Alia- Alright chapter 4 is now here.
Kai- Hope you all like.
Rei- Okay now onto the chapter.
Alia- Here's the 4th chapter.
The Next Morning...
Aya awoke with a start, excited about her first day at Meiou High. She put on the uniform pulled her hair into a braid, grabbed her backpack and rushed out of the room, running straight into Hiei.
" Gomen-nasai, Hiei. I was in a rush." She said bowing her head slightly. He smirked.
" In a hurry? You still have an hour before you need to leave."
" So? I'm just excited is all, it'll be cool going to a human school." She said as her and Hiei walked down the hall together, Aya looked out the window and saw that it was snowing.
" It was just bright sunshine yesterday. What happened?"
" We've been having strange weather. I actually prefer the snow."
" So do I, I was born in the winter time and where my home is located it's always snowing. Speaking of which my birthday is coming up. I'm turning 16."
" Good for you." Hiei said sarcastically. Aya frowned.
" No, it's terrible. That means that I only have about two and a half years before I marry Drake. You aren't helping by being so sarcastic." And in a huff Aya stomped off, insulted by Hiei's attitude.
" Way to go Hiei. If I hadn't forgotten about that stupid marriage, she wouldn't be mad. But why do I care? Grr, this is getting out of control!" Hiei thought as he continued down the stairs to the kitchen where Aya and Kurama sat with Koenma talking about something.
" Aya, Kurama came up to me the other day and mentioned that you would be a great asset to the team." Aya lifted her head in curiosity while continuing to eat some sausage. " And I spoke with your father."
" Is he going to let me join the team?" Koenma nodded.
" But before you get too excited, there are some conditions."
" What kind of conditions?" Kurama asked. Hiei sat down next to him, just as curious.
" Your father knows that you don't really care for Drake." At this Aya mumbled something about her father taking forever to notice. " Anyway, there is a tournament coming up. Drake has his own team. If you beat his team, then you get to stay with us."
" And if we lose?" Hiei asked.
" If you lose, then right after the tournament Aya and Drake will be married and she never gets to come back and see us."
" My father can't have really said that, could he?" Aya said standing up quickly. Koenma bowed his head sadly. " No, this is all Drakes doing! When's the tournament?" Aya asked.
" 3 months. It's right after Christmas. Oh, and you'll be going home with the guys to celebrate your birthday with your friends."
" Really? At least the guys get to come with me. Trust me we'll have lots of fun." Aya said to Kurama and Hiei. Aya looked at the clock. " Kurama shouldn't we be going?"
" Yes." He said as he stood up. " Come on. See you later." He said to Hiei. Aya smiled and waved as they walked out the back door of the kitchen.
At Meiou High
" So you said that you have a human name, could you remind me of it?"
" It's Suichi. Now try to act like a human while we're here. I pulled a few strings and got it so you have all the same classes as I do. After school I have soccer practice, so if you like I can have Hiei come and get you or you can stay and watch."
" I'll stay, but is it possible to join the team?" Kurama looked surprised. " I've played soccer before. So is it possible to join your team?" Aya asked.
" I guess, I mean it is a co-ed team. Sure I'll ask the coach at practice if you can try out." Aya hugged the fox demon.
" Thank you Suichi!"
1st Period- Math (I hate Math!)
"...and that is how you do function notations. Any questions?" No one said anything, Aya was frantically taking notes like Kurama had suggested. It was worth it too, there was so much she didn't know. Aya's hand flew into the air. " Yes... Aya was it?"
" Yes ma'am. I was wondering, what is the point of the curve on the graph, and why does it have to be that specific curve?" The teacher went into another long explanation of the graph...
The bell rang and Aya walked with Kurama to their next class. " Aya I think you'll like this class. It's World History."
" I get to learn about the human's history?"
" Yes, today we're learning about the Ancient Greeks."
Skip to Lunch.(I don't remember much from that lesson)
" So Aya are you liking your first day?" Kurama asked her as they sat under an old oak tree in the school yard. There was no snow under it and they sat on the bench to save them from the cold wet ground.
" It's been fine. But why do humans have to learn so much in such a short amount of time?"
" Lesson 8- Humans live a shorter life than demons. So they have to fit so much into about 80 years of life." Aya thought about it. It did make sense. She ate her lunch quietly as did Kurama.
