Chapter 6: Tutoring

"Sorichuudo, can you translate this for me," asked the teacher. Hiei looked at the sentence written on the board. He was supposed to translate it in English but he wasn't any good with languages. He shook his head.

"Have you been studying," asked the teacher again and Hiei just stared at him. "Obviously you need some tutoring so I'll assign Minamino to tutor you."

"Yes, sir," said Kurama a little dazed. Hiei looked at his friend and saw his condition had worsened. Now he was sleeping in the lunch room and study sessions. Hiei had asked again if something was wrong and again Kurama snapped at him. Hiei didn't bother him after that but he had a feeling about it. He felt Kurama was in trouble and he didn't know what it was.

"So do we go to your house or mine," asked Kurama as they walked out of school.

"Mine, I need to watch Yukina."

"Okay, sure she wouldn't mind?" said Kurama as they met up with said girl and their friends.

"If I don't mind what?" asked Yukina.

"If Kurama comes over to tutor me," said Hiei. "If it's okay with you."

"Oniisan, you don't have to ask me! I don't mind."

The whole gang walked to the hospital and into the room Hina lay resting. They talked to her unconscious form about their day and hoped she heard. Walking back to Hiei's apartment Kurama called his mother and told her about Hiei's tutoring. She was happy about it and hoped it would go well. Kurama didn't talk long, not wanting to run Hiei's phone bill.

"Thank you, Mother. Bye."

"Bye" And Kurama hung up. He walked back to Hiei and the others who had their books open.

"Kurama, how do you do this," asked Kuwabara and Kurama looked at the math problem.

"Here, this is how." And he showed Kuwabara how to solve the problem. Kuwabara nodded as he understood and went back to the worksheet. Kurama helped Yusuke too and went around to Hiei, his main pupil.

"How are you doing?"

"I can't make heads or tails of this. Why do we have to do this? It's not our language."

"It's required and it's fun to me."

"Not for me."

"Come on." And Kurama sat beside Hiei to help him with his homework. Hiei glanced once at the boy, his red hair fell sensually around his face as he concentrated and his eyes held a far away, thoughtful look. Kurama looked beautiful. Wait where did that come from? Sure, he'd known Kurama since preschool but he never thought Kurama was beautiful. Why did he know?

Kurama looked up and saw that his friend was looking at him.

"What?" he asked and Hiei shook his head.

"Nothing."

"I think Hiei's got the hots for Kurama," said Yusuke and he and Kuwabara laughed. Hiei vaulted over the table and tackled the boy to the floor, catching him in a headlock as Yusuke struggled to get free.

"Owie!"

"Bastard! Take that back!"

"What, that you like Kurama? I saw on your face. It's true."

"Oaf, I'm going to hurt you!"

"With what? Your nails!"

"Boys," said Yukina, "don't fight in the kitchen. Do it in the living room, there's more room."

"Yes, Yukina," said both boys and continued the fight in the living room as Kurama and Kuwabara supervised. Hiei won.
