This is chapter 4! Yay! Ok, to the FanFic. :racehorse music:

Ume was used to waking up in strange places, it help for travelers but she isn't exactly going around the world. She always used to sleep walk when she was younger and would always leave a mess behind her, it always seemed as though she was looking for something. Anyways, she woke up and saw Kurama.

"What are you doing in my room?"

"..?"

"Wait a second, this isn't my room…"

She sat there trying to remember what happened, when she finally remembered she apologized to Kurama. She looked at the clock nearby.

"WHAT! I'm gonna be late for class and I can't afford ANOTHER tardy! Gotta go Kurama, I'll see you soon!"

"Give the others my 'good mornings'"

"Will do!" is what Ume shouted out while running.

With that, she raced off to school as fast as she could. She was outside the building, the gate was closed and lock, Ume had no choice but to jump over it, she managed to and saw her class from the ground floor. She saw Kuwabara stare down at her, then he turned his attention to the tree near the window.

"What's so interesting outside Kuwabara?" the teacher's voice rang.

"Nothing."

The teacher looked out the window only to see nothing of any concern.

"Hmmm…pay attention got that?"

Ume was hidden behind the tree, she started climbing and got up to the top, and she reached it and jumped through the window Yusuke opened. Without the teacher even noticing she slipped into class, when the teacher wanted someone to take the attendance record to the office, Ume volunteered so she'd be able to check her name as 'present.' As she left the class she saw and some of the students bored, asleep, and less interested(than usual) in the teacher's lessons. She also saw a new kid, some boy who all the girls…and some of the guys (that's just wrong)…were swarming all over him. She just left and shrugged it off.

"What was up with everyone today?" she asked the others,"They seemed I don't know…strange…"

Yusuke replied to that comment and question.

"What do you mean? Aren't they always like that?"

"Besides, what do you mean by '…strange…?'" asked Kurama with a concern look.

"You're just a beginner, quit worrying."

"I don't know, I guess I didn't have much of a good rest last night (which she knew was a lie, she slept like a baby last night, she was lucky Kurama had said nothing)."

This is what she had said, but she knew something was going on, because, like Hiei had said, she was just a beginner in these missions, she doubted her senses and just ignored them but they didn't seem to go away. As Ume was on her way back home she ran into Hiei.

"Don't you think you should stop doubting your own senses? You may be getting Sprit Awareness, and it seems yours are better than Kuwabara's."

"But you said yourself that I was "just a beginner."

"If I said you were the weakest and most pathetic fighter I have ever seen, would you believe me?"

"…..No, I wouldn't BELIEVE you, but I wouldn't be surprised if you said it.. Anyways, so what do you think of my theory, unless it's another lie."

"I wouldn't completely put it out of the question, but could also be a trick. For now, it's in neutral. Better than nothing."

"Sure, sure, did you discuss this with Kurama?"

"….Yeah, he said that he'd keep an eye out for anything suspicion at his school and around town as well."

"That's good, what about the other two?"

"Asked The Detective, he doubted it still. As for Kuwabara, I didn't even bother to ask, even if I wanted to, he probably wouldn't have understood and I couldn't find him anyways."

Ume began to stare at Hiei for several seconds.

"What?"

"That's the most you've ever said to me since we've met."

"Hn."

"Never mind, anyways, back to the case. I guess it makes sense that Yusuke doubts it, after all, Keiko was one of the people who I thought there was something wrong with, I guess he's in denial."

"The Detective has too big of a weak spot for his friends and for his heart, it's going to be his undoing, if he keeps believing in such foolishness, he'll just be killed."

Ume rolled her eyes.

"..."

"Anyways, I should be getting home, you wanna head to my place, and we have plenty of extra room while no classes are being taken. It's only for one night, you gotta try sleeping in something else besides that tree ya know? Why do you like that tree so much anyways?"

"You've forgotten already?" he said coolly and calmly.

"FORGOTTEN ABOUT WHAT?"

"Never mind, if tell me why you were drawing a picture of me, I'll tell you why I like that tree so much. Anyways, I'll stay at your place if you stop bugging me to go."

"OK! But I'm not telling you why I drew that picture, got that? Not by a long shot."

"Same here."

They just kept on walking along the road leading to Ume's house/dojo, not saying another word to each other.
