OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Andrea
walked down the dark streets of town, the rain dampening her reddish-brown hair
to the roots and plastering it to her head. Her blue eyes, however, refused to
blink as she walked with a .45 in her hand. Her once-perfect clothes were now
almost rags, luckily able to not show anything that needed to be seen. Her
breathing was shaky; not just from the rain, but also from what she had just
done moments before. The cool rain seemed to make her bruises, which started
from her face to her wrists, to appear darker. Her lower lip was bleeding and
her left cheek had been cut. She didn't care where she was walking to; in fact,
she didn't know.

Andrea's
wobbly legs turned her body down another street... this time one that was
familiar. However, in her mind, nothing was familiar anymore. Her hand with the
gun was starting to shake as her legs almost gave way. She leaned against a
tree for a minute before walking again. This time, her legs turned her down a
walkway and stopped at the door.

Meanwhile,
Kurama was sitting in the living room, watching a movie on the TV with the rain
falling outside. The movie was starting
to get interesting as the redhead�s keen sense of hearing made him stand
up. He shook his head as he headed to
the door, figuring he�d let some cool air in the house. When he opened the door, much to his
surprise, Andrea fell in the doorway and would�ve hit the floor if not for the
fox�s fast reflexes in catching her.

�Andrea?�
he asked her as the rain-soaked girl blinked once before closing her eyes and
letting her arms fall limp beside her.
Picking Andrea up in his arms, he carried her inside while closing the
door with his foot and up the stairs to his room, where he laid her on the bed. He went into the bathroom and, after
gathering two towels, went back in his room to dry her off as best he could
with her clothes, or what was left of them, still on. He took the second towel to her hair and dried it as dry as he
could get.

Andrea
started moving her head but didn�t open her eyes as she started mumbling random
things.

Kurama
blinked, hearing but not comprehending.
�I�m sorry,� he said, trying to figure out what Andrea was saying. �I cannot understand you.�

�Kurama�d
look good in that dress, Mommy,� Andrea mumbled while still mumbling other random
things as well.

Kurama
raised an eyebrow in confusion as he picked up the phone and called
Yusuke. The phone rang twice before he
heard Yusuke�s ��Ello?� �Yusuke,
something�s wrong with Andrea,� he said into the phone.

�Other
than having goo-goo eyes every time she�s around you?�

Kurama�s
voice turned from urgent to serious� very serious. �YUSUKE, THIS IS SERIOUS!!!!� he almost shouted into the phone.

Yusuke
winced, pulling the phone from his ear.
�Ow!! Hey, sorry!�

Kurama
took a deep breath, composing himself.
�Andrea�s been injured, badly,� he said. �Get Kuwabara and Yukina over to my place as fast as you can.�

�Okay,�
Yusuke said and hung up.

After
a few minutes, Kurama had gone to the front door and opened it, revealing
Yusuke with Kuwabara and Yukina.

Kuwabara
looked at Kurama. �So, what�s happened
to her?� he asked, his voice concerned for the Tantei.

Kurama
shrugged his shoulders. �I don�t know,�
he answered. �I only opened the door to
let some air in, and Andrea collapsed in the doorway.� He ushered his friends inside.

�Say
anything? Like, what happened?�

Kurama
shook his head. �Not of what happened,�
was the solemn answer. �Most of it I
can�t make out.�

Yusuke
looked at the fox. �What about the
other �most�?�

Kurama
inwardly shuddered at the thought of telling them that Andrea said that he�d
look good in a dress. �You don�t want
to know,� he answered.

Kuwabara
looked at Yusuke, gave him a blank stare, and looked back at Kurama. �Other than that, is she okay?�

�She
is asleep at the moment, yes,� Kurama replied, nodding.

Yukina
fixed a worried ruby gaze against Kurama�s emerald orbs. �May I see her?� she asked.

Kurama�s
crimson bangs swished in front of his eyes as he led his friends up the
stairs. �Of course.� His mind drifted off back to when just a few
minutes ago, Andrea had collapsed into his arms. Her clothes had turned almost into rags. Something had to have happened to her, but
what? He hadn�t sensed any demonic
energy, so what was the cause?

When
he and his friends had reached Kurama�s room, they saw a tattered-clothed
Andrea lying on Kurama�s bed, her clothes almost sticking to her body, her wet
hair looking darker than usual. As they
walked in, however, Andrea was now mumbling something about Koenma in a tutu,
which left Yukina very confused.

