'Where is it?! Where is it?!' You think as you search desperately for your cane. "Lil! C'mon! We're gonna be late!" Ash called from downstairs. It wasn't in it's usual place by your bed. 'Where is it!?' You jump a foot when Ash popped her head in and said, "Yo! Lily! We gotta get going Huh? What's up?" "Can't find my cane. It's gone!" Her eyes widen. "Wha?! You lost it?! When was the last time you had it?" Both of you stop whatever you were doing and said at the exact same time, "The fight!" Ash groaned as she said, "Someone must of took it after we beaten the crap out of them!" She walk over to you and took your hand. "Ash? What are you doing?" "We're going to school. I'm sure one of the guys yesterday grabbed it and are going to give it back." You gave her a sketical look. "Why would they want my cane? And why do you sound so sure their gonna give it back?" You can hear the smirk as Ash replied, "Cause if they don't it'll be butt kicking time!"

~At School~ Ash's POV
You sighed and stretched as you watch Lil do her thing in class. 'She's gonna yell at me if she finds out I skipped class.' You thought to yourself as you made yourself more comfortable on the tree branch. It was, what, third class period? Or was it fourth? Ah well. It doesn't matter. 'This way if those punks try anything I can take care of it before she finds out. Hm? What's that?" You see something go past you and on to the roof. You start to climb higher, trying to get a better look on what was going on up there. You blink in surprise when you see Yusuke talking to that annoying little brat from the day before. Your blood boiled a bit at the sight of him but you ignored it and tried to listen in on the conversation. You didn't mucj cause one: the tree was too far away and two: the branch that you were sitting on and used to climb to the roof decided to break...with you on it. "Ah shat!" was your only thought before you let loose a scream of surprise, You closed your eyes and braced yourself for impact but it never came. "Are you alright miss?" asked a worried voice. It sounded kinda famailer. You cautionously creak an eye open and saw not only you weren't injured but you were in the arms of the red head that helped you and Lily the other day. His deep green eyes had concern and worry in them as he asked again. "Are you alright?" You fought back a blush as you try to get out of his arms as you replied," I'm fine! Never better!" You straighten out your cloths, unaware that the boy, Kurama was it?, was checking you out before catching himself. "So," you began as you look at him, "what are you doing here?" He replied smoothly, "Some friends of mine go here and I decided to drop by." "Really? Does, by chance, any of them have a cane with them?" Confusion crossed his face. "A...cane? No.." Suddenly realization dawned and answered, "Yes. Yusuke has it. He said he's in one of your friend's classes and could give it to her then." You let out a sigh of relief. "Good. I spent most of the morning worrying how she'll get around but.." you were cut off by him asking, "Huh? Don't you go here? SHouldn't you be in class also?" You shrug and said, "Yeah but I was worried something might happen like yesterday and decided to keep an eye on her. Speaking of which, it's lunch time and Lil's expecting me so catch you later!" You took off like quick silver to the lunch room, leaving Kurama standing there with confusion on his face. As you ran, you suddenly realized you didn't catch his name again or said thanks. 'Ah well. I'll just "ask" Urameshi later.'

Your POV
You aigh in boredom as the teacher droned on and on. 'Is she done yet? I'm tired and I have to get started on tonight's hw.' you think as you 'took' notes. You hear Yusuke yawn loudly, you have a sneaky suspension that he was sleeping. "That said. Have a good day." The teach said as the final bell rand and the students took off. You just start to gather your things when Sheila came out of nowhere and took your cane just as you bring it out. "Well! What's this? Don't you know that bringing weapons to school is against school rules?" She said as her friends laughed at you. You flush slightly as you replied hotly, "Give that back! You know I need it!" Her eyes narrowed slightly. "I don't like your tone. Say your sorry and I MIGHT give it back." You sigh and said, "I'm sorry. Please give me my cane back." Laughter broke out and someone said, "I don't think she means it.." "I agree. Say it like you mean it." You grit your teeth as the urge to knock her teeth in slowly started to swell. "C'mon! Say it!" You let out a low growl and hit her square in the jaw, sending Sheila flying back into one of her goons. She growled angrily and was just about to hit you when a cold voice said, "I wouldn't do that, baka onna. Not unless you want to lose an arm." "Just WHO the HELL do you think you are to.." Sheila stopped in midsentence. She quickly said, "Ok. Let's go." You heard fast foot steps quickly take off, leaving you with a confused expression. You start to feel around for you when you felt something in your hand and realized it was the cane.
