Sarasaki High's Gaffe
Chapter Two - Hello, hello again!
~*~Few days after beginning of school
"Bliiing!" The school bell rang as everyone sighed in relief and walked out of class. Botan hadn't finished her algebra and sat in her desk working as fast as she could.
"Botan, come on. We got to go home now." Keiko said waving a hand at her from the door as the teacher, Mrs. Liberty, walked out with a bunch of paper work.
"I know Keiko!" Botan shouted as she stood, "But I can't get this work finished, it's the fourth day and we're already doing something hard and algebra isn't my-"
"Oh Botan, nobody's finished yet!" Keiko said walking over to her and looking at Botan's paper. 'Eh.'
"Uh Botan.." Keiko said as she saw Botan put square root of five thousand three hundred and twenty nine divided by seventy three was twenty four point three with bar.
"Yeah Keiko?" Keiko pointed her finger to the bar above the three, "Oh! I don't know what that's for but it looks like it belongs there with all those three's." Botan snorted.
Keiko giggled, "Botan! It's seventy three's square root!" Keiko shook her head, "You have to use a calculator if you don't know how to... see what goes into seventy three times itself, like 8.5."
Botan looked at her confused, "You're really smart Keiko! Do you push the check thingy, right?" Keiko nodded, "Now forget about this, this is homework.. you do it at home."
"But who's going to help me with-"
"I will. Me and Kurama. We always have an after school tutorial party at his house." Keiko suggested, "You can come over with us. Yusuke and Kuwabara usually comes but they never work." Keiko sighed.
"Excellent! I'll have to go home to tell kasaan first and then I'll be around." Botan said as she put all of her books in her book bag, "And um.. I need lessons on the violin." Botan blushed as they walks out the classroom.
They walked to the front door to see all the students gone but Kurama, Kuwabara and Yusuke. They were standing at the doorway waiting for someone, Keiko and Botan. Yusuke noticed them,
"Well what took so long?" Yusuke asked as he jumped up and slammed his arm onto Keiko's shoulder. Keiko took his arm off, "Botan thought that we had to finish our work in class."
Yusuke looked at Botan as she dragged a heavy book bag down the steps of the school, "Botan, it's called 'Home' work. Get it?" Yusuke said smirking, "And why do you have all those books with you?"
"I have to have a memory refresh." Botan said as she dropped her book bag in front of her feet where the group stood, "I'm going over Kurama's with Keiko to have that ol' tutorial."
Yusuke shook his head, "It's just like talking to teachers Botan, they don't translate it into English." Kuwabara chuckled, "Yeah, like when they said something about circles being 360 degrees... I didn't know circles were hot and cold."
"Rotation Kuwabara." Kurama snarled, "360 degree rot-"
"Whatever brainy act. Lets go." Yusuke said grabbing Keiko's book bag since he didn't take his home, "Lets go by the park, eh?" Yusuke asked as some of them agreed.
Botan cracked her knuckles and bent over to pick her book bag up as she saw someone's hand gripping it before she did. She looked up, "Oh thanks Kurama!" Botan stood, "If you don't mind."
"Sure I don't." Kurama picked the book bag up with ease, "No problem." He said as they caught up to the group.
They walked along the sidewalk of the town, being greeted and once again thanked for saving them from the dead creatures that attacked before. 'They still haven't gotten over it.' Botan thought.
Soon as the Tantei arrived at the park, they decided to take a break and get ice cream and milkshakes. "Get me a banana split with extra chocolate sauce." Keiko said as Yusuke mumbled,
"Do you think I get money from my mom for just being there?" Yusuke asked as she glared, "But.. *sigh* I guess I can scrape up something." Yusuke dug into his pocket to get out a dollar and some pennies.
"What would you like Kuwabara, I know you don't have your own money.. like always." Kurama shook his head with his arms folded across his chest, "Butter pecan?"
Kuwabara started to dance around like a little kid getting ice cream, "Yeah!" He said as he skipped around as Botan laughed.
Kurama got his own, "A vanilla milk shake please, with-" He looked to Kuwabara who held up three fingers and lipped four, "four scoops of butter pecan." Kurama laughed.
Yusuke stepped up, "I'd like a banana split without extra chocolate, and a nutty sundae, with strawberries and nuts and whip cream." He smirked as Keiko growled,
"You said you didn't have any money Yusuke!"
