Chapter three

I didn't know what to say but I sure as hell knew what to do. I booked it. I ran away from both of them , I didn't know how fast I could run down the stairs , but I went as fast as my legs would carry me. I heard their voices behind me .

" where do you think your going ?!" The dark figured man shouted

" Hiei wait!" Shuichis voice trailed after him . I had barely made it down the stairs when he appeared before me his sword drawn.

" do you think you could spy on us and get away! Do you think you can use us that easily!" He shouted and charged at me again with the sword .

" I screamed and crouched back, slamming into the stairs , my hand outstretched before me as my last line of defense.

"Die!" He yelled

I closed my eyes waiting for the end

"What are you doing ?!" The dark man shouted

I looked up to see he was tied up in a vines , struggling to break free . I saw as the more he moved the tighter the vines became .

" you bitch !" He shouted struggling against them.

As much as I was in shock I began to feel something strange, my eyes followed the vines , down his frame and leading to me. It was moving and growing from out of my palm. . I screamed again jumping from my spot and down the stairs trying desperately to pull of the vines from my hand. . The man fell to the ground with a thud still struggling with the vines wrapped around his body.

" come back here !" He shouted

"That's enough!"

I glanced behind me to see shuichi and everyone else from inside . The all stood , mouth agape. Yuske pounded down the steps " Hiei what the hell is going on!"

" shorty lost his temper that's what happened!" Kuwabara sounded as he followed down the steps next to yuske."

Suichi stood next to hiei his hand outstretched over the smaller mans body. The vines retracted disappearing into air.

I stood and stared at them dumbfounded and freaked out . I didn't stall for long as I sprinted away from them all .

I knew it! I should have stayed home .

POV change: Kurama

I stared at hiei who squirmed within the vines , his expression stained in anger . I took notice of everything that happened but couldn't believe what I saw. I still couldn't believe it even after I ran through the event over and over again in my mind. I bent forward and held my hand over the vines . I became even more suspicious that I was able to remove the vines with ease . What powers did this woman have and what type of demon was she .

" hey kurama why are you so focused for ?" Kuwabara came behind him watching the spectacle between everyone

" oh my thoughts , they are nothing I'm merely trying to make sure hiei is alright "I strained to provide assurance in my voice.

"Yeah And I guess because she's gone we can't interrogate her or anything " Kuwabara said

"Actually that isn't entirely true" hiei stated in irritation " you see kurama actually sees this woman at the human university he goes to. He even has a class with her ."

"That's great , kurama you can go and ask her what's going on , and maybe we could get some answers !" Yuske exclaimed

" your not the brightest crown in the coloring box are you kid?" Genki walked down the rest of the steps meeting them all . " if he did that than what would most likely happen is she would run away, and it seemed from what occurred she didn't mean to attack hiei . It was more impulse even surprising her ."

" lay off me grandma" yuske stated aggressively

" so what kurama should do is learn more of her powers , study what makes them appear and is it only when threatened." Genki ended

" my thoughts exactly" kurama looked toward the place she stood before running away. As the conversation between the others muffled into the background of his hearing he develop a strategy on how to obtain the information he needed .

POV change : Amelia

Screw all of this there is no way I'm going back there.

I kept thinking to myself multiple valid reasons why I would never go back to that temple and more presumably never hang out with Keiko and her friends all together. Sure it wasn't her fault the reason I almost died a few nights ago and sure I was being such an ass for ignoring all her phone calls and text messages. But I didn't want to deal with any of it . I just wanted to be left alone. I hadn't seen Shuichi in my biology one class recently and I wasn't complaining . He was just as sketchy as the little dark man and I didn't want to deal with him either . As I walked into my biology class with a gleam of hope of never seeing him again I came face to face with his gorgeous freaken face.

" Good morning Amelia " he smiled at me from his seat in the front of the class. I paused in the door way

Dammit , maybe I should ditch class today

As I was about to turn around the teacher bounded me into the room . "Ms. Brin please take your seat today is an important day, I will be assigning class partners."

I hurried to my seat glancing at shuichi who merely nodded at me as I passed .

The class began normal as usual but even though it did , I felt unnerved. I stared at the back of his red head and tried to figure out why I felt this way.

