Demonic Monsters

Chapter 11

Spiritual Trouble

Hiei, Twyla, and Howleen were walking to class, a lot of monsters were turning to look at them oddly, and they knew why, they knew that Hiei and Twyla were dating, somebody talked, and they all had a feeling on who it was that did. Hiei and Twyla ignored the stares directed towards them, a few instances Howleen turned to look at them and glared, even let loose her dark form a little, nobody was staring after that, some looking though.

When they finally got to their class, they saw Yukina sitting right up front, a complete contrast to the crew's standard place at the back, she was talking to a monster named Operetta, a more musically inclined monster. Yukina saw them and waved as they walked through the door, Hiei gave a slight nod of his head but didn't wave back, Twyla gave a nod as well, not wanting to bring more attention to her and Hiei then was already on them, Howleen just gave a small wave.

They headed up to their seats as they waited for class to start, Hiei linked them all up and they began to have a telepathic conversation, they often did this while they waited for classes to begin. "How in the world did they find out, I thought we all talked to everyone that found out, they shouldn't have told anyone," Howleen questioned as a starting point.

"We obviously didn't make it clear enough when we told them what would happen if they told, either that or we didn't make it to one person in time and she didn't bother to tell us that she already told on us," Twyla guessed.

"Calm down, both of you, we obviously got a hold of someone too late, it doesn't even matter which one, the fact that they know is what's important," Hiei commented, in truth though, he did want to know, but knew what took priority.

"My money is on Jinafire, probably got so jealous about your relationship that she sang like a bird to the rest of your fan club, expect heat from that Twyla," Howleen commented.

"Probably, but as Hiei said, it doesn't matter now since they know and since they haven't said anything yet, I'm assuming they are waiting until they get one of us alone or until they get more information," Twyla guessed.

"That makes sense, we'll just have to assume that everyone is going to rush us with questions, be sure to put off an aura of lost patience about yourselves to keep them away," Hiei suggested before they all did so. Some of the people that were about to walk over to ask about the rumors they heard decided not to once they noticed the changing looks on their faces and felt the aura they were feeling, they made the right call.

"Good, that worked, and thanks for teaching me how to do that by the way, I may not be as strong as you two, but I'd at least like to know how to project when I wish to be bothered," Howleen thanked.

"No problem, just doing what's needed for a friend, but let's get back to what we were discussing before," Hiei started before he stopped abruptly and cut the connection all of a sudden and gave them a small headache. He was sensing something he should not be sensing, the detective, the fox, and the fool, he turned back to the other two with a very serious expression, "get ready for our plan, the detective, the fox, and the fool are here."

"Damn, I wasn't expecting that, Howleen, you go to the front of the class and announce what we discussed and as fast as you can, we don't need them to find out about us," Twyla ordered, and the werewolf nodded.

Howleen ran to the front and began to announce in a loud voice to get everyone's attention, "listen up people, there are two people that need the help of all of Monster High, including all of yours."

"Who needs our help, scratch that, it doesn't matter who needs our help, of course you have the help of everyone here," Operetta stated with a smile and fist pump, everyone else nodded in agreement, the mean ones didn't, but was listening.

"Great, I know you all heard the rumors about how Hiei, brother of Draculaura, and Twyla, Daughter of the boogeyman, is dating, and I'm here to tell you that those rumors are true. Now, before you go off and start discussing this, you need to know some things, first off, we all know that Hiei is a demon, one that has made a lot of enemies, a lot of powerful enemies. So, we need your help to go around and tell everyone to keep his relationship with Twyla a secret, she could become a target as soon as word gets out, which leads me to the second thing. We need you to keep the secret from three people coming, at least one will look like a normie, the other two may look like never before seen monsters, two are in fact demon. Twyla has pictures to distribute, in fact she's in the process of sending you photos of them right now," it was after she said this that everyone's icoffins pinged with a message from Twyla.

"Why do we need to hide the fact that the demon is in a relationship with Twyla from these people again," a snobby vampire questioned, this received a glare from a few people in the crowd.

"Because, snobby vampire that has never spoken before now, they might not let the information slip on their own, but a little drug here, a potion there, a serum just for something a little extra, if a truth is known, they can spill it easily enough. Nobody would suspect us since we are all seen as nothing but children in the eyes of other people anyway, so they wouldn't really think to get information out of us. Remember, this is Monster High, we are all family here, and even if some others are rude and crude and a pain in the school's neck, we will fight to protect them, right? So, let us go out there and spread the word to the school, nobody is to say anything to these three people about Hiei and Twyla, the safety of possibly everyone in the school could depend on it," Howleen announced.

