Her Origin

Disclaimer: I do not own Yuyu Hakusho, but I do own Nick, Norena, and all the teachers.

I also dedicate Norena to Kanitai/Lia who is in love with chocolate. My best friend.

Coping with boys, school, and boys

Nick walked through the halls of her high school. She hated it, but she soon got used to it. She was actually looking for her best friend, Norena. Norena had been her friend since she got to the foster home. They were both foster children and they looked after each other like sisters. Nick still couldn't find her. As Nick wondered around, she bumped into someone and fell down. She looked up and saw brown eyes in return. Great! Now he's here! Nick thought to herself. She was looking into the eyes of Yusuke Urameshi and she couldn't stand it. Yusuke looked at her and snorted. He then stood up, picked up his backpack and walked away stepping on Nick's fingers.

"You…" she was cut off from her over obsessive cursing by Norena.

"Hey now, we talked about that tongue of yours." Norena said.

"Sorry, it's just, Yusuke Urameshi is such a..." Norena finished her sentence.

"Butthead!" Norena exclaimed.

"I was looking for something a little more, but that'll work." Nick said as she stood up and grabbed all of her stuff. Her art binder fell out of her backpack and all the pictures came out. A boy with long red hair decided to help her out.

"Shuichi, you really don't have to." Nick said.

"No I insist. Yusuke was just being mean." Kurama said as he helped her pick up her art binder and all of the pictures. He looked at one picture's that was of Yusuke shirtless. Kurama smiled and handed her the picture. She blushed and put into her binder quickly without bending it.

"I see you like Yusuke." Kurama said to her while looking into her eyes.

"No, just…I like his smile, that's all." Nick said.

"If you say so." Kurama said as he walked away.

"You know good darn well you like him." Norena said.

"I-I know it's just so hard to admit it, and I'm just afraid to get close to someone. After what happened to my brother, I vowed to never let that happen to me." Nick said looking down.

"I know sweetie, but you have to learn to let go of your past." Norena said.

"I can't. Knowing that my brother died for nothing, because of some heartless bastard, I can't just let go." Nick exclaimed as they walked to their next class, science.

"Now Students, I will pair you up with a person. I don't care if you hate them, they will be your partner for the remainder of the year. Now let's get to it. Shuichi Minamino and Norena Alavardes. Kazuma Kuwabara and Jaresha Towns. Keiko Ukimura and …Daniel Hartford." He went all the way down the row till the last two people, "Nick Andrews and Yusuke Urameshi. That's it no buts, get to work!" The teacher exclaimed.

Keiko then walked up to the teacher's desk. "Mr. Thoeana, Yusuke and I must work together. Yusuke has brain problems and needs to have me and me only work with him."

Mr. Thoeana snorted. "Just because you, young lady want to work with Mr. Urameshi, doesn't mean, that he always wants to work with you. If he did have a disorder than we, as in all of his teachers, would know. Stop being a brat and go work with your partner."

"Sir, no disrespect, but he does have a brain problem." Keiko said.

"Keiko, knock it off. I don't have a brain problem. I like working with you, because you're my girlfriend and all, but that's all. Just drop it and work with Daniel." Yusuke finally said.

"Fine." Keiko said as she walked to her new seat.

"Alright so here's your assignment, I want a three page paper on brain cells and let's see, cheating." The teacher said.

Nick snorted. She glanced at Yusuke and then looked away. Yusuke noticed this.

"You got a problem, tomboy?" Yusuke asked.

"Yeah, with you." Nick retaliated.

"Ok, then fix it." Yusuke said.

"No thanks." Nick said as the bell rang.

Nick walked out and Norena caught up with her.

"You really got to learn to express yourself." Norena said.

"Not with him." Nick said.

"Fine, so where are you doing your project first?" Norena asked.

"Don't know, didn't discuss it." Nick said.

"Well, we're doing at Shuichi's first, because his is cleaner." She said, "Besides, my mom would kill me for bringing a boy that good looking into the house."

"Ha, I live alone, so I don't have that problem." Nick said as they walked to lunch.

