"What the hell did you call us here for stupid toddler!" The oh-so-lovely voice of Yusuke Urameshi filled the prince of Reikai's office.
Kurama winced, then rubbed his ear, at the same time moving a few feet away from the detective. He then surveyed the office of his boss. Yusuke and Kuwabara a distance away from Koenma's desk yelling their heads off at each other. How they manage to disagree with almost everything yet be such close friends is still a mystery to him. He watched their argument which is beginning to look oddly to him like a scene where the wife and husband yells at each other then be all lovey-dovey the next moment. Quickly erasing the disturbing thought he look over at the other side of the room at the fourth member of the spirit detectives. Judging by the look on the fire apparition face, Yusuke and Kuwabara will probably be in danger of losing their heads if this argument continues.
Finally, the red head glances towards the desk piled papers and the amusing sight of a baby sucking furiously on a pacifier and stamping papers like mad. He highly doubts that the prince of Reikai even read what's on the paper before stamping it.
After a while, Kurama cleared his throat to catch the attention of the "busy" prince. Staring blankly up, Koenma then realized they have arrived then shoved a pile of paper aside to be able to see them.
"Finally you're here! Why didn't anyone inform me the group of you has been here for awhile!"
His team just sweatdropped at his comment. How Koenma missed Yusuke's greeting is a mystery to them.
"Anyway…" He paused when he realized not everyone he expected is there. "Where the heck are Kira and Akio?"
"Miss me already toddler?" Kira strolled into the office then settled herself on a sofa. The sofa is a recent addition to the office after Kira nagged constantly at Koenma for not having seats. "Hey Yusuke, Idiot, Kurama, Hiei."
"Hey"
"Wanna go out with me?" The question was ignored.
"Good evening Kira"
"Hn"
Akio walked in a few steps behind her and jumped heavily into the sofa beside his sister, causing her to bounce up slightly.
"Damn, Akio you're freakin' heavy you know that?"
"I so am not! Are you implying I'm fat!"
Kira just smirked at him in reply then turned her attention to the toddler.
"Ahem, I know you guys have worked together on a few missions before. I'm putting Kira on your team permanently Yusuke."
"Why?" Yusuke and Kira asked in unison.
"I thought you guys might need some help after coming back from the previous mission barely alive." He ignored the protest from Yusuke and continued.
"She will be on your team and that's it. Meeting over. Get out of here. Oh and Akio? Stay for awhile I need to talk to you" Saying that he shoo everyone except Akio out.
"Stupid toddler, calling us for a meeting just to add another member into the team. Ruin my plans on asking the beautiful Yukina out for dinner" The last part of his sentence earned a glare from Hiei.
"Oh shut up Kuwabara. Not like Yukina would accept a date from an ugly idiot anyway."
"What did you say Urameshi! I'm gonna pound you for saying that!"
"Love to see you try!"
Kira just sighed and walk off with Kurama and Hiei beside her.
"I'm going off first. I promised my mother I will be home in time for dinner."
"Bye Kurama" Kira waved as the red headed boy went off. "You staying with us tonight Hiei?"
"Hn"
"I'll take that as a yes"
Sometimes, instead of sleeping in a tree or at Kurama's, Hiei would stay over at Kira's house where there is a guest bedroom. Although it's rare that he actually stayed there the whole night.
Hiei give an annoyed look when he felt a weight on his back. He automatically held on to her legs to make sure she doesn't fall.
"I'm not your horse onna"
"Too bad. Now home please."
"Hn"
Kira sighed as she got ready for bed. Even before Koenma had put her on the team, she has hung out with them most of the time. She, Yusuke and Kuwabara skipped school almost everytime and occasionally with Tori. Kurama shared the same passion she has in books and visit the library frequently with her, although Kurama reads for knowledge while she reads for fun.
Hiei trained with her sometimes and she slowly managed to gain the short-tempered demon's trust. Yusuke, Kuwabara, Kurama, Hiei, Keiko, Yukina, Shizuru and even Genkai. They were some of the little friends she has.
She frowned as she heard the front door open and close as Akio came back. She wondered what the toddler kept him behind for. 'Oh well, there's plenty of time tomorrow' She thought then launched herself under the covers of her bed.
Kira blinked and rubbed her eyes sleepily. "What the hell are you doing Hiei?… Oh…"
She looked amused at the sight of him poking at the ringing alarm clock he held in his hand.
"This stupid thing won't shut up. It have been ringing non-stop for five minutes damn it" Quickly losing his temper with the un-cooperative alarm clock, he whipped out his katana and soon Kira have four extra alarm clocks. Parts of an alarm clock anyway.
"You're buying a new one for breaking that." Saying that she grabbed some clothes and head into the bathroom to change for school. She didn't mind having Hiei in her room as that's what happens everytime when he stayed at her house. Her alarm clock rings, annoyed Hiei, he stormed into the room, try to shut up the alarm clock, lose his temper, and voila, she needs a new alarm clock.
After taking a quick shower and doing other necessities, she came out dressed in a pair of jeans and a black button-up shirt that is definitely not her school uniform. Heck, the teachers don't care anymore what she wear in school after punishing her a million times for not wearing the standard school uniform.
Taking her own sweet time to walk downstairs, she walked into the kitchen to get her breakfast. Finding nothing suitable in the fridge, she grabbed a box of cereal and started eating it straight from the box.
