When Ayame awoke she was extremely hot because her blankets were wrapped around her so tight, being a fire demon she never needs heavy clothing.

'Wait a second, my pillows don't raise up and down, that means i'm on someone.'

Ayame panickly turned around and came face to face with Hiei's face, his arm was wrapped protectively around her waist, she had been sleeping on his chest, his strong warm chest, 'No no no! bad thoughts!'

She tried to get out of his grasp but his grip was too strong, the sun was coming in through the parts of the windowsill that the curtains failed to cover, that meant people would wake up soon and find both of them in bed like that, Ayame started to struggle but only lightly, she was scared of what the kajihenge would do if he woke up. Hiei stirred then opened his crimson eyes looking straight into Ayame's mismatched orbs.

Ayame screamed not too loudly and pushed him out of the bed. He then jumped up and glared at her.

''What was that for, shoujo?''

''You were touching me, I don't like to be touched'' Ayame said then jumped out of bed and stretched, Hiei just watched her for a moment wondering if bending over backwards like that hurt.

''Woot! It's morning which means I can go back to my nice bed and you can put your clothes on,'' Ayame said rejoicing, she then walked over to the door.

''Shoujo, where are your tails and ears?''

''Oh shit,'' The girl said then ran to Hiei's window and opened it then looked into the sky, even though it was perfectly bright, sure enough there it was. There was a full moon up in the sky, it looked like a grey crater against the blue hue of the sky.

''So?'' Hiei said.

''Its nothing,'' Ayame said ashamed then continued to walk out of his room and into her own, she got straight under the covers then curled up and dropped in a restless sleep.

Dream:

A young girl was running across the snow, the loud pounding footsteps slowly gaining on her, too scared to turn around and too tired to think she carried on running, Her body weak from lack of nutrition that day and from running around in the forest for longer then she usually did, just gave up. As she dropped to the cold snow covered floor, everything was going in slow motion. The girl was thinking of how helpless she was and how her father died. When she hit the floor her pursuer would catch her and it would all be over, she felt a pair of arms wrap around her and grab her before she hit the ground. She cowered and rolled into a ball in the person's arms wondering what they were going to do with her, it shocked her when she heard a familiar voice comfort her.

''It's okay,'' The voice said then held the small girl closer to his chest. The small two toned girl un-curled but made sure to keep a tight hold on her panda toy, she opened her mismatched eyes to see they were blurring through trees. Just before she passed out the scent of what her mind described as burning wood and cinnamon entering her nostrils and then blackness.

(END)

Ayame woke up with beads of sweat dripping off her body and her breathing ragged. She got out of the bed but dropped to the floor from dizziness. The neko-jin laid on the floor holding her head for a few minutes, after the slight pain passed, she pulled herself up with help from the bed, the floor spinning around her. Hiei then walked into her room without knocking, after seeing her about to fall over he blurred over to her and supported her, she instantly pulled away from him and fell to the floor.

''What's wrong, shoujo?'' Hiei asked in his normal arrogant tone.

''Nothing,'' She snapped letting Hiei see her teeth were no longer sharp but perfectly straight like a ningens. She then flopped face first onto her bed.

''Here,'' Hiei said holding out the wrist cuffs she had left in his room, she stood back up and took them, her dizziness gone.

''Just go,'' The two-toned girl said angrily slamming the door after he left. She stalked into her bathroom and after locking the door, she threw her clothes off and took a cold shower.

After getting washed and changed, she started down the stairs and sat at the dining table, banging her head against the table untill Shuichi walked over.

What is the matter, Ayame-san?'' He asked making Ayame look up ang glare at him. Shuichi suddenly gasped. "Where are your ears and tails?" Ayame was about to answer but Yuusuke who was sitting at the table next to Kuwabara spoke up.

''Y'know I once read this manga, I only got it because it had some naked girls on the front and was quite cheap,''

''Was there a point in this story?'' Shuichi asked.

