Yay! Another chapter! Anyhoo, thankies to my cherished reveiwers!

Kuramalovergonecrazy: You go ahead and think those thoughts...I'll be busy writing.

Yume No Anime: You know, I never thought about if she was an otaku or not...oh well. Anyway, Koenma's pacifier creates a barrier or something. I read that on a fan site :).

Moon Archer: Yeah, Kurama does bear a certain resemblance to a girl...But I'd NEVER admit it! I'll keep using cliffhangers until I feel like stopping! If you don't like it, then tell my man-eating weales! MUWHAHAHAHA!

ANYway...Yeah. So here's the disclaimer:

Disclaimer: I don't own YYH, or that cutie Hiei, or the extremely hot Kurama, or Crawling by Linkin Park, or M&M's. So there. Don't sue me!

The Girl, The God, and The Demons

Chapter Three: The First Encounter

"Stupid skirt..." Diana mumbled to herself, as she stumbled out of the car. Her short hair swung into her face and she pushed it away, only to have it fall back again. A hand crossed her currently blocked vision.

"Want some help?" Shuichi asked, always the gentleman.

"No," Diana replied stubbornly, lifting herself from the ground. "I don't need a guy to help me get up. I am perfectly capable of that myself, thank you very much." She stared at him menacingly, as if daring him to challenge her.

He shrugged carelessly, and replied, "Okay."

He then walked over to a group of guys, one with slicked-back black hair, another with orange hair, both wearing uniforms, and another, but without a uniform. This one had spiky black hair, and his white bandana stood out against a black cloak. He's kind of...cute, Diana thought. He glanced over in her direction; she turned away and walked into the school building.

"So, what's with the chick? Your new girlfriend, Kurama?" The boy with greasy black hair teased.

"She's the exchange student, Yusuke. Koenma arranged it so that she stayed with me," Kurama replied, ignoring Yusuke's remark. A flock of pretty girls walked by, all of them staring at Kurama hopefully. The guy with the orange hair looked slightly dazed, and his eyes followed Diana's path.

"What's up with you, Kuwabara?" Yusuke said obnoxiously, "You haven't acted this weird since...Yukina" At the word 'Yukina', the spiky haired one tensed, his red eyes filled with hate.

Then he spoke, in a harsh, arrogant voice, "Isn't it obvious? He likes her. Like all of his other attempts at love, this one will fail as well." As Kuwabara opened his mouth to reply, the bell rang. The guy with spiky hair stared to walk away. Yusuke spotted a girl with short brown hair up ahead, turned around, and called out to his retreating figure, "See you at the meeting, Hiei!" He then began to walk up toward the school, with the other two at his side.

"Crawling in my skin, these wounds, they will not heal..." Diana sung to herself, with a stunning voice, while trying to do her homework and munching on M&M's. She had a nasty essay due on Friday. Man, Japanese schools are tough! she thought, This sucks! I think I'll go bother Shuichi... She giggled playfully as she strode toward Shuichi's door, putting her ear up to it and listening. Surprisingly, she heard voices. Strange, she thought, bewildered, He didn't tell Shiori that friends were coming over...Rule-breaker! She kicked the door open, and jumped, shocked at the sight before her.

Four boys were sitting in a circle, in the middle of the floor. They were the same boys that Shuichi had hung out with in the morning, including the spiky-haired one. They looked up at her, astonished. She had assumed an extremely immature karate-kick position, (she was sugar-high) and was thoroughly embarrassed. She was taller than most of them, especially the spiky-haired one. The orange-haired boy gazed at her, mesmerized by her short-but-cute auburn hair and emerald eyes, as well as the many freckles covering her face. The greasy-haired boy stared at her as well, but looked like he was suppressing a laugh with difficulty. The spiky-haired boy stared untrustingly at her with dangerous crimson eyes, and said telepathically to Kurama, Who is she?! Why is she interrupting us?!

Kurama replied coolly, Calm down, Hiei. She is the girl from this morning. The one Koenma wants us to watch. I suppose she was merely bored of being alone in her room. Typical American... Kurama glanced at her and said, "What's wrong, Diana? Do you need help with something?"

"Ummm.....yeah. Well, first of all, err...ummm, why are all these people in here?!" She hurriedly got out of the mock karate stance and blushed furiously as she saw the spiky-haired boy give her a dirty look. Kurama noticed this, and gave Hiei a look to make him stop. He then stood and introduced his friends to her.

"This is Yusuke," He pointed out the boy with greasy black hair; he waved in acknowledgment, "He's Kuwabara", the weird orange-haired boy nodded, drooling a bit, still dazed by her beauty, "And this...this is Hiei." The boy with spiky hair glared daggers at her; she blushed so hard, her face must have looked like a tomato. I must look soooo dumb right now... She thought, Right in front of that really hot guy! What was his name....Oh, yeah! Hiei! What a cute name... Hiei, who was reading her thoughts, fought hard to mask his surprise. She waltzed out of the room, muttering apologetically. As soon as she had left and the door was closed, she banged her head against the wall, punishing herself for acting so stupidly. The sound was heard through the wall, and drifted into Kurama's room, where Yusuke was doubling up with laughter.

"What the hell was that about!? What a loser!!!!!" He commented, after his fits of laughter had subsided.

"I believe that, Yusuke, was the American girl. I have reason to believe that she was sugar-high..." Kurama said, being more rude than usual. It was as if he needed to find a reason to pick on her, however rude it was. While he and Yusuke joked about her, Kuwabara daydreamed in a corner, and Hiei was deep in thought. Why did she call me CUTE!? I should be MENACING!!!! NOT CUTE!!!!!! Oh, well. She's just a stupid ningen, an American, no less...Still, I can't help but wonder...She was kind of attractive...for a ningen...He then stood abruptly, flung open the window with a flick of his wrist, and jumped out, all within three seconds.

"Wait! Hiei! The meeting! Aww, screw it. He's gone. So, how about those Greek goddesses, huh? You know, the ones from history class? Are they hot or what! If I saw one of them, I'd ask her out!" Yusuke took a brave stab at communication, but only earned weird looks. However, Greek divinity was closer than he thought.

The next morning, Kurama went to hang out with his friends before the bell, as usual. When Diana caught sight of Hiei, she blushed, and she could've sworn that she saw a smile upon his distant face. When Kurama caught sight of Hiei's smile, and saw Diana's blush, he shot a dirty look in Hiei's direction, his eyes even more green than usual. Hiei responded with indifference, and continued talking to the other two boys, who were clueless to the situation. Kurama wondered vaguely why he even cared about Diana liking Hiei, as it was so obvious. Hiei wondered vaguely why he was beginning to like her; after all, she was only a human. Yusuke wondered vaguely what was happening with Kurama and Hiei, and Kuwabara, he just wondered vaguely.

A/N: I'm sorry if they act slightly OOC. I tried. In case you hadn't noticed, I don't like Kuwabaka or Yusuke too much. They only play a minor role in this story. Please R and R! Mucho Thankies!
