Story: Shuiichi One Half
No, the talent show is later . . . By the way, what happened to the ring- stealing demon?
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Chapter Four: Self-Defense
Kurama's POV
The alarm clock rang. It was morning. Rubbing my eyes, I tried to get up but fell back onto the pillow. I mumbled, "A few more minutes . . ."
Hiei came into the room.
SPLASH!
Yaah! I got up. Uh oh. My body was that of a girl . . . again. I got out of bed, dripping in ice-cold water. I glared at Hiei, who was snickering wickedly. "What was that for?"
He put on an innocent face. "To get you up."
I sighed. Maybe I should lock the door next time so that he doesn't sneak in. I asked him, "Can you go get hot water while I change?" Then the radio turned on. "Because of the last black-out, we won't have any electricity or hot water until noon. Please conserve water."
How coincidental! I changed after I kicked Hiei out of my room. Grabbing my bags, I went to school as a girl.
*~*~*~*~ Hallway ~*~*~*~*
Kurama's POV
I'm actually glad that I'm a girl today: we had to run 100 laps, and yes, cold water is a relief. I was in the hallway to get my books. I was about to close my locker when . . .
Some guy groped my you-know-what! I was about to punch him, but decided that wasn't the "girl" thing to do.
I just closed my books and ran to class.
*~*~*~*~ After School ~*~*~*~*
Kurama's POV
I was still pretty shocked about the "incident" in the hallway as I rushed out of the school(the school that contained girls wailing about Shuiichi's absence). Hiei looked at me sternly. "What happened, Kurama?"
I gulped. "Er . . . some guy . . . groped me."
"What?!"
Huh? Hiei's spirit energy was going up. Bad news. Suddenly his eye opened and his bandages fell. Shoot. I dragged him away before he attracted a crowd.
*~*~*~*~ Koenma's Palace ~*~*~*~*
Kurama's POV
I don't understand why Hiei reacted that way. He looked down guiltily, and I didn't have the heart to scold him. Walking up to Koenma (or down) I asked him, "Have you seen Botan around?"
He smiled at me, as if sharing a secret. "You mean the groping business?"
I blushed. "Yes."
He told me, "She's on the hall to the right."
I walked to the hall. Botan was chatting animatedly with Kuwabara's sister, Shizuru. I asked them, "Do you know what to do when a guy gropes you?"
Botan said, "You could try beating him up."
I covered my face with my hands. "That's what Hiei tried to do."
She giggled. "Ooh, he probably likes you."
Don't turn red, don't turn red . . . Darn, I just HAD to blush. I admonished, "Botan! That's not funny! You have any other way?"
She nodded. "Yes. You could slap him."
I groaned, "I don't think that's going to work. Rather, it encourages them."
As if on cue, Yusuke came in, looking at Keiko's underwear. He smiled, saying, "Nice color today, Keiko." Keiko turned red, slapping him in the face. He smiled and did it again.
I told them, "See?"
Shizuru said casually, "If they grope you, you should kick them where it hurts."
I stared at her. "You mean below the belt?"
She looked at me as though I were strange. "Of course I mean there!"
I winced. "That's low."
She smiled. "I know."
I left Koenma's place very harassed.
*~*~*~*~ Kurama's Apartment ~*~*~*~*
Hiei's POV
I was still thinking about Kurama's school day. NO ONE should touch Kurama. He doesn't deserve that.
I looked over at him(I know it's confusing, but he's still a girl right now). "So. What did the ever-happy Spirit World Grim Reaper tell you?"
He smiled. "Nice nickname, Hiei. Well. Botan told me to slap the guy while Shizuru told me to kick them in the family jewels."
I winced. "That would hurt."
He said, "Yes. I know."
He turned back to the paper he was writing on. He paused every few minutes to think. I asked him, "What are you doing?"
He smiled. "It's for the talent show. I think . . . we should do a song."
I stared at him. He was crazy! I've never sung out loud before. How would we write one? He chuckled. "I know what you're thinking, Hiei. I think . . . that Yukina will make the music."
My jaw dropped. "Yukina?!"
He laughed. "It turns out that she's very adept at composing. I think that you'll also have some musical talent, seeing as you're twins."
"By the way, speaking of Yukina, when will you tell her the truth?"
I scoffed. "None of your business, fox."
He looked at me, amused. "You know that something can happen to her, right?"
I pouted unhappily. "Yes."
He laughed again. Since when was Kurama so cheerful?! He said, giggling, "You're cute when you pout."
I gasped while he turned back to the paper. I could sense his embarrassment. I glared at him, wanting to make him think that I was insulted, though I wasn't. Actually, his comment made my heart soar high above the earth.
I told him, my voice slightly giddy, "I think the song should be about how we fight to achieve our dreams no matter what tries to stop us."
He stared at me. "Hiei . . . that's brilliant!"
I smiled smugly. "I know."
He laughed, crossed out what he was writing, and began another section. So I was of some use after all.

I like Shizuru's part in this ^_^
I'm making it slightly more fluffy in the future. Review!
