Thank you all for the reviews I'm glad to know that people are reading this story and are enjoying it! And for this chapter Auree becomes a cheerleader (if you didn't guess by the title) and if cheerleading stuff isn't right sorry, but none of my friends have ever been a cheerleader (and some will never be one)

Disclaimer: don't own any of the characters, Auree and all other made-up characters are my friends.

The Demon cheerleader

"Where could they be?" Kuwabara must have searched every dark corner and alleyway in the city, but still couldn't find his friends.

"Well, at least this is better than being with Auree or Urameshi," he walked into a coffee shop to get something to drink. Just as he was ordering he heard a voice from the far corner.

"Kuwabara! Over here!" he turned and saw his group of friends sitting at a corner booth.

"Hey guys!"

He grabbed his soda and dropped some money on the counter before walking over to his friends.

"Where have you been?" he said as he sat down by them.

"We were going to see the cheerleader tryouts," said one, "but they weren't going to start until later."

"Cheerleader tryouts were today?" Kuwabara smiled, "Don't go without me!"

"What's a cheerleader supposed to be?" Auree glared at the sign in front of the school gymnasium.

"A brat who wears a miniskirt and does flips and cheers on sports teams." said Keiko smugly, "Why do you ask?"

Auree pointed at the sign.

CHEERLEADER TRYOUTS TODAY

"Let's go watch!" said Yusuke, grabbing Keiko's arm and pulling her inside the gym, "Come on, Auree!"

She stepped inside. It was packed with girls all hoping for a shot on the squad. They practiced back flips and somersaults and all sorts of gymnastics.

"Hmm." She watched them thoughtfully; "They are doing most of the easy stuff."

"Easy!" Yusuke stared at her, "You call doing several back-flips and one-handed cart wheels easy!"

"Yeah," Auree continued to watch, "I know a lot of gymnastics for some reason."

The girl's began to walk off the floor and everyone got quiet.

"It's starting!" said Yusuke, "We'd better go sit down."

They climbed up to the highest row of bleachers and took their seats. A short girl with long black hair walked to the center of the gym. She shouted a cheer and did a back flip. Ever one applauded and she walked off to the side.

"That's it?" said Auree, sounding very unimpressed, "They yell out some rhymes and so one lousy back flip? That's dumb."

Several more girls tried out. It was pretty similar to before.

"What a rip-off," Auree got up during a particularly dumb cheer, "I'm going to the bathroom."

"Here. Let me help you!" Yusuke kicked the back of her knee. It buckled and she fell forward down the bleachers.

"AAAAAHH!" Thud! She hit the first bleacher and somersaulted down. Thud! Thud! Thud! She fell head over heels down all twenty steps and somersaulted onto the mat where the tryouts were held, to stop herself, she put down her hands and did a half-twist back flip. By this time, the whole gym was watching her. When she landed on hr feet she made a rude gesture at Yusuke.

"You're gonna pay for that!" she stalked off towards the bathrooms.

Everyone was silent for a moment. Suddenly, one of the judges grabbed a microphone.

"Does anyone know that brunette girl that just somersaulted down the bleachers?"

"I do!" yelled Keiko, "Her name is Auree!"

"Auree." The judge turned and whispered something to his neighbor. He nodded and said, "Let the tryouts continue."

When Auree got back from the bathroom, Yusuke had already hidden in a locker room.

"Are they almost done?" she whined, "I want to actually do something worthwhile."

"They just need to announce the new cheerleaders," Keiko pointed as the judges compared scores. One took a microphone and congratulated all the cheerleaders on what a great job they did, Auree snorted. The judge then read four names of girls they didn't know.

"And last but certainly not least…" the judge smiled, "Auree!"

"WHAT!" Auree yelled amid cheers, "I didn't even tryout!"

"Of course you did!" the other judges nodded, "Your performance was spectacular!"

"Huh?"

"The back flip and somersaulting." Said Keiko.

"All cheerleaders please stay for practice afterwards!" called a girl in a cheerleading uniform.

"But I…" Auree began, but Keiko pulled her along to get her uniform.

"You? A cheerleader?" Yusuke gaped at Auree in her new uniform. He laughed.

"This should be interesting."

"Shut up!" Auree spat at him, "I wouldn't even be in this mess if you hadn't kicked me down the bleachers!"

"A cheerleader, huh?" Kurama and Hiei had appeared, "You getting in touch with your social therapist?"

"I don't need a social therapist." Auree grumbled.

"Come on…um…Airy! Practice is going to start!" a girl called.

"It's Auree!" Auree yelled as she stomped toward them.

"Maybe she'll fit in," said Keiko hopefully.

"I doubt it," Yusuke smirked.

"Dang! We missed the tryouts," said one of Kuwabara's friends as they walked into the gym.

"But not the practice," pointed out Kuwabara, "Come on! Let's watch!"

