It began with a fortune cookie
Chapter 3: Home sweet home?
When Angel got back home Hiei was surprised at how giddy she could be. When she got in the first thing she did was bounce up and down like a little girl on Christmas day.
"Mommy Daddy look what Sensei Norm gave me!!" She said with glee showing her new sword off.
"Wow Ang-a-lious you got yourself a sword." Her father said hugging her.
"Oh! Oh! Guess what?" Angel said.
"What?" Her mother asked.
"I can test for green now!! And I kicked Alex's butt as well as Arnold's today." Angel said.
"Alright!" Her mother said hugging her.
"So you beat up guys again. Was it fun? Was there blood?" Sarah asked.
"When it came to the sword duel there was." Angel said.
"Angel who's he?" Lyndsay asked pointing to Hiei.
"Oh this is the exchange student we got. They couldn't get Gade because she missed too much schooling in Thailand so they brought us a guy from Japan ain't that neat?" Angel asked.
"A guy huh? Didn't we specify that we DON'T have a guy student?" Her father asked sternly.
"Father you're being rude." Angel said with her hands on her hips.
"Hey Chrisy Jr." Her uncle said coming into the livingroom.
"Hi Uncle Frank. Didn't I tell you not to call me Chrisy Jr.? I mean sure I look like my mom but still." Angel said in a slight scold.
"Tom, I didn't specify anything." Her mother said to her father.
"Oy! I'm going to my room you two can argue." Angel said going to her room.
"Are your parents always like that?" Hiei asked.
"No. On some occasions me and Sarah retreat into here while they do the lovey dovy married couple thing. But it's worse 10 fold at school." Angel said.
"I see." Hiei said while watching Angel remove her belt and letting her gi jacket fall to the ground.
"That feels better. Now to just sit in front of the AC and everything in the world will be ok. But I have to finish this." She said while taking the papers and finishing them.
Hiei watched her as she finished filling the papers out. Her handwriting was small but neat, it looked professional and he knew it could pass for his 'mother's' handwriting.
"Por Fin!" She happily said and handed Hiei the papers.
"You write a lot don't you?" He asked.
"Yup. Many people say I should be a writer for how much I do." Angel replied.
"You got homework?" Her mother asked after knocking.
"I already did it mom." Angel replied.
"Good. So how were your first set of 4 teachers?" Her mom asked sitting in the computer desk chair.
"They were ok. I did get Mrs. Moore for Geometry and I don't wanna take it if she's the teacher." She whined.
"Just be tolerant like you always are." Her mother said.
"Mom, she's a senile old woman who has a MAJOR corncob up her ass. You want to know what she said to me? She said that 'Hopefully I do better than in the 9th grade'. I hate teachers like that." Angel said.
"Just be the tolerant lady I taught you to be." Her mother said.
"Hai Ka-chan. But then I do have to tolerate at least another 16 years of school after I graduate." Angel said with a smile.
"Why 16?" Hiei asked.
"I might become a Veterinarian or a doctor. Medical school alone is 10 years and then theirs the university which is a 4 years and community college which is 2." Angel replied.
"A lot of schooling." Hiei said.
"But remember what I said Angel." Her mother said.
"A guy isn't going to get in my way. Plus I ain't marrying any soldier." Angel said darkly.
"Just saying. Remember what we talked about the other day." Her mother said walking out of the room.
"Me, fall in love with some guy? Ha! There no decent men out there anymore they're merely little boys wanting nothing but a good feel on a girl these days." Angel muttered while putting her stuff back in her bookbag.
"That's true." Hiei said confirming her saying.
"You haven't seen what one guy did to me 3 years ago. God I still want to kill him." She said while balling her fists.
"You're a man-hater?" Hiei asked.
"Sorta." Angel said with a smirk.
"You look menacing with that look." He said.
"Rick said that too." She said the smirk fading.
"Angel!!!!!" She heard her cousin yell.
"Oh no! Shit! She's here!" Angel freaked.
"Who?" Hiei asked.
"My cousin." Angel said.
"Angel! Oh who's the hottie?" Jasmine asked.
"Doh!" Angel smacked her forehead.
"Huh Angel? What happened to Rick I thought you liked him." Jasmine said.
"Rick moved away. Why do I have to answer that to everyone? This is Ho he's the exchange student from Japan that came in earlier today. And Jasmine he's the type that don't like forward girls ok. I did the questions you'd usually ask poor unsuspecting guys okay?" Angel said.
"Man Angel you ruin my fun. You need to live a little." Jasmine said.
"Nick says I need a good laying but I hate it when people say that." Angel muttered.
"Well you'll loose your virginity soon. You won't be the squabbling maiden who hates guys and think that they're the scum of the universe." Jasmine said.
Hiei saw the pitiful look on Angel's face when her cousin said that.
"You don't have to make me sound like the bad person here you know." Angel said.
"Oh did I hurt your feelings by saying that?" Jasmine asked.
"My father taught me that I am my own person and I don't have to depend on some guy to care for me. I learned many valuable facts from my father. I'm following what I learned. And if that means I'm going to be a squabbling maiden for the rest of my life, although I planned on motherhood, I'll take it as my duty." Angel yelled to her cousin.
"So Ho . . . how do you like the US so far?" Jasmine asked Hiei.
"It's ok." He bluntly said while looking at a peeved Angel.
Jasmine elbowed Angel sharply in the ribs. Angel hissed like a cat for her to stop.
"Whoa ok I'll leave you alone." Jasmine said with a nervous laugh.
Jasmine left the room. Angel punched a wall. Hiei saw a hole in the wall when she removed her fist. He saw a bit of blood.
