked closer and saw that it was actually her brother with red hair.
"Sup, Nate?" Dawn asked him. That was his nickname given to him by her. He sat down looking at her awkwardly.
"Nothin really, except that I have blood red hair." He said casually. He didn't really care about his hair. "So, what happened to your eyes? Where are your contacts? And please don't tell me you lost them again." He said. She had lost her contacts numerous times, and could not go to school until she found them.
"Oh, I just woke up. They're right... here?" She asked, kind of. She searched for them next to her bed, but they were gone. "Oh...my...god. What am I going to do? I can't go to school like this! I just got in school here, I can't be absent either!" She jumped out of bed and looked for them in the windowsill. She looked up and found out it was still sunset outside.
"Um... Dawn, you don't have to go to school yet. I'll help you look for them." He stated. He usually didn't help her sister do anything, but he noticed a certain sadness in her. He stood up and helped her look. They looked everywhere; under the bed, in her drawers, under the pillow, but could not seem to find them. There was a knock at the open door and both of them looked at the door where Hiei was standing. They stopped their search and sat on the bed at the same time. "Sup Hiei, what do you want?"Nathan asked Hiei who was now leaning against the now closed door.
"Hn. None of your concern." Hiei said. He didn't really like Nathan that much, sure he was better than Kuwabara, but he still didn't really like him. Nathan stared at him awkwardly and crossed his arms.
"If it's none of mine, then I'm guessing it's my sisters'. Is there something going on between you guys?" Nathan asked looking back and forth at both of them.
"NO! Eeeeew!" Dawn said. She didn't really want a seemingly cold-hearted guy for a boyfriend.
"With that baka?"Hiei asked smirking. He didn't really want a mate. Not now, not ever. He was the forbidden child, he could never have any feelings. He didn't deserve feelings; According to him.
"Ok then..."Nathan said, not sounding so convinced. He stood up and wiped invisible dust off himself.
"Well, I gotta go. Genkai's making me train again." He said leaving. "Oh, wait, one more question. Why is our hair red?" He asked both of them.
"Ask Genkai, she'll tell you." Dawn said, the only one to answer. Nathan rubbed his neck and got an uneasy look.
"Well, let's just say Genkai and I aren't very budy-budy right now." Nathan said chuckling. None of them were surprised at this, since it explained why Genkai was making him train so much.
"Hm... ask Botan then. She'll probably know."Dawn said. Hiei was just sitting down, thinking about what her diary said, especially because it was lying on her bed, where he was sitting.
"Uh, Botan? Oh-ok. I guess I'll just ask Botan. Yup, Botan. Just me and Botan. You know, me asking Botan" Nathan said. Dawn gave him a weird look. He usually said a girl's name so many times unless he liked her.
"Sorry, Bro, she's too old for you." Dawn said smiling. Botan had of course died a looooong time ago. Nathan got nervous.
"I-I never said that. Why would you think that? Are you sure? You know what, I'll...just...go...now...bye." Nathan said, leaving. Dawn turned to face Hiei, the smile off her face.
"What do you want?" She asked Hiei. He was staring at her diary for some reason.
"Hn. The ferry onna wants to talk to you." Hiei said, Dawn just rolled her eyes. Botan had talked to him as well as everyone else with a communication device, similar to a laptop. Dawn stood up from the bed and took the device Hiei was now holding.
"Hello Botan!" Dawn said, now smiling.
"Oh, hello, Dawn." Botan said smiling also. "Um, I need to talk to you...alone."Botan said. Hiei 'hn'd' and left instantly. "Well... I wanted to have a sleepover so that everyone can know each other better. See, I don't think Hiei will come unless you come because he has to protect you." She said. This got Dawn really mad.
"What do you mean protect me? I don't need protection. I can handle myself thank you very much. I don't need a guy to 'protect' me." Dawn said angrily. This made Botan very surprised, she had never seen Dawn angry, nor did she plan to ever again.
