Princess Kat: Hate the chapter. ~.~ Ahh, well, it's needed.
Disclaimer: Own nothing.
Thank you everybody for telling me Kuwabara's *first* name. Lol. Normally I
give a thank you to all the reviewers, but I s'pose I'll do it in the next
chapter.
Also, someone asked if Eikichi was the name of Kuwabara's cat. Yep, it was.
^.^ Lol.
~*~
"Stop staring at me." Kumi growled, glaring at Yamazaki and Eikichi.
"I can't believe she's really Hiei's brat." Eikichi said, not looking away
from Kumi.
"Do you think this means we have to 'befriend' her?" Yamazaki asked, also
not looking away.
"WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?!" Kumi yelled. "I'M STANDING RIGHT
HERE AND I CAN HERE EVERY FUCKING WORD THAT COMES OUT OF YOUR MOUTHS!!!"
"..."
"I don't think she knows." Eikichi pointed out.
"No shit, Sherlock." Yamazaki muttered.
"WOULD YOU MIND FILLING ME IN, BAKA NINGENS?!" Kumi shrieked.
"...all who think it's her special woman time." Eikichi muttered.
Yamazaki and Eikichi both raised their hands slightly and said "I."
Kumi's left eye twitched. "Why you..."
"I say we run."
"Right behind you."
With that, Yamazaki and Eikichi ran off. As dimwitted as they were, they
knew never to mess with a pissed off female.
"It's not my 'special woman time' anyway." Kumi growled to herself. "I'm
worse then." But she walked back towards the school, grabbing her bag when
she passed, and made her way to her next class considering that lunch was
more-or-less over now.
'Now why did those baka ningens stare at me when I told them about Dad?'
Kumi asked herself in thought.
~*~ After School ~*~
Kumi had pondered the actions of the two morons for the rest of the school
day, meaning she barely paid attention in class.
But she knew enough about what was going on in those baka classes anyway.
Sixth hour had been P.E. with Mrs. Anderson who, by the way, is short and
fat. She was making them do track and field, which Kumi excelled in. The
lady continued to tell them how much she loved track and field while the
girls ran their 1600-meter. Kumi doubted the lady ever ran the track in her
life.
Seventh hour was a class called 'Logic' with Mr. Bewley. He was an okay
teacher, kind of cool, but Logic class sucked. When are we going to need
'Ipse Dixit' in life? And, of course, there was homework. Do the exercise
on page 86. Ha! Bull.
Eighth hour was study hall with Mrs. Bewley. Mrs. Bewley was much quieter
than her husband (Mr. Bewley) which Kumi was thankful for. She had
pretended to read a book while she let her mind wander to other things.
Now Kumi was walking home to her apartment, her bag full of books she had
taken out of her locker to do homework in.
"Hey, Shorty."
Kumi growled as Yamazaki started to walk with her. "What do you want?"
"You're really Hiei's kid, huh?" Yamazaki asked.
"No, I'm his Mom." Kumi said sarcastically, rolling her eyes.
"My Dad knew your Dad. He told me all about it. They were...sorta friends."
Yamazaki told her.
"My Dad, and I myself for that matter, do not make it a habit to make
'friends' with morons." Kumi sneered.
"Whatever." Yamazaki stated. "See ya later, Shorty." With that, he turned
and ran off.
'Probably going to take crack.' Kumi thought grudgingly to herself, at the
same time knowing that he was just going back to hang out with Eikichi.
It wasn't a long walk from school to her apartment complex. Kumi dropped
her bag near the door when she got inside the apartment. It was completely
dark.
Kumi flipped on a light switch. She was standing in the living room.
Connected to the living room was a small kitchen and off to the side were
two doors, one to her room and the other to the bathroom.
Kumi walked to her room, swinging the door open and going inside. She dug
under her bed until she pulled out a small circular object. It was a
communicator to the spirit world.
'Should I talk to him?'
Kumi shoved the communicator back under her bed. "No." She told herself
firmly.
You see, Hiei still lived in the spirit world. But Kumi was not allowed to
stay here. The only link she had to her Dad was this communicator.
"I hate being stuck on Earth." Kumi muttered to herself as she climbed up
onto her bed. "I hate Dad. I hate Koenma. Koenma especially."
~*~ Flashback ~*~
Four-year old Kumi skipped after Hiei, a brilliant smile lighting up her
face. "Are we there yet, Daddy?"
Hiei didn't answer, but Kumi hadn't expected him to.
They soon stopped at a door and Hiei looked down at Kumi. "Stay here. Don't
run off. I'll be right back."
"Okay, Daddy!" Kumi chirped, plopping down on the floor.
Hiei opened the door and went in, closing it behind him.
Kumi hummed to herself, smiling the whole time, waiting for Hiei to come
back out.
Koenma had called up and demanded a meeting with Hiei. So he had gone to
talk to him.
After a few minutes, Hiei finally came back out.
"DADDY!" Kumi exclaimed as she jumped up and hugged his legs.
Hiei shook his head. "Let go."
Kumi pulled back and looked at him questioningly. "Daddy, what's wrong? You
not look happy..." Not that he ever looked happy, but he looked upset more
than usual.
"You are going down to Earth."
"W-what?" Kumi asked surprised. "I thought you didn't like it down there,
Daddy."
"You are going alone."
Alone...
~*~ End Flashback ~*~
No one had ever bothered to explain it to Kumi. She was just sent to Earth
without her Dad, no reason except that Koenma had said she must. And for
God's sake, they stuck her with a damn annoying nanny until she was 10.
