Genkai's First Student by Toxic Tears

Chapter 2: The First Student

"Whoa, hold up," Yusuke said. "Second Student? No, I am the First and only Student of Genkai."

Nikai rolled her eyes. "Baka, you are the Second and last." She was getting annoyed with him disagreeing with her.

"Look Shorty, if I'm the Second, who's the First?" he asked with a raised eyebrow.

"Me." She said simply. He stared at her.

"You? Yeah right!" he laughed. "Why would Genkai train- "

"Yusuke!!" a bubbly voice yelled. They all turned and saw Botan flying towards them on her oar "Yusuke, I have a message from Lord Koenma." She landed and her oar vanished. "He want me to tell you that there's a fire demon named Nikai and-" Just then she noticed Nikai. "Oh, hello. Who are you?"

She was silent, so Kurama answered, "Botan, this is Nikai."

Botan gasped and bowed respectfully. "Miss Nikai, I'm sorry, I didn't realize it was you." She turned back to Yusuke and the others. "I'm glad you all have met her, because she is the new member of the team."

"WHAT?!!?" they yelled. Minus Kurama, who never yells, and Nikai, who already new about it.

Botan nodded. "Yes Nikai is the fifth member because she is Genkai's First Student." She looked at Yusuke, not sure how he would react.

"She was telling the truth?" Kuwabara asked incredulously.

Nikai turned and looked at Botan. "Are they always this dense?"

Botan nodded. "Except for Kurama." Hiei glared dangerously at her and she gulped. "And Hiei! Um, how about we go inside?" The rest of them nodded as they noticed several people staring at them and walked the few blocks to Kurama's house. His mother wasn't home, so they could sit in the living room and talk freely.

"So what you're saying is, I'm really the Second Student?" Yusuke asked.

"Yes Yusuke, has that fact penetrated your thick head yet?" Nikai sneered. As far as she could tell they were all incompetent idiots. Especially Hiei. He had yet to say another word and frankly, it was starting to annoy her. She glanced at him and found him looking at her. As soon as she looked up, he turned his head back towards the window. 'Why was he looking at me?' she wondered.

Hiei wasn't sure why, but he found Nikai intriguing. He was confused when he found himself looking at her. He shook his head as she looked up and thought to himself, 'I have to admit, she is attractive' His eyes widened at the thought. 'What the hell am I thinking!?! I can't go soft with thoughts like that!"

Botan was talking again. "The first case you five will have together will start in a week. There's a demon stealing human souls that you have to go and stop. Here's a file folder for each of you." She threw five manila folders onto the floor. Yusuke picked one up and flipped it open. The first paper was a picture of a young girl with silver hair and deep blue eyes. Her eyes were hollow. She was wearing a tight blue body suit. The next paper was an information sheet. This is what it said:

Name: Sukara (last name N/A)

Age: Nineteen

Family: N/A

Previous Convictions: None

Crime Charged For: Stealing human souls

Threat Rate (1-10 scale, 1 being the lowest, 10 the highest): 6

"This is the girl we have go get?" Yusuke asked scornfully.

"Don't underestimate her Yusuke we're not sure if she's being controlled by someone or not. If she is, then you have to be especially careful." Botan scolded. She noticed Kuwabara was starting to open his mouth. "Don't say anything about her being a girl, you are required to go too." He shut his mouth and they all smirked at him slightly, except for of course Kurama. "I'll come ad find you all when it's time to leave." With that Botan walked out the door and disappeared.

"Well, see ya Kurama." Yusuke said as he followed suit.

"Yeah, I better go too, Shizuru's gonna kill me for being gone so long." Kuwabara said as he walked out and closed the door.

"Hn." Hiei and Nikai said at the same time. They both looked at each other for a second before turning away. Kurama, being the overly observant person he is, had seen them looking at each other before and smiled.

"What's so funny kitsune?" Hiei spat.

Kurama kept smiling. "You'll both figure it out eventually." He walked into the kitchen. Nikai glanced at Hiei and saw that he looked quite confused. She snorted and walked out the door.

Hiei had no idea what the hell Kurama was talking about. He also hadn't meant to reveal that on his face. When Nikai left, he realized that he should probably do the same thing. He walked outside and jumped lightly onto the roof. There was a roll of thunder and he looked up. The sky was almost black and the drops were starting to fall. He scowled as he ran across the rooftops. 'Rain, God I hate the rain.' He jumped down into the forest and tried to find the most sheltered place. It was dark and he wasn't paying attention to where he was going. Suddenly he felt himself bump into something warm.

"Watch it!" It was Nikai.

"Hn."

"Oh that's so charming." He was silent. "So what are you doing here?"

"If you hadn't noticed, it's raining." Hiei didn't know why, but just looking at Nikai made him feel strange. It wasn't a feeling he was familiar with and he didn't like it. He walked over to a tree and sat down, yawning slightly.

'He looks just like a little cat when he yawns.' Nikai mentally slapped herself. 'What the hell am I thinking? Even though he is so cute.' She blinked. 'Gotta stop thinking this crap! It'll end up just like last time!' She curled up against another tree. Neither of them had any idea what time it was, but they were getting soaked. Nikai pulled off her cloak and wrung it out. Hiei stared at her. Her clothes were clinging to her like a second skin and showed off all her curves. With difficulty, he pulled his eyes away and stared at the rain off to his side. Nikai put her cloak back on, easing Hiei's discomfort and fell asleep. He watched her for a few minutes before falling asleep as well.