"Um, right, I knew that. So, will you come? It's at Yusuke's tomorrow. Oh, and can you bring your brother?" Botan asked. Dawn smiled and nodded. The screen went off and Dawn sighed.
"What did she want?" Came a recoginzable voice.
"Nothin Hiei, she just wanted us to come over to Yusuke's tomorrow. We have to go." Dawn lied. She only did that so Hiei would go. She had no idea why, but she really wanted him to.
"Hn. Fine, as long as it's not another mission." Hiei said. He hated having to be dragged along on missions. He was always either threatened or bribed to go, otherwise, he wouldn't.
"It's not. It's something else, I asked." Dawn said quickly.
"Hn. Good." Hiei said. He left the room and Dawn kept looking for her contacts. Hiei came back in with the contacts in his hand. Dawn smiled and ran up to him, but he disappeared and appeared behind her.
"Hiei, give me back my contacts." Dawn said, a certain coldness in her voice. She needed those contacts for school. She turned around and tried to snatch them again.
"Hn. No." Said Hiei. He didn't like for her to hide her eyes like that. 'She's probably ashamed of her eyes.' Hiei thought. 'not that I care...'
"Fine. I'll just buy new ones." Dawn said. "I have to go shopping for somethings, I'll be back." She added. She needed to buy those sleeping bags, and some junk food. She also needed a new outfit, hers was getting old.
"With what money?" asked Hiei smirking. She stopped and turned around. She had forgotten that to buy things you needed money.
"Um...I'll ask Tyra to come with me. She probably has some." Dawn said. She left, in the direction of Kurama and Tyra's house. She got there thirty minutes later. She would have gotten there later if she hadn't been running. She gasped for air, and knocked on their door. Kurama opened the door, expecting to see Hiei.
"Hello Dawn, what brings you here?" Kurama asked, smiling politely.
"Need...Tyra...now."Dawn said, catching her breath. Kurama invited her inside, where almost everything was burned. The wooden furniture, such as the table was dark, as if it had been burned. There were ashes all over the hardwood floor, which in some places, was also burned. "Whoa! What happened here?" Dawn asked Kurama, who now had a broom and a duster with him.
"Well, every time Tyra got mad, whatever she was near would burst into flames. Fortunately, we have a fire extingusher." Kurama said, recalling what had happened just minutes ago.
"ok. Well, where is she now?" Dawn asked Kurama, who was busy dusting the ashes off the sofa.
"Upstairs in her room." Kurama answered. Dawn left upstairs and entered a red, orange, and yellow door that was also partly burned. This had to be Tyra's room. Her favorite colors were red, orange, and yellow (the colors of fire). Dawn knocked on the door hoping Tyra would open it.
"What do you want?" Came a cold voice from inside, who could only be Tyra. Dawn recognized her voice and replied her question.
"It's me Dawn, and I was wondering if you'd like to come shopping with me. I need a new outfit, and by the ashes everywhere, I 'm guessing you do also." Dawn said, hoping she'd come.
"I'm coming."came the answer, not so cold anymore. Tyra was already at the door when she said coming. She slowly opened the door and made sure it was Dawn, not Kurama. She grabbed her purse and stepped out. They left down the stairs and into an emerald green mustang.
"Do you even have a license?" Dawn asked Tyra. She knew Tyra was at least 16 years old, so she must have at least a permit.
"No." Tyra admitted. She had not bothered to take Drivers Ed. classes. She drove whenever she wanted to, not whenever other people made her. "This isn't even my car, it's the fox's car."
"Ok. Do you have any money you could let me borrow?"asked Dawn. Tyra looked at her and pulled out a hundred dollar bill. Dawn gasped and pocketed the money. "Thanks."
"Sure." Tyra said, her voice wasn't cold anymore, but almost friendly. Dawn noticed this and smiled. They got to the mall quickly, and stepped out of the car. Thirty minutes later, they already had everyone's sleeping bags, Hiei's was black, Dawn's was black also, Tyra's was blood-red, and Kurama's was green.
