Mattie sighed. "I know this was a risk…" She murmured staring blankly at the canvas.

"What's a risk?" A voice from the door asked.

Mattie gasped and jumped, spilling black paint all down her uniform. "Oh damn!" She cursed.

"You're scared too easily."

She looked up at her mystery guest and blanched, it was Hiei. "I'm shocked you even came to find me. Why didn't you just send my brother after me? Or maybe Shuichi, he likes me more than you do."

Hiei sneered and stalked up to Mattie, she backed away slowly until she hit a desk and stopped. He kept coming until he stood right in front of her, his hands on either side of her on the desk.

"I don't believe your little façade you're putting on. I came to tell you that." He hissed.

Mattie blinked a few times to clear her head of the 'Oh god he's yummy' that seemed to block her mind. "You don't think I'm naturally a bubbly person?"

"No I don't." He answered. "And that little painting doesn't help."

She glanced over at what she had painted; it was a tribal wolf's head howling wrapped in a tribal dragon design. That would make a good tattoo… She looked back at Hiei and an idea crossed her mind. "I like tribal designs."

"I don't believe you."

"Well I don't care if you believe me or not, are you really going to make me wear black paint all day at school?"

Hiei stared at her for a moment, rolling over an idea in his mind. "What are you after? Why would you show up now to say you were Yusuke's sister? What's kept you away for so long?"

"So many questions and it's not even our first date." Mattie smirked, tilting her head to one side so her hair fell over her eye.

"Don't avoid the question."

She leaned forward, closing the gap between them until she was inches from his face. "I'm not." She quickly closed the gap and kissed him.

Hiei leapt back as if he had been bitten. They stared at each other for a moment and he left.

"What was that all about?" Sophie asked.

"Don't ask…" Mattie answered. She looked down at herself. "Damn it! He's ruined my uniform!"

"Can't you wash it?"

"It's dried."

"You better hope they have long sleeve tops."

"Or they have wraps…"

Mattie ran down the hall and skidding to a halt in front of a class room door. I'm totally late… She thought as she sucked in a deep breath to cool her breathing, plastered a bright smile on her face and opened the classroom door.

"Gomen nasai sensei!" Mattie called as she bowed. "I'm new, I got lost."

"It's alright. I was informed earlier." The teacher answered. "Please introduce yourself to the class."

Mattie smiled again. "Of course sensei." She turned her attention to the class. "Hi I'm Mattie Herrmann. No that's not short for anything my name is literally Mattie. It means powerful battler, and my last name means warrior. I moved over here from the states after my mother died but I was born in Germany,. I guess that's about it." She left out the part about being Yusuke's sister.

"Thank you Ms. Herrmann please take a seat."

Mattie turned and realized that the only seat was next to Hiei. Damn… She thought as she slowly made her way to the seat beside him. "I guess you're stuck with me." She murmured with a smile; he stiffened.

Boy oh boy… This is going to be a long, long day…

"Hey Mattie." Shuichi said as he walked up to the girl. "How was class?"

"Oh it was fine…" She answered as she sat down on the grass. "Hiei seemed to be perturbed by my having to sit next to him."

"Ah well… He does do that sometimes."

Mattie's ear piece crackled signaling she needed to be away from the group. "I'll be right back…" Mattie murmured. "Bathroom." She took off.

"What's up?" She asked as she got away from Shuichi.

"I've got news."

"That's never good…"

"A target's been hit. A car's on the way to pick you up, you've already been called out of school. You're bag's in the car."

Mattie sighed as she quietly snuck away from the school. "My first day of school and I'm already going to miss half of it… Couldn't he wait or something??"

"Suck it up and get going."

"Yeah yeah." Mattie groaned as she slid into the back seat of the car.

"Is this the place?"

"From what I'm getting by my calculations it is. Be careful."

"I know…" Mattie tucked her hair up into a black wig and leapt down into the courtyard. This is going to be fun… She thought.
