School Trouble

Chapter 2: A not so normal day at school

"Don't think to hard fox you might hurt yourself," a gruff voice said beside him.

Kurama looked down into the red eyes of the demon beside him.

"You don't have to get up in the morning now that my mother knows," added the red head letting the insult flow right over him.

"Hn," was the only response he got out of the fire demon, but Kurama didn't mind the small demons quite nature in fact he thought it made him all the more cuter.

Kurama glanced at the clock it read 7:45 he needed to be at school by 8:15. He sighed and started to get out of bed but a strong grip stopped him.

"Hiei I need to get ready for school," but the little demon wouldn't let go. Kurama bent his head and kissed Hiei. As the kiss deepened Hiei's grip loosened and Kurama slipped out of bed. He broke the kiss grinning and walked to the bathroom.

"Sneaky Fox," grunted Hiei as he got out of bed and put on his boots, black cloak, and scarf. Kurama emerged from the bathroom a few minutes later dressed in his pink school uniform. There was a small knock on the door.

"Shui- I mean Kurama," called his mother from behind the door. Kurama walked over and opened the door and smiled at his mother.

"Good morning mother,"

"Good morning umm," it sounded as if she was confused on what to call him.

"Mother you may call me either Shuichi or Kurama it doesn't bother me either way."

"I think I'll call you Kurama it suites you better." She smiled at her son and peered over her son's shoulder to the silent demon behind him.

"Good morning Hiei will you be staying for breakfast," Kurama turned towards Hiei with a pleading look in his eyes.

"Yes Hiei will you be staying for breakfast," he then added telepathically ~Please Hiei~

~why~

~ Because it will be nice and I wont get to see you all day~

Hiei turned his gaze away from those pleading emerald eyes finding that he couldn't resist anymore.

He turned to Kurama's mother and nodded.

"Great Breakfast is ready now," As she walked down stairs with the two demons following behind she couldn't help but think of what just happened. When she asked Hiei if he would like to eat breakfast over it was like him and Kurama had had a silent conversation. With what she had heard last night she wouldn't be surprised if they had.

All three of them entered the kitchen and sat down at the table. Breakfast was eaten fairly quite until Kurama got a look at the clock, 8:05.

"I'm going to be late," he cried as he sprung to his feet.

"Bye mother," he said as he got his books. He went over to where Hiei sat, he had turned around when Kurama got out of his seat, and gave him a quick kiss and ran out the door, leaving an amused mother and embarrassed Fire demon alone with his mother.

Shori glanced at the uncomfortable boy in front of her.

"You can stay if you like. I would like to get to know you better," she spoke softly to him. Hiei glanced up at Kurama's mother. He could see why Kurama liked this woman so much. She made you feel comfortable and had a kind of warm aura around her. He decided it couldn't hurt and Kurama would like that he had talked to his mother. So he sat back down in his seat across from Shori.

"So Hiei, where do you live?"

"Different places sometimes a tree in Makai or Kurama's windowsill." He replied in a somewhat deadpan voice. Shori looked shocked,

"But where are you parents,"

"I was abandoned as a child." Shori looked close to tears,

"But why?" He looked at her as if studying her trying to think if he could trust this woman. He decided she was no threat,

"Because I was a fire demon born from an ice apparition and that was unheard of. Ice apparitions aren't even supposed to mate. So not long after I was born I was thrown off the floating island that ice apparitions live on. I wasn't supposed to survive," He stopped and snorted, "Like they could get rid of me that easily."

"So you have no family?"

His voice softened slightly when he spoke next, "I do, she is my twin, and her name is Yukina. She is an ice apparition." Shori looked at him for a second before asking her next question.

"Does she know that you're her brother," he snorted again.

"Yes Kurama forced me to tell her after being around her for two years."

"Two years! you waited two years to tell her,"

"Hn," replied Hiei. He kind of liked talking to Kurama's mother it was kind of like talking to Kurama. So the normally quite fire demon decided to stay for the day until Kurama arrived back home.

*With Kurama*

He couldn't believe how late he was going to be. He ran all the way to school hoping to any god that his fan club would not hassle him today.

