Disclaimer: I do not own Yu Yu Hakusho and its entirety and the songs that
Mika supposedly "wrote". I'll point out these songs, when they come, but
I'm just saying right now I don't own ANY of them. I however own the
following: Mika Ito, Kenji Ito, Mr. and Mrs. Ito, Yumi Kisaku, Ashi Kisaku,
Eimei Hawasaki, and Asurito Kamiya. Thank you.
Note: As you can see above, there are new characters added to this story: Yumi Kisaku, Ashi Kisaku, Eimei Hawasaki, and Asurito Kamiya. Yes, Yumi and Ashi are brother and sister. Yumi is just a random name I just used, but Kisaku means clever. Ashi has a meaning; it means evil (well the Kanji used anyway. Otherwise, it'd mean reed. Lol) Eimei means intelligent and Asurito means athletic. Their last names were random as well. Read the story if you want to know how they play into the story. By the way, I know Eimei's name seems hard for people that don't know Japanese, so here's how you pronounce it: eh-ee-may. Okies? If you can't pronounce the other names, either e-mail me at mimiz3000@aol.com or ask in your review.
On with the story!
Chapter 3: Back to School
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Ding-dong! Shiori wiped her wet hands on her apron as she looked in the peek hole. She saw Mika standing there looking toward the garden. Finishing drying her hands, Shiori opened the door with a bright smile on her face. "Good morning, Mika. You came just in time for breakfast." Mika said her greetings as she slipped off her school shoes. Mika's school uniform was a white, ruffled shirt with an aqua, green skirt that went right above her knees. The skirt had straps that were laid on her shoulders under the collar. Mika set her school bag neatly next to her shoes as she entered the living room.
Kurama was reading at the table while the food was being placed on the table. Mika noticed that Kurama didn't notice her come in, so she decided to have a little fun. As Shuuichi came into the living room, Mika made the 'shush' sign as she made her way behind Kurama. Shuuichi was trying hard not laugh as Mika raised her arms in a menacing way. She took a deep breath and screamed, "GOOD MORNING, SHUUICHI!" Shuuichi exploded as he saw his elder brother jump 4 feet in the air and land on his head. While Kurama was twitching, Mika was laughing as well while holding her stomach. Kurama rubbed his nose as he sat up.
"Next time I'll just eat breakfast without you," he said as he glared at Mika. Mika and Shuuichi finally stopped cracking up as they joined Kurama at the table.
"Sorry 'bout that, Shuuichi. But it was such a great opportunity I couldn't help it!"
Kurama stuck out his tongue as he said, "Yeah. Yeah. You better watch your back. Trust me, I'll get you back."
Mika stuck her tongue back, "I'll be waiting!" At the same time, she and Kurama each got their bowls and started to eat their rice.
In the middle of chewing, Shuuichi asked, "Where's Kenji?"
Mika took a sip of her Miso Soup, "He had to go to the school an hour early for band practice."
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
"Mika!" a chubby, high school girl cried as she and a quite well- built boy ran toward Mika and Shuuichi.
"Good morning, Eimei, Asurito," Kurama greeted politely. Asurito looked excited to see him.
~*Flashback*~
A 5th grade Eimei sighed as, once again, she wasn't picked for kick ball. As she started to walk away, she heard a plain, "I quit." She turned around as she saw a small Mika with her arms crossed. "If she can't play, then I won't play."
"Oh, c'mon!" a scrawny Asurito complained, "If you quit, then we'll have an uneven team."
"You guys can survive," she said as she walked away toward Eimei.
"Fine then. See if I care! C'mon Shuui- SHUUICHI!" his eyes bugged out as he saw Shuuichi join Mika and Eimei.
"She does have a point Asurito. If Eimei can't play, and Mika's quitting, then I won't play either." Mika smile at Shuuichi as he approached Eimei and her.
"Grr.... Fine! Eimei can be on my team! But you guys have to come back and play."
Smiling at Eimei, Mika said, "Shall we?" Eimei nodded happily as all three of them ran back to join Asurito. Asurito sighed, regretting what he just said.
~*End Flashback*~
That was how all of them met. Of course, Asurito and Eimei weren't real good friends 'til the 7th grade. While Kurama was gone, Mika hung out with them, but she still felt sad when Kurama wasn't there.
"Hey, Shuuichi your back!" Asurito exclaimed. "What's up?" As Asurito and Kurama were chatting Eimei approached Mika cautiously.
"H-hey, Mika. A-are y-you alright now?" she asked hesitantly while fiddling with her glasses. Again, Mika's eyes looked hurt at first, but then she put on her big, FAKE smile on again.
"I'm fine Eimei! You worry too much!"
Eimei flinched (a/n: Just like Shuuichi!) as she said, "O-o.k..." She quickly interrupted Kurama and Asurito's conversation as she asked, "Uh..... Is Mika alright?" she asked as she pointed to Mika. Standing there dumbly while still smiling, Mika hadn't realized that Eimei wasn't in front of her right now. Asurito and Kurama sweat dropped as they watched Mika strangle a guy who "accidentally" mentioned Dr. Tofu's name.
"Geez. She's still depressed. Well, I guess none of us can be surprised," Asurito said as all of them sighed the same time when Mika started to cry rivers. And yes, she was still strangling the guy while doing it.
"Is there something wrong?" Mika heard a young man ask. She blushed as she came face to face with possibly the hottest guy she's ever seen. He was tall, and muscular, and hot, and oh, did I mention hot? His hair was as short as Kurama's (before he cut it.) (a/n: What happened to Dr. Tofu? Lol.)
