READ THIS: Hey, I'm back with another Hiei and Botan fic. I know you all love them. Fear not, though. Unlike my other Hiei/Botan fics, this one isn't a one shot. It has chapters. I know, you can't wait. Well, neither can I. I'll give the summary and we can start the fic.

SUMMARY: At age 16, skilled guitarist and punk, Hiei Jaganshi, is an outcast with no friends at his school, Surota High. He does have his sister(Yukina), his best friend(Kurama), and his girlfriend(Mukuro). (I know, I know. I said Hiei and Botan, but Mukuro plays an important role. Botan gets Hiei, believe me.) But when his girlfriend cheats on him with his best friend and the two start going out, Hiei is left angry, alone, and hurt. Can the the new girl(Botan) warm her way into his heart? Or will he become cold and isolated, another victim of high school torture and cruel classmates? They say these are the best years of our lives. Somehow, I highly doubt that.

DISCLAIMER: [insert clever disclaimer here]

A/N: Everybody is basically 16. Everybody's from YYH. I add twists to everyone's pasts and crap, making excuses for why they don't have family or have a certain deformity so it makes sense in the real high school drama world. This is an alternitive universe. If you don't know what that is......deal with it.

Ok, I'm done. On with the friggin fic.

It was a lovely Monday morning as the world began to wake up…………………

BEEP! BEEP! BEEP!

An annoyed pair of crimson eyes flickered open at the sound of the alarm clock. A pissed groan came from under the sheets of the bed as a hand emerged from beneath the black comforter. With sluggish movement, the hand tapped the snooze button on the clock and the room was immediately silent. With another slow movement, the hand disappeared beneath the comforter as the owner of the hand resumed slumbering. Just as they were about to drift back off to sleep…………

SLAM! "Hiei, wake up! You're gonna be late!" yelled a drowsy Yukina as she slammed open the door and charged into the room. Grabbing a pillow from the floor, she began beating the lump on the bed that was Hiei mercilessly. "We're going to be late! Get up!" She paused momentarily to see if Hiei would rise.

When she got no response, she continued beating Hiei with the pillow again, faster and harder then before. Yukina began losing hope that she would ever get her brother up. He was usually alert during the day, but he could sleep like a rock.

"Grr…….Alright already! I'll get up!" called a muffled voice from beneath the black comforter. Yukina just grinned triumphantly as she walked out of the door, tossing the pillow over her shoulder on the way out. It landed on the floor, where it originally was.

The covers of the bed shifted noisily as Hiei tried to find a way out from underneath them. Throwing the covers off the bed, he sat up, rubbing his tired eyes in the process. He raised his arm to stifle a huge yawn, causing the sleeve of his black tank top to slip down off his shoulder. He scratched his head, tousling his black, white, and blue hair. Opening his eyes again, he gazed wearily around his room. This is Hiei Jaganshi, age 16, and this is the story of his life.

Hiei continued to look around his room, gazing at all the band posters taped onto his black walls. His eyes came to rest on one particular poster. The granddaddy of all bands, Metallica. He loved them. The way their songs were so dark and tormented, practically praising the devil. The volume the songs had to be played. Loud. The way the lead singer's voice was gravelly. [1]

He smiled to himself and let his eyes fall to the corner of his room, straight to his air guitar. It was hot red and slick. He dreamed of starting a band, playing loud punk rock music in front of huge crowds of fans. Of course, that was only a dream, because he didn't have many friends. Even if he did, it wouldn't matter. No one around town played instruments; therefore, he couldn't start a rock band.

With a sigh, he stretched his arms and let his legs hang over the edge of the bed. His bare feet touched the cold wooden floor of his room as he pulled himself out of bed and stood up. He stumbled slightly over to his full size mirror and looked at himself.

His reflection showed the same thing it did yesterday morning. He still stood at 4'10. Of course, no one knew that was his real size, because his hair made him seem slightly taller.

