Wow lots of reviews this time! Sorry for the two week wait, but I wanted this chapter to be really good. It's near 3500 words if it helps. In other words really long.

Black Wolf Jaganshi Lover: I was thinking along the same lines, but if I do pairing it'll be a little while.

slancaster113: Well, she's not the nicest person in the world, but I need someone mean to help with the humor. Especially in this chapter. .

HieiFan666: Sorry for the wait, I had no idea it was that much of a cliffhanger.

kristanite: half monkey half rat? Interesting...

Gokusgirl-Saiyuki: Hiei as a human is sort of a twist I suppose. Thank you for reviewing.

Sakura Minamino: Ermm...thanks I think. I converted someone! YAY!

Ok now for some very important stuff.

Who is Keiji?

Well, originally I wasn't going to tell you anything about him for a few more chapters, but I suppose I can give you a little more about him in this chappie.

Second, I'm going to say that since Kurama is now in high school, they don't have uniforms. I'm sorry but I just couldn't picture Hiei in a pink uniform. Actually, I can picture it, and it just seems so ridiculous that I don't think I could write it well enough. It's too funny just thinking about it. I also don't know how I could get him in one. SO, for the sake of the story, no uniforms.

Now that I have all the boring stuff done, on with the story!

A knock sounded on Hiei's door, loud yet polite.

"Hiei, breakfast's ready!" Katina said, before leaving. By now she had discovered that Hiei did not answer back, he either came or didn't. She walked down the stairs and smiled slightly when a few minutes later she heard Hiei's door creak open. What is it with boys and food?

Hiei scowled at the door for a second after she knocked. Eating breakfast would mean starting the day which would eventually mean being dragged to school. But...his stomach rumbled. He couldn't go days without food like he was when he was a demon. It made it so much harder to ignore Angel when he had to see her to eat. She hadn't confronted him since she said he was going to school, but next time he wanted to be prepared. This time she wouldn't overpower him so easily. He wasn't going to go to school today. He knew that for sure. Hiei glanced over at the window. Maybe he could jump out. He opened it and looked down. About to jump, he remembered something important. He was human. Slamming the window shut loudly, then cursing under his breath, he walked over to the door. He opened it and went downstairs. There has to be another way out.

The kitchen table had three plates of food set on it. Angel had hers on the couch. The tv was on, but she wasn't watching it. Amaya and Katina were sitting at the table. Amaya was relating her "first day" fears to Katina, but stopped when she saw Hiei. She ran over to him as he made his way across the room from the stairs.

"Hiei, we get to go to school today! Isn't it great!" "Hn," Hiei said, a little ticked. Amaya didn't notice, but took his hand and led him to the table. He sat down, but only looked at the food. After poking it for a minute Katina looked at him annoyed. "It isn't poisoned. If we were going to kill you I'm sure Angel would find a more violent way." Hiei could sense Angel smirking slightly from the couch. It was barely noticeable, but there. He glared at all of them, then proceeded to eat his food.

Amaya had finished her food and was now fiddling with her skirt. It was the uniform for the primary school, a pink jacket and skirt. Amaya was a little thrown off by the skirt. She never saw Katina or Angel wearing a skirt. Why did she have to?

Katina was dressed in a simple pair of blue jeans and a light yellow t-shirt. Her hair was down, and she carried an overall casual appearance. Angel was dressed in dark blue jeans and a black t-shirt. Her hair was in the braid it normally was in, and her green eyes sparkled dangerously from across the room. She was looking at Hiei.

Hiei muttered slightly. There was no way he was going to be able to ditch her. He'd just have to do it once they got to school, so he could skip class. His sudden schemes and plans came quickly to an end once Katina started speaking.

"Okay, we'll drop Amaya off at school first. Hiei you have Algebra 1 with me and all your other classes with Angel. Kurama is in most of your classes as well."

Hiei cursed lightly, but Angel and Katina still heard him. But then he stopped. Maybe he could get away from Katina. It should be easy enough, considering how much she talked.

"Well, let's go, the bus stop will take a few minutes to get to, and the bus ought to be coming soon," Katina said. She tossed a bag to Hiei, who caught it. "There's everything you need."

"Hn," Hiei slung it over his shoulder and opened the front door. Sometime between breakfast, it had started raining. Great, just great. Katina smiled and looked at Amaya. "Remember what we've been practicing?" she asked. Amaya smiled suddenly and raised her hands for a moment. The rain around them went sideways, almost as if a shield was over them. Hiei looked befuddled for a second. (A/N: I like that word...befuddled .)