Eimei drooled as she said, "Hello, hottie. He must be the new kid our teacher told us about." While Eimei drooled some more, Asurito started to snicker.
"Maybe if you knocked a few pounds off you MAY be able to go steady with him." Thanks to Asurito's big mouth, Eimei was now beating him up to a bloody pulp with her school bag. Kurama didn't pay any mind to them though. For some weird reason, he felt a twinge of jealousy while the new guy was flirting with Mika.
"My name's, Ashi. It's quite extraordinary to meet you, Ms. Ito. I've seen one of your concerts on T.V., and I'm quite glad I got to meet you." Obviously flattered, Mika giggled some more as Eimei and Asurito joined Kurama's staring.
"Those two are really hitting it off. Looks like Mika already forgot about Dr. Tofu," Eimei commented.
"Yeah. Seems like she dropped him like a sack of potatoes," Asurito commented afterwards.
Whatever took over Kurama, he suddenly gave them a death glare after their remarks. "Is that so?" he asked coldly. Eimei and Asurito backed away from Kurama. What was wrong with him? He never acted that way before. Kurama didn't even know the answer himself. He was trying hard not to go over and grab Mika away from him.
"Hey now, THAT'S what I call hot," Asurito gawked as Kurama looked to his right and saw a girl with long, wavy brown hair looking Kurama straight in the eye with seductive eyes.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
It was Yumi Kisaku's first day at Meiou High School along with her elder brother. She had long, brown, wavy hair that went down to her waist. Her eyes were long, and narrow like a foxes. As soon as she entered the school, she saw a group of girls that she new would be her new "groupies". They looked as sly and deceiving as her, so what the heck? As she approached them, they immediately stopped their conversation.
"I'm Yumi Kisaku. This is my first day here," she said simply as she stared them in the eye.
One of the girls approached her and said, "It's very nice to meet you, Yumi." They shook hands and it was already obvious that Yumi had joined their group because of her gorgeous looks. To everyone, they were known as the "popular" group. They always had their way with everyone. Well, everyone except Mika and her friends. Asurito would sometimes fall for their dirty tricks, but the other three knew better.
While the other girls continued with their conversation, Yumi was looking around the school for a hot guy.
'Hm....Too geeky. Too muscular.' She took a look at Asurito, who was still gawking, and sweat-dropped. 'Too wea- Oh! What do we have here?' she asked herself as she spotted Kurama staring at a distance. She interrupted the conversation and asked, "Who's that hot guy with the red hair? The one next to the fat chick and the drooling jock."
"Him? His name is Shuuichi Minamino. Look. Don't think you're anything special. Almost all the girls in this school, including us, have tried to get together with him, but have failed miserably. We think it's because of his American," she said coldly, "friend, Mika Ito, he hangs around with all the time. They've been inseparable since pre-school. Most of us have pretty much given up and count the days 'till their wedding. Sigh..."
"You mean THAT girl and him are together?" she asked disgustingly.
"No. Well, not yet. It seems kinda obvious they'd get together, don't ya thi-" Yumi stormed toward Kurama's direction before the girl could finish her sentence.
'Whoever this Mika Ito person is, she can't be better than me. Don't worry my dear, Shuuichi, I'll save you from such a horrid girl!' she proclaimed in her head.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Kurama stared at the girl who was now in front of him, staring him down. She raised her hand out toward him as she said, "I'm Yumi Kisaku. It's very nice to meet you...?"
"It's Shuuichi," he took her hand, "it's nice to meet you, too." While Yumi was asking about Saturday night, for some weird reason, Kurama felt dizzy. Eimei and Asurito noticed this, too. There was a strong perfume in the air, not doubt Yumi's. Because of Kurama's sensitive nose, he felt like he could pass out any minute. Eimei and Asurito decided to come to the rescue.
"Uh...W-we're so sorry Yumi but-" Eimei started.
"-Shuuichi's needs to uh...talk to our Japanese teacher. Yeah that's it!" he finished.
"So uh...bye!" they said at the same time and stormed off toward the school. But they grabbed Mika, first of course. Yumi just glared at them. How dare they. They were all in the way of her and Shuuichi's "hidden-love-for-each-other."
'I vow to this day, Shuuichi. Please wait for me!' she again vowed in her head as little flames formed in her eyes.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Ashi sweatdropped as Mika was suddenly dragged by a chubby girl and an athletic jock along with a red-haired kid. 'Sigh....Oh well. It was nice as it lasted.' He remembered, while talking to Mika, that the red- haired guy was glaring at him. Ashi was actually pretty creeped out by the guy. When Ashi just took a glance at him, he swore that he saw Yoko Kurama, a demon fox thief he read in Japanese mythology. 'What's up with him?'
Yumi approached Ashi angrily as she pouted in front of him. "Did you see what just happened?!" she complained to him, "Those two took away MY Shuuichi! How dare they!" Ashi sighed as his sister started to talk about how perfect she and Shuuichi would be for each other. She then said something he could only smirk at. "So big brother. Seems your reeling in another fish as well?" Ashi made a smile that would scare the living daylights out of anyone.
Little did the students of Meiou High know that Yumi and her twin brother Ashi were known as the "Devil Kisaku's". Yumi would always lead a guy on and get into a very serious relationship with them. She'd then drop them as soon as she spotted a hot guy she wanted to score with. Ashi, however, was even worse. He, too, would play girls along, but he would pressure girls into...well, you figure it out. Let's just say he isn't exactly a virgin. When the girl would come crying back to him if they were pregnant, he'd just tell them "Fuck off" and go find a new girl.
