Yu Yu Hakusho Fan Fiction ❯ Just a Simple Friendship? ❯ It Started With a Simple Friendship ( Chapter 1 )

Sammy: Hi! This is another fic I started, starring you/Kurama! The other one is under construction for the time being, people thought it was too offensive…

Hans: So… instead of updating that one, you make a new one?

Sammy: Well… yea, I'll update that one sooner or later, I'm not really feeling it anymore, and anyways, I need to fix some things, enough about that one, this one won't be so angst, and this is how you and Kurama, or Shuicchi met, HI HO SILVER AWAY!!! Oh yeah, I don't own Yu Yu Hakusho, or any of the characters, all I own is Hans, and this story, and most probably the teacher, *shrugs* I don't know Shuicchi's teacher's name alright!?

*********************************THE PAST*****************************

"Class, we have a new student today! This is Miss ___ (Last name, then first name) ____, she just moved from America! Miss ____ (Last name) ____, would you like to say something about yourself?" you stepped up in front of the class with every bit of confidence you had, you were starting Junior high, and you didn't want to display fear now did you?

"Well, I was originally born here in Japan, and I have an older brother named Yuhi, we had to move to America when I was 8 because my dad received a big promotion, so we moved to a place called California, we studied English everyday, but we still had to speak Japanese to my parents, so we wouldn't forget it, and then, a couple of years later, we moved back to Japan."

You didn't explain why you moved back to Japan, you didn't want to, and you were hoping that no one would ask you why either, but some kid raised his hand and the teacher answered him.

"Yes Mr. Hino, what is your question?" the teacher asked, "Why did you move back to Japan?" he asked, you simply smiled, and shrugged it off. "I don't want to talk about it." The teacher looked at you, studying you, too bad you were stuck with the nosy Mrs. Itomara, who always got into everyone's business

"Does anyone else want to ask Miss. ______ a question?" no one raised there hands, good, you didn't really like anyone getting in my business, though you didn't have anything to hide.

"Well then, if no one has any questions, Miss _______, please take a seat next to Mr. Minamino." The teacher pointed to a kid with short red hair ((Kurama had short hair when he was in junior high, right?)) and a beautiful pair of green eyes, not that it mattered to you, you weren't the type to judge people by their looks, or fantasize about them, you need to get to know them first.

You walked over to the empty seat, while walking there, most girls were whispering stuff to each other, no doubt spreading rumors `Not much has changed.' You thought to yourself, when you finally sat down, this Minamino kid smiled at you, you smiled back, trying not to be rude.

"Konnichiwa, my name is Shuicchi, welcome back to Japan." He whispered softly so no one would hear, "Domo Arigatou." you said, while slightly bowing your head, at least he didn't call you `babe' or any other stupid pet names, and this was somewhat of a first to you.

But you could somehow sense that this boy was different, like, he had a double personality, you never knew why, but it's like you could sense these things and this boy was no normal boy, but hey, you I can't just scream in front of the class HEY THIS KID'S A DEMON RUN FOR YOUR LIVES! Even though you did do that once in the 4th grade, which earned you a trip to the principles office, and the kid wasn't even a demon.

You didn't realize you were staring, because Mrs. Itomara was yelling out your name, "Miss _____! This is not the correct way to start your first day of school! Now pay attention and get your mind out of the gutter!"

You quickly snapped back to reality, "Yes Mrs. Itomara, gomen." you quickly said, the girls were giggling when you got in trouble, "Bitches." you quietly muttered to myself, but the class was so silent when you said this, that your nosy teacher heard you.

"MISS ______! LANGUAGE LIKE THAT IS NOT TOLERABLE! ONE MORE STRIKE AND YOU'RE GOING TO THE PRINCIPLES OFFICE!"

`Holy crap she heard me!' "Gomen, Gomen, Gomen, I swear It will never happen again! It's just that… THE AMERICANS DID IT!" you quickly said as an excuse and sat back down. `Oh what a perfect excuse ______!!' you mentally slapped your self, you looked over at the class, and those snotty girls were giggling even louder, you looked over to Shuicchi, and all he was doing was studying his mathematics book, `this is going to be a long day.'

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~AFTER SCHOOL~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

It was now after school, thank Kami- Sama, and all you wanted was nothing more then to go home, or explore, either one would be better than that Hell Hole, and that nosy Itomara, trying to get into your business, asking you why you didn't want to talk about the move to Japan, however, all you said was, "I don't want to talk about it." But you made sure to say it coldly, so she wouldn't ask you again, but you knew it wouldn't stop her, oh well.

You were going past the benches, when you saw a horde of rabid school girls cornering someone, they were giggling madly, and screaming, "SHUICCHI WILL YOU BE MY GIRLFRIEND?!?" So… that Shuicchi kid had quite the fan-club, you managed to get a peek at his face, he looked really nervous, and he was trying to get away, but those girls were like lions while hunting Zebra, eh, you decided to help the poor guy.

"OH MY FREAKING GOD, IS THAT NAMIE AMURO?!?" the girls immediately let go of Shuicchi and ran over where you pointed, in hopes of going home with some autographs, they were more stupider then you thought they were.

