Yay! Second chapter up! It took me a long time for this one! I was kinda clueless on what to do! Oh! I'm going to be known as Noi, just like in my wolf's rain fic, seeing how that is my nickname and everything.
Kurama: ;;pops out of nowhere;; I like the name Noi. It means 'saint'.
Noi: ;;smiles;; Yup! Funny thing is, I was born christmas eve!
Yusuke: ;;pops out of nowhere;; ;;looks around;; Where the hell am I!
Noi: You are in my fic! Ok! Before anybody else comes a long. Who wants to do the thingy?
Kurama: Thingy?
Noi: Yea. That's the disclaimer, but I call it the thingy!
Yusuke: I want to do it!
Noi: Go ahead!
Yusuke: Noi doesn't own Yu Yu Hakusho. She does own the plot, Megumi and Melody. Anything else?
Noi: Yes! Kurama! Actually, nope. I don't. ;;pouts;; And Kurama's really hot too!
Kurama: ;;blinks and slightly blushes;;
Noi: On with the story!
Yusuke gets up and leaves the house, with his bag, while saying good-bye to his mother. Yusuke wasn't happy. Far from it. He kept thinking about last night, where he snuck out and went to the orphanage. He didn't like what he saw, actually, he hated it.
'Damn it! Why the hell did Kuwabara have to do that? He's always doing something like that!' Yusuke thought. A hand on his shoulder took him out of his thoughts and he looked behind him to find both Kurama and Hiei.
"Hey." Yusuke says and Kurama smiles.
"Feeling bad about yesterday?" Kurama asks and Yusuke nods. "Yea. So am I. Hiei's a little disappointed as well, even if he's not showing it." Kurama says as he looks at Hiei and Hiei looks away. They get to the school and see Kuwabara standing against the wall, looking frustrated.
"What's the matter Kuwabara?" Yusuke asks as they get up to him and Kuwabara sighs.
"I feel bad for what I did! I didn't know I was going to make Megumi turn around and run! I didn't mean to do that!" Kuwabara says and sighs again.
"Yea, well, we all make mistakes. I just hope the twins will come today, though I don't think they will." Yusuke says.
"Why's that?" Hiei asks and Yusuke sighs.
"I snuck out last night and went to the orphanage." Yusuke says.
Yusuke snuck out the front door with ease and closed it silently. He ran down to the school and retraced his steps to where they stopped. Yusuke walks about a block or two and sees the orphanage.
'Well. At least I found it with no trouble.' Yusuke thought as he sighed. 'Now. Where would I find Megumi and Melody?' Yusuke looks around when he hears a noise. Yusuke blends in with the shadows and sees two people walking. One of them was slouched while the other had thier harm around the others shoulder.
They're walking on the same side of the street as Yusuke was before he hid in the shadows. One shakes thier head and starts sobbing. The other hugged the one sobbing and this was when they stopped, infront of where Yusuke was hiding.
"Look. It's alright. We'll just go to school tomorrow and see what happens." A boy said and it didn't take long for Yusuke to figure out that the boy talking was Megumi and the person sobbing was Melody.
"I don't want to. I don't want to have to deal with this again!" Melody sobbed. "It happens everytime we make friends and they find out we're orphans. They turn away and won't speak to us." Megumi sighs and rests his head on hers.
'How many times has this happened to them before?' Yusuke wondered to himself.
"Melody. Lets just head in and go to school tomorrow. It was just Kuwabara that walked away. Maybe the others didn't, but I really don't know. I was afraid and thought they thought the same thing. They might have just stood there, looking at Kuwabara, wondering what he was doing." Megumi tried again and Melody shook her head.
"Why does everybody think that they're better than us when they find out we're orphans? It's starting to get on my nerves!" Melody says and cries harder. Megumi rubs her back and sighs.
"Lets head in Melody. Rose might be up. You know how she is. She can't go to sleep without us there. Come on. Lets turn in and see how we feel tomorrow morning." Megumi says and Melody nods. They walk across the street and silently go inside the orphange.
Everybody stared at Yusuke.
