Chapter 13

A/N: I got this idea from my World History class, we discussed the advantages and disadvantages of staying neutral in a fight and the advantages and disadvantages of getting involved in a fight. The fight being betweentwo good friends of yours, what do you do? Ugh, trust me when I say that this got very ugly, ENJOY! Oh, I'm gonna use my teacher's name since I don't feel creative today.


"Okay class, today I'm going to put a question on the overhead and I want you to write down your own opinion."

Columbia looked around at the others who just shrugged. She turned her attention back to Mr. Y who was smiling like a mad man.

"The question is, say if two of your friends get in a fight, what are the advantages and disadvantages of staying neutral, what are the advantages and disadvantages of getting involved and taking one side over the other? I'll give you all ten minutes to answer these questions."

Ten minutes past and Mr. Y was still smiling with that sinister smile.

"Okay, so here's how it goes down. Remember I'm just making this up. Hiei and Kazuma are walking down the hallway after third period, as they're walking, Hiei slams his elbow into Kazuma who does the same."

The class bursts into laughter.

"Kazuma runs up to Yukina and goes, 'Did you see that beep' hmm, lets see, Columbia meets up with Hiei, who tells her, 'I'm gonna get that weakling Kazuma.'"

The class laughs harder as Kazuma sinks lower into his seat, which only makes the others laugh twice as harder, but the next part made the laughter stop.

"During, lets say, fourth hour, Columbia starts chewing out Yukina, you know how the cat fights go. Then we skip ahead to sixth hour, Yusuke goes up to Kurama and tells him how gutsy it is to take on Hiei and after the conflict occurs between the two of them. At the end of the day, Hiei and Kazuma see each other again and they both start blabbing on about how they can beat each other down.

So the conflict ends up being taken to the flag pole, (A/N: That's where all the fights happen, it's so gay, just beat them up in school and take the damn suspension, i would, geez.) Hiei starts beating Kazuma in the face a couple of times and Kazuma falls to the ground."

The laughter starts back up again and Kuwabara looks like he's ready to crawl somewhere and die. Mr. Y continues.

"Yukina runs into the fight and starts to tend to Kazuma's wounds, but Columbia comes in and starts beating on Yukina not cat fight style 'cause Columbia doesn't look like someone who would cat fight."

Columbia then stands up and yells, "Damn straight!"

Mr. Y gives give Columbia a dirty look and she sits back down.

"With the two girls fighting, Kurama runs in and plows into Columbia knocking her off of Yukina, but Yusuke runs in and starts beating on Kurama. By the way, Kazuma's still on the ground twitching in pain, he's not going anywhere."

The bell rings, cutting the whole disscussion short.

While everyone walks out Mr. Y notices that Hiei, Columbia, Yukina, Kuwabara, Yusuke, and Kurama are still sitting in their desks, apparently in shock.

"You six are gonna be late to your next class if you don't get going."

Like zombies, they all nodded and walked out the door in a single file line.

During the last period of the day, the shock had gone and things were back to normal. Patsy on the other hand was looking a bit worryed and anxious and the other had noticed.

"Pats, what's wrong," Yukina asked with concern.

Patsy never answered, but when the door opened Pasty gasped, as she did they turned their attention to the door. In walked a woman with mid-jaw length purple-black hair with pale purple highlights, she must have like the colour purple 'cause that's what colour her clothes were too.

A little wimper brought the group's attention to Patsy and Columbia, who were looked like they were on the verge of tears.

No one said a word, they just sat and watched as the girls fought for words.

Columbia finally got them out and between sobs said, "Trudy?"

The substitute turned around and looked in the direction of which Patsy and Columbia were sitting. Her eyes were soon the same as the other two.

"Patsy? Angel?"

The girls didn't move or speak, they just sat there.

"Anyway, I'm your substitute for the day, you can call me Trudy, nothing more, nothing less."

Trudy taught the whole class period, but Patsy and Columbia never took their eyes off of Trudy and she never truely took her eyes off of them.

Columbia did flinch though when Hiei put his hand on his shoulder.

"What's wrong?"

"Nothing."

"Trudy, wasn't she one of the Mallrats too."

Columbia nodded.

"Brady's mom. Yeah, I can see it."

"See what?"

"That will of survival in her eyes, that spark, like you."

Columbia turned around to face and asked, "Spark?"

"Yeah, but your spark is special."

"Whoop-dee-do!"

Hiei just laughed and kissed Columbia on the forehead.

"Jerk."

"Yeah."

Hiei leaned back in his chair and Columbia turned back to the front.

At the end of class all Columbia did was hug Trudy and tell her, "Missed you," and walked out the door with Hiei in tow. Patsy and the others stayed behind with Trudy.

"Why didn't you stay Red?"

Columbia turned around to face Hiei.

"I couldn't face Trudy, not now of all times."

With that, Columbia re-gripped her hold on Hiei and continued to pulle him along.

'Why does she do this to me?'

"Shut up."

"Hn."

"Shut up!"

After being drug around by Red for a while, they stopped in front of the hospital. Hiei gave Columbia an odd look, but she brought him inside and up to the roof.

Once at the edge of the roof, Columbia took her hand from Hiei's arm and brought it down to his hand and laced her fingers through his, confused Hiei looked up at Columbia.

"Look out there Sparks, look out there. This is how we saw the city, I used to stand up on the roof of the highest building and watch the city below, whether it was chaos or not, I still watched. Now you can see through my eyes as I did back at my old home."

"What's with you lately, all deep and stuff."

"Is that a problem."

Hiei didn't get the chance to answer 'cause Columbia tightened her grip on Hiei's hand, making him wince, yes wince in a bit of pain. Quickly, she let go and bolted down the stairs with Hiei chasing after her, she was smiling as she ran down the stairs, actually smiling for someone she loved and loved her back in return.


Wow, what a cheesy way to end a cheesy chapter. Truth be told, I had no idea what I was gonna write about, so when Mr. Yaklich, that's what the Y stands for, started talking about the friends fighting and her put himself, Mitch, Abby, Sam, Pez, and Alex into a fight, I got the most briliant idea and thus Chapter 13. Isn't that special.

Oh, and this might be the last time I bring anyone else from the Tribe into this 'cause I think I need to go back to Yu Yu 'cause I was drifting off topic for a while.

I'm up to 22 or so reviews for this story, which happens to be the best one I've written so far, which makes me happy. Plus I actually got a couple of my friends to read this today, another reason for me to be happy.

On Friday, geez, Abby, Mandi, Amal, and I found out that these two girls had started a slam book, like if you've ever seen Mean Girls the book that they have where they diss people, well they started one of those and today, we found out that Amal and Mandi are for sure in it and we are so PISSED. Abby and I are still trying to figure out if we're in it. Either way, those two are screwed 'cause we think that the assistant principal's daughter is in it, so if we get the book, we're gonna read it, then give it to her to show to her dad. That just may save them from me kicking both their asses.

Oh, I have to kick my friend, Kim's, boyfriend's ass 'cause he causing problems for her, so to make her happy I'm gonna write a different version of the song Jesse's Girl, 'cause Jesse is her EX's name, so I get to have fun with that later on tonight and that's about all that happened today, ugh, drama.

I'm out.
