“Who are you?” Mr. Hikoi asked rather accusingly, when hehas walked up to Yusuke and Hiei.

Yusuke was the one who replied: “We’re new studentsobviously.” He jutted his head in Yuna, Rikku, and Yuki’s direction. “Likethem”.

Mr. Hikoi sighed heavily, massaging his forehead as he lethis head hang for a moment. “Are there any more coming, it’s better to warn menow.”

Yusuke shook his head. “Nope just us”

Mr. Hikoi nodded also, almost like reassuring himself more thananyone else. “Good. You two can go ahead and introduce yourselves.”

Yusuke and Hiei both walked forward and faced the class,just as expected Yusuke began. “My name’s Shiro Yamato, my favorite food is burgers,and I like street-fighting.” He turned his head slightly and Yuna saw his winktoward her. She smiled warmly. Koenma had warned them that the demon hidingwould suspect boys more than girls so it was dangerous for sama or anyone elseto be around during this mission.

She leaned forward in order to see Hiei who spoke, his roughuncaring voice making her wince. “My name is Naru, sixteen years, I don’t likemost things”

Yuna pursed her lips and leaned back again, turning her gazeto the floor. She didn’t like hearing Hiei’s voice like this; she didn’t likehow he was acting either. Since he had told her yesterday about why he had beeninjured; she couldn’t help feeling as if she was the one who caused him tofrown, to be this cold.

Mr.Hikoi spoke behind her, and she looked up at the class;pursing her lips again nervously when she met many eyes, she tried to ignorethem and sense her way through the group of human’s.

“Okay, let’s do this again. Any questions?”

Many hands rose up, Yuna fiddled with the bottom of herskirt, trying to pull it down unconsciously.Yuna felt uncomfortable again, what if they asked her a question and shestuttered what if it was one that Botan hadn’t practiced with them?

Mr. Hikoi pointed at a boy in the very back. “Yes Toma,what’s your question?”

Toma gestured with his head to Rikku. “Do you have aboyfriend?”

Yuna tilted her head, boyfriend?

Rikku folded her arms, before she looked straight at theboy, her eyes cold. “No, but I’m not looking”

Next was a girl who asked Yuki if she liked anyone. Yukionly blushed which made the class snicker. The next was a boy in the very fronthis desk directly in front of Yuna.

“Yes Nakao? Who do you want to ask?” Mr. Hikoi said.

Nakao looked forward, to Yuna’s face, his dark eyes lockedon her grey ones. A small smirk lighted his face. “If I asked you out, whatwould you say?”

Yuna’s face turned confused. Asked…you out? What did thatmean? Was it the same as Kuwabara asking Sama outside? But they always seemedto be on the verge of fighting, this boy didn’t look very angry at her, but shewasn’t sure, maybe you didn’t need to be angry to challenge someone to fightoutside.

She abruptly felt a sharp poke to her side and winced,glancing over to her right; at Rikku, who was mouthing out words that Yunaeasily read.

“Say no”

Yuna faced the boy again, and was about to mimic Rikku’swords when she felt a surge of spirit energy off the boy in front of her. Itlasted for less than a minute but she had felt it, and she understood that thiswas an opportunity she shouldn’t miss. This boy was most likely the demon theywere looking for. “I would say…yes” She replied.

The class erupted into giggles and chattering; it took Mr.Hikoi a while to settle them down but once he did he announced question takingwas over. Walking back over to his desk he picked up a clipboard and studied itfor a moment. A moment, which allowed Rikku to jab her once again sharply inthe side and whisper; “Didn’t you understand me? I said say no goddammit.” Shehissed under her breath. Yuna hung her head in shame. “I’m sorry, but thismight be the only way to catch him”

“Catch him?” Rikku repeated eyeing her friend.

Yuna noticed that the boy they were whispering about seemedto be staring at her. If he was the demon it was certain he would hear them.

Yuna straightened up and glanced at her friend, giving her aquick shake of the head. They would talk later, when the target wasn’t sittingdirectly in front of her.

Mr. Hikoi walked back to the front of the class, and flippedup a page on the clipboard; than he looked up and spoke. “You” He saidgesturing to Yusuke. “You sit over there by Matsuo, and your friend sits twoseats down.”