"Well. We won't know until first hour. Lets not get our hopes up." Kurama says and everybody nods while walking in the school grounds. Hiei looks at everybody else.
"I'll be waiting in the same tree I was in yesterday." Hiei says and walks to the tree. Everybody sighs and goes inside thier first hour class, early, just like yesterday. They go to thier seats and stay silent, until the bell rings, signaling class to start. When everybody was seated, they noticed that Megumi and Melody weren't in the room.
"Megumi and Melody Sagara." Mr. Akashi says, taking role call. Mr. Akashi looks up and sees that they're not there. "I was sure they'd be here today. Guess not." Mr. Akashi says and continues with the role call. Everybody sighs and when first hour ended, they all went outside where Hiei was.
''They're not here?" Hiei asks and they shake thier heads. "Figures. They weren't feeling up to coming." Hiei says and was about to say more, but the communicator Botan gave Yusuke rang. Yusuke flips it open and sees Koenma.
"Yea?" Yusuke asks, not happy at the fact that the twins skipped school, which is saying something, seeing how he was the school skipper. Koenma raises an eyebrow at Yusuke's tone, which was irratation.
"I need you guys right now. Skip school and come to my office immediately." Koenma says and Yusuke was about to object, but Koenma hung up. Yusuke puts the communicator in his pocket and they run off of school grounds. They go through a portal and run to Koenma's office. They get to the doors and open them.
"What's so important that you want us to skip school? My mom will kill me if she finds out and I don't feel like dieing again!" Yusuke yells, now really pissed off. Koenms looks at Yusuke.
"You're in a bad mood." Koenma says and Yusuke mutters 'No shit sherlock,' but Koenma ignored him. "We have a little problem in human world." Yusuke rolls his eyes.
"Yea. Well, we have a problem of our own in our world!" Yusuke snaps and crosses his arms across his chest. "What's this problem about?" Koenma raises an eyebrow. "What? I'm in a pissed off mood right now!" Koenma shakes his head.
"Actually Koenma, none of us are in a good mood right now. When did this problem start?" Kurama asks calmly and Koenma takes out a folder from one of his drawers from the desk.
"Well. This problem started 80(I'm feeling lazy right now) years ago. 80 years ago, two ice apparitions came into human world and they've been living in human world for 80 years. Here's a picture of them. They're twins." Koenma says as he hands a picture to Yusuke, who takes it with a sigh. His eyes widen.
"Holy shit! Guys! It's Megumi and Melody!" Yusuke says in surprise.
"What!" Everybody shouts and looks at the picture. Sure enough, there was Megumi and Melody, sitting down against a tree, with an innocent look on thier faces and a smile.
"They look happy, don't they?" Koenma asks and everybody nods. "Yea, well. I need you to find them, before they find them and if they find them, they're dead. I don't think you want them to die. Am I right?" Koenma asks and they nod.
"Well, yea! They're our friends. Now we just have to try to talk to them. After what happened yesterday, I don't think they want to talk to us." Yusuke says and Koenma raises an eyebrow. "That's the problem we're having in our world at the moment." Koenma nods, understanding.
"Well. Do you know where they live?" Koenma asks and they all nod. "Well. Go get them then! Talk to them, explain whatever the problem is between you six and then tell them about this situation! If they get caught, they're dead and they're very important! You have to find them and make sure they don't die!" Koenma yells. Everybody nods and runs out of the office and back into Human World.
"Why are they so important? Hiei. Did you read Koenmas mind?" Yusuke asks and Hiei nods his head.
"Yes. He doesn't know why they're important either. That's all Enma told Koenma." Hiei responded and they slowed to a walk when they were across the street from the orphanage.
"Well. Lets go in and see if they're there." Yusuke says and everybody nods. They cross the street and walk up to the door. Yusuke hesitates when reaching for the doorknob. He grabs the doorknob, and slowly opens the door. They walk in and see a lot of orphans.
