A/N: Okay, as promised, here is chapter ten. Hiei decides to wander the school. ALONE. What will he do? Who will be his unlucky victims? Read and find out.

Chapter Ten: Hiei Causes Mischief

After handing his schedule to the teacher and allowing him to introduce him to the class, Kurama sat at an empty desk near one of the back windows and pulled out a notebook and pencil from his bag. "Hiei, try to stay hidden and as patient as possible, please." He whispered towards his pocket.

"Hn, just hurry up, fox." Hiei whispered back.

"Hiei, I can't just hurry up. I can't control the class time. You're just going to have to be patient." He replied.

"Whatever, just do what you need to and get me out of here." Hiei snapped before retreating into the pocket.

Kurama sighed and straightened in his seat, waiting for the teacher to start the class. Meanwhile, Hiei waited and listened as the 'teacher' told everyone to open their textbooks to page 42. He listened as the teacher explained the definition of the three words he had written onto the 'chalkboard'. What the hell's a chalkboard? Hiei thought. Quietly, he popped his head out from the pocket enough to see but not be seen. Several human children sat in rows in the same things that Kurama was sitting in. Desks, he called them. Hiei watched at an older man walked in front of the rows, pointing to a long board on the wall, half of it white and the other half green.

That's a chalkboard? He thought. It looks stupid. Like these stupid humans couldn't decide whether to make it white or green so they made it both. Figures. Hiei glanced at the green part of the board. On it were three rather large looking words: Amplification, Incredulous, and Decapitate. I know those words. Amplification is when sound is louder that is should be. Like if the deranged harpy were to start screeching in a cave, the sound would echo and magnify, becoming louder than necessary. Incredulous is how everyone ends up feeling when the detective actually says something intelligent; completely surprised. And Decapitate is my favorite word, the one I want to practice on with the oaf; to hack off ones head.

Hiei grinned at the image that went through his head and then frowned. This class had just started and yet he was already bored. He didn't want to stay here in Kurama's pocket the entire time, doing absolutely nothing. He needed a distraction. He needed entertainment. He needed to get out of here.

Hiei glanced around at all of the other students and then up at Kurama, noticed that he was being ignored, and then slowly slipped out of the pocket and landed silently on the ground. Quietly, he slipped under Kurama's desk and scurried across the back of the room to the door. Using all of his training in stealth, he quickly and quietly eased the door open enough for him to squeeze through.

After stepping out of the classroom, Hiei crept through the halls, determined to find something to entertain himself with while the halls were his. As he wandered, he suddenly heard shouting coming from behind one of the doors, followed closely by a very foul odor. Scrunching up his nose, Hiei crept to the door and quietly slid it open. What he saw reminded him of the time Kurama had taken him to the place where they kept wild animals in cages while humans gawked at them mindlessly. A zoo, if I remember correctly. He thought. There were rows of long black tables with many glass tubs and cups, along with a weird looking sink in the center of each table.

Students were running all over the place, seeming to be trying to get as far away from one of the tables as possible. A tall, balding man that Hiei assumed was the teacher was trying desperately to get their attention while trying to control the situation. Upon further observation, Hiei realized that the foul odor he smelled was coming from the table everyone was trying to avoid. One of the glass cups (beakers) had broken and the liquid had spilled all over the surface of the table and was dripping to the floor. Scrunching his nose again in distaste, Hiei turned and exited the room, shutting the door behind him.

Out in the hall again, Hiei walked a ways away from the room and took several deep breaths of cleaner air, trying to get rid of the putrid stench that lingered in his nostrils. As he walked, he suddenly spotted a large rectangle shaped thing standing vertically against a wall. It reminded him of Kurama's 'rafergilator' or whatever he called it, except this one was black and had a picture of an aluminum can that said Cola on it. Hiei scanned the machine, trying to find a way to get one of the drinks. Kurama had told him about these things. You were supposed to put money into the machine and push the button of whichever drink you wanted and it would give it to you. Unfortunately, Hiei didn't have any money, and even if he did, it probably would have shrunk too and he doubted the machine would take it.

