A/N: Hi there again! It's been a while hasn't it? I'm sorry for not
updating again after a long time...My computer died, so now, I have a new
one! Yeah! ^___^ Anyway, I'm finally here again after a long time with
another chapter! And don't worry Vegetaz-Girl, I won't write anything yaoi
or shounen-ai related in NDCT! ^___^ I just said that earlier b/c my friend
Jason (Animejx) wrote a review and it had yaoi-related stuff in it. Ah, but
don't worry, I already punched him...well, a couple of times now already.
Hmmm...and if he does write in another review that's shounen-ai-ish, he'll
be hearing more 'yaoi talk' from me! Almost every single day now he has
been hearing that, bwahahaha ^___^ ANYWAYZ! Let's start now! Thank you
everyone for writing in those very nice reviews! ^^ oh and have you guessed
that Yusuke was a vampire? Hmmm, well, he might or might not be; There'll
be lil' surprise for him later on! So don't jump to conclusions now. I know
that I put in some signs of him might being one. But who knows? Heh, now I
will start the chappie off with Hiei! ^^
P.s: when you review after you've read this chapter, please give me an answer to: should I turn NDCT into 3 parts? Like, there are three parts in it (kinda like LOTR, but different) or just keep it the way it is? Anyway, just tell me in your review.

CHAPTER EIGHT: A New Acquaintance
*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_
The bell rang twice for school to begin. Everyone was sitting down in their seats, waiting for Mr. Kawamoto to appear through the door. And so he did four minutes later. Botan had fallen 'asleep' again and she didn't know that Kurama was watching her silently with an odd expression written upon his face. When Mr. Kawamoto walked, another person followed right behind him. "Good morning, everyone," he greeted, "today we have another student joining us." The new student that he was talking about was very quiet. He had spiky, black hair and crimson eyes (a/n: we all know who he is, right?) "This here is Hiei. He had just been enrolled to our school. He's also the cousin of Kurama."
Everyone (except Botan) turned their heads towards Kurama, finding it hard to believe that this little guy was actually Kurama's cousin.
Hiei, on the other hand, appeared to be annoyed by all of this non-sense. He was there to search for the Elemental Witches and only that, nothing else should be involved. He was still standing there quietly in front of the classroom when Mr. Kawamoto continued on with introducing the boy.
"Hiei, how about you tell us a little bit about yourself? We would really like to get to know you."
The crimson-eyed boy remained mute; he didn't say a word. All the way in the back, he saw Kurama. He made a low growl when he saw Kurama smirk at him. He then tried to reach into the other vampire's mind but he was soon interrupted by Kawamoto.
"Well now, Hiei, if you would, please take a seat in the desk in front of Botan," he said to him.
Hiei walked to the desk and saw Botan asleep. He raised an eyebrow when he saw her. 'Is she really asleep?' he asked himself.
'So, what's going on?' someone asked him in his mind.
'Why would you want to know? You made me go through this crap even though I didn't want to,' Hiei complained.
'My, aren't you in a "lousy" mood today,' Kurama replied.
'Whatever. This job would've been easier if I didn't do this.'
Kurama then laughed in return.
Hiei began to look around the room while Kawamoto talked. He watched every girl that he could find and peered into their thoughts, trying to read their minds. There was a piece of information that he hadn't told Kurama yet; either that or he didn't want to tell him. But there was another and easier way to find the Elemental Witches, and that way was through their minds'. If you can read her mind, then she is not one of them, she is just a mere mortal girl; however, if you CAN'T read her mind because you are 'blocked', then what luck...You have found an Elemental...or another supernatural being that happens to be very powerful.
The crimson-eyed one didn't tell his partner about this. Why? Maybe he wanted all of the credit of finding the Elementals all by himself. Or, it's because if he found them on his own without the help of his other group members, he would have gotten a wish – a wish to be reunited with his sister. He would have gone to his mother but she had died long ago for she had committed suicide after her only two children were taken away from her. But that was then and this is now, a thing from the past. His sister is now his priority – she has a choice of converting from what she is now into a Kurokiba. If she chooses to be a Kurokiba she would be able to help destroy the enemies of the Black Fangs. However...that is IF he finds the Elementals.
Hiei continued to look around the classroom, trying to peer into the minds of each girl. After a while, he had finally reached into the mind of the girl who sat across from him: Keiko Yukimura. Easily without any effort, he began to read her thoughts. Something about what she was thinking of had interested him. By this, he began to linger in her mind.
* * *
The brown-eyed girl was watching Mr. Kawamoto lecturing on about something but she was off somewhere in another place, as if she was daydreaming. She imagined herself wearing a yellow summer-dress and wearing a large brimmed hat on her head. She was walking down barefoot along a peaceful beach. As she was walking near the water and on top of the wet sand, she heard her name being called by a familiar voice. The girl turned around and covered her eyes from the setting sun; she then saw who the caller was. She smiled, her eyes becoming bright with happiness. She began to run towards that person, water was splashing everywhere as she ran. She ran all the way into the arms of Yusuke. "Yusuke!" she cried out joyfully.
Yusuke wrapped his strong arms around Keiko, hugging her closely and tightly to him. "Keiko........." he whispered into her ear. She too was holding him tightly to her as well, as if she had never held him before.
"Yusuke..." she said slowly and happily.
"Keiko..." he began to say, "I want you...I...I need you..."
Keiko looked into his dark brown eyes after he had said this. He was moving his head closer to her neck. "Yusuke...." She then closed her eyes as her heart began to beat hard within her chest. She knew what was going to happen; she had seen this happen many times before. "Yusuke...why...now?" she asked but her words began to die away when she felt a sharp pain on the side of her neck. She winced in pain and gasped. "Yu...suke..."
"It'll be alright...It won't hurt anymore," Yusuke said to her as he pierced his canines into her skin. "It'll soon be over...."
"Yu....suke," she cried. "YUSUKE!!" she was standing up when she yelled out his name, her hands were slammed against her desk and tears were in her eyes. She blinked twice and looked around her. Everyone in the whole room was staring at her, even Yusuke. He was raising an eyebrow. "Uh...." Keiko began to turn red. "Excuse me!" she said as she sat back down. She started to write down on a piece of paper.
