[ T - Teen: Not suitable for readers under 13 ]
"All right, listen up!"Keiko looked up from her math work at the soccer coach. "Our game tonight is against the Matasha High Demons. They've got two new premo players this time."

"Serena Lupine and Yukina Kooromie."Keiko said nonchalantly.

"Yes, you know them?"the coach, a stout woman with short, black hair looked at Keiko.

"Yukina's a good friend of mine and Serena spends a lot of time with Yusuke and Kuwabara so I see both of them a lot."Keiko explained,"Serena has a short fuse and a tendancy to over do it when she gets ticked off. Yukina is just the opposite, sweet, loving,"

"and short."a girl with shoulder length light red hair snorted,"She'll be no challenge."

"No challenge,"Keiko rolled her eyes,"Yukina can jump higher than Kuwabara and Yusuke put together."

"So,"another girl snickered,"she'll still be easy to beat and that Serena girl, I heard she's as flat as a board and spends all her time fighting and cutting class."

"So what if she is?"Keiko rolled her eyes,"She's reliable, smart, fun, loving, and hell nicer that the rest of you."

"Nicer than us?"the first girl laughed.

"Yeah, she is, and I'll be laughing when she kicks your butts."Keiko got up and ajusted her soccer cleets,"I'm gonna go find Yusuke."

Across the feild. Serena sat on the bench, playing with rose in her hair. Her black jersey, which she had long since ripped the sleeves off of, was already covered in grass stains from wrestling with Kuwabara, Yusuke still being freaked out by Serena's blow up a few months before before.

"So, what was the point of this 'sport' again?"Hiei walked up behind her, dressed in a pair of blue jeans and a black t-shirt.

"Get the ball in the net."Serena explained simply.

"Isn't that the point of basketball too?"Hiei sat down next to her.

"There's a difference."Serena rolled her eyes,"Where's dumb and dumber?"

"Dumb is up as far away from you as possible, and dumber is right behind you."

Serena turned to see said human walking up,"Kazuma."

"Since when do you call him by his first name?"Hiei hissed.

"Since he IS part of my gang."Serena pointed out,"Besides, he's practically my brother. He spends so mch time at the mansion."

"Yeah, and I got an earful for hanging out with kids from a different school."Kuwabara grumbled,"Where's Yukina?"

"With her 'friends'."Serena snarled, obvious disgust in her voice,"God, if I see one more shade of pink, baby blue, or any crap like that I swear I'll scream."

"I'm glad Keiko's not like that."Kuwabara groaned.

"Her friends are."Serena punched at nothing, noting that her left hand STILL hurt,"The game's about to start, there goes my team, see ya."She jumped to her feet and ran off after a group of laughing girls headed towards the feild.

"Poor girl."the coach, aka Raven, sighed, walking up,"She's the loner of the team."

"She doesn't mind,"Kuwabara rolled his eyes,"it's easier for her to think."

"Yeah, but she's still on her own, even Yukina won't talk to her."Raven sat down between the boys,"How can she stand that?"

"She's used to it."Hiei explained,"She's always been a loner, unless you want to count the occassional Shuuichi."

A rather loud whistle sounded the beginning of the game.

In Makai

"Where am I? What happened? Kurama? My pendant snapped, I ran after it, pain, then, black. Mohroh, where did you go, why, why did you leave?"

Back in the human world

Serena knocked the ball by the girl in the goal,"Wimp."

Yukina ran by and slipped her friend a high five before the game continued. With Yukina on defense and Serena as a forward they were impossible to beat, even for Keiko, who was having the time of her life. Suddenly something came flying at the young demoness. Serena ducked just in time to see a large blood red ball of spiritual energy go flying over her head, and straight for Keiko. She didn't have time to react, before she could take two steps Keiko was on the ground.

"Keiko!!"Yukina was the first one by her, closely followed by Serena and the two teams,"Serena, what happened?"

"Spiritual energy,"Serena bent down and rolled Keiko onto her back,"it was aimed at me. It hit her in the head. Someone call a doctor!!!"

A girl jumped to her feet and ran off. Another girl shoved Yukina out of the way,"Keiko!!! Keiko, are you ok?!"

"Baka, she's unconscious!"Serena snapped as Yusuke and Kuwabara ran up,"Yusuke, take Keiko out to Shiori's car, the doctors won't get here in time. Kuwabara, make sure Yukina's ok, that little wench hits hard."

Yusuke picked his friend up and took off, closely followed by Serena. The duo ran out to Shiori's convertable.

"Um, keys?!"Yusuke yelled, jumping into the back.

Serena lifted the hood, prodded around for a couple seconds until the engine started, then jumped into the front seat and took off,"You were saying?"

"That works too."Yusuke rolled his eyes,"What the hell happened?"

"Someone tried to kill me,"Serena sped down the street, almost flipping the car at a corner and hitting a few people,"MOVE IT LOSERS!!!! it hit Keiko instead. MOOOOOOOOVE!!!!!!!!!!!"

The car finally stopped in front of the hospital and Yusuke jumped out, Keiko in his arms. A doctor was waiting for them, who took Keiko from Yusuke's arms and ran into the hospital.

Back in Makai

"Why,.......why am I alive? I'm supposed to be dead! Uh, Yukina, Mohroh, what's happened?"Hina looked at her wrists, they were scarred from the slashes she'd made.

"You too huh?"she spun around to see a demon who had a disturbing likeness to the young demoness she'd adopted what felt like so long ago.

"Should I know who you are?"Hina asked warily.

"My name is Kuronoue."