When he got to school he found that the courtyard and the front of the school were disserted. He must be later than he thought. He ran all the way to his first bell class and skidded to a halt. His first block just happened to be botany so the teacher wouldn't get to mad at the 'best student' for being late, hopefully. He quickly entered the room,

"Sensei, I'm sorry that I am late I ..."

He stopped talking when he noticed his sensei in the back of the room looking terrified with the rest of the class. They were staring at a man that held a gun, that was standing in the front of the room. Then Kurama sensed it, how could he have been so stupid. Three of the five men were youkai. He quickly made sure that he was masking his ki.

From what he could see the one in the back was the leader and none of them were that strong of demons, but he still had to be careful five against one were still not great odds.

"Look what we have here boy's," drawled the one that was still pointing the gun at his terrified classmates.

"The boy was late for class."

"Boy! I thought he was a girl," said one of the denser men in the back. All five men started laughing at this.

"You know it is rather cowardly to hold a bunch of kids hostage who are un armed," said Kurama as if they were discussing it over lunch.

"Boy, are you calling us cowards," said another man. Kurama was delighted to see that the amusement had quickly disappeared. Glancing over at his classmates he started to walk over so he could stand in front of them in case the man decided to fire. Ignoring the question Kurama continued to taunt the men.

"Exactly why are you holding a class of high school botany student's hostage,"

"Because we want to show you stupid ningens the meaning pain," sneered the man holding the gun.

"Saiki, you will get to do what you want to this insolent ningen but first lets show him what being so disrespectful towards us will cost him. Chikuma go and get one of his female classmates so we can demonstrate." One of the men behind him came forth and went over to the huddled group and grabbed a small brunette roughly by the arms and dragged her forward. She started to whimper. A few of her friends started to cry.

"No don't hurt Mae please she didn't do anything," cried one of her friends but the men didn't listen.

"Here you go Mashaharu," replied the man known as Chikuma as he handed the girl over to the leader know known as Mashaharu. Mashaharu smirked and pushed her forward so she was standing in front of Saiki.

"There you go Saiki have some fun,"

He lifted up the gun and Mae whimpered. Kurama acted fast, he brought his rose from his hair and lashed his rose whip at the hand holding the gun.

"What," stammered Saiki as he looked down at his now bleeding hand. Then he looked back up at Kurama.

"You'll pay for that," Kurama could now feel his ki rising with anger. The two human men had left when Chikuma had gotten the girl. Kurama snorted in his head. The cowards probably didn't want to be here when their demon partners did the dirty work.

Kurama could fight them even though it would be hard as there were three of them but first he needed to get Mae out of the way. He ran his hand through his hair, as if it was a nervous habit but actually removing one of his seeds.

"Will I pay?" Kurama asked in the same nonchalant tone of voice. A few of his classmates looked at him as if he was crazy.

"Why you," quickly Kurama through the seed at the three men. It sprouted into vines and started to twist around all three of the men. Kurama ran over two Mae who stood transfixed staring at the men and the plants that were surrounding them. Kurama sighed and picked her up and moved to the back of the classroom and set her down next to his other classmates.

"Sensei please make sure that all of you stay in the back and do not interfere," His sensei looked like she was in shock like many of the other student but she mutely nodded her head.

"Shuichi let us help you we can fight" said one of his male classmates.

"No, you don't understand," he looked back at the struggling men, " They are not human." Every one of his classmates looked really confused. Kurama just stood up and turned towards the men. He walked towards them as they finally untangled themselves from the plants.

"That's it," roared Saiki he seemed to be the hot headed one of the bunch. He transformed, he wasn't that big of a demon but judging by the gasps that came from his classmates behind him, it didn't matter it scared them. He couldn't tell what kind of demon he was but he was very ugly. He was a little over six feet tall and his skin was a disgusting slimy black color. The only visible weapons he had were his claws and the huge mouth full of razor sharp teeth. the gun had been thrown aside. Following his lead the other two transformed the only difference between them from Saiki was Chikuma was a dark slimy green and Mashaharu was a darker black then Saiki.

"Scared little boy," asked Saiki in his know deeper and scratchier voice.

"No not really," he replied stepping forward. He ignored the gasps behind him. Saiki sneered and lunged forward with his claws in front of him. Again Kurama reacted so fast that his classmates barley saw him do it. He dodged to the right and brought his rose whip down on Saiki's back. Saiki managed to dodge the attack but not without getting slashed on the back.