* * *
"Hmm..." Hiei said while he watched the girl go down in her seat. He saw what she was dreaming about, he saw who she cried out for, and he saw how she felt for him and what was in her heart. Though, somehow, she knew that Yusuke was not what he appeared to be. Was it a premonition of her near future? It couldn't be...She is not an Elemental Witch or any type of being that holds any power.
'Hiei,' Kurama called out to him, 'what are you doing?'
'Nothing,' he lied back mentally. He began to search again but the bell rang for the next class to change. Mr. Kawamoto's class had PE next. Everyone began to get up and put their stuff away so that no one would steal anything.
Yukina was trying to wake up a sleeping Botan and Keiko was just standing up and looking down. Her face was no longer red with embarrassment. Yusuke was already gone; Sango and Kagome had both left together.
"Hiei, we have to go now," Kurama said as he waited by the door. He had then left and Hiei had soon followed, but as he was doing so, he felt a strong power coming over him.
"Nani?" he said aloud. He was out of the room already but the power was very strong, stronger than his own power. Whose power does it belong to? It surely didn't belong to a vampire or a Kurokiba, and it certainly didn't belong to a witch of any kind. It could only mean one thing: demon. There was demon in the school, hiding among the students. "Kurama, do you feel it?"
Kurama was walking ahead of Hiei and soon he had stopped. "Yes," he replied. "It was strong a moment ago; though now it has become faint. The source of this power is moving quickly."
"Kurama!" someone called from the end of the hallway. Kurama hear his name and turned around to the caller. It was Kagome. Kagome was standing with Sango. She began to walk towards him.
Hiei watched the girl walking over to them. The way she looked reminded him of someone that he had once known. 'Kurama, she looks like Kikyou,' he said to him mentally.
'I know,' Kurama answered.
'But Kikyou died over almost two centuries ago, how can that be?' he asked.
'I don't know, but....I think that her soul has been reborn again in that body...'
'Reincarnation?'
Kurama nodded his head. 'I believe so, yes.'
"Kurama!" Kagome called out again, this time she was right in front of Kurama and Hiei. She then grabbed Kurama's right hand. "Say, Kurama," she began, "are you free today after school?"
"Huh? What do you mean?"
"Uh...I mean, do you want to come with me, Sango and her boyfriend Miroku, to Osaka Pizza? That's if you're free today after school." When she asked this, it could be seen that her eyes were pleading for a 'yes'. She then looked at Hiei, who was standing quietly behind Kurama. "Oh, Hiei," she began with a smile. Hiei looked up. "Do you want to come with us too, if you're free today after school?" she asked him.
"Hn...Whatever," he responded.
"So, is that a yes or a no?" she asked again.
Hiei didn't answer for a moment when he looked up and saw Sango at the other end of the hallway. 'Hmm...' he said to himself. 'Fresh blood...' He grinned when he saw her, waiting for her blood to be drained from her precious body. "Just wait for me and I'll be there," he said to Kagome.
Kagome smiled, happy to know that Hiei would be coming. "Great."
Kurama, on the other hand, was suspicious of his companion's answer and of the grin that he had just shown over his face. But Kagome interrupted his thoughts. "What about you, Kurama? Will you be coming along too?" He hesitated and then nodded. He was concerned of what would happen if Hiei went on his own with these innocent people, especially with the reincarnation of Kikyou. Things could and would definitely get out of hand if he didn't go with them.
"Sure! Why not? I'll come with you too!" he said with enthusiasm in his tone of voice.
Kagome's face had lightened up with happiness. "Really?"
"Yes, really."
"Oh, thanks so much, Kurama! And you too, Hiei!" After giving Kurama a hug (a/n: didn't she seem a bit desperate to you by her answer? I think she does.), she left, leaving the two by themselves. She and Sango had then gone to get ready for PE.
When the two were gone and out of sight, Kurama turned to Hiei. "What were you thinking just then? And what were you grinning about?"
"Feh, it's none of your business, Kurama," Hiei answered coldly. "Now if you don't mind, I'm going to the roof to take a nap." A few seconds later, he disappeared. Kurama shook his head. How everything has changed, he doesn't know why. It seems as though that Hiei was the one who was beginning to slack off, not him.
'Strange,' he thought as he walked down the hallway to his next class, 'it appears as though we've changed now.'
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
"So, he said 'yes'? And his cousin will be coming with us too?" Sango asked the girl sitting next to her. "Was that why you seemed so happy after talking to them?"
"Yeah, he said that he'll be able to come with us to the pizza parlor today after school," answered Kagome.
"But what about Koaru, have you forgotten about her already?"
Kagome didn't respond for a few seconds until she finally spoke up. "Don't worry. Once I have said that I'll make her murderers pay, I WILL make them pay and wish that they've never been born," she said cheerfully. "But in the mean time, I'm just glad that Kurama and Hiei will be coming with us today."
Sango became worried about her best friend. Kagome was strangely cheerful and happy all of a sudden. This wasn't like her, not at all. Was she just hiding her true emotions with a deceiving face? Possibly yes. Why would she be like this after a girl they've both known since early childhood, had died? Instead of morning over the death, she's out looking for a date with Kurama. Was she just trying to run away from the sadness or something? This was something that Sango does not know the answer to, not even for her best friend, she does not know...
"Kagome?"
"Hmm?"
"Uh..." Sango began but hesitated. She couldn't tell her friend about how she is, she just couldn't tell her. "Um...nothing. Never-mind; I forgot what I was going to tell you," she lied quickly.
"'Kay."
The sun was shining brightly and it was a cool spring morning. The sakura blossoms were beginning to bloom and it'll be a lovely sight to see them when they fall down to the ground, almost like as if it would be snowing with cherry blossoms. Sango remembers a time when she was with Miroku one day, when they had first begun dating each other; he had taken her to the park and had witnessed the pink leaves falling down. It was a beautiful and romantic time to be with him. She wanted that memory to stay with her all the time...and it has been. She wonders if Miroku will take her again to the park this year, it'll be like an anniversary of when they first said that they had both loved each other. Sango began to smile a daydreaming smile.
"Sango," whispered Kagome. "Do you see her? The PE teacher?"
"Huh?" she asked, shaking her mind out of her past memory. "What? Where?"
"Down there." Kagome pointed towards the direction of the new teacher. Sango followed her finger and saw her.
