NEXT CHAPTER! I hope y'all enjoy it.
Disclaimer: I OWN NOTHING. Sad, but true.

Alena growled slightly, pulling herself off the floor. This was getting really old, really fast. Not one of her attacks was doing any damage it seemed, and yet, every time Yoko attacked her, she went down. So not fair!
"Stupid damn fox. Freaking plant obsessed dumb ass kitusne." She muttered under her breath.
"You do know I can hear you quite clearly, ookamai." Yoko said calm.
Alena bared her fangs at him, her eyes glaring. "You think I care? If you're going to kill me, get it over with." She attempted to get up off the ground, but found she couldn't move her body. "What the hell is this?"
Yoko, who had also been in the process of moving forward, found himself frozen also. He could see Alena's body shaking with the effort of trying to move. He probably was too.
The side door of the room opened to reveal none other than Sukai. "Just the person I want to kill more than you at the moment, Yoko." Alena snared.
The demon laughed, taking in the two. Yoko was glaring, but other than that, nothing unusual for what Sukai had heard about the legendary bandit. The ookamai stubborn ass that she was was quaking with the effort of moving her body, a growl vibrating through her chest.
"That'll do you no good." He told her flatly. "Don't you just love the effects my drug has as if wears off. Complete paralysis."
"It's wonderful." Yoko snapped, sarcasm evident in his voice. His golden eyes flashed with anger, and in short, the kitsune looked more ready to kill than before. "What do you want?"
Sukai smirked. "Is that anyway to treat your host?" He asked, jokingly, almost like he was talking to an old friend.
Yoko snared. Alena snorted. "Fuck you." She stated flatly.
"I could have it arranged. It's been a long time since I had sex." Alena made a disgusted face at Sukai's statement. "If you don't like the answer, reconsider making a statement, ookamai." Alena snarled. "Well, I came just to welcome you to your new home. You two are now my property. Some of the drugs we will test will increase your strength stamina, agility, and so on. You have obviously no choice as but to participate in these tests. I hope you enjoy your stay." With a swish of clothing, Sukai let the containment room. About a second after he let, the binding from the drug broke. Alena, who hadn't been expecting it, was still straining to move, and crashed head first into the wall.
"Damn it all!" She exclaimed loudly. Alena looked around to find, the red headed Kurama standing where Yoko had been, looking slightly dazed. Some remaining affects of the drug were still obvious though. Kurama's hair was streaked with Yoko's white silver, and he still had fox ears. His eyes were thankfully, back to acid green. "That guy is going to die." Alena stated flatly glaring at the door. Kurama nodded slowly, a slightly dazed look still in his eyes. Steadily, the world came into a better focus for him.
Kurama nodded slightly, looking to Alena who hadn't moved from her spot on the floor. The girl was still rubbing her head and neck slightly from her crash course with the wall. "Are you alright?" Kurama asked, going and kneeling beside her, beginning to examine some of her more obvious injuries from her fight with Yoko.
Alena pulled back, pride getting the better of her. "I'm fine, honestly. You don't have to worry about me all the time."
Kurama smiled gently taking a hold of her arm again, this time not letting her go. "True, I don't have to worry about you. But I care about you as a friend, and there for it's my job to worry about you. Don't argue." Alena sighed slightly in slight submission, letting Kurama tend to her wounds.

Maggie wondered around the halls of the high in complete boredom after her last class had ended. She wasn't going to go out for cheerleading no matter what Koenma said. She had nothing against cheerleaders. One of her oldest and best friends was a cheer leader. But it had never really been all that appealing to Maggie.
As she wondered the halls, she began to think about how much she missed dance. All her life Maggie had loved dancing, but ever since she'd arrived here and started training, she hadn't been able to do any dance at all. With new sudden determination, she set off in search of a gymnasium or somewhere else they would have a stage, boom box, and privacy.
……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………….
LACI P.O.V.
I stood casually in the line up waiting for the cheer captain to show up. She was five minutes late for her own try outs now. That was promising.
Just then, a blond girl, with her hair pulled into a high pony tail, strutted into the room. She frowned slightly, muttering to herself. I knew Amanda and Marissa were some where on the other side of the gym, but they didn't really concern me at the moment. I needed any excuse to leave at the moment. One wrong move from that captain, and I was gone.
She was walking slowly up the line making comments about some of the girls. Some of the girls, left in tears. Great. But Marissa and Amanda weren't included in that group.
When she finally reached me she looked me over. Standing a good two or three heads taller than me, I guess she felt that she was intimidating. Stupid bitch. "I'm sorry. Cheerleaders usually need to be a little taller than a fifth grader. And, they can't be chubby if they're short."
That was the last straw. I could take being called short. It's true for the most part. But, chubby. Come on. Who says that any more? "Fine." I said flatly. "I don't need a judgmental bitch bossing me around." I said with a smirk walking out of the double doors. But of course, not before flipping her off. I could hear the whispers coming from the other side. Who would be crazy enough to flip off the head cheer-bitch? Me.
Hiei was standing outside the gym doors. "Aren't you supposed to be at football try-outs?" I asked, curiosity getting the best of me. Red eyes closed in what could almost be considered a silent laugh.
"The coach said I was 'too scrawny' to be on his football team." He looked me over, then back at the gym doors. "Aren't you supposed to be in there?"
I blinked. "Oh, yeah." I shrugged, grinning shoving my hands in my pockets. "I'm too short and too fat to be a cheer leader."
Hiei snorted, glaring momentarily at the doors. I cocked my head to the side, a small smirk playing at my lips. God he was hot! I shook my head, pulling my hair our of the ponytail it had been in.
"Well, I'm going to skate. You coming?" I asked that last part almost rhetorically. I didn't exactly expect him to follow me again. A surprise, but not a bad one. Maybe we could actually join the skating team.(A/N: That would be interesting, now wouldn't it?)

