Chapter Three: Getting to know Kasago, Channel

(Kurama's POV)

We searched all day Saturday for that demon and no luck. Well, we walked around staring at suspicious looking people, which quickly turned into a quiet walk in the park. Soon after that we got some ice cream, much to Hiei's delight, and walked around some more. When Botan came down to see how we were doing, we split up and pretended to be looking so she would give Koenma a good report. This gave Hiei and I a chance to talk a bit since we went opposite of Kuwabara and Yusuke.

We got no where on Sunday either. We had accomplished as much, if not less, than the previous day. I know it's only a matter of time until this demon slips up. Koenma had said he noticed the unusual demonic activity a week ago when the demon opened a portal from its world. We could get lucky if it uses its power again and unshield's it's youkai.

Hiei has been sleeping in my bed with me lately. He still leaves early in the morning but he hasn't woken me up once… so far. It's only been two days.

"More bacon?"

"Huh? Oh, yes please."

Shiori put more bacon on my plate and I thanked her and ate it. After I was done I started to walk to school.

VVVVVVVVVV

Youko, they're following you again.

I know Hiei. What are you doing here? Does Koenma want something again?

No, I was just coming to see you before you headed off to that Ningen School.

Oh… why?

Just felt like it.

So, there is no purpose in you being here?

No, I just came to…

To what?

Never mind, have fun pretending to be something your not.

VVVVVVVVVV

I wanted to tell him to wait but he was already gone.

Sigh Well that was sweet of him, nice to know what he really thinks of me.

As I walked up to the school I saw Channel walk to the school's doors. I must admit I was interested in her and not because of her looks. I turned my head when I noticed I was staring, she noticed I was staring, too. I quickly went to my locker, then class.

When I got to class I sat down and pulled out a novel I had been reading.

"Shuichi right?"

"Hmm? Oh, yes kon'nichi wa."

"Kon'nichi wa, I don't think we've been properly introduced," she held out her hand, "I am Kasago, Channel."

"Ah, yes I am Minamino, Shuichi. It's nice to meet you; don't we have a few classes together."

"Yes, we do I just thought I should introduce myself since you're the only person that didn't give me a pop quiz about my life."

Smiles "I try to make a point not to intrude in other people's lives."

"Well, aren't you sweet."

"Hey Channel!"

A girl in school was waving and walked over to Channel and me.

"Hey Hanna."

When she walked up to the two of us she laughed and grabbed Channel's hand.

"Come here real quick."

I noticed that Hanna was one of the girls that followed me after school.

"Excuse me a minute, Shuichi." I just nodded.

I could still hear them, though they were on the other side of the room.

"Channel, you do know who that is right?"

"Of course, why?"

"Isn't he so cute! He's the smartest, hottest guy in school!" She squealed and giggled. Channel gave her a weird look.

"You okay?" She started feeling Hanna's head. "No, you don't seem sick. What grade are you in again?"

"12th?"

"12th, eh? I think I know what's wrong, your brain never fully matured." She was pointing to her own head. "Ever ask him out?"

"Um, no."

Please don't give her any ideas.

"Well, I wouldn't think about it if that's how you're going to act."

"RING! RING! RING!"

Every one was coming in class; Hanna sat down a little red faced and Channel came over and sat in her desk next to me.

"Gomen 'bout that, we'll talk more at lunch, 'k?"

"Sure."

Later that day I met her at lunch. Every time I got around her… there was just something about her, but I couldn't quite put my finger on it.

"Poor Shuichi, constantly being followed by those girls."

Laughing "Yes, I don't mind as long as they don't bother me too much, which they never do."

"Aw, well not many people really know what your like, except that apparently you're really really smart and your cute, so I thought I would as you, straight from the horses mouth, yea know?"

"Oh, well since I don't talk to many people that would make sense. I also don't know much about you."

"All you have to do is ask all the people around you, I don't tell them everything but they know plenty about me."

"Well, how about we alternate asking questions to one another."

"Oh, so we're making a game out of this."

"If you don't mind."

"Alright, you can ask me a question first."

"Why are you in Japan?"

"Because I've always wanted to come to Japan and when I decided it was time for a new life I came here. So, my turn right?"

"Right."

"Okay, where were you born? Since you already know where I was born."

"Here in Japan."

"Wow, that pretty red hair and all."

"Yes… why do you wear contacts?"

"Huh? Oh, these," she laughed a bit, "well, I don't like the color of my eyes, its not normal."

"What color are they?"

"No, it's my turn." She smiled.

"... Gomen"

"It's okay, what are your parents like?"

"Well, I never met my father, but my mother is wonderful. I almost lost her a few years ago; she became ill but she pulled through it. Her name is Shiori by the way."

"Oh, I'm glad she's okay."

"Yes, me too. So, what color are your eyes?"

"Oh… um… they're red."

"Red?"

"Yes, but don't tell anyone, no one knows."

"I see why you wear contacts. I wouldn't dare tell anyone your personal business."

"RING! RING! RING!"

