The alarm has been going off for the last ten minutes, of course I heard it when it went off I just didn't feel like turning it off. Plus after a while the sound drowns out into the background and is rather comforting in a technological sort of way. I roll over on to my back and let the monotonic lullaby push me back into another seven minutes of slumber.
"God! Get up and turn that thing off, Hiei," my sister shouts from the bathroom, before she chucks a small decorative soap ball at me. My palm flashes outward, catching the soap ball just before it hits my head. So much for my seven more minute.
"Why, you won't be done primping for at least another fifteen minutes, so shut the door and ignore it." I say with a huff as I flop back down dropping the projectile on to the floor.
"It is annoying." She yells back with a mouth full of toothpaste.
Yes it is annoying unlike a sister who wake you up so you can have the pleasure of watching her get ready, because sleeping until the bathroom is free is one of the deadly sin right there between gluttony and envy.
" Damn, I am awake now." I curse getting out of bed and stroll over to my closet. I fling it open step back and gaze inside.
"Hmm black, jet black or ebony. My, my my so many choices Hiei" my sister mocks from behind me.
I spin around and with a huge smile on my face place a finger on each cheek, "Hmm, annoying, grating, or hemriodal. My my my Yu so many sisterly modes." I say in high pitch pseudo happy voice.Believe you me I truly adore my sister, nothing and no one means more to me then her but sometimes she just,"Agrghh" I shudder aloud.
I am back to the task at hand pick out what to wear, I would giggle at the fact she is right my wardrobe is a bit on the dark side, but childish tittering is not my style. I shrug shove my hands in and pull something from the top rack and something from the hanging bar. Not that I am a underwear folding neat freak, I just find it saves a lot more time if you hang all of your pants on the bar and place your folded shirts on the shelf above it. I toss my choices over my shoulder and on to my bed not giving them a second thought.
"Are you finished yet Yu?" I calmly ask walking towards the bathroom that adjoins both of our rooms. The bathroom is like a portal. On one side is her room. Her room is like sunshine enclosed with in four walls, my room the shadow it casts.
"Not yet." she says turning back to the mirror.
"Well I suggest you keep looking in the other direction cause I got to take a piss, now." I warn her before I pull down my pants and proceed to do so. After a barrage of how disgusting I am she retreats to her own room and slams the door. I let my shorts fall to the floor, wade through the jungle of girl necessities, and turned on the shower.
"Oh joy another day officially beings." I say as I let the hot water wash away the sleep from me. I lean back against the cool tiles and slide down to the basin. The water drops splash forcefully upon my face, chest and stomach. I am lost in the study of how a single drop hits the skin dimpling it slightly then breaks into smaller drops of water as it arcs away from the centrally located first drop.
"Hiei we got ten minutes to get out of here or we will be late" My sister calls to me.
Well, so much for bathroom science with Hiei I think as I stand back up, turn off the shower and step out. Looking into the mirror I had recently wiped the steam from, I attempt to comb my hair down. Even before the mirror is steamed over again I can see sections of my hair spring right back up again.Themission was to befriend gravity and tame my hair. Mission failed. Fed up wit the whole thing I shake my head vigorously flinging the excess water everywhere. Perfect. If I can't make it stay down at least I can make it stay up, I rub some of Yukina's wet set mouse through it to make sure it stays.
"Hiei, come on I am not going to be late for our first day." Yukina complains as she walks back up stair to get me.
I rub the towel briskly over my body drying in record time. I walk into to my bedroom and begin to gather the outfit I chucked over my shoulder earlier. I really should have looked at the outfit I had recklessly picked out. Oh well I muse as I step into it. She practically busts down my door.
"Hiei let's…" her words fail to come out once she see what I am wearing. "….go?" I grab my bag and stroll off past her. "Hiei, must you always make life so…"
"Interesting" I say adjusting my belt to the last hole and rechecking the lace hooks of my boots.
"Good bye, father." she says gives the man a kiss and a bow.
"Good bye sir." I say grabbing something to eat I porously walk in front of him just to see what he does. He is not our real father he is a million times better than that twisted bastard, but I am hungry and we are late and my mind does not want to play the 'Fuck you father game.'
"Umm…." I happen to catch his expression. One eyebrow was cocked and his head was tilted to the side. His mouth opens again to say something but quickly closes it as his hand reaches to back of his head. He slowly shakes his head and smiles. "That boy is something else." I hear him declare as we step out the door.
The walk to school was uneventful minus the couple of stares and hushed comments made. All which made my sister either walk a bit faster or want to hide. We finally make it. My legs are killing me; I make a mental note to my self about longer side slits. I know I am not he tallest person hell who am I kidding the only person I am taller than is Yu and grandma Genkai.
"Sakuinun Middle" my sister says looking up at the sign arching over the gateway to the large brick building. " Impressive isn't it Hiei?"
