Chapter 1: First person

My day had started at dismal and had recently taken a turn for the worst. It had started with the end of a three day mission in the Meikai searching a swamp for a rather distasteful plant demon that was leaking poison into the Ninjinkai. From there it progressed into a rather bad allergic reaction to the demon's pollen on my part, and reached new heights in my Chemistry class or should I say lows.

"Not your best work, Suiichi" A classmate, I believe Yuli Tendo, commented as he leaned over my shoulder to see what I had been scowling at. Indeed it was true, my test had received a 93 out of 100, an A-, I believe my first. I have been slacking in my studies as of late. It was just that devious pollen. Tha…tha…th…

"AAH-AAH-AHCHOO!" Oh, goodness! I just sneezed in class! And extremely loudly as well! How embarrassing!

"Suiichi! Go to the nurses office before you get everyone sick!"

Now I'm really embarrassed, "Yes, sir!" of course I skip the nurses, can't go tell normal people that I am having an allergic reaction to demonic pollen. Since Chemistry is my last class, I figure I should go home and study to make up for my bad grades.

On my usual way home through the park I notice that the Cherry blossoms will be blooming soon. Their little buds peeking out from the branches of the trees. Reaching for their freedom. This sight makes me feel happy and I pause to look around.

"Fox."

"Eeeck!" I spin around in a flash to see none other than Hiei standing behind me. Oh, no! I just shrieked like a monkey! Oh, if the sneeze was embarrassing then shrieking like that should kill me! I look to Hiei as my flaming cheeks start to cool down.

"Hn" He grunted with a little smirk and I can feel my face light up with shame once more. I can not believe I let my guard down like that, and apparently neither can Hiei.

"Baka Kitsune." He smirks again.

I start to feel angry instead of ashamed, "What are you doing here in the ninjinkai, Hiei?" Ooh, swarthy come back, Kurama. No wonder you're the captain of the debate team. I think to my self sarcastically. But to my infinite surprise, Hiei actually responds.

"I came to give you these," he says as he hands me a bushel of flowers.

I, of course, panic, "HieiIdon'tknowwhatyouthinkyouaredoingbutIdon'tthinkIamreadyforthisanditsnotyouitsmeandIhopethiswillnotchangethingsbetweenusbutIonlywanttobefriendsandsoIdon'tthink-"

"STOP!" I stopped.

"You once said these were good for allergies."

Then I actually look at the flowers and notice they are good for allergies, especially Demonic ones as they are a very rare breed of flowers grown in the Meikai by high ranking Dragon Clans as a show of rank.

"Hiei…" I said, my voice reflecting my emotions as my chest clenched in fear, "where did you get these flowers?"

"The Meikai." Hiei seems to be annoyed, but he just stole a prized possession of some of the strongest Demons in the Meikai. I suddenly felt dizzy.

"Look, demon pollen stays in the system of humans for days and I do not want you slipping in a battle because of a sneeze and possible endangering Yukina. As for the Demons, I took care of them."

"T-To-too-took..?" then, just as quick as he showed up, Hiei vanished. And my knees promptly gave out, "Took care of them?" Hiei must have been mistaken, he could not have "taken care" of those demons. Maybe he found the herb and some other demons had it. That must be it. I thought as I got up and continued my walk home. Now I really had to go home to study, both for my grades and to get my mind off Hiei being strong enough to "take care" of those demons.

An: yea! I got a review! But now I think I am spelling Meikai wrong. Is it Meikai, Maikai, or even Maijinkai? I can not remember! And what is Kurama's human last name? It was a little weird that a teacher was calling him by his first name.
