Chapter 1: Rescue

 

 

Yusuke walked down the empty streets on his long way home. The sun had set and it was dark outside and chilly. Yusuke pulled his coat around him tighter to keep from getting cold. He rounded a corner and kept walking down an abandoned street, not bothering to worry about any thugs. He was, after all, Yusuke Urameshi; spirit detective. As he neared an alley, he heard a girl scream.

 

“Look what we have here boss, a regular school girl! It's a little late for you to be walking around at night without someone to keep ya safe...” A male voice laughed. The laugh was jumbled, Yusuke's first sign that the guy was a drunk. He walked closer to the alley, and took a look at the scene.

 

“You should leave me alone if you know what's good for you.” The girl said calmly. She sounded very collected, like she had something planned.

 

“OH, a little cocky aren't we? I can fix that really quick!” Another guy added; drunk, just like his friend. Yusuke heard foot steps rush towards the girl, but didn't hear her move. He jumped into the alley and took a look around. There were four big guys, obviously slow in the head. They turned around when they heard Yusuke's foot steps.

 

“What do you think you're doing punk” One of the other guys asked Yusuke. Yusuke just clenched his fist and smiled. He was going to enjoy this.

 

“Why don't you leave the girl alone and fight with me?” Yusuke looked over the four big guys and smirked. They laughed, but nodded. Quickly glancing around at each other, they settled on an obvious plan. They rushed him all at once. Yusuke jumped up, and landed behind two of them; quickly he grabbed their heads and knocked them together, causing them to fall to the ground; out cold. The other two fell in seconds, one with a kick to the head, and the other with a simple hit to the stomach. Yusuke shook his head, feeling that he wasted his time on those low-lives for an easy fight. The four of them lay there, not trying to getup, afraid to get their asses kicked again.

 

Yusuke walked over towards the exit, hoping the girl knew she should run before they got up, but a hand daintily touched his shoulder before he could walk away. Yusuke turned to see the girl right besides him. They both stepped into the street light and Yusuke gave her a once over to make sure she was alright.

 

Alright was a lowly adjective for her. She was short then him, around Hiei's height, with long black hair that fell in waves past her chest. Yusuke tried not to stare to long. She wore a sailor style uniform that Yusuke didn't recognize, but he assumed it was some fancy private school that he couldn't even dream of. It was long sleeved, due to the cold fall air, but it was still moderately short. Yusuke liked the look of it. Her black hair meshed into the black uniform, only being seen when it fell over the white accents, like the buttons or the stripes on the collar. She looked him over as well, and Yusuke was only now aware of it. Barely see-able through her hair was a black ribbon; tied neatly around her neck. It was a stark contrast compared to her soft, pale skin. Yusuke looked at the girl as a whole again; trying not to smile and her attractive figure. It had been a long time since he looked at someone so intently. The girl's legs were shaking, even in her knee-high black socks. She clutched her arms to keep warm. Quickly Yusuke politely pulled off his jacket and offered it to the girl.

 

“Here, take it. It'll keep you warm. My name's Yusuke. Yusuke Urameshi.” The girl let Yusuke slide the jacket down her shoulders. She gave a quick, small bow of thanks; her hair rushing forward and hugging her shoulders as her head bent down.

 

“Thank you, I'm Yoko Tokukawa. Please to meet you.” Yoko flashed Yusuke a smile. She was insanely pretty. She clutched her black book case tightly, Yusuke looked at her smiling face and noticed her eyes, deep and blue; just like the ocean. They looked like endlessly rolling waves. For a moment, Yusuke felt sea-sick. At that moment, a giant hand was in front of his face. Yusuke blinked. Yoko put her hand down once she saw life return to Yusuke.

 

“Oh! Thank you for rescuing me, Yusuke.” Yoko reminded herself. Yusuke nodded dumbly. He tried his best to snap out of it.

 

“How did you even end up down an alley with four drunken idiots?” Yusuke asked. Yoko laughed nervously. Yusuke felt relaxed in her presence; he was glad that he was meeting new people, who didn't know everything going on in his life. He was getting a second chance. Yoko smiled.

 

“I guess I'm just danger-prone.” She laughed. Yusuke quickly thought of all the dangerous streets and the unknown of the night. It was the first time he had worried about it in a long time.

 

“Uhm, can I walk you home? Since you are danger-prone of course...” Yusuke asked. Yoko nodded and Yusuke walked along side her. The two walked a few blocks before Yoko stopped outside a ritzy looking apartment building.

 

“Here.” Yoko pulled off Yusuke's coat and handed it back to him. Their eyes met for a moment and then Yoko turned away, slowly heading for the stairs. She turned around to look back at him once more. Yusuke noted that in the night, Yoko's skin seemed to glow, creating an eerie feeling.

 

“Uhh… hey… can I… uh… can I see you again?” Yusuke asked sheepishly. Yoko nodded yes and Yusuke's eyes lit up. It was the first bit of joy he had in a few months.

