1Now we find out some of the past...
"Hiei... what do you–?" Zukume asked just as he chose to disappear. "Hiei!"
He couldn't face her, all of her questions. Some he wouldn't answer, others he couldn't even if he wanted to. One of those were why he had to go to school with the others. Quite frankly, he didn't give a damn about ningen education but it was either go or stay with Koenma and Botan and risk suffering insanity due to the grim reaper's constant gossip. He preferred to go to school. But he would have rather just stayed away from them all.
Zukume stared after Hiei as thoughts of when he first came to her school flooded into her mind.
FLASH BACK
Zukume was talking to some friends, trying to teach them the difference between diffusion and osmosis. Suddenly, Kurama came into the school court yard followed by Yusuke and Kuwabara... who was fighting with a new boy with spiky black hair and a white star burst. His deep crimson eyes seemed to glare holes into Kuwabara's head.
"Hi Kurama, Yusuke, Kuwabara... who is he?" she asked, waving and catching up to them with a smile.
Kurama smiled back and replied politely, "His name is Hiei Jaganshi. He just transferred here and isn't at all excited... he's used to being, um, home schooled."
"Oh... well, I hope you stay! This place isn't as bad as a lot of other schools around here. Plus, there are a lot of students that are friendly. I'm sure you'll make many friends, starting with me. My name is Zukume Murikami. It's nice to meet you," she said, holding her hand out to shake his.
Hiei 'hn'ed and shook her hand briefly before walking away from the group.
Yusuke said laughing, "Nice guy, isn't he?"
"He seems nice... he will make a good friend!" Zukume agreed smiling at the cocky youth.
END FLASH BACK
'I need to go see Kurama...' Zukume thought, rushing toward the nearest phone booth to look up the address.
