Chapter 3

Thanks to everyone who read my story. Keep in mind, every five reviews I write a new chapter.

"Kasaan." Kurama called from atop the stairs. "We're coming down."

"All right Suuichi." Shiori called back as she plopped a full plate of pancakes onto the table right when Hiei, Kurama, and Karu stepped into the room. "Oh dear, Karu honey, would you mind if I did your hair before you left for school?"

Karu gave a passing glance to Kurama, whom nodded at her. She put on a flashing fake smile and nodded happily. "No ma'am, I wouldn't mind."

Shiori chirped with happiness as she grabbed Karu's arm and rushed her and pulled her into the bathroom. "My dear, you have such beautiful hair. Now let's see what we can to with it." She picked up the brush and worked with it as much as possible; than she pulled it back, curled it, and combed it out. "Now let's add a bit of make-up and you'll be set."

"Make-up?"

"Oh don't worry dear. It won't hurt you. Now hold still and do as I say." She applied eye shadow, eyeliner, mascara, and lipstick while Karu was bewildered at what was happening to her. "Ok, all done, now lets get you something to eat before you go."

Karu walked from the bathroom and back into the kitchen only to see Hiei devouring every pancake in his wake, and Kurama telling him to slow down. "Hiei, can I at least have one?" Karu asked simply as she sat down, only to get stared at in complete shock the next minute by both demons. "What?!"

"Uhh Kasaan, she was already pretty. Why'd you have to turn it up a notch?" Kurama asked as he tore his gaze away from Karu to stare at his mother.

"What? She is a very pretty girl. I thought I would give her something to make her look radiant, that's all."

Karu saw a bowl full of fruit in the middle of the table a grabbed one. "Botan's here." She whispered to Kurama. She picked up her bad, shoved the apple in her mouth, and made a bolt for the door. "Thank you!"

Hiei, Kurama, and Shiori watch her run from the house out the back door. A few seconds later the doorbell rang. "I'll get it." Shiori said cheerfully. "Oh go see if Karu knows she ran out the back door."

"Yes Kasaan." Kurama stood up and went out back, to find Karu sitting in one of the trees, munching on her apple. "I see that you knew where you were going?"

"Of course." She replied, cocking her head to a side. "Where's that chirpy little bitch, the ones who's so energetic, Botan."

"In the living room with my mother and Hiei."

"No she isn't, she in the kitchen, with Yusuke and Kuwabara." Hiei replied as he stepped into view. "How did you know she was coming cat? Even I didn't sense her."

"You might call it and old habit. That's how I was able to avoid her all the time, she just has that certain feel. Is makes me sick." She replied and she finished her apple, crushing the core in her hand, revealing the seeds hidden inside. "Hey fox, you want these?" She asked, holding them up.

"Just toss them down, let's get to school. You don't want to make a bad impression on your first day."

Karu jumped from the tree and landed with grace on the ground below. "Let get going then."

They walked through the house, gathering the others, Kurama kiss his mother goodbye, and all made their trek to school At school Botan ran over to Kayko and a bunch of other girls, while Karu stayed close to Kurama and Yusuke. "Karu, over here, come meet some people I think you'll like."

Karu let a small growl rumble in her throat as she saw Botan come back to get her away from the guys. One thing she noticed was that the girls were on one side while the guys were watching them from the other. "Fine, fine, I'm coming." She grumbled as she was literally dragged to where the others were standing.

"Everyone, Meet Karu…." She looked at the Neko next to her, who was glaring viciously, which sent a chill down her back. She went next to her ear. "You need a last name Karu." She whispered simply.

Karu's eyes got really wide, she didn't know what to say. There was no way she could tell them her last name, and she didn't know what Koenma put down for hers in school. "Uhh Botan, I don't know what it is..." She whispered, which was barely audible if Botan hadn't been paying attention.

"WHAT?!" Botan screamed as she looked at the ashamed look on Karu's face. "How could you not know? What's your name?"

"Uh, I could make one up I guess."

"Well hurry up, you're getting some suspicious looks." Botan hushed as she looked around.

"I'll be right back." Kurama said as he, Hiei, and Yusuke made their way over to where Karu and Botan were standing. "Hey Karu, you ok?"

She grabbed their uniforms and pulled them off into a corner. "I don't know my name you guys. What's my last name?"

Yusuke fell over with laughter, and Karu gave him the deadliest glare ever, god, if looks could kill this boy would be dead ten times over. "You're name is Karu Kujaki." Kurama answered swiftly. "Uhh Yusuke? Do you know them?"

Yusuke followed Kurama's finger from the floor and saw a pack of goons, twelve at the most, staring at him and Karu, eyes glinting. "No, but I see that they have a thing for Karu from the looks of it."

"Touch me and they die!" Karu growled as she looked from her group to the thugs. In the front of the group was a tall young man, ice blue glinting eyes, and short blonde hair. "And I think he's their leader." She said, motioning towards the blonde. "Oh Kurama! Hi." A cheery brunette piped as her and some of her friends walked by, all giggling. "Ok, shoot me please if I ever get like that." Karu said as she gagged from how the girls were acting. "I see you have a fan club Kurama."

"Yeah, I know." He sulked as he watched the girls go. "But I'm not the only one. The two new students are getting some very good looks." He said simply.

Hiei and Karu looked around, noticing finally that they were getting winks, thumbs up, and a few were blowing kisses in their direction. Karu slapped her forehead and sighed, very loudly. "It's going to be a very long day."