Before he could figure out a way to get the drink, he heard voices coming from down the hall. Damn. He thought. Quickly he ran to the machine and jumped into the pocket that the drinks appeared in after they were paid for. Hiei scooted back as far as he could go to avoid being seen as the voices grew louder. He searched around him, trying to find another place he could slip in and spotted a long narrow hole above his head. Without thinking, Hiei jumped up and hauled himself into the hole, only to find himself facing row after row of aluminum Cola cans.

"Hey, I want a soda." Hiei heard one voice say, a boy's voice. Hiei smirked, an idea suddenly coming to his head. Quickly he climbed up onto the first row of cans and pulled the tab of the first one until he heard a soft click as the can opened. His smirk grew wider as he opened the next can and the next. "I think I'll go for an orange."

Hiei climbed up to where the orange cans were and quickly opened the tab to the first one, just as he heard the clinking of change being inserted into the machine. A whirring noise was heard as the can started sliding to the edge of its row. Hiei jumped to the next row as the can fell into the pocket with a wet clunk.

Suddenly there was a shout and a girl's scream from the other side of the machine, followed by an angrier shout from the boy. "What the heck, man?!" he shouted. A thud was heard above Hiei's head and he figured the boy had thumped his fist against the machine. He heard the clinking again as more change was put into the machine. Hiei opened the next orange can as it started to slide off its row. It landed in the pocket with another, wetter clunk and more shouting was heard. "Damnit!"

"Stop it!" Hiei heard the girl cry. "Just forget it, I'm getting wet."

"This machine is rigged." The boy said. "Both of these cans were open." There was another thump from the boy's fist. "Come on, let's get out of here. I need to wash this stuff off before it gets all sticky."

Hiei heard the two walk away before climbing down into the pocket, avoiding the spilled soda, and watching the couple head down the hall, the girl trying to wipe at her skirt. Smirking, Hiei climbed back into the machine and continued opening the rest of the sodas. Why leave a job half finished? Finally satisfied, Hiei crawled back down to the pocket and out of the machine, landing on the ground and dusting off his clothes with a smirk. He was sure this machine would be entertaining for a while until someone caught on and decided to get someone to check the cans. But he didn't feel like waiting for someone to come.

Instead Hiei continued down the hall until he got to a room full of what sounded like students dying. Thinking that a demon had entered the school and was slaughtering students, Hiei ran to the doors and pulled the doors open enough for him to slip through. He was surprised to see that all of the students were not dying as he had expected. Instead, they were all standing in rows, one behind the other, on strange looking steps, with papers held in front of them. Hiei turned to the front of the 'class' and looked at another chalkboard, this one all green and saw the words Choir 1: The first steps to magnificent singing.

'Singing?!' he thought incredulously. Are they kidding? They sound like they're being tortured or slaughtered. Shaking his head in disgust, Hiei turned and started to leave the room when something caught his attention. Turning, he spotted several stacks of paper in the back of the room. Walking over to them, Hiei picked up one of the sheets and attempted to read it. On the sheet were weird symbols and lines, with words underneath which were oddly spaced. No wonder they sing so terribly; they probably can't even read this crap. Stupid ningens. Then an idea came to his mind. Smirking, Hiei grabbed a small pile of the papers from the stack and snuck out of the room and across the hall to one of the windows. Quickly, he jumped up onto the window ledge, slid open the window, and tossed out the sheets of paper, watching them flutter in the wind on their way down.

Turning, Hiei jumped down and headed into the room and continued to take the papers out to the hall and toss them out the window. As he finished with the last stack, the ringing from earlier sounded from somewhere above him. Cursing silently, Hiei jumped down and ran up to two pairs of double doors. Hiei looked at the first pair of doors and noticed what looked like a person with a rectangle body, and then he looked at the second pair of doors and saw another person with a triangle shaped body.

"What the hell is this supposed to mean?" he demanded. Suddenly he heard children's voices coming from down the halls. "Damn." Quickly he scurried through the doors with the triangle bodied person on it and paused. In this room were long and large metal slabs protruding from one wall with weird looking white bowls between each slab of metal and smaller bowls hanging half way up another wall with mirrors above them. Before Hiei could ponder this much further, he was forced to hide behind a trash can as a group of girls entered the room.

"So then I went into my sister's room to see if she knew where it was, and she was wearing it." One girl said. The group of girls stopped in front of the mirrors. "Can you believe her? She was wearing my brand new skirt."

"That's terrible." Another girl said.

"If I were you, I'd have her arrested for theft." A third girl said.