"Not for you." He said and laughed, "No Keiko I'm just kidding.. I'll let you have some of mine." He smiled as he asked for two spoons in the sundae bowl.
Botan stepped up and pulled out her pink money wallet, 'I only have forty-six dollars left.' She thought, "I'll have two scoops of strawberry and one scoop of vanilla with whip cream and a cherry on top."
Botan smiled her smile as Yusuke and Kuwabara anime dropped, "How the heck can you afford that?" Yusuke asked as he looked into Botan's wallet, "Holy!" He grabbed a five as Botan gasped.
Yusuke laughed as he started to run around the ice cream polar stand and around the park. Botan chased him, "Yusuke!" She shouted as Keiko shouted his name too, holding both ice creams.
"Wham!" Yusuke slammed into a tree as he fell to the ground. Botan ran over laughing, "Are you alright?" She asked squatting beside him, "Now give me my money!" She slapped him on the head.
"Here! Here." He handed her a tardy slip instead of a bill. Botan looked at it confused, "Yusuke this isn't my money." Yusuke looked around, "Well I- It was- I don't know where it went." He searched.
Botan frowned, "Yusuke! You shouldn't have took it from the start."
"I was just playing around B." He said standing, "It's somewhere around here." He said as he ran over to get his ice cream.
Botan crawled around looking for her bill. The group walked over with their ice cream in their hand, "What you looking for Botan?" Keiko asked. Botan pointed at Yusuke, "He lost my money!"
Keiko growled and glared at Yusuke, "Help her find that money Yusuke! You lost it and you shouldn't have grabbed it anyways!" She stomped her feet as Yusuke sighed and looked for Botan's money.
Botan got up and thanked Keiko as she dusted her uniform skirt off, "Here's your ice cream Botan." Kurama handed it to her. Botan took it and almost licked it and noticed,
"Hey." She said as she looked around her ice cream, "Where's my cherry?" She asked as she walked to the man in the polar, and asked him the same. The man said he put it on top like she wanted it.
Botan looked at Kurama who was looking innocently, with a smirk, at the sky. Botan elbowed him and smirked at him.
Kuwabara thought of it, "A ha ha ha!!! He ate Botan's cherry!! Get it?!?!" Kuwabara laughed hard as Yusuke began to laugh.
Keiko looked at them in disgust, "You guys are sick." Keiko walked along with the two as Kurama agreed. Botan didn't understand it and shrugged.
~*~Kurama's
Looks behind him to see Keiko and Botan, "Where did Yusuke and Kuwabara go?" He asked as Botan and Keiko stood quietly behind, they both shrugged. Kurama shrugged with a small smile and opened the door.
His mother had been walking through the kitchen, "Hey Shiori!" Botan and Keiko both shouted as Shiori smiled at them and hugged her son, "Ohayo Shuichi."
"Hello Keiko." She looked at Botan, "And who's this Shuichi?" Shiori asked looking awkwardly at her. Botan grinned,
"This is Botan kasaan. She just dyed her hair and um.." He shrugged nervously as he put his elbow on Botan's shoulder. Shiori looked at her hair, "Looks great Botan."
Kurama led the girls to his room. Shiori watched her son as she shook his head, "Looks like he has a girl everyday." She said to herself as she began to clean up.
Botan and Keiko sat on the floor as Kurama blushed, "Here." He got two chair for them as they smiled and sat in them, "Thanks!" They both said as he nodded quietly.
"Um, you can start. I'll be right back." He said as he walked out of his room to the bathroom. Keiko and Botan took out their books.
"What first?" Keiko asked as Botan pointed to her Algebra book. "Ok, page 269." Keiko said as she explained all the negatives, integers, whole numbers, rationals, irrationals, fractions, decimals and all.
Kurama had came into the room quietly and watched as the two babbled about related and unrelated stuff about school and as so, Botan got updated.. like a robot!
Kurama sat on the floor in front of the two, 'Oh wait!' Kurama jumped up with his eyes squinted and sat on his bed. Keiko and Botan looked at him confused. Kurama threw his hand innocently.
~*~3 hours later
"So now that we went over all the subjects except Biology, which I really don't know about, Kurama can take over." Keiko said as they looked to see Kurama knocked out on his bed sleep.
Keiko and Botan watched in awe as Kurama inhaled silently. A long silence period passed of silence until,
"Kurama-kun!" Botan shouted and jumped on his bed, "We still haven't done Biology."
