Nothing too graphic, just a bit of leg, shoulders and...weeell barely concealed boobs. Come on were talking about teenagers here! I'm pretty sure all of the 16 and up know what it's like. ; )

Subject:...You are such an idiot...

Kat..sweetie. You might be a sexy lady, one hell of a partier when you get started and a good friend, but, you are an idiot. I thought it would be plain as day to not tackle a demon by yourself. Now you say somehting is wrong with the binding. Have you thought about undoing it? If something is wrong then it will be for the best that you break the binding. True, that would mean that the demon would be loose to raise hell, but we don't know what this binding will do ultimately and it's best to not risk it. Please heed my advice. Not just as a friend but as the leader of our circle. By the way, no don't start another circle. You have to be trained further before you can even think to lead a circle. Email me back.

Lisa

PS: Hey girl! It's Alex! And Marissa, oh and Serena is here too but she doesn't think it's right how we practically pushed Lisa over trying to get to the comp before she pushed 'send'. Sorry! Marissa just took hold of the keyboard, it's Alex again. How you been doing? You ok? Are there any cute boys there? Guess what? We kicked Jack's

Katrina laughed at the unfinished sentence. Lisa somehow managed to finally send the email while Alex was typing. She started to reply when she heard a phrase from a song that she hadn't realized had come on her Sirius radio.

Sister I see you

Dancing on the stage of memory

Sister I miss you

Katrina quickly reached over and turned off the radio. She shook her head as warm honey colored eyes with gold specks in them flashed across her vision. At one point in her life she would have listened to the song all the way through, she had even made a dance routine to it for her second year of dance class. Now however, she tried to never listen to it again, it was too close. Even with the song off, she could still hear it in her head, being sung by two female voices that were so similar to each other you wouldn't have known there were two if they hadn't sung it in an echo-like style.

She shuffled through her cd's, the ones that weren't compiled, and popped in Rammstein's Sehnsucht cd into her sound system, turning up the bass and volume. She was thankfull as the pounding music came on, drowning out the repeating song in her head.

Hiei covered his ears for a few seconds when he heard hard music come from outside of the girl's open window. He glared as he dropped low enough in the trees to see the girl typing while bobbing her head to the beat. He listened to the words, if you could call them words, and realized that they didn't sound like the words she used to speak with in english. -Is this another language, foreign to her as well? If so, can she understand it?- he thought. He leaned closer, from this angle he could read what was on the screen. Nope. Couldn't understand it. He gave up and went back to his usual perch, sighing to himself, thinking that he should get Kurama to teach him english.

Katrina looked over her email to make sure she didn't leave anything out.

Well, sorry, though thanks for the compliments. I already tried to undo the binding. Though without the demon's knowledge, if he knew that I un did the binding, he would take off in a heart beat and I was wanting to replace the binding with a correct one but it didn't work. I did find what's wrong. The roles of master and servant switch with every command. I was first and had ordered him to come to me. Then he had ordered me to get lost, then I ordered him to...well...kiss me...don't comment...Then he ordered me to never order him to do that again, then I ordered him to don't leave me alone, and he has yet to leave me alone. Right now he's probably hiding out near my house. Then he ordered me tell him my address, then I finally did a good order, I ordered him to always truthfully answer me whenever I ask him something. He's 99 in demon years and 19 in human years. He has yet to make his order. I don't have to worry about it being sexual, I don't think he's into that, thank the gods. He doesn't seem like a totally bad guy. He did protect me when I got lost in a cave system called Demon's Door Cave. Well, I gotta go. Tell the others that I'll email them later. Bye.

Trina-Kat

Katrina yawned as she sent the email. She wondered how Lisa would react to the contents of the email. She could guess what Alex would be saying, 'Damn! She's lucky! That demon was hot, even with the green scales, and he's definately gotta be hot as a human!'. With the way she goes on about guys, it's hard to tell that she's into girls as well. More than likely Marissa and Serena would be giving the eighteen year old strange looks.

Katrina sighed and turned off the cd player and got dressed for bed, though she paused between activities to close the curtains. No telling what kind of perverts might be climbing the trees and watching the house, particularly her room.

Hiei watched her close the blinds and wondered why she thought she needed to close them to get ready for bed. No one could see inside her room on the second floor from the ground.

"Hiei, what type of demon are you?" Katrina asked the next day as they walked to her school.

"I'm not a 'demon'," was his short answer. He at least could get around this question. He was an apparition. Not the American demon or devil.

Katrina looked at him, confused. "Aren't you the one we summoned?"

"Yes."

"Then you're a demon."

"No."

Katrina gave up. "I thought you were supposed to tell me the truth!"

"Hn."

Katrina crossed her arms and huffed. "Fine, then."

After a few minutes of silence she came up with another question. "What are you going to buy with your 'master' card?"