"Hey, brother, I have an idea. I want Shuuichi, and you want Mika, correct? How about this. We PERMANENTLY split those two apart, and we'll both be happy. But first, we have to make sure that they totally fall for us. Let's start today, alright?" Yumi asked for clarification.
"There's one problem, my dear sister. What do we do about the geeky, fat-ass chick and the dumb-ass, jock?"
"Oh, I have an idea brother. You'll see very soon. Don't worry," she finished slyly.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
~*Japanese*~
Asurito groaned as the class got their tests back. As usual, he failed, while Mika got, yet again, another B. Eimei and Kurama, obviously, both got A's. While the teacher was writing some notes on the blackboard, he wrote a note and passed it on to Kurama.
Asurito: You lucky bastard. Why the hell do you always get A's?
Kurama: Maybe because I actually STUDY. Have you ever heard of that word?
Asurito: Ha ha. Very funny. You expect us jocks to compete with you geeks like you and Eimei? I think not. You two are always top in the school, while we look like nothing.
Kurama: Well look at it this way. At least you're the top athlete in school.
Asurito: :-D Hell yeah. I can just imagine us. We all move with Mika back to America while she becomes the next pop sensation, I become the next Kobe Bryant, Eimei discovers the cure for cancer, and you'll discover all the unknown plants in the freakin' universe.
Kurama: Sounds like a nice plan to me. My mother says it's alright for me to go to America. What about your parents? Are they cool?
Asurito: My parents said it's alright. They said once I get into the WNBA, then they expect me to visit them.
Kurama: Isn't it NBA?
Asurito: Who said?
Kurama: Doesn't WNBA stand for WOMEN'S National Basketball Association?
Asurito: .
Kurama: HA HA! :-D
Asurito: Oh, shut up! :(
Kurama: hehe. :) Anyway, do you know what Eimei's parents say?
Asurito: *sigh* Her parents won't let her go.
Kurama: What? Why not?
Asurito: They said quote, "We don't want our baby girl to grow up to be one of those troubled American teenagers." They stereo-type them too much even though they've already met Mika.
Kurama: :( I hope she can come. If not, I'm sure we can figure something out.
Asurito: Yeah me, too.
Kurama: Yep.
Asurito: Hey, Shuuichi?
Kurama: Yes?
Asurito: What the hell was up with you when Mika was flirting with that guy?
Asurito looked over to Kurama as Kurama read the note. Kurama's face seemed to go a tad-bit red when he read it.
Kurama: N-nothing.
Asurito: *smirk* I saw you blushing. Do you like her or something?
Kurama's face was now completely red.
Kurama: Well. I don't know to be honest. I usually don't act like that around Mika...
Asurito: I knew it man. You're starting to fall for her.
Kurama: H-how would you know?
Asurito: Dude, you've too been inseparable since forever. You guys were the best of friends by the time Eimei and I met you, two. Besides, everyone in this whole school thinks you two will eventually get together.
Kurama: .Says who?
Asurito: Like I said. EVERYONE. Haven't you noticed that all the girls, well except for that Yumi girl, pretty much have stopped bugging you about going out with them? Btw, that Yumi girl was dead HOT.
Kurama: Go get 'em tiger.
Asurito: What? You don't think she is?
Kurama: I dunno. I didn't react like you did, Asurito.
Asurito: :) Hehehe. How sweet. Wittle Shuuichi is staywing woyal to his giwlfwiend.
Kurama: No wonder why you're failing Japanese.
Asurito: :O It's baby talk, genius!
Kurama: :-D
Asurito: You're a lost cause man.
When Kurama was about to reply, the teacher cleared his throat. "Is there something you and Mr. Kamiya would like to share with the class?" he asked as he eyed the note. Kurama and Asurito gulped as they shook their heads. When the teacher turned around, they heard Eimei and Mika snicker at them. They stuck their tongues out at them like a little kid, and the bell rang.
~*On their way to their lockers*~
"Don't worry, Mika, a B's good," Eimei comforted. Mika only sighed sadly again.
"I always get B's. I have a STRAIGHT B average in all of my classes except for English and Music."
"Well obviously Music. English I'm surprised. With all the slang you teach to the class, I'm surprised Ms. Takihara hasn't made you quit the class," Asurito commented.
"Very true," Kurama agreed nodding his head. Mika playfully punched the both of them in the arm as she put the combination in her locker.
"Ha, ha, ha."
~*Japanese History*~
Kurama went with Eimei to their next class, Japanese History. Asurito and Mika decided to take World History, so they weren't in the same class. Kurama and Emei took a seat next to each other in the back and waited for the bell. After the bell rang, however, they saw Yumi enter the classroom. "O.k. calm down class," Ms. Zasuke started, "We have a new student in this class. Her names is Kisaku Yumi. It'd be GREATLY appreciated if we could have someone to fill her in on what's been going on lately."
Right away, the whole class, except for Eimei and Kurama, shot their hands up in the air. The teacher was rubbing his chin with his finger as he searched the sea of faces that have generously volunteered. He noticed Eimei and Kurama, so he decided to choose one of them. "Hm...Mr. Minamino. Why don't YOU help Ms. Kisaku out. Alright, now that we have that cleared up, turn your books to page 67. Blah, blah, blah, blah...."
Yumi was now thanking the gods. 'This was faited to happen.' As she sat next to Kurama, she wasn't really listening to him.
~*Daydream*~
Yumi was happily married to Kurama. As they walked down the stairs to the church, Mika, dressed in old raggedy clothes, came crying to them and was hugging Kurama's leg. He simply kicked Mika away as he stole another kiss from Yumi. (a/n: YUCK!)