"I don't know what kind of ningen you are but I do know you ain't gonna be living for long," said Chikuma from behind Kurama. Kurama whirled around and dodged another furious swipe of claws. This really wasn't looking good with everyone ganging up on him. Kurama lashed out at Chikuma with his rose whip, Chikuma dodged but got slashed on the face. Kurama was getting ready to attack again when he felt two strong clawed hands gripping his arms to his sides painfully.

"Let's see how you taste boy, I think you'll be my dinner," sneered the harsh voice of Mashaharu. Saiki and Chikuma stood in front of Kurama watching amusedly as he struggled against the powerful grip. Kurama looked behind them at some of the plants they had been working on. The teacher had commented on how rare Kurama's looked, but what she didn't know was that what was supposed to be a regular ivy vine was actually a rather dangerous vine that resided in Makai. If he could just get them to come and help he might have a chance. But in his human body he couldn't do that. He glanced towards his classmates it was either die or transform and have them find out his secret.

An image of Hiei went through his mind. No he couldn't die he had promised his little youkai that he wouldn't leave him. And Koenma had said that there would be people trying to torment ningens and expose them to demons. With his mind made up he turned his attention back to the smirking demons that held him captive. Saiki was saying something,

"Mashaharu before you eat him lets find out the name of the ningen that dares to cross us."

"Well boy you heard him what's your name," said Mashaharu shaking him slightly.

"My name is...Shuichi Minamano but you wouldn't know me by that name would you well you might have heard of me," he replied thoughtfully. This enraged his captors even more, the fact that he just seemed not to care about dieing and that he didn't seem scarred of them.

"Well boy what would we know you by," sneered Mashaharu from his position behind him.

"Why Yoko Kurama of course," Kurama watched with satisfaction as all three of his captor's faces froze in shock. Chikuma was the first to speak,

"You lie Yoko Kurama was a demon thief both of what you are not,"

*With his classmates*

All his classmates watched in almost terrified amusement as Kurama taunted the three men.

"Why is he taunting them. He is only going to get killed by those horrible monsters," whispered Mae tearfully.

"He looks as if he can handle himself," said one of the male classmates as he watched in awe as Kurama dodged another attack and lashed with his whip.

"Yeah were did he get that whip anyway," said another male classmate.

"It looks like he changed one of his roses into it," replied a small blond.

"Yeah and it also looked as if he was controlling those weird vines," whispered another male classmate. There was a small gasp from their sensei. All of them turned their attention back to the fight. Kurama had just gotten pinned by one of the 'monsters'.

"We need to help. Where is the rest of the school,"

"Remember they said they wanted to set an example of us and evacuated everyone but us," replied their sensei still keeping her voice low.

" Sensei what are those men,"

"I don't know but," she paused then continued again, "In history class remember learning about mythology," everyone nodded it had been their favorite part, "Well don't they look like demons." everyone looked at the men again.

"Yeah," breathed Mae, " they do, you don't think those stories were true do you they..." she was cut off by someone shushing her.

"Listen I want to hear what Shuichi is going to say," everyone listened as Shuichi spoke.

"Well boy you heard him what's your name," asked a demon standing in front of Shuichi.

"My name is...Shuichi Minamano but you wouldn't know me by that name would you well you might have heard of me," he replied. Everyone was really confused did Shuichi have another name. All of the demons looked really angry.

"Well boy what would we know you by,"

"Why Yoko Kurama of course," replied Shuichi.

"I've heard that name before," replied the sensei.

"Yoko Kurama was suppose to be a legendary kitsune who died when a hunter during a burglary shot him." stated a brunet boy. He had loved learning about Japanese mythology and the story of Yoko Kurama was his favorite.

"Shuichi couldn't be..."

"Look!" exclaimed the sensei cutting the boy off. They all turned towards Kurama again.

*With Kurama*

Kurama just smirked at there furious expressions. Saiki was next to speak,

"Yeah and Yoko Kurama died,"

Kurama's smile just grew as he started to transform. A mist surrounded him and when it cleared there was Yoko Kurama, being held in Mashaharu's now slack grip.

Everyone in the room including the students were staring at Kurama with shock written on all of their faces.
