Crimson: Look. I am so, so, so, so, so, so sorry I have not updated in like forever. Please forgive me. I was on vacation, and then I went to my first day of High School. I have had homework every single day so far, until now, which is the reason I am writing. That and I was lazy.

Noel's POV

I sighed after my brother and I split for the different dorms. At least I know he is only a few doors away. I already miss him, and it is only been five seconds. I stopped at my door, only waiting for Sky and Hiei to catch up. Needless to say, I only had to wait about three seconds before Sky came bouncing down the hallway, crashing in to me, sending us both into the ground.

"Opps! I am so sorry Miss Noel. I didn't mean to. Honest. I," she started.

"Sky!" I interrupted, completely annoyed. I thought I taught her not to ramble on and on. She looked at me for a second before smacking her forehead with an annoyed sigh.

"Sorry, I am rambling again aren't I?" she asked. I nodded simply.

"Why are you both on the floor?"

I quickly glanced up to see Hiei looking at us oddly. My next act surprised me. I actually blushed. I quickly got it under control and decided to remain calm, keeping the little dignity I had left in tacked. I said the truth.

"Sky bumped into me, and we both fell." After a moment, I glared at him and added. "Can you stop standing there like a baka and help me up? Or at least help Sky up."

He returned my glare with one of his own, but lowered his hand down, offering it to me anyway. I raised my hand, clasping it in his firmly. He then, without any difficulty pulled me up off the ground in one fluid motion. I turned to look at him, surprised by his strength, however he was no longer there. Instead, I turned to find him helping Sky up. She gave him a hug thank you, and quickly proceeded to enter the room, leaving Hiei and I standing in the hallway alone.

He then turned to me stiffly and scowled.

"Don't expect me to help you next time you fall, baka onna. I merely helped because the damn kitsune said it would be 'courteous to repay you.'" He stated grumpily.

I smiled wryly at his statement. "Don't worry," I started to say. "I have no plan of ever needing your help again." I added, standing firmly where I was with my arms across my chest. He had to have been the first person to ever insult me by treating like I was beneath him.

He snorted and opened the door, and paused halfway in the doorframe.

"Do you plan on standing out there all night, or are you coming in?" He stated, turning to look at me with his eyebrow rose questionably. I toke a step back, surprised, but slowly consented in following in after him.

Maybe he was treating her like an equal, as apposed to others who feared her because she survived him.

I smiled, as I turned off the light and laid my head on the pillow. I almost instantly went to sleep, but I couldn't help but think that I liked the though of being an equal, albeit to Hiei. He certainly was interesting.

Kuronue's POV

I sighed once again, and turned over on my side, burying my head into the softness of my pillow. Since when did Damen snore? I sat still, silently cursing for my excellent hearing as the cursed sound ignored my pillow barrier, and forced me to listen to it anyway.

I gave up, and turned to lie on my back, opening my eyes to take a glance at the clock.

1:00 A.M.

Damn. I lifted my right hand and rubbed my eyes warily. It was no use trying to go to sleep, Damen was doing a wonderful job of making sure of that. Friend or not, I was really thinking about killing him.

I sighed again. I obviously wasn't going to get any sleep here. I got up off my bed, grabbed my pillow and blanket, and exited the room to head to the only place I could think of at the time.

Sarah's room.

I walked across the hall, stopping when I reached the door. I knocked twice, and waited, hoping she could hear it. I was about to knock again, when the door opened to reveal her sleepy form. She tilted her head to the side slightly.

"Kenji?" she asked softly. "What are you doing here?"

"I couldn't sleep. "I replied sheepishly. She chuckled softly.

"It's my brother's snoring isn't it? The silly git." I simply nodded. She smiled, and moved to the side, letting me in.

"You know, you are lucky I don't have a roommate yet. I guess you can take the extra bed." She yawned, and walked towards her bed, flopping down on it. I shook my head and copied her actions, though a little more gracefully. I was just about to fall asleep when I heard her voice.

"Thank you Kenji."

I opened up one eye. "For what?" I asked finally. But I was too late. She was already asleep. I smiled again.

"Thank you too Sarah."

Noel's POV

I slowly opened my right eye to take a glance at the alarm clock. As usual, she had woken up about 10 minutes before it was to go off. The lord might be a bastard, but at least he was sane enough to not make everyone do anything until 9:30. It was currently 9:15.

It was then that I felt the sensation that someone watching me. I turned to my side strategically, making my eyes mere slits to look through. What I saw surprised me. There, dressed and sitting on a chair in the corner, was Hiei. His crimson eyes piercing into her own.

"You can open your eyes onna. I know you're awake." He said smugly. I opened my eyes in surprise, and slowly rose to a sitting position on the bed.

"How could you tell?" I asked amazed. He shrugged, but didn't say anything. I glared at him for a moment before turning to see if Sky was awake.

She wasn't. This was good, because she needed all the sleep she could get after what happened last night. I sighed softly, and finally got up off the bed, stretching my legs out. I then walked towards the small desk, pulled out a brush, and started the painful task of brushing my disheveled hair.

I should really start thinking about cutting it.

Again I felt the sensation of someone watching me. Hiei. He was really starting to annoy me, but I did nothing to reveal anything to him. By the time I was done with my hair, it was time to get Sky up. I turned to look at Hiei.

"You can leave now. Walk down to the to the corner of the hallway. You will probably see the others already there. It's where we meet before chores." I explained. His face remained emotionless as he quickly exited the room.

I shook my head, slowly shaking Sky awake. What was wrong with him? How long had he been awake? And why was he staring at her?

Crimson: I know the wakeup was boring, but I just needed them already up so that I could get to the fun chores next chapter. Really, they will be hilarious. Especially with Steph, Yusuke, and company. Prepare for the best time in the kitchen in a long time. Hehehehehe.