~*End Daydream*~
Yumi sighed, and she still was oblivious to the fact that Kurama was trying the best he could to hold his breath as long as he could. Eimei then tapped Kurama on the shoulder and whispered that they could switch seats. Greatly accepting Eimei's offer, they quietly exchanged seats. Yumi still didn't notice. This is Eimei's face: -.-
~*World History*~
"Class, even though this is WORLD History, I've decided we could study Japanese myths just for fun. When I call your name, please come up and get your books." Asurito was asleep while Mika was secretly listening to her new Now 14 CD. When the teacher called her name, she wasn't listening and she was doing a little dance as she listened to "Right Thurr."
"Ms. Ito?" Silence. "Ms. ITO?" Silence. "MS. ITO!" It somehow processed through Mika's brain that the teacher was yelling at her, and immediately she fell off her seat. This is the classes face: -.-;
"Ms. Ito. What are you doing THIS time."
"I'm uh...I'm increasing my expanded intelligence on my love for the art of music?" Stare.
"O.k. Come and get your book, then." The class: Anime fall.
"C-coming," Mika was jumping up and down in her mind. 'Thank god Mr. Takani is so dense.' Mika got her book as she spotted Asurito, giving her a 'can't-believe-you-got-away-this-time-look-but-of-course-our-teacher-is- too-dense-so-there's-no-complaining' look. Mika just grinned mischievously as she sat back down in her seat. While everyone else were receiving her books, she decided to scan through it.
'Inu-Yasha...Shikon Jewel...Demons....Yoko Kurama, Hm? Hey... Come to think of it, this demon looks a lot like Shuuichi....' Mika questioned her self as she twisted her head this way and that as well as the book. For some weird reason, she kept getting this weird feeling she knew the demon thief. 'Naw, it's impossible. Oi, Mika! Note the word MYTH. None of this is true. Sigh... This Yoko guy though is hella hot though. ^^'
~*P.E.*~
Shuuichi and the others were all in the same P.E. class. They were assigned to role numbers, but they always sat in Shuuichi's spot. (Just because he refuses to leave his spot so he doesn't loose points for his perfect grade. ^^;;) "Hey, did you guys here about this Friday at Water Lilly (a/n: gay name, I know. Bare with me.) Dance Club?" Eimei asked the group.
Mika got excited and had stars in her eyes, "Is there a dance this Friday?!"
Eimei smiled back happily as she said, "Yep! We have to bring some of your American CD's! Bring your Chingey CD! Oh! And bring BEYONCE."
"YES, YES!" Kurama and Asurito: o_0. Everytime there was a dance, Mika and Eimei get all excited. Even though it doesn't look like it, Eimei can pop dance. Mika taught her when she took classes in America.
While Mika and Eimei were in their little dream world, Asurito started to complain to Kurama. "Not again! Damn, Shuuichi. Those two are so obsessed. But anyway, you coming right? You missed like what, the last 16 dances. You gotta come to this one. They totally redid the place man!"
"Oh? How so?"
"THEY OFFER GLOW-IN THE DARK NEON PAINT NOW! NEON PAINT DRUMS BABY! It was SO fun last time the three of us went. We were totally covered in paint. And then afterwards, we scared my neighbors."
"^^;;; Sure. I'll come." Kurama doesn't look the type to go to dance clubs, but he always had a blast with his friends. Yes, he did occasionally dance. (a/n: I know all of the Kurama fans are having VERY dirty minds imaging Kurama in a dance club. All I can say is, CALM DOWN. STOP DROOLING!) Besides dancing, they'd usually just cause some mischief around the place. Bring water balloons, "accidentally" get one of their classmates drunk, etc. And yes, they are ALL and ALWAYS Mika's idea. Kurama knew it was wrong, but it was actually pretty fun. He couldn't wait.
~*English*~
Since the group wanted to move to America, they took English. Mika was in the class too, for the heck of it. "Alright class," the teacher said dully. "Turn to page-" The teachers boyfriend then came by with a bouquet.
"Lucy" I'm home!"
"Satoshi!" The teacher then when in a major lip-lock and the class looked at them with disgust. No one wanted to see that. Luckily, they took it OUTSIDE of the class, so on que, everyone started talking. Eimei smiled at Mika, and Mika smile back. Asurito and Kurama looked as Mika took out her Hello Kitty stereo (a/n: How did she fit that in her school bag? Doesn't matter people. This is anime we're talking about here.) and her CD case.
"Hmm...Oh! You brought your Good Charlotte CD!" Eimei cried happily.
"Yep! Which song should we listen to?"
"The anthem, the anthem!"
"Oh no...." Kurama and Asurito sighed simultaneously. They knew what was coming. Mika and Eimei were going to put on their little "show" again. As usual, some of their classmates were already setting up a stage made out of their desks. They always did this when the teacher was with her boyfriend.
"I'm Benji!" Mika called.
"Not fair! Fine, then! I'm Joel!" Eimei cried. They then put the CD in the stereo and cranked it up. The pretended they were playing guitars and were jumping up and down on the desks. Kurama and Asurito were the only ones not paying attention.
"Got any 5's?" Asurito asked.
"Go fish," replied Kurama. Afterawhile, Mika and Eimei were almost to the end of the song.
"Shake it once that's fine, shake it twice that's o.k., shake it three times, you're playing with yourself, again!" Unexpectedly, the teacher entered the classroom with a dazed look and the class immediately went back to their seats. Except for Mika and Eimei of course.