Kurama jumped up wide eyed, "Huh! What? Biology? Weh-what?" He stuttered and looked around. Keiko and Botan was sitting silently waiting for him.
"Oh right." Kurama got up. "Biology." He mumbled, "Main definition is environmental and natural studies. It's all about ecology." Botan looked confused,
Kurama rubber his face, "Conservationism and the ecosystem..." Botan thought, "The ecosystem is like.. an environment with life, population and networks. Like the water cycle and food chain and web!"
Kurama and Keiko clapped, "Right." Kurama said as he began to explain all the stuff about the earth and nature.. rock phases and meiosis, mitosis and etc.
Botan yawned after learning all the possible things Kurama knew, (probably a lot) and working on her homework. Keiko saw Botan slumping in her chair as she stopped Kurama from blabbing about stuff.
"Uh Kurama, I think she's worn out." Keiko giggled, "I'll take her home." Keiko suggested, "I have to give her lessons on the violin anyway. But I think I'll do that tomorrow."
Kurama nodded, "Ah ok. I would like to walk you two home, to make sure you get there safely." He said as Keiko shrugs, "If you want."
After getting their stuff together, Kurama walked Keiko and Botan to their house.. which was down the street from him, but being overprotective and a good friend, Kurama did it anyway.
He waved to both and headed back to his house, instead of taking the long way, he took a long walk around the block and pass the park. As he walked pass the park he heard some mumbling and girls giggling.
Kurama wasn't a nosey person but it kind of sounded weird. Someone grunting and the others laughing.. 'Hmm.' He thought as he approached the sound makers.
There was the B-Trio, torturing a guy, unnoticeable. Kurama walked over to them and looked at them curiously. Christine, the leader backed from the pinned down guy, "Hey cute boy."
Kurama's eyes narrowed as she pulled him by the lock of his hair again, "What are you doing out here so late?" Christine asked as Kurama looked around her to see.. Hiei!
"Oh, is that your little friend? He's a little selfish but he's very fun to play with when bored." Christine said as she walked back over towards Hiei, who was tightly held by Tara and the other girl, Fallon.
"We like to pull his little ears and.. other things that girls like to do to boys." Christine said as Kurama looked at her with a look of 'Get-away-from-him-or-die.' Christine giggled evilly.
"This guy could kill you in a heart beat, I don't see how you're holding him down." Kurama said as he tried to walk over to Hiei, Christine stopped him.
"If you don't want to play with us you better back off." Christine said as she snapped her fingers to let go Hiei. Tara and Fallon slung Hiei into the tree trunk and walked beside Christine.
"Girls, lets go." They walked down the sidewalk of the park giggling.
Kurama sighed in relief and walked over to the Hiei who had been sitting on the ground silently cursing at himself, "Damn idiotic baka ningen onnas!!!" He hopped up as Kurama approached him.
"What were they messing with you for?"
"I guess because they couldn't find no one else around. I try hiding in a different spot but they always find me." Hiei said mumbling something and looking away.
"Hiei.. you're a demon. You don't run from ningen girls." Kurama got cut off as Hiei's eyes met his, "They're not ningens kitsune." Hiei leaned against the tree.
Kurama looked at him confused, "Well of course they are. They look like it and they even go to my school."
"Have you noticed they traveled like a clique everywhere they go? Heck, who knows where they live." Hiei said as Kurama sat under the tree beside him.
"But.. what do they do to you?" Kurama asked as Hiei shot a glare, "What's it to you? It's none of your business." Kurama quirked his brows, "Fine."
Hiei sighed, "They do what all girls do when torturing. They beat you up and experiment your body!" Hiei shouted as Kurama's eyes widened.
"Experiment your body?"
"I don't even want to walk about it." Hiei said crossing his arms. Kurama looked at him worriedly and shrugged, "Well Hiei, don't then."
Hiei, once again sighed, "They took my bandana off and found my Jagan eye." Hiei said not in his usual tone, "They said if I tried to escape them they'd blackmail me."
"So? Almost half the town knows about you being a demon."
"Yeah so. But these girls aren't just any old black mailing girls. They're also demons. They're demons stronger than Yusuke's strongest level." Hiei said tossing a rock into the sidewalk path.
Kurama's mouth flung open, "So why do you think they.. torture guys?"