Everyone cheered and ran out of the room to inform the rest of the school, this was Monster High, they protect their own, even some of the students who wouldn't usually help, helped. Sure, they would play a prank every now and again, but when it comes to school safety and the safety of everyone else in the school, it was time to get serious and help out family.

Hiei watched the seen with interest, mainly because he didn't know about that particular plan, Twyla and Howleen must have made that plan on their own because they knew that he wouldn't have gone along with it. "Don't make that face, we planned it like this because we knew you wouldn't go along with it, and it was just in case everyone found out," Twyla informed once she saw the narrow of his eyes.

"I realize that, but I never said that I like it, but I will put up with it, if only to ensure your safety, and only if you tell me what other surprises you are hiding," Hiei asked as he glanced over to her, who was on her laptop.

"Nothing for the moment, other than a nice little number I picked out for the next time we go out on a date, if we're ever able to that is," she informed while sending him a smile and a side glance.

"What are you doing now on that thing anyways, didn't you already send out those pictures," he asked since he didn't see any need for her to be on it.

"I'm tracking the trio from camera footage by hacking into the security cameras all over town, I may not be at Ghoulia's level, but I can do some stuff, and they'll be here in thirty minutes," Twyla informed.

"Damn, and here I thought it would be longer, it's time to start the plan," Hiei stated before standing up to go greet the trinity of fools, "I'll be back, tell Draculaura and Yukina where I'll be, love you," he leaned down and gave her a quick kiss before speeding out.

"Love you too," she called out after him, she knew he heard her, so didn't have to worry about that, but she silently hoped that he didn't do anything dangerous, they did not need the attention.

With Hiei

Hiei was speeding to intercept Yusuke, Kurama, and Kuwabara to see why they're here, they weren't supposed to be, especially not the detective since he was going to demon world to train to be Raizen's heir. He was able to see them walking down the street on their way to Monster High when he appeared in front of them, he motioned for an empty lot and they followed after him. When they got there is when Hiei spoke, "what are you doing here, the detective should be in demon world, as should you fox, and the fool should be in Japan."

"Well hello to you too three eyes, I got a little while off from training with my dear old dad for a break, I was able to come see an old friend when I found out that Yukina had gone to visit her brother, you. She neglected to tell us where she was going though, I'll let fox boy explain the rest," Yusuke explained some of the reason they were here.

"I came to see you since you never call, I got a little worried, and to give you an invite to my mother's wedding, she doesn't want any of my friends to be left out," Kurama stated before handing Hiei a letter for the invite. He tore it up on the spot, he doesn't do weddings, "I knew you would do that, which is why I have one to give to Yukina directly with a plus one aimed at you," hence why Hiei hated the fox at times.

"I'm here to see Yukina, that's it, you being her brother doesn't mean jack to me, I'm just a little upset that nobody bothered to tell me," Kuwabara stated out with a pouting scowl.

"That tells me why you are here, even if it is pathetic excuses, but how did you know where we were, and please don't use the fool's red string of love ramblings," Hiei stated bluntly.

"It isn't ramblings, and it's the red pinky string of love, if you're going to mock me, at least do it right," the fool exclaimed before trying to hit the three-eyed demon, he landed face first into the ground from the stunt when the target dodged.

"Regardless, I knew neither you nor Yukina would willingly tell us where you were, so before she left I put a splash of pollen on her that I can track anywhere in the world with my spirit energy," Kurama stated with a small smile.

"Well now that you know where I am, leave, Yukina and I are quite busy with things that do not require your assistance," Hiei began to walk away after that, but stopped when he heard them following him.

When he turned to see why, the detective spoke up, "you know we'll just track Yukina to where ever you two are staying, so just lead us the rest of the way."

Hiei thought about it, they really would just get to the school eventually, either through the fox or the fool's red string trick that he seemed to be able to use, so with reluctance he just moved at their pace, slow. Hopefully by the time they arrived at school it will either be over, or everyone will be let in on the fact that they need to keep the secret, he'll just have to wait and see.

