Okay since I updated the A/N before I will cut to the chase and get on with this chapter!
Chapter 2: Troubled times
Kurama walked out of his house one clear morning ready for school. He walked over to a tall tree that stood near his bedroom window. "Hiei." He called up.
"What?" Came an emotionless voice from somewhere in the branch's. "What are you doing your ki has been going up and down all morning?" He asked.
"I'm locating things." Kurama's looks changed to confusion, "locating?" In a second his small friend was beside him tying the bandana over his Jagan eye.
"Yes locating like your 'mother' is at the store Kuwabara is asleep at his desk and Yusuke just got slapped by Kayko."
"Why are you locating them I thought you didn't care about any of them?" He asked as they started down the sidewalk towards Kurama's school.
"I don't." Kurama listened intently, "but for the last few days my Jagan has been acting up."
"Acting up as in forcing you to use it?"
"No." He looked up at his friend. "Like it knows something serious is going to happen." The fox stayed quiet for a moment thinking of options to give Hiei. "Have you talked to Koenma?" Hiei glared at him.
"Do you honestly think I would go to the toddler on my own and alone at that?" Kurama had to admit he had a point. Hiei had always held a grudge against their boss ever since he told Hiei he wasn't allowed to kill humans.
"True so what are you going to do then?"
"I don't know."
"Maybe I can make you some sort of medicine to make it stop." Hiei thought about the offer a moment before finally letting out a sigh, "normally I would say no but seeing as I don't think I'm in my right mind, I'll take your stupid plant concoction."
"At least you're being reasonable maybe you should stay this way." That earned the fox a death glare from the little fire demon before he disappeared.
'Hm now what plants would work for this situation? The Jagan is a very difficult thing to understand.' Kurama thought to himself as he sat in his homeroom class.
"Class I would like you to meet our new student." The teacher said drawing Kurama's attention back up to the class, a girl stepped into the classroom.
She was short almost if not as tall as Hiei with long deep black hair that had highlights of dark blue threw out it with light gray eyes. She wore the mandatory school uniform of coarse but a red bandana was tied on her head that both held her hair back and covered part of her forehead.
"Her name is Akari Himakiri and I know everyone will help her out on her first day." Akari moved to an empty desk quietly and with that the class began.

After school Kurama said bye to his friends and started on his way home. He had spent the day mostly lost in thought thinking of a variety of plants he could combine and use for Hiei and also why his eye would be acting up so suddenly like this.
Although during what alone time he could get at lunch he was able to actually make a small portion of medicine that he held in a small container but it was only a test for now.
"Hello mother." He called to his mother as he walked threw the front door. "Hello Suichi how was school? (Spelling please?) " She asked from the kitchen. "Fine." He said simply going to the refrigerator and taking out a bottle of water.
"Dinner will be ready in about an hour." She called as he went down the hall. "Okay." He opened the door to his room and was met with a cool breeze.
"You could at least close the window Hiei." He said going and closing the window himself. "Hiei?" He asked when no response came.
It didn't take the fox but a moment to spot his friend sitting in the corner. A look of confusion spread across his face when he saw Hiei almost gripping onto his forehead for dear life.
"Are you okay?" He asked going over and sitting in front of the little fire demon. He sighed knowing it wouldn't be easy getting this needed information out of him, but of coarse he had to try.
"Let me see Hiei." He instructed taking out the bottle and trying to move one of Hiei's hands. Not surprisingly he didn't want to give up easily, Kurama lifted his head in attempts to meet his eyes.
He then noticed that for the first time in all the years he had known the fire demon this was the first time he had shown a lot of one emotion.
His eyes were squeezed shut signaling that he was in immense pain if he had to show it and couldn't bring himself to speak. "You need to swallow this, it will help." Kurama instructed
Hiei fully opened his eyes and took the offered bottle instantly attempting to swallow all it's contents, Kurama offered him water which he also took finally sighing after it was gone.
"What happened now?" Kurama asked. "I don't know." He explained, "pain just started shooting threw me."
"Why didn't you contact me, or somebody else?"
"I couldn't." Kurama let out a defeated sigh as his communicator started to ring in his pocket. "Hello Koenma." He greeted as the toddler's face appeared on the screen.
"Kurama find Hiei and get here quick I have a mission for all of you it's important!" He shouted over the screen. Kurama hesitated wondering for a moment about whether Hiei should go into this or not.
(Reminder: this is NOT Yaoi he's just a concerned friend of coarse.)
"I'm sorry Koenma we're having-."
"I don't care what's going on there this is more important Yusuke and Kuwabara are already here now hurry up!" He instructed the screen going black.
When he closed the screen he found a empty corner and Hiei tightening his katana to him when he turned. "It's fine." The little fire demon reassured as Kurama stood up and waited for the normal portal to appear.
"The medicine will numb the pain," Kurama started to explain and was surprised to see that Hiei was paying close attention. "But will were off after a few hours." He finished as the black vortex appeared.
"Hn." Was all he got before Hiei went into the portal Kurama following suit.
A/N: So how did I do on my first chapter? NO FLAMES! Sorry had to say that anyway here is the PREVIEW for everyone who is continuing to read this:
They get there mission to find and capture the second Jagan wielder (The summary gave it away.) And it seems VERY impossible but even so Hiei decides to search for the second eye but what does he find for it?
