Chapter Zero

ForbiddenChildLover64

Hey, people!!! It's my new story! I am so sorry if you tried to read this story before a chapter was posted—long story, the reason behind that!

This is my first attempt at writing from Kurama's point of view. I've written from Hiei's before but, as Hiei is my favorite character, it was a lot easier than this story. Any help would be nice! As is usual, I'm rambling.

Also, this story is kind of a more comical branch off of my story Goodbye, Shuichi Minamino. It takes place after chapter two of that story. So you might want to read those two chapters first. Obviously, the viewpoint switches from that story to this one. Sorry about that.

BTW, I don't, unfortunately, own any of the characters—unfortunately being Hiei. If I create any characters, I will let you know that they belong to me. Otherwise, they are Yoshihiro Togashi's. And, again, I'm rambling so maybe I should just shut up.

Well, anyway, here is the story!

It was April 1. April Fool's Day. My favorite holiday. Not Hiei's. He was dreading it.

Last year, Yusuke, Kuwabara, and I had snuck into his apartment at two in the morning. Yusuke and Kuwabara had somehow gotten him and his bed out the door without waking him—something I am sure will never be explained. I then used vines to attach his bed to the walls. The floor. The ceiling. Any flat surface in the hallway. When Hiei woke up, he was encaged—quite literally, as he couldn't get out—in a mass of plant life. I had had to let him out. I didn't, however, have my vines relinquish the bed. It is still sitting in the hall.

My plan this year was much simpler. I would sneak into his apartment—again, I'm quite good at it—and shape shift into a llama. Why a llama? Because it was so random. And Hiei hated random.

So I waited until he left, unlocked his door, walked in, and locked the door back up. And I shape shifted.

Hiei came home and found me—as a llama, mind you—sitting on his couch.

He turned around, walked back out, and I followed. Followed him all the way to Yusuke's and Kuwabara's school, and into their classroom. "Yusuke! Kuwabara!" Hiei said, interrupting the teacher, "Why is there a llama stalking me? I found it in my apartment, and it won't leave me alone!"

"Wasn't me." Yusuke said, "Kuwabara?"

"Nope, maybe it was Kurama." And they busted out laughing. I was the most ridiculous creature they had ever seen. I had bright red fur and green eyes. Thanks to all the time I had spent as Shuichi, I had developed the habit of using that as my disguise. And Yusuke and Kuwabara realized that the llama was me.

"Yep. It was definitely Kurama." Yusuke managed to gasp.

"When I find him, I'm gonna kill him." Hiei muttered.

And Yusuke and Kuwabara lost all the self control they had managed to regain, and cracked up again, and I think I caught the words, "Good luck with that!" before the teacher stopped staring at me.

He then said, "Yusuke, Kuwabara, don't meet your friends in class. Especially when they have swords and pet llamas with them."

Hiei turned his glare on the teacher as if to say, 'I know that was directed at me, not them. And, just so you know and won't make that mistake again, I do what I want and go where I want when I want to, and I don't give a damn about what anyone else thinks. Got it?'

And, despite the fact Hiei had said nothing, the teacher got it. He changed his mind with a, "Never mind, stay as long as you like!" I had a very hard time not laughing.

For the rest of the afternoon I followed Hiei in his search—the one where he was looking for me. Not being able to find me further fueled his rage. Until, eventually, he sat down to actually think about where I could be—he still hadn't really looked at the llama and how similar it was to the way I used to look.

As we were sitting there, something bit me. "Ouch!" I said in surprise as something furry and two inches high scurried off. Hiei looked at me. And looked at me. And looked at me. And suddenly made the connection that had previously avoided him. He understood, finally, why he hadn't been able to find me.

"Kurama!" Hiei yelled. I laughed and shape shifted back into my normal form, but Hiei continued staring. Eventually asking, "Are you going to change back so I can kill you in a fair fight, or not?" I looked down. I was still a llama. I must not have focused my concentration hard enough. "Well?" I heard Hiei ask. I looked up, still surprised.

"I can't change back."

Well, how'd you like the chapter? Anybody have any idea as to why he couldn't change back? I'm probably going to get stuck quite often—it took my about a week to write this chapter, and it's very short—but I like the idea. In light of this, any suggestions, requests, random ideas, anything else—random or otherwise—that you would like to see would be welcome. And, if you haven't figured this out, I absolutely love randomness!

Please Review!!!!!
