Yusuke: Where's the ice cream cake you promised me?

 

mukuro5: I didn't promise you it. I promised Hiei the ice cream cake so he would get rid of you guys. My mom is starting to wonder who I'm talking to in my room all the time. I'm sure she wouldn't be happy to know I have four guys in my room.

 

Yusuke: Why not?

 

mukuro5: -sweat drop- Never mind.

 

I don't own Yu Yu Hakusho just Kelly and Tony

Chapter 2: The News

Kelly started towards her house when she noticed an unwanted visitor sitting on the second step of her home's stoop.

“What are you doing here? Are you stalking me now?” Kelly asked, trying to stay polite but failing for the most part.

“Sorry I disappeared on you before, but I needed to make sure you were the one,” Kuronue explained, looking at her.

“You're weird. Just leave.”

“I can't.”

“If you don't leave now I'll call the police.”

“Who are you talking to?” asked a familiar male's voice.

Kelly turned around to see David Fisher sitting on his bike with his left leg keeping him propped up. He looked at her with a curious expression. It was weird for him to see Kelly yelling at absolutely nothing.

“Don't you…You don't see anyone else here, do you?” Kelly asked.

“No, I can't say I can,” David answered.

“Kelly, come set the table,” ordered Kelly's mother again.

“Sorry. I have to go,” Kelly said, turning back around.

“I'll see you tomorrow,” David said, riding off down the sidewalk.

Kelly walked up to Kuronue. She took the first step and then the second. When she placed her right hand on the black latch of the screen door Kuronue started to speak again.

“I'm your imaginary friend,” Kuronue said, looking up at Kelly.

Kelly looked down at him with some frustration. All she could do was clutch her left hand into a fist as she looked into his violet eyes. Kuronue just sat there looking at her seriously. This made Kelly even more ticked off.

“Kurawan, or whatever your name is, I'm in middle school! I don't have an imaginary friend! I never have!” Kelly stated.

Kelly opened the door and walked in. She walked through the living room that was right across from the stairs that lead to the second floor. As she walked into the semi good-sized kitchen she put her smile back on her face.

She went to the cabinet that was closest to the stairs. She opened it up and took out three white plates and three baby blue bowls.

“What took you so long, sweet heart?” asked a mid-back brown haired woman.

“Sorry, Mom. I was talking to some friends,” Kelly replied.

“Your father and I have something to tell you at dinner.”

“Okay,” Kelly answered, walking into the dinning room that was through the left door way.

Dinner was uncomfortably quiet. Kelly wanted to ask what they needed to tell her, but she chose not to. Just as she placed a spoonful of mashed potatoes into her mouth her mother started to speak.

“Kelly, sweet heart, your father and I have decided on something,” Kelly's mother started out with.

“Yes, we have decided that you would be better off in a private school,” said a man with short, messy blond hair.

Kelly almost chocked on her food. She swallowed quickly, but they continued on.

“Your college application would look great with this well renown private school,” her mother explained.

“Mother, you can't do this! What about my friends? What about my studies?” Kelly argued.

“We'll do the transfer over the weekend. Tomorrow will be your last day at Sariask Junior High.”

“It is what's best for you,” Kelly's father stated.

“Yes, Father…Yes, Mother,” Kelly agreed sadly.

That night Kelly lay in her bed staring at the ceiling. Even the unwanted voice of Kuronue in the middle of the night didn't affect her. She just laid in the still darkness of her room until the first rays of light came through the window to the right of her bed.

The next morning, like always, Sarah waited at the end of Kelly's driveway. But today Kelly didn't come walking out with a smile. She was looking at the ground as she walked up to Sarah.

“What's wrong, Kelly?” Sarah asked as they started towards the school.

“I'm transferring schools. I start at my new school Monday,” Kelly answered.

“Are you seri!?” Sarah basically screamed.

“Yeah. Today's my last day.”

“No way! What school are you going to?”

“I didn't catch the name. It's some stuck-up private school.”

