Disclaimer: I don't own Yu Yu Hakusho or any of the characters or anything, though I wish I did! I'm just a really, really... huge fan of it!
A/n- So, this is my first YYH fan fiction that I'm writing on here. It may not be that good, but I will do my best and tell me what you think! Enjoy!
And So the story begins...
Chapter One: Genkai's Grandniece
WAM! Yusuke was sent flying toward the dojo wall by one of Genkai's overpowering kicks.
"Dammit! Did you have to attack so suddenly you old hag!" Yusuke exclaimed as he slowly stood up, rubbing the back of his head.
"Maybe if you hadn't let your guard down, you could've blocked it, dimwit!" Genkai yelled back.
Genkai resumed her fighting stance and Yusuke did the same. The fight continued. Both ran at each other and threw their punches and attacks.
"Sorry to interrupt, but I'm finally here, Aunt Genkai," a voice coming from the doorway said.
Yusuke and Genkai stopped dead in their tracks and looked over to see a girl about Yusuke's age standing in the doorway. She had shoulder-length, silver hair that was flipped out and eyes that were a stunning shade of purple.
"Avi-chan!" Genkai said in surprise. "You weren't supposed to arrive for another few days."
"I know, but things change," she replied, meekly smiling.
"Well then, how about some tea? You probably would like something after such a long trip," Genkai said, walking toward the door.
"Wait! Aren't you going to introduce your friend?" the girl said, while pointing to battered and beaten Yusuke.
"Oh, the dimwit. He can introduce himself. Follow me," Genkai answered, walking out the door and down the hall.
"So much for an introduction," Yusuke muttered, but he then turned to Avari and said, "Yo! I'm Yusuke Urameshi."
"Nice to meet you. I'm Avari Raji," she said.
"So... What are you here for? Training?" Yusuke questioned.
"Uh... I guess you could say I'm here for a visit," Avari responded, with a hint if sadness in her voice. Yusuke noticed it, but just shrugged it off. There were a few moments of silence between the two.
"We should probably follow Genkai," Avari finally said.
They both headed out the door and into the hallway to the kitchen where Genkai was.
-In the Kitchen-
"Would you like milk or honey in your tea, Avi-chan?" Genkai asked.
"Honey will be fine," Avari answered from her seat at the kitchen table. She was sitting across from Yusuke with Genkai at the head of the table fixing the tea. Genkai handed everyone their cup of tea.
"So Yusuke, are you a student of Genkai's or...?" Avari asked after taking a sip of her hot tea.
"Student. Grandma over here held a sort of competition to see who was worthy of her training and I won," Yusuke said looking quite proud.
"Wow. You must be quite the fighter to be worthy of Genkai. She's taught me everything I know. Maybe sometime we could spar," Avari said.
"That'd be cool. How long are you staying here with Genkai?" Yusuke said.
"You know, I'm not too sure," Avari said, looking a little sad again. She quickly finished her tea and got up from her seat. "Well, ..yawn.. I'm really tired out from my trip. I think I'll go take a nap. Thank you for the tea, Aunt Genkai. I'll probably be seeing both of you later." She made her way toward the door, slid it open and walked out into the hall, closing the door again behind her.
"Why did she leave so suddenly?" Yusuke asked. "Was it something I said?"
"I think you should know why she is here, Yusuke," Genkai said, looking over at Yusuke. "She's here because recently her parents were killed by a band of demons. I'm the only other family she has, so she will be living with my from now on."
"Oh. No wonder she seemed so depressed and sad," Yusuke said, finally understanding.
"She just needs to have a little more time to get over the loss and then you'll see her perk up," Genkai said.
"Ok," Yusuke replied taking the last sip of his tea and getting up form his chair. "I don't know about you grandma, but I'm beat. I'll see you later." Yusuke started making his way toward the door, but Genkai got up quickly and grabbed a hold of his shirt.
"And just where do you think your going? You still have another 2 hours of training," Genkai said, as she dragged Yusuke out the door and down the hall back to the training hall for two more 'fun-filled' hours of heartless training.