"That's her?"
"Yeah."
"How do you know?"
"Because she came out of the PE department just a few seconds ago."
"Ah, okay."
The teacher walked towards the class, who were all sitting down on the benches in their regular school uniforms. She looked really young to be a PE teacher, but that didn't matter for the boys in that class. Now they're probably having perverted thoughts going through their minds after looking at her once. "Hello, everyone. I am your new gym teacher, Miss Hirada," she greeted to the students. "I'm guessing that this is your first year in high school, am I correct?" No one answered. "Well, I guess this'll be an easy class this year for me, you guys are quiet," she laughed. "I guess I'll just call the roll now." She then began to call the names one by one.
Kagome leaned over to Sango to tell her something. "Our teacher looks really young, doesn't she?" she asked.
Sango nodded her head as a response.
"How old do you think she is?"
"I don't – How should I know?"
Kagome didn't hear her; she was in her own world now. Probably daydreaming about a guy again. Sango raised an eyebrow, shrugged her shoulders and yawned.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Botan looked at wrists. The red marks that were there were beginning to a fade a bit. She was confused, how could this have happened? It was only a dream, but how could a dream cause this sort of pain to her?
"Oh my god! Botan! What happened to your wrists? They weren't there yesterday!" Yukina exclaimed quietly.
Botan turned and saw Yukina peering over her shoulder. "Um...uh, hey, Yukina," she said.
"What happened to your wrists?
"Oh nothing. I accidentally wrapped a rubber band around my wrists really tightly and forgot to set them loose after a while."
"Are you sure? You don't need to go to the infirmary?"
"Yeah, I'm sure."
"Okay..."
Botan turned around to the face the front again. "Botan Daioh!" Miss Hirada called out. "Botan Daioh, are you here today?"
"Here!" Botan called out when she raised her hand up high. "I'm here!"
Miss Hirada saw her and checked her name off, and then she continued on with the list. After a few minutes, she called out another name: Jaganshi Hiei. "Jaganshi Hiei!" No one answered, so she continued.
Botan and Yukina had heard the name. "Jaganshi?" they both asked in unison.
"Hiei has the same last name as you, Yukina!" said Botan.
"Yeah...he does..." Yukina replied quietly.
"Jaganshi Yukina!" Miss Hirada called out.
"Uh, here!" Yukina answered back.
Miss Hirada checked off her name and then continued once again.
"His last name is Jaganshi also, do you think he's that twin brother you were talking about yesterday?" asked Botan.
"I highly doubt that, Botan..."
"Why is that so?"
"He didn't seem like it. I mean, I would've had a weird feeling when I saw him." Yukina wasn't saying the truth, when she saw Hiei in class, she felt as she had known him before from somewhere. His presence was so familiar, but Yukina didn't want to accept the fact that he could be her brother.
"Are you sure?"
Yukina paused. "...Yes..."
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
From on top of the school's rooftop, two crimson-colored eyes watched down below. He saw his 'class' and saw Sango. He licked his lips when he saw the vein in her neck. A Kurokiba has an eyesight for almost two miles of distance. The vein was there and he could see it very clearly. He couldn't wait to taste her rich blood. During this little thought, the power that he had sensed before, returned and overwhelmed him.
"What the hell?" he questioned. "Where is this demon coming from?"
Hiei closed his eyes and tried to find Kurama to contact him. 'Kurama!' No answer came in return. 'Kurama!' Still no answer came. Kurama must've blocked his mind so that nobody would speak to him, especially Hiei. 'Crap!'
The vampire cursed and gave up with trying to contact Kurama. He then tried to locate the demon that was hiding within the school. After a moment had passed, he had located its where-about. He grinned when he found him. "Now it's time for a little blood-bath." Throughout his life of being a vampire, he had always loved a good kill, hunting down his frightened prey; he was a predator and never will he be the one being hunted down like some wild animal. He never cared once for his prey, they didn't mean anything to him. Though you would begin to wonder, has he ever had a love to call his own? He might've had one, over two centuries ago, but who knows?
Hiei had soon disappeared...
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Class for PE was over; it was only for few minutes after roll call. Sango and Kagome were walking together (a/n: as usual) to Mr. Kawamoto's class and lunch was still a long way to go, so for their next class, it's World History. As they were walking, Kagome saw someone in front of them and she raised an eyebrow when she saw him. He had long raven-black hair.
Sango saw him walking ahead of them too. 'I've never seen a guy with long black hair before, only seen long red hair. This is new,' she thought. 'Wonder what he looks like.'
As if he had heard her thoughts, the boy turned around. Kagome stopped walking and gazed at him. He had such pretty violet-colored eyes and he had a handsome face. Almost better than Kurama! "Oh, hi there ladies, I'm new here and I'm looking for this classroom," he smiled. "I was wondering if you would please help me look for this room." He walked towards them and Kagome was still in awe. He handed the paper that was in his hands to Sango.
Sango took the paper calmly and looked at it. She saw his name, age and class number. "Inya Arashi," she said aloud. "Welcome to our high school, you'll be in, I think, Ms. Ayame's class. It's the classroom next to ours'." She handed him back the paper. "Come with us, we'll show you the way."
"Thank you very much, uh..."
"I'm Sango Hidaka and this is my friend Kagome Higurashi."
"Ah, okay," he smiled again. "I'm Inya Arashi."
"It's very nice to meet you," Kagome finally greeted, still gazing at him. She was lost within his beautiful violet-colored eyes.
"Yes, same here," Inya replied while he was also gazing into her own sapphire-blue eyes. Violet and sapphire were locked together, unable to look the other way. He smiled at her and she smiled back.
Sango looked at the two and sighed; she had to break the silence! "Okay, you two! We've got to go now; we're going to be late."
"Yeah, we'll be right there, Sango," Kagome replied, still smiling back to Inya.
Sango sighed again and grabbed Kagome's arm. "Let's go now! We're going to be late and Inya will be too!"
"'Kay!"
Then the three were off but along the way, they were stopped. Hiei stood in their way. "Oh, hi there, Hiei," Sango greeted, "ready to go to our next class?"
Hiei didn't respond to her question. He just stared at the three quietly, then left.
"Huh? What just happened there?" Kagome asked Sango. "What did Hiei just do there?"
