The next morning, I walk to school with my guard up. I know Koenma's reign is about to begin. The people that were my 'friends' glare at me. I keep calm, seeing Hiei up ahead with his arms crossed, leaning against the school sign.

"Morning." I greet somewhat brightly.

He looks up at me with a soft glare. "We're up for a tough day, Kurama. Seems like Koenma has been busy."

My happiness disappears, anxiousness quickly replacing it. "What's happened?"

Hiei picks up his bag and we make our way inside the building. Now I know what he means by Koenma's been busy. People I know give me hard stares as if it is to make me feel guilty. I shake it off. Koenma deserves an explanation, and so did I.

Inside the school, the A-listers surround my used to be other half. Koenma stares at my direction and I motion for him to follow Hiei and I to rooftop. He tells his group to stay behind and go along with us. I try to process what to say to him, but for some reason, I can't find the right words. It's a matter of time until my time runs out. The three of us are on the roof, facing eachother.

"Well, Kurama? Did you just shove me along to rub your new boyfriend in my face?" Koenma says venomously.

I take a deep breath before starting. "Koenma, please listen to me. I want to apologize for leading you on like that. Honestly, I didn't mean to. You and I are better off with different people. It's just, you enjoy attention but not from me. And I enjoy attention from you; you just don't seem to give me as much as you give your other 'friends'. Yes you and I used to date, but that doesn't mean go out every weekend and never have alone time during school days or nights. I was blinded by the fact that I wanted to be wanted. That's why I kept telling myself I was happy with you. Even though-"

Koenma holds up his hand. "Enough said, Kurama. It's my turn to apologize. Forgive me but I never in a million light years to go out and not tell me that you had feelings for someone else. But I guess you deserved some explanation. I'll tell everyone that it's alright with us."

Even if he says he's fine, I know he isn't. Shrouds of mist cover his brown eyes. I want to hug him, but at the same time, I don't. I sigh and say, "Thanks for understanding. And I'm sorry about all of this."

He gives me one of his usual nods and leaves Hiei and I alone. "Well, I believe that went better than what you had expected?"

"Yeah. Much better than what I thought." I give him an, "I'm okay now" smile.

"Alright then. I guess its time to survive a day of wonderful high school." He and I hold hands as we walk down to our first hour class.

During the day, the rumors have calmed down. Seems like Koenma is sticking to his words. Hiei and I have our usual lunch up at the rooftop. He rests his head on my lap while I eat.

"You look cute from this angle you know?" He says a bit amused.

I gently laugh and lean down to kiss him. "I know. And you do too."

We relax for the remaining time we have. Hiei breathes calmly, the wind softly brewing in.

"Hey, Kurama? Are you sure it's okay with you that I'm a demon? I mean demons dislike humans and you never know what the future maybe."

I don't look down at him. "If demons really hate humans, you would've killed me and the entire school on the first day. And it's too late for me to turn back now because… because you've taken me somewhere no one has before. And I'm grateful for that."

He sits up and rests his forehead against mine. "I'm glad. Or I would've taken out your voice box already." His lips gently press against mine. "You drive me to my death you know?"

I laugh, somewhat breaking the mood. "Yeah. Maybe over the weekend, I can drive you to hell."

"You're so bad Little Red, so full of surprises. And that's why I love you."

The same night, I'm about to sleep when I feel a sharp point enter my wrist. I look over my hand to see a needle, digging deep in my skin. A pair of cold hands constricts me. I can't feel my body, nor can I feel myself breathing. I don't even notice when someone covers my mouth forcing me to black out.

HIEI'S POV:

I bolt up from my bed, my heart racing. I check on Yukina. She's fine, but I'm still shaking. Wind coldly blows on the wood. I try to push it away and get more sleep. I hope Kurama's okay.
