Yu Yu Hakusho Fan Fiction ❯ Yusuke or Yume? ❯ Rebirth 1: Outputs and Corrections ( Chapter 1 )

Hey everyone, this is an idea I’ve had in my head for a long time and I decided to start writing it. Please bear with me, I’m writing this as I go. But, I’ve got the first few chapters written already, so it shouldn’t take me all that long to update.   Chapter One: Secrets We Keep   Rekai Koenma was worried. Sure, it didn’t take much to make him worried, but he had good reason to be. Something was about to happen to Yusuke. Something that could change the fate of the whole world. Yusuke knows what’s happening, Koenma thought. But unfortunately not even my father could do anything to stop it. Damn it. This is coming too soon. I have no choice. “Botan!” The bubbly ferry girl floated in, big smile in place. “Yes, Koenma sir?” “I need you to go and get Yusuke and the others. It’s urgent and it concerns Yusuke.” Botan’s lavender eyes blinked in confusion, but she summoned her oar and flew off to do as she was bid.   Ningenkai   Yusuke looked out Kurama’s bedroom window, silent for once. I can’t believe this. What will the others think? I mean, they’re my friends, and the best ones I could ever ask for, but still, I’ve been lying to them for the past four years. (All the Rekai Tantei’s are eighteen right now. Wait…Kuwabara and Yusuke are eighteen, Kurama and Hiei are twenty in human terms. They met when Yusuke and Kuwabara were fourteen, Kurama and Hiei sixteen.) “Yusuke?” Kurama’s quiet and concerned voice rang in Yusuke’s ears. “Yeah?” “What’s the matter? I mean, we’re having a study session and you’ve been unnaturally quiet throughout the whole evening. Not a single complaint.” Yusuke sighed. No need to make him start worrying. “I’m fine, Kurama. I’m just a little tired, is all.” Kuwabara and Hiei sat a few feet away from them, listening in to their conversation. “What do you think is wrong with Urameshi?” Kuwabara asked the shorter man. “Hn. Damned if I know what’s going on in the detective’s head.” On the outside, he was uncaring, but on the inside, he was worried for his friend. Botan popped in. “Hello, everyone!” Everyone, excluding Hiei, jumped. Yusuke’s eyebrow twitched. “Damn it, Botan! Why do you have to keep popping in like that!? You’re gonna give me a heart attack!” Botan shrugged. “Listen, Koenma needs me to bring all of you to Rekai. Apparently he wants to discuss something urgent regarding Yusuke.” Yusuke’s expression hardened at this… “Well, let’s go.” Kurama blinked in confusion. “Yusuke…you are going to Rekai without putting up a fuss?” Yusuke shrugged. “Yeah…besides, I know what this is about. And I’ll really need to be there. You guys won’t believe Koenma otherwise.” With that, Yusuke walked through the portal and into Rekai, the others following him. Koenma, in teenage form, sat behind his desk, a glowing purple orb in front of him like a crystal ball. “Afternoon. I wish I had time for idle chatter, but let’s get straight to business. Yusuke, please start.” The chocolate-eyed teen looked at the floor. “Everyone…you might hate me forever when you hear all this…but, Yusuke Urameshi…has never really existed.” Everyone’s eyes widened. “What are you talking about, Yusuke?” Kurama asked, concerned for his friend. “Let me finish…I’m not real. Yusuke isn’t real. I’m just the output of a Rekai mistake.” He paused, and Koenma cleared his throat, giving the teen a supportive hand on his shoulder. “Yusuke, please elaborate for them.” “When I was born…I died…and Rekai brought me back to life because they could see a lot of things happening in my future. And that I’d be a valuable asset to Rekai’s war against Makai. And…when they brought me back to life they…made a mistake…” “What was…the mistake, Yusuke?” Dread was now filling Kurama’s heart. Maybe this was why Yusuke’s scent had been altering itself lately. “You see…Well, maybe it would be best if I could show you.” Yusuke picked up the purple orb. “In here is my true soul…the soul that was taken from me when I was a baby and was brought back to life.” Yusuke’s eyes darkened and the purple light overtook him. The light enshrouded the whole room, and prevented anyone from seeing what was happening to their friend/leader. After a few seconds, a thud was heard, and the light cleared to show