"That girl. Is so uncontrollable. She doesn't know when to shut her big trap." Angel said, anger marks popping up all over her head.
"By the way you're reacting your cousin knows things that she should have kept her trap shut on." Hiei said with a smirk.
"She hasn't been betrayed by many people to understand when to and when not to speak." Angel said while turning to face him.
"Seems that we have one thing in common." Hiei said.
"What's that oh mighty fire demon?" Angel joked.
"We don't hand out our trust on a platter." Hiei said ignoring her mockery.
"Hey Angel. I wanna hear your Lil' Kim CD." Jasmine said.
"Hey Ally came up with a routine for 'Jump Off'." Angel said while handing her cd to her cousin.
"Did she saw you?" She asked.
"I would NEVER do such dancing." Angel said with a blush.
"As you would say. 'I have no figure to be doing that plus it is total advertising and I ain't not piece of meat for some guy.'" Jasmine said.
"Just like I stated. You have good memory Jas." Angel said with a smile.
Her cousin left her room yet again and she plopped onto her bed next to Hiei who was sitting at the foot of the bed.
"Today was sure strange. For one you some how got here and now you have to live here with me." Angel said with her eyes closed.
"I need to get back to where I was." Hiei said.
"I'll try to help you." Angel said.
Hiei looked at the calm girl next to him. She looked at peace just lying there.
"I have a question." Angel said.
"What is it?" Hiei asked.
"Do you EVER tell Yukina you're her bro?" Angel asked sitting up and looking at him.
"I was thinking of telling her after the Dark Tournament." Hiei said.
"That's good. If I had a brother I'd want to know. No matter what he did." Angel said.
Right then Angel's baby sister came in with a lighter and headed towards the candle she gave her for her birthday.
"What are you doing?" Angel asked.
"Lighting the candle." Lyndsay said.
"Oh no you don't. You'll burn yourself. And haven't you learned. Never touch matches or play with lighters? Now give me that." Angel said.
Hiei watched the two sisters fight over the lighter.
"I wanna light the candle!" Lyndsay whined.
"Indian giver!!! This is my candle now!" Angel yelled while squeezing her sister's small hand.
"OW!!! I'm telling mom!!" Lyndsay cried before running out of the room.
"Great the little brat is going to get me in trouble." Angel muttered while lighting her candle.
Hiei saw how much she liked the flame.
"You're a Pryo-maniac. Aren't you?" He asked.
"Loved fire since I was a child." Angel said as her mother came into the room.
"Lyndsay was playing with the lighter and she knows better so I squeezed her hands so she wouldn't burn herself." Angel said.
"I wanted to hear the story from you. Lyndsay go clean your room it's a mess." Angel's mom said.
"BUT MOM!!!" Lyndsay whined while jumping onto Angel's bed and glomping onto Hiei.
"Ho-san please tell Angel to stop being mean to me." The youngest sister whined to the fire demon.
"She wasn't being mean. You would have been burnt." Hiei said to the 9-year-old.
Lyndsay went out of the room.
"She's the annoying one isn't she?" Hiei asked.
"Annoying ain't the word." Angel said while getting her clothes out for tomorrow.
"You need clothes don't you?" She asked while sitting back on her bed.
"Yeah." Hiei said.
"Black is all you'll wear huh?" She asked.
"You know a store where they sell black clothes?" HE asked.
"Do I? Of course I do but mom won't let me buy things in there." Angel said while taking her wallet out.
"Is the store expensive?" Hiei asked.
"Why do you think I'm checking my wallet?" Angel asked.
Hiei went to her mom and told her he needed clothes and that Angel was going to help. Her mom dropped them off at the mall.
"Hot Topic." Angel said pointing to the store.
"How much money do you have?" Hiei asked.
"So much money that I could buy myself a lot of boxsets but this is more important." Angel said.
The two got themselves black clothes and then called her mom to pick them up.
"Nice haul I would say. Now I can freak my friends out when I got to school sometime." Angel said looking at her super baggy black pants that had chains on it.
"But those are guy pants." Hiei said.
"So. I can fit into them." Angel said while putting her things away.
"Where am I sleeping?" Hiei asked.
"In here. I don't trust anyone with you." Angel said serious.
Hiei saw the serious look in her eyes and knew if he argued with her it would be a draw. Angel sat down at her computer and let Patches jump onto her lap.
"No Patch you'll burn yourself you silly kitty." Angel said kissing her kitty on the head.
Hiei saw how endearing she could be next to the facade she showed in school and at Jujitsu.
"Why do you play someone different at school and at your martial arts class?" He asked.
"You wouldn't understand probably but if I showed my true self people would think I was some hyped up girl who is too happy or too sweet. And people would take for granted my kindness." Angel said while nuzzling her kitty.
"Angel! Ho! Time for dinner!" Her mother yelled.
"Coming!!" Angel yelled.
Hiei and everyone got to the table to eat.
"YAY!!!!! LASAGNA!!!!" ^.^ Angel said happily before digging in.
"So Ho tell us about your family." Angel's mom said.
"My parents are divorced." Hiei answered.
"Do you have any siblings?" Sarah asked.
"A sister." Hiei replied.
"How old is she?" Lyndsay asked.
"She's Angel's age." Hiei said.
Dinner was over and Angel was slaving in the kitchen cleaning. Hiei watched her clean the kitchen humming to herself. She was being VERY through. Hiei sat down in the livingroom and talked with her uncle, aunt, and father. It was very interesting. These humans were very easy to get along with in his opinion. He had a conversation in Japanese with Angel's father. He was a nice man in Hiei's opinion. When Angel finished she didn't show any sign of it and went to her room and turned her CD player on.