"Now, to look for our outfits."Dawn said happily. She loaded her shopping cart with black jeans and black T-shirts. Tyra's was full of red, orange, and yellow.
"Don't you ever wear anything with colors in it?" Tyra asked Dawn. 'Perhaps this girl is gothic.' Tyra thought.
"Well, no. I don't know why, I'm just used to black." Dawn said shyly. She knew Tyra was right and she should wear colors, but she was just used to wearing black. She picked up another outfit,(black) and went into the changing room. Tyra didn't bother to go into the changing rooms, she just picked out three of all of the ones she already had. One was red, the next orange, and the last yellow. She put the rest into the unwanted rack and sat down to wait for Dawn. Dawn was done after about five minutes and came out with only two outfits. Both were black jeans and T-shirts. They were almost identical and looked like the one she was wearing now.
"Dawn", Tyra said.
"Yeah?" Dawn said, now sitting next to Tyra.
"Choose outfits that you don't already have. Here, I'll help you choose a red one. " Tyra said. She walked over to the unwanted rack where she had left all of her other outfits and picked out a red mini skirt with a matching red jacket. Dawn's eyes opened wide.
"There is no way I'm wearing that!" She said in horror. Sure sometimes she acted like a girly-girl, but she sure didn't dress like one. Tyra on the other hand, didn't act like a girly-girl, but she did sometimes dress like one.
"Oh, come on Dawn. Just once, by the way, I'm the one who's paying for it so you should at least wear it. I know Hiei would approve of it..."Tyra said. She thought Dawn liked Hiei and that they would sure be a nice match. Dawn opened her eyes in more horror.
" No, way is Hiei going to see me in that. By the way, I don't even care if he approves of it or not, it's not like I like him..." Dawn said. The last part trailed off and didn't sound so sure. Tyra ignored her and they ended up buying the outfit anyways. They were in the car, not saying anything to each other until Dawn broke the silence. "Hey Tyra, what happpened in Genkai's temple?" Dawn asked Tyra. She looked over at Tyra and saw her hands grip the steering wheel tighter.
Tyra sighed but decided to answer. "I-I saw my parents... My real parents...Get murdered. I don't know how I saw this, I don't even remember it, but it was through the eyes of someone else. They were talking to me. I don't know this person, but they kept saying things like, 'do you want to see your mom and dad?'. I was looking through the eyes of my killer. I heard him laugh, he knew I was watching and he laughed at me. My parents were trying to stop him, but they couldn't. I saw my mom go down first, her face was white and there was a blade through her stomach that attached her to the ground. My father was at her side, and he was killed, grieving for my mother. It was as if I killed them. I don't know where I was at the moment, but I was around thirteen years old when they were killed. I remember the police coming to my house and I was at home too, they told me my parents died, so I ran away, and then after a while they found me and I was taken to an orphanage. You know, they never found any evidence. The worst part is, they even had me as a suspect." By the time she finished, she was crying. She sniffed and wiped her face. "I'm sorry, I should've never told you." Tyra said.
"That's ok. I saw my uncle die. I was actually there though. My mom died also, when I was twelve." Dawn said. Tyra smiled.
"It must've been harder for you huh?" Tyra asked. She realized something. "How old are you Dawn?" She asked.
"Sixteen." Dawn said, wondering why in the world this girl cared about that.
"Ok. I'm one year older than you then. Can I ask you something?" Tyra said quickly.
" Sure." Dawn replied.
"When did your mother die?" Tyra asked. Dawn suddenly had a sad look in her eyes.
"December thirteenth of 2001." Dawn replied softly. Tyra gasped.
"So did mine. I bet these murders are connected. I mean... we have to tell Koenma. Whoever was after our parents could be after us also." Tyra said.
Ok. Gotta stop there. This chapter took a while to type. I was just really busy, but I know I shouldn't make excuses. I have all week this spring break so I can update faster. I need at least... four more reviews for me to update the next chapter.