"Water demon, remember?" Angel said. It was the first thing Hiei had heard her say today. He scowled. "Yes, I remember," he snapped. Angel didn't say anything, just started walking. They reached the stop within a couple of minutes. They sat in silence until the bus finally pulled up. They all walked on. Seeing Kurama, Hiei sat with him. Kurama got up to let him have the window seat. Katina and Amaya sat across from them, since the seats in front and behind were occupied by girls who spent the rest of the ride staring at Kurama. Angel took the seat alone behind Amaya and Katina.

After a few stops, the bus was full. Every seat contained two people except for Angel's and the one in the very back next to the guy who, from what Hiei had heard sitting in his seat, got bussick a lot.

The bus pulled up to the last stop, one containing another popular boy similar to Kurama. He had black hair that was soaked but still looked good. He had brown laughing eyes that made any girl melt. He walked onto the bus and took the one seat everyone else had been afraid to take. He sat next to Angel. She didn't say anything. He smiled at her. She continued staring out the window. Hiei watched with interest. This ought to be good.

"So, you must be new around here, I'm sure I would have remembered your face," the boy said, running his hand through his hair to draw more attention. Once again, Angel showed no sign of hearing him. Katina turned around. She opened her mouth, then hesitated for a second before saying, "She's not real fond of people. She won't talk to you." The boy merely smiled at her as if she were two and didn't understand anything. "I'm sure that won't be the case." Katina, so rarely mad, turned around and fumed silently, before smiling once more. If he wanted to deal with Angel, that was his problem.

"So where was I? You know you'd probably look prettier with your hair down. It would enhance your face," the boy said smoothly, bringing his arm around to the top of the seat, behind Angel's head. She still didn't say anything. They boy got frustrated. "What the hell is your problem? Are you deaf or something?" At this Angel did turn her head toward him. "I am not deaf, I'm ignoring you. I'm sorry, I guess that was just a little above your intelligence level." The boy shook. "You had a chance at this school, new girl, but now I'll make sure no one talks to you."

Angel's eyes flashed gold. "Good, then you'll be helping me. Especially if I don't have to hear a lost little boy like you talking to me. You've never even been on a date have you?"

The boy's mouth dropped open. He too had noticed Angel's now gold eyes, just as Hiei had. He quivered, before bolting back to the only other seat on the bus. Katina turned around and looked at Angel. "Did you really have to do the last part?" "Hn," Angel said. Then she looked at Hiei. He was turned toward her also. Her eyes were green once more. She looked at him as if daring him to say something. He sneered and then turned around. Kurama looked back and forth at the exchange, then to Katina. She shrugged, then rolled her eyes. "Crazy people," she said softly. Kurama laughed.

Soon the school came into view. Amaya had been dropped off a few minutes before and now Angel was sitting on the window side of Katina's seat. Hiei supposed it was to make Angel behave. They boarded off the bus. Kurama, having gotten all their information earlier, led showed them their lockers and gave each of them a map of the school. He then headed off with Katina to their first class, World History. Angel grabbed the schedule from Hiei, who growled and looked at it, then the map.

"Speech is this way." She walked off in the direction she had nodded towards, and a reluctant Hiei followed. They came to the room and walked in. The teacher looked at them and then at the class that was currently going wild. She ushered them to her desk. Then the bell rang, and in a flash, every kid was in his or her seat.

"Well, class, these are our two new students, Angel Black and Hiei Ja- Ja- erm..." the teacher looked at Hiei. "Jaganashi." As a result Angel glanced over at Hiei. She knew what the name meant. "Very well, you two may sit in the back. Today we are reading from our Literature books. I trust you have them." Neither Angel nor Hiei answered her. They were headed to the back. Both seats were by the window, but one was behind the other. Angel got their first. Hiei growled, but sat down in front of her.

The class continued by the teacher going up and down the rows, making each person read. Now it was Hiei's turn. "Hiei," the teacher called. "Hn," Hiei said. "Hiei this is Speech class it requires some talking." Hiei simply glared at her. The whole class was quiet, looking to see what he would do.

Hiei stood up and began walking towards the door. The teacher shrieked. "Where do you think you're going?" Hiei glanced at her. "Away from this hell hole." The teacher pointed in rage to the door, and it was a second before she stopped shaking. "The principal's office now!" "Hn," Hiei said before walking out the door. Angel stood up. The teacher bore down upon her too. "Do you want to go to the office too young lady!" "Yes, I do," she said, then walked to follow Hiei.

