I have a large smile on my face as am happy to be out of class. Suddenly my grin falls... that was only second period... GODDAMN IT! THE DAY'S NOT EVEN HALF OVER!I sigh and slump forward slightly as I walk. I didn't know how right I was when I said it was going to be a long day. I continue to walk through the somewhat crowed halls, not really paying attention to anything in front of me when I suddenly walk into something and fall back on my ass. I growl - hey, I already was in a bad mood, not to mention I'm still a little sore from yesterday - and glare up at the person in front of me. My glare is cut short though and quickly turned into a look of surprise as I see that the person is none other than Yusuke Urameshi."You okay?" Yusuke asks with a sheepish smile as offers his had to pull me up. "I wasn't really watching where I was going."I give a low chuckle and reach for his hand. "I'm fine; don't worry about it," I say as I am pulled up. Bye-bye floor; it was nice knowing ya. "And I wasn't really watching where I was going either.""Bad day?""Long day,""Ah, teachers right?""It's school, do I really need to say anything else?"Yusuke laughs lightly at my reply and then grins. "Come on," he says and without waiting for an answer, grabs my arm and starts pulling me down the hall. I stumble down the hall with Yusuke half-dragging me. I am about to ask where we are going, when we suddenly stop in front of a door. Pushing it open, he quietly steps into a stairwell before racing up the stairs, once again, half-dragging me behind him.
Yusuke stops in front of another door, which he pushes open and then pulls me through after him. Finally Yusuke lets go of my wrist and lets me stumble forward a few feet as my eyes adjust to the sudden light of the school's rooftop – which is where Yusuke has brought us. I turn to Yusuke. "I can walk you know," I state dryly. Yusuke gives another sheepish grin. "Heh heh, sorry about that..." I give him a good-natured smirk to show that there was no harm done and then walk over to the edge of the roof. I lean against the railing and take in a deep breath of the clear, clean air. It feels wonderful to be up here with the wind in my face and certainly relaxing too. Suddenly I hear the light rustling of material to my right - thanks to my now heightened wolf hearing for that! - and glance at the source of the noise from the corner of my eye as not to alert Yusuke that I heard anything. What I see is cloaked in the shadows of the building, but there none the less. Staring at the area a little bit harder - and still from the corner of my eye - I am finally able to make out a figure standing there, and that figure is Hiei!It startles me slightly, but I soon relax again and turn my focus back to the scenery in front of me, Hiei is probably up here with Yusuke. Speaking of Yusuke, I can hear him coming up besides me right now. It's incredible, really. I only just found out that I was a demon a few days ago, but already I can feel my heightened senses as if they have been that way forever... but then again, I guess they always have been like that of a wolfs; I just wasn't able to use it. I sigh contentedly, as I look out over the school grounds and feel Yusuke lean against the railing as well. However, I'm already getting bored, and so decide to poke some fun."So, Yusuke," I drawl in a casual tone. "What's up with you and Keiko?" I immediately feel Yusuke stiffen next to me and try to hide me grin."Well... I... uh... she... we... I mean... we... that is... uh..." Yusuke stutters, his face red as a tomato wait, scratch that, it's as red as a genetically enhanced beet that's been dipped in dye, and colored on, and... Well, you get the point. This time I am really not able to hide my grin and even have to stifle a laugh – and I swear I heard Hiei chuckle from the shadows... either that or he muttered something about evil chickens... I think I'll go with the first one. Anyways, I grin widely at Yusuke."So you do like her, huh?" I ask. Yusuke goes even redder - if that's even possible - and continues to stutter incoherently. My attention is no longer on him though, for the stairwell door has just
