Awakening of the Youko
Invitation
"So how long are you back in the human world for?" We all leaned in, waiting for an answer.
"Dunno," Hiei replied simply. We all resumed breathing.
"Hiei, you could enrol at my college." I joked. He just looked at me.
"Go to hell." We all laughed, apart from Hiei, who continued to scowl at me.
"Hang on, I thought you weren't going to college. I thought you were helping with your dad's business." Kuwabara pointed out. I shook my head; he was always the last to know.
"That was a year ago. I'm doing both now. I wanted more qualifications." I explained.
"Huh! It's a wonder you have any free time at all!"
"Um, by the way . . ." We'd been talking for a while, now.
"Yeah."
"You know you said about Hiei going to your collage." I looked up, confused.
"Yes." What was with the cryptic messages?
"What if someone else came instead?" Okay, now that was a shock.
"I'm sorry?"
"Well . . . Jin was thinking about enrolling somewhere and . . . well . . ." Ah. Now it all made sense.
"Oh, alright then," I sighed.
"Oh, good. 'Cause he's already signed up!" I rolled my eyes.
"Okay, but this is important: tell him that they don't know I'm a demon – and I'm planning to keep it that way – and that he must call me Minamino. Got it? Minamino." I thought they were fairly straightforward conditions.
"Got it. I'll let Jin know."
Sorry. I know it's another short chapter, with not much happening, but that's often the way with the very beginning of stories, no?
Don't worry! After this, it starts to get much more interesting, with longer chapters too.
I'm amazed by how much feedback I've had already – it's only been up a few days! Thanks, guys. Keep the reviews coming.
Hope you're enjoying it so far, 'cause it gets better!
Thanks,
