"What is a dissection?" Hiei asked telepathically.
"It's where you cut up an animal and learn about it by studying the insides." Replied Kurama.
"What a waste of food."
"Class! Today's dissection is the frog! Won't it be so fun?" Mrs. Takato looked eccentric, and her eyes were almost bulging. Some people made a sound of disgust, while others were talking rapidly.
"Now take your instructions so we may begin!" Everyone picked up their little booklet and looked at the diagrams.
"Now, who would like to hand out the frogs?" asked Mrs. Takato.
"I will!" screamed Hoshi.
"Thank you dear. You'll find them in the bin over there. Our school was generous enough to let us have these massive bullfrogs!" Mrs. Takato clapped her hands together and began handing out dissection kits while Hoshi handed out frogs.
"Here you go man. A nice big fat one!" Hoshi plunked a frog on Kurama's table, and Kurama gave a sort of grimace.
"Thanks so much Hoshi." Kurama put on some gloves and turned the frog belly up. Hiei opened his dissection kit and looked at the instruments weirdly. They were all so tiny and strange. A frog was placed on his table and he set it down, turning it over like the paper said.
"OK everyone! Now that we have our frogs, follow the directions and begin dissecting! Make sure you answer every question with complete sentences and have fun! You may get in groups if you wish, to help each other out!" It was as if someone had turned on the volume of a silent TV set because everyone began running around and talking, with the girls screeching at the slimy reptiles and the boys looking almost as eccentric as Mrs. Takato did.
"Hey Kurama, want to be in my group?" asked Koshi.
"Well..." said Kurama.
"Great! Okay, lets start here first." Koshi seemed to take that as a yes, and plummeted on. Kurama sneaked a glance at Hiei, but it seemed like he didn't really care if he had a partner or not. He was just looking curiously at the instruments.
"Step one. Cut the epidermis of the frog so that you can see the insides. Use the scissors." Hiei thought. "Scissors? What are scissors?" he stared at the instruments, and picked up a wooden craftstick. "Let's try this one." He mumbled.
"Snap!" the crafstick bounced off the frog and hit Aiko's head. Hiei had jabbed it straight into the frog, and had broken it in half.
"Oww!" Aiko looked around and saw Hiei holding half of the crafstick. "You again!" she exclaimed. She saw him looking from the crafstick to the frog, and decided he must be clueless. She slowly walked over and took the crafstick from his hand.
"Use the scissors. It's easier. Are you from another country or something?" She thrust the scissors into his hand, but let her hand brush slowly on his before walking away. This attracted many stares from the class and caused Hiei to redden, both from physical contact and for his lack of knowledge on human instruments. He buried his head in his instructions and began cutting. Slowly everyone began going back to his or her work, all but Kurama. He continued looking from Hiei to Aiko and pondered a while before cutting up his frog. The rest of class went pretty smoothly, except for Kisho almost cutting his finger off and...
Hiei was on step number 20: pin down the intestines and measure. He took a metal object and stabbed it into the pinkish form. A crack was heard as the whole scapel went headfirst through the desk with Hiei's hand still holding it. Mrs. Takato looked up, and saw what had been done.
"Oh, those were brand new desks!" wailed Mrs. Takato.
"I was pinning down the intestines." Replied Hiei.
"Well, you better get your scapel and your pins straight next time, or else I may have a dozen holes in that desk before I'm done with you!" This caused a series of laughter in the class, and Hiei's face turned as red as his eyes, if that was possible.
"He looks so cute when he blushes!" squeaked Kaho in the corner of the room. This caused more laughter.
"Shut up idiotic ningens." He eyed each person slowly and carefully.
In the background Kurama was making movements with his hands furiously, like charades. He acted out keeping the katana sheathed, losing the bet with Kuwabara, getting suspended, everything he could. It would have been quite funny to see the calm Kurama lose his grip under any other circumstance.
"Do not insult others!" boomed Mrs. Takato in a voice very unlike herself. "Lunch detention with me today! Now continue dissecting!" No one dared look at Hiei or Mrs. Takato while they finished answering questions about the frog.
I did a frog dissection becuz we did one in school so I knew about it! (I know they probably don't do frog dissections in high school but humor me!) Sorry for being to unreal with the teachers Magus Black! -- sniff Hiei got in trouble I feel so evil! NOOOO I would have made him take out his katana but that would have gotten him expelled and I want him in this story! Anyways, the other day I opened my inbox and I had 15 messages, almost all reviews and I practically cried. So overjoyed! Thanks so much! And for your input too and as you can see AikoXHiei will be put into action soon! Sorry I'm spending so much time on this part! It's like Yusuke and Kuwabara are gone! But I assure you they are not! At this point in the story they would be running...
