Chapter 3 : School.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xmYi2tW95ag&feature=related

Yuna, Rikku, and Yuki stood outside Sarasaki High, all three wearing the school’s required girl’s uniform, and holding a side blue bag that held what supplies they needed for the classes. The great black school gate loomed in front of them, telling them clearly that they were late, so much for staying inconspicuous as Koenma had ordered. This mission was a simple one. Infiltrate the school, gather information about the demon hiding among the other ningen students, and report back at the end of the day with as much information as they could get.

Rikku looked to her right at Yuna, who’s expression was plainly disturbed, she stood in place rocking back and forth slightly. No doubt still fussing over Hiei, who had been directed to stay in bed for a week more. Rikku half-guessed that Koenma had made Yuna join in on this mission, just to stop her from making a big deal at Yusuke’s apartment, about Hiei’s injuries. Sure they were serious, and Rikku wasn’t stupid. She got it that Yuna had more then a little attachment to the fire demon. But she was slightly annoyed at the fact that Yuna seemed to put him higher up then her and Yuki. It was like she forgot they were practically blood-sisters.

She glanced to her right, and saw that Yuki was also looking toward Yuna, her expression a kind of motherly worry. Rikku chuckled under her breath and let out a small smile. It had been so long…since they had been together on a mission, and for once, they weren’t going out to kill someone and burn they’re pieces. She, unlike Yuki and Yuna, remembered fully well what had happened back at the Organization. How they had to do so many terrible things, how they were used to kill so many innocents, how they were brainwashed to the lowest degree, and drugged. Rikku suddenly gritted her teeth, and her fists clenched. The image of the familiar figure of a black figure rose in her head, and she felt her teeth bite through and blood seep out in a trail out of her mouth. It was only a second, but she could feel a nuclear anger in her, that was shaped into a cat form, something that could destroy the whole neighborhood and still have energy for more, if allowed out—and then she felt a light hand tap her shoulder. She turned her eyes a light orange with no pupil, to see Yuna showing off her gentle, amazing, reassuring smile. Rikku melted. She let out an easy breath, and unclenched her hands and relaxed her jaw. She looked back to Yuna and grinned. “Don’t worry, I was just thinking” She assured Yuna.

“Thinking might lead to action” Yuki’s meek voice stated.

Rikku looked over to her left, at the long blue-haired angelic girl. Yuki was always spitting out fancy quotes, and poem lines, usually ones that she remembered from the Organization training. Her words were different every time. Sometimes she told them to be careful of what was around them, sometimes it meant she wanted them to be more responsible with how clean they kept they’re room. It depended on the situation. Since they were on a mission, Rikku guessed Yuki was meaning something on the lines of shut that brain up now or you might destroy a city because you get too carried away. Rikku sweatdropped as an image passed through her head, of a giant her using an enormous fat arm to crush Tokyo tower.

Yuna spoke then, snapping Rikku out of her extremely humiliating day-dream.

“I guess we better head in. huh?”

Rikku and Yuki nodded simultaneously, before facing the gate again. Yuna walked forward first and jumped up in a flash to the top of the gate, she searched the surrounding walkway, and frontyard, to see no one near. She turned back to look down at her two teammates.

“All clear” She said.

All three girls entered through the front school doors and started to search for the front office. Before long they spotted it on the left of the entrance, Rikku went in first to check out the surroundings, making sure that the demon couldn’t be sensed as the principal or one of the secretaries. Koenma had told them that the demon was playing as a student, and luring others away from the school to devour them. He said that being in a position of too much power would attract attention, attention that the demon did not want. But it was no loss to check.

Rikku came back out with they’re schedules and a few useful things to carry around the school. She handed Yuki and Yuna both papers to put in they’re bags and gestured to walk away from the office. They huddled close together by a line of grey dull lockers nearby quick. “Okay none of them seem to be too sketchy, but that secretary lady was getting on my nerves, looking at me like I was about to mug her.” Rikku’s comical glum face showed Yuki and Yuna that there wasn’t much to worry about. Rikku didn’t exactly act all sunshine with people she had just met; she had a hard time trusting people—it wasn’t worth the trouble to inspect the secretary.

Yuki spoke after Rikku, putting on an apologetic expression directed to Rikku across from her. “Um…I’m sure she’s just tired from working all day in the office, I expect it’s tiring to greet that many people in a day, and telling them information—as well as giving them supliment-“

“Which means?” Rikku muttered darkly now almost glaring at Yuki.

Yuna tilted her head and stuck her pinkie up, her expression uncertain. “I think she means that the secretary is off the hit list” Yuna explained.

Both Yuki and Rikku turned to stare at Yuna, they’re mouths gaping.