"I don't know..." Sango said; she found that little incident to be a bit odd. "Okay, anyway, let's go now."
"Yeah," Kagome replied. "Let's go, Inya."
The three had then left to go to their classes.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Inya saw the boy that was ahead of them earlier today, his eyes were of a crimson red and he has never seen such a color from a human before. Unless, he was a human or not, then this would be a different situation for him. He sighed as he watched Ms. Ayame talk on about chemistry and that sort of stuff. The girls that escorted him earlier were nice. Sango was pretty, but Kagome had grabbed his attention towards her face. He's never seen a face like hers before, and he was quite taken when he had first seen her. The way her raven-black hair crowned her beautiful face and the way her sapphire-blue eyes sparkled when she looked at him. Oh my, he's starting to fall in love with Kagome Higurashi and he had just met her!
"Inya Arashi!" Ms. Ayame called out as she looked down at the piece of paper that was in her hands. "You're needed at the front office. Someone is here to see you, I believe."
Inya got up from his seat and got the paper from the teacher and left.
"Who could be calling me out?" he asked himself. "I'm just a 'new' student here, I haven't done anything wrong...yet." He smirked at the thought.
As he was walking, someone behind him had called out. "What are you doing here, demon?" he yelled.
Inya stopped walking; the smirk that was written upon his lips was still there. "Demon? Where? I don't see a demon here?" he said as he turned around slowly to face the speaker. He saw who the caller was; it was the same person that he saw earlier when he was with Sango and Kagome. "Oh me, oh my," he began, "we meet again."
"Enough talk!" Hiei snapped. "What are you doing here?"
"What am I doing here?" Inya asked. "But first, who says that I'm a demon?"
Hiei began to growl. "I said enough. Enough with your innocent talk! If you're here for the Elemental Witches then go somewhere else! We Kurokiba had already claimed to destroy them ourselves!"
Inya grinned. "The Kurokiba? The legendary race of vampire?"
Hiei remained silent.
"Hmm, I'd never thought of actually meeting one in person," he laughed. "This is a real good opportunity for me to actually kill one of the most powerful beings on this planet. It's a very rare chance to kill a Kurokiba, especially for me."
"I know that this is not your real form, demon," Hiei said coldly. "Show your true form!"
Inya put his hands in his pockets and shook his head with a small laugh. "Feh, why would I want to do that here? Many people will notice the change," he said.
Hiei narrowed his eyes as he felt for the knife that was hidden in his shirt. "Whatever, if you don't then I guess that I won't enjoy the challenge of killing you. What a waste."
Inya heard him and narrowed his eyes as well. "You want a challenge, eh?" he asked. "Then I might as well give you one."
"Great." Hiei grabbed for the hidden knife and took it out. But as he did so, Inya began to look different. His hair was beginning to change from black to a lighter color and his violet eyes were beginning to turn into amber. He was even beginning to grow claws on his hands and fangs in his mouth. This transformation was a bit slow, so Hiei smirked and ran towards Inya, getting ready to stab him with his knife.
He raised his arm so that he could aim for Inya's eyes. But Inya saw him and grabbed his arm. "It's a bit unfair to attack someone who's not ready for battle yet," he said.
While still holding onto his arm, Inya threw Hiei towards the other end of the hallway. His transformation had completed. His hair was silvery- white, his eyes now a golden-brown color, he had a set of claws and fangs, he no longer had human ears like before, instead, he had a pair of 'dog' ears on his head. He heard Hiei hiss when he landed on the cold floor with his new set of ears and he smirked again. "Heh, how's the challenge so far?" he asked.
Hiei slowly got up from the floor and flashed a deadly smile. "I think this'll be quite fun."
"Same here, I think this'll be an interesting morning."
"So, you got a name?"
Inya smiled in return. "Yeah," he began, "the name's Inuyasha. You?"
"Well, Inuyasha," Hiei started, "the name's Hiei."
"Nice to meet you, but sadly," said Inuyasha, "you're going to have to die very soon."
"I would say the same thing, but it'll be you who's going to die." With that, Hiei ran again towards Inuyasha with the knife still in his hands. He was quick when he reached his opponent; however, Inuyasha was a bit quicker. Hiei tried to stab him with different thrusts to the sides and front, but he missed. He grinded his teeth because of the misses and once again he tried to strike.
Inuyasha grabbed his arm again and threw him to the end of the hallway once again. He grinned again when he heard Hiei land on the hard surface. "Had enough yet?"
Hiei got up again, determined to not lose against this demon. "Nope, not yet; don't even think that I'm going to be giving up yet."
"Oh, is that so? Well then, I guess I'll have to use this," he said as he pulled out a small knife. The knife that he was holding had soon turned into a katana. "This here is what I call "The Tetsusaiga," he explained. "This katana can turn into a larger sword, but when it does, it could cause some problems to the school, and we wouldn't want anything to happen to our school, now do we?"
"Heh, let's continue now, shall we?"
"Fine." Inuyasha prepared himself for Hiei's attack. "Come and get me."
Hiei ran again towards Inuyasha, knife in hand. When he reached him, he swung his arm to strike him. Still he missed but when he finally was able to hit Inuyasha, he got ready to stab him. "Here comes the kill!" he yelled.
Inuyasha smiled and pushed his katana forward. Hiei's eyes became wide as the sound of flesh being pierced rang through his ears. "What?" he asked slowly when he saw blood fly across his eyes. He looked at Inuyasha, he was quiet and the smirk that was once there had disappeared. Then he looked down, blood was dripping everywhere onto the floor...

A/N: Soo!! How was it? Hm, I think this chapter was a bit off. I guess for not writing for about a month kinda slowed me down a bit. I think. Anywho, tell me what you guys think about this chapter when you review! ^____^ I also apologize again for not updating any sooner. -_- Oh and I will NOT write any yaoi related stuff in this fic! ^^ Well, I guess I'd better go now and also, don't forget that when you post a review, please answer this question: should I make NDCT into 3 parts or leave it as one part? Well, tell me and I'll make a decision depending on how many reviews for it I get. ^____^ oh and 5 for this chapter, I will update as soon as I can. Ah, and have you noticed the few little bad words in there? It's not really bad, but I just put them in there b/c it seems to be more Hiei's character to curse a bit (duh! He does cuss in the original T_T. but that makes him, him! ^^) Oh and don't jump to conclusions just yet! ^^ Also, when I said that characters will be OOC, I meant it ^^ I so totally did not make sense in this a/n. T_T and for the names in here, like their last names, Arashi is from X, and I don't own it. Hirada is from D.N.Angel and I also don't own that and a couple of others. I also know that Hidaka isn't Sango's last name, so just play along w/it, please? Hmm, what else, if you guys have any questions, just ask in your review.
