Hiei was tempted to probe their minds, but decided against it. He felt much too great to stoop down to such a level to reading a human such as Kuwabara's mind.
"You sure?" Kurama asked Yusuke. He nodded.
"Koenma assigned us to begin school at Florenda High tomorrow," began Yusuke, "but before first period, we're going to pick out a girl in our grade. You've got a week to get the girl to like you. Like like you. If you don't succeed, Kuwabara will be informed about your sister." Kuwabara was about to comment, but rejected it.
"So you're blackmailing me," glared Hiei.
Yusuke smirked. "I guess it must be the demon in me," he said simply, still grinning.
"Looks like you've got yourself a bet, Urameshi," Hiei said. "Now leave me alone so I can get some rest."
Kuragari Taoreru was fifteen years old. She was one of the most-liked girls in Florenda High. She had dark brown hair with black highlights; dark, almost black, brown eyes. Her hair was layered and stopped just below her shoulders. Her skin was tan, and she was about average in height.
Not only was her physical appearance fantastic, but she was very intelligent and athletic. Even the girl's social skills seemed flawless. She was part of the debate club, drama club, tennis team, volleyball team, soccer team, and cheerleading squad. It was as if everyone knew everything about this girl.
But that was far from the truth. Kuragari had a secret- she was a half demon with the powers of both light and dark. Like Yusuke, her demon nature originated over many generations. Kuragari had the power to read minds and, with some concentration, could run almost as fast as Hiei.
Ever since her parents found out about her secret, they'd been training her in any way possible to help her gain control of her powers. That was one of the reasons why she was enrolled in so many school activities. After her practices and school were over, she would go home where she had yoga, tie kwon doe, and swordsmanship training. Some girls would have been exhausted from all of the work, but for Kuragari, it was simply routine.
Today was like any other, Tuesday. Kuragari thought about what she had to do for the day- cheerleading. She loved Tuesdays the most because they gave her the most free time. During that time she would either hang out with her friends, IM, or train more.
One thing was new for Florenda High. Here, gossip spread like a virus. It was so fast that almost everyone was soon well aware that there were four new boys joining today.
"Are you ready for school sweety?" Mrs. Taoreru asked her daughter.
"Yes mother. Ready as always," Kuragari replied. She got into her car and drove off to school.
Kuragari wondered what the new boys would be like. 'Maybe they're in some of my classes,' she thought to herself. 'I mean, they've been to Japan, so they're probably pretty interesting.'
"Hey! Hiei! Get out of bed!" Yusuke yelled from the other side of Hiei's room. "We're going to be late for that school Koenma assigned us to!" He continued to run through the house, waking up the others and trying to grab everything together.
"What's the deal Urameshi?" Kuwabara yawned. "You're not really the kind of person to be in a rush to get to school, you know."
Yusuke glared at him. "Well… someone dared me to get to every class on time today," Yusuke said, reminding Kuwabara of his own dare, which he chose to put off. "Besides, we've got to pick someone out for Hiei."
"Oh yeah! I forgot!" said Kuwabara, getting out of bed. "Off to school we go then, I guess."
AN: Please tell me what you think. Trust me, things will get much more interesting soon!
