Chapter 3: new mission
"Shuichi, Is everything alright?" asked the teacher. Usually the red-headed boy was completely alert and focused, but today he seemed to be zoning out. "Hmm, oh, may I be excused from class for a bit?" he asked. "Go, ahead," the teacher smiled. She knew he would be able to catch up with his class work. Shuichi got up and walked out. Everyone stared, no one had ever been excused from that class before. Especially not someone like Shuichi! He wandered the long halls for a moment coming out to the blacktop. He walked around to the field. Suddenly he saw Yusuke and Kuwabara running toward him. "Kurama! That you?" yelled Yusuke. "Yes Yusuke, it's me," he responded. "We were just coming to get you," said Yusuke who had now caught up to Kurama. "Yeah," said Kuwabara, finally catching up. "Koenma wants us. NOW!" "But, guys, I've got school. And what about mother?" complained Kurama. "He said it was urgent," stated Yusuke we need to go. "I knew you would be like this," said a voice. "Hello Hiei," said Kurama, not looking the least bit surprised. Hiei appeared next to him. "I've taken the liberty to come up with a plan. Kuwabara, you tell his mother he will be going with you after school. If she asks how you got out of class tell her you're having lunch, or something," continued Hiei. "Right," said Kuwabara, running off to do his task. "Why Kuwabara?" asked Yusuke. "To get rid of him," said Hiei. Kurama suppressed a smile. Yusuke laughed. "OK, Yusuke, you wait here. I'll get Kurama out of class. So how did you get out of there in the first place?" "Easy," said Kurama "The teacher trusts me, she knows I can catch up." "OK then I'll tell her what I meant to in the first place," Hiei decided. "And just what might that be?" asked Kurama. "I'll just say your mother needed your help with something. I'll even get your homework if you like," Hiei rolled his eyes (even the covered Jagon eye). "That's perfect," said Kurama, "Including the part about getting my homework," he continued to Hiei's despise. Hiei returned just minutes after leaving with a purple bag. "Now where's that nitwit?" he asked. "Right there," said Yusuke pointing to a small bobbing orange and blue shape. Kurama moved off into the shadow of the trees. Hiei followed, but Yusuke stayed waiting for Kuwabara. Finally he got there, "Alright," said Yusuke, "Lets go!"