''Oh yeah, anyway it was about these people that were born with cat ears and as soon as they had sex and lost their virginity the cat ears dropped off, maybe Ayame's like that and last night her and Hiei got upto no good. I did hear some screams coming from their room,''

''Don't be such a retard,'' Ayame said angrily ''If I were to have sex it wouldn't be with him, the only reason you heard me yelling at him was because he was pulling me by my legs to get me out of his bed, he nearly stretched me, damn baka. Anyway the reason I don't have any of my cat features at the moment is because today is the night of the full moon and for a whole 24 hours I lose all my youkai powers and become as weak as a pathetic little ningens. But I swear if any of you piss me off, When I egain my demon powers, you'll wake up on fire."

Everyone in the room just stared at her with anime chibi eyes until Miirei walked in.

''Hey everyone what going-oh no is it a full moon already?''

''Yes,'' Ayame groaned

Koenma then suddenly appeared in the kitchen in his teenage form.

''Whoa! Koenma is that you?'' Miirei asked being able to smell his scent.

''Yes, I have some important news for you, your school has set a new school uniform policy,'' The teenager Koenma said then summoned 7 packages, ''So I thought I'd deliver them to you,'' Koenma handed out a package to each of the team all the boxes had they're names on ''Oh and girls with long hair must wear it out with a middle parting,'' Koenma said to Ayame seeing as the only other girl was Miirei and her hair wasn't long.

''What about Shuichi?'' Ayame moaned now sitting on the back of the couch eating an apple,''

''He's not a boy,'' Koenma said then jumped into a portal.

Ayame being extremely curious opened her package from her seat on the back of the sofa and found a black pleated skirt, a white button up shirt with a blue tie, a pair of white legwarmers, and a pair of black, healed school shoes.

''No way am I wearing these,'' Ayame said holding the uniform out at arms length, ''It's like those uniforms from old men's perverted fantasies.''

''I think they're cute,'' Miirei said looking at the uniform.

''Youkai are not meant to be cute, this is sexist, biest(sp?), fascist, racist and discriminative!'' Ayame shouted.

'Do you even know what half of those words mean?' Hiei asked Ayame telepathically.

'No.' Ayame said inocently 'But that's not the point!'

''This has to be the worst day of my life, first I lose my power then I have to wear a skirt,'' Ayame ranted while stomping up the stairs with her uniform, Miirei following after her shaking her head.

Ayame put the uniform on and looked at herself in the mirror on the back of her wardrobe door. the black skirt came up past her knees, and the long sleeved top came just below the skirt started. She then brushed her hair out into a middle parting but keepng the front bits and the fringe as it usually was. She quickly got a pair of chopsticks and wound the back of her hair really fast into a bun and grabbed her black trench coat that went nearly down to the ground then put it on and buttoned it up.

When she got downstairs Miirei was already down there prancing about in her new uniform.

''You forgot your collar,'' Ayame pointed out to the wolf then leaned up against the wall.

''Oh yeah! Hey Ayame let me see what you look like in your uniform, I've never seen you in a skirt before.''

''No."

''Fine. But you'll have to take it off when you get to school Miirei said with a grin then ran upstairs to get her collar. After a couple more minutes the boys came down the stairs wearing their uniform which were black trowsers and a black school jacket over the top (like Ayumu Narumi's uniform from spiral) Hiei was wearing his with the jacket undone and a black t-shirt underneath, Shuichi was wearing his with the jacket done up properly, Yusuke was wearing his with the top clasps undone and Kuwabara was wearing his open with a white t-shirt underneath, They all had the same black sneakers on.

Yusuke looked at Ayame but saw the bad mood she was in and knew it was better not to ask.

They walked out the house as soon as the bus came and took their seats at the back. Ayame sat in the corner right at the back, Miirei had made Hiei sit next to Ayame, Shuichi then sat next to Hiei, then Miirei sat next to Shuichi so to keep an eye on Ayame, Kuwabara sat on the seat in front of Miirei and Yusuke sat in the seat next to Kuwabara. When Kelsie got on she sat in front of Hiei with her second in command, Emma.

When the bus started Kelsie turned around and moved a bit closer to Hiei making him move further into Ayame.

''Hiei, you look like totally hot in your new uniform,'' Kelsie said in her preppy voice whilst moving her face closer to Hiei's and batting her eyelids, she then moved back to look at Miirei who was busy talking to Yusuke.