Kuwabara
raised an eyebrow at what he had heard.
�Uh, what�s she talking about?� he asked.

Kurama
had no idea. �You don�t want to
know.� He moved out of the way to let
Yukina by.

The
ice maiden checked Andrea�s injuries.
�From the state of her wounds, I�d say she was abused,� she made her
discovery.

Kuwabara
blinked. �What? But she was just fine a few hours ago,� he
protested.

�Injuries
such as these can happen within a few minutes, if the person was angered
enough.� After she had said those
words, Andrea had suddenly stopped mumbling altogether, which caused Kurama to
look at the bruised girl lying on his bed.
Yukina looked at Kurama, worried that something had happened to
her. �Should I try healing her?� she
asked him.

Kurama
nodded. �All right.�

But
just as soon as Yukina placed her hands on Andrea gently, Andrea suddenly
screamed at the top of her lungs, which made Kurama cover his ears.

�Yukina,
back off,� Yusuke said and the ice maiden let go of Andrea, who now stopped
screaming. �Whoa, that girl�s got some
lungs.�

Kurama
agreed, uncovering his ears from the brutal screaming. �Yes, she does,� he answered, now wishing
for an aspirin.

Kuwabara
nodded; Andrea�s scream was almost deafening.
�No kidding, but why�d she scream?� he asked. �She knows it�s only us.�

Yukina�s
eyes revealed a worried look. �I read
somewhere that abuse victims can become violent if they�re touched.� Her voice held a distinct concern for the
girl on the bed.

Kuwabara
looked at Andrea on the bed, and as Kurama asked him what was the matter, he
nodded his head at Andrea, who had now drawn herself in a fetal position.

Yukina
looked at the team, her ruby eyes wishing that there were something more she
could do. �She needs more than my
help,� she announced to them. �She
needs a doctor.�

Yusuke
blinked his chocolate colored eyes.
�Wait, doesn�t Andrea hate doctors?� he asked the group.

Kuwabara
scratched his head. �I thought that was
hospitals.�

�It�s
both, I believe,� Kurama answered them.
�But I�m afraid Yukina�s right; she needs a doctor.�

At
that moment, Andrea looked at them and shook her head rapidly.

�I�m
taking that as a �no�,� Yusuke said as Andrea blinked at them.

�Well,
I can�t keep her here, I�m afraid,� Kurama said to them. �Mother would surely notice her.�

�But
if you try to pick her up, she�ll make you lose your hearing,� Kuwabara gave
his input.

�Coax
her out?� Yusuke suggested.

�In
the rain?� Kuwabara said to him.

�You
have a better idea?� The bickering
between Kuwabara and Yusuke was making Andrea tighten herself in her fetal
position.

Kuwabara
got into Yusuke�s face. �Do YOU?� he
countered at the same time as Kurama stepped in before any blows were dealt.

�Please,�
the redhead said to the bickering duo in a calm voice. �Right now, we have to figure out how to
help Andrea, not bicker over ideas.�

As
Andrea backed herself into the wall, Yukina looked into Andrea�s wide blue
eyes. She looked like a fox caught in a
bear trap. The ice maiden sat down on
the bed. �Andrea?� she said, seeing
said girl rearing back against the wall.
�It�s me, Yukina. I only wish to
help you.�

Andrea
blinked as her hand started to curve defensively. She didn�t want anyone to get closer to her and was about to lash
out at the next person around.

�You
know me, remember?� She was trying to
calm Andrea down, even though she didn�t look very calm. �I won�t hurt you, I promise.�

Andrea�s
hand relaxed but as soon as she curved it, Yukina had held out her hand to
her. Andrea reached out slowly as
Yukina gently held her shaking hand, leaving enough pressure as not to shock
her any more than she was.

Yukina smiled sweetly at
the shaking girl. �It'll be okay,� she
said, but as Andrea looked at the bruises on her arms, she felt Andrea�s hand
recoil back. �Someone, get a coat.�

Kuwabara shrugged off his
own coat and shook any excess water from it before handing it to Yukina, who
had placed it on Andrea�s shoulders to cover the bruises.

The coat, at first, felt cold,
which made Andrea shiver slightly and close her eyes. After a second, she stopped shivering, as she was getting a
little more comfortable.

�Come on, Andrea. We'll
take you someplace safe. It'll be fine,� Yukina said to the girl on the bed.

