~* Chapter One: Ningen Mask *~

(Kurama's POV)

Bored… bored bored… bored bored bored… ring already, come on, you can do it, Ring!

"RING! RING! RING!"

Thank Kami.

The school bell rang and all the students shut their books and packed up as I, the one longing for the bell to ring, smiled and quickly packed up.

"… Read chapter 27 and do the review at the end. We start Egypt next week, so prepare. Ja ne, oh and Minomino-san!"

I pulled my one-foot back in the classroom and turned around.

"Yes, Tagogouwa-sama?" So close, [sigh] yet so far away.

I walked over to the teacher's desk.

"Are you feeling alright? You seem to be out-of-it lately."

"I'm fine." Just bored… very bored.

"Alright, you may leave."

"Arigato, Tagogouwa-sama, sayonara." Finally…

I walked out of the classroom, to my locker and put few books I didn't need up, and out of the school with my usual flock of fans, harmlessly stalking me.

Times in Mushiyori City had been boring as of late, few cases at the Ningenkai. Yusuke continued with school, surprisingly, though he still skipped detentions; him and Keiko are still going out. Kuwabara still had a passion for his kittens and was still in love with Yukina, who still did not realize Hiei was her brother. And Hiei had been released from the Ningenkai and stayed in the Makai most of the time; but he came to see me after school and during the night.

[Sigh] Though these days it's the same thing every day: wake-up, get dressed, be bored at school, think about Hiei, leave school, and get followed by my usual fan club, which should be trailing off right about now…

All of the girls following me had parted off into opposite directions as I just kept walking.

~`~`~`~`~`~

Baka kitsune.

Nani?

Why don't you just kill them all?

Who?

Those Ningen females.

Oh, them, I don't mind them; they're no bother to me.

…Hn.

You know, Hiei, you can come out of those trees, they're all gone.

~`~`~`~`~`~

A small Fire/Koorime demon, wearing a large black cloak with a white bandana over his forehead covering a third eye, jumped out of the tree and followed me. I was walking for our whole telepathic conversation.

Second part of my day: walk home with Hiei, go do my homework while Hiei sits in my window seal and watches, get questioned by Hiei as to why I put up with the Ningen school boy way of life, then go to bed with Hiei sitting up against my wall.

This is the part of the day when I become Youko Kurama.

"I'm on your mind a lot, hn?"

"Nani?"

"I must have missed the first part of your day; does it include only Ningens?"

"Oh, [smirks] mostly, yes; why are you in my head?"

"You were thinking too loud."

"Oh, I'm sorry, I'll try to whisper my thoughts so you can't hear them." [Smiles wide]

"Hn."

It was a silent walk from there as Hiei and I walked to my house. I put my mask of Suuichi Minomino on once again to greet my Ningen mother; Hiei took the back way to my window and waited patently for me to come open it.

"Tagogouwa-sama was not light on his homework assignments as many others where not as well so I may be up all night doing homework." I don't like to lie to my mother, but technically it wasn't a lie, I do have a lot of homework.

"Do you want something to eat?"

"I might come down for something later, just a little something though." She had that concerned look on her face she often gives me lately.

"Okay, well, oyasuminasai; I'll be in my room if you need anything."

"Alright, oyasuminasai oka-san."

My mother walked into her room as I waked up the stairs and into my room to see Hiei outside my window. I put all my school supplies down on my desk and let Hiei in, then got to doing my homework as Hiei watched.

~ Some hours later ~

[Sigh]

"Hmm? Hiei, is there something wrong?"

"I still don't see why you put up with it."

"I guess no matter how many times I explain it to you, you will never understand."

"Hn… baka kitsune."

[Smiles] "I know, I know." I went back to doing my homework.

"When will you be done with all that?"

"Why?" As I flipped through the pages of my geography book looking for chapter 27.

"Just curious… I don't care why, you don't have to tell my."

"Just a little while longer, I'm almost done. I just have to read this chapter and do the review at the end." I could see, out of the corner of my eye, Hiei craning his neck to see what I was reading.

"It's about the Middle East."

"Hn, doesn't seem interesting."

Hiei was now done looking over my shoulder and positioned himself back on the window seal and closed his eyes.

"It's very boring."

"So, why do you read it?"

One of his eyes was open and on me now.

"Because I have to."

"You shouldn't have to; not if it's so boring."

"Yes, I know but hopefully Egypt will be a little more exciting to read about."

"Egypt?"

"It's far west from here on another continent."

"Hn… done yet? I'm tired."

"Well, I haven't gotten anything read because I was too busy explaining thing to you… you know you don't need me to go to bed, right?"

"Hn."

Hiei slid off the window seal and walked over to my closet, pulled out a blanket, and headed over to the wall in the middle of the window and table, which was next to my bed.

"You don't have to sleep there you know."

"Where else is there to sleep? You have the bed."

Hiei sat up against the wall.

"It's a big bed."

"I'm fine down here."

He took off his cloak and closed his eyes.

[Sigh] "If you insist." I wish you wouldn't.

I turned to Hiei who again had one eye open and on me.

"I'm sorry was I thinking too loud again?"

He just closed his eye again and I turned back around to finish what little homework I had left.

"Oyasuminasai my baka kitsune."

"Oyasuminasai, Hiei." … Wait… my baka kitsune?

I looked over my should one last time to see Hiei asleep sitting up against the wall with my blanket in his lap and his cloak next to him.

He was wearing his black pants with the three white belts. I smiled at the sight of him sleeping, then went back to reading. I was finished at almost midnight; I put on my pajama's, got in bed, took one last glance at the Fire/ Koorime demon sleeping against my wall, then went to sleep.

