Chapter 6: Becoming Shuiichi Minamino Part 2: The Test, and The Meeting

Shuiichi Minamino slowly walked down from the steps of his house and out to the sidewalk. Once there, he slung his backpack (which he had been dragging on the ground behind him) onto his back and looked up and down the street, making sure no one was around. He then placed his hands in his pockets, lowered his head and eyelids (slightly) and awkwardly began to walk. He looked as if he was having quite a hard time with his pace, which was slow and steady. Actually, it looked as if he wanted to take off at a run but that there was something preventing him from doing so.
Hiei was frustrated. He had, of course, been frustrated many times in his very long existence, but this was the worst. It topped the top. It scaled Mount Kilimanjaro. It went above and beyond the world's atmosphere. It went to the moon and back, NO! it went to the moon and stayed there! See how bad this is? Such a situation should NOT happen to such an adorable bishounen, EXPECIALLY when his soul is trapped inside another adorable bishounen; Kurama, or at the moment, Shuiichi. Hiei had been awoken at four in the morning by the body's rightful soul, Kurama, who was trapped in another body; Yusuke. After a very bizarre lesson about how to be Shuiichi, he had been getting his books and things into his backpack, which he found was almost impossible. Huge textbooks on algebra, geology, geometry, literally everything plus folders and spiral notebooks all had to be put in the bag; that's not even mentioning the writing utensils, calculator, ruler, and other small tools. He then had to go downstairs and eat breakfast with an over loving family, pretend to love them back, and also had to eat the disgusting human food. He had thankfully trudged out of the front door (after his mom gave him a kiss on the cheek) and now had to face the torment of school. Even shoddier for Hiei, was that Kurama had forgotten to mention the fangirls and Shuiichi fan clubs at his school.
"Shuiichi! Shuiichi! Look over here!" shouted a random girl once Hiei in Shuiichi (A/N: At school, I'll refer to him as "in Shuiichi" instead of "in Kurama") had gotten to school. He turned to his right and.FLASH! A camera went off. "Ooooo!!!! He looked at me! He looked directly at me! And I got a picture!" The girl ran around with the Polaroid of the confused Shuiichi and showed it to all her girlfriends; who all looked VERY jealous. Although Hiei had been anticipating girls to be swooning over him, this is NOT what he thought the swooning would be like. He had come to school thinking that maybe all the girls would blush and act shy in his presence, and although some of them did, most of them pointed to him, whispered to their friend(s), dashed over to him, and asked him to sign notebooks, folders, and (A/N: AHEM!!!) other.things. But all of this was peanuts compared to what happened next.
"Shuiichi! Hi, um, eh, wow! This is SUCH a honor." came a slightly high-pitched voice from Hiei in Shuiichi's left. He turned to face."Okama, my name is Okama (A/N: If you really want to know what 'Okama" means, email me XD) I'm a really big fan of yours, I mean, I admire you, adore you, look up to you, strive to be great and smart like you." Okama kept swooning. As he kept babbling, Hiei crept away.slowly.
Then the school clock sounded "eight" and signaled it was time for class. As all the pupils bustled into the school, Hiei tried to remember what Shuiichi's first class was. It's math, NO! Yeah, math, he thought. No! I think it's science. Science.science.no defiantly math. Math. Math. Math. He took a right from the entrance and headed to math class. He got there ten minutes late only to discover that it had been science that he should have gone to. How did he know this? Just the whole math class plus the teacher looking at him as if he (Shuiichi that is) had walked into the room nude. Okay, so maybe that isn't the right simile. If Shuiichi had walked in naked, than all the girls in the room would rush up to him. Okay, so, lets see.ah! The whole class plus the teacher looked at him as if he had gotten a "B" on a test (A/N: :-O). So Hiei ran as fast as he could (and was very grateful for the chance to run) to his science class.
"Shuiichi.you're.late?" his teacher seemed to ask rather than state. "Oh well, that's okay.I mean, you are Shuiichi Minamino!" The teacher looked nervously at some of the girls in the class, who had only a moment ago been slapping rulers into the palms of their hands and had had sinister looks on their faces. Now they were nodding as if to say, Yes, that's right. You wouldn't PUNISH him.no, 'cause then we'd get you! (A/N: *SHIVERS* Ooo.scary @__@)

* * *
Finally it was lunchtime; a break from the oh too hectic morning; a beginning to the going to be hectic afternoon. But at least in was a break. Hiei in Shuiichi sat under a tree with one knee up and the other leg straight out (a classic bishonen pose). He started to open his sack lunch that Shuiichi's mother had packed him; full of love and care. He looked inside the bag and nearly puked; peanut butter and jelly sandwich, a blood rd apple, soup in a thermos (God knows what kind.), and .a JUICE BOX! Hiei barely survived breakfast; this was too much. He was going top throw it away, but realized that hew was surrounded by a group of fangirls; go fig.
