A/N: DISCLAIMER: I don't own Yu Yu Hakusho or its characters, just my OC's. Gimei - Right that was totally contradictory -_- but hey that's what I'm good at, failing epically. So here is my excuse, since I didn't exactly explain that to well. It was supposed to lean towards she totally forgot about him until he showed up at the beach, and even then her memories were still a bit clouded. While the flashback still counts as 'meeting Hiei' I guess, it was supposed to be more towards she didn't know him very well, since she only saw him for a few brief moments and he was hardly even considered an acquaintance of hers. In short while she did get an idea of his attitude, she had no idea he could glare like a master. So sorry bout that, that is my excuse even if it does totally sound like BS but I assure you it's not. Also I was about to get to that part of Kurama asking how she knew them all, but then my lovely OC Mitsuki decided it would be fun to...well you know the story, so yeah that will be happening this chapter instead. Sorry for the confusion, you'll find my brain works slowly. Thank you for reviewing for a second time, it makes me bounce off walls with happiness, not from sugar I swear. I'm glad you liked my Halloween Special, I admit I was a little scared that it wouldn't be that great. Thank you for the review. As for other people, Guest thank you for the compliment(s)! (I think that was two compliments but I'm not too sure...like I said I'm slow.) I'm so glad you approve of my pervert hunting idea ^-^ I thought it was pretty awesome, although I would have loved to be a fly on the wall when other people read the title. Again thank you so much for the review. 21 I'm glad you like it, I hope that if you keep visiting this story, and that you'll continue to enjoy it. Thank you for the review. XxNeriahxX, thank you it means a lot when people say that, it makes me much more confident that I'm not writing the story for no reason. Thank you for the review as well. I would also like to thank Rokuro 10, 21, and XxNeriahxX for the favorites and follows. Sorry that was so long, please enjoy the story now.
Last Chapter: It took forever to get to the beach, but they finally made it. With Katsune's story now revealed (part of it anyways,) she was afraid they would leave. They called her an idiot for thinking so, and oddly enough that made her happy. Having the feeling she would still end up being left behind she tried not to get to close. In her moment of realizing she would always be alone Hiei decided to drop by. Why that is, we might find out I'm not sure. Eventually joining the gang in the water, Mitsuki played yet another cruel trick on her.
Ch 7
My School is Deadly
I growled, "Mitsuki, mind telling me just what the HELL you did!?" My eyes were glued to the bulletin board in the hallway. There right in the center, was the picture she took of us at the beach, and by us I mean Shuichi and I. I averted my glare away from the picture and towards the girl, she was dead. "I thought it would be interesting for the journalism club. I have this huge project I'm supposed to do and this picture is a part of it." By that point I had enough. "What is this so called project, that seems to be so important I could be killed over it!?" I screamed again, thinking of all the vicious glares I was getting. Just then Shuichi was walking by, 'oh perfect timing, now I'm screwed.' I thought. I gave him a horrified look, not on purpose. Causing him to quirk up an eyebrow. A nervous choked laughter escaped me, and I quickly moved in front of the picture. "You know you can't hide that picture forever, he's eventually going to see it when your not around to cover it up." Mitsuki commented, and although it ticked me off, she was right. I wouldn't admit that though, "shut it, this is all your fault." I said darkly, venom dripping from each and every word.
Suddenly I heard the world around me, noticing Shuichi was trapped against the wall by a bunch of girls. "Is it true Shuichi?" They asked, "Did you really ki-" but I cut her off, slapping a hand over her mouth hard. "No, it didn't happen." And with that the girl was silent. "What didn't happen?" Shuichi asked, but I could tell he probably already figured it out. "U-uh..." I started, but the blush on my cheeks was probably enough to give it away anyways. A curious look glistened in his eyes, and he peeked around my fidgety form. Said curious eyes widened for a moment, and a blush spread across his cheeks as well. A sigh escaped his lips, and the blush seemed to go unnoticed by the swarms of girls surrounding.
I fell to the floor, I was definitely screwed now. I couldn't say if it was fortunate, or unfortunate that the bell rang at that moment. I guess there were pros and cons to both. On one hand, I escaped from all Shuichi's creepy fangirls. On the other, I would have liked to explain to him that Mitsuki was the one who did that, not to mention telling the fangirls that it was all an accident. I guess that explaining it might have kept the fangirls from wanting my head, in a sense, and thus making the pro to the bell ringing a moot point. However I highly doubt that it would matter much, I still kissed him...sort of, and they obviously didn't approve of such. I ran to class, wanting to escape that horrible mess either way. 'Damn, there's nothing worse than being smart and stupid at the same time!' I thought to myself. 'No matter how much I reason with myself, I still do the stupid thing!' A sigh escaped my lips, science was calling for me.
.
.The beginning of class
.
