This tale takes place before any of Yusuke's adventures. Therefore, Yusuke and Keiko are not really a couple yet, but they do like eachother a lot, and the events between Kurama and Maya have not taken place yet. I tweaked things a bit though, so I could have Hiei in it.Those of you chronilogically correct- deal. Oh and by the way, both Yosei and Kaizoku go to school with Shuuichi and Maya, but Kaizoku makes her friends at other schools. She's sort of a wanderer, I guess.

GEMINI Love Crazy Button

Yosei Koredake laughed when she got up at nine o'clock. School had started over an hour ago, and here she was in her pajamas! The very last day of school. Senior Skip Day. Yosei and her twin sister Kaizoku were seniors, so they could do whatever they wanted today as long as they showed up for graduation on Saturday. So today they were free angels- and Yosei had an idea of what she would do.
Kaizoku snarled and kicked her sister. "Shut up! No laughing until noon!"
"I'll laugh if I want to today- and I'll fly as well!" said Yosei cheerily. She rolled her legs over the edge of the bed and stood, bouncing a little on the balls of her feet. She giggled and ran for the closet across the room she shared with her sister. "What oh WHAT shall I wear today?" she sang.
Kaizoku yanked the covers up over her head. "Please shut up..." Her voice was muffled through the comforter.
Yosei laughed and ran over, stripping the covers off the bed. "Get up! Today's our last chance, you know. Don't you want to see Urameshi?"
"Not really!" Kaizoku hissed, jumping up and going over to the closet. She pulled out a black shirt with a pirate skull on the back, which also said "Drink Up, Me Hearties" on the front, and a pair of worn-out dark denim shorts, then hurriedly got dressed. "I don't care about Urameshi and you know it." she spat as she stormed out of the room to who knows where.
Yosei blinked and stared after her sister. Oh well... Yosei knew how she would be spending her own day... and it wouldn't involve her sister, either! Her mission today was to prove that she wasn't just a shy, frightened teacher's pet! She would prove that she had just as much guts and heart as anyone else... by doing the annual drive-by flash.
Yes, that's right. She was going to get in a car with three other girls and drive by the school with her shirt up over her head. She might get expelled, but this was the last chance she had at proving herself, no matter what anybody said. She knew that a lot of her friends would disapprove, especially Maya, but she had to. She didn't know why, but she just HAD to.
Yosei looked through the closet, trying to decide what to wear. Her side of the closet was filled with color, whereas her sister's was mostly filled with browns, blacks and greens, as well as denim. Yosei picked out a khaki miniskirt and a form-fitting pink T-shirt with a red heart with a white arrow going through it on the front. She wouldn't normally wear something like this, but... you know. She smiled and hurried out of the house before either of her father could see her.

Maya glanced at her watch, her brow knit in worry. What was Yosei doing? They were supposed to meet here so they could go to the mall. Afterwards, they were going straight to the beach to tan. Maya and Yosei were great friends, so to sweeten Maya's day, Yosei had asked Shuuichi Minamino to come along. And the strangest thing was he was going to! Why would he come with them to the beach when Yosei asked, but never go with any other girl? It didn't really make any sense, but Maya was so happy, she didn't really care.
All of a sudden, Yosei came running up in a pink shirt and khaki miniskirt. Maya's head felt light. She ran over to Yosei and put her jacket over the girl's shoulders. "WHAT are you THINKING! How could your parents let you go out in THAT!" she hissed.
Yosei laughed. "Ask me what I'm doing today. Come on, ask!"
"Do I want to know?"
"Just ask! Sheez!" Yosei rolled her eyes.
Maya sighed longsufferingly. "Alright... And what will you be doing today, Yosei Koredake?"
The red-headed youth grinned. "I am going to participate in the drive-by flash!"
"WHAT!" Maya screeched. "NO! YOU CAN'T!"
"I'm going to!"
"No, you're not! I'd sooner lock you in a closet!"
"There's nothing you can say or do that will stop me."
Maya looked at the ground, gasping in sudden realization. "What will Shuuichi think?"
Yosei blinked. "Shuuichi? Why would he care?"
"He's only coming because YOU asked him. What if he likes you, and not me?"
"No. He's probably coming with us because YOU're coming. Not necessarily because I asked."
The brunette looked up with tears in her eyes. "What if he doesn't like me?"
Yosei bit her lip. "We'll worry about that later. Let's go to the mall, okay?" she said sweetly, giving her friend a quick hug.