You walked over to Shuiichi and helped him up, "Arigatou _____, I owe you one." He said while smiling, "Eh… don't mention it, it looked like you were dieing in there, and I couldn't stand seeing you like that any longer." You gave him a reassuring smile that said that his fan-club is gone

"But… now that I have you here alone…" you said a little seductively, Shuicchi blushed a deep shade of red, you laughed. "I was just joking! I wouldn't do that kind of stuff! Unless you give me money! Then it's ok!" you said, he was blushing again, "I'm just kidding again, you should really see the look on your face!" he chuckled nervously, "Yea, kidding… ha, ha, ha…"

Ok, you could tell you were freaking the poor kid off, so you decided it was time to leave, "Well, it's time for me to be off, see you tomorrow Shuicchi!" you said as you ran off, but, then, you heard someone call your name. "______!! Wait up!" you stopped and turned around; it was Shuicchi, "Yea Shuicchi? What's up?" you asked, "Well… maybe we could you know, hang out sometime?" he said, you knew he didn't mean a date, just as friends, "Ok sure, we can hang out right now, I'm not doing anything." You said, "Ok, sure."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Later~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~

You and Shuicchi went to the lake right next to your house; the two of you talked about many things, what anime you liked, what type of music, it seemed like you had a lot in common, but he just had to ask the question. "So _____, can I ask you something, why did you move back to Japan?" He asked, you didn't really do anything, you just watched the lake, should you tell him? Should you lie? But for some unknown reason, you felt like… you could trust him.

"Well… one day, my parents had to go to a very important banquet thing that my dad's company was hosting, a couple of hours have passed by, and we haven't heard a word from him, it was 1:00 in the morning, and they should had been back at 11:00 PM, me and my brother stayed up all night waiting for them, he was in charge, since he's 15, then, the phone rang, and my brother answered it, and he stayed on for quite a while, when he hung up, he looked like he was going to cry, it turned out that when my parents were on their way home, they had a really bad car accident, causing them to both die instantly, after the funeral, our aunt and uncle came to take us back to Japan, since they were our closest relatives, and that's why I moved back to Japan."

You were balancing yourself on the log that was above the lake, it actually felt good to tell someone, though you weren't really sad or anything, you looked over to Shuicchi, it looked like he was sad for you, "I'm sorry ______ I shouldn't have brought that up." He said.

"Don't be, I'm not sad anymore, my parents wouldn't have wanted me too, besides, most kids would wind up in a foster home, me and my brother were lucky enough to stay with family, family that loves us and takes care of us, they are like my parents to me, and I'm grateful for that, besides, if my parents saw me all depressed and what not, they would send a lightning bolt down from heaven to knock some sense into me! Am I right, or am I right?"

Shuiichi smiled a comforting smile, he was kind of glad he met you, he didn't have that much friends at school, if any at all, he always kept to himself, it was actually nice to talk to someone like you, someone who didn't pester him to be his girlfriend, just someone he could talk to.

"Your right _____, I guess your parents wouldn't have wanted you to be sad." He said, you smiled at him, at least he understood, but you couldn't help but ask, "So… What's your story Shuicchi?" he looked nervous when you asked this question, you did tell him your past, but should he lie about his?

Lie. "Well… I have a normal life, I live with my mom, I go to school, you know, just a normal life!" he said cheerfully, he didn't want to scare you off by telling you that you were a Kitsune, his answer made you blink a couple of time, "O….K WHOA, WHOA, WHOA!!" the log was getting slippery, and you were about to fall in the lake, but Shuicchi grabbed your arm to pull you on the ground, but that resulted with you landing on top of him.

"Err, thank you for not letting me fall in the water." you said, "Your welcome." he replied, `You know, he doesn't look so bad from this point of view…GAK! What am I thinking? I have to get up damn it!'

"Ahem." you looked up to see Yuhi there; you immediately got off Shuicchi, and he got up from the ground, "YUHI! Umm… you see, I was on the log… and…" but Yuhi interrupted, "Not now _____, Aunt Kimori and Uncle Kagami want you back in the house right now, and who the hell are you?" Yuhi asked Shuiichi, you rolled your eyes, he was acting like the over protective brother again.

"My name is Sh…" you interrupted him, "He's my new friend! Now leave him alone or I'll tell aunt Kimori what happened to her hand lotion!" Shuicchi sniggered at this, Yuhi looked horrified, "YOU KNOW DAMN WELL THAT I USED THAT HAND LOTION FOR A SCHOOL PROJECT YOU BRAT!" he said, "I'LL LIE!" you snapped back, and he didn't have a choice.

"Fine…just go back inside you little monster." He turned around and mouthed off the words I'll be watching you to Shuicchi, "Just ignore him." You said to Shuicchi, "Err… _____.... did you really mean what you just said back there?" he asked you, you looked like you were in thought, then you went back to normal, "Oh, about the `you being my new friend' thing? Well… not unless you want to." You said smiling; he smiled back.

"Of course _____, I'll be your friend!" he said, "Thanks Shuicchi!" you gave him a huge bear hug, "_____!! I… can't breath!!!" he choked out, "oops, sorry, oh here, before I go, I want you to have this!" you threw a handmade bracelet to Shuiichi; he caught it and looked at it.

"Thanks ____, did you make this?" "Huh? Oh no… I swiped it off some kid there, she had it coming I tell you…*shifty eyes*" you said, Shuiichi sweat dropped, "Err… thanks again?" he said, "NO PROBLEM!! SEE YOU TOMORROW!" and with that you left for your house, Shuicchi stayed there for a while, looking at the bracelet.

~ You know, I like that girl, she looks like the kind that appreciates a good steal. ~

/Shut up Youko\

~ WHAT?!?! All I'm saying is I like her! And I think you like her too… *wink, wink* ~

/No I don't, she's just a friend, and I only met her today, and we're only 13! \

~ ……… So what? You can still like someone you just met, and plus, boys at your age should like girls! Unless your interested in the other kind… ~

/NO, NO, NO!!! I DO NOT LIKE HER IN THAT WAY! AND I DON'T LIKE MEN! \

~ *sigh* this is the beginning of a beautiful relationship~
