So now here it is fixed, Lisa is EmeraldLies, Serena is YellowCires, Marissa is FireNeverDies, Alex is OceanSighs and Katrina is GoldenAmethystEyes.

Chapter Three: Emails and Shocking Styles

Katrina shuffled through the box of compiled cd's that the girls had gotten for her. They had arranged them with her 'soft' songs such as Goo Goo Dolls' 'Slide', Bon Jovi's 'Born to Be My Baby', and Vertical Horizon's 'Everything You Want', with hard bands like Mudvayne, Powerman 5000, Disturbed and System of a Down, with dance music, with country songs and music that would help her sleep or meditate. She looked at one of the bands on one cd. -Mindless Self Indulgence. I can remember all the times we would speed through town with the windows rolled down and the speakers blaring.- The smile turned into a giggle as she remembered Alex, drunk, standing up through the sky roof singing along to the songs. -We nearly got pulled over.-

Tears came to her eyes as she looked at one cd dedicated to Cassandra Lee. She didn't need to listen to it to know every word of every song on the cd. She and her friends had been especially careful when deciding on what songs would go on it. She thought she would never see this cd again. -Lisa must have made a copy.- She thought as she started to cry harder.

She got up off of the floor and rushed to her bed, shoving her face in her pillows as sobs racked her body. She silently screamed into the pillows, all of the stress of the move and this new country falling in on her as she remembered one important fact that her parents must have forgotten.

Hiei watched the girl's house from a tree, able to hear the girl's thoughts clearly as she cried herself to sleep. His eyes narrowed.

Katrina walked slowly home, her head aching from trying to stay awake during class. She hadn't slept very well last night. Her dreams had been haunted by a familiar face, one that she thought she would never get to see again. She stiffled a yawn. "Damn this new school. I can't pull off my sleeping-but-listening trick. I'm still learning but I get in trouble for it."

She heard a chuckle to her grumble. She look to her side to once again see Shuichi standing outside of his father's store. He wasn't the only one chuckling, next to him stood a tall guy, almost as tall as him, with slicked back dark brown hair and dark mohagany eyes lit with laughter.

"Sounds like me. Except I never learned anything while asleep." the brown eyed boy said, still chuckling.

"Hello, Katrina." Shuichi said. He gestured to the other boy, "This is my friend."

Katrina bowed to the teen, who just shook his head and stuck out his hand, saying "I'm not the traditional type. The name's Yusuke Urameshi. Call me Yusuke."

Katrina smiled, and shook his hand. "My name's Katrina Lee. You can call me Kat."

Yusuke laughed. "You don't have the habit of going 'mreow' do you? I already have one friend that does that, though she's a little wacky."

Katrina smiled and shook her head. "No, I just purr." She then did a great imitation of a real pur.

Shuichi laughed along with Yusuke, reminding Katrina of her belated manners. She bowed to him. "I'm so sorry. I forgot to say 'Hi'. Sorry Shuichi," she apologized.

This only made him chuckle some more. "Don't be," he said as he studied the girl. "You look tired."

Katrina gave a sheepish shrug. "I just didn't sleep well last night, is all," she looked at her watch. "Well, I have to go. Mom said I have to do chores before I can get on the internet and email my friends back home. The chores being finish putting up my stuff and clearing out the boxes, sweep my room, the living room, the kitchen and then do the dishes. But I don't mind the finish putting up my room part." She smiled, "The only good thing about the new place is that I have a bigger room and my own telephone outlet for my computer. My parents even allowed me to paint my room dark purple and gold with new purple and gold curtains and a queen sizeed bed with matching sheets and cover that goes with the room."

Yusuke laughed, saying "Pretty dark room if you ask me."

Katrina shrugged. "Me and my friends were considered kind of 'dark', not exactly goth but with the black clothes, skater pants, fishnet shirts and hoses, plaid skirts, chains, balls, spikes, chokers and the dark make-up, though we didn't have the dark lipstick. It's usually considered 'freak' style." At the guys stunned expressions she smiled and winked. "Maybe one day you'll get to see me in all my glory. Bye." She waved as she started home.

The boys watched her go. "Wow. What did she mean by 'freak'?" Yusuke asked Kurama.

Kurama shrugged. "I'm not sure." He shrugged again and turned into the store. "Later Yusuke."

"Seeya."

