"You're a… fun-ruiner-er, Martha! Telling me not to bring my axe to school, this is perfect timing! I could've started to complete my 'to kill' list! I have like, 80 people on there and all of them are weak and probably easy kills! But, no! You said that I'd get in trouble and people would question how I got a giant axe!" Amanda whined as we walked to school, she had attempted to convince me to let her bring her axe so she could kill all the people who were on her 'to kill' list, and I almost let her as all the people on there are annoying, but I decided that getting put in jail for killing 80 people wouldn't be too good.

"You have a 'to kill' list?" Hiei's voice said from behind us, and I was unaffected by it. I was used to him randomly popping up out of nowhere, so it didn't really freak me out.

"Yup. Wanna see it? I think I put it in my backpack somewhere…" She grumbled, looking through her backpack and pulling out a few pieces of paper. "There ya go! All the most annoying people in our school!"

"Eh?… You have any reasons for wanting to kill these people? I mean, they are all annoying, I'll give you that but…" Hiei started and Amanda cut him off,

"Yup! I have great reasons for wanting to kill them! Lets see… Well, most of them either made fun of Anime, Manga, Sesshy, Three Days Grace, Evanescence, any rock band that I like, really, uh… some mistook Sesshy for a girl, some thought Inuyasha was ugly, some called my Mangas mangos, some were talking about you and your grandpa pants uh…" She began then sighed. "And, number one on there… Rejected me in the 5th grade oh-so-cruelly! 'In your dreams' is such a meanie-butty-conceded way to reject someone, y'know? If you're going to tell someone you don't like them, be nice about it!"

"Wow, I never thought you'd be so… murderous, Amanda." Came Shuiichi's voice, which was followed by his amused chuckle.

"Thanks!… Oh, Hiei! You wanna see my 'to hug' list? It's people that are so awesome they deserve a happy hug every single day! And guess who's number one?… YOU!" She yelled, quickly hugging Hiei before he could escape, it was pretty funny actually, how Hiei tends to look less and less irritated by Amanda nowadays… and how happy cranky-short-tough Hiei makes Amanda.

"Lemme go, nit-wit!" He growled, and she let him go.

She looked at him with sad little Amanda-eyes and sniffled, "Don't be so cruel Hiei! I only wanted to hug the coolest, sweetest, awesome, nicest, shortest, cutest person ever!"

Hiei rolled his eyes and ignored Amanda's crying about how 'cruel yet adorable' he was. It was a pretty normal morning, for me at least, except for the fact I felt like we were being watched…


"It's your pencil stalker!" Amanda screeched when I told her during lunch.

"Pencil stalker?" Hiei asked, scoffing what seemed to be a laugh.

"Yeah, a stalker who breaks into your locker and gives you pencils!" She explained and Shuiichi smiled at the two of us.

"It creeps me out, y'know? I go to my locker and find pencils that I've never seen before!" I glanced around, as if making sure my pencil stalker wasn't listening.

"Well, if you didn't want the pencils, you should've just said something!" I heard Shuiichi said, and I looked at him, highly creeped out.

"Oh, so you're my pencil stalker? Then could you return the folder you stole from my locker, I kinda need it…" I grumbled, and Amanda began to freak out next to me.

"Ah! Awesome Shuiichi is a pencil stalker! That's so wrong! So very wrong!" She yelled, a bit too loudly.

"Um… I was just kidding, okay? Calm down Amanda!" He said then, when she wouldn't listen to him, he looked at Hiei. "Hiei? Could you get her to settle down?"

Sighing, Hiei glared at Amanda and said, "Shut up, nit-wit." And, of course, Amanda listened to him and shut up for a moment but couldn't stand it and opened her big mouth yet again.

"Martha? We should go investigate! I feel like we're being watched as well, and it's kind of creeping me out!" She offered and I nodded.

"We'll come with y-" Shuiichi began, but we both shook our heads.

"No, you two stay here, we can handle it. We'll just go get our weapons and go on a hunt for the stalker, no big deal." I stood, as did Amanda. "We'll be fine."

"Yeah, I wanna kick some stalker butt! Don't worry 'bout us!" Amanda said, then went over and hugged Hiei.

After a moment she let go of him and said, "Oh yeah! Why don't you two go find Tim and ask her if she has any idea who's stalking us!"

"Um, Tim?" Shuiichi said, sounding confused.

"I believe she's referring to Botan… the 'Tim' of dying…" I explained, sighing and grabbing Amanda's arm. "Other than the fact that Amanda thinks Botan's name is Tim, that's actually a decent suggestion. So, you should go find her and ask while we hunt the moron down… come on, Amanda."

"Bye, bye, guys! We've got a stalker to kill!" She said as I dragged her out of the lunchroom.


(There you have it, chapter 12... Oh yeah, I'm going to type up all of Kurama's POV, 2-12 {including the mini-chapter of Christmas} and post it, so it may be a bit before it comes up, but know that I am working on it…

Oh yeah! R&R please!)