"I don't know. Why you asking me?" Hiei said standing, "It's getting late, and I'm worn out. Do you mind me?" Kurama shook his head, "Not at all Hiei." Kurama said as they walked back to Kurama's.
~*~Next day at Sarasaki High
"Great guess Ms. Yakima, "Mr. Cullen said waling around the room. "But the correct answer is A. Sound waves travel in longitudinal waves." He said as everyone sighed.
"Bliiing!" The bell rung as everyone like any other day walked out mumbling and talking. Botan was left behind today because Keiko wasn't there. 'She's probably sick or something.'
Botan walked out the classroom and heard someone call her name from inside, she turned to see Kurama running up to her, "Hey. Why'd you leave me behind.?"
"Oh, gomen Kurama. I totally forgot about you since Keiko isn't here and Yusuke and Kuwabara left me so I thought I'd go catch them." Botan said to Kurama as he nodded.
"It's ok. I'm just a.. unnoticeable person when someone's gone eh?" Kurama chuckled a fake chuckle. Botan shook her head, "No! Just today." She said as they walked down the hall to their next class.
"I see our tutorial studies paid off well huh?" He said as he saw Botan's quiz paper hanging out her book with a 94 marked in red.
"Oh yes! Definitely."Botan said as she thanked him and Keiko. "Thanks to you guys, I'm an Albert Einstein." She giggled.
"Yeah."
"Hey guys." Kuwabara said walking up in the middle of them with his friends behind him whispering about Botan's new look, "What are you two doing after school?"
They both shrugged, "More tutorial partying."
"Not cool! But I need some help with my biology Kurama." Kuwabara slapped him on the back, "My friend was having a party and he said you were invited." Kuwabara said looking at Kurama.
Botan saw Yusuke staring at a paper hanging on the wall and walked over to him. Botan slapped her hand on his shoulder, "Hey Yusuke." Yusuke mumbled something and nodded.
"Nani?"
"Nothing. Just reading something." Yusuke said staring at the paper as Botan turned her view to it also. She gasped and clasped her hands together. "Wow! A festival dance." She said grinning, "I'd love to go to one."
"Yeah me too." He muttered under his breath. "Where's Kurama and Kuwabara?" He asked as she pointed over to them.
Botan walked back over to them as they all were talking about the party and having girls giving dances and all that fancy stuff; what boys talk about now.
"I'd like to do Christine but she's so mean!" One of Kuwabara's friends said as they all laughed. Kurama stood silently with a disgusted look on his face.
"What do you mean do?" Botan broke in. The chubby guy yelped as he saw Botan, "D-do as in.. do a joke on Christine?" He said as Yusuke and Kuwabara goofily chuckled.
Botan smiled, "Wouldn't everyone?"
Everybody stood silently as the innocent Botan blinked back at them. "Um yeah! Sure." They all said, trying to keep in tears of laughter.
"Kuwabara, I'll see you and your bros then." The other friend of Kuwabara's said as they walked off.
Botan sighed, "Finally."
"Finally what?" Yusuke asked.
"You finished so we can go to our next class." Botan said as Yusuke and Kuwabara walked towards the guys bathroom.
"Oh we're skipping next period."
"Yeah, Mrs. Guild. She's a elderly lady and can't notice anyone missing. Plus, she's not able to come in the guy's bathroom so we do this a lot during her period."
Botan's mouth flung open, "I can't believe you Yusuke. I'm so disappointed."
"Yeah Urameshi!" Kuwabara sided with Botan. "You too Kuwabara." Kuwabara looked at Botan, "Oh c'mon now." He crossed his arms.
"Anyways. I'll be seeing you after next period." Botan said walking to her class. Kurama had already went to his class, which was on another floor.
For being late, Botan had to have detention for a week. "A week!?" She squealed as the teacher nodded, "A week!?" She repeated like instant replay. "Fine!" Botan shouted, "You old no hearted hag." She muttered.
Everybody gasped.
"What did you say Ms. Botan Yakima!" Mrs. Guild said standing from her desk and fixing her glasses on her face right.
"I said! 'you--old--HAG!'" Botan said standing over the desk. Mrs. Guild almost smacked Botan but smacked the stuff off of her desk, "You terrible young lady!"
"Gr!" Botan said without thinking, "You wrinkled sagging douche bag!" Botan shouted as the rest of the people in her class laughed. "That is it! I've had it with you! Get out of my classroom!"