Nick and Norena ate outside. Nick opened her lunch, which Norena had brought her. Inside was a ham sandwich, an apple with fruit dip, chocolate, and an orange soda drink. Norena had a roast beef sandwich, a banana, chocolate pudding, chocolate candy, and bottled water. Nick slowly ate her lunch when she saw Yusuke come towards her and sit. She scooted over a little to have breathing room.

"So, where are we doing the project on the first night?" Yusuke asked.

"Your house." Nick said.

"I'm not so sure about that." Yusuke said looking at her.

"Fine the library." Nick said without looking at him.

"You know what, my house sounds ok." Yusuke said as he took one of Nick's pieces of chocolate and took a swig of her orange soda.

"Yuck." Nick said.

"Don't worry; I don't have germs or any disease you have to worry about." Yusuke said while walking off.

"Fine." Nick said as she continued to drink her orange soda.

"That was gross." Norena said.

"Well, I kind of have to drink something." Nick said as they continued to eat. After lunch they walked to their next class, English.

"Now class," an old woman said, "I'm Mrs. Coleman, and I'm your substitute. Turn to chapter ten and read silently and answer the questions at the end of the chapter."

Yusuke was sitting in front of Nick. He leaned back and handed her a note. She looked at him confused, but decided to open it. On the inside it read, I think you're cute. It was in Yusuke's handwriting. She looked up eyes open wide. She then tapped Yusuke on the shoulder and whispered in his ear.

"You actually like me, or are you pulling my leg." Nick said to Yusuke.

"I like you, even if you have a small ass and tiny breast." Yusuke said as Nick slapped him extremely hard. "Ow! What was that for?"

"That was for you looking in placed you shouldn't have been looking." Nick said a little pissed.

"Sorry, I won't do it again." Yusuke said.

"You better not." Nick answered as the bell rang. Yusuke, Nick, Norena, and Kurama all walked out of class together. Nick then looked at Yusuke and decided to ask.

"Do you have any more classes with Keiko?"

"Yeah, one more and then the rest are with you." Yusuke said. Just as they mentioned her, Keiko walked in between Yusuke and Nick and walked along side Yusuke.

"Are we still on for Saturday night?" Keiko asked.

"Actually, Nick and I are doing our project that day. I was going to tell you later." Yusuke said.

"Yusuke, that's my only night off for two weeks." Keiko said.

"We'll settle that later." Yusuke said as Keiko got out of the group and walked into her geography class with Yusuke behind her. He smiled and waved to Nick. She put up her hand as to have waved back. Norena, Kurama, and Nick then walked to math class. After those classes, they all met up in the hall.

"Now, off to band." Norena said.

"Yes, I noticed Nick just joined at the end of last year, as did Yusuke." Kurama said.

"Nick is second chair Bassoon, while I'm first chair." Norena said.

"Yusuke here is first chair Trumpet." Kurama said nudging Yusuke.

"First chair? You? I don't believe it." Nick said.

"Well, it's true." Yusuke said.

Eventually they got to the band room. Yusuke and Nick went into the back to get their instruments first. They had dropped their backpacks at the door. Yusuke searched for his Trumpet. Nick laughed as he didn't see it, even though it was sticking out of the French horn section.

"French horns above you." Nick said.

"What?" Yusuke started and brought his head up, "OW!"

"Trumpet in French Horn section." Nick repeated.

"Oh, there's my Trumpet." Yusuke said as he grabbed it off the shelf. Nick grabbed her Bassoon case, which was bigger than the rest. Yusuke and her walked out together as Kurama and Norena walked in. Kurama walked straight to his French horn. Norena liked that he didn't care what people said about the fact that he played French horn. They walked out there where a lot of people were already set up. They all set up as the band director, a woman with brown hair and was kind of plump, came out.

"Not, Dr. Kushner." Nick mumbled to herself, but Norena heard.

"Well, Mr. Williams is sick so get used to it." Norena whispered. Yusuke then glanced down since he wasn't that far away from Nick. He liked her already. Keiko was getting annoying and he needed someone who had more in common with. Kurama was first chair French horn.

"Alright now, concert b flat scale, two octaves, and three if you know it." Dr. Kushner said as she put her hands up and directed it. After the scales she told them to pull out one of the pieces they were suppose to play. "First Trumpets, only. Play the first five measures."

