DISCLAIMER: I don't own Yu Yu Hakusho. If I did, I'd never share Yoko or Suichi.
I'd like to dedicate this story to Our Lady of Fatima's Class of 2004, especially to Diane, Kat, Michael, and any of the other idiots like us who had to stay in the school for a whopping 10 years. Imagine if we were as crazy as these guys... I'll miss all of you, no matter how much I say I won't. Well, most of you.
Promise Me Forever
By: rogueicephoenix
Prologue: Promises Made
Suichi Kurama Minamino, Yoko Kurama Minamino, and Hiei Koorime-Jaganshi huddled together in the schoolyard, talking quietly. The four-year-olds were initiating their secret pact once again.
"Best friends forever?" Yoko asked solemnly.
"Yup."
"Yup."
"And we'll share our cookies at snacktime forever?"
"Yup."
"Um... Yup."
"Oooooooooh! S'weeeechi and Yokoooooo and Hiiiiiiiiei are telling seeeeecrets!" Kazuma Kuwabara yelled at the top of his lungs, bringing the rest of that kindergarten class running to the once private circle.
"No! No we're not! Kazuma's lying again!" Hiei desperately said.
"What's the secret, Hiei?" his sweet twin sister asked.
"Nothing..." but his resolve was weakening and Yukina knew it.
"Pretty please, Hiei?"
The little boy looked to Yoko and Suichi, who both shrugged.
"Fine. Listen to Yoko, 'cause he's the one who thought of it. We all have to promise, 'kay?"
"Promise to be friends forever?... Promise to share our cookies at snacktime forever?... Promise to tell each other everything forever?... Promise to keep secrets forever?..."
Fourteen children present.
Fourteen promises made.
But as secrets emerged, how many would be kept?
Notes: Thanks for reading! Anyone who's read(ing) YSUtS! will see that this story's a bit different, and a complete AU. I know I was thinking about writing a sequel to it, but my brain needs a break from Hogwarts. Just a warning: I've put a lot of OC's in this fic, and it's set in New York, in a Catholic School rather than in Japan. Anyone who complains about my choice to call Kuwabara by his first name or my choice to make him and Yusuke friends from the very beginning will be clobbered with a nice aluminum bat. Oh, and another warning: This is just a trial chapter. If no one likes it, I'm pulling it. Anyway, please review!