Botan walked to the door and turned around and blew her tongue at Mrs. Guild as the mates kept laughing.
Yusuke and Kuwabara had been walking up and down the halls when they spotted Botan sitting on her rump outside of the classroom door.
"What are you doing out here Botan?" Kuwabara asked bending over in her face.
"I got kicked out."
Yusuke gasped, "Now you disappoint me young lady!" Yusuke shook his finger in her face as Mrs. Guild walked out the door and saw Yusuke and Kuwabara.
"What are YOU two doing out here?" Mrs. Guild asked with her arms folded.
Yusuke and Kuwabara laughed nervously and apologized as they began to walk into the classroom, "No! You can join her in detention and you can also sit out here and do nothing." Mrs. Guild slammed the door.
Yusuke and Kuwabara laughed slumping against each other and the wall. Botan shook her head, 'They're really goof balls.'
~*~Lunch
"Hey guys," Botan came over to the table of tour and sat beside Yusuke, "I've just noticed, where's Hiei?" Botan asked as Kurama choked on his pizza slice.
"Quick! CPR!!" Kuwabara shouted as Kurama tried to laugh and shake his head. Kuwabara slapped him on the back as he swallowed the chunk.
"Thanks Kuwabara." Kurama said laughing as the other three did also. "Anyways, I saw Hiei last night." Kurama said as he turned his tone to a whisper, "-with Christine and the others torturing him."
Kuwabara and Yusuke's eyes widened, "Sick chicks!!" They both shouted. Botan made a raging glare, "They're sick and guys still fall for them!?!"
Yusuke looked at Botan, "Well look at Christine she's hot! Isn't she?" Yusuke asked Botan as Botan's eyes widened, "Yusuke! Do you see me as another brother or friend?"
"A friend.. that's my homie." Yusuke said putting his arm around Botan's neck. Botan nodded her head, "Right."
"Anyway, he said they're not just girls but demons who found out about his jagan eye and will black mail him if he tried to escape--ah!" He shouted as he felt someone pull his hair lock.
"Hey Christine." Kuwabara and Yusuke said at the same time sipping their juices. Christine curled her lip up and looked down to Kurama, "Hello Kurama." She said as she acted like she was going to kiss him.
"Hello Christine." Kurama muttered as Christine smirked at him and walked off. Yusuke and Kuwabara was impressed. He could even get the meanest girls with his looks.
Botan mumbled something miss-understandable.
"So like I was saying, Hiei's.. not as bold to them as everyone else. That's telling me they must be very wicked." Kurama said as Botan nodded.
"We have to go see Hiei." Yusuke said shaking his head, "I'd hate another mission but hey, it's in our life's way." Kuwabara agreed.
~*~Last Period
"Bliiing!" The bell rung as the students got up and ran out to the busses and their cars or either walked. Yusuke, Kuwabara and Kurama had left out and stood where they usually stood.
Botan came running and ran into Kuwabara, "Gomen Kuwabara." Kuwabara shrugged.
"So, we're going to the park again?"
"Where ever Hiei might be." Yusuke said as Kuwabara sighed.
"You know that little thing is always in some kind of tree." Kuwabara said crossing his arms again.
They got to the park and saw Hiei standing in front of the ice cream polar stand, doing nothing.
"Hey again Hiei." Kurama said as Hiei smiled a small smile and lost it quickly, "Hey Kurama.. Yusuke.. Kuwabara." Hiei rolled his eyes. Kuwabara rolled his too.
"Hi Hiei!" Botan shouted.
"Who the hell is that and how do you know my name?" Hiei said standing in Botan's face.
"It's me, Botan." Botan said and smiled cheerfully, "Hello again!" She shouted as Hiei started to shake his head, "Aw naw. Noooo, why did she have to come back?" Hiei asked coldly.
"C'mon Hiei." Kurama said making him stop being rude.
"Hello Botan..." He roared out, making everyone fall over. "Why do you look like that?"
"Like what?"
"Like that." He pulled her hair strand,
"Ow!" She shouted, "Because I'm a ningen now!" She shouted as people looked at her strangely.
"Hn.. now you're a baka ningen too then huh?"
A/n: See Hiei's back in the story! Yippy, yippy, yay! He didn't seem too thrilled to see Botan again, actually he wasn't happy at all. As you can see, Kurama's already in love with her but.. she can't tell he is. Anyway, review!
