Chapter 1: Meeting with the Koormie

Sakura could have died in her biology class and been the happiest girl in the world. Shuichi had asked her to call him by his first name! Maybe her friends were right when they said Shuichi had a crush on her…

She was grinning like a manic for the rest of the day, even more so when she spotted her friends. She still felt bad about abandoning Yu though. She'd have to apologize later.

"What are you so happy about?" Nami asked upon seeing Sakura's smiling face.

"You know how we have a biology project, right?" Nami and Akari nodded; Kaya didn't have biology class.

"Well, guess who my partner is!" Sakura squealed.

"Is he about 5' 10", red hair that rivals the color of your car, the most gorgeous emerald eyes I've ever seen, and the most creamy complexion in all of Japan?" Akari asked dreamily.

Sakura had a slightly confused look on her face. "How did you know?"

"Because he's walking this way!" Kaya hissed.

She turned around in just enough time to say hi first. "Ohayo, Shuichi-kun."

"Ohayo, Sakura-chan." All of Sakura's friends giggled at this. "I just wanted to say, arigato for being my partner and here." He handed her a piece of paper. "It's my phone number and address. Call me or stop by whenever you're ready to start our project."

"Okay. I'll talk to you guys later, I've got to go pick up Keiko and Yusuke." Sakura waved and ran off to her convertible.

Shuichi looked stunned. Yusuke? How does she know Yusuke?

His stunned look, however, went unnoticed by everyone.

Sakura was in no hurry to get to the junior high, so she actually went the speed limit. She popped in one of her favorite CDs, an American group called Train.

When it rains it pours and opens doors
And floods the floors we thought would always keep us safe and dry
And in the midst of sailing ships we sink our lips into the ones we love
That have to say goodbye

And as I float along this ocean
I can feel you like a notion that won't seem to let me go

Cause when I look to the sky something tells me you're here with me
And you make everything alright
And when I feel like I'm lost something tells me you're here with me
And I can always find my way when you are here

"Hey, Sakura!" Keiko yelled and waved to get Sakura's attention.

"Hey Keiko, Yusuke. C'mon, I've got things I need to take care of tonight." She said with a soft smile.

"What's got you in such a good mood?" Yusuke asked in a sarcastic tone that simply said `I really don't care'.

"Well, the guy I have a crush on is my biology partner and an old friend that I haven't seen in years is coming over tonight. Any more questions, gaki?"

"Gaki? I only thought our principal and sensei called me that…" Keiko just laughed at Yusuke's comment.

"Everyone calls you a gaki Yusuke! It's because you are!"

"Shuddap Keiko!"

"Trouble in paradise, Yusuke? I swear, you two fight like a married couple." Sakura pulled into Keiko's driveway and motioned for her to get out. Yusuke jumped out too.

"Where are you goin' Urameshi?"

"I'm tutoring him in science." Keiko said with a smile.

"Oh, tutoring! Well, have fun! Don't do anything I wouldn't do!" With a laugh and a wave, Sakura pulled out and drove down the road to her own place.

She pulled into her driveway, turned the car off and ran inside. She was so excited! Her best friend, her onee-san, was going to be there tonight! Okay, so they weren't really related, but Hiei was the closest thing Sakura had to family for a long time. He looked after her, protected her, loved her. He made her feel like she finally fit in somewhere, and it was the same for him.

Sakura wasn't like ordinary 16 year old girls. She was a kitsune apparition, well, half-kitsune apparition, half-Koormie with a natural Jagan. She was, at one time, a great tozoku of the Makai. She was tricked by Enma and was forced to live within a ningen body for 16 years. She remained in her ningen form after finding out she could still used her ki to control plants and use her healing and ice powers.

The one thing she feared was to be discovered, for Koenma to find her. She knew Earth had a new sprit detective, but she had no clue as to whom it was. She had had no contact with the Makai for years, or the Reiki for that matter.

She was forced to eat dinner alone, like usual. Her mother was out of town and her father was dead. He had died of cancer the year she met Keiko, Yusuke, and Kuwabara. The three of them had just started Junior High and it was her second year. Yusuke decided to try and fight the toughest student at Mushiori Jr. High. It turned out to be Sakura. (A/N: I just came up with one… I can't remember any of the other school names but Yusuke and Kurama's!)

Tap-tap

Sakura jumped. What the Hell was that!?

/Sakura, open the window. It's me./

/Hiei!/ She unlocked the window in her living room and he jumped inside.

Sakura immediately wrapped her arms around the fire apparition infront of her. "Oh Hiei… I've missed you so much…"

"I missed you too, my little Sakura blossom." He wrapped his arms around he and returned the hug.

"So, how have you been? Tell me everything." Sakura stepped back and sat on the couch. She then motioned for Hiei to join her.

"Everything?" She nodded. "Alright…"

They sat and talked for hours. Hiei told her about his recent indiscretions and being forced to work with the new reikai tentai along with the tentai's best friend and Kurama. Then he told her of the Dark Tournament.

"Oh Hiei, I can't believe that Togoro is… dead. I'm glad though." She had a smile on her face. "Now, tell me more about the new reikai tentai."

Okay, before I go, I have a few translations for you: Ohayo- good afternoon; Gaki- punk (and we all know Yusuke is); Kitsune- fox; Tozoku- thief; Reiki- Sprit World; ki- energy

All right, I think that's it. Please review, I want to know how well I'm writing!
