Hello everybody! I want to thank those who reviewed my story, it was greatly appreciated; truly it was. So far nobody wants it to be yaoi, I'll tally up the votes soon (Maybe by the next chapter), but it looks more like a non-yaoi story to me. I'm thinking about having some outside readers to read my updates before they're posted. Every time I post a chapter, there is always some sort of mistake sigh. Please do reply for I am unsure of the progress of my story. Keep on voting, I want your opinions. Well, here's the story.

Chapter 2: A Start

(Kuronue's Point of View )

I threw myself against my old bed at my new home in Tokyo. I looked around as I took in the new surroundings. My mother had found a decent home and moved our furniture ahead of time before we even set foot in the plane.

I had a slightly larger room, but that did not matter to me. All that occupied my mind was finding Yoko. I didn't have much information about him. Only that he had appeared at a tournament, the dark tournament if I recall. That wasn't enough; it frustrates me how little weak apparitions know from where I come from. I guess I'll have to do it myself.

I pick myself up from bed as I walk towards my window. It was morning right now, the day was new and it welcomed me with open hands. I open the window hastily and stared out at the beauty our front lawn contained. We owned a large healthy green lawn that was filled with trees and many flowers. 'Yoko would have loved this,' I think to myself as a faint smile crosses my face.

I close the window and look towards my door.

"Now, where to start. I can start questioning those who might know, but that may be too risky for I want a low profile. Perhaps one of the fighters who fought in this tournament could prove to be helpful. If my memory serves right I recall one name that they knew all too well…Yusuke Urameshi," I said quietly to myself.

I grinned lightly. "Yes, Urameshi will prove helpful."

My head budges up when I hear a delicate knock on my door. "You may come in mother," I say loudly enough so that she may hear.

She opens the door carrying clothing that looked like magenta uniforms. I raised an eyebrow over at her. She gave me an amused smile in return.

"It's your new school uniform, Kisho. I enrolled you into this well known school that I'm sure you'll approve of," she said knowingly as she handled me my new school uniforms.

I growled as I held one of them up. "The male population wears this in that school, what idiot would want ningen males to wear this pathetic clothing," I said annoyingly.

My eyes widened slightly once I noticed whom I was speaking to. I usually showed politeness towards my ningen mother. As for everybody else, I showed the personality identified as Kuronue's, my true self.

I looked up at my mother; she had a warm smile across her face with her eyes closed peacefully. Sometimes I really wondered about her, she could be so calm that it made me feel timid.

"Gomen mother, I didn't mean to speak rudely," I lie. I did mean it, I gave my honest opinion; I just gave it to the wrong person.

"It's quite alright darling," she said nicely. "Breakfast is late, but ready nonetheless, come down stairs when you're ready. Tomorrow you shall attend school."

I nod slowly before she leaves my room. As soon as the door closes I let myself fall on the bed lightly.

We had just arrived today early in the morning and we've only been three hours here in our new home. All our furniture had been set; all we had to do was move in our personal processions.

I picked myself up and headed towards the kitchen for I was starving. I walked up into the kitchen and greeted my ningen brother. I sat down and began to eat. Today my mother cooked American food, pancakes.

As soon as I finished I left my dishes at the sink, it was Haruko's turn to wash. I grinned inwardly to myself. 'He can be so forgetful sometimes,' I say amusedly to myself.

Before he could remember who's turn it really was to wash I called out to my mother. "I'm going for a walk, I want to get to know the city better," I lie again for the second time this day.

"Okay Kisho, be careful," I hear my mother call out from the living room.

I open the front door and rapidly walk out as soon as my ningen brother started walking up to me with a frown upon his face. "You damn," is all I got to hear before I dashed out running outside.

"Now the investigating begins," I say to myself as I ran.

(Kurama's Point of View )

I walked down the hallway towards the school office. The principle had called me up for reasons unknown to me. I open the door gently and enter the office gracefully.

A middle-aged woman looked up at me. "Ah, Minamino, you're here. The principle awaits you. Go to his office, you do know where it is, right?"

I smile sweetly at her. "Yes, no need for guidance. I shall head to his office right now," I say reassuringly without giving out a tint of annoyance. It annoyed me that she always asked the same question every time I came. She wasn't new and she was always present every single time I came to the principle's office or the office, for that matter.

She smiles brightly at me as she nods in approval. I nodded and left hurriedly before my face could dare to disobey me.

I go towards the office I've been in so many times. Not for wrong doings of course, but for the many achievements I've done during my time here.

I stand by the principle's opened door and knock for his permission in entering. I see him look up and stop at his doings.

"Shuuichi, you're here. How have you been?" he asked in an all-cheerful voice.

