I could tell he was getting pissed. I couldn't blame him. And I also couldn't help annoying him, either. His pouty mood just made it irresistible. I poked his shoulder once again, chuckling as his eyes flashed red with pent-up fury. It was a good 40 minutes to get to that church, so I had all the time to bug the hell out of him, basking in the easily-won victory. "It wasn't me..." I snickered.
"YOU'RE THE ONLY ONE IN THE BACKSEAT BESIDES ME, AND THE ONLY ONE WHO'S DUMB ENOUGH TO TEMPT MY WRATH, BAKA KITSUNE!" Hiei's side of the seat glowed purple with rage, the window looking as though it would soon shatter under the force. His eyes were slits and his fangs were bearing. He was just a little bothered.
"I said keep it down, you two!" My mother, somewhat agitated, turned and said it for the sixth time since we've boarded the vehicle. I really didn't like this side of her, even though she's been showing it a lot more lately. "I just don't know what's gotten into him lately..."
Her friend spoke. "It's probably just hormones." She nodded confidently and adjusted the vanilla scented, chicken shaped air freshener. "All boys do get strange around their teenage years." She made a sharp turn and adjusted the vanilla scented chicken once more, since the turn threw everyone to one side of the car, and nearly flung the poor air freshener off the rearview mirror. "Sorry 'bout that..." I could tell she didn't exactly ace her driver's test.
Hiei peeled his face off the window and looked over at me awkwardly. "...What the hell is she talking about?" His face was full of question. It was quite amusing.
"What do you mean, Hiei?" I asked, almost laughing as I did so.
"What are... hormones?" It was a true and sincere look of cluelessness. I wish I had a camera. He kept staring at me as I continued to chuckle. "I'm serious."
"Chemicals in the body which are released at certain times to either change, cause a reaction in, or to calm down the body." I smiled profoundly at my statement, but Hiei did the opposite. "...What's the matter?"
"In a language that I can UN-DER-STAND, KU-RA-MA..." Hiei's eyes rolled at his last syllable. "Say it again, or give me an example."
"Okay... um..." I looked around, trying to help myself think. What could I use for an example? I just couldn't think... "Hormones... hormones... huh..." Still brainstorming, I twiddled my thumbs and mumbled to myself, trying to come up with an easy example.
"Hey, kid... didn't you ever go to school?" My mother's friend turned and asked Hiei, in a way taking her eyes off the road and swerving to stay on one side.
"Hn... school's for baka ningens... I don't NEED it." He huffed and crossed his arms, staring out the window.
"You think you're too good for education? You're NEVER too good for an education. Heck, I'd be NOWHERE if I didn't get through eighth grade!" Her excitement caused her to swerve yet again, throwing everyone back and forth as she did so. I was right; she probably didn't even GO to driver's ed!
"...You merely made it halfway up the scale of education. That's nothing to be proud of, I'm afraid. Demons have no use for ningen education. That's why none of us have gone to school." Hiei retorted at her, smirking.
"Oh, isn't that cute! He thinks he's a DEMON! That's so funny!" She made another sharp turn, adjusted the vanilla scented, chicken shaped air freshener, then kept going down the road with all her horrible, L.A. or New York-ian driving tactics. This car ride was starting to sicken me, and in a way that made my stomach turn. I kept the complaining down to a minimum and suddenly thought of an example for Hiei.
"Puberty!" I yelled. It made her nearly run right off the road.
"What the heck are you-! You scared the crap outta me! And what the heck does 'puberty' have to do with education?" She panted the words out and calmed herself, still going down the road with haste.
"It's an example of how hormones work!" I replied.
"Well... what is this 'puberty'?" Hiei asked me, looking intrigued.
