Chapter Four: Middle School

A/N: Linda: Good morning! Well, not morning. Its 5 PM. Oops. Lydia: Why didn't we get down here earlier? Linda: sorry! I'm trying to get my Mac working upstairs, and I've never used one before. In addition, there is no place to put in a floppy disk, so I can't work on the stories up there! Lydia: Hn. Linda: you taking after Hiei now? Lydia: Hn. Linda: Fine then. On with the story!

"Excuse me, Iwamoto-sensi." Keiko stood in the front of the class with Amaya standing behind her. Keiko bowed, then continued. "This is Amaya, our new student." Amaya stepped forward, then bowed herself. (A/N: I hope I got that name right, tell me if I didn't!)

"Ah, yes. Ms. Higurashi. Please take a seat next to Keiko, and we will begin our class." Keiko and Amaya bowed once again, then walked to the middle of the classroom where their seats were.

Sitting down, Amaya decided to not pay attention the teacher. What was the point, anyway? She had already learnt all this stuff in her school. She decided instead to look around the room at all the other students. Some she remembered, from when she had watched Yu Yu Hakusho on television, others looked new. A couple of the boys seemed to be checking her out. She had changed into the school uniform, but wouldn't wear the normal long skirt. Instead, she had decided to wear a shorter skirt that stopped half way up her thighs.

"pssst." Came a voice from behind Amaya. She turned around to see a couple of the boys looking from her to each other. "pssst, hey cutie." One of them said to her. She turned back around, deciding it was better to ignore them along with the teacher. But after she had been poked in the back a couple of times by one of the boy's pencils, she turned back around.

"What do you want?!?" she said, in an angry voice but a whisper. Her voice had been so cold sounding, that for a moment the boys didn't know what to do. Then one said,

"Hey cutie. Wanna meet us outside behind the tree during recess? We'll have lots of fun, if you know what I mean." He laughed, looking back to his friends. Amaya thought to herself for a moment, trying to think of a way she could get out of this without telling anyone too much.

"Well, I would. But I can't, you see. I've already made plans to meet Yusuke and his gang during recess. So sorry." She smiled to herself, thinking 'gang. Yeah right, its only Kurama Hiei and Kuwabara. Although Kurama and Hiei could kick these guys butts.' She opened her eyes, realizing she had them closed. The facing of the boys almost made her break out laughing.

"You.. You're. you're one of Urameshi's girls?" Amaya nodded, then turned back around. She knew that those boys weren't going to bother her anymore. And once the word got around school that she was 'Urameshi's girl,' no one in the whole school was going to bother her. She smiled and looked to the clock, seeing that there was only five minutes of class left.

"Ms. Higurashi, why are you packing up? I haven't dismissed this class yet." Came a voice from the front of the classroom. Amaya looked up to see Mr. Iwamoto staring at her. She continued to pack her items into her bag.

"Sorry, but I'm done taking notes. Thought I would get ready for the bell. You don't have to stop your class just for me, Iwamoto-sensi." She finished packing and set her bag down on the ground next to her seat. She would then look up, a cheery smile on her face.

Mr. Iwamoto sighed, and then turned around continuing his lesson on the board. Five minutes later, and the class was leaving the room. Keiko stepped closer to Amaya as they walked out. "What do you think you were doing, packing up early?" she asked in an irritated voice.

"Well, in my real school I've already learnt all that stuff. I didn't see any point in taking notes again, you know?" Amaya smiled and then skipped away to her locker. Gym was next, and she wasn't in the mood to carry her whole bag down there.

"No, I don't think I know. Oh well..." Keiko sighed and walked to her locker. Placing her bag inside, she thought to herself out loud. "I hope Yusuke doesn't skip again! That boy can be so annoying some times." She closed her locker and followed a skipping Amaya down to the gym

Gym

"Ok students. Today we are going to be continuing volleyball. Please get into your teams and wait for someone to bring you a ball. Thank you!" the teacher's voice roared over the talking that filled the gym. Keiko stood up and walked over to Amaya.