"Aren't you suppose to eat it with milk?"
"It taste better dry Hiei. Wanna try?" She held out the box to the koorime standing at the doorway.
"Hn"
"Guess not" She continued her breakfast until she caught sight of the clock in the kitchen. "Oh shit, I'm gonna be late again…" Leaving the box on the counter, she grabbed a bottle of water from the fridge, gulped it down, then ran out of the house.
As she ran down the road to the school, she crashed into a very familiar guy with the usual heavily gelled hair.
"Ouch…"
"Ouch is right" Yusuke mumbled into the cement. "Now get the hell off me!"
"Sorry" Kira stood up and straightened her shirt. Then she hauled Yusuke up and pulled him along as she continued her run to the school. "Hurry up! We're gonna be late!"
"I thought you don't give a damn about being late for school" Yusuke grumbled as he tried to keep up with her. "Damn it! You're gonna yank my arm out! Slow down will ya!"
"Feh" She abruptly let go of Yusuke's hand, causing his face to meet the ground the second time today. "I'm just trying to be on time for once. And guess what? I made it!" She grinned as she turned around. It was quickly replaced by a puzzled look. "Yusuke?"
"Down here"
"What the hell are you doing on the floor? You're so freaking clumsy" She muttered as she helped him up.
Yusuke just give her a glare. This girl is absolutely crazy. He watched as she ran up to Keiko who was walking up to class and jumped on her back. Yup, she's nuts.
Seeing how light Kira is, not to mention she is shorter then Hiei, Keiko has no problem carrying her up the classroom. Upon reaching the classroom, she promptly dropped the girl in her seat and when to her own which was a seat away from the right from Kira.
"Ow…You could have let me down gentler…" Kira muttered as she rubbed her sore rear. She then proceeds to cushion her head with her arms and lie down on the table. She lift her head up slightly as Yusuke turned his chair backwards and sat down on the right of her.
"Where's the idiot?" She asked as she watch Yusuke stared at Keiko's chest.
"Don't know … Ouch!"
"Who's the idiot?" The idiot himself walked in and sat in front of Yusuke. "Nice sunburn Urameshi" Then started sniggering at the sight of his best friend with a red handprint on one side of his face.
Kira just looked at the Kuwabara laughing and pointing at Yusuke, Keiko fuming and Yusuke rubbing the slap he just received. She sighed and rolled her eyes, then went back to doing what she always do in class as the teacher came in. Sleep.
Poke. Pause. Poke poke.
"Damn it!" Kira swatted at the hand poking her in the side. "What is that for?" She glared at the culprit.
Yusuke just laughed at the indignant look on her face. "Four lessons just passed sleeping beauty. Time for lunch."
"You know, sometimes I wonder why you even come to school for" Keiko commented as she sat herself on Kira's desk. "You just sleep through all the lessons."
Kira just grinned at Keiko. "Um… because I'm forced to?"
Keiko rolled her eyes at her then started down to the cafeteria, Kira, Yusuke and Kuwabara trailing after her. They all got themselves a tray and went to the lunch line. After getting their lunch they sat down on a table in a corner of the cafeteria and started eating.
"You know, Hiei been staying at your house more frequent then ever. So what does he do when he stays there anyway?" Yusuke asked, giving Kira a perverted grin.
Kira rolled her eyes. "Nothing to do with whatever your mind is thinking"
"He's right you know" Keiko grinned at the girl, then elbowed her. "Come on, there's something going on between the two of you isn't it?"
Kira blushed slightly then yelled at the other girl "There's nothing going on between me and him damn it!" True, she did have a slight crush on Hiei, but that's her own business and she don't intend to let anyone find out.
"Shorty's blushing! So she does have something going on with the shrimp!" Kuwabara laughed pointing at her slightly red face. Then he paused and think about what he just said. "Oh … eww…. you and him?"
"SHUT UP!" Kira yelled picking up the closest thing to her hand, which just happened to be her lunch and threw the bowl of spaghetti at the Kuwabara. Unluckily for her, he somehow managed to dodge and the food landed on a girl behind him. "Oops…" Kira said when she realized its one of the "popular girls" coughprepscough of the school.
"Bitch!" The girl stood up and threw her cup still full with drink at Kira. Thankfully, her aim was way off and hit Yusuke instead.
"HEY!" He yelled and threw his lunch at the girl and we all know what this leads to…
"FOOD FIGHT!" Kuwabara screamed and cowered under a table. A second later, the other three joined him under the table.
"Damn! This is all you fault! Why the hell did you throw your food for?" Yusuke yelled at the blue-haired girl brushing chips off her shirt.
"ME! You guys started it!" Kira screamed back.
"Look, who cares who started it. Let's get outta here." Keiko said then proceed to rush out of the cafeteria dodging the food that was flying around. The others quickly followed suit and they met up outside the classroom of their next class.
"Ick" Kira commented as she picked food of her. Then started laughing at Yusuke when she caught sight of him with a piece of noodle hanging from his hair.
"Very funny" Yusuke mumbled then brushed the noodle off.
"The pasta sauce taste good though." Kuwabara said as he started licking the sauce off his shoe. They rest gave him a disgusted look and scooted away from him. The bell went off then and the two boys and Kira sighed, walking dejectedly into the classroom. Keiko shook her head at them, sighed and followed them in.
