"Experiment"

A/N: DISCLAIMER: I don't own Yu Yu Hakusho or its characters! Just my OC's.

Last Chapter: After another successful 'hunt' they went home. Much to their displeasure they had school the next day.

Next Day…

I moaned as I heard the obnoxious beeping of my alarm. I sat up, yawned, turned the alarm off, then slowly, and reluctantly walked to the bathroom to get ready for my first day of school. Oh how I dreaded this day. I, having decided I was presentable, made my way downstairs to make breakfast for us. I heard a pitter patter of feet coming down the stairs, and saw Mi-ki coming down and sniffing the air. She looked happy as she smelled the freshly made pancakes and bacon. The sizzling sound bacon seemed to soothe her. I smiled at her as I served her a plate. Having eaten, we left for school. The walk towards school was full of sighs. Neither of us wanted to go, but in order to do what we wanted to we had to. Having arrived there, we felt strange, only knowing each other. "Well this will be fun." I said sarcastically. She looked at me, sighed, and nodded. As we entered the building I ran into someone. "Oh I'm sorr-," I started, but soon stopped my sentence having noticed I ran into a boy.

"Are you okay?" He asked with a concerned look.

"I'm fine, sorry." I mumbled quietly, but in an icy tone. The boy I had just run into gave a shocked look, then smiled and walked by.

"Hey what's your name?" Mi-ki called out.

He turned around and said, "Daisuke, I'll see you two in class." He smirked, and walked away. Mi-ki gave a confused and shocked look, and then turned to me.

"What, he's obviously trying to flirt with you." I replied causing her to quirk up an eyebrow.

She rolled her eyes, "That was more asking how he knew what class we were in." She said and sighed.

"Either it's like I said and he was trying to flirt with you, or it's obvious we are in the same class because we are the two new students. I'm assuming that they already know they are getting transfer students, and he probably guessed it was us since he's never seen us before. Then again there is always the possibility it's both…" I stated in a bored tone.

"Whatever, let's get going." She said walking away, I sighed, 'guess she's right though we don't want to be late.' I thought as I followed her to our classroom.

"Now class calm down, they will be here in just a minute." We walked in and saw the teacher panicking and trying to get the class to shut up and sit like obedient dogs, which obviously, they weren't. "Oh look here they are now." She said with a relieved look on her face. We reluctantly walked in. "Now then, why don't you two introduce yourselves, and say three things of your choice about you." She smiled kindly. We looked at each other, and I reluctantly went first.

I smiled, a small kind smile, and stated my name, "Hi, I'm Katsune Matsumoto." I said warmly. Then heard a bunch of people say "KOWAII!" or, "Whoa, how pretty!" I then stated my hobbies, favorite color, and my age. "My hobbies are, drawing, reading, and singing. My favorite color is dark green, and I'm 15 years old." Then Mi-ki who just couldn't wait any longer and regretted making me go first decided that I could barley finish my sentence before she said her name and what not.

"Hi, I'm Mitsuki Amano, I'm also 15. I love to read, write, and play volley ball. And I'm single." The class burst out in laughter as she held up a victory sign, and I couldn't seem to contain mine either; it's just like her to say something like that. After the teacher finally contained herself she told us where we were sitting but stopped us before we could go anywhere.

"We will be going outside today, as you know this is science, and we will be doing some experiments outside." The class all cheered, and I couldn't help but smile a little too, I loved the outdoors. I glanced out the window to see if any other classes were out there, when some red hair caught my attention. I had turned my body all the way around to see a boy with deep green eyes and a shocking red hair color. I stared at him for a while, he seemed like the popular guy that every girl drooled over.

I rolled my eyes at that thought, 'Of course there had to be one of them.' I thought to myself and let out a sigh. I felt a stare at the back of my head, realizing it was probably Mi-ki and decided to turn around. Her gaze looked confused, but she shoved it aside and told me we should get going, I having also pushed it aside nodded, and followed her out the door.

"Hey Daisuke wasn't in class…" Mi-ki said, more to herself then me.

"Guess he was flirting with you." I stated in an annoyed tone while rolling my eyes. When we got outside we were handed some papers, a table, to write down heat of things that were either in shade or out of it, which also had directions attached to it, and lastly, a graph to show the difference in heat between the two temperatures. I raised an eyebrow, 'What on earth this is for 7th graders for the love of God, I thought we were 10th graders. I mean give me a break everyone knows that an object is going to be hotter in the sun, common sense people.' I thought looking slightly disappointed at the lame excuse of an experiment. I shrugged it off however, and chose two colors a dark green, and a pretty red. I decided the red would be for the temperature of the object when it wasn't in the shade, and the green for when it was.

Apparently we were supposed to put three different objects in the shade, and then put them in the sun, for the same amount of time. Then we would graph the temperatures we would have recorded in the table, and compare the two, the colors were for the graph, seeing as how it was a double bar graph, and once we were done with that we would write down the difference in temperature in the table. Obviously showing how the shade affects the temperature of things on a sunny day, and how depending on the item, it changes. For instance metal will be more hot than plastic. We were supposed to do this for a piece of metal, a plastic cup, and a small, thin block of wood.

I sighed and started to gather the necessary things to do the experiment. I wrote my hypothesis down, and looked up at the teacher as she started speaking, stating we would be doing this in partners. The class who had been out playing kick ball, which I assumed to be the PE class, started to come over with the teacher explaining something, I figured we would have to pair up with one of them, and much to my displeasure, Mi and I would be separated. If I could I would have done this on my own. A frown tugged at the corners of my mouth as the teacher explained what I thought might happen, dubbing it true. I sighed and waited for someone to just come over to me, I figured I would take the first person who dared to ask, so I looked around. However a dazzling red color caught my attention.

