Okay, Im not really sure what I'm thinking in writing this, but hey, whatever. I'm kind of hoping this will turn out good, but right now I'm not sure.

Ah well, hope you enjoy my newest story /goes off to finish Love and Lust/

Reveiws make me feel loved!!

Shiota City, a real spawning ground for all of hells little miscreants, if not the center of hell itself. The majority of the buildings were rundown and it seemed like they could tell you all kinds of stories about how they ended up that way. Unfortunately for Yusuke Urameshi, it was also home to one of the better colleges in Japan. How it ended up in this hellhole… he could only guess. The only explanation he could fathom as he made his way through the streets, looking for a specific house, was that the city had once been prosperous, but had rotted from the inside out. How the school was still as good as everyone said was anybody's guess. Urameshi shook his head. Ah who cared if the city sucked? When you get a scholarship to one of the best colleges, you tend not to give two fucks about where it is. Yeah, Yusuke was NOT in anyway, book smart. But he was good at fighting, a trait that had gotten him kicked out of various high schools, but had also landed him this martial arts scholarship. Suddenly, the boy stopped and ran a hair though his midnight black hair.

"437 Broad, I guess this is it." He mumbled to himself, looking up at the large house. Since the scholarship didn't cover living expenses, Yusuke had been nudged toward public housing with other students. At first glance, the house didn't look all that bad, the paint needed to be redone, but it didn't look like it would fall apart. They must keep it running pretty well. Oh well, it could be worse. He thought, walking up to the door. Fearing the worst, he knocked on the solid wood, sending an echo into the house. Not more than three seconds later, the door was pulled open by a boy half hidden in shadow. He had black hair that stuck straight up in the air and deep, crimson eyes. For a second, Yusuke thought he had the wrong house. The kid must have been less than five feet tall for crying out loud!

"Well? What the hell do you want?" He snapped, an angry glare forming. "Or do you enjoy wasting my time?" He just sounded pleasant as hell. Yusuke was beginning to regret this decision. Obviously, this was not a kid, but someone a little older than Yusuke. The glare he was giving was starting to make Yusuke's skin crawl.

"Uh, I'm supposed to be living here…" He said in a pathetic voice. The boy looked him up and down for a second before stepping aside to allow access to the house.

"Well I don't have all damn day." He said, turning and walking into the surprisingly bright room. Now that he could see more clearly, Yusuke got a better look at the boy. He was dressed all in black: black hoodie, black tank top, black jeans, and e had one little stud in his lower lip. He looked tough too, not like a punk who was good at martial arts, more like someone who had to fight his whole life. "I can feel your stare," He said, giving the other boy a look with those demon-like eyes. "Keep doing it and I'll remove your eyes." Was this guy not a morning person or something?? Before Yusuke could say anything, the boy looked at his watch and cursed. Snarling, he made his way through the foyer and into a more spacious looking living room. Yusuke followed him, more out of curiosity than anything. Up the stairs they went and into a room. The boy flicked on the light and nearly barked at the figure in the bed.

"Get up!"The sheer volume made Yusuke jump in fright, the figure; however, stayed motionless. The boy grabbed the covers and ripped them off the person, who snarled, and angry sound. "Dammit! You're going to hear it from Kurama if you don't get the hell up!"Turns out, the occupant of the bed was a girl. A girl with wild black and white streaked hair and cyan colored eyes. It also happened to be a girl who didn't appreciate getting woken up. She threw out a hand and caught the boy across the face, sending him backward and off the bed.

"Hiei! Get out of here! I am trying to sleep!" Her yelling wasn't as impressive as Hiei's, but it was much angrier. The two began to shout at each other until the volume of it all was the equivalent to a rock concert. Yusuke was done with this madness. He took a deep breath.

"Would both of you kindly shut the fuck up?!"He bellowed, drowning both of them out. Immediately, they stopped bickering and turned to stare at him.

"Who is this?" The girl asked, her temper suddenly gone as she stared blankly at him. Hiei shrugged and brushed past the other boy.