Hey girls,

Well, the first 2wks have been bumpy. School sux. I'm not learning much new stuff and the red uniform is soo UGLY, what's worst is none of my jewelry goes with it, and most of it is banned anyways. I just finished putting up my art. I finished painting my room midnight purple and gold trimming. They gave me new curtains of the same purple flecked with gold dust and bed sheets and covers in the same style. By the way I got a queen sized four poster bed with dark purple gauzy curtains. Instead of having the fan light I got track lighting, now where ever I am in my room I can have the lights positioned to spotlight it. I haven't made much friends in school. The people are too busy fawning over the thought of having an American in their school. I keep getting bugged about what America is like. And the boys are terrible, they keep asking if I would go out with them...When I say no...they ask if I have a sister...I don't know what to tell them...I was thinking about her the other night...I miss her terribly. Please buy a yellow rose and give it to her for me. You know they're her favorite. I also learned that I have the highest scores in the school and the only ones that had scores like that were a guy named Shuichi Minamino and a guy named Kito. Don't know who Kito is but I met Shuichi. He's tall with long Loriel red hair and emerald green eyes. I met him yesterday when I was griping to my self that I didn't care who he was and how I had better not get the fan club that he had. He heard me and started laughing, then we talked for a few minutes before I went home. Today I saw him again and he introduced me to a guy named Yusuke Urameshi. He's almost as tall as Shuichi with slicked back brown hair and brown eyes that look almost reddish. We talked some and I told them about my room and how we dressed, they seemed shocked. I can't wait to show them how we dress and introduce them to our music. Thnx again for the box of goodies. Well girls, I better go.

Love yall

Katrina hit the send button. She leaned back from her computer and sighed, wishing she was with them in person and not connected to them by a phone line. She sprung up. "Damn! I forgot about the training part!" She quickly started another email.

To: EmeraldLies, YellowCries, FireNeverDies, OceanSighs

From: GoldenAmethystEyes

Subject: Sorry. This one is training.

Sorry girls, I clicked the 'send' button before realizing that I forgot the training part.

Well, I haven't had the time to really train. Though I have noticed that my psychic 'hackles' raise around certain people, like when I exited the plane I bumped into a short guy with dark hair dressed in a dark blue shirt with sunglasses. He also looked familiar but I can't place him...

She sat back as she remembered her encounter with the dark haired guy. Something was tickling at the back of her mind. She concentrated on it, forcing the memory to the foreground of her mind. When she did she nearly fell out of her chair. She got back in control of her senses and started to type furiously on her keyboard.

...Holy SHIT! I was just thinking and I remembered. I got the feeling from him that I got from the demon. When I look closer at the image of him in my mind, the only difference about him is that he looks human now, but I'm sure it's him! What should I do? Do you think he's weak from being out of Hell for so long? And that's why he is in a human form? Do you think I should try to bind him? That is if I see him again? Please email me back.

Love yall

Trina-Kat

She sat back again and read through the email, making sure she didn't leave anything out and remembered that she did. She started typing again.

PS: The two guys I mentioned, I found the power of Earth in Shuichi and a little of Wind in Yusuke. Do you think maybe they're potentials for starting a circle? I know they're guys but, it's there. Or don't you wan't me to start a circle here? Get back soon. Bye.

She sighed as she hit the send button, sure she didn't leave anything out. Katrina looked at the clock and sighed again. "Bedtime. It's a weekened and I still have a bedtime, it's soo embarrasing, not to mention that I'm seventeen almost eighteen. Oh well."

A brassy blonde girl dressed in a purple spagetti strap shirt with a longsleeved fishnet shirt over it, a dark green plaid pleated short skirt and leather calf high buckled boots walked into the bakery. Shuichi looked up from the register. "Hello, how may weee...wow. Katrina?" he asked stunned.

The girl was indeed Katrina, decked out in her glory with an adjustible choker with a small purple tear drop pendent, a white leather studded cuff on her right wrist, several black, blue and purple plastic bracelets and a hemetite and onyx bead bracelets on her left wrist. Her make up was dark purple, green and blue eyeshadow, light rose blush and muted nuetral color lipstick. Her hair, normally fluffed at the edges to give a Final Fantasy VIII Selphie-like style, was now moused into the 'sex-hair' style.

She smiled, saying "I thought I would shock you Shuichi."

Shuichi nodded. "You certainly did. What are you doing dressed like that going around town by yourself?" he asked incredulously.

Katrina shrugged and said "I'm not totally defenseless." She gestured to her boots. "These things are steel toed. And if I'm jumped, I'm flexible enough to kick high in any direction, and my favorite move for attackers is kicking them in the balls."

Kurama blanched. -The girl's blunt.-

He was distracted when Yusuke walked into the store. "Hey, Ku-wow..." Yusuke said as he stared at the girl. "Kat?" Katrina nodded. Yusuke just laughed. "You know how to shock."

He shook his head again and turned back to Shuichi. "Yeah, can you get off? I was wondering if you wanted to visit the grandma's shrine?"

Shuichi shook his head. "No I can't get off."

Katrina started to walk out. "Well, I guess I'll go try to entertain myself. Bye."

Yusuke caught a meaningful look from Kurama. He caught up with the girl. "Hey! Why don't you come with me? Grandma's always likes visitors," he lied.

Katrina thought about it then nodded. "Yeah, why not."

The two left. Kurama sighed. "I wonder if the kick-in-the-balls method would work on youkai? Good thing Yusuke is with her."
