The story starts out on a normal school day. It was a warm spring day. The streets and sidewlaks were littered with sakura petals. Everybody was getting ready for their day, whther they were heading for work or heading for school. Well... Almost everybody.

"Yuusuke! You're going to be late again. Get up for school!" a concerned Atsuko shouted.

"I know, I know! Cripes..." the lethargic boy said, as he rolled out of bed.

As Mr. Happy left his home, he soon realized what his friend Keiko had told him about the week.

Flashback

"Remember Yuusuke. We have quarter exams, all this upcoming week. So be prepared and study hard for tomorrow. Tomorrow, we have our math exams, if I'm not mistaken..."

End Flashback

"Jeez. Now I'm definitly not going to school today." Yuusuke muttered.

Suddenly Yuusuke felt a familiar presence close by. He switched to defense mode, prepared for the worst. Looking around, he was soon relieved, to know that it was just his buddy, Hiei( Author's Note: Nyaaa.... I'm sure Hiei doesn't think of Yuusuke as his "buddy". J He probably just thinks of him, as some "smart-mouthed punk that he is obligated to go on missions with", or something... Errr...).

"Hey, what up, Hiei?" Yuusuke asked.

"Hn. None of your damn business." Hiei replied coldly.

"Well, why are you here? Are you stalking me or something?!" Yuusuke shot back.

"Fool! I was just nearby and I sensed your reiki. I decided to see what in the world you were doing." Heie responded.

"Oh, I see! As soon as you knew that I was close by, you couldn't help but come over, to see me. Ne, Hiei-chan?! " Yuusuke said loudly, with a smirk on his face.

Hiei was obviously annoyed.

"Baka. Don't mess with me. I will show you no mercy." Hiei replied.

"Is that so?" Yuusuke said, a little quieter this time.

"After a few moments of awkward silence, Hiei broke it. "Shouldn't you be in that building, with the other ningens(Author's Note: Hmmm... I wonder if Hiei knows what school is... I don't think so, since he's a youkai and all. shrugs Another mystery about Hiei! )?"

"Oh hell, I'm not going to school. I've got better things to do, than sit in a smelly classroom, full of teachers that are probably plotting my downpour, as we speak." Yuusuke said.

"Like what?" Hiei asked.

"Well... Ummm..." Yuusuke had to think for a moment. "Guy stuff.... You know?"

"... No." Hiei replied.

"Well, what do you do all day? Lurk in the shadows?"

"Hn. Shows how much you know."

"Well, we could do something together." Yuusuke implied.

"Why?" Hiei asked.

"I don't know. I'll show you what a real man does on his day off." Yuusuke said, pointing to himself.

"Hmph. I'd rather not." Hiei said, defying Yuusuke's request.

"Oh come on. It'll be fun. We can go pick on little kids, or go to a video arcade, or something. " Yuusuke said, refusing to give up. "Please? For Yuusuke-kun? ;;"

"Oh brother... You really are pathetic." Hiei replied, turning away from the desperate Yuusuke.

After keeping his head turned away from Yuusuke, for several seconds, Hiei finally gave in. He knew that if he didn't, Yuusuke would continue to whine, like the spoiled brat he was(Author's Note: Now that seems like something Hiei would label Yuusuke..). He also knew that he didn't stand out too much, to be noticed by the humans; he was doubtfull, as to any commotion that may arrupt, by him tagging along with Yuusuke. So, he decided, that there wouldn't be any harm, in spending a little time with him. Even though he was still reluctant, to go.

"Fine. I'll go with you. But try anything funny and I'll kill you." Hiei said.

Yuusuke's face lit up, like a little child, who just recieved a gift.

"Yay. I win!" Yuusuke cheered.

Hiei sighed. 'What have I gotten myself into?' he thought to himself.