At Monster High

According to Draculaura's group, almost everyone has been informed to keep quiet about everything, Twyla was moving everyone around to make sure every student and staff knew to keep quiet, even Bloodgood agreed. For a very good reason to be sure, the couple had a point, if Hiei's demon enemies knew that he had someone special, she would be targeted and more than likely killed to cause him grief. Therefore, the best way that she and the other students could protect her, and themselves from the wrath of both the boogeyman and Hiei in a fit of rage, was to pretend like the relationship was not there while the spirit detective trio was here.

"Clawdeen, where are we on locating Hiei's fan club, are they going to keep quiet or not," Twyla asked the wolf over the phone, she was trying to locate the club with her nose since it never stayed in the same place long.

"I've found them, and they agreed as long as each of them get a lock of his hair," Clawdeen informed shakily, and no way was she going to talk about what else she saw in there, it was too psycho for her, way to psycho.

"Okay, you can inform him of that since you made the deal, but at least they're on board, Draculaura, where are we with the vampires," she asked the petite vampire since she basically had the people in a group chat.

"Very well, most of all of them agreed, at least the queen bees and king jocks did, those that haven't will be kept in line by the others," Draculaura spoke in all business, this was to protect family after all.

"Good, Clawd, how are things with the werewolves," Twyla asked, it seems like she really was in charge of getting the whole school on the same page, it felt really weird to be calling the shots like in her experienced memories.

"Great, they all agreed to keep quiet, saying that the pack was life and all of Monster High was their pack, it was a wonderful experience to see," Clawd replied, he was a little moved to tears, but he wasn't going to tell her that.

"Wonderful, meet up with Deuce in the gym to help convince the rest of the casketball team, he's having a little trouble and Cleo isn't helping things," Twyla ordered, and the wolf complied, "Toralei, how are we with the werecats?"

"I have them all wrapped around my finger, not a single one has refused to keep the secret, I threatened them with the worst, and you don't want to know what that means," Toralei purred out.

"Okay, not even going to try and ask, Headmistress, how are we with the staff, are you and Frankie making headway," she asked the duo, some of the staff members are being difficult to find and convince.

"We finally found them all and managed to convince them to keep the secret, I didn't know that they were so fine with letting students get hurt for their own amusement, so strange," Frankie commented to her.

"As long as it's dealt with then it's fine, I think that's everyone covered, ghosts are all on board, zombies have moaned out a yes, all the various ghouls are keeping the secret, and all the clubs are accounted for." Twyla listed off to herself as she saw everyone working to tell everyone about the secret they need to keep, everyone seemed to be on board, some with conditions to be sure, but on board none the less.

"Twyla, we have a problem, Andy Beast is feeling too agitated with the various negative demon energies coming this way, one was fine, but with so many coming this way it's making him start to freak out," Robecca called to her.

"Why are you telling me, I'm just dealing with making sure nobody tells our secret so that we don't get separated through anything, why are you telling me about Andy," Twyla asked, was she being seen as a leader of everything right now.

"I actually don't have the foggiest, just seemed like the right thing to do with everything going on," the robot admitted, this was just getting too weird for the boogey monster now.

"Fine, he seems to have a small crush on Yukina, probably because of her positive demon energy, don't ask what I mean about that, just go tell Yukina I said to sing to him, talk him down, hell she can even kiss him if that helps. Don't tell any of the detectives I ordered you to do this though, one of them has a crush on her and thinks he has a shot," she ordered, and the robot nodded before dashing off to do as she was ordered, Twyla could get use to this.

"Twyla, they're almost to the front door," Howleen told her friend, she had been given Kuwabara's scent to track a little while ago, something Yukina had on her that he had given her, so she could track the group.

"Alright, everyone is in position and ready for all of this to play out, we just need for them to come in, check things out, and then leave like they were never here," Twyla planned before the doors to the school opened and in came the demons.

Hiei's group

Hiei led the spirit detectives through the front door of the school as they all stared agape at the size of the place, it was like a mansion the likes of which they never saw before, except for Tarukane's compound, but this was different to that. The school to them was amazing, mainly because the outside looked nothing like what the inside looked to be able to fit, just wait until they see the catacombs underneath the school.

Yusuke gave a whistle to the place before saying, "got to say Hiei, never thought that you'd go to school over any circumstances, let alone because of some cover for peace between monsters and spiritual beings."

"I never thought he'd become a dignitary of any type, let alone for you guys' species, don't really think I belong here though," Kuwabara said before he spotted a dork with glasses, the kid's name was Jackson Jekyll, counterpart is Holt Hyde.

"See there seems to be some normal people in this school, it seems you were worried for nothing Kuwabara," Kurama commented before they saw said normal person put his music player in his ears and turned into Holt, "never mind."

