Hey all. For those who are just beginning to read this story, please know that I'm in the process of rewriting and modifying it. I started (and wrote most of) this 3 years ago, and had a VERY long hiatus before coming back to it now. In rereading it, there were several places where I flinched at my own writing xD (I'm starting college this year and my writing style has changed quite a bit). The rewriting process should be done within the week...and a new, very long chapter will be added! After a year of waiting, a whole new chapter! FINALLY!

For those who started reading a long time ago, please reread it and see what you think! I made the relationships a bit less...er....flippant .'' And tried to make the main female characters more mature.

Enjoy! And please comment me!

Chapter 1

"The Beginning"

I, Sarah, an American 18-year-old, grabbed the bowl of popcorn and a six-pack of grape soda and headed back into my bedroom, where my roommate for college, Natalie, was eating a big chunk of chocolate cake.

"So wait, what is this again?" asked Natalie.

"Ugh, for the billionth time, it's called 'Yu Yu Hakusho' and it's been-"

"Your favorite show since you were eleven, I KNOW! All I was asking was what this was ABOUT."

"Oh. Well, watch and see. Oh, and thank you SO much for getting me the entire series on tape!"

"Hey, no problem, you've given me so much money and now that I'm performin' with pay I can finally afford to pay you back." Natalie was a singer at the college hangout and got a huge amount of tips every week night.

I 'aw'ed and hugged her. "But you know that once you've been best friends with a person since you were two, it doesn't really matter that much."

"Oh, shut up and put the movie on."

I laughed and obliged. As the theme music started, I started to get light-headed.

"Oh no. No, not NOW!" This couldn't happen, not with Natalie here. I mean, she knew about my situation but I hated it when other people were around.

"Oh no, are you having another one?" She knew exactly what was going on.

"Yeah," I whispered as my vision got blurry and I felt myself losing contact with this era.

-…I was in … Koenma's office? … and Hiei was staring at us saying "Shut up baka onna" to Natalie , who was screaming and crying hysterically. Kurama, Yusuke, and Kuwabara were looking extremely uncomfortable…-

My vision corrected itself and Natalie was shaking me violently, staring at me with sincere concern in her eyes. "Sarah, SARAH!" I moaned as the usual headache came on. "What happened?"

I looked around; the TV screen was showing Yusuke floating in the air talking to Botan. "I have no idea." Suddenly, a great pressure settled in the air, and I felt myself being tugged by invisible hands. Natalie was obviously feeling the same thing, because she started screaming and thrashing against her invisible attacker. I knew better. For some reason, I knew that there was no reason to panic.

"Natalie, it's OK." I said even though I knew that she couldn't hear me. Suddenly the world I knew disappeared. I blacked out.