She caught up with him down the hall. "Katina will be pissed," she said quietly. "Hn," Hiei said.

They came to the office soon enough, with the help of the map. The principal called them into the office. "Do you both know why you're here?" Hiei rolled his eyes. Angel simply stared out the window. "Since you're new here I will only let you off with a warning, but next time I will have to suspend you." Then he looked at Angel. "Is there a specific reason why you followed Mr. Jaganashi to the office?" She shrugged. "I'm supposed to watch him." Then there was a knock on the door, before it opened. It was Kurama. "I'm so sorry for whatever they did, I'm sure they didn't really mean to get into trouble on the first day." Hiei opened his mouth to say that he did indeed mean to get into trouble, but a kick from Kurama shut him up.

"Well Mr. Minamono, since they are your friends, I suppose I could make an exception and forego the warning detention." Kurama smiled. "Thank you, sir." The principal merely nodded. "Now get to your next period class." "Of course, sir." Kurama said, steering Angel and Hiei out the door. Once they were in the hallway he started to talk. "What were you guys thinking?" he said, barely keeping his voice a whisper. The bell for passing period wouldn't ring for a minute or two. "I was thinking, fox, that this ningen school is stupid. Not to mention it's covered with the filthy things." Kurama looked at him. "Well, I can keep and eye on you this time. We have Construction together. Katina has Band."

"What is Construction?" Hiei asked. Angel perked up for a moment and actually said something. "Construction is fun," she said her eyes lighting up for a second. Then her face went back to it's normal cold exterior, almost as if she realized she had let some personality escape that shouldn't have.

When they got to Construction, and the bell rang, Hiei could see what she meant. The classroom was full of blades, saws, and other things that could easily be used as weapons. The class itself was interesting. By the end Hiei knew how to make precise cuts in wood, and how to use all of the machines. He also now knew where he was going to take any demon he wanted to torture in the future. Or Kuwabara. Which ever got on his nerves first.

The next class they had was Biology. Katina joined them and was briefed about the earlier incident.

"Angel, you let him do that? You're supposed to be watching him! It's his first day." Angel shrugged and walked into the class. The teacher showed Katina, Hiei and Angel to a lab table where Kurama had automatically sat down. There were two frogs on metal pans also on the table. Katina looked horrified and Angel and Hiei merely looked bored.

"How could they do that to the poor frogs?" Katina whispered to Angel. She didn't say anything, but picked up a pencil and poked one of the frog's legs. The muscle contracted, giving the appearance of it jumping. Katina squealed. Angel looked over at her. "We see demons who look worse living. One's that you help kill, remember?" Katina looked a little ruffled. "Well, most demons aren't innocent animals." Angel rolled her eyes. Hiei was partnered with Kurama. They silently opened the frog, taking turns cutting, with Kurama recording.

Katina refused to touch the frog, so she recorded what Angel cut open. They each turned in the worksheet and metal pan to the teacher, and were dismissed when the bell rang. Everyone grabbed their bags and walked out. Two girls followed their group outside, and stopped in front of them.

One of them was the classic tall blonde. She had one finger wrapped in her hair and the other hand on her hip. The other girl had blonde hair, but brown roots, suggesting that her hair was dyed. She stood slightly behind the other girl. Both were chewing gum openly.

"Hello Janice, Nikki," Kurama said politely looking at the blonde first, then the dye-job. "These are my new friends Hiei, Angel, and Katina." Nikki winked at Hiei, who scowled in response. Angel grabbed his shirt and started to tug him beyond them. Going past, she brushed Janice's

shoulder.

"Hey, watch where you're going! Are you blind?" she said, but Angel kept walking, part of Hiei's shirt still in her hand. She muttered softly, but Hiei managed to catch it. "Am I deaf? Am I blind? By the end of the day I'm gonna be mute too." Hiei smirked. Angel glared at him, then slowed down and let go of him when they came to the door that said World Geography.

They walked in and the teacher was sleeping. The board said to read pages 105-119, so Hiei and Angel silently grabbed two seats in the back and opened the books. A few girls bugged Hiei, but when he didn't answer, everyone left him alone.