opened and Suiichi, Kuwabara, Jessica, Keiko, and Chris walked through. They pause for a moment to stare at Yusuke and I, but that's understandable. I mean it must be quite a sight, with Yusuke deep red and stuttering still and me standing there, grinning like an idiot, I'd pay for a picture of it."You...okay?" Chris finally asks. I give a chuckle and my grin turns back into a smirk. "Fine, just having some fun," I answer."Okaaay..." Jessica says with a role of her eyes as all of them come over to the railing. ...Except for Kuwabara that is. The poor dope is still looking back and forth with a confused look on his face; this must be too much for his small brain to handle. It almost makes you feel sorry for the monkey - I mean guy! Guy! - ...almost..."Why are you guys up here?" I ask after a moment."I asked them to come," Yusuke says with a grin - he's finally snapped out of his blushing fit... though I did detect a hint of pink when he glanced a Keiko. "I thought you all might want to come over to my house.""Why not?" I smirk. "I've got nothing better to do." The others give murmurs of the same type of thing, but Keiko is glaring up at Yusuke."Yusuke!" she barks. "You are not skipping school!" Her face has now turned red from anger and it's actually quite interesting to watch. Hey, look! One of her veins is sticking out! And there's another! And another! Ooh, I think she might have just popped that one... I'm starting to fear for Keiko's health when I notice - to my surprise - that Yusuke has a pleading look on. "Please Keiko," he begs. "It'll be lots of fun!"For a moment Keiko gets even redder as she seems to be having an internal battle with herself, then she finally sighs. "Alright, alright," she says grudgingly. "But you are coming to school tomorrow!""Okay!" Yusuke says with an idiot grin. He then glances at the shadows to my right where a now half-emerged Hiei is leaning against the wall. "Coming?" he asks. Hiei gives a "Hn," and while I can only just begin to fathom what he mean by that, Yusuke gives a nod and seems to take it as an answer."Then let's go!" Yusuke cheers and makes his way towards the stairs with everyone following behind.---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------(A half an hour later at Yusuke's house... or apartment... or whatever it is that he lives in)We were all standing in front of the door waiting as Yusuke was just about to unlock his door. However, just as he is about to insert the key, the door flies open and there stands a girl with a popsicle in her mouth. The girl had shoulder length brown hair and large, innocent gray eyes that had a hint of gold in them. My first thought was that she was pretty nondescript, but then I noticed at certain fire in her eyes, a determination, the same fire that is in Yusuke's. Upon seeing the girl in the doorway, Yusuke jerks back. "Kiara?" he asks questioningly, then his surprised look turns into a scowl. "You're supposed to be at school!""Uh-huh," Kiara says with a roll of her eyes. "And that's why you're standing here with a group of people behind you while your school is still in session, right?"Yusuke glares at the girl. "Move Kiara," he growls. Kiara complies with another roll of her eyes. Yusuke smirks slightly and walks into his house, motioning for us to follow. Kiara is already in the small living room, sitting on the floor. She is staring straight at me."Who are they?" she asks Yusuke."Huh? Oh, this is Kristy, Jessica, and Chris. You already know everyone else," Yusuke answers then turns to Jessie, Chris and I. "Guys, this is my little sister, Kiara.""I'm not little," Kiara pouts. And that's pretty true; she looks to be around 13 and is only about 6 inches shorter than Yusuke. That means that to me she is pretty tall...but then again, nearly everyone is taller than I am. Hell, even Hiei is taller than I am!Actually, Hiei is around my height; it's just his spiky hair that makes him seem taller than that. Speaking of his hair, how did Hiei get it up like that? I mean, it looks like he stuck his finger in an electrical outlet to get it to stand up like that. In fact, I'm surprised he doesn't have sparks flying around him right now. As I'm musing over this, "Sparky" sees me watching him and turns to glare at me. I blink at first, surprised at his unwavering gaze, then get annoyed that he's not stopping and so meet his glare with a deadly one of my own. As we stand there glaring at each other, I can almost swear that there are sparks going between our glares... but maybe that's just some left over electricity from Sparky."Hello, anybody home?" Jessica calls, waving her hand in between Hiei and I and breaking our glare."What?" I growl out at Jessica."Hn," Hiei grunts and stalks over to the window seat to seat down. I narrow my eyes at Hiei as he walks. I wanted that seat! Suddenly, I smirk mentally, realizing that this is going to be a very interesting afternoon.TBC