He looked at his hair with interest. No matter how he slept on it, it always stuck up in the same way every morning. He had messy hair, he had learned that from an early age, and he liked the fact that it spiked out wildly. He had been born with a white starburst springing out from his pitch black hair near his bangs. He liked the color combination, and when he was 13 he had dyed the tips of his hair blue, excluding his bangs. He like the way his hair looked, unique.

His glared at his reflection and his crimson eyes glared back at him. They were emotionless and shadowed from his bangs. He smirked; having a death glare was one of the ups in life. He looked down at his black tank top and black boxers that he had worn to bed. He still had to change for school.

With an annoyed grunt, Hiei shuffled over to his dresser and pulled open a drawer. Grabbing a pair of worn jeans, he pulled them on and yanked off his tank top, throwing it onto his bed. He searched around for a clean shirt and found a black T-shirt. Throwing it on, he pulled on a pair of socks and reached for his shoes. "Huh?" he asked when he couldn't find them. He looked all around his room, in his closet, under his bed, but he couldn't find them anywhere.

With a frustrated sigh, he opened his door and screamed out into the hallway. "Yukina! Have you seen my-" THUMP! THUMP! Hiei sweatdropped as his sneakers hit the wall next to his door. "-shoes………" he finished weakly, snatching up his sneakers and pulling them on his feet.

Last but not least, he dug into his drawer for his white bandana. He pulled it out and quickly tied it around his forehead.

With that done, he jumped up and ran to the bathroom and got done what needed to be done. He finished and grabbed his backpack off of his desk chair. Checking his alarm clock, he saw he had ten minutes until he had to start walking to school. He smirked. He had made good time.

Walking down the stairs, Hiei dropped his backpack off by the door and strolled into the kitchen. He stopped in the doorway and stared when he saw his twin. Yukina was sitting at the small kitchen table, leaning over a newspaper she was engrossed in. Every now and then she took a bite of a bagel. This wasn't the reason Hiei was staring, though.

Yukina was wearing a white cotton button-up blouse. She wore a plaid skirt that went a good way above her knees. She had white socks that went up to her knees and wore black boots that didn't go past her ankles. She had her sea green hair in pigtails, tied with two red bows. Realizing her brother was staring; she stopped reading and looked at him. "What?"

Letting out a snort, Hiei shook his head and leaned against the doorway. He didn't say anything and Yukina ignored him and went back to reading. After a few moments of silence, Hiei casually responded to his sister. "Yukina, the school doesn't have uniforms, so why are you dressing like a schoolgirl?"

Yukina stopped reading her paper and glared poison at her brother. "Shut up, Hiei!" she snapped, throwing a bagel at his head. Hiei caught the bagel before it could touch him and took a bite out of it, all the while chuckling to him self.

He leaned against the counter, chewing his bagel, while Yukina continued reading at the table. "Are you buying lunch today?" she asked, not looking up from the paper.

Hiei snorted. Like he would be caught dead bringing lunch from home. "Yeah."

Yukina didn't say anything as she folded up the newspaper and tossed it onto another chair. She took a piece of paper and a pencil out of her backpack and began jotting something down. Hiei raised and eyebrow as he got a soda from the fridge and began chugging it down. "What are you doing?" he asked between gulps.

"I'm writing down a few final notes before that big math test that Dr. Ichigaki's giving today," Yukina responded as she continued practicing algebra problems with skill.

Hiei began choking on his soda and started coughing violently. Yukina froze when she heard her brother coughing. She placed her pencil down on the table softly and turned around very slowly to face Hiei. He was blinking furiously and breathing heavily. "Hiei, tell me you studied for today's math test."

"There's a math test today?!" he exclaimed frantically, staring at his sister in stupor.

Yukina gaped at her brother like she couldn't believe what she was hearing. "What do you mean, 'there's a math test today?!'" she blared, mock mimicking her brother. "Dr. Ichigaki told us a week ago that we're having a big math test today! Do you even listen to him?!"

Hiei gave a weak laugh. "…….No……"

Yukina slapped her hand on her forehead. "You are so screwed."

