Hi people. Actually, I'm just going to get straight to the point that I'm not good at writing and this could suck. But, I just want to try writing something anyways. I haven't actually watched YYH for a looooooong time. (I'm not old!) Anyways, this is my first attempt in writing an YYH fanfic so, be easy on me a bit! If I suck, then it's okay if you just don't read it. Deal, Deal. But if you find it interesting, how about reviewing a short comment?
Chapter 1: Dead or Alive?
I am dead.
I died earlier today in a small dark alley at night. Some random guy walked up to me and kidnapped me while I was distracted because of my thoughts. He threatened me with a gun as he told me to follow his demands if I wanted to live. His demand was for me to have you-know-what with him. Of course, I refused. I'd rather die than have my pride stepped upon and so, I did. Kind of Pathetic, don't you think? Please don't ask me how I ended up in that small dark alley because you'll know later on.
And now, I'm staring at a small baby who claims to be a prince in a place where they call the 'Spirit World'.
"Hello there. It seems like you've died." Said the baby. I'm not calling him a prince. He doesn't look like one anyway.
"…Yes I have so, why the hell is my body still intact?" I asked.
"Right now, you're still dead. Now, it's just your soul that is here." Said the baby like it was the most normal thing in the whole world.
"...so...this is like heaven? I'm pretty sure I wasn't that much of a good kid. Huh." I muttered as the baby just heavily sighed.
"Like I have said before, this is Spirit World. In other words, Reikai. Every person that dies has to come here. Although, I choose who I talk to and who I let die in peace." Explained the baby.
"So, you're not going to let me die. Am I right? Cause if I'm right, it's too late. I'm dead." I said blankly. He face palmed.
"Why are you so oblivious! I'm basically asking you if you want to live or not!" said the baby who was getting annoyed by the moment.
"Yes I want to live. Who doesn't?" I said back while tilting my head innocently. He sighed while scratching his head furiously.
"But I still don't understand…" I started. He looked at me and stopped scratching his head like he has lice in them.
"Why are you offering me another chance in life?" I asked.
"I'm not offering you another chance at life for free." Said the baby. I raised one of my eyebrows, interested in what he has to say.
"So, basically I want you to do me a favor. In return, I will resurrect you back to life." Said the baby.
"And what is it that you want me to do?" I asked.
"I want you to aid Yusuke Urameshi in his job as a spirit detective." Said Koenma bluntly. I blinked once and twice. What the heck did he just say?
"Mind asking what a spirit detective is?" I said.
"A spirit detective is just like the name says. A detective from the spirit world. He's basically someone who does jobs for us." Explained Koenma.
"Right…and I'm supposed to be Watson or something?" I said with a scowl on my face.
"No, this isn't Sherlock Homes! You know him already, don't you?" Koenma said.
To answer his question, yes, I do. He's my classmate. The badass punk of Sarayashiki Junior High School. It's the school that I go to. I haven't really noticed him that much but I guess we are kind off alike. We're both total loners with a bad attitude. Not many people get involved with him much. After all, he is known for a bad temper.
"Yes, I do." I answered back.
"Good. He's still pretty new so, he isn't that strong yet. I want you to help him in exchange for another chance in life." Said the baby.
"…Deal." I said. He smiled.
"Good choice. Oh and by the way, my name is Koenma." Said the baby who is now named Koenma.
"So, what do I need to know to aid him?" I asked as I twirled my dark yellow blondish locks of hair around.
"You will be fighting against demons along side him." Said Koenma. I gaped at him dumbly. Demons? Is this baby...for real? Well now that I think about it, nothing since the beginning made much sense.
"Now I'm convinced you're just a baby and that this is a stupid dream. Seriously, Demons? Who the hell believes in such a stupid thing?" I said while chuckling.
"I'm serious." Said Koenma seriously enough. One look at his face and I stopped laughing and immediately went back into bad-ass mode.
"…I'm not convinced. Who the hell would believe a small baby who she just met in what, some random place they claim to be heaven?" I said back emotionlessly. He sighed.
