lalaladragongrl: Hey peeps! Wazup?

Rachel: I AM EGG!

Yusuke: You're an idiot. (Rachel knocks him out) Owwwwww…

lalaladragongrl: Rachel be nice. (Punches Yusuke)

Rachel: If you told me to be nice, then why did you punch Yusuke?

llldg: Because it's not fair that you get to knock Yusuke out and I don't get to.

Yusuke: Hey! What about me? That hurts ya know!

Rachel and llldg: Cool! We hurt the spirit detective!

Kurama: Please, lets stop fighting and act like civilized people.

Rachel: KURAMA! (goes over to him and hugs him almost to death ) Yay!

Kurama: Can you please let go now? I can't breathe.

Rachel: Ohh, can I give you mouth to mouth then?

Kurama: (changes into Youko) Sure, why not?

Rachel: Yay! (they start to kiss)

Kurama: (changes back into Shuichi form and stops kissing) Uhhh…(sees Rachel in his arms, starts to blush)

Rachel: OHHH! KURAMA, YOU'RE SOOO CUTE!

Yusuke: Kurama, you dog you…(gets punched by llldg)

llldg: Ahem. Rachel, will you please say the disclaimer?

Rachel: But I don't wanna! (being a big brat)

Llldg: (whispers to Rachel) But I bet that Kurama would kiss you again if you did.

Rachel: Okay, I'll do it! Llldg doesn't own YYH the characters or anything else except for the plot. But I own Kurama! (evil lawyers start to appear in the distance) Okay fine. I don't own him, damn lawyers

Llldg: now on with the story!

Kurama talking to Youko

(Author's note, aka, me talking)


Chapter One: Poke

Kurama's POV

It was a normal day at school; girls trying to get me to go on dates, crazy fan girls following me, getting high scores in all of my classes: the usual. But surprisingly, no missions. I was guessing that Hiei was very bored right now, asleep in his tree; Yusuke might have been in school, but I highly doubted that; and Kuwabara…well, it's hard to tell with him.

/What about me? Aren't you concerned about how I'm feeling today/

I sighed. Why should I wonder? We're the same person. I know how you are doing

/So you're saying that you don't care about me? I'm hurt./

Oh please. Save me the drama, I already know that you're bored and just want something to do. When I let you do something, you always end up making it so I end up stalking a girl from school.

/So? You do need to date more often./

Before I could say anything back, the teacher told us to quiet down so he could speak. "Class, I would like to introduce a new student of ours: Sawicki Rachel. She is a transfer student from America who has taken a class to learn to speak Japanese and learn our culture. I ask you all to please treat her kindly and with respect. Miss Sawicki, why don't you tell us about yourself and then take a seat."

Beside him was a girl that stood at about 5'4", with light brown hair and eyes that could have been either hazel or green. She seemed to be very nervous, but introduced herself without stumbling over a word.

"Konnichiwa. My name is Sawicki Rachel. I come from the state of Ohio in America and my hobbies are reading, playing video games, and taking Tae Kwon Do."

"Arigato, Sawicki-san. Why don't you sit down in the empty seat by the window," the teacher said, motioning to the seat right next to mine.

Sawicki-san walked over and sat down in the seat, but didn't even give me a glance.

/Hmm, she seems interesting. Usually girls would be blushing, or at least they would have looked at us./

It's not that bad. At least I know there's one less girl for me to worry about in this school that wants to go out with me.

/Like I said before, you should date more. Then you wouldn't have to worry about that kind of stuff./
Oh just be quiet already. I need to focus on what the teacher is saying so then I can keep up with everyone.

/Why should you have to worry about that? You're already the top student in every class, so why do you need to worry? Why don't you just take a day or two off like Yusuke or Kuwabara? You could use a break from this place./

I can't. If I did, then the school would call my house and then mother would get worried because I wouldn't be at school, where she expects me to be.

/Ugh, fine. You're no fun. I'll stop trying to convince you./

The catch?

/ I'm just going to take over and then I get to do what I want./

No! Youko, you can't do that right now! Not while I'm in school around people!

