Five years later, Yuka's age; 15

Yuka's POV

"So I'm starting school Wednesday?"

"Exactly!" I look at Auntie Ume. She smiles. We've moved to this town, since Auntie's job tranferred here. I have to start a new school, during the middle of the school year! (sigh) I walk up the stairs with some boxes. I know these are my boxes, since I marked them. I groan as I sit on the ground. My bed isn't up here, but I don't care.

"Yuka, you think you could help me with the kitchen stuff?" Auntie asks.

"One sec!" I sit up and run out of my soon-to-be room. I'm in the kitchen, staring at Auntie. She's taking stuff out of the boxes, always sighing exasperately when the wrong things come out of it.

"Hey Auntie, I'll get the right boxes. Those two are your stuff, and those other three boxes are for the bathroom." She giggles.

"I should just let you unpack everything!" Like she'd ever do that. I get the kitchen things and give on box to Auntie. "Yuka, sweetie, you can just go unpack your things for your room. I just needed the boxes." I shrug and leave.

"I'll call you when I need help," she tells me.

"OK!" I run into my room and sit on the floor again. I unpack things at snail's pace, sighing.

"Hmm?" I unpack Red! I hug him. I haven't seen him since... That day... I put him in my lap and unpack more things, feeling a stabbing pain on my scar. I lift up my shirt slightly and look at it, the scar where I got shot.

"I don't give a damn if she lives."

"I don't give a damn if she lives." That echoes in my head. I'm not allowed to see her ever again, as well as Dad. Not because he's not allowed to see me, but because he can't. I miss him.

"Hn." Oh damn it! That boy! With the cool hair. Huh. I want to strangle him now. I don't even want to why.

"Yuka!"

"I'm comin'!" I run out of my room and fly down the stairs.

"I need to go grocery shopping. Wanna tag along?"

"Tch. I'm unpacking my things. You go ahead." She cocks her head and gives me the sad puppy dog eyes. I hate that look. Why? Because I fall for it everytime! I groan.

"Fine, but because you made me see my weakness." She smiles big and hugs me.

"To the store!"

"Question." She stops and stares at me.

"Yes?"

"Where's the store?" She has hopeful eyes.

"Who knows?! It's gonna be an adventure finding it!" I love her for that. It's strange to know my plum blossom(1) auntie is related to my mom.

...

"Are we there yet?" I ask for the millionth time. Auntie Ume groans.

"I don't know." She finally screeches to a stop. "Here's a store." I look at the store and shrug. I get out of the car, as well as Auntie.

"Let's go!" she said confidently, charging into the store. I follow her. "So what's for supper tonight?" Auntie asks, looking around the aisles as she steers the cart. I shrug.

"Whatever you want." Uh oh! Nature calls! "Auntie, can I go to the bathroom?" I ask frantically.

"Yes. Hurry up!" she says, pointing to the restrooms. I run into the girls' bathroom and go into a stall. I need to go. I relieve myself and walk out of the stall, after flushing, of course. I wash my hands and look around. Just like a store bathroom, clean. (sigh)

"Hawuka, when can I get ice cweam?" Hawuka? Weird name. Wait... Cweam? Cream. Hawuka? Haruka? ... Coincidence! It's just a coinci-

"When I go to the bathroom, Ashkii." Ashkii?! Haruka?! ... Coincidence... I leave the bathroom before anything happens. I look around, wondering where Auntie was. I immediately stop when I see him!

"Fox- It's Shuichi, Hiei." Hiei? Weirder name... Wait, I remembered why I stopped! It's that stalker with the weird hair! I look at who the stalker's with, and I could feel myself heat up. He has a hot friend! He has long, red hair, green, green eyes, and a masculine voice. The boy, Hiei, glanced at me, and did a double take. He turned and left.

"Hiei, you could get lost!"

"Shut up, Fox!" Then, the man Hiei called 'Fox' started to laugh as he followed. I push my bangs out of my face by tucking them behind both my ears. I giggled to myself when I finally convinced Auntie to let me grow my hair, and even put lime green streaks in my hair.

"Arghh! I'll allow it because I always wanted to see you do it!" Auntie yelled, trying to be frustrated, but was failing.

"Hey." I jump and turn. (sigh)

"Hi Auntie. I was looking for you," I tell her. She was a perverted smirk glued on her face.

"I saw you checking out those two boys," she says in a taunting voice. "And denying won't unconvince me, because you're blushing." Damn it! "Go and talk to them."

"No thank you. I'd like to remain unfamiliar to both of them," I tell her sheepishly. She pokes my cheek.

"Liar!" she says in a sing-songy voice. (groan)

"OK, but I'm too embarrassed to talk to them," I tell her, a bit irritated. She pushes me with the cart towards them. The hot one was reading a magazine while Hiei was just kicking him, trying to leave.

"Bye!" Auntie left, to pay for the stuff she got.

"I'm so gonna annoy her when we get in the car," I vow. I start walking, thinking about ways to annoy Auntie when I bump into the stalker.

"Hey, watch it!"

"You watch it, you fucking stalker!" I leave then, almost laughing out loud when the hot one stared at Hiei funny. Hiei glared at me that says, 'You better hope I don't know where you live'! I burst out laughing when I got to Auntie Ume.

"What's so funny?" she asks, that perverted smirk still glued.

"T-the joke they told me," I lied. I kept giggling as we left. Hiei glared at me while his friend stared at me. They were curious. I bumped into a bagger, making him chuckle while Hiei kept sending me death glares. Someone was laughing. I looked and saw a teen with raven hair.

"Geez, what's with the shirt?" he asks. My shirt on the front said, 'I'm not afraid of death! What's it gonna do? Kill me'?

"What's wrong with it?" I ask, a little pissed. He looks at me with a serious look. Auntie stared at me.

"Come on, Yuka." I was about to leave when that boy grabbed my wrist.

"What?!" I ask, annoyed.

"Your name's Yuka. My name's Yusuke." I smack his hand and leave.

"Whatever." When I put the food in the trunk, Auntie gives me a funny look. "Yeah?"

"My niece knows how to get boys." I blush.

"Shusha!" I don't know why I say 'Shusha'. Force of habit, I guess. I look back at the store and see that Hiei, Yusuke, and Cutie are gone. (sigh) I guess it was never meant to be.

JJ: (1) The name Ume in Japanese means Plum blossom.

DT: Yay! Yuka finally met Kurama!

JJ: No she didn't. She calls him 'the hot one' or 'Cutie'. She doesn't know his name yet!

DT: Way to ruin the moment.

JJ: I know, right?? :D

DT: OK, I can't wait til-

JJ: NO SPOILERS, DAMN IT!!

DT: ARGHH!!

DT: SHUDDUP JJ!!

JJ: HAH!! YOU OUGHTA KNOW I DON'T LISTEN TO PEOPLE!! AND THAT I HAVE A SHORT ATTENTION SPAN- Oooh! Shiny! :D
