iI OWN SHOTOYAMI!! ME AND ME ALONE....PLEASE DON'T STEAL HER.

Rain...Pain...Fear...Hatred

it was christmas eve and Shotoyami was out on one of her evening walks. piles of snow surrounded the sidewalks as snowplowers finished did their job. all the girl wore was a purple New York shirt, blue jeans and a leather jacket.

"God i hate Christmas," she murmured as she flipped the collar of the jacket over her neck. this season of cheering and caring and love brought back memories of pain....hatred....fear. she shoke the feelings off and tried to remain in the present. She looked up into the sky. rain clouds had appeared and seem to grow darker by the minute.

Shotoyami was known as the 'outkast'(ANi love outkasts songs!!sigs 'HEY YA!' don't ask me how this fits into the story.) at her school. she had only three close friends and even with them she didn't feel a hundred percent safe. she was 15 and has long curly black hair that fell lightly at her coco cola shaped hips. her lips were a rose color as her hazel brown eyes scanned her scenery. her carmel-like skin was starting to get goosebumps from the cold.

she stopped at a red stop sign, looked both ways, then crossed the street. she walked slowly deep in thought....

it started to rain. her hair started to stick to her face as steam escaped her mouth in clouds of smoke.

she stopped in front of a Shell gas station and went. at the front desk was a young boy or 17 or 18. he saw Shotoyami walk through the door and went to greet her with open arms and puckered lips.

"Touch me and you die," she whispered. the boy backed up and returned to his counter. "Myo Kyote," she growled.

Myo Kyote was known as the 'hottie' of the school as the girls worshipped him. he had blond hair that went to his ears. his left ear was pierced and his eys were crystal blue. he haad a finely toned body that made girls squel and swoone in excitement and his voice (to the cheerleaders) songs like wind chimes(AN::GAGS::).

He liked Shotoyami...alot! he wanted her. he glanced back at the entrance where the girl stood. she was rubbing her hands together to warm up and squinting her eyes due to the brightness of the light.

Unaware of his gaze and i roamingi0 eyes, she glanced into the corner by the fruits and grain section. there, stood a boy who smelt of flowers. rose flowers to be exact. she took in a deep breath. she loved roses. they were her favorite flowers.

He had long red hair that fell to his back and his eyes...oh his eyes...they left her in a trance. something about them was trusting yet betraying at the same time. they were a shade of emerald green.

Behind him was a boy wearing all green. he had his had in his pockets while speaking to the red head. Shotoyami's eye twitched at the amount of gel plastered on his hair. his eyes were brown was was filled with...stupidity?

'Gelboy' sensed somebody watching them. he looked over his left shoulder and spotted the girl at the entrance. at that moment when there eyes meet the girl turned her head as if she were lost or searching for something. he shrugged his shoulders and continued his conversation.

'God,' thought Shotoyami. 'he saw me. he actually noticed me!.....like it matters (sighs). men are animals. they don't respect females.' she glanced at Myo whose eyes seem to be examing every inch of her as a lion searches a herd of zebras before making the killing strike. his eyes suddenly stooped and starred at her chest. he grinned wickedly.

Shotoyami was confused. 'what the hell is he starring at?' it finally hit he like a hurricane. she looked down at her chest. her shirt was completely soaked! it was sticking to her breasts and forming every curve for perverted guys to daydream.

she glarred at him straight in the eyes. "Pervert," she growled as she stuck her middle finger up at him and sat near the window in the cafe. she took off her leather jacket and place it on the chair across from her. she then took out a small book from her pocket and placed on the table. as she looked at the book she seemed to calm down. she opened to the page she had previously marked with a 'Touch me and you WILL DIE!' book mark and continued to read. "Duchess is the best book to calm ones nerves," she sighed.

'Gelboy' saw the whole thing. he was smiling from ear to ear. the red head just looked at him then looked at what was so interesting to his companion. he saw a girl sitting by the window reading. she seemed quite interested in it. "Yuske," he said, "are you okay."

Yuske looked at him and then burst out laughing. the girls ear twitched at the noise but didn't budge from her book. "I am fine Kurama." he then paused to catch some air. "you see that babe over there?" Kurama nodded. "Well, she just told that cashier guy to fuck off!"

"Interesting," Kurama said as he placed two oranges in the basket.

"interesting? Man Kurama! she's like a total babe." Kurama said nothing and placed two mangoes, three peaches and three bananas into the basket. Yuske looked at him dumbly. "Well if you won't ask her out..i will!" Yuske walked over to the cafe and stood over the girl. peering over to see what she was reading. 'Ugh,' he thought. 'romance crap.' he tapped the girl on the shoulder.

Shotoyami, unaware of what loomed over her was lost in the book of 'Duchess'. Presently, she was at the part when Duchess and Rowdy, a texan, were horseback riding when she felt the continued tapping on her left shoulder.

she sighed, placed the bookmark into the book and placed it closed on the table. she closed her eyes trying to controll her rage. (ANWARNING!! DO NOT, I REPEAT DO NOT DISTURB A GIRL READING A ROMANCE NOVEL!) 'Doesn't that bastard know when to give up?' she kept her eyes closed as she heard the figure shift anxiously waiting for her to speak. "I told you Myo to FUCK OFF! do you need a better message?! don't let me have to rip off the only thing that allows you to have kids and stomp it in the ground."

Yuske grinned so much he thought he was going to explode. "Hey," he said coolly.

Shotoyami's eyes shot wide oped. 'that is not Myo's voice.' she slowly turned her head around slowly to see none other than 'Gelboy' standing there. she hastily stood up and bowed. "I-I am sooooo sorry," she apoligized. "i had no idea that it was i you i was talking to."

"No prob'," he smirked. 'Wow,' thought Yuske examining her. 'what a babe. what a temper.'

Shotoyami glarred across to the register at Myo. He wasn't paying attention. he was too busy flirtting with teo 14 year olds who had on way too much make up.

"Name's, Urameshi," he said shaking her hand and bringing her back to the real world. "Yuske Urameshi."

Shotoyami glarred at him as well that sent shivers up the boy's spine. she returned the handshake with a firm grasp. "Hywein...Shotoyami Hywein."

Yuske was impressed by the stregnth of the girl. he released her hand and asked her a question. "Hey wanna go on a date?"

Shotoyami's eyes hardened. 'Who does this guy think he is. comin' out of the blue and asking me on a date?' "Look boy," she began.

"Boy?" Yuske's eye twitched.

"i don't need some punk coming out of the blue and asking me out on a date. i have enough promblems as it is and i don't need any male in my life to make it worse. you got that, GELBOY?!!!!" Yuske was speechless. his eyes were filled of anger. it was as if she lit a candle deep down that sent him a flame.

Shotoyami looked outside. it had stopped raining. she quietly placed her jacket on, grabbed her booked and left the ever so angry Yuske.

Finally coming to reality Yuske growled. "Why that son of a b-"

"Yuske," came Kurama's voice. he looked at Yuske. his fists were clenched and he was grinding his teeth. "she dumped you."

"like hell she did," he growled.

Kurama smiled. "reminds me of Keiko."

"HA!" Yuske snorted. "Keiko is just scary but this girl is....different."

Kurama paid for his goods and they both left. the streetlights were now on and druncken men roamed the streets. Yuske thought of Shotoyami.

"i'll see you later Kurama," Yuske yelled as he ran in the direction Shotoyami went.

"Later!" called Kurama but it was too late. Yuske had already disappeared into the darkness known as night.
