When school starts again, the news has reached everyone's home. I have been dumped by one of the most beautiful people. I sit in class with every pair of eyes heating the back of my neck. The girls are more flirty now that I am single again. My grades are still superior and I intended to keep it that way. The class flies by like the clouds. The bell rings, indicating lunch for third year students.

The news is the talk of the school. Wherever I walk to, I hear my name and Koenma's. It just reminds me of the pain. But I try to keep it to myself so I don't look weak. I remember what Hiei told me a couple nights ago. For some reason, it gives me hope. I want to see him again, but I don't know where he lives or any other information other than his name.

The school's roof is always empty. I sit against the railing resting my arm on my knee. I don't feel like eating anything, talking to anyone, or even finish the rest of the day. This town, it shows you its true colors after some tragedy in your life. I close my eyes and relax my mind. I try to exclude the chatter from below me. Why must things be this complicated?

I feel something fall down to my lap. I look up and meet those red eyes. "Hiei?" I say in shock.

"Eat. You'll starve." He orders. On my lap, lays half a sandwich wrapped in plastic.

"No thank you Hiei. I don't feel like eating." I hold out the sandwich for him to take back.

His expression hardens. "You will eat that or I will force you to swallow it whole!" He threatens me with a glare. "Now eat." He sits besides me and stays silent.

I take a bite of the food and smile. It's well prepared and fresh. "Thanks. I didn't know you go here."

His eyes look to a different direction. "Yeah I just moved here a few days ago. This town's full of bull crap. The people think they know you when they couldn't care less about your well being. Which makes me wonder how you could've survived here for so long."

"I'm used to it. I've lived here my whole life so I know what this town is capable of." I finish the food and throw away the plastic. "So what are you doing here? Have you skipped any classes lately?"

"Funny you should ask. I skipped the last four classes and didn't want anyone bothering me so here I am." He answers back, still not looking at me.

"Oh, I see." I sit next to him and let the silence fall among us. "Hiei-"

"So why are you here? I expected you to be eating lunch with your buddies." Now he looks at me. Those red gentle eyes. They look like they've seen a lot throughout the years he's been alive.

My eyes dart away in embarrassment. "Well, I kind of wanted to get away from my 'buddies'. They were starting to get on my nerves. Not that I blame them or anything."

Hiei snickers at my comment. "You're weak and pathetic like the rest of them, you know? You're so afraid you'll hurt them. But they deserve it since they hurt you. You're too soft uhh... umm...?"

"Kurama. I forgot to tell you my name the other day. I'm sorry." I give him my best smile He seems so sweet, though I know he tries not to. "You're funny you know that Hiei?"

Instead of looking mad or yelling at me, he just stares at me with solid stern eyes. "Shut up you Little Red Riding Nerd." He insults me.

I laugh out loud. "You're very accurate on that insult you know?"

Hiei bolts up and growls at me. "You piece of crap. I can easily slit your throat so if I were you I'd keep my mouth shut!" I can make out a small blush on his cheeks.

"Forgive me, it's not everyday someone makes me laugh." I stand up and brush dirt of my pants. "Shall I see you around?"

He shrugs and walks away. "Whatever. I really don't care."
