The Day We Met

------------------------

The first day of school; the beginning of too many days that I truly hate. I've always hated school and the teachers in it. All they ever do is call your name and tell you to do pointless stuff like answer questions and come up to the board. They make you do work all the damn time. I'd kill them all if I had the chance. Well, that's what I've always wanted to do but never had the time. Sixth grade was over and seventh grade had just begun. There were so many things that I was already getting in trouble for and I was way beyond ready to just walk out but then; my thoughts on school changed. Well, only because of that day. The day you walked into class as a new student…the day we met.

"Class," Began the seventh grade teacher, Ms. Ueda at the doorway of the classroom. "We have a new student. I would like you all to welcome Mr. Jaganshi Hiei to our class."

As she walked into the class, a short, spiky haired boy walked in behind her. He barely stood at shoulder height to most students in the classroom, but his crimson eyes gave a cold stare that would send chills down anyone's spine. His spiked, black hair seemed to make him look almost a tad bit taller.

"Hello, Hiei." Said the class in unison.

"…"

"Well, Mr. Jaganshi, would you like to introduce yourself to the class?" Ms. Ueda smiled.

"…No."

"That's ok. You'll be sitting in the desk next to Yusuke. Yusuke, would you raise your hand for Hiei, please?"

Half of the class turned their attention to the back row where a student looked out the window to the left of him. His short, black hair was slicked back with a few bangs before his dark brown eyes. They turned to the front of the class to look at the new student, who stared coldly at him. Yusuke didn't even change his bored expression as he looked back out of the window.

"Why?" Yusuke asked in a smart-ass tone. "He can see where I am, it's not like he's stupid."

"Let's not do this today, Yusuke." Ms. Ueda said shortly.

"Tch. Whatever."

"Alright then, Mr. Jaganshi, take your seat so we may begin class." Ms. Ueda said with a smile.

Hiei said nothing and quietly made his way to his desk, glaring at the students who stared at him. Yusuke noticed Hiei's movements from the corner of his eye and looked over to watch him. Hiei scowled at Yusuke as he sat in his seat next to him. Yusuke growled back and turned his attention once more to outside the window.

--------------------------------------------------

"Thank God!" Yusuke said as the school bell rang.

Yusuke pushed against his desk and stood up, stretching. He walked out of the classroom and headed straight for the exit of the school. His walking pace slowly began to speed up to a jog as the front doors came into sight. 'Almost there…' Yusuke thought as he reached mere feet from the door.

"Yusuke Urameshi!" Called a familiar feminine voice.

'What timing!' Yusuke thought as he whipped around to see his 'favorite' nag.

"School's out, what do you want, Keiko?" Yusuke asked with a pout.

"Yusuke, you're missing almost every assignment in every class!" Keiko complained, her brown eyes looking into Yusuke's.

"Tch. Who gives a damn about my grades? I mean, tell me the last time I turned in an assignment in the past four years!" Yusuke said as he looked away from Keiko to the door to his freedom.

"Yusuke, you really need to pass your classes!" Keiko whined.

"I don't care about my classes!" Yusuke said as he began to inch to the front door.

"But your future jobs will." Keiko whined.

"So! Look, Keiko, I'm glad and all that you care about my grades, but if you cared that badly, whydon't you do it for me? Then you don't have to worry about me failing all of my classes." Yusuke said as he walked away.

Keiko let out an aggravated sigh and left Yusuke alone. No point in trying to force it on him. He'll just get pissed off and do something stupid. Not like that's new news but it'd be best to just leave him alone. Yusuke walked out of the double doors and left behind that hell called school. It was time to go home and sleep, just like he did the day before school started. He passed the school gates and was on his way home when he was once again stopped. This time by someone that he could tolerate.

"Urameshi!" called his tall, orange haired friend, Kuwabara.

"Hey, Kuwabara, how's it goin'?" Yusuke asked as Kuwabara ran up to him.

"Same old, same old. How about you?" Kuwabara asked as the two began to walk in the directionof Yusuke's home.

"Nothing new. Have you seen the new kid, yet?" Yusuke asked, looking to his peer.

"No, what's he look like?"

"Like he needs some stilts!" Yusuke laughed. "He's so short, I could barely see him when he walked into class today!"

"You serious!" Kuwabara laughed. "He must be a target for other students then!"

"I bet, but he's got a serious attitude. He's got this really cold look in his eyes like if you talked to him, he'd kill you." Yusuke said quietly.

"Really? Maybe he's just all talk."

"I don't know…He just seemed so serious. Like he wanted to kill every person in the room." Yusuke said as he looked to the sunset. "I don't like the way he looks at people."

"Hm…Well this is my stop. Try to lighten up, Urameshi. He's gotta be all talk." Kuwabara said as he turned from the street that he and Yusuke were walking on.

