::sighs in exasperation at her procrastinating:: -.-;; . . . back to the fic . . .
Starts out in Yusuke's POV ~-^
*~*~*~*~*
"Okay—" I began, startling the tense silence for the second time that night. "—what do we do now, basaan?" (a.n./ 'obasaan' {or—shortened as 'basaan'} is 'grandma' in Japanese, Yusuke actually says this in the Japanese version of the show, so I thought I'd start using it here ^-^;; . . . gomen, I'm done, now -.-;;)
She sighed deeply, then closed her eyes and spoke clearly and firmly.
"Yusuke will stay here and train. Hiei will attend Sarayashiki Junior High in the meantime." Our reactions were pretty much the same, except I was now standing in front of her, yelling, while Hiei had settled on giving her his patented glare of death.
"WHAT THE HECK ARE YOU THINKING, YOU OLD HAG?!? NO WAY AM I GOING TO SUFFER ANOTHER ONE OF YOUR WEEKS IN BOOT CAMP JUST BECAUSE I HAPPEN TO BE—"
"Trapped?" She stated simply, opening her eyes. "Think about it, dimwit. You can't go to school as you are now . . . why waste that free time. As for you—"She turned her gaze to the still-glaring, taller, brown- eyed version of Hiei. "It would be good for you to have another experience to learn from, ne?" His dark eyes narrowed, and he turned away, walking out the door with the usual 'hn'. Kurama, shaking his head, followed soon after.
Which left me alone with the old hag. I looked at her sideways . . . maybe I wouldn't have to do TOO much work, after all, it wasn't my body, so—
"Get on the floor, slacker." She said impatiently. I sat quickly. She followed suit.
"Now don't think these next few days are going to be easy, dimwit." She stated severely, glaring at me in her own annoyed way as she spoke.
"They are likely going to be the hardest you will ever train under me." I nodded, getting serious. She took a deep breath.
"You will attempt to complete challenges you have never encountered before, and enemies that you have never faced in any way, shape or form." I nodded again, leaning in along with the intensity of the moment . . .
"We are going . . . to train your mind." I anime fell face-first into the hard wood of the temple. K'so . . . this was going to be worse than school. (a.n./ ^-^;; . . . lol!)
~*~_the next morning . . . in Hiei's POV_~*~
I woke, early as usual . . . just as the sun rose. I climbed out the detective's window and sat staring into the crisp morning from my new perch in the tree's tall branches.
A few hours later, I heard tromping footsteps come up the stairs. I turned my head to see the door slide open, then heard the onna gasp as she saw the bed was empty.
"Yusuke!" She cried, running over and attacking the sheets, searching for any sign of him . . . or rather . . . me. I sighed heavily and flitted back into the room . . . well, not really flitted . . . more like leapt . . . k'so, how I hated this body . . .
"Oh! THERE you are!" I brought my gaze back to her. The ningen had finally noticed my presence. Took her long enough. She frowned.
"What are you doing up, Yusuke? Do you feel sick?" She walked over to me and placed a hand on my forehead. I resisted the urge to hit her across the room.
"Get. Off. Me." I said in the most civil voice I could muster. She removed her hand quickly, then glared at me, whacking me on the side of the head, which caused me to glare at her even more.
"Don't you talk to your mother that way! I was just coming in to get you up for school, you ingrate!"
"Hn." I said, walking past her and out the door. "Baka . . ." I muttered under my breath, which earned me another minor head injury. I took out some bread and ate. Might as well not die of starvation while I was stuck in this ningen's body . . .
About a half-hour later there was a knock at the door. When the mother didn't appear, I scowled and walked over to the door, opening it quickly. On the other side stood a girl with shoulder-length brown hair and brown eyes, currently wearing a blue school uniform . . .
This was Yusuke's 'girl'. Now if only I could remember her name . . . then I noticed she was blinking in surprise.
"Wow, Yusuke! You're actually AWAKE?! At THIS hour!? Are you sick or something???" Just like the mother had done, she placed a hand on my forehead. I grit my teeth, knowing that the detective would kill me himself . . . or at least attempt to . . . if I messed anything up between them.
"I'm fine." I said curtly. Her eyes narrowed slightly.
"Well, good morning to you, too."
"Hn." I said, walking out the door. She followed me. I suppose since we were both going to the same school, that made sense . . . after a few blocks, she began to speak again.
"Hey, Yusuke . . ."
"Hn." I acknowledged.
"Are you SURE you're feeling okay? You're acting really funny." I smirked. Baka ningen girl . . . but I had to give her credit for her perceptiveness.
"Hn, baka. I'm fine." I was suddenly slapped, hard, on the cheek . . . and I turned to face her, my short temper sparking dangerously. She was annoyed as well, and the look in her eyes would have been quite intimidating . . . if I hadn't seen many more potent glares from youkai determined to kill me. I scowled right back at her. We stayed like that for a few minutes, and then her eyes softened, and she broke the contest. The ningen walked a little ways ahead, and, curious at her sudden silence, I followed until I was at her side. Then she spoke very softly.
"Where's Yusuke?"
"Nani?!" I said, surprised at her knowing the truth. Were onna really that perceptive? She looked at me, a hurt look in her eyes.