"Shuiichi! Shuiichi! Let me throw away your lunch for you!" (A/N: How did she know that that was what he was going to do? O_O)
"Shuiichi! Shuiichi! Tell me how you get your hair so perfect!"
"Shuiichi! Shuiichi! Let me try on your coat!"
It kept going. Hiei in Shuiichi jumped into the air, grabbed a tree branch, and swung himself up onto it; just as all the females pounced on him.
"I've got his sandwich!" shouted one.
"I've got his apple!" swooned another.
"I've got his thermos!" yelled a third.
"I've got his juice box!" crooned the one with the juice box.
"Well, uh.I've got his LUNCH BAG!" pronounced SiriousB1 (A/N: *shakes head* Sirious.Sirious.Sirious.*places head in hand and begins to cry*)
"AHHHHH! OHHHHHHH! WE LOVE YOU SHUIICHI!!!" that was all of them; every last one. "AWWWWW!!! Where'd he go?" Finally, they disbanded and went their separate ways.
Hiei watched all of this from the tree. This tree, he discovered, he had stood in when he was in his real body so that he could watch Kurama at school (YAIO FANGIRLS: AAAAAWWWWWWW! KAWAII!!!) (A/N: Um.yeah.that wasn't really meant to have any yaoi meanings, but if that's what you want to think, then by all beans think it! ^__^;;). He supposed that he should have realized then how hectic it would be to be Kurama, but he had forgotten. Sticking his head out of the tree, Hiei checked for fangirls; he didn't see any. Slowly he slipped out of the tree.
"Well, well, well; Shuiichi Minamino. I heard about your schedule incident this morning. Forget where the science room is?" mocked a voice near Hiei. It was Yuu Kaito; Shuiichi's school nemesis. Rather, Kaito's school nemesis is Shuiichi. If Shuiichi weren't there, then Kaito would be top of his class. So Kaito is very bitter toward Shuiichi. "I also hear that the teacher let you off. Huh. Probably because of the girls in the class. So, Shuiichi, do you need girls to get you out of trouble now?"
Hiei wanted to sock him in the face, but he had to keep his pride himself and act as Shuiichi would in this situation. "Actually, I find that the girls would prefer me getting THEM out of trouble. I can also not help the fact that the teachers like me, better than you at least," he calmly replied, looking casually at his fingernails as he said it.
"Oh yeah? Well, uh, your pink outfits make you look like a pansy! Yeah, a really big pussy!" (A/N: CAT! Ah, a nerd trying to insult someone. *Shakes head* It reminds me of me.) (FANGIRLS: *JAWS DROP* HOW DAR YOU, YOU CRAZY BASTARD!? WE'LL KILL YOU! GET HIM SHUIICHI!!)
Hiei couldn't bear it much longer; how did Kurama put up with it? Hiei had to think of an insult (A/N: Not too hard for him.) "Hn. (A/N: Classic!) My pink suit may not be up to YOUR standards, Kaito, but the girls seem to like it. Have you even ever been seen with a female? Besides your mom? And what's with your John Travolta hairdo?" Katio's mouth dropped and his hand went up to his hair, but Hiei as Shuiichi kept going. "It's rather 70's 'Saturday Night Fever', is it not?" Now he left Kaito gaping at the insult and his hair; Hiei went to his first afternoon class, feeling much better.
