The Peculiar Girl
Chapter Two – The Gang is Back
Recap: That's right. Genkai.
About a month ago, Mari saved a girl, Yukina, from a group of demons trying to kidnap her. Fortunately, Mari knew some martial arts and saved her. Later on, Koenma told Mari about the three worlds and that she had potential to harness spirit energy, if she chose to. She accepted and since then, been Genkai's student. Yukina and Mari has become close friends and Mari knows basically all about all of the spirit detectives (thanks to Yukina), who are currently on a mission.
Anyway, moving on, Mari decided to go back to bed and get as much sleep as she could get before she went to Genkai's.
5:30 a.m. (3 hours and 30 minutes later)
Mari stood at the top of the many stairs she had just walked up. She was pretty, despite the hand print and bruise on her face. She had blue eyes and naturally wavy brownish-blond hair. She was petite and curvy. Genkai once told her that her opponents would think that she was fragile and that would be their downfall.
She entered Genkai's dojo and saw her sensei there as usual.
"What happened to your face?" Genkai asked.
'Should I tell her? She's like the mother I never had, but . . . it's not the time. But I can't lie to her . . .'
"Let's just say that . . . someone was mad at me," replied Mari.
Genkai looked at her as if she wanted more information, but didn't pry. "Shall we begin," she said as a statement and not a question. They both got into fighting stances and began.
Outside the dojo
"WHERE'S YUKINA! OH YUKINA MY LOVE! WHERE ARE YOU?" shouted Kuwabara. (AN- you probably saw that coming)
"Kuwabara, SHUT UP! It's about six-thirty in the morning! Do you expect anyone to be up?" said Yusuke. "Well, beside the old hag . . . but that's different!"
"I agree with Yusuke, Kuwabara," said Kurama. "Why again are we here this early? Couldn't we have come at a more decent hour?"
"I just couldn't wait to see my love!" Kuwabara said with stars in his eyes. "And plus, I bet Yukina's been waiting for my return!"
"Hn," said Hiei. "I bet she's been waiting for our return to tell her you died baka."
"HEY! DID YOU JUST INSULT ME, SHORTY!" yelled Kuwabak, um, I mean Kuwabara.
Hiei smirked and replied, "Hn, the buffoon realized I insulted him. Bravo, this is his first time."
Yusuke burst out laughing and watched as Kuwabara's face turned red.
"Now, now bo-
Kurama was cut off as all the boys turned to the abrupt opening of the doors and watched as two people still in combat moved outside.
'Who is that fighting Genkai?' the four boys wondered.
Back with Genkai and Mari
Mari blocked Genkai's kick and tried to strike Genkai, but was also blocked. All of a sudden, Genkai disappeared from her view and Mari quickly did a back flip, narrowly avoiding an uppercut. They both again got in their fighting stances, staring at each other until they both finally realized that people were watching them.
"That's enough for this morning," said Genkai.
"Hai (AN- meaning yes), sensei," replied Mari, dropping her stance and bowing.
Both of them turned to the four boys and started walking toward them. "So dimwit, do something right while you were gone?" said Genkai to Yusuke.
'So these are the spirit detectives Yukina is so fond of.'
"Of course, hag. I do everything right," replied Yusuke.
Hiei snorted and Kuwabara started laughing.
Kurama went up to Mari and said, "Excuse me for my friends' behavior. My name is-
"Kurama," said Mari. "Yukina has told me all about you four. I sorta feel like I know you all. my name is Marissa, but call me Mari. I'm currently Genkai's student."
"Sheesh," said Yusuke. "I feel sorry for you."
"Shut it dimwit," said Genkai. "She has determination and wants to learn unlike some idiot I've dealt with before."
"Hey!" said the "dimwit."
As the two bickered, the ice maiden made her appearance. "Mari! Is your training with Genkai over?" asked Yukina. She looked over to the commotion and a bigger smile lit her face. "You're all back!"
Kuwabara's eyes went googily and he went on his knees in front of Yukina and took her hands in his. "Oh Yukina, rejoice, for your beloved is here," said Kuwabara.
"Yeah Yukina," said Mari, ignoring Kuwabara. "Training's over for now. You know, they're exactly as you told me."
Yukina smiled sweetly until she noticed Mari's face. "What happened to you? Was that from training? Let me heal it," said Yukina.
Mari scratched the back of her head (AN- anime style), laughing a bit. "Don't worry Yukina! This is nothing!" 'Compared to all the other times . . .' "You worry too much, Yukina!"
Genkai, Kurama, and Hiei looked a little suspicious of her and glanced at each other before regaining their composures.
"I'm hungry! Can we eat?" said Kuwabara, breaking the silence.
"Sure."