As Andrea opened one eye
and nodded her head, Yukina held out her hand again. The abused girl�s fingers moved shakily, almost as if she were
scared, as Yukina gently took her hand.

Seeing that Andrea knew
that she was around her friends, Kuwabara took a deep breath. At least she wasn�t attacking anyone at the
moment. �Well, that part was easy.
Question is, who's picking her up?�

Yukina looked at the team,
worried about Andrea�s emotional state at the moment. �No one is,� she answered.

�Why not?� Yusuke asked
the ice maiden.

Yukina set her crimson
gaze on Yusuke. �I see this kind of
thing all the time,� she explained.
�With coaxing they can be lead to where they can be treated.� She looked back at Andrea, who had started
to look around, blinking at everyone.
�You're among friends, Andrea. You know us; we will not hurt you.� Yukina had looked down in time to see Andrea
tap her fingers on the mattress, which made her blink. �What is it do you want, Andrea?� she asked
her. �I'll try to help.�

As Andrea�s fingers
continued to tap on the mattress, Yusuke looked at everyone in the room. �Anyone know Morse Code?� he asked as the
girl�s fingers moved.

Kurama had looked at the
rapidly moving fingers. �45,� he
answered.

Kuwabara looked
confused. What did that mean? �45?�

The kitsune shrugged his
shoulders. �It's what she said,� he
answered.

Yusuke looked at Kurama,
mostly in shock. �You know code?�

�Yes, Yusuke. Morse code,
calligraphy, sign language, I know almost all.� Kurama watched as Andrea continued to tap on the mattress. �Alley� attack� She was attacked in an
alley.� Andrea�s fingers continued to
tap, and Kurama continued to read her finger taps. �No� choice� She had no choice.�
He blinked. �No choice for
what?�

Kuwabara looked at the
girl�s relaxed hand and closed-eyed figure and knew that she had fallen asleep.

Yusuke shook his
head. �Something bad, that's for sure.�

Kuwabara scratched his
head. �But what does 45, no choice, and
alley attack all mean?� he asked.

Kurama shrugged. Without Andrea awake to give any more clues,
they had very little to go on. They
were now on their own. �I have no
idea,� he answered.

Kuwabara looked out
Kurama�s bedroom window and saw the rain still falling to the ground. �Little too messy out there,� he said and
had turned away before he heard sirens speeding past the house. He looked out the window. �Huh? What in the...�

Yusuke saw the flashes of
light disappear from the window.
�Sirens.�

�Any idea where they went
to?�

�Nope. Wanna find out?�

Kuwabara nodded, looking
at the sleeping Tantei. �Who's keeping
an eye on her?� he asked.

Kurama nodded his
head. �I will,� he answered.

�And I'll stay with her as
well,� Yukina added.

After Yusuke and Kuwabara
nodded, they raced out of the house and down the street.

�Wonder what made Andrea
so scared,� Kuwabara wondered. �Maybe
it was your singing, Urameshi.�

Yusuke socked him in the
gut. �Shut up!�

Both boys saw the lights
stop at an alley and started running towards the alley, seeing yellow tape near
the entrance.

Kuwabara peered around the
side of the alley and saw a body bag.
�Oh, man,� he said as Yusuke peered around him and saw cameras flashing.

A woman of about 40 held a
microphone to her mouth and pointed to her cameraman, who looked about
college-aged. �This is Akiko Yamochi at
the scene,� she started. �I am at an
alley on Main Street where 45-year-old Ryou Kasahara was found murdered just a
few minutes ago. No motive has been suspected yet and the chief assured me that
he�d keep the media posted with any available evidence.�

Kuwabara looked at Yusuke
and mouthed, �Murder?�

Yusuke gave Kuwabara a
shocked look and mouthed, �45?�

A cop, a man around the
age of 38, put a shiny object in a small plastic bag. �Looks like a shotgun casing here,� he said to his partners, who
had combed the alley.

Yusuke turned and walked
away from the alley. �What's going on?�

Kuwabara shrugged. �I don't know,� he answered.

�This sounds too much like
what Andrea said.�

�Maybe someone saved her
and killed him,� Kuwabara said to him.

Yusuke nodded. �Maybe, but Andrea knows the story. We'll
follow it up on TV.�

�But she's not talking,�
Kuwabara protested.