''Shuichi you like totally suit that uniform,''

''Uh, thank you kelsie,'' Shuichi replied with a sweatdrop.

''So how do you like mine?

'Kelsie's trying to seduce your boyfriend' Ayame said to Miirei through their special link. (Ash: Everytime I say special, I think of "Special" Stupid Sean.)

'Huh? boyfriend? oh you mean Shuichi. He's not my boyfriend'

'Well you two are meant to be pretending your going out to save Shuichi, hurry up and say something to her I want to see Hiei squirm a bit more'

Miirei laughed at what Ayame said then turned around over hearing Kelsie's question about how she looked.

''Yes Kelsie you look good,'' Miirei started.then just as the bottle blonde was about to open her mouth kelsie continued ''For someone who's been dragged through a hedge backwards.''

''Well I look better then you!'' kelsie shouted angrily..

''Uh huh. Is that why Shuichi and Hiei are scared of you?'' Kelsie just turned around and started to rant about Miirei to her cronies.

''Way to go Mii,'' Ayame said, her voice dripping with sarcasm, pissed of that she couldn't watch Hiei be uncomfortable.

''I guess I'm just too good.'' Miirei said rubbing her nose confidently.

''Dream on,'' Ayame replied and rolled her eyes.

When they got to school Ayame snuck off from the group to her locker, she took her trench coat off and put it in her locker. She then pulled the chopsticks out of her hair letting her purple hair fall just below the backs of hers knees. The youkai turned human then walked along the corridor avoiding as many people as she could until she got to class. She opened the sliding door and walked into the room then breathed a sigh of relief that the gang wasn't there yet.

''There you are!'' Yusuke said from behind Ayame, the two toned girl quickly jumped then turned around.

''Where did you disappear of to?'' Miirei asked.

''As far away from you as I could,'' Ayame said monotonously.

''Awww Kawaii! You look so cute, Ayame, like a doll, I never knew your figure was this good, when we get home I need to put some other dresses on you, oh I bet a cheongsam would look good on you. We'll have to make up for your lack of breasts with a gel bra though.'' Miirei ranted with stary eyes before Ayame grabbed her pink haired friend by the mouth.

''You. Are. Not. Dressing. Me. Up. As soon as the sun rises I swear I will kill you,'' Ayame threatened, she then let go of her friends mouth and took her seat.

Ayame first put her legs up on the desk in the usual position she sat in. She then remembered she was wearing a skirt and pulled her legs off the desk. She then turned the chair around and opened her legs to sit on the chair backwards but the skirt came up and started to show off her but. She then turned the chair around and sat on the chair normally with her legs crossed. The good thing about being small. Miirei just watched with amusement.

''You should wear colour more often,'' Yusuke said to Ayame from his seat.

''I do wear colours, black, red, silver, purple, dark blue, they're all colours,'' Ayame said smirking.

''Yeah but they're all dark, evil colours,'' Yusuke retorted, by now there were four boys standing at Ayame's desk complimenting her.

''So? What's wrong with ''dark evil colours''?'' Ayame said ignoring the boys.

''You have really perfect legs,'' One of the boys said just getting a dirty look from Ayame.

''Look just cause I have to wear this stupid uniform doesn't mean that anything about my personality has changed, I will still kick your asses if you keep pissing me off!'' Ayame shouted getting annoyed. The boys quickly went and sat in their seats only turning around every couple of minutes to get looks at Ayame and Miirei.

The classes passed very slowly to Ayame, she felt like killing everyone in the room more and more with every passing second. Finally after what seemed like an eternity it was lunch time, the gang went up on to the field where the tree that Ayame and Miirei usually spent their lunch was.

Hiei jumped into the tree straight away, and Ayame sat on the ground leaning her back up against the tree trunk seeing as how she was wearing a skirt and her demon powers were gone.

''We're going to get lunch you two stay here and protect the tree,'' Miirei said to Ayame then walked off with the rest of the guys.

'Great, Miirei's really pushing her luck, I should find a way to get back at her'.Ayame thought to herself and didn't notice the other guys approaching the tree. 'I know, Miirei can't hold alchohol when we go to the club on friday i'll get her drunk and get her to kiss Hiei then take some pictures.'

