Chapter 7

Koenma's Assignment

Gold starts walking again to Keonma's without getting sidetracked. The rest of the walk is silent, Gold doesn't know what to say to him after her defeat.

They arrive at Koenma's and he looks like he's about to kill Gold. "Where the hell were you two. I sent Hiei five hours ago. He came back and told me that you both ditched here to go eat." Hiei and Kurama are there, too. Hiei is sitting in his normal spot on the windowsill and Kurama is just standing.

~I'm gonna kill Hiei the next chance I get.~ Gold is so mad.

~Hn, it's not my fault you and your brother just don't listen.~ Hiei is in Gold's mind again. She gives him a death glare.

Koenma just keeps yelling on. "That was completely stupid. What if it was an emergency?" He sees Gold glaring at Hiei. "Are you eve paying attention to me Gold?"

Koenma snaps her out of your glare. "Yea, what, oh yes." She doesn't hear what he said before. The only thing she knows is that he is yelling at her.

Yusuke is used to Koenma yelling at him cause this isn't the first time he has ditched out. "What do you mean 'If it was important'?"

Koenma is getting even more pissed that Gold still doesn't pay attention. "It's not a case. What I really wanted is for Gold to go with Hiei and Kurama to train today, but it's too late for that. You'll just have to train tomorrow."

She hears the words 'train' and 'Hiei' imagines Hiei cutting her arm off if she doesn't do something right or she pisses him off.

~Thanks for the idea, baka onni.~ Gold looks at Hiei, this time nervously.

"Um, sorry koenma, I can't. I just remembered that I have a, um a dentist appointment." She runs out of the office. Everyone else tries to follow she but can't keep up with her. Gold thought she was home free but then she realizes someone is next to her. It is Hiei. He stuck his foot out and trips her. She falls but before hitting the ground, Hiei grabs the back of her shirt. He carries her on his shoulder, is very uncomfortable. "Put me down!" She kicks and screams like a little girl.

"If it was up to me, you would have been dead the first time out opened your big mouth, baka onni." He walks back to Koenma's office with Gold screaming. He puts her down and goes back to the windowsill.

Koenma at this point is furious with Gold. "I'm not in the mood for you, Gold. You arrived here five hours ago late, You didn't pay any attention to me and you tried to run away."

Lectures annoy her. If only Hiei didn't stop her, she would have been home free. Yusuke applauds Gold. He likes that fact that they have yet another thing in common.

Koenma clears his throat, "Gold, if you are not in my office tomorrow at 10:30 am, you will be in deep trouble. Hiei and Kurama will be training you. If you are not here, your head will be on my wall."

Gold isn't scared of him, but she doesn't want to start any more trouble. "Yea, sure, I gotcha, my head on your wall."

"Fine, then you may leave now." Gold, Yusuke, Hiei, and Kurama leave the office and walk through the portal.

"Gold, When you're done with your training, the deal will start." He is talking about the being handcuffed to Hiei.

"Fine." Hiei doesn't know the deal involves him.

"Oh, yea, Gold how does it feel to be on Koenma's 10 most wanted list?" Yusuke is so proud of her.

"I guess if feel kinda cool." She looks over to Kurama, who looks like he has something to say. "What's up Kurama?"

He looks a little embarrassed. "Um, I was wondering if you wanted to come over, Gold?" He blushed as he asked.

Gold hasn't spent any time with him and she thinks it would be cool. "Sure, I'll come. Oh, yea and I say later we all go out to a club. You, Yusuke, even Hiei, and me, we could just party. I saw this club while I was walking to the arcade." She hasn't been in a club in about two months.

Hiei starts walking away. "Sorry, I don't party." Before he has a chance to say another word, Gold stops him.

"Come on Hiei, even you could come to a club. It'll be fun." He pushes her out of the way, but she stops him again. "Come on, you don't have to dance. You could drink or sit or something. Please come." Gold really wants to get to know the gang better.

"If I go to this club, then tomorrow when we train I could chop your arm off if you do something wrong." He just stands there looking forwards.

Gold is afraid that something like that would happen. But maybe she might see another side like she did when he baby-sat her. "Deal." They come to an agreement. If he goes to the club and tomorrow Gold screws up, bye bye arm.

"I hate to interrupt but we have to go, Gold." Hiei just walks away from the group. Then leaves. "It's 3:00."

"Yea, we'll leave around 9:00, but I wanna get ready about 7:30. Yusuke, We'll see yea later." Gold and Kurama start to walk to his house.

"When we get to my house, call me Shuuichi, ok? And my mom doesn't know my real name or about Spirit World and things involving that." They're outside his house when he finishes.

"Yea, Shuuichi. It's the same as my mom." Kurama opens the door.

"Hello Mother." He says it in the sweetest voice she has ever heard.

There is a woman coming out of what looks to be a kitchen. She is tall with long brown hair and brown eyes. She is holding a pan filled with homemade cookies. "Hello honey and I see you have a friend over. Just in time for some cookies.”

Kurama takes the cookies from her. "Mother, you shouldn't get out of bed." He helps her to lie on the couch. "We'll take the cookies to my room." Gold can tell he cares a lot about his mother more than anything in the world.

They arrived in his room. "That was the sweetest thing I've ever seen." Gold sits on his bed.

He gets a little embarrassed by the compliment, "Thanks."

Gold looks at his room and sees roses all over. "Nice room." Gold likes it, but at the same time she will never live in a room like this. "So, why did you invite me over anyway?"

"I just wanted to get to know you better before we train tomorrow."

He sits on the bed next to her. "Before you get to know me better I have a question or two for you." He nods and she continues. "How does a nice guy like you hang out with people like Hiei or my brother?"

He has a smile on his face while he answers her. "Things aren't always as they seam. Before my mother had me, I was a bandit in Demon World called Yoko Kurama. But some guys damaged me greatly, so I had to hide in Human World. I was supposed to hide as the child Shuuichi Minamino, until my strength came back. My mother brought me up and raised me to be the kind and gentle human as I am now. But Yoko is still in me."

"What about Hiei. How did you become friends with that annoying Hiei." Gold shutters at the word 'friend'.

"Well he tracked me down and we were kind of 'Partners in Crime'."

"You two partners in crime? Ha. Don't make me laugh." Gold gets up, walks to the window, stares outside. "So did you want to ask me something?"

Kurama gets up, walks over to there, and puts his hand on her shoulder. "Yea, I was wondering, you said you hate Hiei, but then why did you invite him to go to the club?"

Gold finds herself blushing a little. "Well, I do hate him, but he's part of this group. So he should come and do group thing like going to a club."

"So then what about Kuwabara?" Gold looks at him like he's crazy.

"Are you kidding. I hate Kuwabara. I could kill him."

He has a look on his face that says she screwed up. "I thought you hated Hiei. How is he different from Kuwabara?"

Gold sits back on the bad not looking at Kurama. "He just is. Shut up!" She knows he got her. She knows he is right. So she just sits in silence.

Kurama brakes the silence. "Do you want a drink?" He is still at the window and Gold is still at the bed.

"Yea, I'll take a coke." He walks out the door, leaving Gold all alone for a minute. "I do hate Hiei. I'll kill him, too. He could just rot in hell for all I care."

Kurama returns with her coke and his drink. "Here's you drink." She takes the drink.

"Thanks." They spend the rest of the time talking. "What time is it?"

He looks at the clock. "It's 7:15."

Gold get your shoes on. "I should go. I'll see you later. Come by our house like about 8:45 and don't forget to look cool." She walks out of his room through the living room, "Bye Ms. Minamino, bye Shuuichi." She leaves the house and walk home.
