Chapter 2
Yusuke walked down a busy shopping street with his hands in his pockets. He had nothing to do and he hadn't heard anything from Boton or Koenma since the other day.
"Stupid baby's probably finding something that'll get me killed, again." He kicked a rock on the ground and turned the corner.
"Oof!" he walked straight into someone and fell to the ground "Hey, watch where you're going!" He brushed himself and stood up.
"You should watch where you're going, Yusuke!" a high voice retorted.
Yusuke whipped around to see Keiko with her hands on her hips. She was glaring a hole in Yusuke's head. A girl stood next to her, slightly in the shadow of an overhang, holding in a laugh.
"I suppose you think this is funny" he shot at her, fists clenching.
"That's no way to talk to someone you've never even met!" Keiko glared at him "If you had bothered to show up at school today you'd know she just moved here!"
"Its okay" the girl smiled. She looks familiar… Yusuke thought "It doesn't look like he could hurt me much anyway" The last words hung in the air, their tone still ringing out. Yusuke suddenly felt light headed, but shook his head to clear it. He glanced at Keiko, who hadn't gotten off so easily. She seemed frozen, confusion all over her face.
"Keiko!" Yusuke shouted, starting for her, but an arm flew out to stop him "What did you do to her?" He screamed at the girl in the shadows.
"She's fine" she said calmly, lowering her arm "It'll only last a few seconds, so please shut up." She stepped out of the shadows. It was Anne.
"What are you doing here?" he asked puzzled. After the "meeting" they had all gone their separate ways, Kurama and Hiei had headed deeper into the forest, Kuwabara and Yusuke had walked towards town, and Anne went back the way she came from. Yusuke still wasn't sure if she was a demon or not.
"I was hanging out with Keiko" she only half explained "But now that you're here I need to warn you" Anne gave a cautious glance at Keiko "There's someone not too far away. I think it's a demon, and it's powerful"
"What?" Yusuke exclaimed "How can you tell?"
"I can hear it" Keiko was almost back to normal now "Be careful, and remember, you don't know me" Anne stepped back into the shadows and her face changed back to amusement as Keiko's changed to anger.
"Yusuke this is Anne" she said, still fuming, Anne smiled.
"I just moved here from the States" Yusuke could hardly believe how quickly she changed from a warning messenger to a cocky schoolgirl. That made Yusuke notice he wasn't the only one that didn't obey the dress codes. Keiko was in her uniform, and Anne wasn't.
"We're going shopping" Keiko said "Why don't you come with?" Her voice told him saying no wouldn't be smart. He grumbled a reply and Keiko took off with Anne and Yusuke behind her, neither looking very excited about shopping.
"You know," Yusuke began as Keiko stepped into a clothing store "For hanging out you don't look too happy"
"Shopping isn't my thing" Anne rolled her eyes "The only reason I haven't left is because you'd probably ditch her too"
He gave a nervous laugh as Keiko stepped out of the dressing room. She wore a short red skirt and a matching blouse.
"How does this look?" she asked, giving the skirt a little twirl.
"You don't want my opinion" Anne smiled. She was wearing jeans and a t-shirt, again.
"Hmm" Keiko looked in the mirror "Let's go to the next store" She walked back into the dressing room. Yusuke groaned and Anne laughed and elbowed him in the gut.
Five stores later Keiko finally had an outfit and the three were walking to the park.
"Well, I guess I should leave you two alone" Anne grinned slyly.
"What?" Yusuke and Keiko both exclaimed. Anne opened her mouth to tease them, but instead shouted
"Watch out!" she shoved the two into the wall as a giant stone block fell down.
"What the hell was that?" Someone called out.
Right above where Yusuke and the girls had been standing was a huge hole in the side of a building. Rocks still fell down like a rain, but they were much smaller than the block that had nearly crushed the teenagers. Anne stepped away from the wall to check out the damage, but froze before she could look closer.
"Yusuke?" she whispered. Yusuke pulled up Keiko and looked at Anne. She was visibly pale.
"What's wrong?" Yusuke took a step closer to her. Keiko was too busy staring at the hole to notice him or the crowd growing around them.
"That guy I was talking about, he's here" Anne looked at him "And he's stronger than I thought, but…" she trailed off.
"Where?" Yusuke asked, calmed than he expected.
"Behind us" she closed her eyes "And it sounds like he's on a motorcycle"
"You can hear all that from Spirit Song?"
"No" she opened her eyes "I can hear someone revving their engine, which isn't a good idea right now unless you want to take credit for this" she pointed at the wall.
Yusuke nodded, Anne was smarter than she looked.
"Watch Keiko. I'll be right back" He turned around to see a man on a motorcycle, just like she said.
"Be careful" she nodded back and stepped closer to Keiko.
"Where's Yusuke?" Keiko asked absently. Shock, maybe. Anne thought.
"Something came up" Anne smiled at her "He'll be back as soon as he can"
"Oh" Keiko's eyes flashed disappointment then anger, but eventually just sighed "Alright"
Even then, Anne heard Yusuke and the mystery man's Songs move and another familiar one come closer.
"Keiko! Anne! What are you doing here?" Kuwabara called.
"Keiko was still staring with the rest of crowd, so Anne whispered,
"Something punched a hole in the building, and Yusuke's gone off with him"
"Urameshi did what?" Kuwabara exclaimed.
"Be quiet!" Anne hissed. She glanced around, but no one was listening.
"Who'd he go with?" he asked, quieter. His hand clenched in a fist, ready to summon his Sword if he needed to.
"I don't know." she shook her head. They could hear an ambulance and police cars in the distance, coming closer. Not that they could do much good.