Yusuke nodded and continued walking, deep in thought. 'Maybe it's like Kuwabara said. He's all talk. But the way he looked at me just says that something about him is very different. He looks like he really would kill someone, but something won't let him…'

"Oh well! If he wants to fight then so be it!" Yusuke laughed out loud to the sky. "I'll kick his ass!"

Yusuke grinned to himself all the way to his house. When he reached the doorway, a stumbling drunk woman fell at him the moment he opened the door and greeted him with a drunken grin.

"Yusuke….Your late!" she slurred, waving her bottle of alcohol around.

"Not that you care." Yusuke said as he slung her arm over his shoulder and led her to the couch in the living room.

"Wha'd you say to me?" she asked as she strayed from Yusuke's shoulder to the couch.

"Nothing." Yusuke said as he walked to the hallway.

"Yusuke!"

Yusuke turned around and faced his mother who looked at him as seriously as a drunk could. Her brown hair was frizzy and sticking out and she had bags under her dirt colored eyes; a sign that she had been up later than usual. She took a deep drink from the bottle of alcohol she had been waving around and took a slight breath.

"Make me some dinner. I gotta leave in about a half hour." She said as she took another drink.

"What! Why don't you get off your lazy ass and do it yourself!" Yusuke asked, enraged.

"Because I'm your mother and I told you to." Atsuko said as she swayed in her seat.

"Do it yourself. I'm not your slave." Yusuke said as he walked into the hallway.

"You live under my roof, so you'll obey as I tell you to." She yelled loudly before taking another drink from her bottle.

"Shove it, mother." Yusuke said as he slammed his door shut.

"Yusuke!" his mother called loudly.

Yusuke ignored his mother as she screamed and yelled his name over and over. After some time of silence she made her way over to Yusuke's door and beat on it mercilessly.

"YUSUKE! OPEN THIS DOOR NOW!" Atsuko screeched as she pulled on the locked doorknob.

Silence.

"YUSUKE! DO IT NOW!" she yelled angrily.

Still nothing.

Atsuko knelt onto her knees and began sobbing. Large tears glided down her cheeks and onto her yellow button shirt and blue jeans.

"Yusuke…." She wailed.

But no one answered back.

"Yusuke, come out here!" she cried as she laid her head against the door. "Please."

Silence was the only thing that answered her call.

"Yusuke." She choked.

Nothing.

Yusuke lay in his favorite bench in his favorite park. His hands supported his head as a pillow as he stared at the slowly darkening sky. Small stars began appear in the blue-ish orange sky, symbolizing that night was on its way. Yusuke closed his eyes and slowly began to drift to sleep…

Yusuke could see nothing but darkness. Just pitch black, but as if there were people with him; there were voices- arguing voices that could be heard loud and clear.

" Are you serious?" called a voice.

"I don't really know." Said another.

"What do you mean?"

"I mean I can't really determine what I am."

"What will happen if you do?"

"I don't know."

"You do! You simply refuse to tell me!"

"It's harder than you think!"

" I honestly doubt that! We've been through thick and thin together! The least you can do is tell me!"

"Despite that knowledge, I just can't tell you. Something bad may happen."

"I've known you for five years! Long enough to know when you can and can't do something!"

"I can read you like a book, but there are a lot of things you won't tell me so we're even."

"I won't tell you because…I worry."

"What could you possibly worry about?"

"You."

"What do you mean? Since when have you ever worried about me?"

"Since the time I…"

"Since the time you what?"

"Since the time I fell in love with you…"

"…"

"Really. I seriously thought I was losing my mind to begin with…But I accept that I am the way I am…I've always been worried that you wouldn't though…"

"…"

"There. You know."

"I've always felt the same way…"

Yusuke woke under black, crying clouds. His slicked back hair was soaked, rinsing out all of the hair gel in his hair. His bangs now hung low in his face, almost covering his eyes as he sat up. He wiped the rain from his face and looked around.

'What was all that about? What a weird dream…' He thought as he stood in his soaked clothes.

Yusuke shivered and sneezed. The weather was cold today. Colder than usual when it rains, autumn must be on it's way. A sigh escaped Yusuke's lips as he walked away from his bench. There was no where interesting to go, nothing interesting to do but go home, get yelled at by his mother and sleep. He ran a rain soaked hand through his hair and walked out of the park with his hands shoved deep into his pockets.

In a nearby tree, a small boy who looked about the age of ten crouched on a thick branch and watched Yusuke as he walked out of the park. His spiked black hair was soaked, but remained stubbornly upright, and his bangs clung closely to his forehead and over his crimson eyes. When Yusuke walked past a tree, the young boy appeared on one of the branches in the blink of an eye. Yusuke walked around the city, unsuspecting of his follower's presence as he jumped from tree to tree or building to building. When nothing interesting happened, he grew bored and left Yusuke to walk home alone in the black, lonely streets that were soaked in the tears of the black clouds that watched sadly over Yusuke.

Even though secrets are lost in our eyes,

We will never break our embrace.

Pale January moon,

Hide the morning's glow.

The gentle dawn of a

Night that should not end.
