Cece: Well, time to debut a sweet fanfic.

Kurama: What's it about?

Cece: Not saying, but I will tell you that it's going to be in two different points of view.

Kurama: Nice.

Cece: That and it's kind of from “Anything, Anytime, Anywhere” from ff.net, but it's also when they arrive on the island.

Kurama: (nods his head) I smell an Emmy.

Cece: R&R at the end.

 

Chapter One: Where It All Began (Andrea's POV)

 

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

 

When we first arrived on the island, I felt so much opposition for the team. Of course there would be, aside from Hiei and Kurama, everyone else was human. Being a member of the Reikai Tantei meant you had to expect the unexpected, and if Yusuke being a Spirit Detective was unexpected, then so was finding out that Kurama was a demon.

 

In truth, when I first met him at school, I didn't even know he was one. Although to me he looked like a girl with his long red hair, green eyes, and his almost effeminate features, he made sure to get it through my head that he was a guy. In a way, I wasn't really sure if he was telling the truth, but for the sake of argument, I decided to drop the subject.

 

When everyone walked inside, the hotel looked expensive. Crystal chandeliers hung in rows, giving off plenty of light in the night. Everyone was dressed in long, floor-length gowns, hair perfectly styled as many rich people were.

 

I felt out of place, since I was only wearing a dark-blue jogging suit with white tennis shoes. My hair wasn't perfect like theirs; mine hung in a reddish-brown ponytail on my head, a light blue tie contrasting the darkness of my head. Unlike many rich people, I didn't wear any make-up; in fact, with the job I have, why wear any? If the demons didn't scrape it off, then the sweat from the fight sure would wash it away.

 

We followed some person who looked more like a butler than an usher. Then again, who was I to judge? I looked like someone kicked me in the ribs.

 

“Something's wrong here, guys,” Kuwabara said to us. “I never trust grown-ups dressed that fancy.”

 

Part of me wanted to take it as an insult, but another side of me was saying for me to chill out and not start anything I'd really regret. So, rolling my blue eyes and shaking my head, I followed them into a room. Instantly, I felt outnumbered, as I was the only girl in the room. With four men and one I-have-no-clue, it wasn't looking good.

 

The last thing I expected to hear was the words: “Room Assignment.” I felt a sharp pang of dread; I really didn't want to be roomed with a guy, especially one who kept talking about Yukina. Well, there was some good news: I wasn't roomed with either Yusuke or Kuwabara. The bad news: I was roomed with Kurama. I felt like screaming in horror, like I was in a horror movie or something. This was definitely NOT my night.

 

Seeing Kuwabara start laughing about the fact that I was sharing a room with Kurama, I was not a nice Tantei. I would have rather slept on the couch than be roomed with a guy, much less a friend. “Kuwabara, shut up or you're rooming with Hiei,” I said, trying to stay calm.

 

Yusuke turned over on the couch. “Have fun, you lovebirds,” he said in his sleep before a well-deserved fist hit him in the face… mine.

 

“Kurama and I are only friends, you moron!” It wasn't easy trying to stay calm… especially when my heart was going ninety miles per hour. Kuwabara was about to get the same treatment when a hand clamped on my shoulder.

 

“Everyone, let's just think this through,” Kurama said in a calm but serious tone. “I know there's six of us here, but you know how Andrea is around us.”

 

I felt like sighing in relief. Finally, there was a voice of reason in this chaos we have called a team. I could practically hear the “Hallelujah Chorus” right now. I could see this white light shining down on him. Kurama, you're my hero! Well, more like a friendly one, actually.

 

“Kuwabara, you and Yusuke have a room,” Kurama continued, keeping the order around, while there still was any. “Hiei and I will share one…”

 

And then, that left me with the I-have-no-clue one. I felt better, slightly, but better nonetheless. I took a huge sigh of relief. At least Kurama and I weren't rooming together. Thank Enma!

 

“Everyone all right with the arrangement?” Kurama asked us, and my head nodded like a bobble doll. “All right, then, let's get situated.”

