Demonic Monsters

Chapter 2

I Hate Teenagers

Hiei was sitting in his room thinking about what he did to deserve being forced into going to school. Of course he knew he did a lot of bad things, but it was all justified to him. So he knew he didn't do anything without a purpose, but why did he have to put up with worthless teenagers.

He was brought out of his thoughts with a knock on his door, "Hiei, my friends are here so we can go to the maul."

'Great, and I thought my life couldn't get any worse,' he thought to himself. Making his way over to the door he opened it saying, "fine, but as I said, I wear what i wear so if you hope to change that, you will lose."

When he had the door fully opened, he saw five other teenage girls as well as two teenage boys with her. The girls were what appeared to be a Frankenstein's monster, a mummy, a werewolf, a zombie, and was that a humanoid dragon. The two boys were a werewolf, possibly related to the female werewolf, but Hiei didn't care. As well as a boy with snakes for hair, he briefly wondered what he would do if he were to cut them off.

"Hiei, these are my ghoul-friends Frankie, Cleo, Clawdeen, Ghoulia, and Jinafire," Draculaura introduced. "And this is Deuce and Clawd, and everyone, this is Hiei, my younger brother."

"Hi," Frankie said.

"Pleasure for you to meet me," Cleo had said.

"How you doing," Clawdeen said.

The zombie made moans and grunts as a greeting, not that Hiei cared how she spoke.

"It is a pleasure to meet you," Jinafire stated with a bow.

"What's up dude," Deuce said with no manners at all.

"Hi, it's nice to finally meet you, Draculaura hasn't stopped being excited about having a brother since she found out," Clawd said with an outstretched hand.

Hiei just stood there with his hands in his pockets and impassive look on his face as they greeted him. "Hn," he grunted in response to each of their greetings and when Clawd outstretched his hand for a handshake, he thought he would have some fun. "You know, to my people, an outstretched hand is a symbol for a challenge for a fight to the death, are you challenging me?"

Clawd openly cringed and backed away from the man with his arms in defensive positions, "look man I am sorry I didn't know, I don't want a fight."

Hiei couldn't help the smirk that was plastered on his lips from the werewolf's timidness at his fun. "Hiei, that is not a nice trick to play on my Clawd," Draculaura scolded Hiei in a big sister way.

"So, this is your Clawd is it, and how did you know that wasn't the case, for all you know it could have been," he said with his smirk.

"Hina told all kinds of cultures in demon world and never said anything about a handshake being a challenge for a deathmatch," she said a little smugly.

"So, they know I am a demon, that makes this much less exciting, I had planned on messing with you some," Hiei said as he started to walk away.

The others followed him until they were out of the house and got into a long car. Hiei was reluctant to, since his speed was much faster and he didn't trust the vehicle. He did though, but only because he needed to keep tabs on these people, and make sure his sister 'that felt strange,' didn't reveal anything he didn't want them to know.

"Is it just me, or is he a little cute," he heard the she wolf whisper to her dragon friend.

"You do know that in the old legends of my people, demons were known to have very excellent hearing," the dragon commented making the she wolf blush.

"So, dude, what do you think of New Salem so far," Deuce asked the demon.

"Insignificant," was what Hiei's response was.

"Uh, care to elaborate on that dude," the gorgon said.

"It is one small town, on a small planet, in a big universe, and therefore it is insignificant," he responded.

"Dude has anyone ever told you that you are a major downer," Deuce asked rhetorically.

"Not since I skinned the last demon that told me that alive," Hiei said as everyone stopped what they were doing to look at him. He just sat there with a impassive look on his face until he notice their stares and lied to them, "it was a joke."

"You do know that isn't a very funny joke do you," the one known as Cleo asked.

"That joke would have been funny if I was in demon world," he commented as he felt it would be more trouble than telling them he actually did have to do that at one point. He didn't feel like having a philosophical debate with children.

They soon arrived at this maul and Hiei found it to be pointlessly huge and had no real value to him. "So, where are we going first to get him out of those awful clothes," he heard Cleo remark from behind him.

He looked back and sent a look to Draculaura telling her to tell her friend to shut it. So she did, "actually, Hiei prefers his style than anything else so we are here only to see if they have it in stock or at all."

Everyone looked back to her stunned that she would allow that, and she could actually feel their minds racing over what she said. "No, we will need to change that look and you know this above everyone else," Cleo pushed as she made her way to Hiei and pulling him into the Maul with everyone following suit.

'Don't be mad at me, don't be mad at me,' Draculaura mentally said over and over again until Hiei couldn't take it anymore.

'I am not mad at you, but I will not let them dress me up either,' he told her through telepathy almost making her jump.