Well, I'll let you guys go now. I'm going to watch GTO now!
Byes! ^________________^
P.s: when you review after you've read this chapter, please give me an answer to: should I turn NDCT into 3 parts? Like, there are three parts in it (kinda like LOTR, but different) or just keep it the way it is? Anyway, just tell me in your review.

CHAPTER EIGHT: A New Acquaintance
*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_
The bell rang twice for school to begin. Everyone was sitting down in their seats, waiting for Mr. Kawamoto to appear through the door. And so he did four minutes later. Botan had fallen 'asleep' again and she didn't know that Kurama was watching her silently with an odd expression written upon his face. When Mr. Kawamoto walked, another person followed right behind him. "Good morning, everyone," he greeted, "today we have another student joining us." The new student that he was talking about was very quiet. He had spiky, black hair and crimson eyes (a/n: we all know who he is, right?) "This here is Hiei. He had just been enrolled to our school. He's also the cousin of Kurama."
Everyone (except Botan) turned their heads towards Kurama, finding it hard to believe that this little guy was actually Kurama's cousin.
Hiei, on the other hand, appeared to be annoyed by all of this non-sense. He was there to search for the Elemental Witches and only that, nothing else should be involved. He was still standing there quietly in front of the classroom when Mr. Kawamoto continued on with introducing the boy.
"Hiei, how about you tell us a little bit about yourself? We would really like to get to know you."
The crimson-eyed boy remained mute; he didn't say a word. All the way in the back, he saw Kurama. He made a low growl when he saw Kurama smirk at him. He then tried to reach into the other vampire's mind but he was soon interrupted by Kawamoto.
"Well now, Hiei, if you would, please take a seat in the desk in front of Botan," he said to him.
Hiei walked to the desk and saw Botan asleep. He raised an eyebrow when he saw her. 'Is she really asleep?' he asked himself.
'So, what's going on?' someone asked him in his mind.
'Why would you want to know? You made me go through this crap even though I didn't want to,' Hiei complained.
'My, aren't you in a "lousy" mood today,' Kurama replied.
'Whatever. This job would've been easier if I didn't do this.'
Kurama then laughed in return.
Hiei began to look around the room while Kawamoto talked. He watched every girl that he could find and peered into their thoughts, trying to read their minds. There was a piece of information that he hadn't told Kurama yet; either that or he didn't want to tell him. But there was another and easier way to find the Elemental Witches, and that way was through their minds'. If you can read her mind, then she is not one of them, she is just a mere mortal girl; however, if you CAN'T read her mind because you are 'blocked', then what luck...You have found an Elemental...or another supernatural being that happens to be very powerful.
The crimson-eyed one didn't tell his partner about this. Why? Maybe he wanted all of the credit of finding the Elementals all by himself. Or, it's because if he found them on his own without the help of his other group members, he would have gotten a wish – a wish to be reunited with his sister. He would have gone to his mother but she had died long ago for she had committed suicide after her only two children were taken away from her. But that was then and this is now, a thing from the past. His sister is now his priority – she has a choice of converting from what she is now into a Kurokiba. If she chooses to be a Kurokiba she would be able to help destroy the enemies of the Black Fangs. However...that is IF he finds the Elementals.
Hiei continued to look around the classroom, trying to peer into the minds of each girl. After a while, he had finally reached into the mind of the girl who sat across from him: Keiko Yukimura. Easily without any effort, he began to read her thoughts. Something about what she was thinking of had interested him. By this, he began to linger in her mind.
* * *
The brown-eyed girl was watching Mr. Kawamoto lecturing on about something but she was off somewhere in another place, as if she was daydreaming. She imagined herself wearing a yellow summer-dress and wearing a large brimmed hat on her head. She was walking down barefoot along a peaceful beach. As she was walking near the water and on top of the wet sand, she heard her name being called by a familiar voice. The girl turned around and covered her eyes from the setting sun; she then saw who the caller was. She smiled, her eyes becoming bright with happiness. She began to run towards that person, water was splashing everywhere as she ran. She ran all the way into the arms of Yusuke. "Yusuke!" she cried out joyfully.
Yusuke wrapped his strong arms around Keiko, hugging her closely and tightly to him. "Keiko........." he whispered into her ear. She too was holding him tightly to her as well, as if she had never held him before.
"Yusuke..." she said slowly and happily.
"Keiko..." he began to say, "I want you...I...I need you..."
Keiko looked into his dark brown eyes after he had said this. He was moving his head closer to her neck. "Yusuke...." She then closed her eyes as her heart began to beat hard within her chest. She knew what was going to happen; she had seen this happen many times before. "Yusuke...why...now?" she asked but her words began to die away when she felt a sharp pain on the side of her neck. She winced in pain and gasped. "Yu...suke..."
"It'll be alright...It won't hurt anymore," Yusuke said to her as he pierced his canines into her skin. "It'll soon be over...."
"Yu....suke," she cried. "YUSUKE!!" she was standing up when she yelled out his name, her hands were slammed against her desk and tears were in her eyes. She blinked twice and looked around her. Everyone in the whole room was staring at her, even Yusuke. He was raising an eyebrow. "Uh...." Keiko began to turn red. "Excuse me!" she said as she sat back down. She started to write down on a piece of paper.
* * *
"Hmm..." Hiei said while he watched the girl go down in her seat. He saw what she was dreaming about, he saw who she cried out for, and he saw how she felt for him and what was in her heart. Though, somehow, she knew that Yusuke was not what he appeared to be. Was it a premonition of her near future? It couldn't be...She is not an Elemental Witch or any type of being that holds any power.
'Hiei,' Kurama called out to him, 'what are you doing?'
'Nothing,' he lied back mentally. He began to search again but the bell rang for the next class to change. Mr. Kawamoto's class had PE next. Everyone began to get up and put their stuff away so that no one would steal anything.