 

I grabbed my bags and looked as Yusuke and Kuwabara went to their room, Hiei going into the one he was going to share with Kurama, and the strange one with the mask walking into the one we were sharing. All of a sudden, I had gotten a warm feeling, which made me feel better.

 

“Do you need any help?”

 

I felt the hairs on the back of my neck stand on end as I turned around and saw Kurama. Sure he startled me, but at least I didn't turn redder than a beet and look like a moron in front of him. “Huh?” When I saw Kurama indicating my bags, I shook my head. “No, I'm fine,” I answered him before walking into the room I would share with the masked person. What was wrong with me? My heart hadn't calmed down since I popped the sleeping Detective. Maybe I was just tense from the fight on the boat. I shook my head and set my bags on a bed. I knew I had to calm down, and I had to do it now before anyone asked me anything.

 

I took a deep breath and sat down on the bed, folding my hands together. I couldn't believe it was actually six months since I actually became a Tantei. Six months since my life changed forever. Six months ago, I was only a regular teenager doing basically what teenagers did: went to school, tried to pay attention in class, and tried to have some kind of life.

 

I lie down on the bed and felt one bag on the back of my head. I didn't really mind it; I was used to it. I felt my mind drift back to that fateful night, the night that changed my destiny…

 

/ Flashback /

 

The night was chillier than usual, which sent shivers up and down my spine. I had a feeling something was going to happen, call it intuition really, though to me it sounded like another “Buffy” re-run. A hand suddenly landed on my shoulder, which made me freeze for a second. The rest of the attack was like a blur… until my boot heel landed in my attacker's nether regions. He howled in pain before my other one popped him in the mouth.

 

I heard voices shouting near my direction and footsteps following the shouts, but I couldn't really move. What did I do? And how in the world did I pull that move off? I really saw too many “Buffy” re-runs.

 

I heard someone asking me if I was all right and if I was hurt. After giving the person behind me the Okay sign, I ran off down an alley. I really didn't want anything to do with what I had just done. I was more confused now more than ever. What was that thing, and why did it come after me? That thing didn't even look human.

 

I ran back home and lay down on the couch. I was about to fall asleep when I saw a floating baby… wait, a floating baby?! That was the last time I was eating that four-day-old turkey. I was almost in shock by the time he told me that I was now a Tantei. If there were any spiked drinks in the house, I was going after them all. This baby was really high on something. Ever since that night, my life was never the same.

 

/ End Flashback /

 

From between the fight on the boat ride here, and putting up with Kuwabara and Hiei's bickering, I was getting tired. My eyes were getting heavy and my head was spinning. So, after fighting it, I closed my eyes and went to sleep.

 

My dream of lying on the beach, tanning had come to a crashing halt as soon as I heard a cup shatter on the floor. My eyes shot open, wide-awake. What happened? I looked around and saw that I was alone in the room, but there was a light underneath the door. I went to the door and opened it. The team was obviously looking at the front door, well, save for Yusuke, who obviously could sleep through a hurricane.

 

The silence was getting to me. I hated silence, except when I was asleep. “Guys?” I walked in, hiding a yawn in my hand. “What happened here?” As I looked at them, Kurama looked at me, and he explained everything to me up until I woke up.

 

“We didn't want to disturb you,” he finished. “We all had a rough journey here as well.” He looked to everyone around him. “Perhaps we should all rest for the night.”

 

I, for one, was glad about that. It was probably the first thing Kurama and I had in common since the same school we went to. I nodded, hiding another yawn in my hand. I felt him pat me on the back.

 

“But don't sleep too late,” he said before he pulled himself off of the couch.

 

Nodding again, I headed back to the room and pulled my bags off of the bed before plopping down on it. The pillow felt so comfortable, I felt every muscle within me loosen. It seemed like only minutes before I went to sleep, this time for the night.

 

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

 

Cece: Wow. That's the first Andrea chapter.

 

Kurama: Great. The first chapter in my POV is next.

 

Cece: Yep. It's alternating.

 

Youko: At least we'll get to see what's going on in Shuichi Minamino's head.

 

Cece: Youko…

 

Youko: Yes?

 

Kurama: Shut up.