"Please tell me where he is . . . and who you are. I want to know." I looked away and up with an arrogant 'hn', but we continued to walk, and I broke the silence after a while.
"I'm . . . a friend. He's training with Genkai—" I stopped short. Something inside of me kept me from telling her that this . . . could be permanent.
"Until when?" I scoffed at my own weakness, then answered quickly, seeing as we were at the school gates now.
"Until he's done, baka." I heard her sigh in relief.
"Okay . . . thank you, whoever you are." I turned my head to look at her sideways, and found the girl smiling brightly.
"My name's Keiko, by the way, and I think you're going to need my help." I 'hn'ed, and walked into the building, ignoring the stares I got from the other students.
Baka ningen . . .
*~*~*~*~*
School, I found, was pitifully simple and ultimately pointless. I then wondered why Kurama put up with it everyday . . . and shook my head free of thoughts concerning the fox. I, along with the ningen in the classroom, was staring dully at the clock, waiting for the so-called 'bell' to ring, supposedly 'freeing' us. How I loathed that bell. It always seemed to startle me for some reason . . . when I was lost in my thoughts, that bell would jerk me awake, only to move to the next classroom. Baka beru . . .
I wandered outside, behind most of the stampeding children . . . and felt a familiar youki. Curious, I walked out of the building, towards the tree where I sensed the presence. I smirked as I walked around it, finding the fox leaning against the trunk casually, hands in the pockets of the red- hued uniform, his eyes closed and a small, amused smile creeping onto his face. Then he opened those green orbs to look straight at me, mirth sparking in the depths.
"Hello, Hiei. Have a nice day at school?" I scoffed, answering, as we began to walk away from the structure.
"Hn. How do you put up with this every day, kitsune. It's pointless." He laughed softly, sending a little shiver up my spine . . . it always pleased me when I made the kitsune smile . . . like I mattered . . . some small bit . . . at least to SOMEONE . . .
"For my kasaan, Hiei . . . if I didn't go to school she wold be very disappointed, ne?"
"Hn." I said, starting to walk away. "Baka onna ningen . . ." I muttered under my breath. I heard another chuckle from beside me, but kept my eyes turned forwards.
"What was that, Hiei? JEALOUSLY?" He laughed, teasing me.
"Hn. Stupid fox." (a.n./ jus so you know where Keiko is, she has after-school activities because she's such a 'goody two-shoes' ^-^;;; heh . . . jus so you're not wondering why Kura- and Hi-kun are heading home from school without her lol . . . ~-^;;)
*~*~*~*~*
We were walking silently, side by side, back to the baka tantei's home, when Kurama broke the silence.
"Hiei?"
"Hn." I affirmed, and he continued.
"Why haven't you been speaking to me by telepathy lately?" He questioned lightly. My eyes widened and I stopped. He kept walking, but paused when he noticed I wasn't following.
Why WASN'T I talking to him by telepathy?? My eyes bored into the ground slightly to my right.
It was no secret I hated the detective's voice coming out of me . . . I concentrated, hard, on reaching the fox's mind . . . nothing. I tried again, louder . . . but there was silence. I couldn't even hear my mental voice in my OWN mind . . . (a.n./ ^-^;; ok, well, when Hi-kun uses telepathy, the words echo in his mind, and he knows that they're being transmitted, only now . . .) . . . there was nothing. I only heard my usual thoughts. Then I realized Kurama was walking toward me, an edge of concern in his voice.
". . . Hiei?" I tried my best to hide my eyes from his searching ones, but our gazes were at the same level . . . curse that baka detective and his height!! . . . so I merely kept my confused, currently brown, stare locked on the crack in the white sidewalk, vaguely aware of the emerald depths coming closer with each step, out of the corner of my eye.
"Hiei?" He asked again, standing directly in front of me. I swallowed a little, and managed to give a reply.
"H—hn . . ." D—n it!! My voice was choked, and sounded frail even to my OWN ears . . . I brought my eyes back to meet with his, for only an instant . . . at least . . . it SHOULD have been . . .
I was trapped the moment I saw the range of emotions lingering in his eyes.
Sorrow . . . . . . pity? . . . . . . concern . . . pain . . . and . . . . . . some depth of . . . affection . . .
Wait . . .
WHAT!?!
*~*~*~*~*~*
Hahaha!! In all my evilness I happened to end this chappie on a cliffhanger!! Muhahaha!!!

Kita: ^-^;;; Uh . . . err . . . no reason, really!! lol
Kura-kun: -.-;;
Yusuke: Hn. Baka sakusha.
Kita: ^-^ Yup! And PROUD of it!!

Kura-kun: *coughs, but it sounds suspiciously like a laugh*
Hiei: *veins pop* . . . LEAVE HER ALONE, YOU GUYS!!
Kita: *very surprised* . . . Y—Yusuke??
Hiei: *ignores her and keeps shouting* WE NEED HER TO GET US SWITCHED BACK, REMEMBER?!?!?
*Kura-kun stops laughing abruptly, realizing the truth in his words and Hi- kun starts scowling*
Yusuke: Hn. *is now glaring at her* The baka has a point . . . go write the next chapter, onna. NOW.
