School Trouble

Chapter 3: Secret Revealed

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.

"This can't be you died," stammered Saiki.

"You think little of me. Do you think I would so easily let myself get killed? No I escaped and became the son of Shori Minamano and I myself became Shuichi Minamano."

"Join us, we can kill these worthless humans," replied Chikuma suddenly stepping forward. Kurama glanced over at the fearful faces of his classmates. And replied immediately,

"I think not I rather like my life here in Ningenkai," he replied smoothly. As soon as he said this Mashaharu's grip on his arms tightened again. He silently scolded himself for not breaking free when it was tight. He looked over at his plants and saw that they were already responding and were slowly weaving there way towards Saiki and Chikuma. When they were about a foot away from them they attacked. Wrapping them selves tightly all over the body's of the two men. Instantly Saiki and Chikuma started to struggle, and only succeeded in getting cut by the plants sharp leaves. Mashaharu watched as his two partners were attacked. He dug his claws into Kurama's arms drawing blood.

"Your plants won't be able to hold them for long. You see my claws have poison on them and you will soon be weakening," he said two Kurama.

Kurama's eyes widened as he felt himself get weaker. He watched in horror as his vines started to loosen their grip and fall off of the two men. Then he started to get dizzy and he fell to the floor.

"That was a cowardly trick," he spat out as he tried to regain his balance and get to his feet again. He just couldn't do anything until the poison was out of his system and that might take at least ten minutes and by the look of things he didn't have ten minutes to spare.

"Ha it still worked didn't," replied Mashaharu. Saiki and Chikuma walked up to stand behind him. They both were cut in several places all over their bodies but the smirks on their faces remained as they watched Kurama struggle to regain balance.

He was going to die if he didn't do something. He could dodge their attacks if he tried but not for long he needed help and fast.

Suddenly he thought of something. Hiei if he could get a hold of Hiei he could ask for help. He had just enough strength to send one message telepathically.

~Hiei I need your help please~

He just hoped the little fire demon got his message.

*With Hiei*

He had been dragged everywhere. To the dry cleaners, to the post office, and other places he couldn't even remember. He was no at a place he liked to refer as ningen hell, the grocery store. He couldn't wait to get out of here. He was now currently standing in line with Kurama's mother. Despite having to go to all these reticules ningen places he rather enjoyed his day with her. He just wouldn't be admitting that to anyone else.

Kurama's mother paid for the food and they exited the store. Hiei suddenly stopped he felt Yusuke and Kuwabara coming this way and fast. He saw them they were racing down the sidewalk this way, they looked frantic.

"Hiei aren't those friends of yours and Kurama from last night," asked Shori as Yusuke and Kuwabara neared them. Hiei nodded to answer her question.

Yusuke skidded to a halt in front of Hiei.

"Hiei the toddler was right. This morning in school a whole bunch of demons tried to kill some student's," when he finished Kuwabara had arrived along with Yukina, Keiko, and Boton.

"Yukina what are you doing here," he asked his sister letting Yusuke catch his breath.

"Incase anyone is injured oniisan. I will be able to heal them." Hiei was about to reply but stopped short.

~Hiei I need your help please~

"Kurama," he whispered and was about to run towards the school when a gentle hand on his shoulder stopped him.

"What's wrong with my son," he looked up into the worried face of Shori.

"He needs help,"

"Take me with you," she replied in a determined voice.

"Me too oniisan I can help if Kurama-san is injured," Hiei looked at both then at Yusuke.

"Take them with you. There are some more demons coming around the corner and Boton and Keiko can take these groceries home. Then Kuwabara and me will catch up with you," said Yusuke quickly. Hiei nodded and put Yukina on his back and picked up Kurama's mother. Without another word he flitted away going as fast as he could towards the school.

*With Kurama*

He didn't know how long he could do this he thought as he dodged yet another attack from the relentless demons.

The next attack he didn't dodge so well and the claws of Saiki sliced into his stomach. He could no longer dodge the poison and the wound were slowing him down too much.

"Now you'll meet your end you stupid Kitsune," sneered Mashaharu as he brought his now bloody claws above his head. There were two yelps followed by two thumps behind him. Distracted he turned to find the body of Saiki decapitated and Chikuma sliced in the gut.

"Who?" he looked at the demon that stood behind the bodies. He had a katana out in front of him and looked positively livid. Two women scurried behind him. One of the women was a demon. They went toward where the rest of the ningens were huddled.

"Don't you touch him," replied the short demon in such an icy tone it sent a shiver down his spine.

Kurama from his spot on the floor heard the voice and was filled with relief. Hiei had come heard him and came. He looked up past Mashaharu at his demon lover and smiled shakily.

"Hiei..." he said softly.

Hiei glanced at Kurama. He looked at his distressed form and at the gash in his stomach. He returned his gaze to Mashaharu with murder in his eyes.

"You did this to him," it was more of a statement then a question. Saiki glanced at Kurama who was still struggling with the poison.

"Who are you?" he said venomously.

"The last person you see before you die," Hiei spat out. He wanted to kill this Youkai for what he did to his fox. But he knew that something was up the Youkai was acting way to confident. Hiei used his speed and quickly went to Kurama's side. Hiei really wanted to get this over with and just kill the stupid demon but he couldn't risk it with Kurama in the way.

~Fox through a seed to keep him distracted while I get you over there with my sister and your mother~

~Why is my mother and Yukina here anyway~

~They wanted to come. Just through the seeds~

~Ok sweetie~

~Don't call me that~

Kurama just ignored him and looked towards Mashaharu who looked agitated at being ignored. He didn't want to use the vines again so he decided to use a stationary plant that brings the victims to them. The plant wouldn't kill him but it would keep him distracted. He ran his hand through his hair and removed the seed he wanted. Almost lazily he lifted his hand and threw the seed at Mashaharu. The plant instantly bloomed into a bush like plant. It used its roots to ensnare Mashaharu's legs and bring him down on the ground.