After class, they both found themselves outside the door looking at the map. "Look for a lunch room," Hiei suggested. Angel growled. "I already did. I'm not stupid." "Are you sure? Because if you were smart I'm sure we could be eating lunch right now." Angel just glared at him and went back to the map. There was nothing about where to go to lunch. "Why don't you ask someone where we go?" she said. "Why don't you?" "I'm not the one who has to eat remember? I'm not the one who was stupid enough to be turned into a human" Angel cut herself off. The hallway was staring. And had heard. "Err, human garbage disposal," she covered quickly.

"Let us through please!" Kurama's voice came from the crowd. He and Katina came to the front and pulled Angel and Hiei back with them. Then everyone in the hallway started chattering once more and getting to lunch. Kurama sighed when they were free of the crowded hallway. "Everyone eats lunch outside," he said. Hiei scowled. "Why didn't you tell us that before?" Kurama scratched the back of his head nervously. "Erm, I kinda forgot."

"Can we go?" Angel interrupted. "Of course," Kurama said, showing them a door that lead to the outside courtyard. Only about twenty other people were there. "I find this place to be the most quietest, and easy to think in," Kurama said. Angel walked over to the tallest tree and grabbed the first branch. She climbed the tree gracefully to make it look like she was just a strong ningen. Hiei grabbed one of the lunch bags that Katina held out and sat at the bottom of the tree. Katina walked over to the tree too, but only to throw an apple up, that, from what Hiei could see, Angel caught. Then Katina and Kurama sat down next to Hiei.

Lunch went quickly, no one talked to them, although a few boys did come up to Katina. Even from the bottom, Hiei could sense that Angel's eyes never left any of the strangers that came near them. From Kurama's reaction to each of the people, he could tell none were demons. Many girls also came up to Kurama, some to confirm tutoring, others to stumble over their words and end up basically saying nothing. When the next bell rang, Kurama led them to Gym class. They all had it together. The class mainly consisted of running the mile, with warm-ups before.

Hiei was slow. Faster than most of the normal humans, because of the muscle that remained, but still slow by his standards. Kurama ran a little bit behind him with Katina, so that they didn't look suspicious. Angel was at the head of the pack, but only by a little. Unfortunately, as Kurama had informed him, Angel naturally had the body of a runner, so she could run fast and just make it look like she was a fast runner. It still wasn't fair.

Hiei found his escape efforts for sixth period rewardless. Angel and Kurama, although in a separate math class, had their class a door away. Hiei had been put in Algebra with Katina. She kept talking constantly to him, even though he didn't reply. He was more interested in how Angel got into Geometry with Kurama, and if he could do it as well.

As soon as the class ended, he tried to get out the door and away before anyone could get to him, but Angel was outside the door when he opened it. She smirked slightly, he glared a lot. Finally, it came to the last class of the day. Hiei, Angel, and Kurama had Study Hall, while Katina had Child Development. Study Hall Hiei found interesting, or at least more interesting than the other classes. After Kurama helped a few girls with their homework, he and Hiei discussed how to break the spell that had been put upon him. Angel didn't put in any ideas, she just listened quietly.

The end came when the last bell rang. Everyone rushed to their lockers and then to the bus. Hiei looked back at the school as it went by. He'd figure out how to skip tomorrow.

That night Hiei was over run with questions. And he knew only one person could answer him. He went to Katina's room and knocked. She answered the door smiling brightly. "Hiei, do you need to talk? I'm always here if you need someone to listen? Are you having problems? Has Angel been giving you a hard time?" She sounded like a commercial ad.

"Who is Keiji?" Hiei asked. Katina stopped smiling. "Oh, um...come inside." Hiei walked into her room. It was a painted forest with a pond for the walls. The rest of her room was blues and greens. "What type of demon are you?" Hiei said. "Half earth, half water." She motioned for him to sit on her bed and he did.

"Keiji was a good friend of Angel's. He loved her. She was just like she is now, completely against love or feeling in general. So he killed someone very close to her. Ever since then he's been after Angel's powers, obsessed with her other half." Hiei was about to question her other half but Katina caught him first. "He doesn't know what it is either." She didn't say anymore, so Hiei guessed that was all she knew.

"Why do her eyes turn gold?" he asked. Katina smiled once more. "Oh that, she can read auras, tell emotions. It's ironic really. Her eyes turn gold when she's reading another person's aura."

"Hn," Hiei said, before walking out. "If you need to talk some more let me know!" Katina called to him as he walked down the hall. He had a lot to think about.

Well it was very long and tedious to type. Please review!
