The incident in the class spread like wildfire around the school. Kurama groaned as another one of his fan girls ran up too him and began bombarding him with questions, he had to say he was fine about thirteen times until she finally left him alone. And his mother was even worse, she had been making sure that he ate before he left, that morning she made him pancakes, and she said he couldn't leave until he ate them all, which he did reluctantly.
As the final bell rang, Kurama was out of the room before anyone else was up. He walked as quickly as he could, praying no one else would ask him anything. He was ten steps away from his house, when a shudder ran down his spine. It was the same ki he felt before, but it was stronger this time, and it was close by. He quickly opened his door and set his bag down by the front steps before taking off towards the forest.
The ki was getting stronger, Kurama jumped up onto a branch and his eyes scanned the forest.
'It's heading north' he thought before jumping down and running once again. He stopped abruptly as the same feeling of nausea hit again. 'No…I will not loose it again…' He shook his head and ran as fast as he could towards the ki.
Kurama yelped as a hand grabbed his hair and yanked him into a bush, he turned too see the offender and he quickly calmed.
"Hiei, don't do that!"
"Quiet Fox, it's coming this way." Hiei whispered sharply. Kurama lowered his spirit energy so no one could sense him and shut his mouth as he looked through the bush; he saw a figure emerge from the trees. Hiei's brow knit together with confusion, Kuramas eyes widened with shock.
A girl walked out, she looked Kuramas age, her hair was jet black, with silver streaks, it went down a half an inch past her shoulders, her bangs covering one of her eyes. She had only a fragment of her hair in two long pigtails. Her eyes were crystal blue, with a gold ring around the pupil, and she wore a black halter top, a silver spade symbol was attached to a black choker, the skirt she wore was only two inches above her knees, but her legs were covered by black leggings with lace at the bottom. Black knee high boots had sharp heals, sharper than most heals were supposed too have.
But the most surprising features on the girl were her pointy ears, on top of her head, two black fox ears poked out. She had a black fox tail with silver strips of fur standing out; her skin deathly pale and she had whiskers protruding from her cheeks. She yawned, exposing her sharp fangs and scratched her fox ears, she stretched and Kurama saw her sharp nails, they were much like Yoko's.
"Is that…Yasashii Seirei?" Kurama asked in a shocked tone.
"Yeah, no doubt, why is she in Ningenkai?"
"I…don't know…"
Yasashii's ears perked up and she looked at the bush and growled. "Who's there?" she said between grit teeth.
Kurama stood and walked out of the bushes while Hiei jumped onto the branch of a nearby tree. Yasashii's eyes narrowed as she looked between the demon and the human, her eyes glinted with curiosity and she took a step forward.
Before she could say anything, an ogre ran out of the darkness, it charged at Yasashii and raised its fist. She smirked and held up her hand, a burst of spirit energy shoot out of her hand and burnt the ogre too a crisp, its ashes blowing away in the wind. Her attention turned back too Kurama and Hiei, both only looked slightly surprised, but Hiei glared at her and looked away.
"I'm Shuichi Minamono, and this rude demon is Hiei Jaganashi." Kurama said, politely as usual.
"Hn" was Hiei's only response.
"I'm Yasashii Seirei" she replied, she growled as she looked at Kurama, "Are you gonna rat me out too my father human?"
Kurama smiled and shook his head, "You must have a good reason for running from your home," his expression then turned cold "but if things become to hectic here, I may have too."
She scoffed as her body became surrounded by spirit energy, the silver in her hair faded only too be replaced with blue, her fox ears, tail, and whiskers disappeared and her teeth softened around the edges and her pointy ears turned into human ears. Her eyes darkened a bit; her normal demon eyes were too light to look human. Her shirt turned to a black spaghetti strap shirt with red lace lining the hem, her skirt disappeared while her leggings grew into black skin tight jeans, and her boots became black and white knee high converse.
She looked at them and smiled, "Do I look human?" she asked happily.
Kurama nodded and Hiei 'Hn'd', which Yasashii took as a yes. She jumped up and punched the air. "Yeah, now they'll never find me!"
"Where will you be staying?" Kurama asked softly, Yasashii's smile dropped and she scratched where her fox ears would have been.
"Um…I don't know…"
"Why don't you let her stay at your house Fo-…Shuichi…?" Hiei said blankly.
"Yeah Shuichi, can I, please" Yasashii stared at him with big pleading eyes
Kurama looked in between them both and sighed, he pulled out his cell phone and called his mother, he made up a story that Yasashii had run away from home because her mother and father had been hurting her and Shiori quickly agreed. Yasashii tackled him and thanked him over and over again.
When the reached his home, Shiori gave Yasashii and Hiei a big motherly hug and offered them a cup of tea, which they eagerly accepted, Hiei accepted for fear of having Kurama on his ass.
"Oh honey, you can sleep in the guest room, Shuichi will show you around the house, please make yourself comfortable."
Yasashii bowed and thanked her before walking up the stairs and into the guest room. Kurama walked up there to check up on her and found she was already asleep, he smiled softly and turned down the lights, he walked out of the room too leave her in peace.
He failed to notice the pair of green eyes watching him hungrily; a toothy sadistic grin covered the demons face as he jumped away from Kuramas window.
"So…" It said in a menacing tone, "I've found the beautiful Yoko Kurama, the master shall be pleased…"