"Ehem," she said annoyingly as she tapped her foot.
"Another Lose Anthem. Wo-oh! Another Loser Anthem! Wo-uh-oh," they said when they spotted their teacher, stopping their little dance.
"Off now! I'll see you two after class."

Hope you guys liked this chapter! ^^
Note: As you can see above, there are new characters added to this story: Yumi Kisaku, Ashi Kisaku, Eimei Hawasaki, and Asurito Kamiya. Yes, Yumi and Ashi are brother and sister. Yumi is just a random name I just used, but Kisaku means clever. Ashi has a meaning; it means evil (well the Kanji used anyway. Otherwise, it'd mean reed. Lol) Eimei means intelligent and Asurito means athletic. Their last names were random as well. Read the story if you want to know how they play into the story. By the way, I know Eimei's name seems hard for people that don't know Japanese, so here's how you pronounce it: eh-ee-may. Okies?

Chapter 3: Back to School
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Ding-dong! Shiori wiped her wet hands on her apron as she looked in the peek hole. She saw Mika standing there looking toward the garden. Finishing drying her hands, Shiori opened the door with a bright smile on her face. "Good morning, Mika. You came just in time for breakfast." Mika said her greetings as she slipped off her school shoes. Mika's school uniform was a white, ruffled shirt with an aqua, green skirt that went right above her knees. The skirt had straps that were laid on her shoulders under the collar. Mika set her school bag neatly next to her shoes as she entered the living room.
Kurama was reading at the table while the food was being placed on the table. Mika noticed that Kurama didn't notice her come in, so she decided to have a little fun. As Shuuichi came into the living room, Mika made the 'shush' sign as she made her way behind Kurama. Shuuichi was trying hard not laugh as Mika raised her arms in a menacing way. She took a deep breath and screamed, "GOOD MORNING, SHUUICHI!" Shuuichi exploded as he saw his elder brother jump 4 feet in the air and land on his head. While Kurama was twitching, Mika was laughing as well while holding her stomach. Kurama rubbed his nose as he sat up.
"Next time I'll just eat breakfast without you," he said as he glared at Mika. Mika and Shuuichi finally stopped cracking up as they joined Kurama at the table.
"Sorry 'bout that, Shuuichi. But it was such a great opportunity I couldn't help it!"
Kurama stuck out his tongue as he said, "Yeah. Yeah. You better watch your back. Trust me, I'll get you back."
Mika stuck her tongue back, "I'll be waiting!" At the same time, she and Kurama each got their bowls and started to eat their rice.
In the middle of chewing, Shuuichi asked, "Where's Kenji?"
Mika took a sip of her Miso Soup, "He had to go to the school an hour early for band practice."
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
"Mika!" a chubby, high school girl cried as she and a quite well- built boy ran toward Mika and Shuuichi.
"Good morning, Eimei, Asurito," Kurama greeted politely. Asurito looked excited to see him.
~*Flashback*~
A 5th grade Eimei sighed as, once again, she wasn't picked for kick ball. As she started to walk away, she heard a plain, "I quit." She turned around as she saw a small Mika with her arms crossed. "If she can't play, then I won't play."
"Oh, c'mon!" a scrawny Asurito complained, "If you quit, then we'll have an uneven team."
"You guys can survive," she said as she walked away toward Eimei.
"Fine then. See if I care! C'mon Shuui- SHUUICHI!" his eyes bugged out as he saw Shuuichi join Mika and Eimei.
"She does have a point Asurito. If Eimei can't play, and Mika's quitting, then I won't play either." Mika smile at Shuuichi as he approached Eimei and her.
"Grr.... Fine! Eimei can be on my team! But you guys have to come back and play."
Smiling at Eimei, Mika said, "Shall we?" Eimei nodded happily as all three of them ran back to join Asurito. Asurito sighed, regretting what he just said.
~*End Flashback*~
That was how all of them met. Of course, Asurito and Eimei weren't real good friends 'til the 7th grade. While Kurama was gone, Mika hung out with them, but she still felt sad when Kurama wasn't there.
"Hey, Shuuichi your back!" Asurito exclaimed. "What's up?" As Asurito and Kurama were chatting Eimei approached Mika cautiously.
"H-hey, Mika. A-are y-you alright now?" she asked hesitantly while fiddling with her glasses. Again, Mika's eyes looked hurt at first, but then she put on her big, FAKE smile on again.
"I'm fine Eimei! You worry too much!"
Eimei flinched (a/n: Just like Shuuichi!) as she said, "O-o.k..." She quickly interrupted Kurama and Asurito's conversation as she asked, "Uh..... Is Mika alright?" she asked as she pointed to Mika. Standing there dumbly while still smiling, Mika hadn't realized that Eimei wasn't in front of her right now. Asurito and Kurama sweat dropped as they watched Mika strangle a guy who "accidentally" mentioned Dr. Tofu's name.
"Geez. She's still depressed. Well, I guess none of us can be surprised," Asurito said as all of them sighed the same time when Mika started to cry rivers. And yes, she was still strangling the guy while doing it.
"Is there something wrong?" Mika heard a young man ask. She blushed as she came face to face with possibly the hottest guy she's ever seen. He was tall, and muscular, and hot, and oh, did I mention hot? His hair was as short as Kurama's (before he cut it.) (a/n: What happened to Dr. Tofu? Lol.)
Eimei drooled as she said, "Hello, hottie. He must be the new kid our teacher told us about." While Eimei drooled some more, Asurito started to snicker.