"Another tenant I assume," He said, casting a look over his shoulder. "I just came up here to tell you to get up. You can't sleep the day away. You know you have to go to class today. Of course, he'll need to go meet Kurama" It sounded like he was giving her instructions. She sighed and rolled out of her bed, landing neatly on the floor, wearing only a bra and panties.

"I'm Yukara," She said with a pleasant smile that threw Yusuke off guard. Was this not the girl that was just ready to kill Hiei? "I guess we should take you to see Kurama. He does run the house you know. Any new tenants have to be run by him first." Still in her skimpy pajamas, she silently led the way back downstairs. They wandered back into the living room, to one of the few couches in the area. Someone, Kurama possibly, was lying under a blanket. Yusuke only saw a shock of dark red hair from under the thing. Yukara reached down and shook the figure.

"Kurama, get up. There's someone here to talk to you," She was promptly ignored as Kurama mumbled something that sounded like 'No school mother' Yukara sighed. "Come on! Up!" She said pulling the blanket of the boy's head.

"Ah! Cold!" He muttered, his eyes opening. Yusuke felt his breath hitch for a second, just a second. This Kurama had rose-red hair that stuck out in ever direction, but his eyes… they were emerald green and they had this warmth to them that just caught the other's attention. "Unh, what time is it?" He asked, rubbing his eyes. "And who on earth does it reek of fish in here?"

"What the hell's he talking about?" Yusuke whispered to Yukara. She chuckled and straightened up.

"Kurama's always a little fuzzy when he first wakes up, he'll be fine as soon as he's more awake. The red-head nodded.

"Coffee…" He mumbled, his head lolling forward. Another chuckle from the girl.

"Keiko's making some now. Come on now up! I think the other's are in the kitchen," The last line was directed at Yusuke. "You can go meet them while I try to wake him up." Deciding that was a good idea, Yusuke walked towards the direction of voices, the occasional moving of dishes, and the smell of food. Four people sat around the table, waiting for food. One was Hiei, but the other three he hadn't met yet. One was a very cute girl with shoulder length, brown hair and chocolate colored eyes, another girl had odd, unnaturally, light blue hair tired up in a ponytail and even weirder pale pink eyes. The last was a boy; he was wide, well built, with orange-brown hair and copper colored eyes.

'Man, I could learn to like it around here. Look at all the cute girls!'Yusuke's 'other' brain began to think, and it took willpower to shut it up. The brunette turned when she noticed the new person.

"Oh hi!" She said pleasantly, reaching out and grabbing his hand. "I'm Keiko! Are you the new guy Hiei's been telling us about?" Before he had a chance to answer, she pointed out the other two to him. The blue haired girl was Botan, and the boy was Kuzuma. Yusuke grinned. He liked this girl's energy.

"So, what are you studying, Yusuke?" Botan asked, flipping her hair over her shoulder. "What brings you to our little school?" Yusuke shrugged.

"Uh, I got a scholarship for martial arts, other than that, I never really thought about studies," He watched their facial expressions, waiting for one of them to scoff. Luckily, he didn't have to wait long before Hiei added his two cents.

"Pathetic." He muttered, looking straight into Yusuke's eyes.

"Oh sure, coming from someone who takes Dark Arts kind of classes!" Botan argued, giving him a look that he plainly ignored. "And need I remind you, you're the captain of the kendo club?" At this, Hiei made a sound like a hiss and turned away.

"Oh stop fighting you two!" Keiko said, waving her hand in mild-panic. "Come on, drink the caffeine and feel better!" At the mention of caffeine, Kuzuma, who had been ass deep in the fridge, looking for food, appeared.

"Ah finally the coffee!" He grabbed a cup and chugged it, not taking the heat into consideration. As expected, he dropped the cup and howled in agony, clutching his throat. Yusuke fought and failed at trying not to laugh. He'd only been in the house for about thirty minutes, but he liked these people. A dark goth, a bipolar maniac, a very pretty boy, a cheerleader, a referee, and an idiot. He could see himself living here for a while.
