Chapter 2:The First Lesson
Yuske couldn't believe it; Koenma had actually done the impossible and made him have to learn how to play the piano. Yeah, right, as if he was going to actually pay attention. Luckily, Kuwabara and Hiei had to go through the torture. At least then he can have some fun with it. The first lesson was to take place right after school that day. He had a bad feeling about the whole think, but he was required.
That day of school went by so slowly. Half a dozen times, he wanted to just shoot the stupid teacher and run out of the stupid class. But, he knew that Keiko would kill him if he did so.
After school, he met up with Kurama, Kuwabara, Hiei, and Botan. They walked to the piano studio, dreading what was to await them. Well, actually, Botan wasn't quite as annoyed by the whole thing, and neither was Kurama. Apparently, Botan remembered her dream from a long time ago, and realized that at one point, she had wanted to become a professional musician. Kurama just treated the whole thing like it was normal.
Hiei was probably the worst off of the whole bunch. He wanted to just attack whoever it was that gave Koenma the information about the piano. However, he was forced by Koenma to do this, and if he disobeyed, Koenma would send Yuske after him.
When they finally arrived at the piano studio, they were met by an angry instructor. "You are late!" she screamed at them, "You were supposed to be here two minutes ago. Now, because of that, I'm keeping you here with finger exercises for an extra half an hour."
"Hey, old hag, you aren't gonna tell us what to do. Now, give us the stupid piano lessons and let's get it over with", said Yuske, angry that she was planning on keeping them longer than needed.
"Why you disrespectful brat, I'm calling the shots here. Now close your mouth before I make you close your mouth."
"What are you going to do to me? I'll tell you what, nothing. There is no way you can keep my mouth shut!"
"Yuske…" Kurama tried to calm down his friend, but to no avail. The teacher stopped him short:
"Well, I see that we have two trouble makers in this group. One more word out of either of you and I will make you practice so long that your fingers and wrists will be aching so hard due to the constant use of them."
"Yeah, as if you, a little old lady, could possibly do anything to us", blurted out Yuske. He really shouldn't have said that. Right after he did, she took out a ruler and started smacking his hands until she saw she had punished him enough. Then, she took a bandana and tied it around his mouth and made sure that he sat at the piano.
Because of the constant yelling at each other and such, next to nothing got done that day. Even after Madame Franney, which was all they were allowed to call her, extended the lesson by the half hour that she promised. The whole time, Hiei shot death glares at the teacher. She ended up teaching him a lesson by putting a bandana around his eyes and made him play the piece that she was teaching them.
Kuwabara decided at one point to open his big mouth, of course at the wrong time, and of course saying something stupid. He ended up having to play the exercises twice as much as everybody else, while wearing a "Dunce" cap.
Botan and Kurama actually enjoyed the lesson. The pieces were rather easy. They were made just to help with finding the keys and using fingering right. Botan, being the optimistic person that she was, even got an easy book to start with. Apparently, she was a fast learner. She tried to take in all of the information that she could, but the boys were yelling too much. She made a mental note to hit them over the head when they left.
Kurama, who was referred to as Suuichi by the teacher ((his human name)), also was a fast learner. He picked up the patterns rather quickly. The lesson seemed to go by rather quickly ((I'm talking about the first lesson the whole time)). It didn't seem like an hour and a half ((she added an hour)) before they all went their separate ways.
On the way home, they talked about the lessons. It was then that Botan remembered her mental note. She took out her oar and hit each of the boys, minus Kurama, so hard that they were all sure that it would leave a knot the size of a fist.
Yuske and Kuwabara decided to "put their heads together" ((which would make about three fourths of a head because Kuwabara has like a fourth of a head, and Yuske has a half)) and form a plan to get back at the evil teacher. They may have just met her, but they were sure that she was much more evil than she seemed to be, and that was already a lot.
Botan went back to Spirit World and told Koenma of the day's events. She also told him that Yuske and Kuwabara were planning a prank to play on the unsuspecting teacher that was teaching them so much. He told here that he would deal with it, and she left to go do her day job as the Grim Reaper. She just hoped that not too many people die when she is taking the lessons.
Kurama went home and told his mom that a friend of his had signed him up for piano lessons, so he would be late home every day for a while. Of course, his mom, Shiori, was perfectly fine with it.
Hiei wanted nothing but to attach the teacher in her sleep, but he knew that if he did, he would be chased down by the rest of the Reiki Tantei.