Hiei looked at her. "My what?"

Katrina sighed. "I'm not stupid. I know you know what has happened to the binding. So what are you going to order me to do?"

"Order you to take back your orders," he said, his lips once again betraying him.

Katrina shook her head. "I don't think that is possible. But you can try."

"I order you to take back your orders."

Katrina stopped, head tilted. Then she shook her head. "Nope, no compulsion or anything. I guess you can't take back your orders."

Hiei smirked, "Then how about I order you to release me from the binding. The last time I asked it wasn't my turn."

Again Katrina paused then shook her head. "Nah, no urge or anything."

Hiei 'hn'ed angrily, turning his scowl away, thinking. -So there's a limit as to what you can order them to do. Damn.- He thought for awhile, then came up with something. "I order you to tell me what you know about my secret," he said. He had started to suspect something, and he wanted to know for sure.

"I know you're a demon masquerading around as a human and hiding as a 'friend' to Shuichi and Yusuke," she said innocently.

Hiei fell over. When he got up he was fuming. "You little bitch! I thought you had actually known my secret! That was why I didn't exactly object to this stupid binding! But no! You think my secret was about me being a 'demon'! Dammit!" He started to stalk off, but her order of never leaving her alone kicked in and he ended up walking back to her side.

Katrina looked at him oddly. "Well, then, what's your secret?" she asked.

Hiei immediately clapped his hands on his mouth, determined to not answer her, but he felt no compulsion. He smirked at her,a thought hitting him. "I won't tell."

She looked at him, stupified. "But, I ordered you to always answer me truthfully."

He shook his head. "You follow an order unless it conflicts with something else. I made a vow long ago to not tell. Others have found out, but I've threatened to kill them if they told. Your order conflicts with something that has been made long before it, so it doesn't apply."

Katrina deflated. "Damn," was all she said.

She heard the bell ring. "Damn! I'm late! Never let me be late again!" she ordered over her shoulder as she ran off.

Hiei stood for a second, trying to fight the order. He failed and soon was running beside her. -I hate this!- He cursed the ningen witchling. He paused in his running, something catching his eye. The purple and gold haze was back, looking like a spector hanging around the witchling. Suddenly the girl tripped and fell to the ground on her knees. Hiei blushed. The girl's skirt had flipped up, giving him a nice view of her black thong. He coughed and looked away as the girl squealed, sat up and pulled her skirt down again, all in one motion.

She turned around, pink in the face. "Uh..you didn't see anything did you?" she stammered.

Hiei tried hard to lie but couldn't. "Yes, I saw everything."

She squealed again and slapped him. She then turned and walked off in a huff, leaving a stunned and blushing Hiei. He then growled as the compulsion again made him follow her.

Katrina looked out the window and saw a dark shadow in the tree. She smiled and frowned at the same time. She wasn't sure what she thought about the demon. He was cute, hell, he was attractive, but he had a foul temper, and an equally foul mouth, though she didn't have a prettier mouth, she could cuss like a sailor when it came down to it. He acted like he wished she was dead, but then why did he come to save her that time, and he had seemed awfully pissed at the thought of what those creeps had been planning to do to her. He was a huge complex being of contradictions. But that was what made him even more attractive to her. She didn't know why. -Give it up Kat. You know very well you don't have good taste in guys. You should know off the bat that if he's a bad boy, he's no good.- She sighed and brought her attention back to the lecture, a lecture about things she already knew.

Hiei narrowed his eyes as he watched the witchling's face as she stared into space out the window. One moment she was smiling, then the next she was frowning, then she repeated the process. -What is she thinking about?- He wondered. He studied the girl. She was an odd ningen, in more ways than the fact that she was a witchling. She had incredible psychic abilities, telepathy, telekinesis, and strong mental shields. She was awfully brave for a wisp of a girl, barely 4' 8" and she didn't weigh more than 100 lbs, if even that much, and yet she dared to confront a 'demon' especially one of his caliber. Then there was the fact that she seemed ditzy at times and a bit clutzy. Hiei blushed again as the image of a black thong flashed before him. He shook his head and concentrated on one other thing about her. The purple and gold spector. He was sure it was a spector. It seemed like a ghost, but he doubted it was ningen. It seemed more youkai, or maybe an apparition. That led him to another puzzling fact. Her power wasn't entirely reiki, there was a hint of youki in her magic, but she wasn't a youkai or an apparition. He was positive about that. -But then again, ningens have that saying about only fools are positive.- He thought grimly. He was sure about one thing. This girl was driving him crazy, in more ways than one. He shifted uncomfortably as her amethyst gaze drifted to him.

