'Jaganshi's Dreams'
Hiei looked down at the people casually walking below him. He had dreamt the same thing last night as the rest of the previous nights. He glanced up at the thick tree branches above and around him, laden mostly with lush emerald leaves. He watched as the sun managed to filter through the few transparent ones, casting an eerie glow about him.
" Maybe it's this tree that makes me dream of her..." He thought out loud, trying to reassure himself.
The girl in his dream... She was in every way to him perfect... Even in the dream she seemed so brilliantly real, as if she could jump out of it and embrace him lovingly in her arms... Like she did just before he would awake. He loved and dreaded that hug, along with her, because it always seemed she would not appear again in his dreams tomorrow. Yet she always appeared, just as real as before.
Hiei glanced down and spied Yusuke, Keiko, Kurama and Kuwabara across the street. He'd heard them before, mostly due to the idiot, idiotically thinking he would get a better grade on the Botany test than Kurama. Hiei jumped down from his perch, having decided to not bring his sword, but leave it tucked between the branches. He landed smoothly on the sidewalk and stood on the curb, waiting for a small gap in traffic to cross through. He crossed expertly, hearing the echo's of a cursing semi driver, and appeared in front of the rambling idiot. Kuwabara jumped back before muttering something about," Fast, short people also known as 'Satan's Evil Midget Minions from Hell'."
Kurama looked knowingly at Hiei and said, " Same dream?"
"Yes, It seems to me to be so real. I'm sleeping, but it's not a restful sleep. As if I'm actually there with her. I'm going to switch trees tonight."
"It's not the tree Hiei..." Kurama sighed.
They had just entered the school yard when Hiei froze. There she was. The girl from his dream. She was standing by another girl, and he realized they both must be new students, saying he'd never noticed them before. His attention shifted back to his girl as she pulled her brown hair back into a ponytail. Her purple eyes reflected the sunlight in the same beautiful way they reflected moonlight in the dream. She was wearing the same black clothes too.
"Who ya starin' at Hiei?" Yusuke questioned, his hands above his eyes as he gazed over the crowd, his eyes quickly skipping over the girl in black. Kurama nudged Hiei, breaking him out of his wonderful memories of the dream. Hiei looked up, happened to see the clock and after pointing out to the others that they were late, they raced inside (Hiei obviously in the lead). Hiei didn't notice that the girl he had admired was gazing at him fondly, a flush of pink on her cheeks.
The class murmured in confusion. When Yusuke and the others had burst in they came in to see no teacher handing them detention slips, which shouted out that the teacher was probably in the bathroom. That had been fifteen minutes ago, and now Yusuke was recalling the way he had 'marvelously' crushed Suzaku to Kuwabara, who was desperately trying to look interested. Hiei and Kurama, who had ended up sitting by each other, were talking about the Botany test when the door squeaked open. The class instantly hushed. The teacher entered followed by none other than the two silent girls. ( What a coincidence!)
"Class, these are our new students. Meet Liei and Rei. They came from a different school on certain circumstances. Now ladies, you may take a seat where ever you want."
The girls nodded quietly as they turned simultaneously. Liei had long, shimmering silvery hair and coppery eyes. She smiled as she sat down at the desk next to Kurama. Her blue outfit was obviously a hakama, made out of a light blue top and midnight blue pants that were loose and still managed to show her slender leg's movements. A piece of white cloth was wrapped around her waist, tied on the side with a typical knot.
Rei went around to the desk next to Hiei. As she sat down she smiled brightly at him, her purple eyes reminding him of a perfect amethyst. Her all black outfit was the equivalent to Liei's, though the pants were shorter by a bit. She quickly brought out a small notebook and tugged a pen from her pocket as she began to write. Then Hiei felt a light tap on his shoulder and realized he'd been staring at her open mouthed, drooling slightly wetting a part of his shirt. He thanked Kurama and then a stack of stapled papers flew like a brick onto his desk. His cocky grin instantly vanished.
"Now students pay attention. You have an hour and thirty minutes to finish. You may begin."
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Hiei groaned as he massaged his numb wrists. He leant heavily against his locker door and slid to the tiled floor. His fingers had become stiff and their few movements jerky.
" I hate these idiotic tests. We're not ALL idiots. And besides, tests just give Kurama more chances to show off..." Hiei muttered.
'Kurama probably aced the stupid thing... Well, on the good side at least I'll get a better grade than Kuwabara and the girls. Kuwabara will have failed horribly and the girls should have...'
He grinned at the thought. Kurama walked quickly down the hallway towards Hiei.
"Hiei, it's lunch time now. You don't want to be stuck at the end of the line do you?"
