Here's the second chapter so I hope you enjoy it. Please R&R!
Chapter Two: Many Mistakes" I cannot believe you did that Kurama! If you don't want to then don't!" Yelled Yusuke and Kuwabara in unison. Kurama had been complaining about it for a while. He still hadn't figured out exactly why he did but he wasn't too happy about his decision.
" For once I agree with the idiots," Hiei remarked. " All these years in the human world have made you soft. Humans and their stupid thing they call compassion. I still don't understand it."
' Oh yeah, compassion, that's why I said yes. Me and my big mouth!'
" So what do you think this girl is going to be like?" asked Kuwabara.
" I say she is gonna be one of those snobby rich girls. You know the kind, they have that : Oh I am too good for you air around them. They act all high and mighty just because they have money." Yusuke looked at Kurama. " Right?
Kurama gulped, " I'll take the fifth."
" Yup, he thinks that too." Yusuke looked at his watch. " Ah man! I've got night classes to go too. Keiko will kill me if I'm late bye guys I'll see you later!" Yusuke took off running and left the other three Rekai Tantei behind.
" Well, I suppose I should get going too. Mr. Kusanagi wants me at the college around 10:30. Good night." Then Kurama began to walk towards his house, dreading the next day.
It was ten o' clock in the morning. It was time to meet the dreaded Akima.
" Shuichi where are you going?" Asked Kurama's mother, Shiori who had appeared around the corner. "Going to a breakfast date perhaps?"
Kurama shook his head. " No just to school. I'm doing a favor for the Dean."
" Oh," his mother's face took on a disappointed look. " Well then I'll see you later. Bye dear."
" Good bye Kasaan." Kurama shouted before leaving the house.
He arrived just in time, 10:30 on the dot. " So has she arrived yet?" Kurama took a seat in Mr. Kusanagi's office.
" No but she'll be here soon." The Dean assured him.
Five minutes passed, fifteen, thirty, then an entire hour had gone by. He hadn't even met this girl and she was already irritating him. ' She's probably trying to be fashionably late I bet! I wish I didn't have to be so polite all the time!'
*Ring, Ring*
The Dean picked up the phone. " Hello? Yes, this is the Dean speaking. A meeting? Oh yes I'll be there. No inconvenience at all. Yes, good day." He turned to Kurama. "It appears that I must go to a very important meeting Shuichi. I'm very sorry to lay all of this on you but could you show Akima around without me?" His eyes were pleading and Kurama could tell he was desperate.
He lowered his head in submission, " No problem Mr. Kusanagi. I'll take care of everything." The Dean got up from his seat and shook Kurama's hand vigorously. " Thank you so much. I owe you big time for this Shuichi." Then the Dean walked out the door. Kurama sighed; this was going to be a long day.

" What are you doing Ami?" Asked a girl with short black hair. Her blue eyes narrowed as she looked at a girl who was a few years older than her. Ami was laying on the front of the convertible getting, what appeared to be a tan.
Ami lowered her sunglasses, " I'm scoping out the scenery for my next masterpiece." She motioned to the surrounding area.
The girl dropped the tank of gas and crossed her arms angrily, " Really, because to me it looks like you're getting a tan." Ami shrugged. "You were getting a tan while I was running five miles to a gas station and five miles back because you forgot to fill the tank! And not to mention I had to do it in a stupid skirt! You were getting a tan!!!"
Ami hopped off the car, " Well Akima, I can't help it if it serves a double purpose."
Akima began to fill the tank up with gas, " Ugh, artists!"
Ami got in the driver's seat and put her sunglasses back on, " Everyone's a critic!"
They both erupted a brief silence then they erupted into laughter. Akima jumped into the passenger seat. " Come on let's go, I'm late already.
Two pairs of soft footsteps echoed down the hallway. Kurama's Youko ears and sense of smell picked them up easily. ' And so it begins…' he thought to himself with dread. He heard a sort of struggle going on between the two girls; an argument I guess you could call it.
" Come on Akima," her sister attempted to grab her hand again and again failing miserably.
" No way am I going to wear this thing. I look stupid. Haven't I suffered enough? I mean come on I had to ride over here with a lazy bum like you right?" she grinned evilly.
" Baka!" Ami smacked her on the head. " Is this what I get for spending my precious time to pick you up from the airport?"
" No it's what you get for making me late. You know, for forgetting to fill the tank with gas, making ME walk a total of ten miles to a gas station, making me pay for the gas because you were broke, and for getting a tan and laughing at me when I got back." She retorted.
Ami rolled her eyes, " Whatever. Any way, I have a lot of better things to do than baby-sit an ungrateful brat like you."
Akima stuck out her tongue, " Who's baby-sitting who?" she challenged. Ami glared back.
Kurama listened to the conversation with interest. So, Akima didn't want to come in here because she didn't like the uniform? But somehow, it seemed like that wasn't it…
" Get in there!" Ami shouted as she shoved her sister in.
A raven haired girl stumbled in muttering a few curses at her oppressor. " Can't you grow up for once?!," she yelled back.
Another girl popped her head in, " See you around Sis." She gave a wave and before she left the room she gave Kurama a wink. Akima rolled her eyes and Kurama mentally winced at the action.
Akima stared at her sister, the irritation was shown plainly on her face. Then she turned around and for the first time she saw Kurama. She flashed a smile and held out her hand, " Hi, I'm Akima Torigeshi."