"Well, let's have you meet one." Said Koenma as he pulled out a small guy with vibrant red hair from a small vile. I walked closer to see him.
"His name's Rando. Yusuke caught him about 10 minutes before you died. Now do you believe me?" asked Koenma. I stared at this small demon named Rando. He was actually jumping around and sulking inside. I looked amused.
"…I guess I believe you then…but one thing." I said. Koenma smiled.
"What?" he asked.
"…how am I supposed to fight? With hands, fists, and kicks?" I said confused.
"Well, of course, we're going to train your spirit powers. Don't worry. You'll be able to get the hang of things fast since you do know how to fight already and use a sword right? You have quite an unexpected amount of power." Said Koenma with a smile. I gulped.
Is he a…stalker? How does he know that I can fight and use a sword? Oh right…he's like god who knows anything and everyone including dead people. I learned to use the sword as self-defense. I kept it a secret from my parents though. I usually run outside at night in a small and dark place to practice alone. That way, nobody would interrupt me...and I just answered your question from before. How I ended up in the alley? Yeah, I was practicing my swords when this creep just leaped out of nowhere. It was kind of dark so my eyes were just too drooping to catch any movement and I ended up dying. What luck.
"Why do I have the feeling that this so called training won't be easy?" I asked.
"It won't be of course." Said Koenma as he snapped his fingers. Suddenly, the door behind me opened and a young lady with blue hair and a pink kimono stepped out.
"You called, Koenma sir?" said the lady.
"Hello, Botan. Mine training her a little?" said Koenma. So that girl's name is Botan.
"Not at all, sir!" Botan said as she jumped towards me. I looked at her.
"Hello there, young girl! What's your name?" she said while smiling. Figures. She's the type of girls I hate. I hate those bouncy and cheerful girls. It makes me feel so….arg!
"…call me Rin." I said. She smiled.
"Then let's get training!" she said as she grabbed my hands and yanked me forward out of the room.
I took one last glance at Koenma. He just smirked. I glared at him before I turned my attention back to Botan. She led me to a training room. It was a huge room with plain white walls. It had no furniture in it. I stared at the room as Botan pushed me inside the room. She turned and locked the door with a jingle of the keys. She turned towards me with a huge smile.
"Let's start training your spirit energy." She said. Then, we started training and let me tell you…it was hell.
Time Skip 3 months later…
"Now you're in tip-top shape! I'm actually surprised! You handle that sword very well and you're fast too!" said Botan happily.
I sighed and flopped down onto the floor. Surely, you guys don't know how much of a Spartan Botan can be. I felt like fainting tons of times…I don't even know how I managed to get through it…but because of it, I really got stronger. I learned some attacks using my spirit energy. My energy was kind of purple colored. Most of them were long distance. Also, I learned close combat. But, I still have far more to learn.
"Uh, Rin? It's about time you go help Yusuke with his case…" Botan said. I raised my head up from the floor.
"Right…do you think I'll last long in this case?" I asked Botan.
"I-I-I really…don't…know!" said Botan.
"So that training was for nothing was it?" I said glaring at her.
"No! It helped you get stronger. I mean, now you can protect yourself! You can even shoot out your energy!" said Botan. I rolled my eyes. How reassuring that was…
"Anyway, to briefly explain, you will be going to the demon world to destroy the four saint beasts. They have a special whistle that makes them able to control insects that can take over human bodies. Don't underestimate them because they are strong." Said Botan who was suddenly serious. I looked at her and nodded. Then, she smiled again.
"Well, let's get going then! First, Koenma will bring you back to life." said Botan. I breathed in and out and in and out. Then I walked towards Koenma's room with Botan. We opened the door and there he was, the baby prince, sitting on his chair.
"Hello there. Have you gotten stronger?" asked Koenma. I just smiled at him and pointed at Botan.
"Atleast she thinks so." I said. Botan turned to me grinning sheepishly. I smirked in the inside. Ha! If I fail to do anything, you'll be taking the blame for me, Botan!