'You better not be thinking of doing that, shoujo.' Hiei said telepathically.

'Why Hiei, what ever are you talking about?' Ayame said with faux innocence.

''Hey babe,'' The jock of the school Takashi said knocking Ayame out of her conversation with Hiei, she scowled at them then stood up not liking the helpless feeling she had whilst sitting on the floor. ''What?'' Ayame demanded, angrily.

''How about we go out tonight,'' He said stepping away from his group and closer to Ayame.

''How about we not,''

''Aw but you look so cute,'' Takashi said cupping his hand under her chin, Ayame then shuddered and brought her fist up and punched him in the face sending him backwards into his gang who helped him up.

''Bitch!'' Takashi shouted then walked back over to Ayame with his gang this time, two of them held her arms against the tree while the other two watched. Takashi then put his hand on the tree next to Ayame's face, and put his other hand on her neck then started moving it slowly down her top over her yin yang pendant whilst moving his face closer to hers looking into her mismatched eyes, ''I always get what I want,'' He said until Hiei dropped out of the tree next to Ayame and kicked Takashi in the chest sending him flying. He then punched one of the boys that were holding onto Ayame's hands.

Ayame kicked the other boy that was holding her hand in the low down place where it really hurts then doing a spin kick to Takashi's face who had just gotten back up, the other boys just dragged the now unconscious Takashi away.

Ayame sat back down in her place under the tree and Hiei was back in the tree

''What the hell did you do that for?'' Ayame said angrily to the kajihenge in the tree.

'You were losing, shojo.'

'No I wasn't, I was doing fine, I don't need your help!'

'Oh yes. Letting them rape you is doing fine.'

'They weren't raping me'

'Then what were they doing? It looked like he had his hand down your top.'

''JUST SHUTUP!'' Ayame shouted at him she then got up and left jumping over the school fence with a bit of trouble. When the rest of the gang got back with some food they noticed Ayame was missing.

''Where's Ayame?'' Miirei asked Hiei who was still in the tree, but he just ignored her.

''Ayame got attacked by some boys then Hiei helped her she got angry and ran off,'' Shuichi answered.

''Well that's just great. Ayame had to run off on today of all days,'' Miirei said frustrated.

''Don't worry, Ayame will probably brood over it for a while then go home,''

''Yeah I suppose,'' Miirei said not believing it.

School had been over for hours, it was now dark and Ayame still hadn't come home.

''I'm really getting worried about her,'' Miirei said pacing up and down in the sitting room then running to the window every couple of minutes.

''Stop pacing up and down, you're gonna get stupid,'' Yusuke said from his seat on the sofa.

''Shut up! don't tell me what to do,''

''Snapping at people helps,'' Hiei said from the windowsill.

''You shut up aswell, this is all your fault for pissing her off in the first place, she's probably lying dead in a ditch or being feasted on by demons as we speak,''

''She'll be fine, she's lived in the makai for years. Hiei could you go find her please,'' Kurama said to the fire apparition.

''And why should I do that fox?''

''Because your the only one with a jagan eye and because you're the one who made her run off.

''And if I refuse?''

''Then no sweet snow,''

''Fine,'' Hiei said opening the window and jumping out into the trees.

Ayame had been wandering around on a beach like place for quite some time now. When she first left the school she had just wandered around, glaring at passing people. When it started to get dark she found herself in a forest, some large low class spider demons attacked her but she fortunately had her daggers strapped onto the outside of her legs under her skirt. Her uniform was now ripped and covered in her own blood, demon blood, sweat, and mud. Her long hair was for some unknown reason not too tangled but had demon blood and dirt in it. She had also managed to lose a shoe by kicking and sticking her foot into one of the spiders.

She now walked along the shoreline her socks and shoe getting wet, she had no idea where she was, and didn't know what direction her temporary home was. She looked up at the cloudless sky and glared at the moon whilst the wind whipped her gunky hair about. She then continued to walk along the beach, keeping her guard up and daggers in her hand just in case anybody or things decided to attack her.

After another half hour of walking, Ayame came to a place on the beach that had a shop that had been closed for the night, she went over to the shop and forced open the locks that were holding the metal lattice in place. She then pulled the metal thing up, smashed the window on the front door and turned the latch opening the door.