Hiei helped Kurama to his feet and led him to the group in the corner. The students looked slightly fearful but not much. Hiei allowed Kurama to sit on the floor.

"Now stay here and try not to get yourself hurt anymore fox," he grunted.

"Mou Hiei, you make it sound like you didn't want to come help me," replied Kurama with a pout.

"You could have got me to come earlier before they did this to you," he gestured towards all the scraps on his arms and gash on his stomach.

"It's not that bad," replied Kurama smiling at how worried Hiei looked because of his wounds. Hiei straightened up and turned to walk towards the still struggling Mashaharu. He turned his head towards Kurama,

"He is still going to pay for doing that to you fox," he spoke low and the tone in his voice promised torture.

"Just don't torture him too much," he smirked showing some of his fang and turned towards Mashaharu and walked towards him waiting for him to untangle himself.

"Kurama-san let me heal that cut for you," spoke Yukina softly as she approached him. Kurama nodded and all of his classmates and sensei watched in awe as his cuts closed and healed without a scare.

"Yukina can you do anything for the poison," he asked her hopefully.

"No Kurama-san I can't. You just need to let it run its course." Kurama nodded grimly. The poison still had about three or four minutes left. He felt someone massaging his ear and looked up at his mother. He had momentarily forgotten that he was in his fox form.

"You look even more handsome now,"

Yukina giggled as a deep grumbling sounded in his chest. His mother rubbing his ear had caused him to start to purr. Kurama looked towards the front of the classroom. Mashaharu had just untangled himself from the plant.

"You will pay," he spoke just as icily as before. Mashaharu couldn't figure out why he was so mad this Youkai couldn't be…

It hit him and he smirked,

"Came to protect your mate did you. Well so far you have done a pretty bad job." He needed to get him agitated. He looked past the small demon to see Chikuma silently sit up. He caught Chikumas eye and smirked. He focused his attention back on the now steaming youkai. Just a couple more seconds and they would have him right were they wanted him.

Hiei growled. Was this demon praying to die? How dare he taunt him like that. He couldn't have come to help Kurama any sooner because the stupid fox didn't ask for help. He stepped forward,

"Die you stu…"

"FIRE," was shouted from behind him.

*With Kurama and the others*

"Shuichi what's going on how is that little boy going to fight that awful monster."

"I will explain everything once everything is done with," he said as he watched the fight. He saw Mashaharu smirk and everyone leaned in to hear what was going to be said next,

"Came to protect your mate did you. Well so far you have done a pretty bad job." Mashaharu spoke in a voice thick in amusement. Everyone turned towards the blushing Kurama. Yukina spoke softly,

"Kurama-san why is he taunting oniisan,"

"I don't know maybe…" his eyes widened as he saw Chikuma get up from the floor unnoticed by Hiei. He pointed his hand at Hiei's back and shouted fire. A blast much like Yusuke's shotgun hit Hiei in the back.

"No Hiei," shouted Kurama as he sprang forward still wobbling but not as much as before.

*With Hiei*

His eyes got wide. He had been too careless in his blind hate for the Youkais that hurt Kurama and forgot to make sure the other two demons were really dead.

He flew halfway across the room and hit a table. He toppled to the floor were he lay unmoving.

Kurama tried to get to Hiei but Mashaharu turned toward him and focused his energy to cage Kurama. Kurama stopped short looking at the glowing bars that surrounded him.

"Look Chikuma looks like we caught a fox sneered Mashaharu. Chikuma was walking towards Hiei's prone figure.

Kurama growled as he got closer to Hiei.

"I bet that you're wondering how we got so strong all of a sudden." Said Mashaharu again. Kurama looked back at starting to actually wonder how these low level demons got stronger.

"You see the minute your little lover killed Saiki all of his energy went into Chikuma and I. And Saiki being the strongest it gave us a pretty big power boost. Funny the strongest of us all killed first." Kurama turned his attention back towards Chikuma who was still approaching Hiei Kurama had to do something. He suddenly got an idea. He looked towards Mashaharu who was still talking. He quietly transformed onto his fox form and slipped through the bars he crept behind Mashaharu in his fox form. He transformed back into his Yoko form and readied his rose whip.

Mashaharu looked towards the cage pausing to take a breath and saw that the fox wasn't there any more.

"What?" was the last thing he said.

"Rose Whip," Kurama's whip came down on him and he crumpled to the floor. Kurama looked toward Chikuma who hadn't even noticed the death of his partner. Kurama acted quickly, he dove towards Hiei covering his smaller form with his own. Chikuma looked taken aback he paused, his claws raised in the air ready to attack.

"Awe isn't that sweet you can die together," he went to bring his claws down and Kurama closed his eyes waiting for the blow but it never came.

"SPIRIT GUN", shouted Yusuke from behind Chikuma. The blast sent him flying in to the wall. Kurama opened his to see Chikuma trying to get to his feet but he didn't even have a chance Kuwabara rushed forward with his spirit sword and finished him off.

Kurama got off Hiei and looked down he was still unconscious. He scooped him up in his arms and walked over to his sister and laid him down in front of Yukina. Without even saying anything she used her powers to heal the cut that he got from the fall.

He groaned and opened his eyes.

"Hello oniisan are you feeling better," Hiei looked up at Yukina.

"Yukina… Where is Kurama," he sat up abruptly.

"Hiei I am fine," spoke Kurama from his left.

"Stupid shrimp always getting people worried," snorted Kuwabara.

"Say one more thing and …"

"Excuse us but can someone please explain to me what is going on," all the members of the Rekai Tentai turned towards the Sensei.