"I would but she's my sister and for some reason, my parents want to keep her." The first girl said.

"Younger siblings are such a pain." The second girl said.

"My younger sister is always borrowing my makeup. It's so irritating." A fourth girl said.

"Mine is always trying to read my diary." Third girl.

"We better go or else we'll get another detention for being late." Said the first girl.

Hiei waited until the girls had left the room before emerging from behind the trash can. There was nothing more annoying to him than human girls. Are they really that shallow? Hiei thought. He waited a few moments longer until the bell rang again, signaling the start of the next class before Hiei headed to the door. Before leaving, however, he decided now would be the perfect time to pull another prank.

Smirking, Hiei went to the row of small bowls, which he determined were sinks, and grabbed one of the metal pipes protruding out of the wall underneath. Sending a bit of his energy into his hand, the metal started to slowly turn red with heat before melting completely. Immediately, water started spraying out of the pipe in a gush. He repeated this action with every pipe under every sink before heading out of the bathroom. "That should give the ningens some entertainment." He mumbled maliciously.

Hiei left the room, which he decided was a bathroom of some sort, and headed down the halls, ignoring any rooms that seemed boring, until he came to a room with large double doors with the words GYM painted in black on each door. Gym. Hiei thought. Yusuke said this was the exercising type of class. Let's see how these humans 'exercise'. Hiei pushed the doors open, he was surprised he actually had to put effort into it, and slipped in. Inside, he saw students jogging in a large circle around the room, all of them wearing the same looking clothes.

As he watched, a man and a woman stood in the middle of the room, both of them wearing a silver whistle and sweatshirts with the name of the school across the chest. The man was currently blowing the whistle and shouting at the boys, and the woman was shouting at the girls.

Hiei rolled his eyes. This is pathetic. Hiei thought exasperatedly. I'll show these humans how to exercise. Quickly Hiei ran to the back of the gym, where there was a rack full of long metal sticks hanging from each hook. The metal stick started out thick and then narrowed as it went down, stopping at the end with another thicker piece. Next to the rack was a small bucket filled with small white balls lined with red stitches.

Hmm. Hiei placed his hand on one of the metal sticks and sent his energy into his hand until heat started seeping into the metal stick. It glowed a bright red and Hiei removed his hand with a satisfied nod and moved on to the next one and the next one until each stick was glowing a bright red. Then Hiei scurried back to the front of the gym as the students stopped running and began to form in a large mob around the two teachers. Hiei stood against one of the doors and watched as the teachers explained, animatedly, whatever they were to do today. Then the students ran to the back of the gym and up to the rack of metal sticks and started grabbing them. Several students shrieked in pain as they were forced to drop the red hot metal sticks and clutch their burning hands.

Hiei smirked and shook his head before heading out of the gym and down the hall. As he walked, he started to think about heading back to Kurama's classroom when he realized that the first class was over already and he didn't remember what Kurama said his next class was. Now what am I supposed to do? He thought with frustration.

Perhaps you could stop pestering the students and listen to me when I tell you to stay in my pocket.

Hiei's eyes widened and he stopped, spinning in place, searching for the owner of the voice that invaded his head. Kurama stepped out from around the corner and faced him, his arms crossed over his chest and a frown on his face. "What have you been doing?" he asked softly, accusingly. "I have been looking all over for you, ever since the end of class and I found you missing. I told you not to leave my pocket."

"No, you told me to stay put and keep quiet and out of sight." Hiei retorted.

"Same thing." Kurama snapped. He sighed. "Just get over here. We have to get back to class."

Hiei rolled his eyes and walked over to Kurama, who picked him up and placed him back in his pocket. "Like I said before, 'Don't get used to this'."

"Of course not." Kurama said. After a pause, he asked, "So what have you been doing?"

Hiei smirked from inside the pocket. "Humans children seem to be extremely fond of gossip, fox. I'm sure you'll hear all about it before the day is even half over."

Kurama sighed again. "Yes, I'm sure I will."

A/N: well here is the chapter I promised. Its not as long as I wanted it to be but I ran out of ideas. Sorry it wasn't posted when I promised, but like I said, I ran out of ideas. I will now focus on the next chapter of my other story and when I finish that chapter, I will write the next one of this story. Please bear with me until then. Don't forget to review.