"You are half right actually, he's part human and part monster, what you saw was him turning into his monster side, took me a while to get used to as well," Hiei informed them and watched their shocked faces.

"I never thought I'd see the day when you would tell us anything other than a maybe, 'be silent fool,' or something like that," Yusuke said as he did his best Hiei impersonation, it was atrocious.

"Remember that Hiei is working on peace here, he must have learned the ways of the mouth better than you give him credit for," Kurama suggested as they passed his sister, Draculaura's classroom, the teacher gave her a silent nod and allowed her to say hello.

"Hiei, wait up and introduce me to your friends," Draculaura voiced as she reached them, she thought that maybe she could help guide them since Hiei didn't know everything about Monster High like she did.

"They are not friends, they're more like guests here to see Yukina and invite her to a wedding of some sort, and no, you cannot go, you still have school to make up from your last adventure," Hiei stated before she could ask.

"Fine, are they staying long or are they going to need to find somewhere to sleep," she asked as they began walking with the other three watching how they interacted with each other, it was actually like watching a messed-up brother and sister sitcom.

"They will not be staying the night here, they'll have plenty of time to make it back to Japan after the letter to Yukina is delivered, am I right," Hiei said while taking a glance back at the group behind them.

"I actually have to get back to demon world and dear old dad to train some more, so I can only stay for the day and I'm out of here tonight," Yusuke said nervously, you can say a lot of things about him, but he does not get into family disputes.

"I was hoping to stay with Yukina and spend some time with her a little, can't we stay a little bit longer, I'm sure they can even open the demon world portal here even," Kuwabara whined before he got a look from everyone, "fine, we'll leave today."

They finally got to the door where Yukina's classroom was, it was his own class, but he wasn't going to let them know that, too bad the teacher was there right now, "aw, mister Hiei, glad you could join us, who are your friends," Mr. Hackington the mad science teacher said.

"They are demons and a normie from Japan, just came by to give a letter to Yukina and then they'll be gone," Hiei said while making his way to the back and sitting next to Gory Fangtell because sitting next to his friends would be to suspicious.

"Here Yukina, this is for you, mother wanted you to be able to come to her wedding, so she sent me to give this to you personally, Hiei already destroyed his, but you do have a plus one, so you can bring him if you wish," Kurama explained as he handed her the invite.

"They look like normies, what kind of demons look like normies, at least Hiei has that third eye to make him look less normie-like," Manny, a minotaur that was to stuck on looking like a normie or a monster to notice anything.

Kurama and Yusuke's response was to turn into their demon forms, and just like that, dozens of girls in the class got massive nose bleeds from looking at Kurama in his Yoko form and some even got them looking at Yusuke's demon form.

Everyone else looked at Kuwabara hoping he would change into a form less ugly, which made Hiei comment, "sorry, he's just a normie that can't get any better than that, if he did, he'd turn out worse," that made everyone bow their heads in disappointment.

"Hey, I'm good looking, watch your mouth Hiei before I watch it for you," Kuwabara warned, unluckily for him though, members of his fan club were in the class and began to beat on him, the teacher found it entertaining, so he didn't say anything.

"Hiei, did you threaten those girls into beating him up for your enjoyment, because that's the only way I can think of them beating him so badly," Yusuke commented before a fire burned him on his butt.

When they followed the stream, they found Jinafire at the end of it, "they are members of his fan club, and I am its president, they attack anyone who disrespects our great Hiei so, and will do anything for him," she said and snuck a glance at Twyla in the back.

"You mean the pip squeaks actually got himself a fan club, what the hell, has the world turned upside down or something," Kuwabara exclaimed while he was still getting beat on by some of the girls in the fan club, that just made the beating worse.

"No, ugly one, Hiei is known as the dark prince of Monster High and by far the best possible mate for any one of the monsters such as myself, but sadly, he has rejected all of our advances, I came to ask you more about him," Jinafire informed.

"Hold on a minute, let me adjust to the fact that Hiei actually has a fan club first, then let me vomit after I adjust, then I'll tell you what I can," Yusuke said as he took a seat on the floor to think over Hiei having a fan club, he couldn't see it at all. That was when he through his hands up in the air in frustration, "nope, can't see three eyes with a fan club, can't process it, can't see it, can't imagine it, hell, I can't even hear of it without wanting to vomit."