Kurama sighed as he finished up his Geometry homework. "I like Maya." he said to the little man in black sitting on the windowsill. "But of course I can't tell her that. When you're in a relationship like that, it's so hard to keep secrets- even for me. Could Maya love a demon? I'm doubtful."
The dark-haired man looked to his left, out the window to the sky. "Now you may understand more why I distance myself from females."
The fox sighed. "But that's not all. Maya's friend Yosei asked me to go to the beach with her and Maya today. I said yes."
"Why?" Hiei asked with out looking at Kurama.
The fox opened a drawer in his desk and pulled out a few papers, then laid them on his desktop and began to write. "Yosei is a reincarnated demon."
The Imiko's brow furrowed. "How is that possible? She's a human, right?"
"She is. A demon that reincarnates as a human is very rare, but it does happen. Usually the human is unaware of their situation. That's how it is with Yosei. In cases like this, the person sometimes discovers what they are and their powers manifest. Sometimes they don't. When their abilities manifest, they can cause mass destruction and possibly kill themselves. Usually something traumatic causes them to realize their power, such as extreme versions of love, sadness, or anger. When they discover themselves that way, it can have dangerous results. My theory is that I can induce her capabilities' materialization."
Hiei chuckled. "You've given this a lot of thought..."
"I have. She's Maya's friend, and if I can trigger her powers early, I can save her- and possibly Maya- a lot of trouble. Maybe I could be saving their lives."
"But you can't be sure, so why waste your time?"
"Caution."
"You worry too much."
Kurama swiveled his chair around to face the Imiko. "No- I worry just the right amount."
Hiei shrugged. "Whatever. Good luck on your date." With that, the Imiko was gone.
The fox groaned in exasperation and swiveled back around to bang his head down on his desk.

Kaizoku turned page one hundred fifty three in The Phantom of the Opera, eyes trained on the small words, eyelids at half-mast. She was wearing her glasses. She never wore them in front of anyone she knew, but she really needed them to read. She was sitting at a table in between two very large book shelves in the public library. This was the one place she could depend on for privacy. No one would guess she spent up to four hours a day in here reading and studying. Especially the gangsters that tended to bother her... Usually she would fight them, but it got tiring after so long. Not one of them would set foot in here.
"Hey, skull chick."
Kaizoku bit her tongue and looked up. Lo and behold, there sat Yusuke Urameshi right across from her. "And to what do I owe the displeasure, Urameshi?" she said, trying to keep her voice tone-free as she looked back to her book.
He leaned the chair back and put his feet up on the table, crossing his ankles. "Who would've thought a girl like you would hang out here?"
"A girl like me?"
He crossed his arms behind his head. "You don't strike me as the smart type."
"Thank you, Urameshi. Now if you don't mind, I'd like to finish this book before I have to go collect my sister, so..."
"Am I bothering you?"
Kaizoku looked up again to find Yusuke had a serious expression on his face. To her great surprise, she blushed. "You don't have to be..."
He looked at her, as if considering. "So you like to read?"
The red-head gave a small, forced smile. "Yes, I do."
"Like classics?"
"Yes."
He chuckled. "So you're a smart girl and a tough girl at the same time..."
"I prefer to keep my brains out of my biceps."
"I guess you'll be getting a scholarship to some prestigious college then, huh?"
"I need to. I don't think my father can afford to pay for it, since mother-" she stopped short, looking down at her book, her eyes squeezed shut. "Dammit..." she muttered.
Yusuke raised an eyebrow. "Hm?"
She opened her eyes again and looked at him. "I don't want your sympathy. You must understand that first of all. My mother died four months ago."
He blinked. "Oh. Huh. I never would have thought that..."
Kaizoku looked at her book, returning to her calm state of being. Why had she told him that? He didn't need to know about her mother!
"Why do you like to fight?" Yusuke asked bluntly.
"I protect myself..."
The chocolate-eyed boy laughed. "Alright. Well, I hope I haven't been too irritating. I'll see you some other time. I'll be real pissed if Keiko sees me in here." He stood and walked out, leaving Kaizoku staring at the door he went through. After- five? ten?- minutes, she looked back to her book and began to read again, rubbing her left arm. Why was it sore?