Hiei and Yusuke both moved to their selected seats, and sat.Yuna noticed that both of them looked toward her at the same time, and shesweat dropped. They’re gazes almost piercing into her soul. Of course she felthorrible, they were probably very angry, she had just accepted a challenge withouteven thinking about it.

She was cut off from her thoughts when Rikku once againnudged her, then walked forward to the third row, she plopped herself down atthe window seat and crossed her arms, almost slouching in her seat. Yuna heardthe teacher say row 1 seat 7, she quickly counted and ended up with the seatright in front of her, and also beside the suspected demon!

Yuna fiddled with the bottom of her skirt again as shewalked around the boy named Naru’s seat, and sat at hers. She moved her handsto sit lightly on the desk. Her eyes pointed straight forward at the teacher,concentrating on him, and not allowing herself to look to her side. She toosoon felt the gaze of Naru on her right, and she felt a sweat drop slide downthe side of her face. She blinked and raised a finger cautiously to stop it. Itfelt like water?

The teachers voice started to speak and she tried to look asif she was listening, but really she was tensing up slightly, feeling thespirit power around her. There was Sama’s, Hiei’s-Sama’s, Rikku’s, and Yuki’s—andthen there was also…

Yuna’s grey eyes slid to the side to glance at the boybeside her, she met his dark bottomless ones. She quickly zipped her eyes backto the board, watching with unconcentrating eyes as the teacher wrote something on the board.She winced hearing every squeak that marker made as it traveled across thewhiteboard. She was pretty sure it was the boy beside her, but it wasn’tuncommon for a demon to use a host to place his spirit energy in so he couldhide from enemies. She shouldn’t jump to conclusions, but still….

Yuna’s eyes moved to the corners again in spite of hercommon sense resisting. She looked slyly at the boy beside her; for once hewasn’t staring at her but taking notes in a blue notebook. He had rather spiky,short, black hair; and a small face. It looked rather haughty and proud nowthat she studied closely. Suddenly she sensed something approach her from theback, something small, white? light but very quick. Reacting by instinct sheturned around halfway quickly and caught the paper ball; with hardly a sound.

She spotted the perpetrator right away, Rikku sat on theright grinning archful grin at her; waving a furtive hi to her. Yuna shook herhead just slightly and turned back around hiding the ball under her seat justas the teacher turned to them from the board. “Now who can tell me the cyclegoing on in this story?”

Yuna bent her head over her seat, trying to look as if shewas taking notes on her lap. She opened the paper ball cautiously so it wouldn’tcrackle too loudly, than read Rikku’s scrawl style of writing.

Hey, stopthrowin flirty eyes to the target idiot! Remember we’re gonna jump him oncethis stupid human class is over!!!

P.S Youbetter calm the detective and the fire demon after too, they look like they’reabout to murder everyone in here, they’ve been glaring at you for likepractically the whole time we’ve been here…

Yuna tilted her head once finishing the note ratherconfused, flirty eyes? What did she mean? Was she talking about looking at himall the time? Then Yuna didn’t blame her, she had been looking at him way toomuch, for all she knew he might already be suspicious.

At that moment, a shrill-like sound filled the room, like ademon being strangled with a horn in it’s throat; and suddenly everyone wasstanding up, packing their things, moving to the door to leave. Yuna a littleflushed, stood up, reached down to get her school bag than straightened upagain; only to meet Naru’s gleaming eyes. She lost her breath for a second, hermind wheeling telling her to throw back her arm and punch him, but than sheremembered that wasn’t part of the plan.

Yuna stepped back quickly, and clenched her bag tightly inher hands. She forced a small light smile to appear on her face, just likeBotan taught her. “Um…is there anything you needed?” She asked tilting her headslightly.

Naru nodded with a small smirk of his own. “I was hoping Icould show you around the school”

“Oh” Yuna said taken aback for a moment. Then her smile wasn’tso fake anymore. “Sure!” She said without really thinking. “That would be nice”

Naru nodded again. “Good I was hoping you’d say that”