Besides Friday the rest of the week went by without many mishaps, aside from the unusual amount of times that Hiei got a good view of Katrina's lingerie due to several clutz attacks. Hiei had started to think that she was doing them on purpose, but he had sacrificed his 'master card' and ordered her to tell him the truth about whether or not she was tripping on purpose. He didn't think much before he ordered her to do this, or else he would have made the same order she had made to him. In response to his order she truthfully said that no, she wasn't tripping on purpose and that she had started to think that maybe he was pushing her because when she tripped she felt a light pressure on her back. She then babbled on how that maybe it was a ghost or something, because sometimes when she fell asleep in class she would feel a jerk of some kind and would be woken up. Hiei had stopped listening once she had said no to his question.

After the first five times, this happened at least twice a day, one day it happend four times, he would turn his head away, trying not to look, though his male body made him do otherwise. -Damn it all. I can't belive I can be so hormonal at ninety-nine! I'm no longer a sex driven teenager!- he thought angrily Friday, sitting in the tree looking into Katrina's homeroom class. As he thought about it, he had never been a 'sex-driven teenager'. He had never thought about it, only about loot, killing and searching for his homeland and sister. After he turned ninety-six his attention had been focused on 'babysitting' the two ningen detectives for Reikai after being caught by Yusuke when he had stolen three artifacts from Reikai, then he had joined Mukuro and her army, and after that he had been working in the border patrol, training for the next Makai tournament. Now he was stuck 'babysitting' a ningen witchling, and for some reason he was now thinking like a teenager.

Katrina turned her head towards him, a thinking look in her eyes. Hiei's eyebrow twitched. -The witchling is probably plotting what she'll have me do. Damn it! How could I allow this to happen!- Katrina smiled, as if knowing that she was the reason for his discomfort and torture as he thought it. -I need to find some way out of this mess!- he thought as he got ready to leave, after the first two days he had memorized when and where she went through out the day. Now she was about to go to gym and play volleyball in the tiny shorts and loose t-shirt, one outfit that made his hormones very happy.

Katrina was showering off in the girls' locker room when the fire alarm went off. As luck would have it, the fire happened to be in their locker room and the girls had to rush out, whether or not they were properly clothed, the girls in the showers grabbed their towels and wrapped them tight around them as they fled out of the locker room. Katrina blushed and held the towel tighter as she noticed all the other students starting to come out and the boys' track team stopping to stare. She heard a boom and looked back at the locker rooms. The fire had spread to the boys' locker room and a small room that contained various school equipment for fun activities, like the helium tanks for the school festival. Katrina nearly laughed when she actually heard 'oooh's and 'aah's, she guessed they were from the two pyromaniacs in her class, both girls. She suspected that they might have caused the fire. She looked around and counted heads; all the girls had gotten out. She noticed the guys staring at them and blushed, again tightening the towel, which only managed to squish her breasts together and cause a deep valley in between them. The guys stared harder. Speaking of staring...

Hiei nearly fell out of his tree when the fire started. He had been snoozing when the alarm started to ring, it was nicely situated on the wall near where the branch he had been dozing on rubbed against the school. He about ran in, fearing for the girl for some odd reason when he felt her run out of the building. He hopped through trees to get a view of her. His eyes widened when he saw the long legs, the wet hair around her bare shoulders and the pronounced clevage barely hidden by a white towel, a nice contrast to her slightly tanned skin. She turned around, searching for something, then she whirled and stared straight at him, her sudden stop in movement lifted the edge of the towel and he was graced with the image of a bare hip. He fell to the ground, nose bleeding.

Katrina saw the demon staring straight at her. She glared and the demon fell to the ground. She doubted that it had anything to do with her glare. She smiled inside when he came back up, holding a bleeding nose. He must have fallen on it. -Serves him right for staring at me when I'm only in a towel. Pervert!- She turned back to the roaring fire that was now eating happily at the rest of the school. It had charred about a quarter of the school before the firemen could put it out. By that time the teachers had managed to scrounge up some clothing for the girls and ushered them into a house nearby that the owners had opened to the poor wet girls to change in.

When Katrina gathered her things, the fire had spared the room where the students kept their things, she thought long and hard about what she was going to say to the demon pervert. As she walked out of the school the demon was predictably waiting for her. Hiei had managed to compose himself, intent on not letting the witchling know what that little 'show' had done to him. But he had a hard time looking at her, the sight of her in the skimpy towel was still fresh on his mind and his body was rebeling at him and refused to let the image go.

They walked in silence. Finally Katrina spoke. "Hiei, what all did you see?" she asked innocently.

Hiei cringed and glared as his lips betrayed him, telling her all that he had seen.

Katrina stayed quite calm and passive, for about eight seconds, then she turned around and started to hit him with her book bag. "You damned mother fuckin' limp-dick ass-humpin' shitty PERVERT!" she screeched. After one last good hit she turned and ran off.

Hiei stood there, going over what she had shouted at him. After a few seconds he concluded that the girl could cuss like the worst youkai. He shook his head and ran after her.