I say nothing. I shrug my shoulder and through the gate. A school is a school it has: teachers, books, and… "Watch it pint-size" gruffs a boy as he bumps in to me, interrupting my thoughts but emphasizing my next point.
"And far to many idiots." I call out to the back of the orange haired Neanderthal.
We are standing the hallway I can hear the teacher introduce us like we were some type of celebrity. We both walk in I whisper dryly to Yu, "What, no intro music?" She immediately starts to giggle. I on the other hand having a reputation to set and when a better time then the present keeps a stoic look on my face.
"Class this is Hiei Ja…." but before she could finish I had already walked past her and sat in a seat as far back as possible next to a dark haired boy, who looks as if he is trying to figure out how in the hell he got stuck in class and the what is best way to get out. He looks over at my and give me a half smile, his brown eyes are completely untamed. I correct myself he isn't looking for the best way just the quickest.
"Hey." I say with a quick head nod. I pull out my notebook and start writing. The teacher is allowed to finish Yu's introductions. I never even look up but I am sure my sister is nothing but smiles, overly polite bows and a stream of thank you. I can hear the teacher's tone change as she resumes her regularly scheduled program, as Yu sits happily in her appointed seat. The words simply drift past me. I figure since Yu is in my class she can take note for me and I can copy them later. I put my head down and think of class no more.
"Hey" the dark haired kid calls me at last I think it is him I didn't see anyone close enough to bother me beside him so can safely deduce that…
"Psst. Hey new kid." he calls again this time with more bit urgency. Why do people always have to talk to you as soon as you try to sleep? I don't even open my eyes.
BANG.
"Young man, if you don't mind it would be nice of you could at least pretend that you are here to learn." The teacher exclaims after she slams her ruler on the desk right in front of my nose. I sit-up completely startled. I snatch the ruler from the teacher hands, stand up, spin around and aim it directly at her throat. It wasn't until I heard a small whimper did I realize what I had done.
"I …I…." I attempt to apologize but the right words aren't coming. I drop the ruler as if it had turned into a venomous serpent. Ashamed of what just happened I shake my head and quickly walk out of class. Yu's eyes and mine meet for a second. Her sorrow is more than apparent.
"Hiei." the teacher calls her voice is mixed emotions surprisingly the most evident is sadness.
I quicken my pace. I have to get out of there. I have to escape those eyes. I hide myself and wished the day to be over. My wish cam in the e form of slumber, uneasy tormented slumber but slumber none the less. As I awoke I could feel the dried tears pulling my skin and the faint smell of… "Cinnamon." I mumble. Blinking radically trying to bring my mind back to the real world.
"You do know, you have been sleeping down here of over two hours." a soft voice beckons.
I open my eyes and see staring back at me the brightest most hypnotic green eyes I have ever seen on a human. I slowly feel myself getting lost in a trance.
"Do you always cry when you sleep?" He asks as his warm finger brushes against my cheek finding the only still moist tear trail.
"Do you always invade other people personal space?" I answer back with a slight sneer.
He sighs as rises to his feet to walk away, "Lunch is soon" he calls back then adds, "Please join us."
The bell rings. I do not join them.
"I don't understand he just I don't know snapped." A familiar female voice sadly bounces off the walls of the stairwell.
On second thought lunch would be good I rationalize not really wanting to face my teacher just yet.
I walk in and in the see of dark hair red most defiantly stands out. I sigh and head on over to the beckon. Either he has spies working for him or he has a very high sixth sense cause before I could clear my throat to announce my arrival. He already telling me he is glad I could make it. I sit down. He smiles. He smiles far too much.
"What does it matter?" our dark hair lunch mate, whom looks extremely familiar ask.
"Pride matters. " exclaims an orange haired one.
Before the debates heats up any more cool heads must prevail. The green-eyed boy clears his throat and like magic silence. He smile again, I want to kick him, just to see if he would smile. "This is…" he starts but before he can get to my name.
"The ninja boy from our class I was telling you about." The brown-haired boy exclaimed wild eyes beaming playfully.
"Aw, you already have a nick name for him, and I waned to call him kitten." A soft alto sings from my right. Each word laced with the intoxicating aroma of cinnamon. After I come out of my spice induced stupor I am taking back by the fact they even had nickname for me, since I hadn't even said they could call me anything other than my given name, but kitten is pushing it way to far.
"My name is Hiei." I state before any more outrageous nicknames come to surface. The other introduce them self accordingly. Yusuke Uremeshi. Kazuma Kuwabara. Shuichi Minamino Yea, I have friends I somberly think to myself. One looks as if he is about ot kick someones ass for sneezing to loudly. The one next to me smiles to damn much and...
"Hey, your that peep squeak I ran over this morning." Kuwabara exclaims proudly once again interupting my thoughts.
Yep, and that one is a fucking idiot.