"Yukina!" he yelped, grabbing his twin by the shoulders and shaking her roughly. "You have to help me!"

Yukina looked at her brother and knew he couldn't pass this test. "I took notes for the test, so I can study off those. You can borrow my textbook. Study chapter 3." She handed her math textbook to Hiei and frowned. 'He never studies. He's gonna fail,' she thought sadly.

Hiei was about to open the math book when he remembered the time. He looked at the clock and saw that it was 7:45. School started in fifteen minutes. 'I'm so screwed!' he thought.

Yukina, too, looked at the clock and saw that it was time to go. "Come on, we better start walking. We're supposed to meet Kurama and Mukuro on the way to school." Hiei nodded and ran to the door, grabbing his backpack from the floor and slinging it over his shoulder. Yukina came out of the kitchen with her backpack and they both walked out the front door.

Hiei started off to the sidewalk while Yukina locked the door behind her. She caught up with him and they started off down the sidewalk until………

"Wait! I forgot my lunch money!"

"Hiei!"

Yukina and Hiei were finally on there way to school after going back to the house 3 times. 2 trips for Hiei and one for Yukina. Anyway, they continued down to school. They stopped in front of Kurama's house, only to find there was no Kurama waiting outside.

Hiei looked around blankly for his best friend. "Where's Kurama?"

Looking around, Yukina shrugged. "You took so long; maybe he left with out us."

Kurama had been Hiei's one and only friend since the third grade when Kurama had moved to town. Everybody in the third grade had at least one friend except Hiei. He was an outcast and he didn't like making friends in the first place. When Kurama had arrived, he hadn't had any friends yet either, and the two of them hit it off.

Actually, during a fieldtrip, Kurama was making his way to the bus and Hiei had tripped him. Needless to say, the two of them had gotten into a fight and had detention together. They had glared at each other until Kurama had broken into laughter, and Hiei had joined him. They were kind of inseparable after that. They did everything together.

Hiei wasn't even really sure why Kurama hung out with him. He was an outcast, had bad grades, antisocial, an aloof bully to most. Picked on by the rest. And Kurama was popular, could charm anyone, was a genius, and was almost every girl's crush. No body messed with Kurama. He was ok with basically everyone. Hiei didn't usually dwell on this, but lately, something had been bothering him.

He was about to start walking off to school, thinking that Kurama had left already, when he heard the door to Kurama's house creak open. Yukina and he stared as Kurama fumbled with his keys, trying to quickly lock up his house. He looked a wreck, his red hair was messy and his jacket was on crooked. He finally succeeded in locking his house and turned on his heel to start walking to school. He stopped and stared in surprise when he saw the Koorime twins standing on the sidewalk, staring back at him.

Scratching the back of his head, Kurama gave a light laugh and his green eyes shined. "Gee Hiei, I had slept in. I didn't think you'd be out here." He jogged down the walkway and met his friend at the sidewalk.

"Yeah, well, I had some problems myself this morning," Hiei explained, looking down at the math book that was in his hands. "…………..Did you know about the math test?"

Kurama nodded as the trio continued on their way to school. "Yeah, Dr. Ichigaki told us about it a week ago." Hiei sweatdropped and Yukina glared daggers at her brother. Kurama saw what was unfolding and chuckled to himself. "Hiei, did you not study for this test either?"

"Hn," Hiei replied, beginning to read chapter 3 in the textbook. Kurama laughed at his friends antics. This happened every time a test came around.

"Do you think Mukuro left already?" Yukina asked as they neared the street corner where Mukuro usually waited for them. She looked up and down the street but saw no sign of her. "I guess so………."

Hiei took his nose out of the book briefly to look up and down the street as well. He frowned, slightly put off and gave a small sigh.

Kurama smirked. "Seems like your girlfriend left."

Hiei shrugged and continued walking, the damper in his mood apparent. Yukina and Kurama followed him when a voice suddenly rang out.

"Hiei! Wait up, I didn't leave!"