Ayame walked into the shop keeping her daggers in front of her just in case any one was there, and searched around for a light switch. Finding one she looked around then spotted all the food and dived on it, she started to eat it untill someone tapped her on her back.

Ayame quickly dropped what she was eating picked up her daggers and jumped to the side, then got in an attack position. When she realized it was only Hiei she sheathed her daggers then glared at him.

''The fox sent me to get you'' Hiei said looking her over.

''I don't need your help, I'll get home by myself,''

''I'm sure you will eventually, but the baka onna's going insane,''

''Tell her I'll be back as soon as the sun rises,''

''I'm not anybody's messenger boy,'' Hiei then grabbed Ayame her and slung her over his shoulder with her thrashing about.

''You smell,'' Hiei said whilst blurring through some trees.

''You would too if you had been wondering around all day getting attacked by ningens, Youkai, and inu's.'' Ayame replied with a grunt.

After a while they had arrived back at the house, Hiei walked through the front door then dropped Ayame on her but and went and sat on the windowsill with some sweet snow Shuichi had given him.

Ayame got up and glared at Hiei until Miirei glomped her back to the ground.

''Oh Ayame! I wassoworriedhowareyouareyouokaywherewereyouwhydidn'tyoucomeback,'' The pink girl said extremely fast then scrunched up her face and got off of Ayame ''Why do you smell so bad? And where's your shoe?''

''I'm fine, I was on some beach somewhere, I was pissed off and then I got lost, I got in a fight with some spider demons, and as I was fighting with them I stuck my foot in one of them only to get my shoe pulled off and when I got it out of the bastards corpse I really didn't want in any more,'' Ayame answered the questions, then stood up.

''How did you defeat them?'' Miirei asked.

''Just because all my youkai power has been sucked out of me by the bastard moon, doesn't mean i'm as weak as normal ningens, and besides I had my daggers with me,'' Ayame unsheathed one of her daggers then replaced it.

''I'm going to take a shower,'' Ayame said then started out of the sitting room.

''There's another uniform in your room,'' Shuichi said to her as she left the room.

''Damn, I thought I'd gotten rid of it,'' Ayame mumbled to herself as she ran up the stairs.

After Ayame had taken a shower, she dried herself and got changed into her pyjamas. She went to the mirror to brush her hair, half way through brushing her hair she realized that the pink dye had washed out and was back to being dark blue, she quickly rushed downstairs into the sitting room and hugged everyone,(yes including Hiei and Kuwabara) when she hugged Kuwabara, Kuwabara at first was shocked then pulled her closer to him holding onto her but, she then kicked him into the wall knocking him out.

''What's all this about?'' Miirei asked.

''My hair,'' Ayame said pointing to her head. ''The pink! It's gone!'' The twotoned girl cried happily making Miirei chuckle, Ayame then wandered into the kitchen and searched through the freezer, she took out some ice cream then put it in a bowl and the rest back into the freezer then went into the sitting room. She took a seat in between Yuusuke and Kuwabara who were on the sofa playing games on the T.V.

Ayame was just watching them until Hiei came up behind her and stole the bowl of ice cream from her.

''Hey!'' Ayame cried before jumping off the sofa and chasing after the spiky headed demon, she then got it back off of him then started to run away and eat it at the same time giving her a brain freeze. Hiei caught up to her and stole the sweet snow then punched her in the arm and blurred away. Ayame let out a whine of pain then went and sat on the empty reclinable chair and held her head for a minute.

When she'd gotten over her brain freeze she got back up to get the sweet snow, but saw Hiei had eaten it, she then ran over to him and kicked him in the leg making him fall to the ground.

Ayame now sat in her room bandaging up the burns Hiei had given her on her arm.

''I have to be the most pathetic fire demon in history,'' Ayame moaned aloud to herself then flopped down backwards onto her bed.

'You're right, Hanyou.' she heard Hiei's voice say in her head.

'Shut up, Aisuhana' She then put her shields up and climbed into the silky black sheets on her bed and fell into for once a peaceful, comfortable and undisturbed sleep.