"Actually, I think you're doing fine. I watched some of your fights. You are probably the same level as Yusuke now. Maybe even further." Said Koenma. I beamed in the inside, again. No way am I going to look like an idiot in front of a…baby who sucks on a pacifier!
"Wait…if you know how strong I am, why waste your saliva to ask?" I said raising one of my eyebrows. He sighed.
"You know, I think you and Yusuke may just become best friends…" He said.
"I agree with that one." Giggled Botan. I glared at both of them. They immediately froze and stopped.
"How about you just resurrect me already?" I said.
"Right…no need to be impatient." Said Koenma.
"Yes, I want to go back to life here." I said while tapping my shoes impatiently.
"Fine. I'll bring you back to life. Don't forget though, that you still have to help Yusuke." Said Koenma as he took out his pacifier.
"Yes, I won't forget." I said as I prepared myself.
"Good. Then Here goes !" said Koenma as his pacifier shown. That was the last thing I saw before I blacked out.
"Arg…the hell?" I said as I rubbed my head. I looked around my surroundings. There were cars, streets, people, and buildings. So…I guess I'm back to the living world then. I got up and brushed myself up. I was still wearing the same thing that I was wearing before I died. A blue shirt, white hoodie, black shorts, and a pair of sneakers. I sighed. So, where to now?
"We'll be going to Yusuke." Said a certain cheerful voice. I looked up to see Botan dressed in all red with a bat in her hand.
"…Right…to Yusuke…" I said while rolling my eyes. She dragged me towards a small and dark alley. I think it was the same one where I died in. What irony. We walked for a few minutes before I saw him. Yusuke Urameshi and another guy in our class, Kazuma Kuwabara. They were fighting against several humans who looked…really purple. I just stared at the fight.
"That's him there." Botan said. I didn't answer. I was evaluating Yusuke. If he's the spirit detective, then he better be strong. In less than one minute, they beat all of those purple freaks like nothing. I nodded in approval once I saw Yusuke's shot gun. It blew out the enemies like nothing.
"What do you think?" Botan asked. I looked at her.
"…not bad." I said. Botan sighed.
"Not much of a talker are you?" Botan asked.
"No. I'm antisocial, due to some tragic past in which I won't tell you about it." I said back bluntly. Botan just shook her head. Suddenly, another purple freak sneaked up behind Yusuke and Kuwabara.
"Here's your chance to show them what you can do." Nudged Botan. I looked at her. I guess she wants me to get rid of it for her. I sighed and put one of my hands in front of me. Then I gathered my spirit energy into my palm and shot it out like a blast.
"Holy crap!" said Kuwabara as he turned back to see the purple freak who crept up at them be burnt into a crisp.
"Wait a minute… I didn't tell you to kill him!" Botan pouted. I shrugged.
"Too bad I just did…accidentally." I said.
"You're lying." Botan demanded. I didn't respond to that. Botan rolled her eyes and dragged me out of our hiding place. Yusuke and Kuwabara turned towards us.
"Botan? What are you doing here?" asked Yusuke.
"To tell you about your next mission." Botan said seriously.
"Now wait a minute, I just got back from grandma's training. No way I'm going to go on another one so soon!" yelled Yusuke back.
"You have to. Here's why." Botan said as she walked over to the pile of dead purple corpses. We followed her.
"Take a look at their mouths." Said Botan. We leaned in to see inside their mouths. Out crawled a green looking insect.
"Ew…." Mumbled Kuwabara.
"Arg! Tell me I didn't just see a bug crawl out from his throat…" said Yusuke.
"Now that is sick." I commented blankly.
"It's called the Makai insect. They inject themselves into the human body and take absolute control over them. When that happens, the human loses control and others will definitely deem them psychotic. Finding a cure would probably not be the first on their list." Botan explained.
"But then how are we supposed to stop them?" said Yusuke.
"I'll explain that." I said as I stepped in. All heads turned to me.
"According to what Botan here has told me, these insects are controlled by someone and that someone is our enemy. They call themselves the Four Saint Beasts. They possess a whistle that makes them able to control these insects freely. Our mission is to destroy this whistle as to stop these insects from infiltrating the human world. That is your job as spirit detective." I said.