“Who the hell taught you that?” Rikku extracted agogly.

The conversation was interrupted by Yuki’s hidden earphone bursting into static. She raised a hand to her ear and pressed a small button at the side of the earphone, the static abruptly stopped. “002 here responding, is there a problem?”

Botan’s blatant response made Yuki wince and almost remove the earphone from her now ringing ear. “A problem! Of course there is, you three haven’t even entered the class! You won’t possibly have time to sense which student is the demon, second hour is in only 10 minutes!”

Yuki’s face passed over a guilty expression. As she looked up at her two teammates who both had heard quite well Botan’s racket from the speaking device. It had been her fault actually, the reason why they were all late. The school’s uniform made her rather uneasy with the short skirt and all. She hated wearing shorts or skirts of any kind, and had given her two other teammates a rather hard time convincing her to wear it. She only broke through when Rikku stomped out the door without them muttering obscene words under her breath.

“Yes, I’m sorry about how late we are. We’re heading up to the class now Ms. Botan”

Botan sighed, and she was silent for a moment, probably regaining her composure. “It’s not your fault Yuki, it’s just we’ve been chasing this guy for such an awfully long time. We don’t want to lose him again.”

Yuki responded quickly. “We’ll make sure to get as much information as we can Ms. Botan, I promise myself that nothing will go wrong.”

Botan laughed on the other line. “You can’t promise that, but what you can promise is to keep Rikku on a short leash, and Yuna out of harms way. Yusuke and Hiei are going crazy over here, even though they won’t admit it they’re worried about Yuna.”

Yuki smiled softly at the mention of the connection between the two boys and Yuna. To her they’re connection was closer then family. Although the two boys didn’t get along well with each other, they would bare each other just to stay in Yuna’s friendship circle. It was extremely obvious that they both had affection for her, though they didn’t realize it, that it almost wasn’t funny.

“I’ll make sure on both counts, and in return…could I ask a favor?”

Botan responded lighting quick, sounding surprised that Yuki had actually asked for such a thing. “Sure, anything in my power.”

“Can you tell Master Kurama to make sure to drop by the store while I’m gone? He’s running out of okoyanami ingredients.” Yuki blushed brightly a half second later, surprising herself that she had actually blurted that out.

There was silence on the other line for a moment, than Botan burst out laughing. In the background she could hear someone snickering along. Her face turned the color of a beet. “U-um, forget it, I-I’ll do it later” Yuki quickly pressed the button to close the line and held her breath staring at the floor.

“Uuum?” Rikku questioned leaning into Yuki’s beaming face.

“Worried about fox boy, huh Yuki?” She asked a snicker in her words.

Yuki brought her beaming face up quickly, and raised her hands, waving them frantically. “No no, not at all I just forgot to mention it last night!”

Rikku was ready to exchange shifty eyes with Yuna, when she saw that her best friend’s face was completely innocent to Yuki’s words, and she sweatdropped instead. That was right, Yuna didn’t understand how sex went about and all that. Her two ‘masters’ got violent whenever Kuwabara mentioned it around her and made her curious.

“Last night huh?” Rikku interrogated Yuki her eyes widening slightly.

Yuki turned an even brighter red, if that was possible—she glanced away biting her lip. “Anyway, Ms. Botan was really anxious that we get up to the second floor, we should’ve been in the class over ten minutes ago”

With those words, Yuki turned away from them and speed walked toward the stairs, before they could say release.

“Ready?” Yuki whispered clenching the door handle of class 102.

Rikku and Yuna on either side of her both had on serious faces. “Yes” They said together.

Yuki’s hand moved the sliding door to the right, it’s sound was rather creaky, and Rikku winced, grateful her sensitive ears weren’t out.

The door slide open fully and Yuki glanced back at them to nod once, before slipping through. Yuna looked to Rikku, who gulped reached down to lower her skirt for the thousandth time, then followed Yuki. Yuna was right behind her.

Yuna entered the room, and saw a large amount of young humans, all sitting at tables with papers in front of them. The room was small, and looked very crowded with all the students filling it with they’re huge bodies, and large desks. She tilted her head, confused at what she was seeing. They all looked tired, bored even, someone in the back she swore was snoring. Though she was sure she could hear him only because of her powerful ears. It was like they were all doing something important, but were too lazy to start doing it. Yuna bit her bottom lip and her eyes slipped around the many faces staring back at her, glazing their eyes at her body, studying her. And all of a sudden she felt very uncomfortable. She realized why Rikku and Yuki always pulled down their skirt whenever they passed people in the street to get here, and why they had been looking rather nervous outside the door, as if they were walking to their death. All those human’s eyes, were judging her, scanning every bit of her, she felt…naked.