Maybe it's because he's in class today , yeah that's gotta be it…no .. maybe it's because he said hi to me and I wasn't expecting …uhhh no that's not it either .

Suddenly he turned his head briefly and gave me a small smile .

I blushed and gulped yeah that's what it is , that creepy ass smile.

I avoided looking at him the rest of the class and soon the professor dismissed us, but not before posting the partner pairings on the bulletin board. Most of the girls in the class hopped up , pushing past even some of the boys to see if they were paired with the none other than mr. minamino. However they weren't and my suspicion of who he was partnered with only grew when one girl glared at me strongly , pushing past and whispered under her breath .

I moved past all the bodies still standing in front of the paper , my short frame making it easy to move to the front. As I scrolled down the paper for my name and my partners I almost screamed in irritation .

Amelia Brin -Shuichi Minamino

That's what it said on the paper I gasped and shoved my way back out the group and face the professor .

"Ms. Amari I think you made a mistake on the partner assigned list." I stated calmly a smile on my lips.

"Oh no I did let me see" she shuffled toward the board concern coating her eyes. She analyzed it for a little bit before returning to me

" oh no I'm afraid I haven't , its actually very accurate." She gave me a look of concern before returning to stuffing her papers in her bag

" but I know in the beginning of class you said you would pair us with people we are compatible with. And I don't see how I was paired with and I haven't spoken with him at all since the beginning of class"

" oh yes well I made that decision because the both of you always keep to yourself . He sits in the front attentive , doing his work and not conversating with others . You sit In the back, dazing off into your own realm , doing your work and at times if needed conversating with others.8 I felt a two out of three for similarities wasn't a bad choice. " she grinned at me before grabbing her brown bag and moving toward the door.

"But professor I-"

"Enough please ms. Brin , it will be fine he is my top student so you won't have to worry about receiving an A for this class I assure you. But you must plan to meet with him outside of class time three times a week to prepare for the end of the year project. It will be a major part of your grade" with that she shuffled down the hall and out of the building

I sulked as I went and grabbed my purse and bag from my desk .

" good morning ms. Brin" his voice smooth reached my ears . I turned to see him standing before me In his perfect clothes with his perfect face. " it seems we will be partners for the rest of the semester"

" yeah I guess so" I stepped a little away from him and rolled my eyes .

" perhaps it would be best if exchanged phone numbers . That way we know when each of us can meet."

I groaned internally , did I really have to give this weirdo my number ?

" yeah sure , I pulled out my iPhone and prepared to enter his number . After he gave it to me I called his cell . After he saved my number he walked with me out of the class and into the hall.

" so uh when should we meet for our first meeting." I asked wanting to get away from him as soon as possible.

"Hmmm, how about tomorrow at 5 ? We can meet at my home if you like" he asked

Nice try not going to happen

" um well can I work till 6, I can take my lunch at 5. But it takes a while to travel back to the inner city , how about you meet meet me at my work?"

There was no way I was going to be alone with him in his house , and mine was defiantly out of the question , besides I didn't want to commute back to the city when my work was only five minutes down the road from my house .

" sure that will be just fine, where do you work ?"

I grumbled , not wanting to talk to him anymore " you know what I'll text you so you can remember " I said through a strained smile

" yes that does seem more efficient , however I have a good memory you can tell me now." His face was strained through a smile as well .

" uh yeah but it will be more comfortable to me if I sent it in a message , just for my sake "

"But that doesn't seem like the most logical decision" he stated through that strained smile

Did this mother trucker just call me illogical?

" it may seem so , but that is what always happens to the ones who are illogical in reason, everything to them seems illogical and logical things just go over their simple minded head like a fly over dog shit"

His smile faded and his green eyes turned sharp, agitated

We stared at each other for a minute before he nodded , exhaling he looked more irritated than before " okay I will await your message "

With that he turned and walked away

I smirked to myself as I walked to my car and drove off . My plan would work , I would text him at the last minute forgetting about the meeting and than bam! I wouldn't have to see him. Obviously I couldn't avoid him forever but maybe if he gets frustrated with my scheduled he would express his discomfort to the teacher and Want to trade partners.

I sang along to my current favorite song on the radio as I drove home.
