Chapter 3
"Well, Kuwabara," the teacher said, glaring at the baka who had just entered the room. "So glad you could join us." There was a sounding of sniggers and whispers from all over the room as Kazuma Kuwabara made his way to his seat.
"What was it this time?" Yusuke asked, irritated at Kuwabara. "Did your mommy make you stay home again?"
"For your information, Urameshi," Kuwabara said as he finally took his seat. "I was busy helping a poor lady by taking care those Toguro jerks."
"Hey," Kira whispered, poking Kuwabara, who had taken a seat in front of her, on the shoulder. "You asshole. I could've handled that myself. I just didn't want to be late." Kuwabara's eyes lit up when he saw Kira and he turned, smirking to Yusuke.
"See, Urameshi?" he said in an excited voice. "This is the girl I was helping! You can ask her!" Yusuke's face turned a bright shade of red as he stood up out of his seat.
"NO, BAKA! I SWEAR! YOU'RE ALWAYS MAKING EXCUSES!" Kira could see a vein popping on Yusuke's forehead and flinched as spit sprayed across her desk.
"Actually," she started, feeling bad for the stupid Kuwabara. "He was helping me this morning. Those guys were all over me." She saw Yusuke's shoulders relax a bit at this, but he still did not sit down.
"Now, now, Yusuke," the teacher stated timidly, not wanting to push the boy any further. "Please sit down. I don't think you'd like to make another trip to the office now, would you?"
"ACTUALLY, THAT IS EXACTLY WHAT I WOULD LIKE!" he exclaimed, storming out the door of the classroom. Everyone just sat there, awestruck as the teacher fell into his seat, flabbergasted.
"Yusuke!" A girl sitting in the row next to Kira stood and followed him out the door. Kira saw the boy with black hair glance around the room and finally get up and move out the door as well. She sighed, following him with her eyes as the teacher tried his best to continue with the lesson.
"Please, just leave me alone, Keiko." Keiko stopped in her tracks, her eyes filled with tears, and turned in the opposite direction. Yusuke did not expect her to give up so easily, and was slightly disappointed when he saw she had left.
"What's wrong?" Hiei questioned as he passed Keiko. She stopped and looked at him, tears now rolling down her cheeks and onto the floor. What had Yusuke said to her this time? When she continued walking, so did Hiei, in the direction Yusuke had gone. When Hiei found him, Yusuke was sitting with his face in his hands.
"What do you want, Hiei?" Yusuke snapped when Hiei stood in front of him with his arms crossed over his chest.
"What was all that back there?" came the emotionless reply. Yusuke looked up to find Hiei's face, void of emotion, staring down at him. Since when did Hiei care? He had expected him to be the last of his friends to follow him out of the classroom.
"Well…I…" Yusuke didn't know how to explain what had happened. It seemed as if he had just been growing more and more impatient all the time…with everybody.
"Look," Hiei interrupted his train of thought. "The real reason I followed you is…" Hiei paused for a moment. Could he really trust Yusuke to understand what he was about to say? Yusuke wasn't exactly the quickest to figure things out, but maybe he could, seeing as Yusuke knew of his powers as a fire apparition. He had also told Yusuke of the story before. He couldn't have forgotten, could he?
"Yeah?" Yusuke was looking up at him impatiently, tapping his fingers. Hiei decided he should just tell him the truth. After all, it was all for the best in the end…
"The girl. The new one," Hiei began, showing none of the emotions that were going through his mind. He continued when Yusuke nodded at him. "Well, she…she's the one. The one I've been telling you about." Yusuke's expression told Hiei he knew exactly what he was talking about.
"The one who will break the curse?" Yusuke questioned, getting to his feet.
"Yes," replied Hiei, now looking up at his friend. "You see, she is no ordinary human girl. She is a fire apparition, like me; or partially, at least. I could sense her presence even before she reached the school this morning."
"Well," Yusuke scratched his head almost sleepily. "You think she knows who you are?"
"No. I doubt she even knows who she is yet." Hiei thought back to the nervous look on the girl's face when she had walked into the classroom. She didn't exactly look like the kind he knew she was. He reckoned she had no idea of the demon spirit that resided inside her.
"So," He was called back to the present by the sound of Yusuke's neutral voice. He questioned his friend with his eyes before sighing and continuing to speak. "When should we take her to Koenma?" Hiei thought of what Yusuke said. Would she agree to come with them? Even if she didn't, he knew what he would do. He would force her.
"How about this evening, after school?" Yusuke paused for a moment before answering, looking as if he were contemplating something.
"Right," he finally answered. "I'll tell Kuwabara, Kurama, and Botan. See you then?"
"Of course," Hiei said as he watched Urameshi walk away and out the door. He felt as if a huge weight had just been lifted from him shoulders. Tonight would be the night that everything changed. It would be the beginning of the end of his torture, which he had endured for far too long.
...hehe...hehe...oh, the possibilities...hehe...OK, what? Oh, sorry ADD just kicked in, yet again, and I haven't taken my medication yet(and I'm being serious...not joking!), so I don't know when I'll put the next chapter up. Anyways, sorry if you're actually into this...which I doubt many people are...