“Sarah! Kelly! Hey!” yelled Tony as he waved at them from a distance.

“What's wrong with you?” Tony asked as Kelly and Sarah stopped in front of him.

“She's transferring schools,” Sarah answered.

“No way!”

“It's true,” Kelly backed up Sarah.

“Dang. When are you leaving?”

“I'm starting Monday.”

“So this is your last day?”

“Yes.”

Just as everything was said and done the school's starting bell rang. Tony and Kelly walked into the main doors as Sarah walked around the building.

“What's wrong with you? You didn't even tell me to go away last night,” Kuronue stated, walking behind Kelly down the white tile hall.

“Why should I tell you? You're not even real,” Kelly answered.

“Cause it's going to be boring following around a depressed person all day.”

“Just go away.”

“I told you I can't.”

“Then don't talk to me during class,” Kelly ordered, grabbing the doorknob to Miss Kitchem's room.

The day passed with no excitement, but Kuronue still sat on the cooling system. Kelly ignored him though, and Kuronue didn't talk to her all class.

Lunch came rather fast that day. Tony and Kelly sat next to the farthest window. Kuronue decided to stay so he sat on the table next to where Kelly was sitting.

“I can't believe you're leaving,” Tony finally spoke up.

“Yeah, I know. Oh, well. There's nothing we can do,” Kelly said, eating some more macaroni and cheese.

“Where are you going?” Kuronue asked, looking at Kelly as he took another bit of an apple.

Kelly just ignored Kuronue's question. Just as it got quiet again Yusuke and Kuwabara walked up behind Kelly. Tony looked at them a bit curious. He knew who they were since rumors spread like wild fire at that school.

“Hey, Kelly,” Kuwabara greeted.

Kelly turned around to two familiar faces and one unfamiliar. This girl had short brown hair and wore the girl's school uniform. She looked kind of familiar but not too much.

“Hello, Yusuke and Kazuma,” Kelly greeted.

“This is Keiko Yukimura,” Kuwabara said, gesturing to the new girl.

“She's in my third block. She sits in front of me,” Keiko stated.

“Yes. Hello, Keiko,” Kelly said.

“Rumor is `Ms. Hotshot's leavin' for some prep school'. Is it true?” Yusuke asked.

“For the most part. Do you want to eat with us?”

“Sure,” Kuwabara answered, sitting at the table.

Yusuke and Keiko took two of the three chairs left. The rest of the lunch was interesting. Yusuke and Kuwabara got into several little fights.

“So you really are popular. I thought you were just saying that,” Kuronue spoke up.

“Be quiet, Kuronue. I'm not in the mood,” Kelly said, taking another bit of her food.

The entire table looked at her. Kelly noticed this before realizing she was talking to herself in their eyes.

“Who's Kuronue?” Yusuke asked.

“No one! Sorry. I'm just out of it,” Kelly answered.

Lunch came and went by fast. Of course, so did the rest of the day. Even tough Kelly was upset it was great to have new friends. She never noticed before but Yusuke and Kuwabara were in her last class of the day.

The bell rang and in seconds the school was filing out of the school. Yusuke and Kuwabara walked Kelly to the gates. Tony and Sarah soon met up with them. Keiko was the last to show up.

“See ya. I guess, I'll see you all when I see you,” Kelly said.

“Come on, Kelly. Let's get going,” Sarah said.

With that everyone but Tony went left from the school. Kelly didn't care since she didn't mind the extra company. The only thing Kelly didn't want was the constant bickering and Kuronue chatting away.

Soon they came upon the light blue house. Kelly said a short good-bye before heading inside. Sarah and the others continued down the sidewalk. Kelly walked in and went up the stairs to her room. She shut her door and quietly sat on her bed. Kuronue looked around her room.

The room was pretty good size. It had a black computer to the left when you walk in the room. The bed was on the other side of the room. The walls were white with a hint of soft yellow. A dresser was directly across from the door. It was white with silver handles and photos on top of it. Then the carpet was a sky blue.