/Just watch./

Before Youko could finish I felt a tap come from beside me. I looked over at the new girl, but saw her focused on class. So then who tapped me? I decided to take this time to catch up with everyone else so that I knew what they were talking about.

:Poke:

I quickly turned to Sawicki-san, and yet again I saw her paying close attention to what the teacher was saying. 'Hmm, curious. If Sawicki-san isn't tapping me, then who could?'

/Maybe it's one of your fan girls, you know how they want you badly./

No, it couldn't be one of them. None of them sit near me.

/So who do you think it could be, hmm? If it's not one of your fan girls, and not the new girl, then who could it be/

I'll figure that out as soon as I'm poked again. Then I'll catch whoever's doing it.

3 Minutes Later

/It seems that your plan is failing./

For a thief you have no patience.

/Well do you think I would while being trapped inside a human body/

It was your idea to be reborn as a human, learn from your mistakes.

/How am I supposed to do that if I don't even have a body of my own/

Well, you're just going to have to figure that out now, won't you?

:Poke:

I looked over to my left to see Sawicki-san standing up with her books in her arms.
"Class is over ya know, so you don't have to sit there any more."

"Sorry, I'm a bit out of it this morning. Thank you for telling me," I replied

"M'kay. See ya around then." She walked out of the classroom, leaving me bewildered.

'Who was poking me?'

Rachel's POV

'Man, that guy was really easy. I can't believe I got away with it. Maybe I should bug him a lot more and make him a bit crazy. Yeah, that'll be fun. Now how to do it? It has to be something good. More poking? Nah. Prank phone calls? Nope. What should I do? I have to think of something! Man, this guy is making me crazy trying to make him crazy without even trying. Or knowing for that matter.'

I was walking down the hallway when about ten to fifteen girls came up to me.

"Don't you dare go near our Shuichi again, or you will face the stinging wrath of . . . THE SHUICHI FAN CLUB!"

"Wow. Real good name you got there. How long did it take you to figure it out, like, 5 seconds?"

"No! We spent two weeks trying to figure out a name."

"Riiiiight. I should have known better. You guys probably needed to have taken that long. Ya know what they say… 'What you gain in beauty you lose in intelligence.'"

"Why thanks . . . Hey, wait a minute! Did you just call us bakas?" I just walked away ignoring them, not wanting to listen to a bunch of preps. Then I bumped into somebody and dropped all of my things.

I bent down to pick everything up, but as I reached for it someone else already had their hand on it and was giving it to me. I looked up to see the guy with red hair that I had been trying to annoy. 'What was his name? Could it be that Shuichi guy that those preps were talking about? Who knows.'

"Thanks," I said, taking my book from his hand.

"No, I'm sorry. I wasn't looking where I was going. My name is Minamono Shuichi. May I ask what yours is?"

'So he is that Shuichi guy. Man, he is way too polite. I'm sure making him go crazy will change all that.'

"Sawicki Rachel is my name. Nice to meet you, but I really must be getting to my next class. Ja ne." I quickly left and went to my next class. I had a weird feeling that he wasn't like normal guys. That must have been why he acted so polite, so no one could tell. 'Hmmm, that means he has some sort of secret. I smirked evilly to myself. That just means that I have to figure it out. What fun! But first I have to figure out how to make him crazy.'

Three Days Later

Kurama's POV

After School

'I've been poked for the last four days, and I still haven't found out who's doing it yet. This is so confusing. If it was one of my fan girls, then they would have stayed there and made it obvious that it was them, but since Hiei scared them off last week it should still be at least another few days until they start bugging me again. So then who could it possibly be? '

/Ahhh. My dear other half, is it not yet obvious to you who is doing this? The answer is everywhere./
So you know who did it?

/No. I just like to mess with your mind./

You're not helping.

/Well it's not my problem. Why not just have Hiei do a mind sweep of everyone in the school? Then you'll know who did it./

Of course, that's brilliant! Why didn't I think of that?

