And no $ what so ever is made from this insane piece! Rurouni Kenshin & Yu Yu Hakusho crossover: More Than Ordinary ~ Prologue continue... By Jen Kurama: ‘ ’Kaasan, I’m leaving now!’ ‘Hai’ shouted a voice from the kitchen, ‘Take care.’ I smiled as the door closed behind me. I promised Yuusuke I would meet him in the park before school this morning, and so I set out earlier than usual. As expected, I was the first. * Late again. * I thought. Just as I sat down by the tree, I felt Yuusuke’s Reiki rushing round the corner. Soon after, the voice of the ki's owner rang through the serene atmosphere of the park. ‘KURAMA!!!!!!!!’ And within seconds, he appeared before me. *When will he learn to control that volumn of his? * I wondered. But knowing him for almost 4 years, I should know better than that. ‘Ohaiyo, Yuusuke!’ I smiled at him, ‘and it’s SHUUICHI.’ ‘Sorry,’ Yuusuke laughed, ‘It's too early in the morning!’ he paused to catch his breath and slumped down next to me. ‘What was I going to say… o, yeah, did Koenma tell you anything about recruiting new detectives?’ ‘New detectives?’ I was surprised. ‘No, he hasn't. Is Koenma planning a new team?’ ‘Hell no!’ Yuusuke exclaimed. ‘We’re the best team he’ll ever find on the face of the Earth!’ I laughed. With a grin on his face, he carried on. ‘All he wants is a new member. He didn’t mention it to you at all? Obviously he only told me!’ I thought for a while, ‘Maybe Koenma wants to find…’ [ BANG!! ] Botan’s crash landing stopped me mid-sentence. *Thank Inari-sama there’s no one near by! * I thought with relief. ‘Oi Botan,’ Yuusuke said as he helped her up, ‘That was a very professional landing.’ ‘Mou Yuusuke…’ Botan wailed, ‘it’s not funny…’ she trailed off as she adjusted her kimono. ‘Anyway, I’ve got some exciting news for you!’ She added at the end. ‘Ohaiyo, Botan,’ I said politely, ‘what news do you have?’ ‘Kurama! Ohaiyo gozaimasu!’ Botan greeted. ‘You should really learn some manners from Kurama you know, Yuusuke… oh, I digress again…’ she giggled, ‘Koenma-sama has just recruited a new member for the team.’ ‘We were just talking about that you know.’ Yuusuke said, ‘Koenma told me something about a new member last night.’ ‘Koenma-sama can be such a party-pooper sometimes,’ Botan pouted, ‘I was planning to make it a surprise!’ ‘When are we going to meet this new member?’ I inquired. ‘She is already waiting actually, so as soon as we find Hiei and Kuwabara, we can go!’ Botan replied. ‘SHE???’ Yuusuke and I exclaimed in the same time. ‘Yup!’ Botan looked at us and giggled, ‘and just wait till you meet her…’ * * * * * At 4 o’clock, we met at the front gate of my school. As I waited for them to appear, the rest of my school piled out. ‘Minnamino-san’ was heard everywhere. *Why do they have to choose this place at this time? * I moaned mentally. With the growing crowd of girls around me, I could only smiled at them. Then, the usual socializing began. After minutes of what seemed a century of smiling I swore to myself that Yuusuke and the others were to pay for my suffering. ‘Oi! Shuuichi!’ Finally, salvation arrived. ‘Yuusuke! Kuwabara!’ I shouted over the crowd. Turning back to the girls, I smiled apologetically, ‘I’m very sorry, but I’ve got to go now.’ With that I left to join my friends. ‘Couldn't you have come a little bit earlier?’ I said with much exhaustion. ‘We thought you might like a bit of attention.’ Kuwabara chuckled. Within seconds, both of them were in hysterics. ‘Yeah, right,’ I replied sarcastically, ‘You’re not the one whos have to go though this EVERYDAY.’ I gave them a few minutes before I moved on to the more serious topic, ‘Where’s Botan?’ ‘She’s still looking for Hiei,’ Yuusuke said, managed to stop laughing finally, ‘They should be here in any minute.’ By then, we had got round to the back of the school and was waiting the last 2 people. Soon, Botan arrived with a very grumpy Hiei. ‘Gomen…’ Botan said, ‘It’s very difficult to locate Hiei you know.’ While opening a portal to Reikai, her excitement began to build up once again. ‘Hurry, don’t let the lady wait!’ and ushered us through the portal impatiently. Within seconds, we arrived at Koenma’s office. [KNOCK, KNOCK] ‘Come in.’ Botan opened the door and we filed in with Yuusuke in the lead. ‘Oi Koenma, what’s up…’ and stopped dead at what he saw. Kuwabara bumped into him and started complaining, ‘Why the hell did you stop suddenly, Urameshi?’ He looked past Yuusuke’s shoulder and he jaws nearly dropped. Hiei was as indifferent as always, and being right at the back, I had to walk round to see this ‘shock’. And understanding came to me. I was as surprised as the two were, but due to okaasan’s bringing up, I knew it was rude to stare. The ‘shock’ was the girl next to Koenma. She was attractive no doubt, with black hair flowing down to her shoulder and violet eyes fitting perfectly in her delicate face. Another thing I noticed about her was her kimono. It was weird enough to see a girl in a kimono, and being a 400-year-old youko, I recognized the style was from around the Meiji period. ‘Enough staring?’ Koenma broke the silence. Yuusuke and Kuwabara snapped out it of it almost immediately, and Botan stood giggling in the corner. Koenma cleared his throat and began, ‘Let me introduce, this is Himura Yuki, the newest team member.’ * * * * * Yuki: After the encounter in the forest a few days ago, dad kept a close eye on me. He made no effort in hiding the fact that he was looking out for me, for he knew I inherited his sense of alertness and it would become a hide and seek game if either of us got serious. Koenma didn’t show up or send any messages in these few days, and even if he decided that he wanted me for anything, he’d better be very subtle about it. Somehow, Koenma had found out what an awkward situation I was in and picked his time really well. He suddenly appeared at the Dojo doorstep when dad accompanied mom on a shopping spree. ‘Konnichiwa, Yuki-san.’ He greeted, ‘ready to meet the team?’ ‘Yeah,’ I said, ‘you do know how to choose your moment to appear, don't you? But maybe you could tell me a method how to contact you, or how you would get to me next time?’ ‘Sure,’ he nodded, ‘but it would usually be me looking for you. Anyway, I could tell you the way to contact the other members later. Ok, ready to go yet?’ ‘As ready as ever!’ I grinned. Koenma had opened a ‘portal’, as he told me, out of nowhere and we walked through it. We came out of the other end, and I found myself in front of a great door. A blue oni was waiting for us. ‘Koenma-sama!’ the blue oni said, ‘Botan has gone to get the others and should be here soon.’ ‘Thank you, George,’ Koenma replied, ‘Oh, and this is Himura Yuki-san… this is George, my secretary.’ He added. ‘Should we go to my office now?’ George quickly nodded and signaled someone to open the door. We walked down a long corridor and arrived at another door. Koenma opened it and a VERY messy room came into view. ‘This is my office,’ Koenma said as he walked around a pile on paper scattered on the floor, ‘sorry about the mess, loads of documents have been coming in lately.’ He finally reached his desk and sat down. ‘Too much work to be done and too little time to do them.’ He sighed. ‘Please sit down while I tell you about team.’ For the next 5 minutes or so, Koenma briefed me on what weird people they were and not to be frightened by them. Even still, he emphasised that they were his best and most trustworthy team he ever had. A knock was heard on the door and Koenma answered it. I saw Botan walk in with four other people. They all looked rather dumbfounded when they saw me. The orange-hair and the black-hair couldn’t stop staring me, the short guy quickly dismissed his surprise and regained his composure, and lastly the redhead seemed to realized his lack of manners and turned to look where else. After formally introducing me, the idea seemed to have sunk in them, but slight confusion still lingered on the redhead’s face. ‘Yuki-san is from the Meiji period,’ Konema began with more details, ‘that’s why she is dressed in a kimono.’ He paused, ‘more importantly, she’ll be travelling between different time periods, Ningenkai, Reikai, and possibly Makai as well. Um… Yuki-san?’ ‘Hai?’ ‘Just in case you have any problem, you can always go and ask Kurama. Don’t bother about the others, they’ll probably ignore you or tell you a whole load of rubbish.’ He finished and had just managed to dodge 3 death stares from the others. ‘I’m Urameshi Yuusuke,’ the black-hair said. His hair was combed back in a sleek way and he was about the same height as I. ‘And that,’ pointing at the tall orange-hair, ‘is Kuwabara Kazuma.’ ‘Ha ha, that’s me!’ Kuwabara interrupted, ‘The unbeatable Kuwabara! Yuki-san, if you are ever I danger, I’ll be the first to the scene to rescue you! Ha ha! So never worry!’ ‘Idiot.’ Muttered the short guy with spiky hair. ‘What did you just say, SHRIMP????’ Kuwabara was already on his heels after the short guy, ‘I’ll definitely teach you a lesson this time!’ ‘As if you can, idiot.’ Snorted the short guy as he dodged Kuwabara’s blows easily. ‘Sorry about them Himura-san,’ the redhead finally spoke up. He was unbelievably handsome. He was just a bit taller than I and his long red hair and emerald green eyes could easily make people mistaken him as a girl. He smiled and pointed at the short guy, ‘He’s Hiei, and I’m Kurama. Hajimemashite.’ ‘Hai, watashi wa Yuki desu, yuroshiku.’ ‘O, and when we’re in Ningenkai, I’m called Minnanino Shuuichi.’ He added. I blinked in confusion, and Kurama/Minnanino Shuuichi chuckled slightly. ‘Don’t worry, it’s a bit complicated.’ And then he began to explain his ½ youki and ½ human charater. His ½ youki was actually a 400-hundard-year old youko, Youko Kurama, and that was his real form. Minnamino Shuuichi was the human identity when he was reborn as a human. I smiled and nodded in understanding. Kurama smiled back and returned his attention back to the fight between Hiei and Kurabawa. Yuusuke seemed to be amused by them, and just stood at the side with Botan. Kurama shook his head when he saw Yuusuke and Botan collapsed in laughter and walked towards the fighting two in the middle of the room. I looked back at Koenma and he gave me this ‘see-I’ve-told-you-they-are-weird’ look. I couldn’t help but giggled at the thought of working with these people in the future. As Koenma said, they were nice, but just a bit weird. To be continued… My ramblings: wa~~~ 2nd part up! How do you like it so far?
