AN: Thank you all of you guys who reviewed it's nice to know my story is actually being read. Just like I promised here's Chapter 5. Kurama and Hiei may be a little OOC, but I tried to keep as close as possible to their original characters. I have absolutely no clue what's in store for this chapter I decided just to write what I felt like typing hence how this chapter came to be. Without any further delay here's chapter 5.
Disclaimer: I think this is common sense that I don't own this because if I did I would have put my own ideas out already and would have made a lot of money, but to avoid being sued (by who I don't even know, but whatever) I don't own Yu Yu Hakusho or any of its characters.
Chapter 5: A Change
Kurama's POV:
The next day had arrived and class had begun. The teacher had assigned them time in class to get with their group and decide when and where they would be working. I was not ready to face his nearly impossible mission, convincing both Hiei and Joey to agree to work on the movie. 'Hiei should be easy enough to convince but Joey… this is going to be a long day.
'Might as well try asking nicely first.' "Will you two please cooperate and help work on the movie" I was answered with two death glares, 'it's scary how similar those two can be. Its time to bring in the threats.' Hiei either you agree to work on this and help me to convince Joey or someone might finally find their long lost brother Hiei let out an annoyed growl and increased his death glare by ten. Hn. Baka Kitsune. Fine Whatever 'one down one to go. She's gonna be a lot tougher Hiei I was able to blackmail, but Joey…' "Joey will you please agree to work on the project with us" she didn't even bother looking at me. "Joey this is supposed to be a group effort, isn't Mrs. Mencina already on your case enough, it wouldn't be wise to not do this part of the assignment." She then gave him a look that he had never seen before it wasn't cold, it actually showed genuine fear. 'I think I struck a nerve'
Joey's POV:
'There's no way I can afford another phone call home. I cannot believe I'm gonna have to agree to do this.' "Fine," I said now glaring at him again. "Where and when are we gonna meet to do this project, and is he" I said looking towards Hiei "working with us too." "Hn." "You know that isn't a real response if I have to work with you there's no way you can answer every question I ask with Hn all the time" "and what are you going to do about it onna" "I just did" I said smirking triumphantly 'I cannot be beat' his glare became even more deadly if possible. "Onna do not try my patience" he said gritting his teeth "I would not try calling me onna again" 'who the hell does he think he is… the nerve calling me onna I have a name' Hiei then smirked "what are you gonna do about it onna?" "you don't wanna know…shorty"
Kurama's POV:
'Now she's done it, as amusing as this would be, she could get hurt considering Hiei is a demon after all' "what did you see" growled Hiei "you heard me shorty" she replied laying delicate stress on the word. Before I could even move Hiei had his hand around her throat "Let me go, you have till the count of three" she replied still keeping her cool. 'wow this is a first; she doesn't seem the least bit phased by him. Well anyway time to step in' I grabbed Hiei's arm and pulled it off her throat remember what Koenma told you Hiei then let out an annoyed sigh before sitting down again. "so where are we meeting" she asked. "How about my house Friday right after school." "works for me, anything we should bring" 'odd. She's said more to me in the last ten minutes then she's said since I met her.' "nope we should have everything"
AN: alright I'm fast forwarding it to Friday we were at Wednesday so I'm speaking the rest of the day and Thursday.
Kurama's POV:
'I wonder where she could be, Hiei's already here… but then again he does have demon speed, but she's over and hour late, I wonder if something happened.' Hiei then quickly stood up and let out annoyed growl "I'm tired of waiting, I'm going to get her and bring her here we've given her long enough" "wait up I'll come with you" so we set off down the street heading to the school thinking maybe she got caught up with one of the teachers or something. She gets even more detentions then Yuske. We were about ten blocks away from the school when we heard some fighting and a very familiar voice.
Joey's POV:
'Do these idiots not realize I have better things to do then to fight their sorry hides?' 'Yow! Dammit that was just starting to heal' one of the guys she was facing had just broken her rib again. 'as if I don't have enough bruises.' I froze as the guys all pulled out pocket knives 'wonderful, when I thought my day couldn't get any better. Keep cool a bluff never hurt either.' "I would suggest you step away from me now and put away those little toys. You attempt to use them on me and you will be very sorry." This only gained a laugh out of all the guys 'damn' I backed up and was soon up against a wall 'cornered like a fox. shoot.' The guys all took a step forward when out of no where came Suichhi and Hiei. "I suggest you leave her alone." Suichhi said coldly. The guys made no motion to step back "I will not ask again" the guys all turned towards him "and what are you gonna do about it? Get them" the leader shouted pointing towards Hiei and Suichhi.