"Excuse me?" Kurama asks a little girl and she looks up. "Will you show us to the one who owns the orphanage?" Kurama asks and the girl smiles. She gets up, grabs Kurama's hand and leads him to the back of the orphanage. There was an office and Kurama thanks the little girl.
"You're welcome." She says and leaves. Kurama knocks on the door and a woman opens the door. She raises an eyebrow.
"What are you kids doing here?" She asks.
"We're here to talk to Megumi and Melody." Kurama says and the woman smiles. She opens the door all the way and invites them in. They walk in and sit down in the chairs.
"So. Friends of thiers?" She asks and they all look at each other. "Well? If you're not thier friends, then I'm going to have to ask you to leave." She says and Kurama sighs.
"We're thier friends, but they don't think that." Kurama says and the lady raises an eyebrow. Kurama explains everything and the lady sighs.
"Oh. That might be why they won't leave thier rooms. So they thought you guys didn't want to be friends with them, because they're orphans?" Everybody nods. "Well. Go to the top of the stairs and open the door at the end of the hallway. Megumi and Melody should be in there." She says and they stand up.
"Thank you." Yusuke says and she nods. They go up the stairs and open the door at the end of the hallway. Megumi and Melody were sitting on a bed, looking out the window. Yusuke smiles. "Hey!" They twins jump and look at them with wide eyes.
"What are you guys doing here? You do realize by now that you're in an orphanage and talking to orphans, so why are you here?" Megumi asks as Melody looks back out the window, but they could tell she was listening. They walk in, close the door and sit on the bed nearest them.
"I'm sorry." Kuwabara blurts out and both of the twins look at him. "I walked away because I didn't know why Melody was afraid of us coming with you guys home. I walked away to try to find out and when I did, you were already gone Megumi. So. Sorry." The twins look at each other and Megumi sighs.
"Well. I don't see why I shouldn't accept your apology, so. Apology accepted." Megumi says with a smile and than looks at Melody. Melody looks out the window again.
"Apology accepted." She whispers and everybody smiles.
"Are we still your friends, because we still think of you guys as our friends." Yusuke says with a big smile and the twins look at each other. They look at them with a smile.
"Yea! So long as you guys don't tease us for being orphans!'' They say in unison and everybody nods.
"Seeing how that's done and over with. We have another problem, that concerns you two." Yusuke says and thier smiles were wiped off thier faces. "Why didn't you tell us that you two were ice apparitions?" The twins gasp. "Don't worry. Hiei here is half fire and half ice demon."
"We figured that out, but how did you guys know that?" Megumi asks and they tell them everything. About being Spirit Detectives and what Koenma said. The twins look at each other.
"I thought for sure they'd forget about us by now! It's been 80 years!" Melody says quietly and Megumi nods.
"Nothing we can do about that now. So. What do we do now?'' Megumi asks and they all smile.
"We have to take you to Spirit World to see Koenma. Don't worry. Nothing bad will happen." Kurama adds as the twins pale. The twins nod hesitantly and then sigh.
"Wait. What do we tell the lady?" Melody asks and Megumi groans.
"I forgot! We tell her we're going with our friends outside to hang out." Megumi says and Melody shakes her head and holds up two fingers. "Ohh. That's what you meant. Well. We can do what we did with all the other orphanges."
"But the lady is really protective of us. She's not going to let us leave easily, unlike all the others." Melody says and Megumi sighs. "I never said we can't try, but what will we say?" Megumi shrugs. ''You're a wonderful big brother."
"I know." Megumi says with a smile that makes Melody shake her head. "Seriously. How will we do this? All of the other lady's owning the other orphanges never really liked us." Hiei smiles his rare smile.
"Let me handle it." Hiei says and leaves. The twins look at the others.
"Trust Hiei. He knows what he's doing. Now. Lets go and see what happens." Yusuke says and everybody gets up and leaves the room. They walk downstairs and the little girl that took them to the owner ran up to Melody.
"Melody!" She says with a smile on her face as Melody picks her up. "I thought you would never come down!" Melody gives off a small smile.
