Mysteries of the Past and Present

 

By: Youkai Koinu

 

Chapter One

 

Knock, knock, knock.

 

Shuichi Minamino looked up from the book he was reading and turned his gaze toward the clock. According to it, it was eleven twenty-six P.M. `Who could that be?' he asked himself. `It's probably Yusuke with another mission. He could've called though.' Shuichi thought as he rose from the comfortable leather chair he was sitting in.

 

Knock, knock, knock.

 

It was more persistent this time. Shuichi quickly, yet quietly, laid his book down face-down on the cherry wood coffee table across from his chair and jogged to the door.

 

He then opened it to reveal a girl only a couple of inches shorter than himself with deep purple hair, which was matted from the rain and came down to her waist. The most stunning facial feature the girl possessed were her eyes, for they were bright silver with dark purple specks. She wore a simple black dress that was torn in several places, revealing large red welts and making in seem as if she had been attacked by something.

 

“Um… are you Shuichi Minamino?” The girl asked softly, her silver eyes trained on him.

 

“Yes, I am. May I help you?” Shuichi asked calmly.

 

“May I come in? I really need to talk with you…” the girl asked all the while still studying him.

 

“Um, sure…” He said suspiciously while moving out of her way so that she could enter his house. He had moved out of his mom's house a year ago and was now attending a college university near-by. Aichi University to be exact. (YK: Yes, it's an actual college in Japan. Btw, I don't own that or YYH. *rolls eyes* No duh.)

 

She walked into the living room and sat on the floor, while Shuichi watched her cautiously. `Who is she?' he asked himself. `Whoever she is, I keep getting this strange feeling from her. Kind of like I know her, but not really.' He followed suit and sat across from her.

I sat there watching him for a few moments. He had flaming red hair and blazing emerald eyes. He was clad in a simple green tee-shirt that complimented his eyes, and blue jeans. Overall, he was rather handsome. I could tell he was still suspicious of me from the fact that he looked a little tense and his eyes never left me.

 

“I'm Kasumi.” I said quickly. “I know it was rude to show up without an invitation, but I need your help.”

 

Shuichi regarded me quietly. “That's quite all right, but what do you need my help with?”

 

“I didn't believe it when I first heard but… I'm positive you're him.” I state matter-of-factly, my scrutinizing gaze still on him.

 

“You're positive that I'm who?” Shuichi questioned.

 

“The great thieving legend, Youko Kurama.” I stated simply, as if we were chatting about the weather. He allowed his eyes to widen for a moment, but quickly regained his calm mask.

 

“How do you know about Youko Kurama?” He asked me.

 

“It's common knowledge around the Makai.” I answered.

 

“Okay, but what do you need my help with?” Kurama asked cautiously.

 

“I need your help to free my brother.” I said softly.

 

“What's his name?” He asked, curious now.

 

“His name is… Kuronue.” I answered in a barely audible whisper, my gaze dropping to the floor.

 

Youkai Koinu: Ohhh! Cliffy!

 

Hiei: And you're proud of that?

 

Youkai Koinu: Of course!

 

Hiei: -sweatdrop- Well, you know people who like this fic -cough, cough- nobody -cough, cough- are going to kill you right?

 

Youkai Koinu: -eyes widen- Really? Holy crud! Got to run! -runs-

 

Hiei: -sweatdrop- Ningens… R&R