/Because I thought of it. So just ask Hiei tonight and then tomorrow you'll know who's bugging you./

Okay fine, don't get too overly excited over having an idea before I did.

/I know, but it's the only way I can ever really have fun./

Just then my communicator rang. I opened it up to see Botan's face. "Kurama, meet us at the park right now so we can discuss the new mission."

"All right. I'll meet you there in a few minutes."

"Good, and don't forget to get Hiei. I'll be getting Yusuke and Kuwabara."

"And the reason you cannot get Hiei is…?"

"I think he's still mad at me for accidentally causing an avalanche on our last mission. So can you get him?"

"Sure. I'll see you at the park." I closed my communicator, and after telling Hiei to meet us at the park I began to head there.

Rachel's POV

'Okay, this guy is really weird. He has a make-up thingy and was talking to it. Odd, yes, but disturbing, more likely. Maybe I should follow him and find out what's going on.'


And so I followed Shuichi. Well, more correctly, I ran after Shuichi. He made me run after him from the school yard all the way to the park without even stopping, except for when there was the occasional road crossing. 'Dude, how fast can this guy run without having to be an Olympic athlete?' But I followed him anyway. I have a really bad habit that when I want to find out that someone has a secret, I kind of go a tad overboard. Though it's not like it's a bad thing. I'm just too curious for my own good.

Finally we came to a stop at the park. I hid in the bushes behind where he and his group of 'friends', as I guess as I should call them, were standing.

Two of them looked like they went to another school. One had slicked-back black hair and brown eyes, and he looked like a real punk. The other one was really ugly, his orange hair put into a really bad Elvis-style hairdo, and had small beady black eyes. 'He's a sight not even for sore eyes.' Both of them had uniforms on.

The third person was real short guy, with black hair like the first guy, but it was spiked up and had a small starburst in the middle. But to add to the Weird-O-Meter-of-Fun he had red eyes, almost the color of blood. 'Creepy,' I thought. He was wearing a black cloak-dress thing, but it was really hard to tell. And last but not least was the only girl in the group, who had light blue hair and, shockingly, bubble-gum-pink eyes. She was wearing a light pink kimono with a blue obi, and was doing most of the talking. 'Hold up. What are they talking about again?' So I started to listen to their very odd and confusing conversation.

"So does everyone understand what we're doing?" The girl with blue hair asked. 'Great. I missed the whole thing.'

"Uh yeah, you lost me there in the middle part," replied the ugly one.

"Hn, no surprise there baka. You can't even have an intelligent conversation with the detective," retorted the short guy.

"Hey!" exclaimed the two guys in uniforms.

"You wanna piece of me shrimp!" challenged the ugly one to the shorter one.

"Now, now. Let's stop this bickering and focus on completing the mission" Shuichi pleaded, trying to stop the fighting.

"How can we do that if we don't even know where to find the loose demon, Kurama," asked the guy with slicked back hair.

'Kurama? What kind of nickname is that? It has no relation to his name at all . . . HOLD UP! Did they say demons! But those things don't even exist!'

Before I was able to think another thought I was attacked by some weird creature thing, and let out terrifying scream.

Kurama's POV

Just as Yusuke asked me how we were going to find the demon we're searching for, a scream came from the woods behind us. We instantly ran towards where we heard it come from. When we found the demon it was holding-- no. Could it be? 'Sawicki-san! But how? No time for that now, we have to save her.'

"Hey, ugly! Put her down, now!" shouted Yusuke.

"Fine, then. I'll give you her bones once I'm done devouring her," said the demon. 'Even though he's a lower class demon, somehow he's able to defeat us, but how? He shouldn't be strong enough to even be a challenge for Kuwabara.'

"Oh no you don't!" Yusuke yelled. He aimed his finger in a shooting position at the demon, then yelled, "SPIRIT GUN!"

A blast of blue energy came from Yusuke's finger and shot towards the demon, and hit it square on the head, dropping Sawicki-san in the process. But when she hit the ground she didn't get up. 'She must be unconscious from being attacked, and for seeing a demon for the first time,' I thought.

