Chapter 2 has arrived. For those of you, who are reading this and have read the first story, REVIEW IT! Also, you can put a good review, or a bad review. Reviews are your opinion, so it doesn't matter to me whether it's good or bad, just review!
Shuichi guided Kami through the horde of girls to show her around the school and show her to their next class. As they passed, the crowd looked at the two strangely. They've been trying to get his attention since they met the guy and he has never given the same attention to them, as he was giving to the new girl. They got a little jealous and left.
"That was odd. Where'd they all go?"
Kami couldn't help but wonder what had happen to the giant group. She looked around and shrugged it off. She studied the new environment carefully so she wouldn't have to ask Shuichi where to go 24/7 but it was hard for most of the hallways looked the same. They arrived at their next class, science (I HATE science…). Kami looked around. There were no remaining seats in the room.
The teacher grabbed Kami and introduced her to the rest of the class and set up a small desk and chair in the front of the class next to, of course, Shuichi. Kami was content with her seat BECAUSE it was next to Shuichi, but she wouldn't admit it, not even to herself.
School finally let out, it seemed like it lasted for days. Kami was leaving and saw Shuichi. She waved her hands around and ran towards him. She eventually caught up and grabbed his shoulder. Shuichi jumped a little.
"Oh, sorry, did I scare you? I thought you heard me when I shouted towards you, what were you doing that you couldn't hear?"
"I was just thinking about some things I suppose."
"Really, what is it?" she bent forward quite eager to learn as much about the young boy as possible.
"I guess it's just that I felt like I've met you before."
"Maybe you're just losing it." She said half smiling and half serious. She too was having the same feeling, although she couldn't put her finger on it.
"I suppose so. Come on, I'll walk you back home."
As they went back to the apartment near Ume's dojo, Ume spotted them. She was going to say 'hello' but stopped short and hid behind the wall once she noticed Kurama (or Shuichi) with Kami.
"Thanks for walking me home Shuichi. It was nice meeting you and thanks for showing me to all the classes…"
"It wasn't any trouble; you don't have to thank me, I was glad to do it."
Kami blushed as Shuichi bowed. He ran home and left Kami walking into her room slowly and dazed. She was half-way through the door when she heard a voice from behind her.
"So, how was your date?"
"Huh? UME! It wasn't a date…I was just walking home from school-"
"With Shuichi." She smirked.
"Will you quit that?"
"So, you DO like him right?"
Kami just blushed, backed up toward the door f her room, and shut the door.
"Oh brother." Ume rolled her eyes and went home.
Tuesday finally arrived. Ume didn't sleep well the night before; she had something that was bothering her in the back of her mid but she couldn't put her finger on it. She had a creepy feeling as she looked at her silver locket she put on her night stand.
At school that day, Ume's school got a new computer lab. It was their first week there. Yusuke and Kuwabara were playing each other in an on-line shooting game that Ume helped them hack into, while Hiei was trying hard just not to have his computer crash (can't blame him, he's never used a computer before), and Ume was typing furiously trying to find something about Kami, her parents, or the jewel she had.
She had no luck what so ever. By the end of the day all she ended up getting was a detention for not paying attention. Kuwabara and Yusuke got detention too of course, and Hiei got it for making the computer crash, and somehow, making all the computers in the room crash.
"Hiei, you're absolutely terrible with computers." Ume mocked in a murmur.
"You aren't exactly the best fighter ever." He whispered back.
Yusuke suddenly decided to pipe in, "Will you two shut up, I'm trying to sleep."
The teacher suddenly came out of no where, bent down and yelled in to the threes' ears, "Hush you three, or you both stay in for an extra hour!"
They rubbed their ears and stayed silent.
When detention was over, Yusuke left to go to his house and Kuwabara went to his.
"Hey Hiei, where are you staying tonight?"
"Where ever, I suppose."
"That's great!"
Hiei glared at her.
"I mean, you can stay at my place tonight. I believe my mother said that it was going to rain tonight."
"I guess, being a fire youkai (demon/apparition), I shouldn't get wet."
"Alright, come on." She grabbed Hiei's arm and ran home.
On the way they stopped at Kami's house.
"I wonder if she's home. I'm gonna go inside and apologize to her for what I said once before. Just head to my room, my parents will let you in. They'll recognize you, so no need to worry about how to get in."
"Just don't catch a cold. I don't want to catch it from you."
"Oh you're are so thoughtful." She said sounding mostly sarcastic.
"Hn."
Hiei went left and Ume went right.
Ume knocked on Kami's apartment door when she found it once again. She saw the door was open and let herself in. She searched around for Kami and finally found her looking out the window.
"Were you spying on me and Hiei?"
"Huh?" she turned around finally noticing Ume and was taken by surprise, "Well you spied on me and Shuichi and besides, what are you doing here?"
"I WAS gonna apologize for spying, up until I saw YOU doing it."
"Fine, fine. I was caught. Sorry, sheesh."
"And…?"
"And…" she avoided Ume's glares and continued with her sentence. "You like Hiei right?"
"What? I do NOT!"
"Yea right. You and I both know it."
"How about this, we both know who we both like, let's just both pretend this never happened and pretend neither of us was spying on the other starting tomorrow. Alright?"
"Deal."
"Now that we are off to a fresh start…I've got to go."
"Guess you can't leave your boyfriend alone."
"…I'll just leave, telling myself I didn't hear that…"
"Later."
"Sure, whatever."
Ume started to leave when she stopped. She turned around, raising her finger as though she was going to say something but she stopped and saved her questions for some other day.
-
Just as Ume was leaving, Kami too wanted to ask her something but by the time she gathered the guts to ask, Ume was long gone.
Now, I've had to do some work to make the characters sound like they would in the anime. Kurama is supposed to be mature and all that, Kuwabara is idiotic (sorry to you Kuwabara fans), Yusuke is a mix of so and so, and Hiei is cold. If you notice something they would NEVER say (besides the romantic stuff, and CERTAIN other things that must be used), please say so in a review of the chapter you found the error/s. Thank you for helping me make my FanFics better.
