This is Just to Strange.

"EMILY-ANN!" screamed my mother; it seems that when I hit my alarm clock, I broke it. Hehe..
I rolled over and grumbled some colorful words and pulled the blanks over my head. "UP NOW YOU HAVE 15 MINUTES TO GET TO SARAYASHIKI" She screamed again.
"15 minutes" I grumbled, I then though about it for a minute. "DAMN!" I screamed when I realized where I had to be. "MISS FLEET IS GOING TO KILL ME!" I ran through my room looking for clean cloths, when I found some, jeans and my staff t-shit from camp. I ran out of my room, quickly hulled on my sneakers and ran out the door.
I could just see my mother standing in the kitchen door why shaking her head at me.
"Now that everyone one is here….." "Sorry… I'm….. late" I panted as I busted in the door, interrupting a teacher I didn't know. I though Miss Fleet was going to be here?
"You must be Miss Walsh, late I see, Miss Fleet told me about you, and she also told me that if you are late to add on another day to your tutoring." The teacher said with a smirk. I didn't like him.
I glared at him and took a seat in the front, why? Because it was the only seat left. I wonder was all these kids forced here like me?
"Now, as I was saying, now that everyone is here, I can tell you what your assignments are." The smug teacher said.
I glared at him though my glasses. Yes I have my glasses on, that way if I see someone I know I can hide away. I don't wear my glasses that often, and many people don't even know I have glasses, so it all works out.
"Mr. Minamino you will be helping Miss Walsh and Miss Yukimura with the grade 7s on math, you may leave." He instructed.
I glared harder at him; I really didn't like him, not one bit. Now who is Minamino and Yukimura?
I got out of my set and walked out the door and waited for the other two. I wasn't waiting long when none other then Keiko and red walked out the door. I smirked; this might not be that bad after all.
"Hey again" I said as they caught sighed of me and smiled. "Hey again?" they both said at the same time. Then looked at each other.
I smiled. "I ran into red on the way to school yesterday, and I met Keiko on the way back. SO red what is your name any way?"
He sweet droop at the nick name I gave him and said "Suichi"
I smirked "I like red better, I'm Emily, but you can call me Em it easer to remember." I stated as I held out my hand for a formal introduction.
He took my head, and again I got this weird feeling, and not a good one, like I should hate him for some reason, or better yet it's like I should attack him. He must have stolen a chicken from me in a passed life. (1) But I couldn't see anything in him that I would hate him for. "You look different with glasses." Keiko said with a smile. I shrugged
"I'm guessing you're from another country?" he asked out of now where, brining me back to earth.
I took my hand back and smiled at him, he's smarter then he looks. "Yes I was born in Canada, Newfoundland to be precise. I move here when I was about 7, my dad got a job offer he couldn't resist, and my mother is Japanese so it wasn't that bit of a deal. How did you guess?"
He smiled at me, wow that smile could melt stone. "By the why you spoke and how you introduce yourself, and the hand shake, we usually bow our heads."
I shrugged and said "Some habits don't leave you I guess. Any ways don't we have to help some kids? I don't want any more of my Saturdays took away, because I was talking all day."
They looked at me funny. I sighed "I'm surviving out my detection by doing this; I was late to many times."
They laughed, then Keiko smiled and took my hand "Don't worry about it, it's be fun, come on" she said as she dragged me down the hall.
"I can't believe that Kurama got out of this" Wined Yusuke, as he and his team wander around the Makai forest.
"He said he had something important to do and couldn't get out of it." Stated Botan, as she sat on her ore flooding around.
"Yea yea, he just said that because he can't remember where the Em… what the hell is it called again?" Yusuke stressed.
"Emeian you fool" A cold voice from the tree tops said sharply
"Yea, Emeian" he sighed "This is pointless, the only one who knows where it is, doesn't remember. This is just great." Yusuke pointed out as he hit a tree out of frustration. As he did the area around it waved a bit, like water in a pond.
"Wow, did you see that Urameshi? The air moved." Kuwabara said in shock.
"It's a barrier you idiot" The dangerous fire demon hissed.
"HEY!" Kuwabara shouted as he ran for the demon.
Hiei jumped out of the way and walked to where Yusuke hit the tree. He put his hand in it and said "This is a powerful barrier, who every created it is or was very powerful and didn't want anyone to get passed it. So what ever is behind this barrier is very important over very powerful."
"Like the Emeian?" Yusuke stated more then asked.
Hiei just smirked and unsheathed his katana. Yusuke pointed his Rei gun at the barrier and fired.
"Okay I'll say it again; first you take 3 from each side then you….AAA..." I held my chest; it felt like someone just hit me. I dropped the panicle, and took a deep breath just as another pain shot through my chest. "A AAA" I winged.
"Are you ok Em?" My tutee asked
I forced a smile on my face as another pain shot through me this time making me scream. "AAAAAAAAAAA"
Kurama was in the room next to me and ran in, followed by Keiko. The kid I was torturing was telling them happened, I couldn't really heard them something else was, more like other people where talking.
"It's isn't breaking"
"Then we'll just keep trying until the barrier is down"
"Wait! Maybe we should get Kurama, he could find away around this."
"Fine we'll get the fox."