“Your room is different from what I expected,” Kuronue announced.

“Kuronue, please don't bother me,” Kelly asked of him.

The weekend passed by quickly. Now it was Monday and time to go to the new school.

“Kelly, come down! I have your new uniform!” called Kelly's mother.

Kelly got out of bed and looked around her room. She didn't see Kuronue so she walked down the stairs in her blue PJs that had puppies on them.

“Isn't it adorable?” Kelly's mother said, holding up a magenta color shirt with a yellow strips going down the middle with matching magenta pants.

“No skirt?” Kelly asked.

“It's the male's outfit.”

“They make guys wear this? What a weird school,” Kelly voiced her opinion as she walked up the stairs with the outfit.

“We're leaving in five so hurry up, sweet heart.”

“Okay, Mom.”

Kelly closed her door quietly so not to wake her father. She brushed her hair and her teeth in the bathroom attached to her room. She put off putting on the silly uniform till the last second.

Kelly came walking down the stairs with her book bag slumped over her shoulder after exactly five minutes. Kelly and her mother walked out the door. The school was within walking distance so they didn't take the car.

“You'll love this school,” Kelly's mother said cheerfully.

“Of course, Mother,” Kelly responded.

“Hey, Kelly,” came a punkish voice.

Kelly and her mother turned around to see Kuwabara and Yusuke. A smile came to Kelly's face for the first time that morning. Her mother smiled as well, but only to be polite. She hoped these two wasn't her daughter's friends since they looked like the wrong type of people.

“Hello, Kazuma. Hi, Yusuke,” Kelly greeted.

“So your new school is still in walking distance?” Kuwabara asked.

“Yes…Oh! Sorry. Mother, this is Yusuke Urameshi and Kazuma Kuwabara. They are some friends from school…my old school,” Kelly said, introducing them.

“Nice to meet you,” Kelly's mother said, “I'm Helen Smort.”

“Sorry, guys, but we have to head off,” Kelly stated.

“Okay. See ya. Oh, by the way nice outfit,” Kuwabara said.

“Thanks. It's my new school outfit.”

After that they went their separate ways. And soon after that Kelly and Helen got to her new school. It looked pretty big, but nothing special.

“Come on. Don't want to be too late,” Helen said, walking up to the front doors.

Kelly followed her all the way to the office. They walked in and up to the front desk.

“Yes? How may I help you?” asked a middle-aged woman with short black hair, wearing dark framed glasses.

“Yes, I called a few days ago and got my daughter enrolled. My name's Helen Smort and my daughter is Kelly Smort,” Helen explained.

“Oh, yes. The Smort girl. Take the door to your right and the principal's office is the second door on the left,” the woman said.

“Thank you.”

They did as she instructed them and took the door to their right. They stopped at the second door and knocked. It only took a few seconds for an answer to be heard.

“Come in,” said a male's voice.

They walked into a good-sized office with two red leather chairs that sat in front of an oak desk. A man with a full head of gray hair sat in the black chair behind the desk.

“Are you the Smorts?” the man asked.

“Yes, Principal Fushigi,” Helen answered.

“Good. I've heard many good things about you, Miss Kelly.”

“Thank you, Sir. I'm very glad to be able to come to this great school,” Kelly said politely.

A knock was heard. Kelly and Helen turned to the door.

“Come in,” Principal Fushigi said.

The door opened at the request and in walked a teen boy with mid-back red hair and green eyes. Kelly, right off, smiled genuinely at him.

“That hair is like Sarah's,” Kelly thought.

“Ahh, Mr. Minamino. Thank you for helping,” Fushigi said.

“It is no trouble. I am happy to help out. Is this her?” the boy asked.

“Yes. Miss Kelly, this is Shuichi Minamino. He will show you around the school and show you your classes. He is one of the brightest students of our school.”

“It's a pleasure to meet you, Ms. Smort. Miss Kelly.”

“Nice to meet you, too. I guess I'll be leaving now. Bye, sweet heart,” Helen said, leaving the room.

