-Delicate Petals-
-This chapter is bound to be a good one. Sit tight.-
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This last class is a torture pit, I swear. Minako kept glancing at me, I could feel her eyes on me. I took the notes, because I had nothing better to do and because the teacher was walking around the room. She was a witch. I could come up with more creative ones, but I need my sidekick, Hiei.
"Mr. Minamino, go up and answer that question on the board." This is a drag. The question was so simple. I couldn't see how these people didn't understand. I answered it. It was an essay question so I was up there for a little while. She tested us this way, coming up with nice little essays and making us answer them at the board in our own words. When I sat back down, Minako smiled at me.
"I would have to say you passed that one." I nodded and waited for the teacher to get over her babbling. She gave me a 100. I smiled in satisfactory. Now, to doodle through the rest of the essays. Minako got up and did hers. She got a 100.
"Nice job." She smiled.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I heaved a sigh and dropped onto my bed. My brain was fried. I was so bored. There was only one person that could wake me up. 5.. 4.. 3.. 2.. 1..
"Dead yet?" I smiled and shook my head. "Too bad. Y'know, I was just thinking that maybe you should make a will." He sat down in the spinning chair and started spinning.
"Why?"
"I want the guest bed."
"Where would you put it?" He shrugged. "Oh, that's original." I rolled my eyes. He stared at me and didn't blink. How I hated that stare.
"You should shut up now." He picked up his notebook, which was almost half filled. I looked in there before and it had been full of really wonderful and creative things. He had drawn me as I sat in the chair. He had drawn Botan before. Out of sheer memory. He drew all of us. Of course, he excluded Kuwabara. I think that might've been used as paper balls to vent out anger. Not unless that was the one paper in my trash can that had all of those stab holes from the pencil and the burnt corner. I nodded. That had to be the one. I heard him rip a piece out and start stabbing it.
"Kuwabara?"
"Who else? That damn idiot gets on my nerves all the time. He's nothing but a big moronic jackass."
"Now, now, now, Hiei. Play nice with the paper." I ducked out of the way of the flying wad of hole-y paper. "Didn't you hear me? I said play-" I got hit in the face with another paper. He glared at me.
"If I can't vent on paper, then the next option is you." I smirked.
"I could use a little training."
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Plopping down on my bed, I stared at the ceiling. I had not seen my mother in some time. She must be out spending her time with her friends. I don't blame her. I would rather be anywhere than here by myself.
"You are not by yourself."
"Get out of my head." I closed my eyes. Sleep came up and soon took me away.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Go away and leave me alone.." I yawned. Cold. Stinging cold water. Damn you Hiei! I looked up and sure enough, there he was.
"Your exhaustion must run really deep, kitsune." I blinked away the fogginess and stared up at him. "You slept through brain-fry academy and it is now officially eight." I looked at the clock. "Congratulations, you have slept about a whole entire day."
"Why did you wake me up?" I questioned. I felt a little hungry. He shrugged and considered on telling me or not.
"I was bored." I stared at him. Expecting a better answer would've been stupid of me. I knew he would say something like that anyway. "My guess is that you're getting sick again." I groaned. I didn't want that.
"When you're sick, you tend to sleep." Botan walked into the room and smiled at seeing me awake. Then she blinked. "Hiei! I told you no cold water!"
"Oh yes, I forgot to tell you that your nurse is here." She slapped Hiei's arm and put her hand on my forehead. She frowned.
"Yes, you are sick, Kurama. I called the school. You will be staying home." I groaned again. Even if I was bored in school, I didn't want to lie in a bed all day. "Now, I want you to sleep some more. This medicine will do the trick."
"I don't want any. I want to go to school."
"At eight at night? You're staying home tomorrow too, kitsune. I'm on watch duty while Botan goes to another meeting with the toddler." Hiei sat down in the chair next to my bed. Botan soothed back my hair and smiled.
"We don't want another one of those demon sicknesses, so you're getting attention earlier." This was really not my night. Not my night at all. She poured me a spoonfull of the purple liquid. I took it and she gave me a glass of water to wash it down. I felt like a little kid again. It wasn't that bad to be taken care of, but if this gets frequent..