Cleo walked to every store and when she thought she found clothes that would good on him, he disappeared and wasn't found until they spotted him on the rafters taking a nap. The boys were looking amused at the display, mainly because it was not them in the predicament. The girls on the other hand were chasing Hiei down trying to get him to at least try on something other than his cloak.

As he was running away from the girls, he passed a store that he knew was not from this world. A demon store, in a maul of all places, now he had to see what was in there. The caught up to him just as he entered the store, and so they followed him in. The store reminded him of home, the smell was of blood, the sight was cold and rotten, and he loved it. He found the clothing section just as the girls entered the store and plugged their noses from the smell. "This is the shop I will shop from," he stated to them.

The ghouls were all forced to leave because of the smell, so they left Hiei in their to shop for himself. He came out with ten bags in total with a smirk that said, 'I win.' They was going to ask what was in the bags, but than Draculaura shot them a pleading look telling them to drop it.

"Is this all that we came here to do," Hiei asked out loud.

"Well, I thought we all could go out and find something to eat at the local food court," the green one said. Everyone else agreed while Hiei just grunted to signify that he heard her, but that was it. They made their way to the food court and got various foods from the concession. "Aren't you going to eat anything Hiei," Frankie asked the demon that had nothing in front of him.

Hiei couldn't help himself from having more fun like he did with wolf boy earlier, "sure, as soon as I find which human looks good enough to eat."

Hearing the comment made the whole group stop, except for Draculaura who was about to scold him, "Hiei, you don't have to joke with them that much."

"Wait, he was making another bad joke," Clawd said uncertain.

"Yes and no, demons usually do eat humans, human souls to be specific, but with Hiei being a half vampire, he can eat anything really," she said plainly.

"Wait, how do souls taste," Clawdeen asked the demon.

"They taste good to us demons, but to anyone else who isn't one would find the taste too bitter to eat," the demon said.

"So, are you hungry or not, you never did answer the question," Cleo asked annoyed.

"I a hungry, but I don't require nourishment at this time," Hiei said sternly.

"Wait, if you are hungry, why aren't you eating," Clawd asked worried for her friend's brother.

"I will answer in this way than, I want the food, but at this time I don't need the food," he said slowly so they could understand his logic.

They still didn't get it from the looks on their faces, only his sister could explain it to them, "he does what he needs as a way to focus on training to gain power and strength."

The looks of understanding was written on their faces, 'they understood that but not my explanation.'

"So, you are an athlete than," Clawd asked with a smirk. If he could get a demon on his scream team, then they could win every game without a single loss.

"I am a warrior, I do not do pathetic human sports," Hiei scoffed.

"It looks like someone is all rainbows and kittens," a voice came from behind the group. Turning around they saw three cat girls, one was orange, another was gray and white haired, the other was gray and black haired. "Well, well, I didn't realize you were cute," the orange haired one said with sly cast eyes.

"What do you want Toralei," Draculaura said with venom, Hiei was actually impressed that someone like her could have venom in her voice.

"I heard that you had a baby brother and I got curious," Toralei said.

"I didn't think he would be this cute though," the black headed one said.

"That is true Purrsephone my sister," the white headed one said.

"The one you two are referring to is a demon, so you know you can't have him," Toralei said. They pouted a little because they did think he was cute, "I don't know who you are but I run the school."

"I don't care, you are just another worthless fool to me," Hiei said bluntly. "I do not care if you consider yourself as a queen bee, if you cannot show me your power, I have no reason to listen to you."

"Wait what does he mean by that, because I was close to telling him the same thing," Cleo asked Draculaura.

"If you wish to have his respect, you need to be able to challenge him in combat," Draculaura said.

"You can't hit a girl, that is not cool dude," Deuce commented.

"A true warrior does not care what the gender is, only that they fight," Jinafire said.

"Do you wish to fight me to earn respect, or do you wish to leave us in peace before I just cut your head off and burn you to a crisp," Hiei said tiredly.

Toralei didn't say anything she just left and walked away from them, the ghouls were shocked while the dudes were looking at him like he was crazy. "I don't think you should have done that man," Clawd said.

"Why not, if she was annoying than I see no reason to tolerate her presence any more than needed," he said rationally.

"Because, chicks are hormonal at times man, and she will get revenge on you, it is only a matter of time," Deuce whispered to him so the other ghouls didn't hear.

"You know that I can hear what you just said right," Clawdeen said.

"If she wants revenge than she needs to train for it," Hiei said coldly.

Everyone remained silent until they were done eating and left the maul for home, or current residence for Hiei's case. The ghouls talked about various mundane things while the guys talked about this scream team they were on. "Do you guys want to go to the boovies tonight," Draculaura asked bringing him out of his thoughts.

Everyone else just agreed and talked about what boovie they wanted to see, until they got to him, and asked him what boovie he wished to see. "I don't care," he told them in an irritated tone, and added mentally 'I Hate Teenagers.'
