Wow, I didn't really think I would get this chap up so fast. Anyway, thanks to all who reviewed. I'm glad to hear what people think of the story. I'm having a great time doing this story and hearing what other people think. I'm really starting to like Maya as my main character (I hope you guys do too. Tell me what you think.) The story is about to kick up so here goes!

Looking out the window I saw bright headlights break through the somber night. I let out a sigh seeing the curvaceous figure of Noriko. I grabbed my simple brown jacket and put on the fakest smile I could. I flung the door open and made my way to Noriko's car. She greeted me with a huge hug.
"Hey Maya, I'm so happy to see you!"
"Hey Noriko," I said with the same enthusiasm. "Great to see you too!"
We both pulled away, I couldn't help but stare at Noriko's outfit. It had to be the most sluttish thing I have ever seen. She had a blood red tube top that hugged her chest to tight making her boobs look like they would explode. She wore to much make up, and was wearing a too short white mini skirt that revealed her long legs, and she had at least five inch stilettos letting her tower over me, "You look um nice."
She looked at me strangely, "Thanks, is that what you're wearing?"
Unconsciously my eyes looked myself over. I didn't have anything fancy just a simple pair of jeans and flats. I had a nice lacy sleeveless shirt and had a little bit of eye shadow and mascara. I thought I looked pretty.
"Is something wrong with it?"
"No, you just look really boring."
Boring! At least I don't look like a prostitute. I smiled at her, "We should get going."
She smiled back, "Alright let's go have some fun!"
It didn't take long to reach the party. It was at some random person's house whose name I quickly forgot. The party was loud blasting my eardrums until they felt like they blew. There were lights of every color of the rainbow pulsating around. It was way over crowded with people I had never seen before. I felt extremely out of place with all the other people talking, and dancing. I didn't notice that someone was tapping on my shoulder. I turned to see Kenta yelling something over the blaring music.
"What?" I shouted.
"This party is pretty cool, huh!"
"I guess!" I answered back. I turned to say something to Noriko about how loud the music was, but she was already socializing with a bunch of guys. Great, I was left by myself with Kenta. I noticed again Kenta trying to talk to me over the music.
"What did you say?"
"I said how do you like the city?"
"It's definitely interesting." I couldn't tell him that I was seeing creatures and was almost killed by one. Yup, that would be a very weird answer even if it's true.
"I'm glad you like." He gave me a huge smile.
I couldn't help but smile back. Unlike Noriko I could actually tolerate him. He didn't care about what I wore or how I act; he was here just to be a friend. It was very kind of him.
I was about to say something when a guy I didn't recognize beckoned him to come over to him with some other guys. He looked at me with uncertain eyes.
"Go, you know how unsociable I am." I gave him a genuine smile.
He gave a nod and made his way to his friends. I felt nervous for being here with all these people. Surprisingly it wasn't because I sensed something but because I was in an environment where I didn't know anybody. I once again searched for Noriko only to see her doing a dirty dance with one of the guys she was talking earlier. This was really a dirty dance it was probably banned from almost every party in the world.
I rolled my eyes; maybe I should go introduce myself to some people. But, everyone seemed to be occupied with either dancing, or they're friends. I was a master at being a wall flower, and found joy in just watching people.
I noticed two guys totally killing the snack table. They just kept hounding down the food. One, who was tall and burly with a pretty cool hairstyle yelled at the other, because he ate the last finger sandwich. The other who had black hair just said something that made the tall one mad and start trying to fight him. But, the black haired one got the other in a headlock and gave him a noogie. They both started to laugh. I couldn't help but laugh with them; they somehow could have a good time.
There was a gust of wind from the two guy's direction that stopped my laugh. I could feel immense power radiating off them. Instead of feeling scared I was almost curious. The power didn't feel like any of the other monsters I've encountered. There was something particularly interesting about the black haired one…
"Excuse me," I turned to be staring into violet eyes. "Is your name Maya Kitajima?"
I was speechless. The guy was absolutely handsome. His violet eyes were slightly framed by blue hair. He was tall but not burly like the guy with the crazy hairstyle. He had on simple jeans and a button up shirt, but somehow he looked like a model.
I quickly found my voice, "Yeah, my name's Maya and yours."