"Maybe if you knocked a few pounds off you MAY be able to go steady with him." Thanks to Asurito's big mouth, Eimei was now beating him up to a bloody pulp with her school bag. Kurama didn't pay any mind to them though. For some weird reason, he felt a twinge of jealousy while the new guy was flirting with Mika.
"My name's, Ashi. It's quite extraordinary to meet you, Ms. Ito. I've seen one of your concerts on T.V., and I'm quite glad I got to meet you." Obviously flattered, Mika giggled some more as Eimei and Asurito joined Kurama's staring.
"Those two are really hitting it off. Looks like Mika already forgot about Dr. Tofu," Eimei commented.
"Yeah. Seems like she dropped him like a sack of potatoes," Asurito commented afterwards.
Whatever took over Kurama, he suddenly gave them a death glare after their remarks. "Is that so?" he asked coldly. Eimei and Asurito backed away from Kurama. What was wrong with him? He never acted that way before. Kurama didn't even know the answer himself. He was trying hard not to go over and grab Mika away from him.
"Hey now, THAT'S what I call hot," Asurito gawked as Kurama looked to his right and saw a girl with long, wavy brown hair looking Kurama straight in the eye with seductive eyes.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
It was Yumi Kisaku's first day at Meiou High School along with her elder brother. She had long, brown, wavy hair that went down to her waist. Her eyes were long, and narrow like a foxes. As soon as she entered the school, she saw a group of girls that she new would be her new "groupies". They looked as sly and deceiving as her, so what the heck? As she approached them, they immediately stopped their conversation.
"I'm Yumi Kisaku. This is my first day here," she said simply as she stared them in the eye.
One of the girls approached her and said, "It's very nice to meet you, Yumi." They shook hands and it was already obvious that Yumi had joined their group because of her gorgeous looks. To everyone, they were known as the "popular" group. They always had their way with everyone. Well, everyone except Mika and her friends. Asurito would sometimes fall for their dirty tricks, but the other three knew better.
While the other girls continued with their conversation, Yumi was looking around the school for a hot guy.
'Hm....Too geeky. Too muscular.' She took a look at Asurito, who was still gawking, and sweat-dropped. 'Too wea- Oh! What do we have here?' she asked herself as she spotted Kurama staring at a distance. She interrupted the conversation and asked, "Who's that hot guy with the red hair? The one next to the fat chick and the drooling jock."
"Him? His name is Shuuichi Minamino. Look. Don't think you're anything special. Almost all the girls in this school, including us, have tried to get together with him, but have failed miserably. We think it's because of his American," she said coldly, "friend, Mika Ito, he hangs around with all the time. They've been inseparable since pre-school. Most of us have pretty much given up and count the days 'till their wedding. Sigh..."
"You mean THAT girl and him are together?" she asked disgustingly.
"No. Well, not yet. It seems kinda obvious they'd get together, don't ya thi-" Yumi stormed toward Kurama's direction before the girl could finish her sentence.
'Whoever this Mika Ito person is, she can't be better than me. Don't worry my dear, Shuuichi, I'll save you from such a horrid girl!' she proclaimed in her head.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Kurama stared at the girl who was now in front of him, staring him down. She raised her hand out toward him as she said, "I'm Yumi Kisaku. It's very nice to meet you...?"
"It's Shuuichi," he took her hand, "it's nice to meet you, too." While Yumi was asking about Saturday night, for some weird reason, Kurama felt dizzy. Eimei and Asurito noticed this, too. There was a strong perfume in the air, not doubt Yumi's. Because of Kurama's sensitive nose, he felt like he could pass out any minute. Eimei and Asurito decided to come to the rescue.
"Uh...W-we're so sorry Yumi but-" Eimei started.
"-Shuuichi's needs to uh...talk to our Japanese teacher. Yeah that's it!" he finished.
"So uh...bye!" they said at the same time and stormed off toward the school. But they grabbed Mika, first of course. Yumi just glared at them. How dare they. They were all in the way of her and Shuuichi's "hidden-love-for-each-other."
'I vow to this day, Shuuichi. Please wait for me!' she again vowed in her head as little flames formed in her eyes.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Ashi sweatdropped as Mika was suddenly dragged by a chubby girl and an athletic jock along with a red-haired kid. 'Sigh....Oh well. It was nice as it lasted.' He remembered, while talking to Mika, that the red- haired guy was glaring at him. Ashi was actually pretty creeped out by the guy. When Ashi just took a glance at him, he swore that he saw Yoko Kurama, a demon fox thief he read in Japanese mythology. 'What's up with him?'
Yumi approached Ashi angrily as she pouted in front of him. "Did you see what just happened?!" she complained to him, "Those two took away MY Shuuichi! How dare they!" Ashi sighed as his sister started to talk about how perfect she and Shuuichi would be for each other. She then said something he could only smirk at. "So big brother. Seems your reeling in another fish as well?" Ashi made a smile that would scare the living daylights out of anyone.
Little did the students of Meiou High know that Yumi and her twin brother Ashi were known as the "Devil Kisaku's". Yumi would always lead a guy on and get into a very serious relationship with them. She'd then drop them as soon as she spotted a hot guy she wanted to score with. Ashi, however, was even worse. He, too, would play girls along, but he would pressure girls into...well, you figure it out. Let's just say he isn't exactly a virgin. When the girl would come crying back to him if they were pregnant, he'd just tell them "Fuck off" and go find a new girl.
"Hey, brother, I have an idea. I want Shuuichi, and you want Mika, correct? How about this. We PERMANENTLY split those two apart, and we'll both be happy. But first, we have to make sure that they totally fall for us. Let's start today, alright?" Yumi asked for clarification.