"Hello Mr. Nokoru. I've been doing fine," I say.

"Well, that's good to hear. How are you're grades?"

"All is going excellent," I said as I looked at him, waiting for him to get to the real reason for calling this visit. It was the end of the school day and I desperately wanted to head home.

"I'm glad to hear that," he said as he chuckled lightly.

"Is there a favor of which you wish to ask me?" I ask with slight impatience, but he missed it, much to my relief.

"Ah, yes, there is a reason why I called you up this pleasant afternoon. Tomorrow a new student will be attending this school. He comes from a different city in Japan and doesn't know much about Tokyo. It would be nice if you were to show him around the campus and to his classes. I would have had the school secretary do it, but she won't be here tomorrow morning.

I growled inwardly. Today wasn't all that pleasant and to make things worse, it's the beginning of fall. Many of the plants are dying and the trees are loosing that pleasing energy they emit during such lovely times. It affects me dearly and makes me feel like I'm missing an important piece of my soul.

"Of course," I manage to say. "I shall come early tomorrow and give a tour of the campus to the new student."

"Splendid! I thank you so much; it is greatly appreciated. Come tomorrow early so that I may hand you a schedule of his and some basic information," he says loudly in relief. I wince as my sensitive ears catch the booming effects.

"Would you like to chat and have a drink?" he asks.

I smile in appreciation. "No thank you, I have to be going now. My mother will be awaiting my arrival for we have an important meeting to be present at," I lie all too easily. My mother was still in work and wouldn't be home till later at night. I had no desire to stay longer in the school than I had to. I wished to go home and spend my time in solitude for the day.

He nods. "Yes, you should set off towards your home. Sorry if I held you here for too long," he apologized.

"No, its quite alright," I say as I wave my goodbye and depart from the room. I walk out of the office and school speedily. I needed to go home and fast. I skipped into a slow jog to warm and prepare my muscles and then sprinted into a slightly non-human speed.

As soon as I reached my designated area, I put in my hand into my pocket in search for the house keys. Upon reaching them I insert them into the keyhole and quickly open the door. I slip off my shoes in the doorway entrance and set my book bag beside it.

I went into the kitchen and served myself a glass of cold water. Sitting down at the table, I drink it peacefully and rest from the day's activities.

Upon finishing it I left it in the sink to wash later. I had no desire to wash it at the moment, very uncharacterized of me, but the uncomfortable sensation kept on pestering me.

I walked up the stairs, turned the corner and rested my hand on the doorknob for a brief second before turning it fully. Once entering my room, I take off my magenta coat and laid it on one of my chairs. I walked over to my bed and fell upon it gracefully. My eyes closed peacefully as I took in a deep breath.

One of my eyes opened slowly when I felt youki near by. There by the window was a short, dark, haired demon entering my room.

"Hello Hiei, what brings you here on this wonderful day?" I ask with a bright tone of voice as I closed my eyes once again.

"Hn. You're act doesn't fool me, fox."

I pick myself up from my comfortable bed. "Perhaps, but is it a act or more of a guise?" I ask cleverly.

Hiei looks at me with annoyance evident on his features. "Hn. Is the season not to your liking," he said with a small grin.

I frowned. "It is true that I don't have a fondness for the current season, but nevertheless, it isn't what occupies my mind," I lie about the second part. I wasn't going to give Hiei the opportunity to mock me of my weakness. The current season was giving me an unpleasant sensation of loss. I couldn't get it off of my mind and it was persistent on keeping a strong hold.

"I have a hunch that something important is going to occur some time soon," I say in hope of leading the conversation awry from my drawback.

Hiei looks at me curiously. "Is that so?"

"Yes, and I've learned to always trust my instincts."

"You should get some rest, fox; you're pale," he says in a low voice.

I frown lightly. "Yes, maybe I should," I say, not all that keen about the idea.

"Listen to advice when its given to you," Hiei said before he walked towards the window and flitted off.

I walked over to the window and stared out. I bent down and kneeled on the floor as I gazed outside. 'Something is going to happen, but what will it be?'

I lifted myself up and closed the window shut. Perhaps I should get some sleep, it'll take my mind off things.

I walked over to my bed and got on top of it, soon I drifted into sleep.

To Be Continued…
Well, that was the end of that chapter. I hope you all enjoyed it. It was kind of a worthless chapter, just extra information, but oh well. I hope it wasn't too boring O.O. Sorry this chapter is a bit short, but I had so much to do this weekend. I don't think I'll update soon for I'm already going into finals ., not looking forward to that, but I'll still try to update, okay. If there are any mistakes or improvements that I need, please do tell me, it won't offend me in any way. Please do Review!
