Chapter 3- The New Student

"Kagome-chan!"

Kagome turned and smiled. "Hey guys!"

"Kagome you should see the new student. He just transferred to our school and he's totally hot!"

"Oh? Why don't you show me this new student. I want to see him for myself." He's got to be hot if they want me to look at him rather than Houjo.

"Okay." Kagome's friends grabbed her by the arm and pulled her toward the school building. They stopped when they saw a red-haired boy talking to the principal. "That's him Kagome. Isn't he gorgeous?"

"Yeah, he is." That's Kurama. What's he doing here? Suddenly the principal spotted them and beckoned Kagome over. "Yes sir?"

"Higurashi I would like you to show Shuichi here around the school since you have all the same classes."

"Yes sir." With her agreement, he turned and left. Kagome and Kurama turned in the opposite direction and started off to their first class.

"So care to tell me what you're doing here and why you're going by Shuichi?"

"I'm here because Koenma thought it wise that I be here to protect you. I'm being called Shuichi because that's my human name."

"Huh?"

Kurama then explained about Youko and how he came to be in a human body.

"I thought my life was complicated." Damn, I would hate to be him.

Just as they were about to walk into the classroom Houjo approached them.

"Hey Kagome. How have you been feeling?"

"Oh fine, Houjo. Just great." She smiled what she hoped was a reassuring smile.

"That's wonderful! Since you're feeling well, would you like to go to the movies this Saturday?"

"Sorry Houjo. I've already got plans. Maybe another time."

His smile didn't falter. "Okay. Maybe next week. See you later Kagome."

She let her smile drop and sighed. She shook her head and mumbled, "You'd think he'd take a hint."

They walked into the room and sat down. "Ugh, I hate math. It's the worst subject ever," she complained. "The worst part is that there's a test today. I'm so going to fail it." She then started to bang her head repeatedly on the desk.

"It's not really hard Kagome. I could help you if you like," he offered.

"Really? That's very nice of you. I would love your help."

After Kurama introduced himself to the class they all had to take the test (except Kurama).

~*~*After class~*~*

"That was horrible! I definitely failed that. I didn't understand half of the test." (a/n That happens to me a lot)

"Don't worry. I told you I'd help and I will. When's a good time for you?"

"How about after school? I don't have to go back through the well for another two days."

"Okay. We'll make you understand it," he said, smiling.