"Neither did I Rose. Neither did I." Melody says and Rose smiles big. They stay at the end of the stairs waiting for Hiei. Hiei comes back and he nods. Melody puts Rose down. "We're leaving now Rose." Rose frowns.
"Are you coming back?'' Rose asks and Melody shakes her head. Rose starts to cry. "I'll never see you or Megumi ever again?" Megumi bends down and puts his hand on Roses' head.
"If you ever need us Rose, just think really hard and think that you need us really badly. We'll come." Megumi says and Rose hugs Megumi.
"I don't want you to leave! I don't want you to leave!" Rose says shakily.
"I know. Neither do we, but we have to go. We'll come and visit, if you don't mind." Melody says and Rose shakes her head with a smile.
"No. I don't mind. Just don't forget about me." Rose says.
"Why would we? You're so cute!" The twins say in unison, making Rose laugh. "Now go and play." Rose nods and leaves. They leave the orphanage, go through a portal and up to Koenma's office doors. "This is going to suck!" They walk in and Koenma looks at them.
"It's about time you got here! I thought you didn't get them in time!" Koenma yells and the twins hide. Megumi behind Yusuke and Melody behind Kurama. Koenma sighs. "Sorry Megumi and Melody. I was worried, that's all." The twins look at Koenma and shrug before slowly coming out of hiding. "Now. You two can't be left a lone. You two know this." The twins nod.
"Who are they and what do they want with you two?" Kuwabara asks and the twins shake thier heads. "Come on! We're friends! You can tell us!" Everybody else nods.
"No. We can't. Not unless we want you to be in pain, which we don't." Megumi says and Melody nods. Everybody's silent and Koenma clears his throat.
"Ok. Now we have to decide where you two are going to stay." Koenma says. "They're going to have to stay with one of you guys. I really don't know who else would protect them."
"Melody can stay with me!" Kuwabara says and Megumi raises an eyebrow.
"No. I don't think so." Megumi says. "I think Melody should stay with Hiei or Kurama. I'll stay with either Kuwabara or Yusuke." Megumi says and looks at Melody.
"Why are you looking at me? It would be best if we didn't stay together at the same house, but that doesn't mean I like it." Melody says and Megumi nods.
"Good. Now decide who stays with who. I'll be contacting you tomorrow after school." Koenma says and everybody leaves. They go into human world and walk down the street.
"So. How are we going to decide this?" Melody asks and everybody shrugs. They go into a park and sit down next to a tree in a circle. "First off. Does anybody in your family Kuwabara, Yusuke, Hiei and Kurama know about demons and everything else?" Yusuke and Kurama shake thier heads and Kuwabra nods and Hiei doesn't say anything.
"This could cause a problem. I guess I'll be staying with Kuwabara, so Yusuke doesn't get found out, but how are we going to decide with Melody?" Megumi asks.
"She can stay with me." Hiei says and the Spirit Detectives look at him with shock. "What? Kurama can't walk in to his house and ask his mother if his friend, who's a girl, live with them." Hiei growls.
"Hiei does have a point." Kurama says and Melody smiles.
"Then it's settle. Megumi will live with Kuwabara and I'll live with Hiei. Ummmm...this is going to sound weird, but where do you guys live? All of you." Melody asks and they smile, except Hiei. They get up and show where everybody lives, except Hiei. "Where do you live Hiei?"
"Hn. Follow me." Hiei says and everybody follows him to an apartment building. They go up to the third floor, down the hallway to a door that has the number 311 on it. "This is where I live." Hiei opens the door and everybody goes in. Everybody sits down and just relax.
"Say! Megumi!" Melody says and Megumi opens one eye to look at Melody. "You don't suppose we can visit big sis, do you? We haven't seen her in a long time." Megumi shrugs.
"I don't know. We could, but I don't really know where she is." Megumi says and Melody sighs, muttering 'Figures.' "Hey! We've been here for 80 years! I know you don't know."
"That's why I asked you." Melody says and they stay quiet.
"Who's your big sister?" Kurama asks and the twins smile.
"Her name's Yukina." The twins say in unison and everybody's jaws drop, especially Hiei's. "What?"
