Chapter 8

"History repeats itself."

Whispers flew in the hallways as Icama and Minna walked through them. Minna was looking thoroughly ticked and Icama seemed to be enjoying the attention a bit. Everyone was staring at them because they were the new students, the students that had joined right in the middle of the year.

At least Koenma had the sense to make us leave after finals, Minna thought bitterly. She had been very much against this entire thing ever since she first heard. Self-control. HA! Koenma just wanted a reason to get them out of his hair.

The bell rang and Icama dragged Minna over to their classroom. Minna looked at her best friend with a withering glare but Icama only smiled. "We shouldn't be late on our first day!"

"Oh, no, Icama. We should wait until the second day," Minna said bitterly.

"Of course, Minna."

Minna growled as the teacher motioned to them. Minna was having a serious case of déjà vu with the teacher as they waited in front for the class to stop talking. Minna suddenly felt very self-conscious in the short skirt that the school had made her wear (they had gotten shorter since Yusuke went there). Her cheeks had a tinge of pink in them as the teacher introduced them to the class.

"Class," she said, "this is Icama Yukimura and Minna Higurashi." Minna looked up at the teacher and examined her. She looked normal enough, if a bit young for teaching. Minna was about to walk to her seat when something caught her eye. A lock of brilliant green hair was sticking out from the brown hair. Minna nearly choked on air as she realized who this person might be…

Minna gasped. Her green hills were a burnt black and the sky was no longer a happy blue but a dark grey. Smoke clouded the air, making Minna cough and sputter. She silenced herself as best as she could when a large demon walked by. She hid in a bush and watched as another demon, a woman, spoke to the other one.

"Did you get them all?"

The large demon grunted what could only be a 'yes'.

"Are you sure? I thought that they had a daughter as well…if it turns out that we have not killed the entire family, it'll be your head, not mine." The woman pushed a lock of brilliant green hair out of her eyes as she stared at the other demon. The large demon paused, as if it was trying to comprehend the meaning and nodded slowly.

The woman sighed. "Whatever. Let's go." She jumped onto the large demon's shoulder and they ran away at an incredible speed. Minna watched them leave, a slight feeling of fear growing in her…

Oh, snap, Minna thought as she slowly walked to her seat. Her eyes were now huge with a mixture of fear and amazement. Of course. That tribe must have been keeping track of her as best as they could since they discovered that she was alive. She had to tell Koenma—no. Koenma didn't have to know about this. She could handle this herself. In fact, she would handle this herself.

Minna jerked back to reality when Icama punched her arm. Icama's eyes shot up to the teacher and back to Minna. Minna looked up at the teacher. "Did you say something?" she asked, feigning politeness.

"You and me need to talk after school, Miss Higurashi," she said coldly, eyeing Minna with freezing eyes that had a sense of recognition in them.

"May I ask why?" Minna said calmly, her hands betraying her calm outside. They were shaking violently as Minna tried to hide them.

"We will talk about it afterwards," the teacher said. The teacher walked away and returned to teaching the class. Icama leaned forward.

"What was that about, Minna?! I thought that the plan was to lay low for at least three days!"

Minna took a deep breath before responding. "I'll explain later…but we can't come here after school, got it? Especially not with her."

"What are you talking about?!" Icama whispered.

"Later, Icama," Minna said, pretending to take notes. This was not good…
