Kiss the Cook: Kurama's Revenge
By Beautiful Dreamer
"The problem with being good friends is when you have an argument with each other; and you'd find out that you have no one to turn to. That good friend is the only one that understands you out of everyone else." Kurama thought as he made his way through the halls of Meiou High School. Along the way, Kurama greeted his fan club with his usual false smile but he didn't stick around to chat.
"I haven't seen Hiei for quite some time after the meeting about the curse … I don't want to think about him but how come my mind keeps wandering back to him… Hiei is just an infatuation I have. Getting too attached to one person is dangerous." However, Kurama couldn't explain the emotion dwelling inside of him as he continued to think about Hiei. "This new emotion, the reason I feel this way about Hiei, could it be rejection… No one in either this life or the last has ever discarded me. This feeling will not due at all; there must be some way to get raid of it." Kurama finally stated in his mind.
Kurama entered the classroom with about twenty-five students. They stood around the room in casual postures; some were clustered in small groups. Others were sitting on desks or chairs in careless unscholarly attitudes. They all wore official uniforms.
Kurama didn't feel like talking to anyone so he took his seat.
"Is Shuichi feeling ill?" A random girl asked in a whisper to one of her friends.
"It's hard to tell. He has been acting differently for the last two weeks." The friend whispered back.
"Yeah, it was when came in late for class… Maya, you went out with him in junior high, I think you would know more about him." The girl said.
"We didn't go out very long, Umi. And I have to say, I know even less about him after we dated." Maya said with her head looking at the desk. A few girls beside Umi and Maya were interested in the conversation and started to eavesdrop.
"Maybe, we're making a big deal out of nothing." Umi told her friend.
"That's right. You two are worried about nothing." One of girls beside them interrupted.
"Out of curiosity, why did you break up?" Another student asked Maya in a snobby tone.
"His mother was terrible ill. He said that he couldn't give me the attention that I deserved because he had to take care of his mother." Maya told them with a sad tone of voice.
"I heard his mother is better now. Don't you want to get back together?" The student asked.
Before Maya could answer the question; the last bell rung. All the students took their seats. The teacher walked into the classroom and told the class to take out their books. Time went by quickly and the bell rung for lunch. Before the students could leave, the teacher announced, "Class, you all be heading to room 109 for lunch.' Sounds of confusion filled the room, once quite the teacher continued, 'This is a new class, teaching you Home Economics. You'll be making your lunches in their. That's all." The teacher finished and left the room.
In another part of the school, Meiou's principal was meeting with the principal of Sarasaki High.
"Mr. Takenaka, I decided to allow Hiei into this school. I'm sure Hiei will find her work more challenging here than at Sarasaki." The principal gave the female Hiei a smile as Hiei sat in her seat with a look of indifference.
"The little time she was at Sarasaki, she shown herself to be a quick learner. It would be good for the school reputation if we could keep her, but the school has become over crowd. Also, I think this school would open up more opportunities for her. I like to thank you, again." Takenaka concluded as he extended his hand.
"I'm glad I could help an old friend." Meiou's principal shook Takenaka's hand. "Hiei, welcome to Meiou High School. Your first class is Home Economics."
In the Home Economics classroom, the students were ready to break up into teams of four. The home ec. teacher told the students to put on aprons and to tie up their hair before getting started. Kurama was wrapping a rubber band around his red hair to form a pony tail. Maya and Umi already asked Kurama to be paired with them. Many of the other girls were fighting for the last spot. Then the door was open to reveal a short girl wearing a black jumpsuit, standing next to the principal of the school. There was a small introduction made to the class. Softly, the students whispered back and forth.
"You see what that girl is wearing?" A male student asked his partner.
"Yeah, it's a boy's uniform but you expect from a girl that goes to Sarasaki High." His partner responded.
"She seems mean. Her expression is really cold." A girl said.
"She probably had been in jail."
"Settle down class. Hiei, you can be in Minamino's group. They are in the right hand corner of the room." The teacher directed Hiei to Kurama's group. Kurama's eyes widen in surprise as he realized that it really was Hiei but then his eyes turned harsh.
"Hello Hiei. My name is Maya. Beside me is Umi. Over there, next to the stove is Shuichi." Maya told Hiei. Hiei stole a glance at Kurama. There was a mischievous smirk on his face as his index finger pointed to the pot he had on the stove. Hiei gave Kurama a provoking glare saying, 'I dare you to pull something in front of these humans.' Kurama response was to turn up the heat to the pot of water on the stove. Maya didn't notice the bad vibes the two were sending each other. Maya just thought the expression on Hiei's face was that Hiei didn't care who they were and let's hurry to get this project done.
"Hiei you can help me wash the vegetables." Maya said. Hiei only shrugged her shoulders as they walked to the sink. Maya turn the knob on the sink and a rush of steaming hot water came gushing out of the faucet. Hiei growled inwardly. Water had become her number one enemy and it seemed to threaten her everywhere she went. Hiei could care less if these people saw her change into a boy. But Hiei found out it is less draining on her body to stay one gender for a good amount of time and it's also drier.
"We have to wait a few minutes for the water to turn colder. The teacher said this sink is broken. When you turn it on, the water is scolding hot, but it will soon turn cold." Hiei nodded at Maya's explanation.
Here was the perfect opportunity Kurama was waiting for. Hiei is distracted at the sink and it would be too late for Hiei to notice his attack. However, if he directly dumps the warm water on Hiei, he would get in trouble. There has to be a way to make it look like an accident.
"Shuichi, I don't think there is enough water in the pot." Umi stated to Kurama. 'Perfect.' Kurama thought. 'I'll just trip her as she's going pass me to the sink. She'll tumble forward and the water will spill out of the pot and splash on Hiei.
"I think you're right. Can you go fill this up for me?" Kurama lifted the pot off the stove.
"Sure." Umi said with a smile and Kurama handed the pot to her. Kurama stepped aside to let her by. The girl was too happy to pay attention to the fact that Kurama extended his foot from behind her.
At that moment, Hiei had a feeling that something was about to happen. So, she turned around to witness, Umi falling to the ground. But what catch Hiei's interest was the pot of water that was flying through the air. However, the pot of water wasn't headed towards her but was going in the opposite direction. Umi actually made the pot go over her head instead of forward before she fell. Now the pot of water made a perfect landing on top of Kurama's head.
"I'm sorry, Shuichi." Umi screeched as she realized what she had done. Umi's voice had the whole class' attention. All the girls in the class dropped what they were doing and went to Shuichi's aid with napkins in hand. All girls expect for Hiei. Kurama looked at Hiei as the girls were swiping him off. Hiei stood there with a smirk on her face. Kurama's revenge had failed.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~ ~~
Author's note: Some clarification about Kurama's behavior incase you don't understand is that Kurama never had anyone dump him before. He has always gotten what he wanted and Hiei's rejection is making him feel new emotions. Kurama doesn't know how to handle these feelings. So, he thinks that get back at Hiei would make the feelings go away.
Anyways, you guys made me so happy by reviewing. Thanks for the encouragement and help full suggestions. I promise to get someone to proof read my next chapter. On another topic, I need some help.
I can't decide if Hiei should be a girl or a boy when he meets Shiori (Kurama's mom)?
Can you please answer boy or girl? You don't have to write more than the gender.
Thanks.