Hiei nodded to acknowledge him and stiffly got up. He followed Kurama down the noisy corridor, ignoring the usual stares and whispers. They were soon joined by Yusuke and the rest of the noisy group. Then Hiei, having zoned on a row of crooked tiles, bumped into someone his height. His head jolted up, and he saw Rei, who had blinked in confusion before she smiled. Liei slid out of the narrow opening behind her.
Yusuke knew that dreaded door they'd just walked through, and regarded them as demons, or two little Botans come to annoy him to a second death. Liei, who either noticed his obvious expression of shock or been a mind reader (Yusuke definitely favoring the first) said in a soft silky voice that made Kurama instantly melt, " We're not in trouble, Yusuke. They decided to grade our papers immediately when they heard our reputations, however expecting us both to fail. They were stunned about one score, not so stunned in the same way about the result on the other."
Rei instantly scowled at the slightly shorter girl. " Stop bragging! Just cause you're a genius doesn't mean you get to brag about it! I think I got a very good score compared to my last score in Botany!"
Hiei halfway listened to the droning conversation. The two girls seemed to be chatting openly with them, Liei focusing on answering Kurama's questions the most. They reached the lunch room, and split off, the girls having brought their lunches. Hiei started to try relaxing, having been unusually tense when Rei was walking close to him. He then drifted into how he'd seen her before she'd shown up, when Kuwabara interrupted his thoughts with a loud sigh. The conversations between them stopped and they all stared.
"Yusuke, let's not talk to those girls again. They act perfectly normal, but that one, Liei, she's way too smart and her name is too close to the midgets. And the vibe I get off the other is just totally creeping me out."
"The other girl's name is Rei." Hiei said abruptly. He picked up his lunch then walked off and waited for them. When they finally arrived three millennia later, they looked around the blaring cafeteria. Every table had been filled while the others had waited in the never ending line.
"There's nowhere to sit. Except for a couple places at those girls table. You know, the creepy ones." Kuwabara stated, sounding nearly halfway to intelligence.
"Does pointing out the obvious make you feel smart?" Hiei asked sarcastically.
"Come on guys. They won't bite us. Unless they sprout lil' demon fangs like Kuwabara thinks they're going to." Yusuke said, leading the way to the table with Kurama following eagerly. Liei acknowledged their existence (unlike Rei) over a bowl of sticky steamed rice and a bottle of water.
Kurama seated himself immediately next to Liei, who seemed to highly approve. Yusuke sat next to Kurama and Keiko across from himself. Hiei reached the table last, having pushed through the crowd that was utterly oblivious of him. He stopped at the end of the table, the only open spot being next to Rei. He gulped and nervously sat down. Rei glanced at him, a pair of well loved chopsticks sticking out of the right side of her mouth. She took them out, swallowed and asked clearly, " What's your name?"
Hiei stared, forgetting his lunch. He didn't notice the awkward silence that had settled over the table. He started gazing at the bandanas Liei and Rei wore. They reminded him of his own to cover his jagan. Liei noticed the look in his eyes as he gazed silently at her white bandana. She laughed and slipped it off smoothly, her short white bangs ruffling in the process. There was nothing there except for a small crescent shaped scar.
"We wear these just for fun, but mostly to cover these scars on our foreheads. We never have seen anyone else wearing bandanas like ours."
Hiei visibly relaxed and said," My name is Hiei Jaganshi."
Rei looked at him first and then at Liei in a confused manner.
"You and Liei's names are really similar. Except for last names, cause hers is Avalon... But are you two related?"
Kurama, who had been chatting about some subject none of them understood with Liei (who had known a surprising amount about the subject), turned slightly and said," There's no way they can be related. They not only look entirely different, have different last names, etc, but Liei is way smarter than Hiei."
Hiei nearly spilled the remainders of his lunch over three tables as he furiously jumped up.
"WHAT DID YOU JUST SAY MINAMINO?!"
He felt a soft hand rest on his quivering shoulder.
"Calm down Hiei... He's probably just comparing you to Liei's intelligence. I don't think anyone's able to compare their wits to hers."
Rei was looking straight into his eyes. She seemed to have come directly out of his dreams.... As if, she was trying to comfort him in some strange way. Yet even in his anger, her shining eyes never trembled away from his furious gaze.
to be continued............
Ok..... This may have been good, I honestly don't know; I just wrote it. A friend edited... Thanks Rei! I wrote this at her request.... Ok, now for the stupid disclaimer thingy... you're probably wondering why I never put it at the beginning, but I think that it's obvious that the person who made YuYu (etc.) isn't on here. (If you are.... Kurama is the best person you made...) But, just to keep people happy, I don't own YuYu (if you haven't already guessed). But I do own Liei... Rei is obviously, Rei's. Good bye until the next chapter.