Yuna started to rock on her feet, her face unsure now, of what they were supposed to do. They had practiced of course, before they had left the house. Botan had made them go over and over the routine of introducing themselves to the class. Saying their age, name, and a few of their interests, she also said they might be asked some questions by the students. Right now Yuna didn’t want to answer anything, for the first time, she wanted to turn and bolt as fast as she could.

A much taller shadow suddenly loomed over her, and she looked up, her eyes widening. It looked like an animal she had once saw in a place called a Zoo, that Botan had taken her a while ago. What was it called….a hawk?

Yuna stepped back and raised a hand to scratch the back of her head nervously. Her brain demanding that she say something.

“Um…” Her raven colored eyes swept back over the students, who were now pointing at her and whispering among themselves. She felt a sweat drop begin at her forehead. She forced herself to look up at the leader of the class, or in more easier words, the teacher. His gaze was even worse than his subordinates, almost raking her body, she saw himself lick his lips, and she suddenly had an impulse to throw up that she didn’t understand.

“Y-yuna, sixteen years, hugging, spending time with my friends, and strawberries” She blurted out half aware of what she was saying.

The teacher’s eyes narrowed the same time as the class started to giggle. Yuna looked down, feeling a rush of new emotion. Shame.

Abruptly she felt someone by her side, an arm flung around her shoulders, and Rikku’s roughish, confident voice made her look up.

“We’re the new students from Nagoya, got a problem? Do you usually glare down new students and try to scare them away or what?” Rikku’s voice rang with sarcasm; her bright orange eyes glaring back up at the hawk -like teacher.

The teacher, looking extremely displeased, stared back at Rikku his survey scrutinying her.

“Didn’t anyone teach you to treat elders like a proper young lady?”

Rikku smirked gimmickly, looking up from his feet to his head almost arrogantly. “Heh. You don’t look like any young lady to me, old man” She hissed challenging him.

The class erupted in louder giggles, savoring the moment that someone actually said an insult to Mr. Hikoi. His dark beady eyes flashed alarmingly. “I see we have a new troublemaker. Your name?” He said commanding her in a threatening tone.

Rikku placed a hand on her hip, and blazed a conceited look at Mr. Hikoi. “Lucy” She replied cogently.

Yuna and Yuki both sweat dropped.

Mr. Hikoi moved a clipboard from the desk beside him, and raised a pencil stuck to the top, he scribbled some stuff down then raised his dusky eyes to face Rikku again. “All three of you introduce yourselves to the class, than I’ll pick a place for you to sit.” Rikku didn’t reply, but pushed past him, clenching Yuna’s hand, pulling her after her. Rikku faced the class of scary human teenagers and without a opening in her words spoke clearly.

“Yo, I’m Rikku Sukioki, I’m 16, and I like sports, beating other people’s butts in, and fishsticks.” She shot a glare at Mr. Hikoi when she was finished. He looked down at the clipboard, at what he had just written his mouth gaping for a full minute, than he looked up again his face slightly red. Rikku smirked and looked away, nudging Yuna.

Rikku’s nudge woke Yuna up from her hazy trance, her raven dark eyes looked up at the class, and she managed to bring out a small smile and a flash of a waving hand. “I’m Yuna Kazai, nice to meet you” She bowed quickly then flashed back up to rub the back of her head. “Um my interests are…learning new fighting moves, spending time with the person I care the most; and um…icecream with strawberries” Yuna looked up half-shyly from under her dark straight bangs to see the class’s amused expression. They were laughing…at her….but for some reason it didn’t seem to be as bad as when she had first blurted out an introduction, maybe it was because of the icecream part? Botan had pointed out that it wouldn’t be a very normal one, but it was the first thing that had popped up in Yuna’s head.

Yuki stepped forward next. As always she was calmer than Yuki or Rikku ever would be. Her face was winningly kind as she faced the class and spoke calmly and clearly. “My name is Yuki Emi, my age is 16, and I like to cook, look after these two troublemakers, and tennis” She tilted her head and smiled when the class laughed at her words.

“Now any questions?” The teachers drawl came from behind the desk now, erasing something from the clipboard that Yuna could guess.

A boy at the very back, raised his hand and waved it like a maniac, several others followed him, all boys.

Just then the door slide open abruptly and it slapped the bar stopping it. In stepped who would ever guess—Yusuke. Yuna’s eyes widened as a familiar spiky-haired boy walked in after him, his crimson eyes immediately locking on her. Yuna lost her breath in half a second, her thoughts confused, at why her two masters would be here, when they were supposed to be hiding back at home!