�We'll have to snap her
out of it,� Yusuke said and raced back to the house, with Kuwabara following
and not liking the sound of what he said.

When Yusuke and Kuwabara
had returned back to Kurama�s room, Yukina looked at them as they walked
in. �Have you found out what it was?�
she asked them.

Kuwabara nodded his
head. �Some guy was killed in an alley,�
he answered.

Kurama�s interest was
piqued. �Who?� he asked them. This could help with whatever was making
Andrea curl up like a frightened kitten.

Kuwabara looked at
them. �Some 45 year old guy, but they
found a shell casing,� he answered.

�I think his name was Ryou
Kasahara,� Yusuke added.

The name caused Andrea�s
eyes to open and for her to look around.
She was now wide-awake, but this wasn�t the type of waking up she had in
mind.

�Do you know him, Andrea?�
Yukina asked her.

Andrea could feel
everyone�s eyes on her, so she looked at the mattress.

�I think she does,� Yusuke
said, walking to the bed. �And she
needs to snap out of it.�

Yukina�s ruby eyes
widened, worried if he was going to do something to upset Andrea any more than
she was. �Yusuke-san, what are you
doing?� she asked him.

Yusuke had reached the bed
by the time the question was asked.
�Like I said, snapping her outta it!� he answered, grabbing Andrea�s
arm.

Kurama looked at Yusuke
with the most composure he had. �Yusuke,
don't harm her,� he said calmly.

�No worries, Kurama. I
won't harm your girlfriend.�

Kurama sweatdropped. �We're not going out, Yusuke!�

Letting out another
scream, Andrea popped Yusuke in the jaw with her fist, a little harder than she
thought. Yusuke let go of her as soon
as the fist connected with his jaw and landed on the floor. �Okay, that hurt.�

Kurama shook his head at
Yusuke. �You had it coming,� he
answered.

While Kuwabara tried not
to laugh at Yusuke getting socked by an attacking Andrea, who had now reared
back against the wall and hands curved defensively, Yusuke had now grabbed her
wrists to keep from getting hurt further.
�Come on, Andrea. Snap outta it already!� he shouted as Andrea now started
to thrash at him defensively. �Andrea,
you fought demons and you're gonna let a human scared your pants off? That's
hardly the attitude of a Tantei.�

Standing by, Kuwabara
shook his head. �Oh, boy�� I feel a
smack in the face for that one...
Almost as if she read his mind, Andrea kneed Yusuke between the legs and
popped him in the mouth again. When he
hit the ground, she glared harshly at him.
Mm-hmm...

Yusuke got up and faced
the girl�s glare. It had to stop, and
it had to be by him. �Don't think of me
as a girl or anything...� With that, he
slapped Andrea so hard that she hit the bed, bounced a couple of times, her
hair covering her starting-to-turn-red face.

Kurama looked at Andrea in
shock, and then at Yusuke, upset at what he had done. �Yusuke!�

Yukina gasped into her
hands at the sight she saw in front of her, her crimson eyes wide in horror.

An angered Kuwabara
clocked Yusuke upside his head. �Guys
shouldn't hit girls, Urameshi!� he said to him, clocking him again for Andrea.

Yusuke held his face for a
second. �She needs to snap out of it,�
he said to the others. �She's been
hurt, yes, but haven't we all. She's watched us come out of our battles
half-dead and she's been okay. She needs to help us.�

Kuwabara crossed his arms,
still angry at what Yusuke had done to Andrea.
�And how do you think knocking her into next year's gonna help?�

�It's either that, or we
could just continue watching her till next year!�

As Andrea began to tap
rapidly on the mattress, Kurama looked at her.
Oh, no, he thought. Now
she�s annoyed, and this is not going to bode well. He watched as Andrea sat up on the bed and
gripping the mattress in her other hand.
�You wouldn't understand all the hell I've been through. You really
think I'm some tough, gung-ho Tantei? Well, you're wrong. There's a side of me
that not even you can understand.�

Without waiting for an
explanation, Andrea bolted out of the room and out the front door with a slam
that could be heard from upstairs.

Kurama
watched Andrea�s figure speed out the door and heard the front door slam. He was right; it wasn�t looking well. He looked at Yusuke. �Now, you�ve done it,� he said disdainfully.

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

((I guess Yusuke did
something stupid! What happened to
Andrea, and why can�t she tell the team?
What do the clues mean? Check
out the next chapter.))