"Well, that's the bell and if I'm not mistaken we don't have the next two classes together, so I'll see you at the end of the day."

"That's right, well I'll see you in 7th. It was nice getting to know you."

"Right! You, too ja ne Shuichi."

"Ja ne."

Two periods went by and 7th was coming up fast.

Just a few more minutes until the bell rings and I have a test. I only studied for it Friday, which isn't like me but this demon has been a pain to look for and very time cons—

"RING! RING! RING!"

Sigh uming… Finally the last period of the day, then off to see Hiei and find this demon.

I walked into Tagogouwa-sama's room and he was putting papers on our desk face down. Undoubtedly it was the test.

"Please, come in and sit down, don't look at the test and do not talk."

I walked over to my desk and sat down. Channel walked through the door soon after me and Tagogouwa-sama wrote his instructions on the board so he didn't have to repeat himself for those who came in late.

The test was fairly difficult but I knew most of the answers. I finished my test as well as a few other people but some didn't finish at all when the bell rang.

"RING! RING! RING!"

As I walked out of the classroom I dropped one of my books and before I could pick it up Channel was down on the ground picking it up for me.

"Oh, hello Channel and arigato."

"No problem I was just picking up mine, too. What'd you think of the test?"

"It was a bit difficult but I think I did well."

"Yes, it was hard, I hope I did well."

"I'm sure you did. Lucky you we're doing Egypt next week."

"Yea, listen it was cool getting to know you I hope we can do it again some time."

"That would be nice, where do you live? I'll walk you home and we can talk some more." Hiei may not be happy about that but curiosity is sure getting the better of me.

"30th street."

"Alright, I'll drop you off there I live on 32nd so we'll be going the same way any ways."

We walked until we got to the street she turned on. My fan club followed us like they generally did when it was just I but they were a bit more noisy than usual. I learned she, too, never met her dad and her mother was murdered when she was only 10. I remembered when she had told me I was lucky to have my mother and felt sorry for her.

Hiei 'blurred' next to me when she and my fan club had left.

"Who was that?"

"Kon'nichi wa Hiei, its nice to see you too since you left in such a hurry this morning. How long have you been here?"

"Long enough, who was that?"

"A new student in my school."

"Hn. Falling for Ningens now are you?"

"No."

"Hn."

"Any luck with that demon?"

"No, I would have told you."

"Right."

"… Do you like her?"

"Nani? No, Hiei!"

Just then Yusuke walked up.

"Hey you two! What's with the sour expression? … Kurama any ways."

"Nothing."

"Sure… well Koenma needs to speak with up about the… thing."

"Where's the baboon?"

"Some school function crap."

"There is a demon on the loose and that oaf is playing with those other baka Ningens?"

"Stupid cats is more like it. Some 'Help the Homeless Cats' thing."

"At least he's out of our hair. We cant be monkey sitting some stupid Ningen."

"A-hem, what do you think me and Kurama are?"

"I can stand the two of you but that oaf is the stupidest creature alive."

"What ever, come on lets find out what Koenma's got for us."

We headed to the Reikai and saw Koenma pacing his office floor.

"What'd yea have for us Koenma?"

"We have a lot on that Shinpi-teki na… where's Kuwabara?"

"School function."

Sigh "Now?"

"Yup."

"Cats?"

"Uh-huh."

Sigh "Any ways we have a lot on the demon. We didn't know before but we are now certain there is only one. We found out that it is a female. We don't have a name but she will be coming here shortly as soon as Koryu finds her."

"How'd you find this out and who is Koryu?"

"My father contacted Satan about this and he knows Whispers and evidently hates Stops whispering her. But she's his nephew, Koryu's, best friend."

"Is she a good demon or a bad one?"

"Sentenced to Hell but for some good reason, I don't exactly remember the circumstances but she only killed one human and that was 190 years ago."

"That's not very long ago considering she's a demon."

"Yes, well, she's only 215 so not such a short time to her."

"So, this chick demon-devil thing… got a color?"

"She's blue."

"Then this could be bad. Do you really want this demon in the Reikai?"

"We have a good word on her and Koryu will be with her. The two of them have been best friends since they were both 15. Koryu said that he knew it had to be her who was here because she just recently left her world; he said he would bring her here so that we could make sure the she was no threat."

"So, when's she gonna get here?"

"I don't know when exactly."

"If it's the powerful Youkai headed here, I'd say right now."

I saw Hiei tense up at his words and I knew it had to be the demon."

"Ah, that's Koryu not the demon."

No…there are two I can feel them both.

"There are two demons. One is not strong, but that's the Shinpi-teki na Oni. They don't like showing their true strength, I'm sure it's her."

Botan opened the doors.

"Um… Koenma… sir… there's a devil and… something else here to see… you."

She was scared out of her wits.

"Let them in, Botan."

"Ye… yes sir."

As Botan moved I could see and outline of the two Youkai, one as tall as Yusuke and the other as tall as Hiei. The smaller one was obviously our demon. When they came in I saw—