"Katsune." A pause, 'How am I going to clean up this mess?' The teacher got an irritated look on her face. "Eh-hem, Katsune Matsumoto." She said, her voice raised higher this time. I looked up at the teacher, "y-yes?" I asked innocently. She sighed, "can you tell me what I just said?" I paused, "Um...that possums and badgers aren't the same thing?" I asked, some giggles were heard as a result. "No, I said we were going to do another experiment this time. Stay after class for a bit." She said, 'oh crap I'm in trouble now.' A frown soiled my face. "Yes mam..." I said and sat back down. After some instructions we met up with the PE class. 'I've gotta explain what happened.' I thought, a look of determination on my face. 'The best way to do that would be...OH I KNOW!' I walked over to our teacher, and tapped her on the shoulder. "Yes Katsune?" I didn't wait for her to look to me, she was busy setting up the experiment right now so I just continued. "You saw the picture in the hall right?" I asked, her eyes widened slightly but quickly went back to normal. "Ah yes, you mean the one of you and Shuichi?" She looked over to me, and I nodded. "It was an accident, everyone in the school seems to be out to get my head. You see we were talking and then Mitsuki shoved me into him. You ask 'why do I care', well it's because it's a misunderstanding and I would like to clear it up. There is no doubt going to be some issues with partnership today for this experiment, if it is left unsaid that that was an accident." I waited for her response, "Yes I believe your right, this issue will effect the whole class, so what's your plan?" I thought for a moment, "okay, so I was thinking that you could let me explain to the whole class that it isn't that way between us and it was an accident before we start, and then before you explain the directions for the experiment say our partner has to be the opposite gender. The partner thing is more for my sake, I need to explain some extra details with Shuichi due to an event that happened this morning." She nodded, "how do you plan on getting him to be your partner?" I gave her a smirk, "don't worry I have an idea." And with that the experiment was set up.
"Alright class settle down." While the teachers were setting up everyone was just kind of hanging out. I walked over to where Mitsuki, Daisuke, and Shuichi were and gave an awkward smile. "Now before I go over the instructions, Katsune has something of importance to share with the class." I started to make my way to the front. I got glares from every girl as I walked by, I ignored them. "I know about the picture in the hallway, and the rumor going around because of it." I started, my voice was clear but I was shaking and tense. 'Public speaking, how I hate you so.' I thought before continuing, "I also know that if unresolved, this will distract us from what needs to be done in class, so I'm going to clarify a few things. First, Shuichi and I are NOT going out. Second, that picture is true, it actually happened, however, it was an accident." Just then one of the infuriated fangirls decided to but in, and I was expecting them to do so before I could fully explain. "How can you accidentally kiss someone?!" She shouted, and before all the other raging comments started flooding in, I spoke. "Well if your standing there talking to someone and your best friend decides to push you into that someone, causing you both to fall lips colliding in the process then I would say that is how you can accidentally kiss someone." I sneered. I took the silence as confusion, "Yes that is what happened, you wanna be mad at someone because of it then you can be mad at Mitsuki because doing such, taking a picture, and then showing the whole school was her idea!" Slight anger was heard in my voice. I looked over to her, and as expected a horrified look replaced her usually vibrant smile. "Thanks that's all I wanted to say." And with that I walked back over to the group. "Now that that's cleared up, you will have to partner with the opposite gender for this experiment." The teacher said.
Before Mitsuki and Daisuke could split I asked her a question. "Is this going to be like the last experiment, cause that was just flipping common sense...aren't we like 10th graders or something?" Mitsuki gave me a very amused look. "We are 8th graders Katsune, your 2 years ahead of yourself." And she was thrown into a fit of laughter. "Whatever I don't pay attention to the grade I'm in, you know this is probably the most I've ever gone to school. Besides that experiment last time was for kindergarteners, I hope this one is more interesting." She paused for a moment, "well I guess your right, as for knowing what grade your in...epic fail." And with that she left.
I turned around, and I wasn't surprised to find Shuichi was surrounded by a bunch of girls wanting to be his partner, in more ways than one might I add. I just watched him, I didn't know how to approach or if I even should for that matter. I put my hand to my lips, and felt my face heat up. 'I can't look away.' I thought panicking, at that moment my view was blocked. "Why are you staring at him, kitten?" A girl sneered, "I thought you didn't love him, that you weren't like that." She continued, and she had it coming. "Yes I guess merely being someone's friend is unacceptable, for a whore that is." I suddenly got the courage to approach. 'Although I can't stand girls like her, she really saved me. No matter how reluctant I am to admit it.' A light shade of pink was still on my face. The thought of the incident at the beach was still in the back of my conscience, never wanting to give me a break.
I shoved through the masses of girls, careful not to shove them too hard and bruise their 'flawless' skin, or I would surely be murdered for it. I saw him look over at me, our eyes locked on, and I gave him a confident grin slightly waving to him. He returned the gesture. The racket of the obsessive girls was annoying me, and so impulse took over, "oh will you all just quit freaking out!? Why don't you let Shuichi decide who he wants to be partners with, he probably doesn't even know the majority of you!" A girl in the crowd protested, "then he can just get to know us." I would not lose this argument, for both Shuichi's and my sanity. "Do you really think he has enough time to get to know each and every one of you personally? Do you think he has enough time in his entire life to get to know you all personally?" But they did not give up so easily, a shout was heard. "Your just saying that because you want him all to yourself!" Many shouts of agreement followed, however I was not going to lose.
