A Dragon's Dilemma
Chapter 4
Hiei was NOT happy. In the least. In fact, she was currently feeling a multitude of emotions right now, chiefly of which was the emotion of extreme discomfort concerning her situation. Not the situation of being a girl- she had finally decided it was a temporary inconvenience that would be dealt with soon, she'd already learned the limits of the body's fighting abilities.
But you see, Hiei had decided that the humans around him were incapable of believing in the existence of demons- let alone the fact that their beloved daughter was currently sharing a soul with one. So she hadn't bothered to mention the fact.
This had a downside. Mainly, the fact that he was now being forced to do something she never thought he'd have to. Go to school. And worse, a school she knew. Kurama's. It was that, or they'd put her back in bed and claim she was still sick and should stay there for the rest of the day.
Hiei decided to go to school. It had its advantages, she realized. Kurama was always the 'intelligent' on of the group, perhaps he already knew of a way to get Hiei out of this body. Yes, that's why Hiei would go to school.
At least, that's what she decided before she saw the uniform. . .
MEANWHILE. . .
Kurama was walking to school. Or rather, Shuiichi Minnamo was. To anyone who happened to glance his way, the fox-demon-gone-human would appear to have only his normal polite expression on his face, thinking of nothing but his day of school.
However, that was far from the only thing on his mind. Chief in his mind was Hiei, and how to find him. Koenma had sent them all away, forgetting to tell them what this new body of Hiei's looked like.
Unfortunately, he had to go to school- unlike Yusuke, who was probably asleep and didn't care. He shook his head and continued on his way, this was a problem he would need to think about. Botan had promised to come as soon as she had any information became available about Hiei's status, he would ask her then.
MEANWHILE. . .
Kurama was right. Yusuke was asleep.
MEANWHILE . . .
((Yes this is cruel, I apologize. . .))
Hiei was walking to school. In her uniform. In other words, she still wasn't happy. Now, if it had been up to her, she would have snuck off somewhere, waited until the afternoon and shown up at Kurama's house instead. But it wasn't. You see, the remaining spirit of the girl whose body he was in had a few. . .tricks up her sleeve. Hiei was currently arguing with her.
~I hate you.~ The disgruntled demon muttered mentally.
~Well, its my body too, you know. And I happen to like this outfit, and school. . .or would you prefer staying abed all day?~ The voice replied sweetly.
Remember Hiei's plan? Well, she had tried just that. Unfortunately, the girl inside of his head had immediately thrown a fit and began yelling in his head. Naturally, this gave Hiei quite a headache. Everyone had instantly been trying to get her to return to bed, thinking she was still ill.
And since that was the last thing Hiei wanted right now, she had agreed to put on the uniform.
~I fail to understand how you baka ningens can stand this sort of clothing,~ Hiei grumbled, pulling on the skirt a little bit. ~Its so damn uncomfortable.~ This gained him an irritated 'hmph' from Yumiara.
~Honestly,~ She said to Hiei's mind, ~If you're going to be a girl, you should start acting like one! Stop cursing so much.~
"Hn." Hiei said aloud, deciding not to dignify that comment with a response. Bot h were so absorbed in their 'thoughts' to notice the group of guys following Hiei.
One of them whistled. Hiei didn't make the connection, and hence, didn't bother turning around. The leader of the guys frowned.
"Hey boys, I think we're bein' dissed." He said loudly.
Hiei still ignored him. The boy frowned. Another one answered him.
"Yeah, boss. . .I think we is."
~We are.~ Yumiara grumbled in Hiei's mind. She paused, glaring at the air in front of her since she couldn't glare at the voice in her head.
~We're what?~
~Not WE, THEM.~ ~Then why did you say we?~
~Because HE said we IS and its we ARE~
~We are what?~
~. . .never mind.~
Hiei rolled her eyes and continued walking. Unfortunately, the boys noticed it and assumed it was directed at them.
"I think we need to teach this girl a lesson in manners." One of them growled. The others nodded. Hiei finally noticed them and turned to face them, eyes narrowed slightly.
"And just what do you think a group of morons like you can teach me?" She said dryly, gazing at them with her patented creepy stare. One of them yelled and ran torwards her, fist raised to punch her.
He missed.
Well, not exactly. You see, he WOULD have hit her were it not for the fact that she had caught his punch and used his momentum to calmly toss him into the nearest wall. The attacker groaned and fell silent. The others were frozen for a moment before they charged her.
Despite the new body, Hiei was still a fighter. The only blows she received were because she forgot that she was now a good deal taller. It was only two, and she quickly used this new revelation to her advantage.
She kicked one in the stomach, and slammed her elbow into another. With a quick flip she dodged two more hits, and the attackers knocked each other out. There were only three more. She drop kicked one, and as he fell, kicked straight up, knocking him into one of the others. The last one ran.
"Hn. Pathetic." Hiei muttered as she calmly side stepped the unconscious bodies and dusted herself off. It was then that the girl in his head overcame her shock.
~What were you THINKING! You're in a SKIRT!~ Yumiara shrieked to Hiei's mind, clearly ticked off.
~Your point?~ Hiei replied coolly.
~It's not. . .decent!~
Hiei rolled her eyes and once again ignored her. Now was NOT the time.