Girls were rushing over to him like the birds at a zoo did when a small piece of bread was thrown onto the ground. 'Yeah, I guessed as much, he's the popular guy.' I sighed again when green met my eyes, I could see then, he wasn't who I thought. I could tell he didn't want to be surrounded by them, and that his smile was indeed fake. Knowing this I felt somehow, happy considering I had never liked boys who had every girl and liked it. So I couldn't help myself, I just had to laugh. It wasn't my usual one though, it was a much quieter one, I was trying to hold back so no one would notice, but he looked at me with a frown on his face for a quick second, that no one else seemed to have noticed. I couldn't contain it any longer and I started laughing uncontrollably, and at my normal strength of noise, I had tears in my eyes, and I was grasping my now aching stomach.

Everyone just stared at me like I had three eyes (A/N: That was a reference to Hiei if you couldn't tell ;p), but I just couldn't stop. Little did I know however he, and the boy I ran into before had come over to me. Mi-ki nudged me and I stopped laughing, then I looked over at a frowning red head, and a smirking Daisuke. "Um…eh heh sorry…" I said awkwardly, and I felt a blush forming on my skin. 'A blush, what?! Why am I blushing?' I thought shocked. I soon noticed all the boys from the PE class came rushing over to me, and thus started the, "Will you be my partner?" From 5 billion people all at once. Finally having calmed down, and wiping away the last of my tears, I decided that I didn't know what to do, so…I did the only thing I could think of. "I don't care play rock paper scissors or something to figure it out." I then sighed as I saw the battle of luck start.

It finally got down to two people. Apparently ones name was Lavi, and the other was Daichi.

"What, you're doing this too Daichi, I thought you liked Kaho." Said a very shocked Lavi.

"Oh come on, of course, I just had to go against my best friend." Daichi sighed. I watched them with a fake smile, and the two teachers seemed to be very entertained with this little tournament for my partnership.

"Okay, ROCK PAPER SCISSORS SHOOT!" They both shouted at the same time. Lavi chose paper, and Daichi chose rock.

"Last one is best out of three by the way." I decided to chime in, just to make it last longer, I didn't want to be miserable for too long, and I couldn't keep the boredom out of my tone.

"Fine then, ROCK PAPER SCISSORS SHOOT!" It was a tie, and it kept going and going and going. I didn't notice the said red head staring at me, only this time with a smirk. I glanced over at the red head sitting on my left, who I assumed was probably still frowning from me laughing at him. But what I saw was a beautiful deep green color, and then much to my surprise a smirk too. I gave only a moment of a shocked look, then quickly averted my eyes back to the battle. Although it was only for a moment, he still noticed the shocked expression. While the battle between Lavi and Daichi was going on I couldn't help but feel… awkward, he just kept staring and smirking at me. I finally couldn't take it anymore, I was getting fidgety, and could feel my face start to warm. I turned my head to face him, this time a frown was caressing my face. I opened my mouth to speak, but was cut off by another victorious shout from Lavi. I saw him start to walk over to me, and figured he had won, and then much to my surprise-again-the red head stood up.

"Actually Lavi, you still have me to beat." The read head stated in a matter of fact tone.

"Say what, look here Shuichi, I know every girl loves you and all but that's cheating." Lavi fumed.

"Your friend over there did the same thing Lavi." He retorted, a mildly annoyed tone coming to the surface, causing Lavi to give him a short glare, then a curious look over at his friend.

Daichi laughed nervously, "Um well you see…yeah." He soon admitted. "OK fine Shuichi I guess I can win one more time." Lavi stated cockily. This time I was actually interested. I gathered the read head's name was Shuichi. In response to the cocky statement made by Lavi he just rolled his eyes and walked over the rest of the way to him. Lavi just smirked, 'What a jerk,' I thought. He had bright blue hair covering one of his eyes, while the other was a dark purple, so dark I thought it was black at first, until the sun hit it, and it gleamed purple. I watched intently as the two boys started the game. I didn't realize Mi-ki was smirking at me. I felt someone nudging my side, and looked over to find it was Mi-ki.

"Hey, do you like him? He's probably the first guy to ever make you laugh." She whispered.

I blushed at her question, "NO, what would possibly make you think I like him?" I shouted, causing everyone to look over at me. I looked down, suddenly finding the ground more interesting. I quickly looked up to find Daichi staring at me, and with my now cherry red cheeks I asked, "What are you looking at?" While shooting him a very deadly glare. He shrugged and looked towards the battle his friend was in. Then having finally got my cool back, I also averted my gaze towards the battling duo. 'What in the world is wrong with me, guess it's just from the pressure.' I thought and shrugged off my blushing issue. I watched as Shuichi and Lavi did the same thing every time. Rock, same, paper, same, scissors, same… 'Gah! This is driving me crazy!' I thought to myself.

"Hey guys, don't mean to impose but, I would kind of like to not fail this experiment, so can we hurry up a little." I said getting fidgety again, 'Oh God, what if I fail, I'm going to be killed I think my sister is coming over today!' I panicked. They both looked over at me and nodded, and then Shuichi suggested something.

"I agree, we should get started on the experiment, so instead of this endless battle of luck that's getting us nowhere, why don't you choose." He said with soft eyes and a true smile.

"That's a good idea, I guess I'll choose then…" I stated staring at him. "Well then, I choose you Shuichi." (A/N: I CHOOSE YOU PIKACHU! Lolz sorry just had to do that! ^-^')
