Chapter 3

Lying Through Your Teeth Again

Hiei mumbled something under his breath as he walked in. "So what happened?"

"Nothing. Lets just get on with this." Kurama shrugged it off with a worried glance. The gang was just about to get started when they heard a bang on the door. Everyone looked confused. "I'll get it." Hiei grumbled. Hiei opened the door slightly before it was slammed open. "Hey! What the hell! Why the fuck did you do that f-" Hiei quite talking when he realized who it was.

"WHAT DID YOU SAY YOU WORTHLESS PIECE OF SHIT!" Sanku asked, more like yelled.

"Why are you here?" Hiei said backing up. He had to close the door behind him so his father wouldn't know any one else was here.

"I FOLLOWED YOU IDIOT! Now were are those two woman you brought here?" His father said with lustful eyes.

"What two women?" Sanku slapped Hiei.

"Don't take me for an idiot. It may have been dark but I still saw you with two women!" Hiei backed up and slowly and carefully closed the door behind him. Then he inched away from it.

"What's going on up there?" Hina asked. Kurama looked worried and he slowly climbed the stairs and peeked through the lock hole. He gasped when he said Hiei's father.

"Every one stay quiet." Kurama whispered. Once they were quiet they listened to the argument going on up stairs.

"WHERE ARE THEY!" Hiei cringed. 'Think Hiei Think!' Hiei thought.

"There is no one here." Hiei said. "Just me."

"YOU'RE LYING!" Sanku punched Hiei. Hiei slammed into a wall at the opposite end of the room. "Come on son don't make me do this the hard way...I really don't want to hurt you...just give me those women you were with." Hiei sat in the rubble and shook his head. "DAMN YOU!" Sanku charged Hiei again. Hiei looked down. 'I must protect them.' Just as Sanku was about to hit Hiei a green vine stretched out from of the ground and grabbed Sanku. "WHAT THE FUCK!"

"If I were you I'd just leave right now. Or you'll have to answer to us." Kurama said emerging from the basement with Yusuke and Kuwabara behind him.

"You're a demon aren't you?" Sanku grumbled. Kurama smirked.

"DAMN RIGHT!" Yusuke shouted. Sanku slowly backed away.

"I'll get you later...son." Hiei turned his head. Kurama walked over to Hiei and held out his hand.

"You ok?" Hiei took his hand and stood up. Yusuke brushed some dust off his back.

"Of course I'm fine. You shouldn't have come out."

"And what just let that guy beat the crap put of ya? NO WAY!" Hiei shook his head.

"You can't beat him either Yusuke." Hiei said walking away.

"So!"

"Yeah we were lucky. He didn't see through our bluff." Kurama said smiling.

"Some day I'll kill him." Hiei said before going back down stairs.

"HIEI! Are you ok?" Yukina said running up to him. Hiei only nodded. Hiei walked over to his backpack and rummaged through it pulling out a piece of paper. He walked over to Yukina and handed her the paper. "Here are the lyrics. I have two songs in mind. But I'm also working on a couple more."

"Hiei why don't we show her how we do it?" Yusuke suggested. Hiei only nodded. The gang set everything up.

"Play Track 13." Hiei said to the gang. The gang nodded and Kurama started it off with a slowly guitar sound. Hiei leaned towards the microphone.

(The song I had in mind was 'Take Me Under' by THREE DAYS GRACE. From the 'do not copy-and-paste lyrics I can not place them on the story. If you want to see the lyrics you have to look them up. Sorry and of course I DO NOT OWN THEM!)

Hiei and the gang stop playing and step away from the makeshift stage. Yukina and Hina smile as Hiei approaches.

"Get it? It's quiet simple really." Yukina smiled feeling a lot more confident.

"You were great." Hiei smiled slightly.

"Here I'll show you how to read the notes." Yukina nodded as Hiei showed her.

"Thanks Hiei. I'll practice it." Hiei nodded as he walked Hina and Yukina up to there door.

"Have a good night." Hiei said turning.

"Good bye Hiei." They both said. Hina watched Hiei's retreating back. 'He seems so familiar...'

That next day Hiei and Yukina were in art class. Hina decided to go to Yukina's school and see what classes she had. She walked up to the office door and opened it. She went up to the counter and asked if she could see her daughter's schedule. The lady nodded.

"What is your daughter's name ma'am?"

"Yukina." She nodded and found her schedule. Hina took a copy and made her way to Yukina's class. When she reached the room she knocked on the door. Ms. Kaoru answered the door. She smiled and greeted her.

"Good morning." Hina smiled.

"Hello I'm Hina and my daughter is Yukina. I'm just wondering what she is doing in her classes." Ms. Kaoru smiled and nodded. She explained what they were doing in art at the current moment. The students were in another room. She walked up to the window and looked in. Hiei was sitting next to Yukina helping her with her clay model. Yukina laughed as Hiei commented on something.

"To be honest with you this is the first time Hiei has smiled so much." The teacher said absent mindedly. Hina looked at Hiei.

"Do you know anything about Hiei?" The teacher looked sadly at the boy.

"He's had a hard life. I don't know much except what I read in the newspaper."

"Like what?"

"Well...his last step-mother was sent to jail for abusing him." Hina gasped slightly. "That's not all. Once she was sent to jail the bruises and cuts still appeared. When he first came here he never talked. He seemed really depressed." The teacher sighed. "In the papers they say that was his twenty-first step-mother."

"Really? Poor kid being tossed around all those people."

"His father is another story. That man." The teacher growled slightly. "He is very hard to get along with. I can only imagine what Hiei goes through every day with that man."

"Is he that bad?"

"Oh he is worse that you think. He drinks, smokes, and even picks up girls off the street. I swear they need to take that poor boy away from his father. In the newspapers they have at least five descriptive trials between Hiei and his father. That's why I know so much about his rough life." Hina sighed and looked at Hiei smile slightly. "He's a great kid. Just has a hard time getting his homework done. The other teachers around here don't understand what Hiei's been through. They just think he is a boy with no discipline. The truth is his a boy with too much discipline...it wears you down after so many years."

What do you think so far? And for Koriaena yes Kurama is still a Yoko. Everyone is still the same.