"There's one problem, my dear sister. What do we do about the geeky, fat-ass chick and the dumb-ass, jock?"
"Oh, I have an idea brother. You'll see very soon. Don't worry," she finished slyly.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
~*Japanese*~
Asurito groaned as the class got their tests back. As usual, he failed, while Mika got, yet again, another B. Eimei and Kurama, obviously, both got A's. While the teacher was writing some notes on the blackboard, he wrote a note and passed it on to Kurama.
Asurito: You lucky bastard. Why the hell do you always get A's?
Kurama: Maybe because I actually STUDY. Have you ever heard of that word?
Asurito: Ha ha. Very funny. You expect us jocks to compete with you geeks like you and Eimei? I think not. You two are always top in the school, while we look like nothing.
Kurama: Well look at it this way. At least you're the top athlete in school.
Asurito: :-D Hell yeah. I can just imagine us. We all move with Mika back to America while she becomes the next pop sensation, I become the next Kobe Bryant, Eimei discovers the cure for cancer, and you'll discover all the unknown plants in the freakin' universe.
Kurama: Sounds like a nice plan to me. My mother says it's alright for me to go to America. What about your parents? Are they cool?
Asurito: My parents said it's alright. They said once I get into the WNBA, then they expect me to visit them.
Kurama: Isn't it NBA?
Asurito: Who said?
Kurama: Doesn't WNBA stand for WOMEN'S National Basketball Association?
Asurito: .
Kurama: HA HA! :-D
Asurito: Oh, shut up! :(
Kurama: hehe. :) Anyway, do you know what Eimei's parents say?
Asurito: *sigh* Her parents won't let her go.
Kurama: What? Why not?
Asurito: They said quote, "We don't want our baby girl to grow up to be one of those troubled American teenagers." They stereo-type them too much even though they've already met Mika.
Kurama: :( I hope she can come. If not, I'm sure we can figure something out.
Asurito: Yeah me, too.
Kurama: Yep.
Asurito: Hey, Shuuichi?
Kurama: Yes?
Asurito: What the hell was up with you when Mika was flirting with that guy?
Asurito looked over to Kurama as Kurama read the note. Kurama's face seemed to go a tad-bit red when he read it.
Kurama: N-nothing.
Asurito: *smirk* I saw you blushing. Do you like her or something?
Kurama's face was now completely red.
Kurama: Well. I don't know to be honest. I usually don't act like that around Mika...
Asurito: I knew it man. You're starting to fall for her.
Kurama: H-how would you know?
Asurito: Dude, you've too been inseparable since forever. You guys were the best of friends by the time Eimei and I met you, two. Besides, everyone in this whole school thinks you two will eventually get together.
Kurama: .Says who?
Asurito: Like I said. EVERYONE. Haven't you noticed that all the girls, well except for that Yumi girl, pretty much have stopped bugging you about going out with them? Btw, that Yumi girl was dead HOT.
Kurama: Go get 'em tiger.
Asurito: What? You don't think she is?
Kurama: I dunno. I didn't react like you did, Asurito.
Asurito: :) Hehehe. How sweet. Wittle Shuuichi is staywing woyal to his giwlfwiend.
Kurama: No wonder why you're failing Japanese.
Asurito: :O It's baby talk, genius!
Kurama: :-D
Asurito: You're a lost cause man.
When Kurama was about to reply, the teacher cleared his throat. "Is there something you and Mr. Kamiya would like to share with the class?" he asked as he eyed the note. Kurama and Asurito gulped as they shook their heads. When the teacher turned around, they heard Eimei and Mika snicker at them. They stuck their tongues out at them like a little kid, and the bell rang.
~*On their way to their lockers*~
"Don't worry, Mika, a B's good," Eimei comforted. Mika only sighed sadly again.
"I always get B's. I have a STRAIGHT B average in all of my classes except for English and Music."
"Well obviously Music. English I'm surprised. With all the slang you teach to the class, I'm surprised Ms. Takihara hasn't made you quit the class," Asurito commented.
"Very true," Kurama agreed nodding his head. Mika playfully punched the both of them in the arm as she put the combination in her locker.
"Ha, ha, ha."
~*Japanese History*~
Kurama went with Eimei to their next class, Japanese History. Asurito and Mika decided to take World History, so they weren't in the same class. Kurama and Emei took a seat next to each other in the back and waited for the bell. After the bell rang, however, they saw Yumi enter the classroom. "O.k. calm down class," Ms. Zasuke started, "We have a new student in this class. Her names is Kisaku Yumi. It'd be GREATLY appreciated if we could have someone to fill her in on what's been going on lately."
Right away, the whole class, except for Eimei and Kurama, shot their hands up in the air. The teacher was rubbing his chin with his finger as he searched the sea of faces that have generously volunteered. He noticed Eimei and Kurama, so he decided to choose one of them. "Hm...Mr. Minamino. Why don't YOU help Ms. Kisaku out. Alright, now that we have that cleared up, turn your books to page 67. Blah, blah, blah, blah...."
Yumi was now thanking the gods. 'This was faited to happen.' As she sat next to Kurama, she wasn't really listening to him.
~*Daydream*~
Yumi was happily married to Kurama. As they walked down the stairs to the church, Mika, dressed in old raggedy clothes, came crying to them and was hugging Kurama's leg. He simply kicked Mika away as he stole another kiss from Yumi. (a/n: YUCK!)