"You can be on our team, okay?" She said, as a two other girls walked over. Amaya nodded then watched as Keiko looked around. "Where are those two?"

"Who two?" asked Amaya, following Keiko's gaze and looking around the gym. She turned around to see Yusuke and Kuwabara walking up behind them. "You mean them?" she pointed to them. Keiko turned around, and saw them. Suddenly, Yusuke swore.

"@#$%! Amaya, why'd ya tell Keiko we were here? We were going to sneak up on you guys." Yusuke and Kuwabara jogged over to them, smiling. The two other girls that Amaya didn't know sighed, but Keiko seemed to be getting angry.

"YUSUKE! What do you mean, going to 'sneak up on us??' We don't have time! We need to start playing volleyball. Now, Kuwabara, go get us a ball!" Amaya could almost see steam coming out of Keiko's ears. She giggled, which made Keiko go after her instead. "And what are you laughing at, Amaya?? There is NOTHING funny going on here!" Amaya just stood still, taking the abuse. Suddenly, Keiko seemed to realize what she was doing. "Oh my! I'm sorry Amaya! I didn't mean to yell at you." Amaya stepped closer to Keiko and placed a hand on her shoulder.

"Keiko, it's alright. You're over-stressed. Let's just line up to play some volleyball, k?" Amaya smiled, gave Keiko's shoulder a squeeze and stepped into position to play. Kuwabara came running back with a ball, and the other team was starting to yell at them. Everyone else lined up and they started the game.

Girl's Locker Room

"Man that was a tough game! I didn't think the other team was that good." Amaya was tying her shoes. Keiko was placing her gym clothes into a basket, and locking it up.

"Yeah that was tough, but with Yusuke there we did better than normal. And we won this time, too!" Keiko smiled and pushed a piece of hair out of her face. Amaya finished with her shoes, and put her gym clothes away as well.

"Yeah, it must have been hard trying to play with only four people." Keiko, who had started to walk out of the locker room, paused.

"What do you mean, four people?" she turned around to watch Amaya.

"Well, without me you only had five people, and then sense Yusuke always skips gym, well most of the time, you would only have four people. Aren't I right?" Amaya walked towards Keiko and then past her, out into the gym.

"Yeah, you are right. But how did you know all that stuff? I mean, did Yusuke tell you about it?" Amaya paused suddenly. Of course! Yusuke must have told Keiko that I really was his cousin. I guess he didn't want to tell her Yokai were coming from other realms. Amaya thought to herself she turned around and said,

"Yeah, Yusuke told me. He didn't know if I was a good student or not so he was telling me about his hiding place on the roof and stuff." Keiko smiled and walked forward and then the two walked out of the gym to their lockers and then their next class.

End of School

"Hey Amaya, wait up!" came a voice behind her. Amaya turned around to see Keiko, Yusuke, Kuwabara and Yukina running up behind her. She paused to let them catch up. When they got there, she smiled at Yusuke.

"Hey, cuz. What's the plan for today?" Yusuke smiled back at her, and Keiko looked to each with a puzzled look on her face. They're acting like there is a secret they know that we don't. Oh well, it must just be a family thing. But now that I think about it, they don't look alike at all. Suddenly, a hand was on Keiko's shoulder as she thought. She looked up, surprised.

"Keiko, I was just asking you if you wanted to come with us to Kurama's house." Yusuke, who had his hand on her shoulder, was staring at Keiko.

"Oh right, um. s-sure. Sure!" she pulled her bag farther up her shoulder and walked in the direction of Kurama's house. The other's followed her. Amaya stopped for a moment, watching Kuwabara try to flirt with Yukina and Yusuke and Keiko just walk together in silence. She smiled to herself, and then went to catch up.

A/N: Linda: Yay! I got the Mac working! Sweet. Lydia: Yeah, now we can say a whole bunch of bad stuff and our parents can't see! Linda: O.o no.. that's now why I wanted a computer in my room *sweatdrop* Lydia: riiight. you just keep telling people that. See you next chapter, please R&R!