Yukina was trying to wake up a sleeping Botan and Keiko was just standing up and looking down. Her face was no longer red with embarrassment. Yusuke was already gone; Sango and Kagome had both left together.
"Hiei, we have to go now," Kurama said as he waited by the door. He had then left and Hiei had soon followed, but as he was doing so, he felt a strong power coming over him.
"Nani?" he said aloud. He was out of the room already but the power was very strong, stronger than his own power. Whose power does it belong to? It surely didn't belong to a vampire or a Kurokiba, and it certainly didn't belong to a witch of any kind. It could only mean one thing: demon. There was demon in the school, hiding among the students. "Kurama, do you feel it?"
Kurama was walking ahead of Hiei and soon he had stopped. "Yes," he replied. "It was strong a moment ago; though now it has become faint. The source of this power is moving quickly."
"Kurama!" someone called from the end of the hallway. Kurama hear his name and turned around to the caller. It was Kagome. Kagome was standing with Sango. She began to walk towards him.
Hiei watched the girl walking over to them. The way she looked reminded him of someone that he had once known. 'Kurama, she looks like Kikyou,' he said to him mentally.
'I know,' Kurama answered.
'But Kikyou died over almost two centuries ago, how can that be?' he asked.
'I don't know, but....I think that her soul has been reborn again in that body...'
'Reincarnation?'
Kurama nodded his head. 'I believe so, yes.'
"Kurama!" Kagome called out again, this time she was right in front of Kurama and Hiei. She then grabbed Kurama's right hand. "Say, Kurama," she began, "are you free today after school?"
"Huh? What do you mean?"
"Uh...I mean, do you want to come with me, Sango and her boyfriend Miroku, to Osaka Pizza? That's if you're free today after school." When she asked this, it could be seen that her eyes were pleading for a 'yes'. She then looked at Hiei, who was standing quietly behind Kurama. "Oh, Hiei," she began with a smile. Hiei looked up. "Do you want to come with us too, if you're free today after school?" she asked him.
"Hn...Whatever," he responded.
"So, is that a yes or a no?" she asked again.
Hiei didn't answer for a moment when he looked up and saw Sango at the other end of the hallway. 'Hmm...' he said to himself. 'Fresh blood...' He grinned when he saw her, waiting for her blood to be drained from her precious body. "Just wait for me and I'll be there," he said to Kagome.
Kagome smiled, happy to know that Hiei would be coming. "Great."
Kurama, on the other hand, was suspicious of his companion's answer and of the grin that he had just shown over his face. But Kagome interrupted his thoughts. "What about you, Kurama? Will you be coming along too?" He hesitated and then nodded. He was concerned of what would happen if Hiei went on his own with these innocent people, especially with the reincarnation of Kikyou. Things could and would definitely get out of hand if he didn't go with them.
"Sure! Why not? I'll come with you too!" he said with enthusiasm in his tone of voice.
Kagome's face had lightened up with happiness. "Really?"
"Yes, really."
"Oh, thanks so much, Kurama! And you too, Hiei!" After giving Kurama a hug (a/n: didn't she seem a bit desperate to you by her answer? I think she does.), she left, leaving the two by themselves. She and Sango had then gone to get ready for PE.
When the two were gone and out of sight, Kurama turned to Hiei. "What were you thinking just then? And what were you grinning about?"
"Feh, it's none of your business, Kurama," Hiei answered coldly. "Now if you don't mind, I'm going to the roof to take a nap." A few seconds later, he disappeared. Kurama shook his head. How everything has changed, he doesn't know why. It seems as though that Hiei was the one who was beginning to slack off, not him.
'Strange,' he thought as he walked down the hallway to his next class, 'it appears as though we've changed now.'
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
"So, he said 'yes'? And his cousin will be coming with us too?" Sango asked the girl sitting next to her. "Was that why you seemed so happy after talking to them?"
"Yeah, he said that he'll be able to come with us to the pizza parlor today after school," answered Kagome.
"But what about Koaru, have you forgotten about her already?"
Kagome didn't respond for a few seconds until she finally spoke up. "Don't worry. Once I have said that I'll make her murderers pay, I WILL make them pay and wish that they've never been born," she said cheerfully. "But in the mean time, I'm just glad that Kurama and Hiei will be coming with us today."
Sango became worried about her best friend. Kagome was strangely cheerful and happy all of a sudden. This wasn't like her, not at all. Was she just hiding her true emotions with a deceiving face? Possibly yes. Why would she be like this after a girl they've both known since early childhood, had died? Instead of morning over the death, she's out looking for a date with Kurama. Was she just trying to run away from the sadness or something? This was something that Sango does not know the answer to, not even for her best friend, she does not know...
"Kagome?"
"Hmm?"
"Uh..." Sango began but hesitated. She couldn't tell her friend about how she is, she just couldn't tell her. "Um...nothing. Never-mind; I forgot what I was going to tell you," she lied quickly.
"'Kay."
The sun was shining brightly and it was a cool spring morning. The sakura blossoms were beginning to bloom and it'll be a lovely sight to see them when they fall down to the ground, almost like as if it would be snowing with cherry blossoms. Sango remembers a time when she was with Miroku one day, when they had first begun dating each other; he had taken her to the park and had witnessed the pink leaves falling down. It was a beautiful and romantic time to be with him. She wanted that memory to stay with her all the time...and it has been. She wonders if Miroku will take her again to the park this year, it'll be like an anniversary of when they first said that they had both loved each other. Sango began to smile a daydreaming smile.
"Sango," whispered Kagome. "Do you see her? The PE teacher?"
"Huh?" she asked, shaking her mind out of her past memory. "What? Where?"
"Down there." Kagome pointed towards the direction of the new teacher. Sango followed her finger and saw her.
"That's her?"
"Yeah."
"How do you know?"
"Because she came out of the PE department just a few seconds ago."
"Ah, okay."
The teacher walked towards the class, who were all sitting down on the benches in their regular school uniforms. She looked really young to be a PE teacher, but that didn't matter for the boys in that class. Now they're probably having perverted thoughts going through their minds after looking at her once. "Hello, everyone. I am your new gym teacher, Miss Hirada," she greeted to the students. "I'm guessing that this is your first year in high school, am I correct?" No one answered. "Well, I guess this'll be an easy class this year for me, you guys are quiet," she laughed. "I guess I'll just call the roll now." She then began to call the names one by one.
