Past Lives
chapter eight
They got home a little after lunchtime and Shiori was quite surprised to see them home so early. They had left school exceptionally early and then they went to Rekai to see Koenma. They totally forgot what time it was until they got home. She had asked them why they were out early and Mitsuko explained the new teacher thing to her as Kurama went up into his room to tend to his "plants", well actually he was going to talk to Hiei, but Shiori couldn't know this.
Kurama had been listening in on his mom and Mitsuko's conversation for an hour or so before he heard the regular tapping at his window. He turned around and saw Hiei sitting outside of it and he opened it up.
"Hello Hiei." Kurama greeted him. "Hn." Hiei replied, "I was wondering what you were going to do about your mother, I have a feeling that the teacher is going to come over here to take Mitsuko away, and I wouldn't be surprised if she tried to harm your mother." "I don't know. I assumed the same thing. I'll find something to do. But I know that Mitsuko is more than welcome to stay here and that my mother will most likely not allow her to be sent away."
"Shuuichi would you come down and have some tea with Mitsuko and me?" Shiori called to him.
"Sure Mother" He called back. "I'll be down in a minute." He then turned to Hiei. "We'll talk about this later contact me if you can if you see our teacher coming." Hiei nodded and went out the way he came.
When Kurama got downstairs his mom was already pouring the tea into the cups and was getting ready to take them out to the living room where Mitsuko was sitting. Just after he took a seat on the couch next to Mitsuko Shiori brought in the tea and gave each of them a glass. She then sat in the chair opposite the couch and sipped on her tea.
"I hear that you two are going to have a problem with the new temporary teacher, do you agree Shuuichi?" She asked while periodically sipping on her tea. "Yes, that is what is going on mother. I also believe that she may want to have Mitsuko put into an orphanage or something." "I heard from Mitsuko. So you don't want to leave here darling?" She took another sip of tea. "No, I like it here, with you and Shuuichi. I feel like I belong somewhere. I had never fit in with the foster parents." She said looking down into her tea, before bringing it up to take a few sips. "I see, well, we'll have to do something about that. I'll be leaving in about a week, so we'll figure something out before then." She then finished her tea and excused herself as the phone started to ring. She came out a minute or two later and said "I'll be going to bed now, you two have a good night, the school just called and said that you don't have school tomorrow because a lesson plan must be made up."
The two of them sat in the living room for an hour discussing things before Hiei came in to join the conversation.
"Hello Hiei." Kurama and Mitsuko said near enough to the same time. Hiei just nodded. "I've been keeping an eye on that teacher. She's planning something but I don't know what, she somehow blocked me out." Mitsuko and Kurama looked at him with a bit of surprised gaze. "But, how could she do that? Is it maybe one of the demons techniques, or have we no information on them?" Kurama asked.
"Koenma said there isn't much on them except for what we already know. Anyway, I'm leaving now." And with that Hiei left.
The two of them didn't know what they were going to do next. They didn't have any school, and they probably wouldn't for a few days. Tomorrow was Shiori's birthday and they were going to go out to dinner.
"Kurama, I want to get your mother something for her birthday. Had I known before hand I would have gotten her something sooner." Mitsuko said after a brief silence. "Could we go tomorrow morning?" she looked up at him.
"Sure, we'll go when we'd usually have school." He said with a slight smile on his face. "What did you plan on getting her?"
"I don't know yet," she replied. "She travels a lot, maybe I could get her something nice to keep all of her shampoos and things in, could we give her a nice vase of flowers too?"
"Yeah, I was planning on giving her some flowers, we'll have to go look for a present tomorrow. As for me, I'm going to go to bed. You have a good night." With that he got up and left going up to his room. Mitsuko went to bed shortly after he did. But no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't fall asleep.
AN: I'm so sorry everyone. This chapter was cheap. And I haven't updated in so long. I feel really bad. Keep reading though. I promise I'll update more. Schools ending in two weeks! Less than that actually. I should be able to write during school now.
