New York City Ally
Yusuke, Hiei, Kurama, and Kurabara, who had couple of welts on his head, walk out into an ally. There was no one around except an old beggar. The poor guy looked like he had a heart attack when the four boys stepped out of thin air. He fainted dead away into a puddle. "Um Yurumeshi," Kurabara pointed to the unconscious man "do ya think we should help him?"
"No it will be better if he woke up on his on terms, then he would probable just think it was a dream," answered Kurama.
"Yeah, Kurama's right, anyway we have to get to this apartment Koenma told us about."
"Hn, stupid human," was all that Hiei commented. Kurabara looked at where the man was, his countenance was still slightly concerned. But the others were already starting to leave. The four boys walked out on to the streets of New York City. They were in China town. Looking at the directions that George gave him, Kurama started walking up the street. Kurabara gazed up openly at the cities high skyscrapers, Yusuke also looked but not as openly. Kurama was also gazing, but at the people. The city's people were a lot different then the country or even town people of Japan he noted. Hiei just hunched his shoulders and mumbled incoherent thing, but if one looked closely enough he even was slightly impressed at the culture. See for all of their fighting skills and saving the world, who knows how many times, this was the first time that they were ever in a human city. Demon cities were like monorail states of the ancient human times. There was the controlling lord a fighting force the merchants and the towns people, then of course, the commoners or farmers. Here though, there was a mix, the rich walked among the poor. There was no huge gape between the mid-class and the rich as in the demon world, and everybody was moving. There was a sense, even in this overly populated human city, of a need to survive and a willingness to do anything to get it. Just like Maki Hiei admitted to himself. The four continued to enter deeper into the concrete jungle when Kurama stopped, "This is it," he said looking up at old brick apartment building.
"Where are we?" asked Kurabara.
"He actually has a point fox. WHERE are we?" Hiei looked accusingly at Kurama as if it where his fault that he was here.
"Where in Chelsea."
"And what is that supposed to mean to us Kurama?" Yusuke looked over to his friend.
"Were in the mid to upper part of the city, a middle class worker section."
"Yeah whatever, lets go," finished Yusuke. So that's what they did. They already had the key so the went upstairs. There room was on the 4th floor room 409. They were at the end of the hall. They pushed open the door to see that they were well furnished. There were two bedrooms and the living room could turn to two more. There was a curtain that ran down the middle of the room with two futon beds on either side. Kurabara went into the kitchen
"Hey guys, they even gave us food to last us three weeks."
"No," Hiei added with a smirk, "more like a day for you"
"Hey what that supposed to mean shortie," but Hiei was already gone making an inspection of the building.
Yusuke saw Kurama looking into an envelope and watch eyebrows rise. Throwing down his bag he walked over to the fox demon. "What is it?"
"They gave us ten thousand dollars."
"Is that a lot?"
Kurama nodded slowly, "Yeah,"
"Cool," Yusuke watch Kurama for a sec, "what else is bothering you?"
"Its just that never before we have been giving this much to work with."
"Ya? Think it is because of King Enma?" Kurabara asked with a mouth full of Snickers.
"Maybe, but I don't think so," continued Kurama.
"Maybe its to make up for this," Hiei threw down a letter that he found on his inspection of the apartment.
Yusuke picked it up, "You will be attending NYU until you will meet up with you accomplice. The class is a mythology class taught by Professor Zibnap (inside joke). Note that he is slightly senile. The class is at 8:00 tomorrow morning. Enjoy the sights and don't get shot. It is a lot of paper work to explain your abilities you know how it is. -__^

"Stupid toddler, if he thinks that there is anyway I'm going into a human building.."
________________________________________________________________________The Next Day Hiei looked in the classroom, stupid toddler. The classroom was set up with ten rows rising up in an Audi an like style with a walkway up the middle. Hiei sat in the farthest highest corner to the right. Kurabara sat in the eighth row in the middle on the left. Kurama sat in the second row on the right side and Yusuke was in the fifth row on the left one seat in from the walkway. Hiei found the class kind of interesting in what the humans found as what is truth or fact. The strange languages they find on the tablets was the demonic tongue, but they were so sure that demons didn't exist they dismissed so much. What fools. He continued to watch from his corner reading the demonic language on the bored. He was still trying to figure out how Kurama got him here when a human girl walked in her hand wrapped around an old book. Hiei was about to daze off again when she spoke. "Hello Professor,"
"Hello Artemis,"
She turned; the only seat that was open was next to Yusuke who was asleep. She was different though, she wasn't human he realized. Her voice was soft and smoky yet it held a regal tone. Her hair was steel gray and was in a strange tangled mess on top of her head. It seemed to be the fashion here. Her eyes were a light blue, yet they seemed out of place. It was like they hid a deep, dark, secretive history, she was a bit taller then Yusuke as well. She was, this Artemis, graceful but for the first time ever he had a feeling of someone who was used to people, everyone, to bow to her. Never mind her unfaltering beauty. It put Hiei into a defensive mode. In Makia the more beautiful the creature the more dangerous it is, and he had to admit again this human land was far too much like Makia for his liking. He shot a quick mental warning to Yusuke.
He started up looking around remembering where he was. Turning he gave the fire demon a death glare for disturbing his sleep when he saw Hiei nod. Turning around he saw what Hiei saw but also something else. He felt wildness in her as well, an old strength dormant, yet it felt so familiar. All of those thoughts stopped though when he realized that she was going to sit next to him. He raised his eyebrow as she took the seat. She placed the old book on the table. The teacher started to teach the class. "So," she said, "You're a transfer student. Japan right."
"Yeah, where are you from?" She looked up. "Your accent."
"Ah, yes, somewhere not from here."
"Good answer. How about here then." Yusuke pointed to the inscription on the cover of the book???????????
"You understand it?"
"Yeah"
"So do you, are you not a demon," Yusuke added hopefully to trip her up.
"Heh heh, your better than I was told Yurumeshi. Yes I am, like your friend down there I suppose." She pointed to Kurama. "This was far easer than I thought," The entire time her movements where very suggestive, did she think he was stupid.
"You know I won't fall for you tricks, none of us will."
"Well, that is good then, you past the test."
"Other wise,"
She went right up next to his ear and whispered, "Otherwise if you are posing for something your not spirit detective, I would have to kill you and your comrades. Ohhh, and I might as well tell you," her voice became very seductive; "wait till I turn it on, demon." How the hell she knew he didn't he couldn't tell, she placed a card in his hand as she went to leave. Show this and you won't get killed." Then she left as the bell rang, and for some reason he knew she wasn't kidding.
Okay ladies and gents not chappie there will be action I promise. ^___^
