Chapter 4

Big thanks to Natalie, Blank, Thorn, Evil Authoress, and yuki-san for their reviews. I got all five reviews in less than a day, yay. People like my story, I am so happy, oh and Natalie, I haven't read this cat assassin, is it a fanfic or is it a book or something? Well, here's chapter 4. Remember every 5 reviews are a new chap.

"So exactly Kurama, what are we supposed to do today?" Karu asked as she looked around, getting very edgy about the looks that she was getting. "How do we know when to go to these classes?"

Right than a bell echoed trough out the crowded halls. "That's how we know when to get to our classes." Kurama said, pointing up at the ceiling. "Let's go."

Karu and Hiei followed Kurama to their first class till Karu stopped dead in her tracks. "He's here. And he is very close." She said in a hushed whisper. "Very close."

"Who, Tain?" Kurama asked as he watched Karu shake slightly, like someone just put ice down her shirt. "How do you know?"

"That's what I meant…" Koenma's voice boomed and echoed in their ears. "Her special traits cam come in handy. She can sense demons and spirits with ease. She just can't pinpoint their location."

"He's too close for comfort." She whispered again, slowly starting to walk again. "So do we have any idea what his human form looks like?"

"No. But let's go, we might run into him on the way." With that, Kurama started to walk again. "All right, here's our first class, Pre cal."

"Pre Cal?" Karu asked as she looked from the door to Kurama. "What is Pre Cal?"

"A type of math." He answered as he bit back a chuckle from looking at the confused look Hiei was trying to cover up with his ever-popular emotionless mask. "Let's go."

They all walked into the classroom, Karu and Hiei following every move Kurama made, watching the girls, and some boys batting their eyes and licking their lips as they watched Kurama make his way to his seat. "All right class." A young blonde male with glasses said as he stepped behind the desk at the front of the classroom. "We have two new students today. Ms. Kujaki Karu and Mr. Kayako Hiei. Will you two please stand up?"

Hiei and Karu both slowly stood, cringing at the sight of all their peers flirting with em from their seats. "This is pathetic." Hiei grumbled as he slowly lowered himself back to his seat. Receiving a brisk 'You're telling me.'

"Ok everybody. Now settle down. Suuichi, would you please get the books needed for those two, since if I'm right, they're staying with you, are they not?"

"Yes sir." Kurama stood and got two thin black books from a nearby shelf, handing them to the two demons, whispering slightly. "Just do as I say and you'll do fine."

"Ok now class, let's get started…." For the rest of the day Karu and Hiei followed and listened to everything Kurama told them. And thankfully, made it through the day in one piece. One week later, they were still going to school and still hadn't found Tain. "Hey Urameshi! Where are those lovely friends of yours?" A tall young man bellowed as Yusuke walked down into an alley on his way home. "Those two red heads, and the spikey kid."

"Those people have names dumbass. Kurama, Karu, and Hiei." He said as he watched as the mans group came into view. "Hmm, thirteen against one, that seems barely fair."

"But what about thirteen against two Yusuke." Karu screamed as she ran into the alley and came back to back with Yusuke. "How many you want?"

"I'll take half, you take the other half."

"And what do we do about the last one left?"

"Open punching bag. Let's go!" They rushed forward and pounded on any person they could get their hands on. After a few minutes everyone but them and one more were on the ground in a bloody heap. "One more. I hold, you punch."

"Nah, first honors are yours."

"Well hey, he's gonna crash the party if he runs." Yusuke picked up a chase with the retreating leader of the group.

"Someone your height shouldn't be fighting." A husky voice whispered in Karu's ear. (I forgot to mention Karu is an inch shorter than Hiei.) "Because poison can travel faster through people whom are shorter."

She felt a sharp prick in her back, which suddenly sent a jolt of pain through her entire body. "What did you do to me?" She hissed before she fell to the ground, shaking from pain, crying out. (Like those eps where Genkai gave Yusuke the spirit wave orb)

"What is a fighter for hire doing on the spirit detective team anyway?" The voice asked simply.

"Come from the shadows!" She screamed as the pain increased ten fold.

"I am here to assassinate you for what you have done to your family. You will not survive the night."

"Karu?"

"Well, time for me to part. Hope your trip to the other side is pleasant." With that, the voice disappeared all together.

"Oh my god! Karu!" Yusuke screamed as he saw Karu's shaking and screaming body on the ground. "What happened?"

"K. Kurama, get Kura…" She passed out from the pain before she could finish.

"So will she survive that poison attack?" A young blonde, looking about Yusuke's age asked quietly.

"She shouldn't, but if she does, she'll find you faster than normal for that will heighten her senses." A man in the shadows replied huskily.

"Than I'll just have to make sure she doesn't survive than won't I." The blonde said as he watched Yusuke pick Karu up and run in the direction Kurama went earlier. "Let's go."

~_~_~_~_~_~_~

"Can you help her Kurama?" Botan asked as she watched Karu twist and turn in pain on the bed, sweating from head to toe.

"I don't know, this poison is really striking her down, if I can, she'll need a long time to recover."

'Who ever did this is going to die.' Hiei's mind hissed as he watched Karu in pain. 'She may not be a trusted partner, but she's earned my respect. Stay alive Karu, stay alive.'

Ok, lets lengthen the review number, since I get 5 so easy, lets stretch to 10, every ten, please, no throwing rotten foods, moldy articles of anythin, nothing like that k?
