Opposites

-Kurama's House-

-Readers POV-

"Glad you all could make it," greeted Kurama. "This is going to be a really fun party!"

The whole gang was over at Kurama's house at the sleep over party thing that he was having to celebrate Genkai coming back to life as well as their victory at the Dark Tournament. Yusuke and Kuwabara were playing videogames, Botan was chit-chatting with Keiko, Hiei was sitting in the window and Kurama was sitting on the couch smiling contentedly.

"Yo Kurama, where's your bathroom?" asked Yusuke.

"It's upstairs at the end of the hallway to your left."

"Thanks man."

Yusuke came back downstairs to ready to verse Kuwabara at 'Soul Caliber' again.

"Hey Kurama, what's with that freakish door across the hall from the bathroom." He questioned.

"Oh, that's my little sister's room."

They all froze and starred at him in shock. "You have a sister!?" they all chimed at once.

"Well if it's your sister's room then why is it so weird?" he prodded.

"What could be so freaky about a little girl's room?" asked Kuwabara.

"Oh I don't know, maybe the fact that it was painted black and in blood red, drippy letters it said, 'Keep Out! Enter and DIE!!!' So, seriously Kurama, what's up with that?"

"Oh, well you see, she kind of a gothic, punk, skater chick. She is also a major loner. Maybe even more so than Hiei. She only has two friends as far as I know."

"Really? I would have expected a Minamino to be more like you and Shiori," said Keiko.

"Yeah, I know. We haven't figured it out either. She looks more like she'd be Yusuke's sister and acts like she would be Hiei's sister." Hiei "hn"ed at this. "Perhaps you guys should meet her. You might get along okay and she needs some more friends anyways."

"So why didn't you tell us you had a sister?" questioned Botan.

"I don't know it just never came up. Oh, and Kuwabara, she's not little. She just turned 16."

At that moment a girl matching Kurama's extremely vague description walked through the front door. She had blackish brown hair and muddy brown eyes with emerald green rims. She was wearing black cargo pants and a blood red, slightly baggy, black t-shirt. The muscles on her arms were well toned and slightly tanned. She looked like someone who would be on the Olympics swim teem. She was a head shorter than Hiei and would look like a plane-Jane if she wasn't so gothic. When you peered into her eyes there seemed to be an ever burning flame of arrogance and determination.

"Hey sis!" greeted Kurama.

She glared at him for a minute before turning to go upstairs to her room.

"Wait! I want you to meet my friends," he said.

She stopped dead in her tracks, turned and impatiently waited.

"This is Botan, Keiko, Kuwabara, Hiei and Yusuke." He motioned to each in turn.

"Hn," she said and she continued to her room.

Kurama face faulted and sweat dropped. She just...left. She didn't give her name in return or anything. Everyone heard a door towards the end of the hall slam shut loudly.

"Well, anyways, her name's Natalie but she goes by Ookami. It's some dorky nickname her friends gave her," said an exasperated Kurama.

-Natalie's POV-

The school bell had finally rung and I was free to do what ever I wanted. I headed to the park. When I got there I swung up into my favorite tree. It was on the edge of the forest and was perfect for hiding in. I climbed effortlessly to the topmost branches and sat were I could watch all the people walk aimlessly by, oblivious to my presence. I took out my sketch-pad from my back pack along with a pencil and began to draw. My sketch-pad was full of pictures of wolves either, sleeping, stalking prey, running through woods and across snowy plains, or fighting each other. I didn't let anyone see my sketch-pad except my two best friends. Due to my weird obsession with wolves, my best buds have nicknamed me Ookami. As far as they are concerned, they don't know a Natalie Minamino. They only know an Ookami Minamino. We nicknamed Lacy, Neko 'cause she likes, no, more like loves cats. And Laura is Kitsune 'cause she loves foxes.

At the moment, I was drawing a Japanese dragon. It looked extremely realistic, almost like a photograph. All of my pictures looked real. I had been there about twenty minutes when I remembered it was Friday and my brother was having his freinds over for a stupid seep-over party thing. I stuffed my items back in my bag and jumped out of the tree landing, surprisingly enough,on my feet. I startled a few bystanders but I didn't care, they all thought I was weird anyways. I took off like a shot, praying that I would make it home before my brother, or at least his freinds, got there. But I knew I wouldn't make it.

'Damn! If only id been smart enough to take my motorcucle to school today!' I thought. Yep, you heard me, motorcycle. It's one of those cool bikes used for dragg racing. It was black with a midnight blue Japanese dragon on the side and midnight blue gost flames on the front end. Neko and Kitsune were so mad when I got it. Let's just say I wasn't the safest driver in the world...

I got home about 3:30pm and knew that my brother and his freinds were already there. I caught my breath and walked inside, calmly and emotionlessly. I hoped that I could just sneek past them but my brother saw me come in.

"Hey sis!" he greeted cheerfuly.

'What the hell is he so happy about?' I thought to myself. I glared daggers at him while cursing my luck and finally turned to leave, only to be stopped again.

"Wait! I want you to meet my friends," he said.

I stopped, turned around and waited impaitiently for him to get on with it. I really wanted to finish that dragon picture.

"This is Botan, Keiko, Kuwabara, Hiei and Yusuke." He motioned to each in turn. I 'hn'ed and went upstairs, slamming my door shut behind me. I knew that Shuichi would be mad at me for being so rude to his freinds but I desided to worry about it later.

I turned on my CD player so I could listen to music as I finished my dragon picture. I put in my Sum41 CD and skipped ahead to 'Hell Song'. I blasted the sound and pressed the replay button do I could listen to it again and again. Plus I wanted to see exactly how pissed at me i could make Shuichi. He hated it when I did this, and I knew it. It was always so funny to see him loose his cool 'cause he rarely ever did.

I ended up loosing track of time and it was 4:25 before I knew it. Neko, Kitsune and I had an advanced self defence class that started at 4:30 that our parents didn't know about. It taught us martial arts and swordsmanship. I rushed to get on my training gi and stuffed my sketch-pad, pencil, and two katanas into my school bag after dumping everything else onto the floor. I turned off my CD player and jumed out the window. Did I mention I was on the second floor? Well, I was but I had done this lots of times and I always managed to land on my feet completely unharmed. I jumped onto my motorcycle and sped off towards the Black Dragon Swords Dojo and strait into a world of extra torture from Master Shin. After I completed his training succesfuly, I planned to visit Master Genkai. She and I met about eight months ago when I stummbled across her forest and had to fight off a few demons. She noticed a desterbince in the forest and went to check it out. She said 'I held promiss' and to come see her when I finished training under Master Shin. She lead me out of the forrest and I agreed to do so. I had to get to the dojo and fast. It's kind of hard to earn your black belt and the dojo swords if you aren't there to do so, and if I wasn't there in three minutes I would have to give up the honor to either Neko or Kitsune, something I was not willing to do...