“Mr. Minamino, please show Miss Smort to her first class,” Fushigi said, going back to writing something.

“Yes, Sir. Follow me, Miss Smort,” Kurama said, starting out the door.

Kelly silently followed Kurama out of the Principal's office and into the hallway. He looked back at Kelly with a fake smile that could pass off as a genuine one.

“Miss Smort, what is your first class?” Kurama asked.

“Call me Kelly, and it's social studies.”

“Well, Miss Kelly, I guess we have the same first class,” Kurama said with another false smile.

“He's way too polite. What's his deal?” Kelly thought, giving Kurama the same false smile back.

So with that, they headed off to the room. Kelly followed behind Kurama so she could think without being asked what she's thinking about. Kurama just continued to walk down the hall. All the sudden Kurama stopped in front of a white door. Kelly about ran into him but stopped a few inches away. Kurama turned to her with a fake smile.

They walked into a quiet class. Kelly was surprised cause it was never this quiet at her old school. Kurama shut the door and walked up to the black-headed teacher. Kelly looked around the class. Every eye was on her. Even though she wanted them to stop staring at her she just smiled.

“Yes. Thank you, Mr. Minamino. Miss Smort, take a seat behind Mr. Tokanoko. Mr. Tokanoko, raise your hand,” ordered the teacher.

A boy with short blond hair wearing the same outfit as Kelly raised his hand. Kelly nodded at the teacher before taking her seat. As it would be, Kurama took his seat that was to the right of Kelly's.

The day passed in the same way. Kelly had all but one class with Kurama and that was P.E. She even had lunch with him. Even though it was kind of weird for Kelly she was glad not to have to eat lunch alone.

The bell rang for the dismissal of school. Kelly made sure to be one of the first out of the building. She started running as soon as she hit the outside world. Few people paid mind to it, and even fewer people put in their minds that she was crazy.

Kelly didn't stop running or slow down till she reached her home. She looked at her flowers and noticed the rose she started to fix was healing. So she decided to tend to it a bit more.

“Hey, Kelly! How was your first day of school?” came Sarah's voice.

Kelly looked up to see Sarah and Tony standing next to her. Sarah had on a smile while Tony grinned. Kelly stood up and put her arms on their shoulders.

“It was okay. I missed you guys though. Hey, Sarah, guess what? You're not the only red head I know now,” Kelly answered.

“So you already met new friends?” Tony asked, losing his grin and gaining a frown.

“Well, I'm not sure. He was assigned to show me around the school. He has the same color hair as you, Sarah. And he has Tony's smarts.”

“Everyone was asking where you went off to. Some rumors went around that you got hitched or got pregnant. Stupid people saying stupid things,” Sarah replied.

“Hello, Miss Kelly,” came a new familiar voice.

Kelly gave a shallow sigh before turning around. There, standing at the end of her driveway, was Kurama, Yusuke, and Kuwabara. Kelly smiled and waved. So the three walked over to Sarah, Tony, and Kelly.

“You know her, Kurama?” Kuwabara asked.

“Kurama? I thought your name was Shuichi Minamino,” Kelly stated.

“It's a nickname they gave me,” Kurama answered.

“So, Kelly, I'm guessing by the school uniform that you're going to Shuichi's school now,” Yusuke said, looking at the outfit Kelly was wearing.

“Yes. I didn't know you three knew each other though,” Kelly answered.

“Yeah,” Kuwabara said.

Kurama noticed some strange aura. He looked around for a second while the others talked. After he scanned the surrounding area he didn't see anything, but he knew something was watching them.

“Sorry, Kelly, but we're in a hurry. See ya later,” Yusuke said, walking down the sidewalk.

“Bye, Yusuke, Kazuma, and Shuichi!” Kelly said waving.

“We better head off, too. How about we go to the arcade tomorrow?” Tony asked.

“That sounds great,” Sarah blurred out.

“Sure,” Kelly agreed.

Soon Kelly was alone again. She turned to face her front door when she noticed something.
