A Yu Yu Hakusho Story #8

The next day at school.1

*RIIIIINNNNG!!!!2

The students all take their seats, but Yusuke, Hiei, Kurama, and Kuwabara come in late.3

"Take your seats boys," Mrs. Yayashi said.4

"Yes, ma'am," the boys said in unison. Yusuke sat next to Keiko, Kuwabara sat next to Yukina, Kurama sat on one side of Samana and Hiei sat on the other. Samana realized where Hiei was and moved to a seat away from him. Kurama moved next to Hiei, where Samana was once positioned.5

"I think she's giving us the cold shoulder," Kurama whispered to Hiei.6

"No, just me," Hiei whispered back.7

"Why just you?"8

"Cause I read her diary---"9

"YOU DID WHAT!?" Kurama said standing up and yelling at Hiei.10

"Is there something you would like to share with the class, Kurama?" Mrs. Yayashi said.11

"Umm...no," Kurama said blushing and then took his seat. Then Mrs. Yayashi continued, "You read her diary?" Kurama whispered.12

"Yeah so?"13

"That is a total invasion of her privacy, if someone read my diary---"14

"You have a diary, what are you, gay?" Kurama gave Hiei a cold look.15

"With an attitude like that, I'm surprised she likes you at all." Hiei looked down.16

"It, was just, you, well---"17

"Excuse me, boys, how would you like to see me after class?" Mrs. Yayashi said.18

"But, I have to be somewhere," Hiei said.19

"Me too," Kurama said.20

"Then quit talking," Mrs. Yayashi said sternly.21

"Yes, ma'am," Kurama and Hiei said together.22

"We'll talk later," Kurama whispered to Hiei. Hiei nodded.23

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~24

At lunch, Samana sat nowhere near Hiei and the group.25

"What's the deal with Samana, we forgave didn't we?" Keiko asked.26

"Hiei wasn't so nice to find out why we should forgive her and Yusuke," Kurama said coldly.27

"What did you do?" Keiko had an evil look on her face.28

"I read her diary, what's the big deal---"29

"WHAT!" Keiko said without realizing half the lunchroom was staring at her, "THAT IS A TOTAL---"30

"Keiko, sit down," Yusuke said trying to be nice about what he said. Keiko looked around, blushed, then sat down.31

"How dare you Hiei! That is a total invasion of privacy!"32

"That's what I told him, if someone read my diary, I'd---"33

"You have a diary? What are you gay?" Yusuke said laughing with Kuwabara.34

"That was rude." Kurama said coldly. Keiko elbowed Yusuke in the ribs and shook her head.35

"Sorry."36

"Anyway, that was a total invasion of privacy, Hiei, no wonder she's giving you the cold shoulder."37

"Yeah, should I go apologize?" Hiei asked.38

"Yes!"39

"Okay." Hiei stood up and walked over to where Samana was sitting. The others watched Hiei try to apologize.40

*WHAP41

Hiei got slapped right across the face. Hiei stood up and walked back to the table. Kuwabara and Yusuke were holding in their laughter.42

"So, how did it go?" Kurama asked.43

"In case you didn't notice, I HAVE A RED HAND-PRINT ON MY FACE!" Hiei said pointing out the mark on his face that was left from when he was slapped.44

"What happened?" Kurama asked.45

"I sat down and said that I was sorry for reading her diary, and then she said that she thought I was just snooping in her stuff, then she slapped me."46

"Ouch," Yusuke said.47

"Maybe you should have just said sorry and left it at that," Kuwabara commented.48

"Shut up," Hiei said rubbing his cheek.49

"She hit you pretty hard I take it?"50

"I swear, out of all the people I have fought, she hits the hardest," Hiei said still rubbing his cheek. Then Yusuke, Kuwabara, and Kurama burst out laughing, "Oh, shut up," Hiei said with an evil, cold stare.51

"I'll try talking to her."52

"Go ahead, but don't come crying to me when she hits you." Kurama got up and walked over to Samana. Kurama walked over to Samana and sat down. The others watched as Kurama talked to Samana, they were all waiting for something to happen to Kurama. They talked for a little while, then they both stood up. When they rose, Samana gave Kurama a big hug. Everyone's jaws dropped(Hiei's jaw dropped the lowest). Kurama walked back to the table when Samana departed out of the lunchroom.53

"What did you tell her?" Yusuke asked.54

"I told her that Hiei was sorry, and he should have never looked, but he was just trying to get proof for us to forgive her. I also told her that I will make sure to keep this kind of situation from happening again, and that she could always talk to me if she has a problem. And that she should go home to gather her thoughts and relax. Then she told me thanks and gave me a hug." Kurama explained.55

"Well, at least she won't be mad anymore, right Hiei?" Hiei mumbled something and walked off, "Now where are you going?"56