Kagome leaned over to Sango to tell her something. "Our teacher looks really young, doesn't she?" she asked.
Sango nodded her head as a response.
"How old do you think she is?"
"I don't – How should I know?"
Kagome didn't hear her; she was in her own world now. Probably daydreaming about a guy again. Sango raised an eyebrow, shrugged her shoulders and yawned.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Botan looked at wrists. The red marks that were there were beginning to a fade a bit. She was confused, how could this have happened? It was only a dream, but how could a dream cause this sort of pain to her?
"Oh my god! Botan! What happened to your wrists? They weren't there yesterday!" Yukina exclaimed quietly.
Botan turned and saw Yukina peering over her shoulder. "Um...uh, hey, Yukina," she said.
"What happened to your wrists?
"Oh nothing. I accidentally wrapped a rubber band around my wrists really tightly and forgot to set them loose after a while."
"Are you sure? You don't need to go to the infirmary?"
"Yeah, I'm sure."
"Okay..."
Botan turned around to the face the front again. "Botan Daioh!" Miss Hirada called out. "Botan Daioh, are you here today?"
"Here!" Botan called out when she raised her hand up high. "I'm here!"
Miss Hirada saw her and checked her name off, and then she continued on with the list. After a few minutes, she called out another name: Jaganshi Hiei. "Jaganshi Hiei!" No one answered, so she continued.
Botan and Yukina had heard the name. "Jaganshi?" they both asked in unison.
"Hiei has the same last name as you, Yukina!" said Botan.
"Yeah...he does..." Yukina replied quietly.
"Jaganshi Yukina!" Miss Hirada called out.
"Uh, here!" Yukina answered back.
Miss Hirada checked off her name and then continued once again.
"His last name is Jaganshi also, do you think he's that twin brother you were talking about yesterday?" asked Botan.
"I highly doubt that, Botan..."
"Why is that so?"
"He didn't seem like it. I mean, I would've had a weird feeling when I saw him." Yukina wasn't saying the truth, when she saw Hiei in class, she felt as she had known him before from somewhere. His presence was so familiar, but Yukina didn't want to accept the fact that he could be her brother.
"Are you sure?"
Yukina paused. "...Yes..."
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
From on top of the school's rooftop, two crimson-colored eyes watched down below. He saw his 'class' and saw Sango. He licked his lips when he saw the vein in her neck. A Kurokiba has an eyesight for almost two miles of distance. The vein was there and he could see it very clearly. He couldn't wait to taste her rich blood. During this little thought, the power that he had sensed before, returned and overwhelmed him.
"What the hell?" he questioned. "Where is this demon coming from?"
Hiei closed his eyes and tried to find Kurama to contact him. 'Kurama!' No answer came in return. 'Kurama!' Still no answer came. Kurama must've blocked his mind so that nobody would speak to him, especially Hiei. 'Crap!'
The vampire cursed and gave up with trying to contact Kurama. He then tried to locate the demon that was hiding within the school. After a moment had passed, he had located its where-about. He grinned when he found him. "Now it's time for a little blood-bath." Throughout his life of being a vampire, he had always loved a good kill, hunting down his frightened prey; he was a predator and never will he be the one being hunted down like some wild animal. He never cared once for his prey, they didn't mean anything to him. Though you would begin to wonder, has he ever had a love to call his own? He might've had one, over two centuries ago, but who knows?
Hiei had soon disappeared...
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Class for PE was over; it was only for few minutes after roll call. Sango and Kagome were walking together (a/n: as usual) to Mr. Kawamoto's class and lunch was still a long way to go, so for their next class, it's World History. As they were walking, Kagome saw someone in front of them and she raised an eyebrow when she saw him. He had long raven-black hair.
Sango saw him walking ahead of them too. 'I've never seen a guy with long black hair before, only seen long red hair. This is new,' she thought. 'Wonder what he looks like.'
As if he had heard her thoughts, the boy turned around. Kagome stopped walking and gazed at him. He had such pretty violet-colored eyes and he had a handsome face. Almost better than Kurama! "Oh, hi there ladies, I'm new here and I'm looking for this classroom," he smiled. "I was wondering if you would please help me look for this room." He walked towards them and Kagome was still in awe. He handed the paper that was in his hands to Sango.
Sango took the paper calmly and looked at it. She saw his name, age and class number. "Inya Arashi," she said aloud. "Welcome to our high school, you'll be in, I think, Ms. Ayame's class. It's the classroom next to ours'." She handed him back the paper. "Come with us, we'll show you the way."
"Thank you very much, uh..."
"I'm Sango Hidaka and this is my friend Kagome Higurashi."
"Ah, okay," he smiled again. "I'm Inya Arashi."
"It's very nice to meet you," Kagome finally greeted, still gazing at him. She was lost within his beautiful violet-colored eyes.
"Yes, same here," Inya replied while he was also gazing into her own sapphire-blue eyes. Violet and sapphire were locked together, unable to look the other way. He smiled at her and she smiled back.
Sango looked at the two and sighed; she had to break the silence! "Okay, you two! We've got to go now; we're going to be late."
"Yeah, we'll be right there, Sango," Kagome replied, still smiling back to Inya.
Sango sighed again and grabbed Kagome's arm. "Let's go now! We're going to be late and Inya will be too!"
"'Kay!"
Then the three were off but along the way, they were stopped. Hiei stood in their way. "Oh, hi there, Hiei," Sango greeted, "ready to go to our next class?"
Hiei didn't respond to her question. He just stared at the three quietly, then left.
"Huh? What just happened there?" Kagome asked Sango. "What did Hiei just do there?"
"I don't know..." Sango said; she found that little incident to be a bit odd. "Okay, anyway, let's go now."
"Yeah," Kagome replied. "Let's go, Inya."
The three had then left to go to their classes.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Inya saw the boy that was ahead of them earlier today, his eyes were of a crimson red and he has never seen such a color from a human before. Unless, he was a human or not, then this would be a different situation for him. He sighed as he watched Ms. Ayame talk on about chemistry and that sort of stuff. The girls that escorted him earlier were nice. Sango was pretty, but Kagome had grabbed his attention towards her face. He's never seen a face like hers before, and he was quite taken when he had first seen her. The way her raven-black hair crowned her beautiful face and the way her sapphire-blue eyes sparkled when she looked at him. Oh my, he's starting to fall in love with Kagome Higurashi and he had just met her!