As the shouts erupted, I became more and more irritated. I started to bite my lip. And at the same time I broke through the skin, what little of my patience I had left broke just as easily. "I don't like boys! I was tortured by my father, used as a toy and then tossed out by a selfish bastard when he was finished with me, and beat by my grandfather! And you think I have a petty little crush, on someone at school!?" A silence filled the air, and my tone darkened. "When you've gone through hell, like I have, I want to see you still believing in love...because I sure don't." A sudden realization hit me, I had just spilled my secret to the whole class, and it was no doubt going to go through the whole school next. I smacked my hand to my mouth, 'crap, oh why can't I just shut my mouth for once!?' I thought angrily, tears started to roll down my cheeks.
"If it still matters," Shuichi said, and I turned my attention to him. "I choose you as my partner Katsune." He smiled. I lifted my hand from my mouth, smiled back, and then suddenly realized that my hand was covered in blood. 'Oh that's right, I bit my lip...crap I probably look horrible.' I thought licking my lip, I winced at the penny like taste that hit my tongue. "Ack, I hate the taste of blood." The words absentmindedly spilled from my mouth. "You two get 100% since you probably would anyways." A teacher came over to us, "not to mention it's been a long morning. Why don't you go wash up Katsune?" I nodded and ran off to the girls bathroom, on the way there I passed many fangirls. "I heard she's a sexist." One said disgusted. I ignored them, 'they still feel no pity. Truly most demons don't even live up to being called such, when humans like them exist. Demons are friendly compared to people like them.' I sneered, and it did not go unnoticed by them. I felt deadly glares but it did not phase me, 'hah I could give a deadlier smile than that!' I thought, and continued towards my destination. However, I just couldn't shake the feeling that they were plotting my death. "This school is deadly." I said as I finished rinsing my face and hands. School ended quickly, and I found myself talking to Shuichi.
"Oh sorry about this morning, I think it's safe to say that was awkward." I said referring to my strange behavior of covering up the picture. "Trying to hide it due to being afraid of an accusation that I put it there only made things worse. In the end, trying to hide it was probably more suspicious than if I hadn't tried to." A saddened sigh escaped me. "It's alright Katsune, there's nothing to be sorry about." He smiled, and a felt a slight flutter inside of me. 'I feel like he's different than most boys, yet at the same time I'm afraid to get to close. What if he turns out like my last boyfriend.' The awkward silence was comforting, yet I still felt the need to disturb it. "I have to pay Mitsuki back for that, she will regret the day she was born. Going to the beach was probably the worst thing that could have happened that day." I glanced at Shuichi as he started to speak, "speaking of, you never did answer my question." He paused, looking over to her only to see a confused expression. "Question...?" A thoughtful look graced her saddened features, "OH! You mean when you asked me how I knew everyone?" She asked looking over to him, a slight nod indicated that she was correct.
She was trying to remember how she met them all. "Well I met Keiko when I was at the book store one day. We became close when we discovered we had the same interests, when it came to reading. Slowly getting to know each other, I ended up meeting Yusuke when I stopped by her place. I ran into Yusuke and Kuwabara later in the week, it was the typical Kuwabara challenges Yusuke to a fight and gets a few broken bones scene." I paused a moment, "I met Botan when I found out my mother was a demon. Although it hardly matters, with the way demons are portrayed my father was more of one. I get the feeling not all demons are such though, after all my mother has never been mean to me. When I was a child my memories were erased of the night my mother confessed she was a demon. When I found out a second time, they all came rushing back. Now she is in the hospital because apparently 'her wounds are acting up' from my father. I know it's a load of crap though, it's something worse than that.
As for Hiei, who I assume you know as well." I paused, a nod assured me I was correct in assuming so and I continued. "The memories are still fuzzy, but I'm pretty sure he saved me once when I was 7 or something. As for why he did it, your guess is as good as mine if not better." And with that my explanation was over with. I went into a deep thought for a bit, only to be woken up to, "Katsune wa-" but it was too late. "Son of a gun! Damn who put that wall there!?" I yelled at the cement that dared to make contact with my skin. "Yes I'm sure of it now, this school is deadly."
A/N: Hope you liked it, man I had a bit of writers block and it was driving me insane. Luckily I suddenly got a brilliant idea of her accidentally spilling her secret of 'being sexist,' then I couldn't stop writing. Hopefully writers block stays away for a while so I can at least get started on the next chapter! Also I thought I would let you know, I have a deviant art account and will be posting some drawing of my characters there as soon as I can get them done. I don't have any now so I won't tell you what it is yet, but it's something to look forward to I guess...even though my drawing isn't exactly the best. Reviews would be appreciated, thanks for reading and come again!