"Emily! Are you ok?" Suichi voice ran through my ears. I just looked at him with pale eyes and said "The voices have stopped." Then passed out.
Kurama caught Emily as she fell forward. "Voices?" he asked him self as he picked her up bridal stile.
"I wonder what happened?" asked Keiko with a voice filled with concern.
"I don't know, but I think I should take her to my house. My mother is gone for the next two days so it would be best if she go there." Kurama stated as he started to walk out of the room, Keiko in tow.
When Kurama and Keiko got to his house, he found visitors, well more like his team members and friends.
"Hey Kura..m..a" Yusuke slowly said as he say the girl in his arms. Everyone looked at him.
"What happened? And who is that?" Yusuke asked quickly. He then saw Keiko "Keiko are you ok?"
Kurama walked over to his couch and placed Emily down. As Keiko was reassuring Yusuke that she was fine.
"What's going on fox?" came a cold voice form the window.
"Botan get me a bole of cold water and a wash cloth." he ordered. Botan did as he asked, and rushed off to get the water.
"Her name is Emily, we where at the school tutoring when she screamed, the boy she was helping she it looked she was in pain, then she passed out." Keiko explained.
Botan returned with the water and laid it next to Kurama; she looked at Emily and got a strange dajview feeling, like they met before.
"She also said something about voices" Kurama added as her placed the damp cloth on her forehead.
"Did she say what they said?" asked Yusuke.
"No she just said they stopped." Kurama answered as he got up and sat in a chair next to the couch.
"So how did the hunt for the Emeian go?" Kurama asked out of no where.
"We found a barrier in the forest, and tried to get though but nothing worked, so we called it quits and came here to ask for your help." Kuwabara explained.
Kurama starting thinking "What time did you attack the barrier?"
"10 minutes ago, what's on your mind fox?" asked Hiei in his cold voice.
Kurama looked at Emily. 'That was around the same time she screamed, could she have something to do with this?"
"arr…"
My head hurts, I slowly opened my eyes. "Good you're awake" A oh so familiar voice said.
I sat up and looked around I was in a living room filled with people I didn't know. "AA" I screamed pushed myself back into the couch as far as I could. "Where in god's name am I?" I asked in shock voice.
"My house" I looked to my said and saw red. I sighed in relief "You passed out in school so I brought you here, I don't know where you live." He said in a soft kind tone.
I turned so I in a sitting position, the next think I know I was tackled my Keiko. "I was worried about you." She cried.
I padded her back and said "Don't worry about me, I can handle anything." As I said that a strange feeling came over me again, like I said that before, and I said it to her.
She pulled away form me and sat next to me, and tried to hind the look on her face, that told me she felt it too.
"What happened?" asked a strange male voice. I looked up and saw a guy with orange hair, and one ugly mug.
I looked over at Suichi, as if I was saying who the hell are all these people?"
Suichi got up and walked over to me and said "Emily this is Kuwabara, Yusuke..." I stopped him. "I know him, met him yesterday when I met Keiko."
Yusuke just looked at me then said "Oh yea, the crazy girl. Didn't know yea with the glasses."
I sighed, and let Suichi continue. "Botan" he pointed to a girl in a pink kemoto, she looked familiar as well. This is just too strange.
"And Hiei" he said pointing to the window where a guy with black spiky hair dressed in a black dress? Sat.
I raised an eye brow "Why are you wearing a dress?" His left eye twitched, so did his hand, I'm guessing you don't want to mess with him.
"Sorry I asked." I said in defiance.
"Everyone this is Emily Walsh, from Hogo High" Suichi said. "Now Emily could you tell me what happened?"
I sighed and said "I wish I knew I just got these pains in my chest all of a sudden. Like some one was ripping out my heart. And it kept getting worst and worst, and then I could hear voices. But I can't remember what they where saying. I heard fox, and something about a barrier."
Suichi quickly looked at Hiei, who nodded his head, and in a flash he was gone.
"What?" I asked "Did I say something wrong?"
Suichi smiled at me, then I saw it, his eye they flash gold. I always dislike the color gold, I never knew why. But at that moment I knew there was more to him then that unusual red colored hair.
I took off my glasses and placed them on top of my head like nothing happened. Then said "So, can I go now?" everyone did an anime fall.
I shrugged.
Hiei ran through the Makai forest to where the barrier stood. "Let's see if that onna is telling the truth. FIST OF EMORTAL FLAMS" Fire engulfed his hands as he bounded on the barrier.
Suichi smiled at me and said "Do you want me walked you home?"
I opened my mouth to say no when a high pitch scream came out and I feel to the floor clutching my chest.
"EMILY!" everyone screamed.
It hurt so bad, like a million standing a once. It was strange I could see a boy, hitting something, and it looked like there were flames around his hands. "A .. boy.." I breathed out. "fire.." I managed to get out as I was once again I was greeted by darkness.
Kurama again placed Emily on the couch. 'That's enough; she passes out again from pain. And she said she saw you.'
'hn,'
"Take her to Koenma's?" asked Yusuke
"Yes, if she feels pain when some hit's the barrier and can see and hear them, I believe Koenma should know." Kurama answered placing a wet cloth on her forehead again.
'Could she be the Hogo of the Makai?'
