Lone footsteps reverberated through a deserted hall. They belonged
to a certain re-haired fox
demon, who had taken unusual slowness in "getting a drink of water". The bell would ring in a few
minutes, allowing chattering students the right to cease the soothing silence. So, he casually roamed the
halls, taking each step slowly and precisely while abiding his limited time.
RRRRRIIIIIIIINNNNGGGGG!!!
Adolescents spilled out of the classrooms, some hurrying to get to their next class, others
conversing with friends. Sighing in disappointment, Kurama turned sharply on his heel, adroitly avoiding
students rushing past him. Except for one:
Kurama: ( gracefully regaining his balance) "Oh! Excuse me!"
Akihiro: (stumbling) "Hey! Watch it! (turning around) "Argh, it's you!"
Akihiro is one of Kurama's numerous competitors, envious of the red haired rouge's many talents.
Feeling confident, Akihiro pursued an attempt many had failed before him: to try and insult Shuichi
Minamino.
Akihiro: (smirking) "So Shuichi, you comin to the dance?"
Kurama: *blink* "Dance? Oh! (laughing politely) No, no, I'm afraid I can not. It seems I am engaged to an important business affair that day."
Akihiro: (raising an eyebrow in doubt) "Is that so? Or is it possible that SHUICHI MINNAMINO COULDN'T FIND A DATE?!"
The endless banter in the hallway ceased as Akihiro raised his voice. All eyes were locked on the two forms of Akihiro and Kurama.
Kurama: (all politeness and amusement has dissolved from his voice) "What are you trying to prove Akihiro?"
Akihiro: (laughing at Kurama's tone) "Well, well, well, then it's true after all! The great Shuichi hasn't got a date for a dance!"
Kurama: (flatly) "I never said that."
Akihiro: (in mock innocence) "But it's true, isn't it?"
Kurama: . . .
Akihiro: (smiling confidently, raising his voice) "Heh heh . . .it just so happens that I'm taking Kadiri-chan, the most beautiful girl that has ever graced this school!"
Kurama: (calmly, as if he's lost interest) ". . . and?"
Akihiro: (disappointed at Kurama's reply, but quickly recovers) "HA! I bet you could never find a date as dazzling as Kadiri . . .ever!"
The gauntlet had been thrown. Students gasped at Akihiro's challenge. Who could ever be as
pretty as Kadiri - with flowing, ebony hair; perfect white teeth; bright green eyes; and a lovely figure.
Surly no one could compete with such a girl!? Much to the awestricken spectators disbelief, Kurama
laughed.
Kurama: "Of course I could . . .easily! However, I will have to decline your provocation. Meaningless dares do not vex me."
Kurama smiled slyly, then brushed past Akihiro. Whispers erupted from the mystified onlookers.
Just who was this girl that Kurama was talking about? Could she really be as gorgeous as Kadiri?
Suddenly the bell rang again, beckoning students back to their never ending studies. One stayed stock still,
clenching his teeth and fists as he tried to regain his dignity.
Akihiro: (with vengeance rising in his voice) "We shall see, Shuichi, . . . we shall see . . ."
~ Hee hee . . .I left you with many, many questions, didn't I? Yeah, that was mainly what this chapter was for. In the next chapter, you shall see:
Why Kurama can't go to the dance
An appearance by Kadiri
More info on the dance
Hiei! And lots of him!
An explanation on my writing style
Akihiro's revenge . . . muwhahahaha!
REVIEW! NOW! . . .please?