In the blink of an eye all of them were laying on the ground out cold "we did warn them" Suichhi said before turning to me. "Joey are you all right" 'what was I gonna say. OMG. I think I actually like him. No what am I saying I don't like anyone, but he did just protect me. AHHHH! Stupid girl emotions' "fine" 'nice going genius you couldn't think of anything better to say. Suicchi then took a step towards me and looked me over "it looks like they did quite a number on you, he said gently brushing my hair out of the way to reveal a dark purple bruise on my cheek. "c'mon lets go back to my house and ill bandage up and we can decide what were going to do with the movie." 'not wanting to argue I silently followed them back to his house.
He opened the door and let me go inside first "take a seat on the couch I'll be back in a minute with the first aid kit." He then disappeared into what I assumed was the kitchen and left me with just Hiei, he was sitting on the window sill just staring out into space. When Kurama returned surprisingly enough Hiei turned around and came to inspect what Kurama was doing. He placed some ice of my cheek and then places a band aid on the cuts along my arms. He then gently began pressing on each of my ribs which made me jump a foot in the air "sorry I'm just checking to see if any of them are broken are cracked" I didn't respond which I guess he took as an ok to continue. I winced as he began pressing on several off the ribs my father had broken earlier this week. He immediately looked up at me, when he realized they were broken. Worry was clearly inside his beautiful green eyes 'ahh not that though again. I don't like anybody I don't need anybody, but him and Hiei still protected me even after I've been so cold.'
"could you lie down on your back so I can bandage those up? You have several broken ribs" I lied down without much of a protest, partly because it was hurting, but mostly because of the glare Hiei was giving me which pretty much said 'don't argue, and after what happened in the alleyway. I'm not taking any unnecessary chances.' Kurama then gently lifted my shirt so I was just above my rib cage (AN: How else is he gonna bandage it? Also I know I keep referring to him as Kurama and Suichhi when in Joey's POV Joey doesn't know that Suichhi's real name is Kurama, but it's a whole lot easier to type so that's what I'm sticking with) and both his and Hiei's eyes darkened when they saw all the bruises and scars their. 'Shit. I forgot about those how the hell am I going to explain' "Where did you get all these" Kurama asked all gentleness gone from his voice "some of these are old scars there's no way those thugs could've given them to you." 'ahh what am I going to say.' Hiei then spoke up "we want the truth onna not some lie, and trust me I will no if you are lying." "It's none of you business" I said attempting to sit up only to be pushed back down by Kurama. "Please tell us we only want to help you"
'This is the weirdest feeling ever I actually think I can trust them, well what's one more betrayal, if it turns out I can trust them all the better for me right. Oh I sure hope I'm making the right call' "lets just say me and certain people don't get along" "you and what certain people" said Hiei his look clearly said 'I want answers and I want them now' "my parents" I said in a barely audible tone. Kurama's eyes widened in surprise "what!" "my parents, mainly my father" I said keeping my gaze on the ceiling not wanting to look into their eyes. "how long" kurama asked softly "since I went to live with them, which was when I was about five." I replied monotonously. Hiei then gave me a look I would have never expected it was a look of anger, sympathy, and understanding. 'I wonder if he dealt with the same thing.'
Kurama then offered for me to come and stay with him and his mother for a while "it's a lot better than living with them, please" the tone in his voice made me give in 'I guess I do like him' I thought 'this day is getting better no more living with them, actually finding friends I can trust, and on top of that maybe some of these scars will begin to heal' I then closed my eyes and lets Kurama finish wrapping my stomach "we can work on the project tomorrow. You've had a long day why don't I show you where you'll be staying and maybe you can take a nap or something. Kurama the led me up the stairs to a beautiful room with pale yellow walls, and flowers all around. "well move these out so you can have more space to yourself" "no need I kind of liked them. "thank you for letting me stay here" he then returned my thanks with a beautiful smile. I laid down and began thinking some things over. Who would have ever thought someone would be able to break down my barrier, but I think I actually like this change. I'm finally becoming the person I always wanted to be.
AN: Okay people there's chapter five I was so happy that I finally got some review that I decided to post this up a day early and make this chapter really long especially after how short the last two chapter have been. I'll post chapter six up by next week since I got five reviews, but before I post chapter seven up with want fifteen reviews. I mean this is turning out to be longer than I expected which is a good thing, but I want people to tell me what they think and tell me how I can make the story better.