 

“Can you meet me downtown, tomorrow? Around six?” Yusuke could hardly keep himself from shouting for joy. Yoko smiled and nodded yes again. Yusuke began to understand why Kuwabara acted like an idiot around Yukina. Although Yusuke thought that he would rather be thinking of someone else. A tiny pang of guilt ran through him; but he decided to shrug it off; there was no use in going back to what had been.

 

“Can we go to the Ice Cream Parlor that just opened up?” Yoko added. Yusuke took his cue and nodded. As he stepped away, Yoko waved and walked to the door. She finally took one last look and went inside. Yusuke stood there a while after she left, taking in the sheer volume of luck he had that night; an easy fight and a pretty girl. Finally, he realized how cold he was, so he put his jacket back on and ran down the street to Genkai's temple, where the tante was meeting up.

It was a little past nine when he arrived at Genkai's temple. The air was chilly, but Yusuke's heart was pounding. He opened the door and almost tripped over Kuwabara, who fell into his own dinner, sending the plate and the food flying. Hiei picked up the plate and handed it to Kurama, who was getting Yusuke's food ready. Both looked midly amused at Kuwabara's misfortune. Kuwabara checked if his head was still attached to his neck; luckily it was.

 

Yusuke, you bastard! You missed dinner again!” Kuwabara yelled as soon as he made sure he was alive. Yusuke picked himself up from the ground and sat down next to Hiei and Kuwabara. The room was full of anxiety at Yusuke's rushed entrance.

 

“You meet someone tonight, Yusuke?” Kurama asked from the kitchen. Yusuke had a sudden frown on his face.

 

“Leave it to the kitsune to ruin a moment…Hnn…” Hiei snorted. Kurama shot his head out from the kitchen and gave Hiei a death glare. Hiei just sank backwards, ignoring the fox. Kurama came out of the kitchen with Yusuke's food. He placed it in front of the detective and watched Yusuke play around with it. Hiei got up and walked to the detective and smacked him in the head.

 

“OWW!” Yusuke yelled. The three guys looked at Yusuke like he was from another planet. Hiei sat down after his smack had warranted Yusuke to come back to reality.

 

“Tell us Yusuke, who is she?” Kurama asked impatiently. It had been a long time since Yusuke had looked at any girls. After his break up with Keiko, Yusuke had become really quiet, but not less of a jerk. Kurama was certain that another female in his life might help, but getting a girl to appreciate Yusuke for who he was, was borderline difficult.

 

“Oh. She's a girl.” Yusuke grinned. Kuwabara slapped his head, and Kurama gave a no-you-think look. Both were agitated with Yusuke's answer and strategy of “playing dumb.”

 

“I knew you were stupid Yusuke, but this is wrong…” Kuwabara added. Yusuke barely noticed the insults. At that point, Kurama was intrigued by this mystery girl.

 

“I'm meeting her tomorrow, around six. I figure I'll have finished beating Kuwabara up, so that gives me time to go see her.” Yusuke smirked. Hiei gave Kurama a look of `poor-pathetic-Yusuke,' but Kurama didn't notice. He was much too interested in this new girl.

 

“Baka ningens, only good for killing…” Hiei grunted. Kurama gave him another death glare. That time, Hiei decided it was in his best interest to remain quiet. He knew that Kurama was just prying into Yusuke's private life to help out the tante.

 

`Or that better be some where on the agenda…' Hiei thought to himself.

 

Yusuke had finished his dinner while Hiei had thought to himself. He was unusually radiant and happy. It worried Kurama and Kuwabara. Hiei tried not to involve himself. After all, he was perfectly capable of handling missions by himself, or with Kurama. They had done it before.

 

“I'm going to sleep. See you in the morning.” Yusuke walked down the hall and went to his room. Kuwabara made sure Yusuke was out of ear shot before he spoke.

 

“Who do you think this new girl is? Yusuke hasn't been so happy since he and Keiko broke up. He's been upset; now all of a sudden, this new girl shows up and Yusuke is a giant ball of joy.” Kuwabara sighed. Kurama nodded and even Hiei agreed.

 

“Yes, I agree, Kuwabara. It seems too odd. But if she makes him happy, we best make sure she isn't going to hurt him.” Kurama said. He honestly wanted Yusuke happy. Keiko's break up had nearly killed the detective. He barricaded himself in his room and even his mother became so worried that she was sober for three days. Some how he just came out of his room a week later, as if nothing happened; as if Keiko never meant anything to him. Hiei finally decided to put in his two cents.

 

“I don't care, so long as the Spirit Detective is off my back. Let him be with the ningen.” Hiei snorted. Kurama gathered the dishes and went to the sink. His mind was filled with concerns for Yusuke's safety: not that the gang would fall apart with out him, just that they were friends.

 

“I guess there is only one way to find out about this girl…” Kurama smiled mischievously.

Kurama: OOOHHHH! I like the changes. Very nice!

 

Yusuke: I don't know how I feel about it… I sound really depressed and in denial…

 

Hiei: You are.

 

Yusuke: X.X *angry*

 

Bunny: NOT FOR LONG! I PROMSE! T_T*
