Somebody New
Chapter Five
Near the end of the meeting, before they were all sent home, Koenma remembered to give Serena and Chaos a place to stay for their time on Earth. "Serena, Chaos, you will be staying in a nice house only about a block away from Yusuke." Koenma said. Both Yusuke and Serena gritted their teeth, but didn't say anything to protest.
"Alright," Chaos agreed.
"It's up to you two now if you want to go to high school with Yusuke and Kuwabara." He added. Chaos looked at Serena.
What do you think? he asked her.
No. I'm not going to school.
Why not?
You want to go? she asked, looking at like as if he was crazy.
Yeah. I'd rather do that than get a job or just sit at home. It's not like you have to pay attention in the classes or anything. It won't really matter. he said. This time, he could see the wheels in her head turning. It won't be that bad,
How would you know?
Serena!
Okay, okay, I'm sorry! I'll do it only if you will. she said looking up at him both skeptically and hopefully.
Chaos turned to Koenma, "We'll do it. Go to school, that is."
"Okay, we'll send money to you guys monthly so you will be able to pay bills, and have money for other things and such." Koenma explained and the two of them nodded. "You will start school in two days, and until then, I will have Boton, Yusuke, and Kuwabara show you around the town and how to get to school."
"What about-" Serena began when Chaos corrected her before she spoke.
Hiei and Kurama. Call them by their names.
"Hiei and Kurama?" she finished, glancing at Chaos quickly before looking back up at Koenma. "They don't go to school?"
"No. We chose not to go to their school when we had the chance." Kurama said in a quiet, soft tone.
"So what do you do during the day?" She asked them curiously.
"Sleep." Hiei answered. "And train." She nodded, than turned back to Koenma.
"So when do we start school?" she asked.
"Tomorrow." He answered. She sweat dropped.
That was fast. She thought, and Chaos laughed. She shot him a look.
"Alrighty then." She mumbled quietly.
"Good, than it's settled. Serena, Chaos, you're things have been dropped off at your new house. Boton, will you take them to their house?" he asked politely, standing up.
"Yes, sir." She said, standing up with everyone else as well. They all filed out of Koenma's office quietly, and were taken down to Earth. Arriving, the seven of them walked down the street quietly. It was a cool night, and the wind was blowing slightly. The silence between them all was slightly awkward, and it was obvious that no one was really trying to make it better.
"So..." Serena said slowly. "What's your school like?" she asked them.
"Stupid." Yusuke answered.
"Boring." Kuwabara said.
"Pointless."
"Smells weird."
"The principle's an asshole."
"Yeah. And the uniforms are itchy."
"Yup."
"Whoa! Wait, we have to wear uniforms??" Serena blurted. She looked at Chaos helplessly.
"That's why we don't go to school." Hiei stated.
Smart move. Serena telepathed to Chaos, who just smirked.
"Are there any hot girls?" Chaos asked and Serena's jaw dropped, as she stared at him in disbelief. He just grinned sheepishly at her and turned back to Yusuke and Kuwabara for the answer.
"Only Keiko." Yusuke said, trying to hide the faintest trace of a smile in his voice.
"But she's taken by Yusuke." Kuwabara added with a nod.
Boton rolled her eyes along with Serena. "You sound like a bunch of school girls gossiping." She said with a laugh.
"Thank you!" Serena agreed. "And you-" she said pointedly at Chaos. "Are a raging hormone disaster. I can't believe I have to live with you." He tilted his head back and laughed out loud, causing Boton smile at his laughter. After his laughter subsided, Serena brought up a good question.
"So where exactly is the school?"
"Across from the park." Kurama answered is his soft voice.
Silence.
"Where's the park?"
Chaos laughed again. "Shut up, it's not funny! What if we didn't know where it was tomorrow morning??" He shrugged and just kept smiling.
"Let's show you where it is now," Boton suggested, as they took a turn on a disserted street. They walked down, past the houses and apartments, bushes and trees until they reached a luscious green park that's entrance was to their left. Farther down the street, was the school, it's boring gray walls looking very ordinary with the lighting of the night.
"The hell hole." Yusuke said as they stopped in front of it and stared.
"Hn." Hiei answered. "Well that's it for me. See you weaklings later." He said, turning with Kurama and walking towards the park. He raised hand up, as if waiving, but than simply put it back down.
"ASS!" Yusuke barked after him.
"LET'S GO LITTLE MAN!" Kuwabara challenged, but Hiei ignored it. Kurama smiled and waved to them, particularly to Chaos, Boton and Serena, and Boton and Chaos waved back while Serena smirked.
Looks like they already have a Serena of the group, Chaos said to Serena, meaning Hiei.
Looks like it. she replied with a smirk. Her smirk faded when she saw Hiei and Kurama jump into a tree.
"YOU LIVE IN A TREE?!" she shouted after them as everyone else started walking back down the street, where they came from.
"C'mon, Rena!" Chaos called to her. She looked at the tree one last time, confused before running to catch up with them. After turned back down the road, they said bye to Kuwabara, who turned off onto his own street and to his house. Silence filled the air as they continued down the street. As they came up to a apartment building, Yusuke began to drift from the other three.
"Bye Boton," he said waving to her. She waved back. "See you tomorrow, Chaos." He said, than turned and kept on walked. Serena frowned and bowed her head sadly, dragging her feet as they walked down the sidewalk.
"He's so mean." She mumbled.
"He's mean?" Chaos asked with a laughed. "You were the one who called him a weakling!"
"Alright, I'll stop calling him a weakling!" She shouted, holding her hands up in surrender.
When they reached the house, Boton quickly showed them around and gave them keys to the house. Their stuff was placed in their rooms and there was already furniture in the living room, kitchen, and bathrooms. It was a cozy house for the two of them. As Boton left, she waved and smiled at the two of them. They shut the door behind her as she left and looked around at their new house.
"This is weird." Serena stated.
"It's cool." Chaos corrected with a grin. They looked at each other in silence before jumping up excitedly and running around.
"We have a house! We have a house!" they chanted over and over as they jumped on the couch together. As they finally calmed down and sat on the couch, breathing heavy from the running around, "I think I could get used to this." Chaos said thoughtfully, and laugher filled the house.
YAY! Chapter 5 is DONE! Hahahahahah, I like this chapter. So anyway, I think it's more obvious who Serena is starting to like, so you can take a guess, but of course I'm not gonna tell you because it wouldn't be a surprise if you don't or do know. Okay, so if you would please, review??? It'll make me really, really happy! Thanks a bunch to Psychotic Neko! Yeah, you know you're cool! All right, I feel like a complete moron right now because thanks to Diana-sama, I now know that Yusuke is a half-demon himself. I honestly didn't know that, and as of right now, it completely screws up my story. But so far, I haven't really gotten any complaints, so I'm not gonna go back and change it. Thank you soo much, Diana-sama, again. (And thank you for reviewing) I apparently haven't watched the anime in a while, but I honestly, swear-to-God, did not know that. So please bare with me and just pretend Yusuke isn't is half-demon. Please. And about Kurama and Hiei living in the tree bit...like I said before, I haven't seen the anime in a while, so I have no idea if they hinted or said where they live. I have an idea of where the living in the tree thing is going, and the only thing I can say right now is that they don't really live in a tree. Besides, this is my story. Right, then! Later!!