"Right, pretty lady but who the hell are you?" said Yusuke as he pointed a finger at me. I raised my eyebrows.
"Really now…you don't know me? I feel sad as your classmate…" I said sarcastically.
"You're my classmate?" said Yusuke.
"Considering how you skip school a lot, you probably don't know me. I'm Rin and I'm here to help you in this case…by the orders of a baby who really doesn't look like a prince." I said as I scowled. Yusuke stared at me. I glared back. Then he smiled.
"Rin, was it? I think we might get along well. What do you say we kick some asses and make some soup out of these beasts?" commented Yusuke. I grinned. He wasn't that bad of a guy. He fits me pretty well...and his sense of humor is amazing in my dictionary. Yeah, what a guy.
"Nicely put." I said I smacked him lightly in the back. Botan face palmed.
"I knew you two were going to become best buds…sigh…" Botan said.
"Anyways, Botan here has opened a small portal hole for us. We can use it to reach their castle in Demon World. Be careful though. The enemies can use this portal too so, we better win this." I said.
"Right, and what if we lose?" asked Yusuke.
"I don't think I need to tell you what will happen if all the demons in the castle was to be released in the living world." Botan said seriously. Yusuke gulped hard in understanding.
"Hey! What about me…" Kuwabara suddenly said. All heads turned to him.
"Uh…HAHA! Oh don't listen to what we just said! Demons, yes demons! Who would believe in such things?" Botan suddenly ranted.
"Botan…he probably has enough spirit awareness to let him see the demons." I commented. Botan stopped ranting.
"Uh…right." Botan said as she cleared her throat.
"So anyways, Yusuke. You will be defeating these four saint beasts along with Rin and…Kuwabara too if he is willing to." Said Botan.
"Of course I am! Anything for you, pretty lady!" Kuwabara said as he gazed hotly at Botan. I stifled a laugh at Botan's reaction.
"Botan. Your face just now was priceless!" I said as I started to laugh a bit.
"Be quiet, Rin!" Botan said as she scowled. Then Kuwabara turned towards me. I froze. Don't tell me…
"And you are pretty too. Rin right? What a pretty name. I'm the hot and strongest punk ever, Kuwabara. You can call me Kazuma." Said Kuwabara as he looked at me with sparkly eyes. I rolled my eyes.
"As much as I want to date you, I'm scared my baby is going to come out looking very ugly with an inferior face and a weird hairdo." I said bluntly. Kuwabara froze. Wind blew. Yusuke bursted out laughing...and Botan stifled a giggle.
"THAT WAS VERY NICELY PUT!" Yusuke said as he put an arm around my shoulders.
"Wha-wha…OKAY THAT'S IT! NO MORE PRETTY LADY FOR YOU!" yelled Kuwabara.
"Not that I liked it." I said back.
"Don't worry Kuwabara…she's just a little antisocial." Botan said.
"But still…she's mean!" said Kuwabara. I rolled my eyes.
"Cry baby…" I muttered under my breath so that he wouldn't hear me. Yusuke did though. He grinned at Kuwabara.
"Okay now, guys and girls. We have four beasts to beat so let's hurry up." Said Botan as she pushed all of us towards the portal. It was green with mist coming out of it. Yusuke gulped.
"Do I need to go in here?" Yusuke asked.
"Don't worry. It's not dangerous at all." I said.
"How do you know?" said Kuwabara.
"Been through it before…atleast I think I have." I answered back as I thought about Koenma's pacifier trick earlier.
"Now before I forget, Yusuke. I'm going to give you this to contact with me." Said Botan as she handed him a small mirror. I leaned in to take a look at it.
"Thanks now let's go then!" Yusuke yelled as he forced himself to not back out of the fight and jumped into the hole.
"Wait for me!" said Kuwabara as he jumped into the hole. I rolled my eyes and walked towards the hole and hopped in. That was the last thing I saw before I landed in a totally different world.
Done with the first chapter. How was it? Sorry if it sucks… :( Please review though.