"Inya Arashi!" Ms. Ayame called out as she looked down at the piece of paper that was in her hands. "You're needed at the front office. Someone is here to see you, I believe."
Inya got up from his seat and got the paper from the teacher and left.
"Who could be calling me out?" he asked himself. "I'm just a 'new' student here, I haven't done anything wrong...yet." He smirked at the thought.
As he was walking, someone behind him had called out. "What are you doing here, demon?" he yelled.
Inya stopped walking; the smirk that was written upon his lips was still there. "Demon? Where? I don't see a demon here?" he said as he turned around slowly to face the speaker. He saw who the caller was; it was the same person that he saw earlier when he was with Sango and Kagome. "Oh me, oh my," he began, "we meet again."
"Enough talk!" Hiei snapped. "What are you doing here?"
"What am I doing here?" Inya asked. "But first, who says that I'm a demon?"
Hiei began to growl. "I said enough. Enough with your innocent talk! If you're here for the Elemental Witches then go somewhere else! We Kurokiba had already claimed to destroy them ourselves!"
Inya grinned. "The Kurokiba? The legendary race of vampire?"
Hiei remained silent.
"Hmm, I'd never thought of actually meeting one in person," he laughed. "This is a real good opportunity for me to actually kill one of the most powerful beings on this planet. It's a very rare chance to kill a Kurokiba, especially for me."
"I know that this is not your real form, demon," Hiei said coldly. "Show your true form!"
Inya put his hands in his pockets and shook his head with a small laugh. "Feh, why would I want to do that here? Many people will notice the change," he said.
Hiei narrowed his eyes as he felt for the knife that was hidden in his shirt. "Whatever, if you don't then I guess that I won't enjoy the challenge of killing you. What a waste."
Inya heard him and narrowed his eyes as well. "You want a challenge, eh?" he asked. "Then I might as well give you one."
"Great." Hiei grabbed for the hidden knife and took it out. But as he did so, Inya began to look different. His hair was beginning to change from black to a lighter color and his violet eyes were beginning to turn into amber. He was even beginning to grow claws on his hands and fangs in his mouth. This transformation was a bit slow, so Hiei smirked and ran towards Inya, getting ready to stab him with his knife.
He raised his arm so that he could aim for Inya's eyes. But Inya saw him and grabbed his arm. "It's a bit unfair to attack someone who's not ready for battle yet," he said.
While still holding onto his arm, Inya threw Hiei towards the other end of the hallway. His transformation had completed. His hair was silvery- white, his eyes now a golden-brown color, he had a set of claws and fangs, he no longer had human ears like before, instead, he had a pair of 'dog' ears on his head. He heard Hiei hiss when he landed on the cold floor with his new set of ears and he smirked again. "Heh, how's the challenge so far?" he asked.
Hiei slowly got up from the floor and flashed a deadly smile. "I think this'll be quite fun."
"Same here, I think this'll be an interesting morning."
"So, you got a name?"
Inya smiled in return. "Yeah," he began, "the name's Inuyasha. You?"
"Well, Inuyasha," Hiei started, "the name's Hiei."
"Nice to meet you, but sadly," said Inuyasha, "you're going to have to die very soon."
"I would say the same thing, but it'll be you who's going to die." With that, Hiei ran again towards Inuyasha with the knife still in his hands. He was quick when he reached his opponent; however, Inuyasha was a bit quicker. Hiei tried to stab him with different thrusts to the sides and front, but he missed. He grinded his teeth because of the misses and once again he tried to strike.
Inuyasha grabbed his arm again and threw him to the end of the hallway once again. He grinned again when he heard Hiei land on the hard surface. "Had enough yet?"
Hiei got up again, determined to not lose against this demon. "Nope, not yet; don't even think that I'm going to be giving up yet."
"Oh, is that so? Well then, I guess I'll have to use this," he said as he pulled out a small knife. The knife that he was holding had soon turned into a katana. "This here is what I call "The Tetsusaiga," he explained. "This katana can turn into a larger sword, but when it does, it could cause some problems to the school, and we wouldn't want anything to happen to our school, now do we?"
"Heh, let's continue now, shall we?"
"Fine." Inuyasha prepared himself for Hiei's attack. "Come and get me."
Hiei ran again towards Inuyasha, knife in hand. When he reached him, he swung his arm to strike him. Still he missed but when he finally was able to hit Inuyasha, he got ready to stab him. "Here comes the kill!" he yelled.
Inuyasha smiled and pushed his katana forward. Hiei's eyes became wide as the sound of flesh being pierced rang through his ears. "What?" he asked slowly when he saw blood fly across his eyes. He looked at Inuyasha, he was quiet and the smirk that was once there had disappeared. Then he looked down, blood was dripping everywhere onto the floor...

A/N: Soo!! How was it? Hm, I think this chapter was a bit off. I guess for not writing for about a month kinda slowed me down a bit. I think. Anywho, tell me what you guys think about this chapter when you review! ^____^ I also apologize again for not updating any sooner. -_- Oh and I will NOT write any yaoi related stuff in this fic! ^^ Well, I guess I'd better go now and also, don't forget that when you post a review, please answer this question: should I make NDCT into 3 parts or leave it as one part? Well, tell me and I'll make a decision depending on how many reviews for it I get. ^____^ oh and 5 for this chapter, I will update as soon as I can. Ah, and have you noticed the few little bad words in there? It's not really bad, but I just put them in there b/c it seems to be more Hiei's character to curse a bit (duh! He does cuss in the original T_T. but that makes him, him! ^^) Oh and don't jump to conclusions just yet! ^^ Also, when I said that characters will be OOC, I meant it ^^ I so totally did not make sense in this a/n. T_T and for the names in here, like their last names, Arashi is from X, and I don't own it. Hirada is from D.N.Angel and I also don't own that and a couple of others. I also know that Hidaka isn't Sango's last name, so just play along w/it, please? Hmm, what else, if you guys have any questions, just ask in your review.
Well, I'll let you guys go now. I'm going to watch GTO now!
Byes! ^________________^