Yusuke on his knees, staring at the floor. “Yusuke…stand up.” Koenma ordered. Albeit reluctantly, Yusuke rose to his feet, head still down. Hiei noticed something different about his friend. His hair was slightly longer. And…he was about Hiei’s height now. His clothes, that used to fit his form perfectly, were now slightly baggy and loose. “Yusuke, look at them and let them see what’s happened.” Yusuke paused. “Do I have to?” The voice shocked everyone but Koenma and Botan. It was…higher, more girl-like. And it was scary that it was coming from Yusuke. “Yusuke…are you al….” Kurama’s eyes widened and he stopped in mid-sentence. Yusuke straightened up and removed his jacket. Yusuke’s eyes…the lashes were longer and they were slightly larger now…the color of warm chocolate was more vibrant and lively like in most girl’s…eyes…WTF!? “Yusuke…you look like…a…” Kurama trailed off. “A girl?” “Yes…” “That’s because I am one.” Pause of total silence. “WHAT!?” Not even Hiei could hold back his yell. Yusuke flinched away from them, and hid behind Koenma. “Why is Urameshi hiding behind Koenma?” Kuwabara asked. “I don’t know…that’s not a very Yusuke-ish thing to do.” “That’s because she’s not Yusuke anymore, you fools.” (Guess who?) Koenma glanced behind his back, seeing Yusuke look up at him through big, shiny brown eyes that made his heart melt. Her fist was near her bottom lip, and she looked scared as she held onto his cape with one fist, but…she looked so cute! “Yusuke, please face the others.” She buried her face into his back and shook her head furiously. “Yusuke…” a dangerous ring joined Koenma’s deep voice, and Yusuke forced herself to walk out from behind Koenma and allow the others to see her fully. Kurama very near blushed. Keyword being near. If he thought Yusuke had made a very handsome boy, he was ten times more beautiful as a girl. Yusuke’s hair was the same length as always, but fell into her eyes in a careless way without the hair gel. The eyes were the same beautiful brown shade of chocolate, but were larger and had a more girl-ish sparkle to them with long, thick, black lashes surrounding them. Her skin was the same natural tan color, and slight muscles could be seen under her smooth as porcelain-looking skin. She was now Hiei’s height when she had previously come up to Kurama’s nose. The new body was nothing to sneeze at either. “Whoa, Urameshi…you make one hot chick.” Kuwabara said, sounding even stupider than usual. (Is that even possible?) Yusuke’s eyebrow twitched. “Kuwabara…do me a favor and shut your face!” she punched him and sent him flying through the wall. “Phew. I feel better.” A smile lit up her face, and any bad feelings in the room seemed to go away. Kurama came forward and Yusuke stood her ground. The fox paused in front of her, then walked past her. Suddenly, he aimed a punch her way. She ducked, grabbed the fist, and flipped him over her head. Kurama grabbed her when she flipped him and when he landed on his back on the floor, she landed on top of him. But…her breasts were in his face. “Mmmph…gerf erf.” (Uhhh…get off.) Yusuke blinked, and hurried off, but slapped him straight across the face as she sat on his stomach. “Itei! What was that for!?” “Pervert! Sneaking that punch on me and then grabbing me…” “I didn’t mean for your chest to land on my face!” Kurama’s feathers, if he had any, seemed ruffled. He wasn’t used to girls yelling at him like this. Even though the girl just happened to be his best friend turned female. “Yeah right, whatever fox-face!” “I told you, stop calling me fox-face!” “Why not? You look like a fox to me.” She winked, then got off of him fully after smacking him gently upside the head. At this, unintentionally, Kurama blushed. Did she just say what I think she said? No, she couldn’t have. Sure, Yusuke’s now become a girl…but, still…it’s Yusuke. Hiei’s eyes were slightly wider than usual, showing surprise for once. Did Yusuke…just flirt with Kurama? (If any of you are wondering, Kurama did that to test Yusuke’s skills while he’s a girl. His powers are the same, but his speed has increased with being a girl, seeing as how girls can usually go faster than boys.)   A/N: Well, that’s it so far. Tell me if you like it, hate it, or just want me to update as fast as my now-aching fingers can. Review!