~+~+~+~+~

"BEEP! BEEP! BEEP! BEEP!"

I hit my alarm clock to turn it off and sleepily I got up and headed for the bathroom.

I knew Hiei would no longer be there; he always left early in the morning so, he was never caught by my Ningen mother, Shiori. Hiei didn't understand why I never told her I wasn't really her son. Then again, he didn't know much about the Ningen ways. Either way, he made sure never to get caught.

I got dressed and ready for school; then I went down stairs for some breakfast.

"Stay up all night last night?"

Shiori had a pan with eggs in one hand and a plate with bacon on it in another.

"Yes, I went to bed at about midnight."

"Oh, well you must be hungry, you never came down for a snack last night."

"I thought you went to sleep?"

"I was watching TV, do you want anything for breakfast?"

"Breakfast sounds nice."

Shiori scooped the eggs onto the plate and put it down on the table for me then got me a glass of milk and some coffee for herself. When I finished I cleaned my plate and cup then put them in the dishwasher. I thanked my mother for breakfast and kissed her good-bye and was on my way to another boring day at Ningen school.

I didn't notice as I was walking that a demon had been watching me.

~`~`~`~`~`~

Sleep well last night?

Nani? Hiei what are you doing here?

Koenma needs to see you, Urameshi, the Oaf, and me later, after your Ningen School.

Oh, alright.

Hn.

~`~`~`~`~`~

I felt Hiei's youkai dissipate, I knew he was gone.

I wonder what Koenma wants; no doubt it's another case we haven't had one in a while any ways.

I kept walking and was followed by my fan club were they parted from me the previous day. I followed my normal routine and put my books in my locker that I didn't need until the end of the day. I went to my first period and sat in my usual desk. I sat near one girl, the only one in my fan club that was brave enough to sit next to me; she sat in front of me. Behind me was a boy and to my right the seat was empty. I sat next to the window to look out of when I had gotten bored, which I found myself being more and more then.

The bell rang and all the students sat in their desk as the teacher walked in.

"Sit, sit arigato. Ohayo gozaimasu class.

"Ohayo gozaimasu, Mitsubachi-sama." The whole class replied.

"Today we have a new student, Channel (A/N: pronounced Sha - nel), will you come in here please?"

A girl with curly jet-black hair down to her butt walked in. She wore the red uniform like the other girls with black socks and shoes. Unlike others she had blue eyes, but they didn't look naturally blue; it was likely she had contacts.

"Ohayo gozaimasu, everyone," she said in a sweet voice, "I am Kasago, Channel." She bowed.

"Ohayo gozaimasu, Channel-san." Everyone responded.

"Please take a seat next to… umm… Suuichi-san, please raise your hand, Suuichi-san."

[Raises hand] I hope I don't have another fan.

Channel walked over and sat next to me and I just looked out of the window; I had no intention of making eye contact with her. She sat down and waited for the teacher to start the lesson but much to her displeasure she got questions.

"Where did you come from Channel?"

Everyone nodded tier heads and looked at her; they were all curious.

"Actually I was born and raised in Egypt."

The class was in "Aw," when she spoke.

That's well out of the way, but she came just in time.

I was then looking at her and she was blushing as many people, mostly guys, started asking her random questions.

"Now, now class, this is what lunch and PE are for, you can ask her questions later."

That ended the conversation and we started class.

~+~+~+~+~

The rest of the day was chaotic. Channel had almost every class with me and was placed near me as well.

It was finally the last period of the day and as usual, I was bored. Things had settled down and Channel seemed bored as well. She was sitting in front of me looking out of the window like I frequently did. Tagogouwa-sama was writing on the board.

"I hope you all are writing this down, it will be on your test Monday, that means you two Minomino-san, Kasago-san."

He kept writing and didn't look at us once.

"Gomen nasai." Channel and I said simultaneously.

We both finished our notes.

~ Later ~

"RING! RING! RING!"

The bell rang and everyone left. I was walking out of the school, after making a quick stop at my locker, and I saw a crowd of girls and guys surrounding the new girl, Kasago, Channel. I tried not to draw the attention of my fan club, whom had also been in the clutter; I was successful.

I never realized how nice the silence was… well the silence and not being stalked.

~`~`~`~`~`~

I'll make sure not to break the silence then. I just thought I should come remind you that-

Koenma wants to see us, yes, I know. You can come down.

~`~`~`~`~`~

Hiei `blurred' next to me.

"Do you know what he wants to see us about?"

"Hn, a case, isn't it obvious?"

"Yes, but I mean specifics."

"I'm not sure… were are you going?"

"I need to call my mom and tell her I will be coming home late tonight."

I walked up to a pay phone, put in a few cents, and called my mother.

"Moshi moshi, mother, I will be home late tonight a few friends and I are going to study for a test, is that alright?"

"…"

"Okay arigato, Ja ne."

"Are you ready now?"

"Yes, let's go."

We both turned into the woods and into a portal to the Reikai Koenma made for us. We made our way into Koenma's office to see Yusuke and Kuwabara standing in front of the chiisai God's desk.

"Oi, `bout time you two got here."

"Shut the hell up baka no one's in a hurry."

"On the contrary, Yusuke, this is will need to be dealt with fast. We have an extremely deadly demon on our hands."

Koenma was standing on his desk, in the middle of his mile high stacks of papers, to get closer to eye level with the Rei tantei.

"What the problem toddler?"

"This is no time for jokes, Yusuke, you have a big mission ahead of you, all of you do."