"Well, he is a competent warrior, skilled fighter, has power over flames, proficient with a sword, has tracking abilities that would put many other to shame, won't fight without honor, and most of all is quite handsome," Kurama listed off without thinking.

"Okay, now it sounds like you're flirting, are you buttering him up to ask him out or something," Yusuke asked out with a face that said, 'what the hell man', and the teacher was barely holding in his laughter, clearly on the verge of losing it.

"If he wants me too, I'm nice like that," Kurama retorted with a teasing smile that made many in their classroom audience faint, the fox was really pushing his luck while being here.

"Now that you fools have done what you've come here to do, leave and don't come back unless invited," Hiei ordered with a glare directed at them for good measure, it didn't seem to work because they weren't moving.

"What if we say no, you seem really eager to get rid of us, why's that, I think you're hiding something and want us out of your hair for either hanky panky time with a new friend, or just embarrassed of us," Yusuke asked with a small grin.

"Neither, well, the second one is true, but I just want you to leave for the sake of my sanity," Hiei reasoned before leaning back and closing his eyes to wait for them to leave so he can get back to sitting with his friend and girlfriend.

"Not likely, if Hiei was really with someone, or had friends, he wouldn't want us to know about them, he'd ensure that during our visit that he sits in a different seat than usual, more than likely to throw off suspicion that we may get as to who he was sitting with. I believe the vampire that he's sitting beside feels uncomfortable, but given how much time Hiei has spent here, and if that really was the seat he would sit in every day, she would have grown more comfortable as time passed, that is not the case though. Also, every so often, the president of his fan club gives the two people in the back a frown and slight fear in the eyes of the president, the fear one would get if Hiei had threatened them, so care to explain, Hiei, or should I give my own theory," Kurama offered.

"I think you should give your own theory regardless, I'm kind of lost on what all this would mean anyways so skip to the point," Kuwabara exclaimed, was it too much to ask for people to be straight with him, he doesn't have that big of a brain.

"I might as well, the two sitting in the back, the werewolf and the girl with pastel green hair, they are his friends, the werewolf has above average spirit energy than anyone else here, the pastel green haired one has high B-class spirit energy, almost A-class. I assume that the green haired one has been his friend longest and Hiei has trained her longer than the werewolf, who he has befriended recently and started to train as well, which is why the green haired one has spirit energy higher than anyone else here. That in of itself would not tell us why the president looks at them with fear though, but my theory on that is simple, the green haired girl is very close to Hiei, so close that the president done something and the girl threatened the president," Kurama guessed.

"Since you've already figured most of it out, I might as well tell you what she threatened me with, Twyla, the green haired girl, used her power over shadows to make a sword and pointed it to my womb, you can fill in the rest," Jinafire informed.

"I know why you threatened the president Twyla, but why go to such extremes," Astranova asked the boogie monster, she was new to their class and also new to the club, why she was attracted to him, only she knew and never told anyone.

Twyla remained silent, she knew that if she talked, she'd say something that would spill the big secret, if they thought that the three were friends then that was fine, as long as they don't suspect them as being a couple then they had a chance to get out intact. Howleen remained silent as well, if she started to defend her friends at all, she wouldn't be able to stop herself and might let loose some info that they didn't want released, but the only way to get them to leave was to say something, but it might do more harm.

Luckily for the both of them, Yukina decided to answer for them, "they had a very bad day that day, I had just gotten there and didn't bother to tell them, on top of that, they had just gotten back from a trip that sounded life or death."

"That would just about do it, especially if Hiei's personality imprinted on them during training, pretty understandable reaction to me," Yusuke answered, he had another feeling that they were all lying, but chose to ignore it, it was their business.

"That's true, along with their individual skill level, I've been working on controlling their emotions, but Yukina's visit was a surprise visit, so on that day Twyla overreacted and made a threat that sounded too much like me, are you satisfied now," Hiei asked.

"I'm somewhat satisfied, but it's getting close to our departure time, so as much as I'd like to stay longer and interrogate you further, we need to make our flight back to Japan," Kurama suggested before they all said their goodbyes and left.

Hiei moved back over to sit next to his girlfriend and friend while saying, "it's about time they're gone, I was fixing to walk out of class in the hopes they would get the message to leave or I would."

"I'm glad you didn't, now that the disruption to class is over, EVERYONE SIT DOWN AND STOP INTERRUPTING MY BLOODY LESSON," the teacher yelled and everyone immediately sit down and shut up so he could teach without interruption.