They took their seats just as the girls started a cheer.

"Gimme a B!" yelled a girl at the front.

"B!"

"Gimme an E!"

"E!"

"Gimme an A!"

"A!"

"Gimme a T!"

"T!"

"Beat 'em! Bust 'em! That's our custom! C'mon boys let's re-adjust them! Go team! GO!"

They stopped frozen in place as though waiting for something. The front girl glanced behind her. They stood a little while longer. The girl glanced behind herself again.

"Auree!" she hissed, "That's your cue!"

"Oh! It is!" said the girl behind her.

"Yes! Now her your butt out there!"

"Okay! Jeez!" the girl front flipped out in front of the leader, did a half twist and landed on her knees. Only then did Kuwabara see her face. He gaped.

"Who's the cute new cheerleader?" asked one of his friends.

"Cute! You think she's cute! She's the ugliest, nastiest, snottiest little brat to ever walk the earth!"

"You know her?"

"Know her? I work with her!"

"What are you doing here Kuwabara?"

"Auree!" Kuwabara jumped, "Don't sneak up on me!"

"Oh sorry," she rolled her eyes.

"Uh… you didn't happen to hear what I said earlier, did you?"

"Only the whole cheerleading squad heard you," she said.

"Oh," he scooted away from her, "I don't suppose an apology would make up for that, would it?"

Auree narrowed her eyes, "Here's my answer."

WHAM! Kuwabara slip the length of the bleacher and fell off the end with a dull thud.

"Cute and she can kick butt!" said one of his friends, "I like her!"

"Ow." Kuwabara stood up, rubbing his jaw.

"Are these your fiends, Kuwabara?" Auree asked.

"Yes, we are!" one jumped up and introduced himself. The others followed suit.

"Wow! Real gentlemen," said Auree with a smile," It's nice to meet you."

"Auree! Get over here!" said the head cheerleader, "This isn't social hour, you know!"

Auree rolled her eyes, and with a final wave, walked back over to the squad.

One of the boys whistled, "She is hot!"

"You can say that again!"

"I don't believe you guys!" Kuwabara fumed as he walked back over to them, "Her? Hot? You're crazy!"

"Actually," said one of them, "You and she are very much alike."

"Alike?" Kuwabara raised his eyebrows.

"Yeah," his friend smiled, "You both like to kick the crap out of other people, you both have pretty short tempers, and are socially challenged."

"What?"

"Forget it."

"He's right," said another one of his friends, "You two could make a good couple."

"EXCUSE ME!" Kuwabara glared at him.

"I mean…um…no…You're too good for her!" he gave a nervous little laugh.

"That's what I thought."

"But I'm free," muttered the friend.

Back in the girl's locker room, Auree was getting dressed in her old clothes. The other girls were gossiping.

"And she thinks she's good enough for him! Oh my God that is like so dumb! John is so going to ask me out!"

"Who's John?" Auree turned around.

The girl gasped, "You don't know John?"

"Uh…no."

All the other girls stared at her like she was crazy.

"What?"

"John is only like the hottest guy in the world!" The head cheerleader said, "Every girl knows him."

Auree smirked, "Except me."

"What's so funny about that?" the girl said, putting her hands on her hips.

"Oh. It's just that you say this guy is the hottest guy in the world, but I haven't even seen him."

"So?"

"So he can't be all that hot because…" Auree paused. She had been going to say 'because he's not demon' but caught herself.

"Because what?"

"Oh. Nothing."

"All right Miss Cocky," the girl stood up and glared at Auree, "Let's get one thing straight. John is mine, and you can't have him."

"Don't worry. I don't want you little John. He's not worth y time anyway."

"Are you saying he's not hot?"

"Yes," Auree stared pulling on her shirt, "Is there a problem with that?"

"Yes!" the girl seemed very insulted, "You're saying I have bad taste!"

"I didn't say anything like that!"

"Brat!" she stuck her nose in the air and stalked away.

"And they think I'm temperamental." Auree grabbed her uniform and walked out.

"Well, this is your home for now," Said Yusuke as they stood in front of Keiko's house.

"Why Keiko's house?" asked Auree.

"Well," Yusuke looked slightly uncomfortable, "If Kuwabara or I bring you home…um…Let's just say our mothers will get the wrong idea."

Kurama's mouth twitched, as though he were trying not to smile. He was remembering his own mother.

"Well, okay," Auree glanced at Keiko, "Is this okay?"

"Don't worry. You'll be fine," Keiko pushed her inside. "Bye guys! See you at school tomorrow!"

"You wish," muttered Yusuke.

"Come Kurama," said Hiei, "It's getting late."

"Man! What a day!" Kuwabara stretched.

"Yeah," said Yusuke, "And I bet tomorrow's gonna be better." He had no idea how right he was.