I summoned my whip and attacked the demon, but it avoided my attack by jumping out of the way, like it had several times. Knowing this, Hiei jumped up as well and cut the demon into multiple pieces of ,well, demon. I then ran over to Sawicki-san to see if she was still alive or not. She was alive, and that was good, but the only problem now was that she now knew about demons, and Koenma will have to explain everything about the three worlds and how important it is that she keeps this a secret. I sighed. 'At least she's alive, and that's a good thing.'

Kuwabara then came over and asked, "Hey Kurama, who's she? She's really pretty."

"Her name is Sawicki Rachel, she goes to my school. She's a exchange student from America, and we're in the same class," I replied.

"Oh dear. Is she going to be alright?" Asked Botan in a concerned tone.

"Yes, she'll be fine. When the demon attacked her it grabbed her by the neck, but she must have passed out right after she screamed."

"Well, I guess we're going to have to take her to the Spirit World to see Koenma. I'll open up a portal for us to go through," said Botan a bit more cheerful than before, and started to work on getting a portal open.

5 Minutes Later

"Botan, aren't you done opening the portal yet!" Whined Yusuke, who was tired of waiting and beating up Kuwabara.

"No. Ah, wait. Here we go." A portal appeared. " Now off to the Spirit World!"

/How is it she can be so cheerful again/

I don't know, isn't she supposed to be the grim reaper.

I picked up Sawicki-san bridal-style since she was still unconscious and leapt into the portal. Once through, we landed in Koenma's office, where outside of his huge doors were ogres running about trying to keep track of every human, demon, and spirit in the three worlds.

We then heard a voice come from behind a huge office chair that was turned away from us. "Well done team, I'm glad that you accomplished your mission." He then turned around in the chair facing us. " Now all we have to do is. . . WHY DID YOU BRING A GIRL INTO MY OFFICE?"

Rachel's POV

I guess I was unconscious because when I woke up I was in a weird room, that looked like a giant office, and the thing was I was woken up by a very loud yelling.

"Hey you don't have to yell ya know. I have ears that can hear perfectly fine."

I then realized two things right at that moment, one was that I was yelling at what I guessed was a talking toddler, and two I was being held up in mid-air. I then looked up at whoever was holding me, only to look up at "Shuichi?"

"Konichiwa, Sawicki-san. I bet your wondering what's going on." said Shuichi, giving me a small smile.

"Yes. And if you'd be so kind as to put me down, I'd like to hear an explanation."

Shuichi then allowed me to stand up. Afterwards the ugly guy from before came up to me and held both of my hands in his and said, "My beautiful lady I shall protect you from any danger that you come against and -"

Before he could finish I knocked him flat on his face so he wouldn't be getting up for a while. I really hate when guys do that, thinking just that we're of the opposite sex and that we always need protection. Grrr, it bugs me so much.

I looked over to the guy with greased back hair who was rolling on the ground with laughter.

I sighed. "Can someone please just tell me what's going on with this whole demon thing?" I asked out of nowhere. Though I really wanted to know what was going on, this was really confusing and it was hurting my head to think about it.

"I'll tell you what's going on, but you must promise to keep this a secret, and tell no one, not even your family." The baby thing started to explain the whole thing about the three worlds, demons, the spirit detectives, and a bunch of other crap that I didn't listen to.

I just stared. It wasn't every day that a toddler can talk with the vocabulary of my older sister, and my sister has a very large vocabulary.

When he was done he asked me, "So, do you understand why you need to keep this a secret?"

". . .I understand all that, it's the fact that you can talk is what I don't understand. I mean you're a toddler for Pete's sake."

The guy with slicked back hair started to laugh again. "That's what I thought when I first met him."

"Please Miss, you must understand that even though I look like a toddler, I am thousands of years older than you," said the talking toddler.

"Okay then. So what do I do now?" I asked.

"Well, since you go to Kurama's school, we really have nothing to worry about.. So you can just go on living your life the same way as you have been."

"Okay, two things. One who is Kurama?" I already knew who it was, but it was best to just play dumb.

