Prologue
The day was still young when Sarayashiki Junior High's bells rang and the classes were finally dismissed. Laughing youths flooded out the door like some kind of tsunami on the ground. The blue uniforms further created the illusion, as the males jostled one enough out the door to gather in small clumps in the main courtyard. Some of them ran off immediately, anxious to be home, but most lingered in the courtyard. Some remained to talk, some waited for rides, and some tried to impress the chosen female of the week. The young girls and energetic boys hardly took note of the solitary figure standing alone near the gate. The heavy gray shawl wrapped securely around his shoulders, he merely watch the flood of young adults slowly taper off as all the students were finally released. A long hood cast shadows over his face, but strands of yellow hair caught the sun when he shifted.
A single student caught the figure's attention. Alone among its blue brethren, a single green jumpsuit strolled leisurely through the door and stretched widely in the sunshine. The young man wearing it yawned hugely, and steadfastly ignored the companion beside him, who was talking energetically, waving his hands in the air as he made a point. The green jumpsuit went well with the black hair, as it had so long ago, when that youth standing at the entrance to his middle school had thwarted one of the greatest plans in the history of humanity..
"Yusuke Urameshi.." The figure whispered to himself, his voice soft, and pleasant to the ear, "At long last I've found you.."
Yusuke drifted slowly onto the street, and the figure followed.