All the first Trumpets played, but it sounded as though some were pushing the wrong valves.

"No, no, no!" She screamed, she then pointed to Yusuke, "You've memorized your parts, get up here and play it."

Yusuke slowly stood up and got in front of the class and played it perfectly.

"Now I want the rest of you Trumpets to do that." She inquired mostly to the third Trumpets. "You can sit now Yusuke." Yusuke happily went back to his seat.

"Way to go man," Another boy next to him said.

"Now, French Horns." She said as she conducted them. Some sounded as though there was spit stuck in them. "No! Shuichi play please."

Kurama played the part perfectly.

"Please follow him." She said.

"Now, Bassoons play." She said as she conducted.

Norena and Nick played perfectly, but she still stopped them.

"No, Nick look at your part again and play." Nick played, but again she was cut off. "See you're hitting the wrong note, that's not a low c it's a high one."

"Wrong group." Everyone said.

"Oh, I'm sorry, never mind, keep on now." She replied.

After band all the kids were packing quickly to get away from her. Yusuke then saw Nick in the back putting away her instrument. Yusuke then walked back there and saw Keiko. She wasn't in band. Yusuke didn't even care. He looked at Nick who was almost done cleaning the spit out of her instrument. Yusuke helped her. Nick looked at him strangely.

"You do know that's my spit." Nick said.

"Yeah, but I've had Kurama's spit in my mouth so I don't care." Yusuke said as he helped. He looked at her again and she had a confused face. "Truth or Dare game."

"Oh, well let's go." Nick said as she grabbed Yusuke and they walked out. Kurama and Norena were waiting. Nick then laughed as she grabbed Yusuke and her backpack as Yusuke did.

"Kurama, I heard you lip locked with someone." Nick laughed.

Kurama then blushed bright red. Yusuke didn't tell her, did he? Kurama thought to himself. He figured he'd just leave it at that and they ran after them. They all ran, until they saw a dean. Only Kurama and Norena stopped to walk, while Nick and Yusuke ran right past him.

"Walk." The dean inquired.

"Sorry, dean Shadburns, in a hurry over here." Yusuke screamed back.

"Yusuke, my office three o'clock, we still have to discuss your suspension!" He screamed.

"Ok!" Yusuke screamed back. Nick then dragged Yusuke all the way to there next class. Norena and Kurama were right behind them. They then ran to their second to lasts class. There standing in front of them they saw their teacher and Keiko kissing and hugging. The teacher the stuck his hands up Keiko's skirt and Keiko put her hands around his neck. They kissed and touched each other. Eventually they parted and went separate ways. The four of them looked stunned.

"Should we report them?" Norena asked.

"Nah, I say we use it as black mail so he doesn't give us extra homework." Yusuke said as he put his cell phone back in his pocket.

"You took a picture?" Kurama asked him shocked.

"Yeah, how else are we going to show him we saw?" Yusuke smirked.

They all walked into class and the teacher looked up. He wasn't happy.

"You four are late." He said.

"To amazed at you." Yusuke said as he sat down.

"What on heavens do you mean?" the teacher questioned as he got closer to Yusuke's desk.

"I could show the whole class, but it would most likely get you fired." Yusuke said as he took his cell phone out and showed his teacher. The teacher then cleared his throat.

"The four of you are excused." He said as he sat down.

"You know, I didn't finish last night's homework, maybe our teacher can cut back on that too." Yusuke said looking at his teacher.

"Yes, only three pages tonight instead of ten." The teacher said as he gave the class the three worksheets.

After that class, they all walked to their last and final class, technology. They all walked in as Mr. Victors, the tech teacher looked at them. They all sat down next to each other and looked at the board. The instructions were to do the tutorials. They all did the agonizingly boring flash tutorials. Eventually they heard the loud speakers and then they grabbed their stuff. The moment the bell rung they all left out of the school. They were on their way home. They all went their separate ways. Nick walked into her house and sat down. The image of her brothers face, flashed before her eyes.

"I need you here now." She said as she sat around her living room upset.

R&R Tell me, the truth, how was it!