"I'm sorry, I didn't introduce myself. My name is Shinji." I was amazed that I could hear him over the music. He extended his hand, I hesitantly grabbed it. A shock went through once our hands connected. I drew back. He had an apologetic look on his face, "Sorry about that." I just nodded. A question popped into my head.
"Why are you talking to me?" I thought it was a fair question. I was supposed to be the wall flower unnoticed and not cared about.
"Well, you are the reason for this party are you not? I just thought I would say hello and welcome back." He gave a smile fit for a god.
"Ok." That was the best I could say. I thought of Shuichi briefly but shoved the thought aside. I was here to have a good time not worry about him.
"That's very nice of you to talk to me."
"I didn't know that the hostess of the party would be so pretty," I blushed. "I'm very happy that I meant you Maya." He chuckled seeing my face go a deeper shade of pink.
He looked away for a second and smiled. "Like I said, I'm very happy that I met you, but I have to leave now. I have to attend to another matter."
"B-b-bye." My face was still hot. He nodded and made his way through the crowd, but he wasn't heading for the door. Instead he seemed to be going to the two guys I saw at the snack table. They both did not look happy anymore, they were both staring down Shinji. Were they going to fight him? That would be very bad. I watched all three make their way through the crowd and up the steps to the second floor. My body moved and I was already pushing through the crowd and up the steps.
It was dark with the ray of the moon coming through a hallway window. I tried the first door only to find a couple making out. I shut the door quickly and continued down the hall. I then heard faint voices at the end of hallway. I reached the doorknob and turned it slowly. I pushed it slowly and looked in.
The two snack table guys were in front of me staring down Shinji. Shinji had a calm face and didn't seem in anyway distressed. The black haired guy spoke, "You didn't answer my question. I'll ask you again nicely before I beat it out of you."
"That wouldn't be wise Yusuke starting a fight while at a party." He smiled.
"C'mon Urameshi, we can take this guy. His energy is really weak."
"You don't even know the half of my power," Shinji said with a sly smile. "You're both lucky I have to mask it." The Yusuke guy and the burly dude glared at him.
"You must be very foolish thinking that I would run around flaunting my powers like you."
Yusuke growled, "You better shut your mouth or I just might have to rip your tongue out." The air seemed to become more dangerous.
Shinji wagged his finger. "Tsk tsk, the feared Yusuke Urameshi has a temper."
"Hey! I'm just as feared as Urameshi! I'm the Great Kazuma Kuwabara!"
"Oh how silly of me to forget his sidekick." Kazuma flared his nostrils.
I really didn't understand what was going on, but I could clearly see Yusuke and Kazuma beginning to lose their patience.
"Now, let's not lose it here," Shinji said silkily." Maya might get hurt."
Yusuke and Kazuma turned to notice me with a surprised look on my face. I opened the door fully and walked into the room. All eyes were on me and I felt extremely self conscious.
"What's she doing up here?" Kazuma said surprised.
"You're both here to keep an eye on her, yet you can't seem to even know where she is. You're both too juvenile for this."
"You must really want to lose your tongue." Yusuke said threateningly.
"Maya," He looked straight into my eyes. "I know you have a great gift. You have an exceptional amount of spirit energy in you. I know you're scared and not sure what to do with it; I can help you understand it. You don't have to be scared anymore."
It was like this guy was answering my pleas for comfort and help. He was right; I was scared of this power of being able to see and sense things. He was saying he could help me, but why am I so hesitant?
"Leave her out of this." Yusuke said standing in front of me." I know you're part of the reason why people have gone missing." I looked at Shinji with a confused expression. He was only another human being what could he know?
"Yes Maya, I am human. And for Yusuke's question, why would an ex Spirit World Detective want to know about what I do." I was stuck on how he knew what I was thinking, that I didn't notice Yusuke get into a fighting position.
"That's it play times over."
"Now you're talking Urameshi." Kazuma said while a huge amount of energy was forming in his hands.
Shinji laughed, "So much fire in those eyes and very head strong. You have so much power… now I see why Doc wanted you Yusuke. I must say I'm envious."
Yusuke was about to say something when just in a blink of an eye Shinji disappeared.
"Where did he go?" Kazuma said searching the room.
Yusuke sighed. "That went…well," he turned and faced me. "Well, I guess you're wondering what the hell happened just now. Let me introduce myself, I'm Yusuke Urameshi, ex Spirit Detective."
That's it for this chappie. Please Review!!!!
