freckledgirl: It's my first fanfic! I guess I modeled some parts of what Mia looks like after myself, and some aspects of her personality too. Please please please review and message, it'd be really fab if you all could tell me what I could do to make it better and all that stuff. Now, onto the disclaimers!! (oh joy!)

DISCLAIMER: I don't own Yu Yu Hakusho or the characters in it, I know that I don't own it, you know that I don't own it, so please, no suing. : P

freckledgirl: Righty-o, onto the story.

readers: It's about time...

freckledgirl: Hey! Don't be mean... :'-(

"Shit!!!" Mia thought to herself. She rolled over in bed, smacked the life out of the poor abused alarm clock on her nightstand, which, at that moment, showed "5:45" in blinking red numbers. The fact that her first word that morning had been a profanity was because she had just remembered that she had a huge math test today.

A really huge math test.

As in, 10 of her grade huge.

And Mia hadn't cracked a book all weekend.

"What a great way to start the week" Mia thought, not just a little pissed off. Not only was it Monday, it was unreasonably early and already her day had taken a nasty little nosedive. Mia dragged herself out of bed and into the shower. And to make things worse, someone flushed the toilet while Mia was in the shower, making the water temperature plummet 20 degrees in 2 seconds flat. "Who the fuck uses the toilet at five frickin' fifty in the frickin' morning?!?" she thought angrily.

10 minutes later Mia went into her kitchen (well, more like fell/tumbled/cussed her way into the kitchen, she had fallen down the stairs when she went downstairs). After attempting to put a glass of orange juice in the toaster and a slice of toast in the fridge, Mia figured it out, blaming it on the fact that it was only 5 minutes past 6 in the morning.

She went upstairs, got dressed in a pair of worn-in blue jeans (A/N: I couldn't live without my jeans!), a black spaghetti-strap shirt (A/N: yeah, I'd get busted for dress code violation, but in my fanfic, no dress code! buahahah!), a jacket, hoop earrings, and Adidas (A/N: DISCLAIMER: I don't own that either). As she stood in front of her bathroom mirror brushing her teeth, she looked at her reflection and saw a petite, 5-foot-nothing, 15-year-old girl with green eyes, light brown, straight, medium-long hair with blonde highlights pulled up in a ponytail, freckles, and a stressed-out, slightly groggy expression.

By now it was 7:30, because Mia had fallen asleep while eating her breakfast and woken up a half hour later, not that she minded or anything, of course. (A/N: teehee...) She grabbed her backpack and made her way out her front door and down the street toward her school. It was the end of autumn, Mia's favorite kind of day, and she was accompanied by the delicious smell that always comes with autumn, a sort of crisp, cozy smell, and a lovely breeze that stirred the beautiful, colorful leaves on the sidewalk, causing them to swirl in the air around her.

Mia was so caught up in the beautiful day, which had had a reviving effect on her, that she didn't even notice the strange rustling noises that seemed to be following her. In fact, she didn't notice anything of the sort until she was vaguely aware of footsteps behind her, at which point she whirled around on her unwanted companion, only to have her jaw drop when she saw what exactly it was that was following her.

freckledgirl: Oooh, exciting, huh? That was a sorta short chapter, I know, but they'll be longer once I really get going. So STAY WITH ME!!!
