Prologue: Of Humans and Fools
I've never claimed to understand humans. To me, they are no more than food - an idiotic, vile race that exists for no other reason than... there is no reason for them to exist. The human race as a whole has got to be one of God's biggest jokes - they mill about in their metal cities, driving noisy mechanisms, living short, boring, routine lives, and still they try to mask the most carnal of instincts with logic, making what is hiding the mask called humanity that much more apparent.
"And then that rat-faced teacher said..."
Bringing me back to the issue at hand. Unlike most demons, and humans, in fact, I actually listen - not just to conversations, but to everything. So there I was, listening to an idiot's boring account of his problems, saving someone's precious ears from having to hear it. Heh, some days I can be quite the humanitarian.
"A-And then-"
I let out a growling sigh. "Why don't you save us both some trouble and just kill him?"
That idea seemed to horrify him. "I-I can't do that!"
"Why not?"
"B-Because..." Oh dear, I've overloaded his poor little brain... "Humans can't just kill each other! It's against the law!"
Does he not watch the...'news' that Kurama loves so much? Apparently, he is disgruntled by my look. "Shorty, you wouldn't just go up to a demon and kill it for no reason, would you?"
I gave him a look that commented his intelligence, or lack thereof, I should say. "Okay, that's a bad example, but still!"
His stupidity never ceases to amaze me. "If you're going to complain, then at least do something about it!" I was beyond irritated. "If he keeps purposefully giving you low grades, then get smarter where you can get a perfect score!"
He remained silent, as if trying to wrap his overworked brain around my words. "Ask Kurama to help you." I continued, wanting this exchange to be over. "I'm sure that what you are studying will seem like remedial classes to him. I don't see why you humans have to go to school, anyway. It's just a way to waste time on something that you will never use ever again."
The fool was still gaping at me.
A/N: And there you have it! This was just so that you got a feel for the way that Hiei will be portrayed in this story. I feel that not enough spotlight was given to Hiei in the show, so I felt that I could express some of the things I got from his behavior in the show in this story! Please, speak to me! Review! Tell your friends! SOMETHING!!! I love you all!