Hiei stopped walking and turned to see his girlfriend in the distance running at him. She was wearing a pair of green capris and a purple tank top. Most of her orange hair was layered on the right side of her head, hanging in front of her face. The piece of cloth that covered the scars on the left side of her face fluttered in the wind as she continued to run. It was held in place by the green bandana that she always wore. The glass lens she wore in front of her left eye over the cloth glinted in the sun as she grew closer. She finally made it to the three of them and stopped to catch her breathe.

"Hey Mukuro," Yukina greeted, smiling at her brother's girlfriend. Mukuro gave a wave of greeting and wiped a bead of sweat off her face.

She smiled at her friends and gave a long sigh of exhaustion. "Yukina. Kurama." she acknowledged kindly. She looked at Hiei, who had resumed his rushed studying and she began laughing. "Hiei, don't tell me you didn't study for Dr. Ichigaki's math test."

Yukina glanced in surprise at Mukuro and glared at her brother again. "Hear that, Hiei? Mukuro knew about the test."

"Hn," Hiei grunted, ignoring his sister's nagging.

Mukuro's blue eyes (uh…eye) sparkled as she laughed at him and bent so she was face to face with him. "You've got to fix that studying problem of yours," she said as she leaned in and gave him a quick kiss on the cheek. She pulled back and looked at him as a pink blush crept along his face, which only caused her to laugh more.

Kurama's chuckles joined hers and she looked at him and gave a wide grin. He grinned back and they both started walking, following Yukina who had already continued on her way to school again. Hiei tagged behind the three, looking at the endless math problems he had to memorize. 'This is gonna kill me,' he thought exasperatedly.

He stopped study and began thinking about Mukuro. Yeah, they were going out. He liked her, he really did. And she liked him. They had met in the fourth grade and had gotten along, and then one day Hiei got up the courage to ask her out. Relief was an overwhelming thing for him when she said yes.

Normally, Hiei didn't take a liking to girls. He wasn't gay or anything, he just didn't like the air headed bimbos that most of the female population of his school was made out of. Mukuro was different, though. She was more laid back and didn't like cheerleading, thank god. She had scars on her face and her entire left side was bionic thanks to a freak accident when she was a child, but he didn't care. He liked her for who she was. It was just a plus that she didn't wear preppy clothing and makeup.

Hiei found it fortunate that his girlfriend, his sister, and his only friend got along with each other just fine. It wouldn't have been so bad if Yukina hadn't gotten along with Mukuro, but Kurama? Forget about it. The three did everything together, and if Mukuro and Kurama didn't get along, major destruction would've ensued. But they did get along, very well really, so Hiei was thankful for that.

He was about to go back to studying when he realized his friends had stopped. "What's up?"

Kurama turned and laughed at the oblivious look on his friends face. "We're at school, Hiei. Can you imagine that?"

Hiei looked over Kurama's shoulder and saw Surota High in all its 'glory'. He hated this place.

"Ready for another hell bound day?" Mukuro asked, stepping next to Hiei.

He smirked. "Bring it on."

And with that, the four stepped into Surota High, preparing themselves for another day of school.

Yes, I know. No Botan yet. No Botan for a chapter or two. But admit it. You love my work. That's why you're reading my story. Be patient and great Hiei and Botan stuff will come...............Think I'm too full of myself?

A/N:
[1]- Hiei was going to have the dream of starting a band no matter what. I chose Metallica, because the creator of YYH, Yoshihiro Togashi's favorite band is Metallica. If you've ever watched the episodes of YYH when Kuwabara fights Seaman, you'll see that Togashi had Kuwabara go to a concert of Megallica's with a G instead of a T. Clever way not to copywrite, no?

And to set the record straight, Hiei's last name is not Jaganshi in real life. It's his title. Jaganshi means weilder of the evil eye, or Jagan. Hiei and Yukina both don't have a last name. Just for this story, their 'last name' is Jaganshi. I'm glad I cleared that up. People who like to write essays that rant about people who get YYH info wrong would come after me if I didn't.

Ok, that's it until next time so...........REVIEW! REVIEW! REVIEW! And........we're done.
