Disclaimer: Do you honestly think I own Yu Yu Hakusho? Well I own Kurome. She is based off of me. Also flames are welcome becuase I will use them to set fire to my retarded computer, and then roast marshmellows for my dinner.

NOTE: I'm appologizing ahead of time for my typos and if I don't explain stuff well enough. My MSword is f-ed up so I have to use wordpad, which has no spell check. Also I tend to not explain things, (Example: What the characters are wearing. Like their clothes.) Also this takes place after the chapter black saga, and before the 3 kings saga. I know that Yusuke is being hunted by spirit world, and not doing anymore missions, but I didn't find that out until I was 70 pages into writing this. (yes i know that's long, and I'm cutting it down as I type it up. Also if you're gonna complain bout me just giving a bit of a spoiler TO BAD. They took yyh off toonami so it's not like it really matters.) I almost forgot, Kurome lives in the US so I know naturally she wouldn't speak the same lango as the yyh group. But this is my fic so play along or don't read!

"..." means the character is saying something

'...' means they area thinking something.

"Why don't I just lock you in your room for a week. Then you can be antisocial all you want!" A tall and large man shouted at his daughter.

"Please do cause I'd rather be in there than be around you!" Kurome yelled at the top of her lungs.

Then she slammed her bedroom door shut. She pushed her bookshelf that was next to her door over, so it was blocking anyone from getting in or out of her room. (It wasn't really heavy because it only has manga on it.) Kurome went and sat down on her bed. Her long blue jeans came up on her legs a little bit, and her bangs gell into her eyes. She pushed them to the side and pulled her long blonde hair behind her. She was soon startled by a pounding on her door.

"Amanda open this door now!" her father bellowed.

"I can't because my bookcase is in the way. Also FYI my name is Kurome not Amanda!" She shot back.

"Don't you start with that cartoon shit again!" he yelled.

"It's not cartoons, it's called anime. An-i-me!" she teased.

"Fine just stay in there." her father said.

He kicked her door making a manga book fall on the floor.

"Oh no I pissed the man off, now he's gonna throw a fit!" Kurome yelled.

"You're grounded!" he screamed back.

"Fine it's a great excuse to stay in my room!" She shouted.

He walked away. Kurome heard the front door slam shut a minute later. She went and picked the book up that was laying open on the floor. It was a Yu Yu Hakusho book, displaying a picture of Kurama using his rose whip. Kurome sighed,

"Why can't my life be easier?" she asked herself.

She closed the book and put it back with the other volumes from that series. She heard a car start outside and drive away. She went over to her dresser and grabbed a lighter. She lit some candles that were spread all over her room. Then she walked over to her bedroom window and cracked it open for some fresh air. (She didn't want to open it all the way because she had no screen on the window so bugs and insects could easily get in.) There was no breeze out and Kurome looked over to the driveway to make sure her father was gone. She found no car, but a figure laying face down on the grass by the driveway.

'Damn neighbors always getting drunk.' Kurome thought.

She opened her window all the way and yelled, "Get your drunk ass off of my lawn!"

They slightly moved so Kurome climbed out her window and grabbed a stick laying on the ground. (For self defense purposes only.)

"Why don't you drink in your "homies" house you moron? If you drink outside your gonna easily get arrested." She coldly told the figure who only slightly moved.

Kurome got close enough to see the figure. They had long red hair and a dark pink shirt and pants.

'I've never seen them before, are they really one of those punks?' Kurome thought to herself.

She slowly walked closer to the figure, "Are you ok?" She asked.

The figure mumbled something, but Kurome could hear them.

"Come again?" She asked.

Then she got close to them so she was still 5 feet away from them in case they were pulling some prank. The figure moved his hand from under his body slightly reaching out towards the girl. She jumped back and was about to yell somthing when she noticed that it was covered in blood.

"Hey, let me help you." She offered as she walked over to the figure.

It seems her didn't notice her presence till right then becuase once she said those words he drew his hand back.

She knelt down next to the figure, "Try to avoid me all you want, but it's either you let me help you, or you can bleed to death." She told them.

They seemed to choose the option of being helped because when Kurome went to turn them onto their back they didn't move away from her. She gently rolled them onto their back so she could help them up easier. Once the figure was on their back Kurome grew wide eyed and gasped.

'There is no way I'm seeing this.' She thought to herself.

She rubbed her eyes and opened then to notice a pair of emerald eyes weakly looking at her.

'Ok my favorite anime character from Yu Yu Hakusho is bleeding on my lawn. This makes a whole lot of sense.' She thought.

She woke up back to reality when Kurama coughed, and some blood drizzled down the side of his face. Kurome grabbed the sleve of her long yellow shirt and whiped the blood away.

'So what if I get blood on it, this is only a dream, it doesn't really matter.' She thought to herself.

Kurome stood up, "Can you stand up?" She asked.

With her help she got Kurama up on two feet. She put his right arm around the back of her neck then her left arm around the side of his back.

'He's heavier than I expected' Kurome thought as she led him back towards her house and through her bedroom window. (It wasn't hard to get in because it's close to the ground.)

Once in her bedroom she layed him down on her bed,

"I'll be right back." She whispered to him and went through a door into a bathroom.

She closed the door behind her, "Ok what to do? I don't have any gauze or bandages. Hell, I have almost no medical skills." She said to herself.

She looked around then opened a cabinet. She grabbed some rubbing alcohol, and cotton balls. She closed the cabinet door then grabbed some towels that were sitting next to the tub. She went back into her bedroom and set the things next to her bed. She noticed that Kurama had his eyes closed.

"Are you awake?" Kurome quietly asked.

He slightly nodded his head while keeping his eyes closed. She noticed that he was sweating like he was outside at noonday in the summer. Some of his bangs were clinging to his face so Kurome brushed them away. She gasped when she felt his hot forehead. She went back to the bathroom and grabbed a rag then wet it in cold water in the sink.

Kurome went back to her bed and put the cold rag on Kurama's forehead. Then she noticed that his shirt was bloody, so she started to undo it. She felt him shift, trying to resist,

"Sorry, but I can't stop the bleeding otherwise." She told him.

She took his shirt off and set it next to her on the floor. He has 3 deep sratch marks across his chest. She grabbed the rubbing alcohol and dabbed some on a cotton ball,

"This is going to sting, but it will hopefully keep your wounds from getting infected." She warned.

When she touched his skin with the cotton ball he winced in pain.

"Do you want me to continue?" Kurome asked.

Kurama nodded and Kurome continued to treat his wounds. Once she was done applying the rubbing alcohol she grabbed a towel.

"Can you sit up, just a little bit?" She asked.

Kurama struggled and was able to sit up enough for Kurome to place the towel under him. Then she placed another towel on top of his wounds.

"I don't have any bandages, so these will have to do until I can get some." She explained.

Kurome stood up and took the rag off of his forehead. She went to her bathroom then re-wet it with ice cold water. She walked back to Kurama and placed it on his head.

"Have you been sick lately?" Kurome asked.

"No, why do you ask that?" Kurama weakly replied.

"Because you're burning up." Kurome told him.

Kurama sat still in thought for a minute.

"Well I'm going to go and get some bandages." Kurome told him.

She walked over to her dresser and picked up a purple hand bag with a picture of a rabbit holding a pencil and making some comment about school.

"There's no need to do that." Kurama finally said.

Kurome turned towards him, "Why not?" she demanded.

"Because you don't need to bother yourself for me." he replied.

"Oh so now you're going to play Mr. I-don't-need-help?" Kurome said.

Then she left through her window. Kurama sighed, and fell asleep soon after.
