Wishing Upon A Fallen Angel
Chapter 1 – Punishment

A few short streams of cherry blossoms drifted past the deserted morning streets. A sweet scented breezeblew across the neighborhood, stirring up the bit of life that was already up. It was the beginning of a new day and with a new day comes with new things to anticipate. Sunlight filtered through the tree leaves as Shuuichi, nickname Kurama that was only used by close friends, slowly took his time to walk toward his school. Emerald-green eyes sparkled brightly as the morning breeze amused itself with Kurama's crimson-red hair. Leaving early gives him time to think about everything and nothing at the same time without having to worry that his fan club would follow him.

It's such a beautiful morning today. I wish it would last...

A small smile lingered on his lips as his school came into view. Entering the schoolyard, he noted that it was near empty... except for the school's feared, but popular group. Kurama sighed, his smile faltering a bit.

"I guess I shouldn't stay out here if they're here, too," Kurama mumbled to himself.

He quickly made his way towards the front door. He would've made it in too if Urameshi Yuusuke didn't suddenly go and blocked his way.

"Excuse me," Kurama said, looking levelly at Yuusuke.

"Aww, if it isn't the teachers' pet, Minamino Shuuichi," Yuusuke taunted, while Kurama stared defiantly at the young juvenile delinquent in front of him.

"Hey Urameshi! Are you so desperate for a fight that you have to pick on weaklings?!" Kuwabara Kazuma shouted from his place besides another one of their friend.

Yuusuke glared at Kuwabara, then at Kurama and returned to his place among the little circle. Kurama watched him go, and slowly found himself wondering how much gel he puts into that black hair of his.

What did I ever do to deserve this? Kurama thought miserably as he entered the school building and into his first period class.

He took his seat by the open window and stared out. How he longed to be outside once again, walking alone with only the passing wind as company. Snapping out of his reverie, voices of three particular people drifted up to him. He really wasn't one to eavesdrop, but even the best of them couldn't resist eavesdropping on the three troublemakers to see what they're going to do next.

"So what'd you say?"

"I say it's stupid, but I'll go along with it."

"Yea, me too."

Kurama could practically sense the cheeky grin on the delinquent's face as the agreement of his partners-in-crime was heard out in the open.

"Hey, what's that?" Kuwabara said, looking up at where Kurama was sitting and eavesdropping.

Kurama gave a small "eep" as he noticed that his strands of his fiery red hair was caught in the wind outside and was quite visibly to the people outside and most definitely below. He quickly pulled his hair back in and exited the classroom. He decided that he'll go back when class actually starts for he didn't fancy being caught by them. Who knows what they would do. No, better yet, who knows what he himself would do. You can't expect him to just sit by and wait for them to beat on him, now do you? That would definitely ruin the image of "perfect student" and he didn't think that loosing that title anytime soon would be in his favor.

Before he left, though, he heard, "Do you think it was Minamino spying on us?"

My day is getting better and better, isn't it?

-------

Surprisingly, they didn't catch him nor did they look like they wanted to. He knows he should be thankful, but it was quite suspicious. It was the next day and Kurama was halfway through first period when an announcement came on through the speakers.

"Minamino Shuuichi, would you please report to the principle's office right away," the secretary repeated herself again and then closed the intercom.

People stared at Kurama, wondering what the perfect student could've done. Nobody could expect him or even imagine him doing anything that was against the rules, but now they were seeing things a little differently. Kurama was half curious and half afraid of what awaited him in the principle's office. He's only been in there when he was asked if he wanted to go to college since it seemed that high school was much to easy for him. He denied the chance though and nobody knows why. Kurama got up calmly, gathered his things, and made his way towards his destination.

What could I have done? I'm sure I didn't do anything that would get me in trouble. It better not be about going to some college again.

Kurama reached the office and looked at the door nervously. He took a deep breath as he entered and the secretary received him with a smile. He tried to smile back, but the nervousness forbid him to even do that.

"He's waiting for you."

"Thank you."

He walked past her and into the office. Once in, he was surprised to see Jaganshi Hiei, another friend of Kuwabara and Yuusuke. He gave the school principle a confused look before he was motioned to sit down.

"Minamino-san, as you know you are one of our best students," the principle stated.

Kurama felt a blush appear on his face and he frowned as he heard Hiei snort in amusement at the statement.

"We have caught Jaganshi-san here doing something that he wasn't suppose to, but I won't go into detail with that. He's also failing most, if not all, his classes. I was wondering if you would consider tutoring him and give him a punishment while you're at it. We trust you well enough to know that you won't let us down."

"You really believe I could do this?"

"Why yes. Your scores are incredible and your views of punishment are rather fair. I have had people ask around the places where you baby-sit."

"So what you're saying is, he's going to baby-sit me? I don't care how good he is, I'm not letting some goody-two-shoe wimp baby-sit me," Hiei snarled.

"You're in no position to argue, Jaganshi. You're lucky we're not sending you off to juvenile hall. You'll be even luckier if Minamino would agree to help you. Also we have found suitable tutors for your partners-in-crime. We couldn't leave you out, now could we?"

Hiei growled, then gave his best glare at Kurama.

"I'm sure I'll be able to help him, but that would only be possible if he'll let me."

"So you're agreeing to help?"

"Yes."

Especially when he's called me a goody-two-shoe wimp. I'll show him.

Kurama turned and smiled at Hiei as Hiei glared at him, and that is how this story of their romance unfolds...

To be continued...

Yea!! Another fic started!! Wait... that's not a good thing, huh? Oh well... Hope you liked it though. Poor Kurama-kun. Having to deal with a temperamental juvenile. smiles Oh well, all the cuter! I'm sure that I'll make Kurama-kun have lots of fun with him though!