To Hiei and Koenma
" Hiei I know what you're trying to do and it won't work." Koenma said.
" What am I trying to do that is making you so upset?" Hiei asked angrily though he had a good idea of what it was.
" Getting close to Aya. She won't love you." Now Hiei was really mad.
" Why not! Don't I have every chance you do!"
" You don't let anyone in Hiei! Plus I know she already loves me." That hit Hiei hard. He knew that he didn't let anyone in but he had tried already with Aya, maybe there was a chance to try again.
" Really? Well, I'll have you know that I do have the ability to let people into my life. And tonight I'll be trying again." Koenma glared at Hiei.
" What do you mean?"
" That little prank she pulled on Kuwabara-"
" I knew that was your doing."
" Anyway I made a promise that I would do something nice for her and I will."
" What are you planning now?"
" You'll probably here about it from her tomorrow morning." And then Hiei left to prepare his evening with Aya.
Back to Meiou High
5th period- Language Arts
" Today class, we're going to do free write. Everyone will write a story, this is your project for Winer Break. It can be as long or as short as you want but it must be creative and no story should be like another story, understand?" Mr. Lavan, their teacher said at the end of class. Everyone nodded. The bell rang and everyone rushed out of the room, Kurama waited for Aya at the door. They met up and continued to their last class.
6th period- Study Period
" Go ahead and work on your homework or projects, and I hope everyone had something to do. You make talk if you like." Kurama and Aya sat next to each other and began to talk quietly while they worked on the math homework.
" What is story going to be about Suichi?"
" I don't know yet, what about you?"
" I'm thinking that I write a story based off our time at my castle. Use all of us as characters. Renaming a lot of us of course."
" That's a great idea. Why don't you come up with names now?" I'll be glad to help."
" Thanks Suichi. Okay so let's start with me..." Soon they had a whole list by the end of class. This is what it looked like:
List
Aya- Yukiko
Botan- Same
Yusuke- Taro
Kuwabara- Maro
Kurama- Youko
Koenma- Same
Hiei- Same
Drake- Same
Aya's friend Nikki- Same
Aya's friend Taya- Same
King Montaro- Same
Those who are keeping there name's means that they don't have the chance of being known by other students at the school. Aya couldn't wait until Monday when they left for her home. There was so much for everyone to see. Only the weekend to go.
Everyone was in the living room listening to Aya. She explained excitedly what they were going to do when they got to her home and that they could meet her friends and her father. They would also get to see the pets that she had which were totally different than that of the Ningenkai.
" Sounds cool. I'm going to go pack and shop for things that we'll need. It is in the North is it not?" Botan asked as she stood up.
" Yes it is. So prepare for the cold. I've already got what I need to go home." Botan left to get everyone's things. " I'll be in my room if anyone needs me." She got up and went up to her room. There she sat in front of her bathroom mirror brushing her hair.
" I think I'll cut my hair. And use the hair dye I bought to re color my bangs back to black." She thought as she grabbed the scissors that were nearby. She began to chop off her hair piece by piece.
Hiei walked into Aya's room a short time later to take her out for his 'kind thing to do'. He saw a light coming from the bathroom and knocked on the door. Aya opened the door. Hiei's jaw dropped, Aya's hair was much shorter than it had been when she left the living room, it now went a little above her chin and she had two little half pig tails that spiked out. her bangs matched the black of her hair.
" What do you think?" She asked stepping fully out of the bathroom in clean clothes that was a black halter top and a black school skirt and black knee-high, chunky heeled boots. Hiei quickly recomposed himself and answered.
" Why are you asking me?" He said. She scoffed.
" Well it would be great if I could have your opinion but if you don't want to give one I'll just ask Koenma." She said reaching for her bedroom doorknob. He grabbed her hand.
" It looks great." He said quickly. She smirked but so Hiei couldn't see.
" Thank you. Now there must be a reason you're here?" She asked.
" I'm here to do that 'nice' thing for you."
" Oh, right."
" So let's go." He opened the door and began to walk down the hall, hands in his pockets. She stared after him for a moment then grabbed a jean jacket and ran to catch up with him.
Alia- Hope you all liked it and I apologize for the time it took. Had a lot to think about what to do next in the story.
Kosa- It's going fine.
Rei- Yep.
Kai- Tune in until next time.