"None of your damn business," Hiei said coldly.57

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~58

Back at Samana's house, Samana was sitting on her bed and looking at the ceiling.59

*Samana thinks "How could Hiei do such a thing? I know he was trying to help, but I thought he would respect my privacy. On the other hand, he would have found out the same thing if he were to read my mind. But who knows what else he found out, after all, he was snooping in my magic stuff."60

*TAP TAP TAP61

Samana looked up and saw Hiei was standing on the balcony. She got up and walked over to the locked balcony door. Samana opened the door slightly, enough to be sure nobody could get into the room.62

"What do you want?" Samana asked coldly.63

"To apologize," Hiei replied. Samana opened the door a little more.64

"I'm listening."65

"Well, I'm sorry, I really should not have been snooping, but I swear, I only read what I needed to know."66

"What was it you needed to know?" Samana asked with cold eyes transfixed on Hiei's ruby red eyes.67

"I just wanted to know what truly happened in the kitchen with you and Yusuke."68

"And you couldn't just ask me?" Samana said coldly.69

"Well, I wasn't thinking---"70

"That's right! You weren't thinking!"71

"I'm sorry, please forgive me." Samana's evil glare looked straight into Hiei's ruby-colored eyes. Hiei's eyes were big and filled with sorrow. Samana's glare slowly changed into a soft, caring look.72

"I can't stay mad at you, Hiei-san." Samana opened the door all the way and allowed Hiei in. Hiei walked in and took a seat on her bedside. Samana walked over and sat next to Hiei. She plopped onto the bed and Hiei leaned onto her shoulder, but when he realized that he was on Samana's should he immediately sat up straight and blushed. Samana stared at Hiei with caring eyes.73

"I'm sorry."74

"I know, I'm just so glad you told me." Hiei looked up into Samana's eyes.75

*Hiei sensed a presence76

"Someone's here," Hiei said, his eyes were no longer caring, they were cold and dark (game face).77

"Can you tell who it is?"78

"No."79

*The presence faded away80

"It's gone," Hiei said.81

"Should we go tell the others?"82

"There's no need."83

"Why?"84

"Whoever it was, mad no contact, so they must not be that interested."85

"Right," Samana said with a nod of agreement.86

"I have to go."87

"Why?"88

"Because I have training to do."89

"What do you mean training?"90

"The dark tournament is coming up again soon, and I just got an invite."91

"I thought you didn't go to those anymore."92

"Well, normally I don't, but Koenma says that if any of us get an invite, then we have to go. Because that way we can get rid of potential enemies."93

"Sounds like fun," Samana said sarcastically.94

"Well, you're gonna have to go too."95

"What!?"96

"Yeah, Yusuke, Kurama, and I all got an invite. But we need two more fighters on our team. Koenma chose you and Kuwabara."97

"Then we should all get together and start training again."98

"Yeah, I'm heading off to Yusuke's to see when training starts."99

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~100

Hiei got to Yusuke's house by hopping from tree to tree till he reached his destination.101

*KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK102

Yusuke answered the door, and let Hiei in. When Hiei was about to sit down, he saw Samana already sitting on the couch.103

"How the Hell did you get here faster than me?" Hiei asked Samana.104

"Boys aren't the only ones that train in their spare time ya know," Samana said.105

"Still, you shouldn't be that fast."106

"Okay, fine, you caught me, I drove here."107

"I knew it."108

"Really now? Then you must have looked shocked for no apparent reason," Samana said with a smirk. Hiei gave her an evil glare.109

"Well, now all we have to do is wait for Koenma and Boton," Yusuke said.110

"Why are we waiting on them?" Kuwabara asked.111

"Because Koenma is setting up a training ring for us, and Boton is the announcer for the training rounds."112

"That's stupid," Hiei said, "I would rather train alone."113

"Then why don't you," Yusuke said coldly. Hiei walked out the door with an evil look on his face.114

"I too wish to train on my own, Yusuke," Samana said as she stood up.115

"Okay, see you later," Yusuke's said, then directed his attention to Kurama," Are you going to train alone as well?"116

"I will train with you and Kuwabara if it okay," Kurama said politely.117

"Okay then." Yusuke, Kurama, and Kuwabara sat around for some time waiting for Koenma and Boton, till they finally showed up.118

"Yusuke," Koenma began with a shaky voice.119

"About time toddler!" Yusuke said in a very anxious voice.120

"Yusuke, my father won't allow me to build the arena---"121

"WHAT!?"122

"Look, I asked him several times to reconsider, but he said no every time. There is no use fighting with him. You will just have to train on your own," and with that, Koenma disappeared.123

"COME BACK HERE TODLER! YOU PROMISED ME AN ARENA!"124
