DISCLAIMERS- NOT MINE

"Hey, Hiei wait for me?" Yu shouts about forty paces behind me. Unfortunately I am a bastard so I keep walking, but I am a bastard with a heart so I do slow down, a bit. She is running with a cello and its case, which almost outranks her in both height and weight. .

"Hiei" she pants out of breath, "didn't", big gasp, "you hear," wheeze, "me calling you?"

"Hn, I see you caught up." My, she is fast I note mentally commending her on her speed

"You are impossible." She fumes.

I drape my arm over her shoulder lovingly and say, "And that is why you love me."

She picks up my wrist as if it is a pair of ten-day-old heavily used gym shorts and drops it from around her neck. "Who says I love you?"

I assume my look of shock and broken heartedness was not convincing enough because her immediate response was an upright middle finger.

"I am quite surprise to actually see you by yourself, usually your pet is bounding happily behind you."

"Bitter much." She blows a dismissing sigh. "Dear, dear sister no one will ever take your place in my heart." I bow graciously to her holding her hand in my own, "For I your devoted brother shall always consider you the ethereal star in my bleak and hapless life." Kissing the back of her hand and clutching it tightly to my chest, "My soul would dissolve into nothingness at the mere thought of ……."

"Asshole" She giggles while snatching her hand away. "Oh, guess what Hiei?" I don't guess. "We got a new student in class he is very quiet, but get this he has green hair." I could feel the giddiness in the air rising, "Isn't that the coolest." She chirps.

"Oh, oh oh oh oh I can't wait to meet him." I say in a flat voice still walking not noticing that she has already stopped.

"Hiei" I look over my shoulder. "Isn't your class that way?"

I wave my hand dismissing her, "Yeah yeah, I'll get there."

I stroll into class walking past my teacher. True I am roughly ten minutes late but I did make it. I would have been here a bit earlier but dragonflies are a bitch to catch.

"Thank you so much for joining us today Lord Hiei" the instructor declares bowing slightly.

I place my bag on the floor next to my desk. I bend my knees and lower my ass to the seat, the moment contact is made I look at the clock and start my mental count.

"Twenty-seven hundred, two thousand six hundred and ninety-nine." I whisper under my breath.

He turns back around to finish working on a mother of an equation and by the looks on every face no one has a clue what the possible answer might be or even how to even start figuring it out.

I watch as each student mumbles same prayer, "Dear god, please don't let him pick me."

He looks at me. Tilting his head and raising his eyebrow with a smile, a challenge I presume. I stand up to accept it with a smile dripping tauntingly from my lips.

"X equals five point seven two eight two six four three one eight and so one. However I think you might have been trying to copy the problem from the book, number fifteen to be precise, then that first two should be a seven making X equal five." I state.

I sit back down and resume my counting. "Hmm, two thousand five hundred and three."

I would just fall asleep but this teacher is somewhat entertaining. Class goes on with very little incident and my counting does continue. Ten, nine, eight…. I gather my stuff and proceed to the door. The volume of my teacher's voice rises at each forward placement of my heel and toe, until finally he slams the book down and shouts.

"Hiei, where do you think you are going young man?"

"My next class my allotted time with you is up."

My foot crosses the threshold; his lungs, teeth and tongue prepare to strike a statement or disapproval just as the lunch bell rings interrupts his thoughts and extinguishing his fire.

I am hungry to say the least yet another day with out breakfast. I really do need to get up a bit earlier. I am expecting to see the treacherous three, surprisingly I do not. I walk silently and rather swiftly to an empty table and like sick clock work Yusuke stands up and notices me in the sea of taller students.

"Yo, Hiei over here." The hawk eyed young bellows

"Hiei, Hiei, Hiei." Kuwabara not only shouts but also decides that standing on a chair waving his arms about like a deranged monkey is going to make me want to run over to them quicker.

I drop my head in both embarrassment and defeat of having a quiet lunch and drag my whooped ass to the table. I sit in my assigned seat. The four of us sit in the last section of the far right hand table. I sit in the last seat against the wall. Kurama sits next to me. Directly across from me is Yusuke who presently has an 'I know something you don't know but I going to tell you in a minute because I want to see you squirm' smile on his face. Next to him is Kuwabara, who is getting more and more likeable of each passing day.

"Hey, Hiei" I look up at Kuwabara. "You sister is soo hot, I would love to have a date with her. Could you be a pal and introduce us?" Strike the last thought that fucker is going down to day. Just as I am about to launch my well thought out and vicious plan of attack on his jugular vein with my spork, my senses are clouded by the pleasing aroma of cinnamon and a warm touch.

"Hiei." A voice calls me. "Hiei"

"What?"

"Are you going to eat that?" I look down at my lunch to locate the 'that' he is referring to. Pick up the chocolate frosted cream fill cake and hand it to him. If he had grown a tail right then it would have been wagging. The moment he opens the treat I almost regret giving it to him or at least I regret having to watch him eat it or at least having to watch him eat it in a crowded room.

"Tasty" he says sucking the tip of his thumb with a smack.

He tidies up his trash heads off the bathroom to brush his teeth. Kuwabara leaves as well leaving a great deal of mess behind despite the fact He actually attempted to clean up after him self.

"Yes" I coldly say to Yususke who still has that look on his face.

"So that rumor is true, and here I was thinking all this time you were just playing hard to get." He leans in closer; "Exactly what did happen n the bathhouse last Tuesday?"

If I had a mouthful of food at this moment I would have been choking.

"Uhhh" I stutter in hopes some reasonable answer would come. I close my eyes and let you mouth lead me, down the wrong freaking path I might add. "Nothing happen I just went there to rest and when as I was leaving I saw Kuarma taking a shower so I stayed and talked with him I wasn't really looking at him plus he was at least five to seven feet away from me so it is not like I could touch him. Even if wanted to" I pause and quickly add, "Which I most defiantly did not."

"Man, what are you rattling on about, I speaking on the whole Itsuki incident."

"Who?"

"No one important." A voice says from behind me.

"Aw come on Kurama what a little fun amongst friends." Before Uremeshi could even complete his trademark full fledge smirk Kurama was at his throat.

"That green haired fuck is not a friend." The red head seethes, "or have you forgotten whom he is dating."

"I am sorry Kurama; I thought that was all in the past."

Kurama's arms drop down to his sides as he lowers him self on to the chair, "It is in the past but some things are a bit harder to let go of." "Is it true?"

I know he is talking to me. I now know of what he is referring to. I can even feel the sadness in his eyes without even looking into them.

I stand up grab my trash and coldly say, "Think what you wish this no longer concerns me." I walk out of the cafeteria.

Like I said before unfortunately I am a bastard.
