Adriel: Yep, yep
Kel: Yeah
Kurama was woken up at about 4:59am by Hiei, who was looking right at him. His eyes were glowing bright red. "Holy -! HIEI! Don't do that!" he yelled, on the other side of the bed. "Kurama, when are we suppose to get up?" Hiei asked. "Not until a couple more hours, Hiei." Kurama said harshly, trying to get back to bed.
"Oh..." Hiei whispered, a bit hurt by the way Kurama said it. Kurama sighed. "I'm sorry Hiei, but most people are asleep at this hour." the red-head explained, already half asleep. "Kurama, can I sleep with you?" Hiei asked innocently. 'I don't want those nightmares anymore...' he thought. Kurama nodded, pretty much already gone.
Of course, seeing how he wasn't really registered what Hiei asked so he was quite...surprised when he woke up and Hiei was there, snuggled into his side. He took a deep breathe, trying not to wake him just yet. 'Okay, Hiei's sleeping. I can live with that,' he thought. "Hiei?" he whispered, shaking him gently. "Wake up."
Hiei said some none-existent words in his sleep. "Hiei, come on or we'll be late." Kurama said, nudging him. Hiei just groaned, his eyes slowly opening. He looked at Kurama. "What?" he asked, sitting up. "We have to get to school." Kurama said, getting up. Hiei followed, looking happy. "Okay." They both went downstairs, and Kurama made breakfast.
The walk to school was uneventful, Hiei asking questions the whole way there. "Kurama, are cats allowed in school?" he asked, making said person look at him in confusion. "No...why?" he asked suspiciously. "Well...Kuro kinda followed us." he said sheepishly. "What! You're only now telling me this!" Kurama snapped. Hiei nodded, not looking at him. "Sorry..." Kurama took in a deep breathe and counted to ten.
"Can't you tell her to go home?" he asked. Hiei nodded. They arrived at the school gate, groups of people all around. "Uh...Kurama? I don't think I like this." Hiei said slowly, looking around. Kurama raised an eyebrow. "Why's that?" he asked. "There's too many different auras in the air...It...hurts." Kurama's eyes widened. "Are you okay?" Hiei only dropped to his knees, clutching his head. 'That boys' so ugly, it's sick' 'Oh, she's hot!' 'Maybe he'll go out with me' 'That bitch! How dare she talk about me like that!' 'Shit! There's a test today!' 'I wonder if the teacher will go out with me...'
There were too many thoughts and feelings in the air. He felt like he was suffocating. "Kurama...make it stop." he whimpered. Kurama looked around, not knowing what to do. 'What to do?' he thought, trying to locate a teacher. "Hey, Kurama? What's wrong?" He looked to see his friend, Kuwabara walking up to them. "Uh, Kuwabara. My adopted brother here is sick. I was wondering if you could help me bring him inside..?"
"Sure." He replied, going to pick up Hiei. Said person winced when he went to touch him. "Hiei, it's okay. Kuwabara's not going to hurt you." Kurama whispered as Kuwa grabbed him. He didn't do anything but stiffen as he was carried inside. Kurama was glad Hiei trusted him so much. It was actually touching. But no time to think about that now. He walked with them into the Nurse's Office.
"Kurama Minamino! What's this, you never come down here." the nurse greeted. "My brother is sick. I don't know what's wrong with him." Kurama replied, looking at Hiei. He did look paler than usual. "Okay, we'll see what we can do." she walked over to Kuwabara and took him from the teen boy. She carried him over to a bed and drew the curtains. After about 20 minutes of her walking around, she came out.
"It seems your brother has either pneumonia in the middle of August or he has other problems out system isn't aware of." she said, looking at Kurama oddly. "Well, Hiei has had problems. You see, he was adopted and we think he was abused...He doesn't get along with others very well." Kurama explained. The nurse sighed. "He'll be alright but I want him to come down if he feels dizzy, alright?" The red-head nodded, walking to where Hiei lay.
He was sitting up, breathing hard. "Hey, you okay?" Kurama asked. Hiei nodded. "I just wasn't ready." he whispered. "Ready for what?" "All of those voices...coming into my head all at once." Hiei shook his heading, getting up. He smiled tiredly at him. "I'm okay now though." Kurama sighed. "Are you sure?" He just nodded again, walking to where Kuwabara was standing. "Oh, right! Hiei, this is my friend Kuwabara, Kazuma." Hiei looked at him blankly.
"Whatcha lookin at, Shrimp?" Kuwabara demanded, getting annoyed. "I'd like to know that myself." Hiei snapped. Kurama sighed. Great, he had to deal with Hiei's darker side. Wasn't he lucky? "Please children, no fighting." Kurama said, getting in between them. They both glared at each other. "Now, Hiei, you're schedule's the same as mine so I'll take you to your first class." Kurama offered. Hiei nodded, not taking his eyes off Kuwabara.
They walked down the hall. Kurama stopped at a door. "This is it. Class B7." Kurama said, going inside. Hiei followed indifferently, looking around. "Ah, Mr. Minamino. I was thinking you'd left us." an eerie voice came. Kurama stiffened, thinking along the lines of, 'Oh shit,' "This must be the new student." "Yes, Karasu. It is." Kurama said as calmly as he could. He saw Karasu eyeing Hiei. "Welcome to my class, Hiei." he greeted. Hiei glared death at him.
Kurama had never seen such a -death-promising glare before. Karasu just stared a moment before walking away. Kurama sighed in relief. "Come on, Hiei. Let's sit down." he whispered. "Not so fast, Kurama. Class," Karasu got everyone's attention. "We have a new student. This is Mr. Hiei Minamino, Kurama's adopted brother." Everyone stared at Hiei.
"You've got to be fucking kidding me!" Yusuke yelled, jumping up. Hiei glared at him. "Kurama, you can't bring that thing in here!" the boy yelled. Kurama glared at him also. "He's not a 'thing' he's a person, Yusuke. Best that you remember that." Kurama said coldly. Yusuke looked between the two and nodded.