NORMAL P.O.V.
Yuskue wandered the halls aimlessly. He didn't do sports, so football wasn't an option. And anyways, who would want him on the team? Eh…. Most of the coaches would actually, but it was the process of getting him to practice, and show up that worried them. And Yuskue? He just didn't want to deal with it.
Yuskue was almost knocked over as something—someone—slammed into him. Managing to catch himself and the offending person he gripped their shoulders and looked down into…. Maggie's eyes?
"What are you doing running around the halls like that?" He asked, releasing the girl.
Maggie was panting, her blue eyes gleaming, blond hair disheveled. "Oh, just running from the law." Yuskue noticed a small black stereo tucked under her arm. She glanced down at it. "I borrowed it. I'll give it back." She had a look of innocence plastered on her face.
"You stole it from someone, and they want it back, huh?" A small smile played at his lips.
"Fo' sho'. Now, let's run, kay?" (A/N: Bad wording in that sentence. Fo' Sho' just means for sure.) Maggie, grabbed Yuskue's arm and dragged him in the direction she'd been heading. Yuskue didn't argue, one because, he didn't want to get trampled, and two, he wanted to know why Maggie had stolen the stereo.
Maggie, panting and slightly exhausted, dragged a barly winded Yuskue into what looked to be a small gym with a stage. Maggie glared daggers at Yuskue, who was casually taking in the room, while she was struggling to breathe. "I never knew this room was here." He said mostly to himself. He glanced at Maggie. "You know, Genkai has a great technique for giving you more endurance."
Maggie laughed slightly. "I think not." She murmured, glancing around the room muttering to herself about irony. Assumingly finding what she was looking for, she grabbed the stereo and hopped onto the stage plugging it in.
"What are you doing anyways?" The black haired detective asked, his curiosity getting the best of him. The blond haired girl had some curious habits that you didn't see normally.
Maggie glanced at him. "I used to dance all the time." She shrugged. "I might as well see if I still can."
Yuskue sat back and watched as Maggie began to warm up stretching and some practice moves. Finally she pulled a C.D. from her bag and started the music on the stereo. Soon Yuskue was caught up in the fluid movements, skillfully matching the tempo of the music, never missing a beat. Yuskue's eyes followed Maggie, and his mind filled with thoughts that he probably shouldn't be thinking. But he couldn't help it. She was beautiful, and skilled. She had an irresistible attitude that could make almost anyone like her.
Yuskue blinked brining himself back to Earth as the music stopped and Maggie, sat down on the small stage panting. Yuskue smirked slightly. "Again, Genkai could help you with you endurance." He stated. Maggie stuck her tongue out at him.
"What ever. C'mon, let's get outta here. Being school to long does shit to you head."

Alena growled slightly. She wasn't happy at all. The closed space inside the cell she was sharing with Kurama was starting to get to her. Three strides was all it took her to get from on side of the cell to another. And claustrophobia was starting to set in.
Kurama was watching the girl casually. He'd restrained her once from punching the wall, but he had yet to find a way to stop her pacing. Not that the small quarters weren't getting to him as well, he was just better at controlling his feelings of discomfort. He glanced up at Alena when she stopped moving. The slim half demon was examining the bars of the cage closely. "I wonder how hard it would be to blow this place up." She murmured under her breath.
"Knowing you, there's a way." Kurama stated. Alena rolled her now charcoal colored eyes a smile gracing her lips.
"True, true." She almost whispered. She sighed finally in defeat, coming to sit next to Kurama. "This really sucks." She growled.
Kurama nodded. "But for now, there isn't really anything we can do about it."
