Disclaimer: I really, really would like to say that I owned Yu Yu Hakusho.
But if I did do you really think I would let Cartoon network edit it so
much as to completely butcher it? Nah. Didn't think so.
On with the fic!
The Headmaster. lord of Cumulus Academy, literally. As the two entered the dining room, they were surprised to see that the headmaster of the academy was actually pretty young, not he old geezer they had expected. Hiei was already sitting at the table, but instead of eating the fire demon was.reading? "Now that's something new." Yuske said as he sat down next to Hiei. Calmly, the youkai replied, "Homework. Why bother reading for pleasure?" Kurama looked up and was about to protest, but the headmaster intervened. "Now, I beg to differ."
"Beg all you want, doesn't mean I'm gonna listen." Lyra walked in, loaded with a couple plates of food. Bending down, she whacked Hiei with a dish she was passing to Yuske. "Don't talk like that to Headmaster Givanni!" Hiei merely growled and rubbed his head where the ceramic dish had mercilessly whacked it. "Humans."
At this, Rachel swept in and grabbed Hiei's ear. "You! Upstairs until you can be civil!" Hiei grimaced and broke out of her grasp. "No. If you don't like me, ignore me." Everyone merely stared and shrugged. "Okay.", "Yeah.", "sure", and other replies followed. Hiei plopped right back down and took a bite into his sandwich. Tasting it for a moment, he decided it needed a little something. "Hey, pass the ketchup." He said to Yuske. The Japanese boy carried on his conversation with headmaster Givanni without paying any heed to the agitated demon. "Hello? Pass the ketchup, boy!" After a few more tries, Hiei knew he would be better off talking to a brick wall. Reaching over Kurama's plate, he snagged the bottle himself and got a thwap from Rachel. "Ask next time!" Hiei; however, was too busy trying to get the ketchup out of the damned bottle. Angrily, he pounded the bottom lightly with his fist. When that didn't work, he looked up the neck of the bottle, only to have the stubborn condiment spill all over his face. "Beautiful."
Upstairs, Kuwabara was busy reading one of the books from his favorite manga series. Halfway through one of the most exciting scenes, someone knocked on the window. "Aww. Kagome and Inu-Yasha were about to make up." (Hee! I love that series!) Surprisingly, Botan floated on her oar outside. "Hello Kuwabara! Koenma sent this letter to you!" The blue-haired girl handed him an envelope and zoomed off into the sky, throwing a quick "Good-bye!" over her shoulder. "Weird. why didn't he just phone us?" Kuwabara puzzled over this as he opened the envelope and pulled out a blank sheet of paper. "What the.?"
Kuwabara was still puzzling over the "letter" when Kurama came back up to the room. "What do you have?" the fox asked. Kuwabara threw the paper over his shoulder and flopped back on his bed. "Koenma sent it. probably a prank." Kurama walked over and picked the sheet off the floor. The blank paper instantly filled with flowing, golden words. The fox read the letter aloud. "Dear Yuske, Hiei, Kurama, and Kuwabara, I hope you have enjoyed your time so far. I know the teachers and students may seem a little strange, but they're good people (and boy can they cook!). Anyways, things seem to be a little more out of hand than we thought, so we're sending another spirit detective over there soon. He might be new, but I'm sure you know him. See ya later, Koenma."
After dinner, Yuske read it aloud to himself and tossed the sheet of paper over his shoulder. "What a load of crap. We can handle most anything that comes our way." Hiei snagged the letter before it hit the floor and scanned through. "This new guy better not screw anything up." Hiei said, crumpling it up and tossing it towards the wastepaper basket, missing by a foot. In a clatter and clack of bones, a familiar dog skeleton shot out from under Kuwabara's bed. Whipping his bony tail around, Bones happily tossed the crumpled letter up in the air and caught it again and again while Yuske, Kurama, and Hiei sat there, staring. "Kuwabara. what is a living skeleton doing in our room!?" Yuske hollered. Bones jumped and hopped up over to Kuwabara's side, his jaws chattering as if whimpering. "It's a gift from my teacher. Bones here is supposed to keep an eye on me while I'm at the dorm." Kuwabara explained the day's lesson while trying to calm down the mixed up dog. er. skeleton. Kurama grabbed his jacket and massaged the bridge of his nose. "I have an idea, why don't you tell me in the morning? It's pretty late. G'night."
"If it's that late, why is Kurama going out?" Kuwabara wondered aloud. "It's a full moon, dope." Hiei mumbled from under the covers of his own bed. "Wha- Oh yeah! Night you guys!" Bones climbed over to lay across his master's chest and get himself comfy. Yuske was sitting cross-legged on his bed, still asleep from where he dozed off during Kuwabara's recollection of the day's event's.
Lyra sat on the balcony attached to her window. She repeatedly tapped her pencil against the wooden railing and stared out over the ocean. Having no idea what to draw, she just doodled. Suddenly, a white being appeared down by the water. Lyra just stared and took in the long, flowing hair and silvery tail before flipping to another page and hurriedly sketching. In less than a minute, she finished the basic form and started on miniscule details. As if she/he had heard Lyra, the figure turned around to face her. The figure was definitely a man, but not just a mere human. She had been lucky enough to spot a kitsune. She quickly flipped another page and started sketching the kitsune at lightning speed. Oh, wouldn't her sister be jealous!
Hiei tried to sleep, but his amazing hearing caught up every little sound. In the bathroom next door, someone had left the faucet on. Not more than ten feet away, Kuwabara was snoring like hell, and upstairs, the furious skritching of a pencil ensued. Hiei was about to storm upstairs when he heard a sound that really caught his attention, a consistent rumbling that was underneath and almost hidden by all the other sounds of nighttime. He couldn't tell what it was, just that it was coming closer to the house with each passing moment. Cautiously, he stalked over to Yuske and thwapped him in the head. "Awp! Hiei! What was that for?" Yuske complained as he struggled to sit back up. Hiei merely cocked his head and replied, "Do you hear that?" "Do I hear what you sonnova- The hell is that noise!" "Listen. Wake up Kuwabara and the two of you meet me downstairs. I'll go inform Rachel and Erika." The demon seemed to disappear as he hurried to the two teachers downstairs.
Yuske grumbled and in turn whapped Kuwabara. The taller redhead woke up with a start and asked what was happening. "Long story. Just get downstairs where we can confront that thing." Kuwabara groaned and shuffled down the hall, yawning and rubbing his eyes. A tremor shook the house and the two sprung alive, running the rest of the way and downstairs. Erika and Rachel were hustling out the door and Yuske and Kuwabara followed. Hiei stood outside, shocked and surprised. For rumbling up the dirt path was a strange beast indeed. It seemed to be rotting flesh with mechanical parts attached. The monster rolled up on it's tank track torso and glared with glowing red eyes. Hiei was undoubtedly awestruck, if not a little disgusted by the lump of a corpse. "What the hell have we gotten ourselves into.?"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Yay! Finally! It took me hours to write that, mainly because I was fooling around on my mom's computer and downloading Anime music videos and other niceties on Kazaa. I got a Trigun clip that is a music video to Kid Rock's song "Cowboy" (Gawd, I love that song!). Another favorite is "Autumn in Ganymede" from Cowboy Bebop. Yes, I like stories focused on such topics like bounty hunters and western deserts as opposed to Sailor Moon and Love Hina. Oh, and this is supposed to be a cliff hanger. But you'll get to see what Lyra can really do in the next chapter.
Remember; review and your health will be insured.