"Right, I forgot. Let's do a quick run through." He pointed at the ugly guy I punched.

"The person you knocked out is Kuwabara." He then pointed to the guy with slicked back hair.

"That guy over there is Yusuke." He then pointed over to the really short guy.

"That is Hiei." He pointed over to Shuichi.

"That is Kurama, but around others except us, you should refer to him as Shuichi." And lastly he pointed over to the girl with blue hair.

"And last but not least, this is Botan. Your everyday grim reaper."

"Konichiwa Rachel-chan! It is very nice to meet you!" Botan said very cheerfully.

I leaned over to Yusuke and asked, "How exactly is she 'your every day grim reaper'? I think that she's a bit too cheerful to be one."

"I know. I wonder that myself sometimes," replied Yusuke.

"Sawicki-san we should be going back to the human world soon, so no one will get suspicious of you being gone," Shuichi/Kurama said getting my attention.

"Well I still need to tell you guys the other thing." Everybody then stared at me. "I uh... Have an um. . . special ability."

"Like what?" asked Kuwabara.

"I'm able to move things around with my mind, and at times I can create force fields." After I said that everyone became quiet.

Then Koenma spoke. "Are you sure about that? Because on our files we have it that you are an ordinary human without spiritual powers."

"Well it's true. I just haven't really used my powers before. I usually just ignore my powers. And then when I its summer or spring break I use them so that they don't go out of control."

"Hmmm. This puts us in a more difficult position. Botan, take Miss Sawicki outside while we have a discussion over what we should do," Koenma said. Botan then lead me out of the room. 'I wonder what their going to do.'

"Don't worry. I'm sure Koenma and the others will find a good solution to all of this," said Botan reassuringly in her slightly creepy way.

The doors finally closed, so I was going to have to be clueless as they made a plan of what to do.

Kurama's POV

After a long discussion we all finally agreed on what we should do with Sawicki-san. Even Hiei agreed, though he didn't really want to. But it was better than continuing to argue with Yusuke and Koenma yelling, Hiei being negative as always, and Kuwabara being, well, Kuwabara.

"Alright, so we all agree on this?" asked Koenma, not wanting any second thoughts after the deed was done. We all nodded. "Okay then, Botan bring Miss Sawicki back in." The massive doors of Koenma's office opened allowing Botan and Sawicki-san to pass through.

When the doors closed up again Koenma turned to Sawicki-san and said, "Miss Sawicki, we have had a long conversation over what should happen." There was a short silence. "And we have decided that you shall stay with Genkai to train and learn to control your powers."


Llldg: So did ya like?

Rachel: Yep I liked it, but how come I have to train?

Llldg: Like it says above 'You shall stay with Genkai to train.'

Rachel: I know that. But I don't really have supernatural powers of the great beyond.

Llldg: Well now ya do.

Rachel: COOL! What should I do first? (looks over shoulder and sees Kurama)(does evil grin) What exactly are my powers again?

Llldg: Well lets see uhhh, you can move things with your mind, and at times create force fields.

Rachel: You mean I cant control minds?

Llldg: Sadly for you, yes.

Kurama: (comes over) What are you two talking about?

Llldg: The new powers that I gave her.

Kurama: And those would be?

Llldg: Moving things with her mind and making the occasional force field.

Yusuke: Ha ha ha! you got some stupid powers there.

Rachel: Can I?

Llldg: Sure, have fun.

Rachel: (uses her powers to fly Yusuke repeatedly into a brick wall) This is fun!

Everyone else: --;;;

Rachel: (now is using Yusuke as a live voodoo doll)

Yusuke: (Is in extreme pain) Please R&R before I die at the hands of this murderer!

Llldg: (smacks Yusuke) That's my line! Ahem, please R&R, or else Rachel won't stop hurting Yusuke.

M'kay. I had to repost this cause it got taken off for 'bad grammer, punctuation, spelling, etc.' I don't know how this happened, but I'll repost everything as soon as I can. You'll have to re-review too. Sorry.