* * * Hiei in Shuiichi had gone to afternoon classes feeling good; actually, he had gone to school feeling good. He came out of school feeling like a wreck. Classes full of useless, boring information that Hiei knew most of. Fangirls, and a fanguy, all over him, all day. Insulting Kaito was the only joy of his day. The worst part was that he kept tripping from the slow paced walk. NO! The worst part of the day was gym; he thought he was entering the guy's locker room, but he was actually entering the GIRL'S locker room. He stepped in it and all the girls looked up at him, nervous and blushing; then realized who it was, and wanted to take it ALL OFF. (A/N: I mean, this scene almost made my eyeballs melt! I mean, I'm the one watching these goings-ons so that I can report them to you people, but that was too extreme for me!) Anyway, now he was meeting Kurama in Yusuke at the public library to go over the day's events. Hiei would tell Kurama how SWELL everything went; say it was really quite fun and that he was sort of glad for the attention. And Hiei knew that he couldn't handle much more of this; he was going to have to take things into his own hands. What Hiei didn't know, was that he'd be late for his appointment with Kurama. Hiei in Shuiichi was walking over to the library, when he stopped abruptly. He looked at the fence post. Atop it sat a large squirrel with an odd red cape. It was looking curiously at him. Hiei in Shuiichi looked curiously back. It stayed in that silent staring contest for about one minute, and then Hiei looked past the squirrel, past the fence it sat on, and into the graveyard beyond. A tall, dark figure sat atop a tombstone underneath a tree full of crisp, brown, dead leaves; the figures face was hid in black shadows. Hiei hopped the fence; forgetting the squirrel, the meeting with Kurama and the fact that he was Kurama for the time being. All that mattered right now was reaching that dark figure that Hiei knew was the beast Yusuke's spirit team sought: Gimokodan. Hiei reached the path in front of the grave below the headstone that Gimokodan casually sat on. Then the dark man began to laugh. Not a pleasant laugh, but a sinister, low-pitched, slow chuckle. "It's been a long time, Hiei. Or maybe right now it should be Shuiichi," he laughed. Hiei screwed up Kurama's face into an extreme mass of loathing. "O no, do you still hate me because of what I did to our comrades? Tsk, tsk. That was so long ago; you sure can keep a grudge." "You brutally and deliberately murdered our five teammates. That goes against the pact we made to fight together until the end," Hiei said through clenched teeth. He had his hands rolled into fists and was squeezing them so hard, it seemed his fingernails might pierce the skin and draw blood that was not his own any second now. Gimokodan moved his face out of the shadows. His face was pale, but not quite a sickly white-cream. It was more a graying-blue, like flesh that's frozen. The rest of his skin was the same color. He had very dark wrap- around sunglasses on even though there was no sun out, or there didn't seem to be; not around him. Hiei knew what was under the sunglasses; bright red eyes that Gimokodan couldn't disguise, so he had to hide behind the shades. His hair was a dull yellow; very dull. All the shine was gone. It was slicked back (A/N: Seen Harry Potter? Think Draco Malfoy's hairdo) with some gel. He wore dull green and dull blue, never quite black; just dull. Then he spoke, "The end would never have come, Hiei, not with those pathetic wimps. They would never have found what we were looking for. You and I were the only two ones powerful enough to handle the task. You knew it, and let it slide. I knew it, and did something about it. I created the end; the beginning of it at least. I'm here to end the end. The End of Life, the humans. The End of Death, the spirits. The End of Power, the demons. The End of Everything." "Then why did you switch our bodies, you pathetic low-life? It seems pointless. Seems so, anyway," Hiei broke in. "Oh that," Gimokodan grinned. "Just a game to pass the time. A mere prank. What? Don't you think it's funny?" "Switch us back, or tell me how!" demanded Hiei. Now he was furious. He had been looking at the ground, but now he threw his head up. Kurama's red locks seemed to swim in the air for a second or two, before they came to rest amidst his shoulders. "Sorry, Hiei, I'd love to stay and chat, but I have to run. Business, you see." "Gimokodan!" "Bye, old friend." "GIMOKODAN!" A whitish fog hung about Gimokodan; he jumped up into it. "SQUIRREL GOES WHEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!" screamed the caped squirrel on the fence post far behind Hiei. Hiei turned to look at it, then looked back at Gimokodan, but gone. "GIMOKODAN!!!!!!!"

WWWWWWWWWWWWHHHHHHHEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

A/N: You all probably hate me because I haven't updated in so long. Next week I'm going on vacation and we won't have computer access *SOBS*, but I'll try to write then. However, school starts after that and I might be even slower than I am now (is that possible?) so, again, sorry. Well, the plot is thickening and getting less funny (not intentional, I just think that the quality of the humor has gone downhill since the first chapter *SOB*). Anywho, I think I'm liking where it's going, not with the comedy level, but I mean the characters; Hiei being old friends with Gimokodan, that is. So.I can't think of much else to say, so, buh bye now!