There was another reason that she was sent to Earth though, Kumi knew it.
Hiei would never listen to Koenma unless there was a really good reason.
"Maybe he just wanted to get rid of me."
Kumi had thought about it often. Why was she on Earth? But truly, she had
no idea.
The first four years she was on Earth, Kumi would talk to her Dad over the
communicator whenever she could. It had been given to her by Botan. She had
truly missed her Dad. But in the last six years she called him less and
less. Actually, she hadn't talked to him since she had turned thirteen. Two
years...
Tears started to well up in her eyes but she blinked them back.
"Okay, so I miss him." Kumi admitted to herself.
Kumi heard a knock on the front door. She jumped up, thankful for a
distraction, and ran to answer it. "Ugh...what are YOU doing here? Wait,
I'll top that. How did you know I lived here?"
It was Yamazaki. He held out a black book. "Your photo album fell out of
your bag. Eikichi found it."
Kumi grabbed the black album, anger crossing her features. "IT WASN'T IN MY
BAG, IT WAS IN MY LOCKER!"
Yamazaki chuckled. "So we checked out your locker. We couldn't get it back
open and I decided to be a gentleman and bring it down here for ya."
Kumi studied him for a moment. "Your parents made you?"
"Yep."
"Whatever. Get out of here and if you EVER come near my apartment again,
you're dead." Kumi warned as she started to close the door.
"Hold up, Shorty." Yamazaki said, stopping the door with his hand. "I need
to use your phone."
"Don't have one. Get." Kumi stated, shoving his arm down and slamming the
door in his face.
"Bitch." Yamazaki muttered, knocking on the door again.
"GO AWAY, URAMESHI!" Kumi yelled.
"Err." Yamazaki stalked off. After walking three blocks, he stopped at a
pay phone. He picked up the phone, threw a few quarters into the machine,
and dialed a number.
A few rings went by before someone answer.
Yusuke (voice): 'Ello.
Yamazaki: Err...hi, Dad. Is that pick-up still available?
Yusuke: ¬.¬ I thought you were going to borrow money from the girl for the
bus. Who WAS she anyway?
Yamazaki: I'll tell you when you pick me up. I'm three blocks from her
apartment at the gas station. Five blocks from the school.
Yusuke: You can walk home. (crashes in the background and Keiko yelling)
@.@ I'm coming.
Yamazaki: ^_^ Tell Mom thanks.
Yusuke: Brat.
And Yamazaki hung up the phone. He went onto the sidewalk and sat on the
curb.
~*~ Meanwhile... ~*~
Kumi felt bad about kicking Yamazaki out now. She muttered something about
regretting it as she went outside to look for him.
After walking several blocks and getting ready to give up, she saw him
sitting on the curb in front of a gas station, watching cars go by. She
smirked as she snuck up on him.
Kumi got behind Yamazaki and kicked him in the back of the head.
"Ow! What the fuck?!" Yamazaki yelled, putting his hands on the back of his
head. He got up and turned to Kumi. "What did you do that for?!"
"Well..." Kumi said, smirking. "I was taking a walk when I saw you, a
horrible excuse of a living being by the way, and decided maybe we should
finish what we started at school. What do you say?"
Yamazaki was about to answer yes when a mini van stopped and pulled off the
road. The window rolled down and Keiko waved at Yamazaki and Kumi.
"Mom? I thought Dad was picking me up." Yamazaki muttered.
"Well, his vehicle broke down and you know how he refuses to drive the
van." Keiko sighed. "So, who is your friend?"
Kumi smiled. "My name is Kumi." She supposed Yamazaki's Mom wasn't that
bad. She could at least *act* nice around her.
Yamazaki draped his arm over Kumi's shoulders. "We all call her Shorty."
"Watch were you put that arm, baka ningen." Kumi said calmly.
"And if I don't?"
Kumi was about to slam him into the side of the mini van when Keiko
interrupted.
"Yamazaki, stop harassing her and get in the car." Keiko laughed.
Yamazaki removed his arm and opened the door to the mini van, climbing in
and closing it. "See you at school, Shorty."
"Whatever." Kumi muttered, heading back to her apartment complex.
"Is she your girlfriend, Yamazaki?" Keiko teased, getting back onto the
road.
"A snowball's chance in Hell." Yamazaki stated.
"Your Father said that when someone asked if he liked me." Keiko continued
to tease.
"Yeah, but Dad's a moron."
"And people say you're like him."
"Your point?"
"You called yourself a moron."
"..."
Keiko laughed. "Anyway, she looked familiar."
Yamazaki shrugged. He wouldn't tell his Mom that Kumi was Hiei's daughter.
He was only going to share this information with his Dad. "Maybe you say
her at the store."
"Maybe..." Keiko sighed. "But I doubt it."
~*~ With Kumi ~*~
Kumi walked into her apartment, muttering things to herself when she
noticed all the lights were turned off. "I thought I left them on." She
reached for the light switch when a hand covered hers.
"Hello, Kumi."
~*~
Princess Kat: Dun, dun, dun. Lol. I guess Kurama's daughter is coming in
the -next- chapter. Please review, thanks! More title suggestions would be
nice, I want a few choices to choose from.
Princess Kat: Also...now we know Kumi's not completely like Hiei-sama. She
was at least polite to Keiko. Maybe she inherited something from her Momma.
Lol.
