Chapter Six- The Aftermath, Rumors Start
Note: italic words represent telepathic messages
That morning when Hiei woke up for school he looked around and thought, "I am so tired. I don't even know how much sleep I got…" Hiei began to think about the night before, "I stayed up all night watching over Shiei…when she woke up and told me she was fine I finally went to sleep." Hiei jumped down from the tree, he wasn't in the best of moods, but he walked towards the school anyways.
As Hiei walked through the halls he noticed every time he walked past a group of students they started to whisper to each other and they would stare at Hiei. Hiei didn't mind at first, but after a while it started to piss him off. Hiei found an empty hall and ran to his homeroom. He didn't take notice to what hallways he ran down or what rooms he passed. Hiei ended up running past Kurama's homeroom…
-In Kurama's homeroom-
Kurama was sitting at his desk reading a book like he usually does. Kurama then looked up and thought, "Ok that time I am sure that was Hiei's spirit energy. But why would he be in the school?" Kurama looks up at the clock and then realizes it was the same time yesterday that he sensed Hiei's spirit energy… "I wonder…" Kurama then puts his book down and listens to the rumors his fellow students are spreading. Kurama heard one that caught his attention…
"Did you hear about the new kid named Vincent?"
"Yea I heard that there is someone in this school who has a crush on him!"
"Really I heard there was two girls, one goes to this school and the other one doesn't"
"Yea I heard that too, I also heard that the two girls fought over him in the park yesterday! The one who doesn't go to this school got beaten up real badly!"
Kurama then stopped listening and started to think about the day before, "So that's what happened…" Kurama just snickered and continued to read his book…
-Meanwhile somewhere in the school-
Hiei finally arrived at homeroom. When he walked in three kids stared at him and the rest of the students stared at the board. Hiei took his seat, to his surprise Luna turned around and started to talk to him. She just asked him how his day was going. Hiei just pointed to the three kids that were staring at him and now whispering, "Basically that has been my day." Luna looked at whom he was pointing to, "Oh them… The annoying kids from the 100 ways to know if you are in the presence of a mythical creature class. You got to be careful of how you act around them. If you do anything on their lists they characterize you as that species and they will tell everyone they know. And from the looks of things they have characterized you." Hiei looked startled, "Me? But what did I do? What have they characterized me as?" Luna got up and went over to the three kids. She said something to them, they answered, and Luna came back and gave Hiei a funny look… "They say they have characterized you as a demon…" Hiei's eyes went slightly wide, "A demon!? Why?" Luna looked at him and told him everything he had done that made them decide. Hiei was slightly shocked, he just sat there and thought, "Oh great! This is just wonderful! Well I am safe as long as they only think that and don't realize that I really ma a demon…"
The bell buzzed and Hiei got up and left. He walked straight to history class. He ignored any statements by Luna and paid attention to class. At the end of class the teacher told them if they hadn't finished the dittos in class they were for homework. When the bell buzzed Hiei left for Geometry class.
When he walked into Geometry class the teacher turned to the class and said, "Since the weather is nice and I'm in a good mood, let's have class outside today!" The class cheered as they followed the teacher outside. As the class went on everyone was happy! A student raised their hand, "Um…Ms. V? I think we are missing a student…" Ms. V looked around and counted how many students were there, "Oh look at that! We are missing one student…Children can you help and figure out who is missing?" The class went slightly crazy but after a minute of chaos the class turned to Ms V and everybody said, "Vincent!" Ms. V then said, "Oh Vincent is missing? Now where could he be?"
-Up in the tree the class was sitting under-
Hiei stared down at the class and the teacher, "So clueless!" Hiei snickered and said, "I'll stay up here until she calls my name… When she calls my name then I'll appear."
-Back on the ground-
Everyone was looking around for Hiei. Finally the students stopped looking and they sat back down. Ms. V then said, "Vincent? Where are you?" Hiei stuck his head out of the tree and said, "I'm up here!" Ms. V looked up and said, " What are you doing up there?" Hiei stared and said, "Paying attention to you teaching, learning from what is being said." Ms. V just continued to look up at Hiei in the tree and said, "Really? So if you have been paying attention, what have I been saying?" Hiei looked slightly startled, he sighed and said, "The definition of a parallelogram is a quadrilateral with both pairs of opposite sides parallel. By knowing the definition of a parallelogram you can prove Theorem 5-1 which states opposite sides of a parallelogram are congruent…do I need to go any further?" Ms. V just stared at Hiei with wide eyes and said, "No you don't…you are obviously paying attention up there."
Ms. V continued class as normal and when the bell rang she led the class back into the school. Hiei went straight to Lab biology class. When he walked into the classroom Sola gave him a strange look. Hiei noticed the look, after he sat in his seat he said, "What's with that look?" Sola just changed the look on her face and said, "I have heard what the 100 WTKIYAITPOAMC kids have characterized you as. I never believe them…probably because they characterized me as either a sorceress or an apparition. It has actually come to the point that nobody believes them anymore…" Hiei was listening to Sola and then he paid attention to the teacher when class started.
When the bell buzzed to signal third period was over Mrs. Yunamoto said, "You can have a five minute brake." Sola turned and started to talk to Hiei. Hiei was listening until he sensed Shiei's energy. Hiei turned and saw Shiei looking in through the window. Sola noticed Hiei looking out the window, so she turned to see what he was looking at. Shiei noticed spotted Sola staring at her and she ducked away. Sola then turned to Hiei and said, "You know her?" Hiei turned and said, "Yes. She is a very good friend of mine. Why do you ask?" Sola just looked at Hiei and said, "Oh nothing…she just looked familiar that's all…I was trying to figure out whom she was."
After that the bell buzzed again to signal the beginning of forth period and class continued like normal. When the bell buzzed at the end of forth period the teacher said, "The only homework tonight is to look over your notes." Hiei left and went to Gym class. Hiei got yelled at again for being unprepared by not wearing the proper footwear and not wearing the proper clothing. Luna followed Hiei around the Gym and tried to talk to him until Hiei said, "Would you just leave me alone!" Hiei then went and sat in a corner, Luna went off to play in one of the activities.
After Gym Hiei went to Lunch. Hiei sat on the windowsill and stared out the window. Hiei was sitting on the windowsill for about a minute when he got a telepathic message from Shiei, "You look bored Hiei. Would you care to talk?" Hiei was slightly startled, "What do you mean I look bored? Where are you that you can see me?" Hiei looked out the window as he listened to her answer, "Look up in the tree right in front of you!" Hiei looked up and spotted Shiei sitting in the tree. She waved to him from the tree, "Hey Hiei anything 'interesting' happen today in school?" Hiei just told her he would talk to her after school for he didn't want anybody to see him talking to her in the tree. "I understand Hiei…you have to 'blend in' and if you are talking to me that wouldn't be good for your cover…bye Hiei talk after school…" Shiei jumped out of the tree and then the bell buzzed.
Hiei walked out of the lunchroom and headed for art class. During art class Hiei tried his best to pay attention and do the assignments…but Hiei wasn't the best artist in the world or his class. Hiei learned quickly though and by the end of class Hiei finished the assignments and handed them in. When the end of the day bell buzzed Hiei ran out of the school and jumped into the tree. Hiei just sat there and relaxed for a while, then he took a nap…