"I doubt he's got anything serious. Probably a human sickness." I felt a wave of drowsiness. This was going to have to stop. I don't want to be sick. At all. I was just training.. two days ago.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I felt someone's hand on my head and opened my eyes. I started to cough. It almost made me throw up. I stumbled out of bed. We're going to spare what happened. I suppose I have the flu. My head is killing me. I can't breathe. I have this really nasty taste in my mouth. Not to mention that I think I need to wash my hair. I flushed the toilet and coughed some more. My coughs sounded hoarse and I didn't even want to know what my voice sounded like.
"Kurama?" Botan rushed in and wet a washcloth at the sink. She dabbed at my face and gently ran it down my face. I coughed again. Nothing. That was a good sign. How badly I wanted to go to sleep.
"Kitsune? What the hell!?" Hiei's voice made me jump. I felt a little delirious. I panted and heaved again.
"Are you okay?" I nodded and flushed the toilet again. My stomach was upset, I felt lightheaded, and my head was killing me.
"I'm.. fine.." Hiei came back in with the medication that Botan had told him to get. I took it and they helped me stand. I was a little woozy. I didn't fall but I felt as though I was going to. We got to my bed and I plopped down.
"You seem to have a new fascination with medication, don't you?" Hiei asked. Botan had left the room to get me some more water.
"And are you just unlucky or do you like to have a new past-time of getting bitten by rapid squirrles?" I narrowed my eyes at him. He rolled his eyes.
"I like getting rabies, you nitwit." He said, his voice dripping with sarcasm. He never got rabies, it was just something to pick on him about since he always snaps at people and bites their heads off. Somewhat like a rapid dog. A big rapid dog.
"Did you take that medicine?" Botan came back in with a disapproving look at Hiei.
"He refuses."
"I do not." I crossed my arms as Botan gave me the nasty-tasting stuff. I made a face and Hiei chuckled. I threw my pillow at him.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I peeked out the door. No one. I stiffened when I heard a noise. It was only Botan moving around downstairs, I convinced myself. Quietly working my way to the window, I looked at it. Not locked. It was never locked because Hiei liked coming this way more than the front door. I opened it, sucking in my breath when it rattled.
"Going somewhere?"
"N-no.." I turned around to see a smirking Hiei.
"I see.. and those are new pajamas that look like your school uniform?" He raised an eyebrow. I sighed in defeat.
"You caught me.. I wanted to sneak out before the embarrassment of my new nightclothes got around.." He stared at me. "Got around the group.. I mean."
"Sure." He crossed his arms. "You best think that over. Next time Botan sees you, you'd be dead."
"Didn't even cross my mind.." I gave a nervous laugh.
"Get back in bed. And don't forget to change. You know that if she catches you, you're meat on a stick." He left me in the room all alone. I knew he was right. I knew that if I snuck out, it was the end of my life as we know it. I didn't even write my will yet. Sighing, I got changed and shoved my shoes under the bed.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(A few days later..)
I was up and feeling better. School had been wonderous after my little.. vacation. Not. Even if I was bored enough to try and sneak out to go to school, I never imagined the boredom ensued when I was to go back. I now sat on the couch with Botan. Hiei was out somewhere.. playing with fire or defacing public property. Not that I care. He could have his fun and take care of himself.
"You are way too tense. Relax." I kissed Botan's neck. She shivered and giggled when I blew in her ear. "Don't make me give you a Wet Willy."
"Please.. no!" I stuck my finger in my mouth then stuck it in her ear. She screamed and slapped my hand away, laughing. "Kurama!" She rubbed her ear. I smirked.
"Aww, poor Botan." I laughed.
"Shut up." She slapped my arm. We were sitting in what would be a funny position. She was against the back of the couch and her legs went over my lap. I was leaning against the back of the couch. She leaned up, gently pressing her lips against mine.
"Oh dear!" I froze. Botan stiffened. We turned our heads to see my mother. She stared at us, her mouth slightly open. "I didn't mean.." I sighed.
"Its fine mother.." I stood up and Botan followed my lead. "Anything you want us to help you with?" She shook her head.
"No, not really." She smiled at us. It made me feel sort of embarrassed. "Just how long has this been going on?"
"For.." I paused. "Over a week.." Botan looked at me worriedly. Did she think that my okaasan would not accept us?