~*End Daydream*~
Yumi sighed, and she still was oblivious to the fact that Kurama was trying the best he could to hold his breath as long as he could. Eimei then tapped Kurama on the shoulder and whispered that they could switch seats. Greatly accepting Eimei's offer, they quietly exchanged seats. Yumi still didn't notice. This is Eimei's face: -.-
~*World History*~
"Class, even though this is WORLD History, I've decided we could study Japanese myths just for fun. When I call your name, please come up and get your books." Asurito was asleep while Mika was secretly listening to her new Now 14 CD. When the teacher called her name, she wasn't listening and she was doing a little dance as she listened to "Right Thurr."
"Ms. Ito?" Silence. "Ms. ITO?" Silence. "MS. ITO!" It somehow processed through Mika's brain that the teacher was yelling at her, and immediately she fell off her seat. This is the classes face: -.-;
"Ms. Ito. What are you doing THIS time."
"I'm uh...I'm increasing my expanded intelligence on my love for the art of music?" Stare.
"O.k. Come and get your book, then." The class: Anime fall.
"C-coming," Mika was jumping up and down in her mind. 'Thank god Mr. Takani is so dense.' Mika got her book as she spotted Asurito, giving her a 'can't-believe-you-got-away-this-time-look-but-of-course-our-teacher-is- too-dense-so-there's-no-complaining' look. Mika just grinned mischievously as she sat back down in her seat. While everyone else were receiving her books, she decided to scan through it.
'Inu-Yasha...Shikon Jewel...Demons....Yoko Kurama, Hm? Hey... Come to think of it, this demon looks a lot like Shuuichi....' Mika questioned her self as she twisted her head this way and that as well as the book. For some weird reason, she kept getting this weird feeling she knew the demon thief. 'Naw, it's impossible. Oi, Mika! Note the word MYTH. None of this is true. Sigh... This Yoko guy though is hella hot though. ^^'
~*P.E.*~
Shuuichi and the others were all in the same P.E. class. They were assigned to role numbers, but they always sat in Shuuichi's spot. (Just because he refuses to leave his spot so he doesn't loose points for his perfect grade. ^^;;) "Hey, did you guys here about this Friday at Water Lilly (a/n: gay name, I know. Bare with me.) Dance Club?" Eimei asked the group.
Mika got excited and had stars in her eyes, "Is there a dance this Friday?!"
Eimei smiled back happily as she said, "Yep! We have to bring some of your American CD's! Bring your Chingey CD! Oh! And bring BEYONCE."
"YES, YES!" Kurama and Asurito: o_0. Everytime there was a dance, Mika and Eimei get all excited. Even though it doesn't look like it, Eimei can pop dance. Mika taught her when she took classes in America.
While Mika and Eimei were in their little dream world, Asurito started to complain to Kurama. "Not again! Damn, Shuuichi. Those two are so obsessed. But anyway, you coming right? You missed like what, the last 16 dances. You gotta come to this one. They totally redid the place man!"
"Oh? How so?"
"THEY OFFER GLOW-IN THE DARK NEON PAINT NOW! NEON PAINT DRUMS BABY! It was SO fun last time the three of us went. We were totally covered in paint. And then afterwards, we scared my neighbors."
"^^;;; Sure. I'll come." Kurama doesn't look the type to go to dance clubs, but he always had a blast with his friends. Yes, he did occasionally dance. (a/n: I know all of the Kurama fans are having VERY dirty minds imaging Kurama in a dance club. All I can say is, CALM DOWN. STOP DROOLING!) Besides dancing, they'd usually just cause some mischief around the place. Bring water balloons, "accidentally" get one of their classmates drunk, etc. And yes, they are ALL and ALWAYS Mika's idea. Kurama knew it was wrong, but it was actually pretty fun. He couldn't wait.
~*English*~
Since the group wanted to move to America, they took English. Mika was in the class too, for the heck of it. "Alright class," the teacher said dully. "Turn to page-" The teachers boyfriend then came by with a bouquet.
"Lucy" I'm home!"
"Satoshi!" The teacher then when in a major lip-lock and the class looked at them with disgust. No one wanted to see that. Luckily, they took it OUTSIDE of the class, so on que, everyone started talking. Eimei smiled at Mika, and Mika smile back. Asurito and Kurama looked as Mika took out her Hello Kitty stereo (a/n: How did she fit that in her school bag? Doesn't matter people. This is anime we're talking about here.) and her CD case.
"Hmm...Oh! You brought your Good Charlotte CD!" Eimei cried happily.
"Yep! Which song should we listen to?"
"The anthem, the anthem!"
"Oh no...." Kurama and Asurito sighed simultaneously. They knew what was coming. Mika and Eimei were going to put on their little "show" again. As usual, some of their classmates were already setting up a stage made out of their desks. They always did this when the teacher was with her boyfriend.
"I'm Benji!" Mika called.
"Not fair! Fine, then! I'm Joel!" Eimei cried. They then put the CD in the stereo and cranked it up. The pretended they were playing guitars and were jumping up and down on the desks. Kurama and Asurito were the only ones not paying attention.
"Got any 5's?" Asurito asked.
"Go fish," replied Kurama. Afterawhile, Mika and Eimei were almost to the end of the song.
"Shake it once that's fine, shake it twice that's o.k., shake it three times, you're playing with yourself, again!" Unexpectedly, the teacher entered the classroom with a dazed look and the class immediately went back to their seats. Except for Mika and Eimei of course.
"Ehem," she said annoyingly as she tapped her foot.
"Another Lose Anthem. Wo-oh! Another Loser Anthem! Wo-uh-oh," they said when they spotted their teacher, stopping their little dance.
"Off now! I'll see you two after class."
