"Since we're doing a mouse/rat lab today," the teacher called for attention. "Ahem, everybody?!" she struck the table with a ruler. "This is a very important lab!"
"So?" a boy called out.
"You be quiet!"
"Yeah, yeah."
"This lab is about rat dissection."
"GEEH!" a girl nearby wearing a pink shirt gagged. "RAT?!"
"Yes, that's right, Liz."
"BUT THAT'S YUCKY!!" she complained.
"No it's not."
"...is too." she muttered under her breath.
"I want you to choose groups of five for this assignment." she informed
"But there's only ten people in this class!" a blue haired girl pointed out.
"That's right. You'll have to split the class in half."
The whole class argued about which side should have who.
"EVERYONE BE QUIET~!"
The class stared in her direction.
"I'll choose for you."
The class groaned.
"Okay, Keiko, Liz, Yusuke, Shuuichi, Botan, Mizura." she pointed out the left side of the room. "You're one group." she smiled at the right half. "Kazuma, Nicole, Yukina, Hiei, and Kirishima, you all are on the other group." she turned back to the left side. "You guys can examine the rat by yourselves." she nodded at the other side. "You guys are going to watch me."
"HUUHH!?" Liz complained. "BUT I DON'T WANNA DISSECT A RAAAAAAT!!!!!!!"
"I'll give everyone one (rat), it's a small class anyways."
"NNOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" she fell over.
"Okay, Yusuke, be sure to give everybody one. And, Liz, you pass out the papers to everyone. Do you understand?"
"..." the boy grinned to himself, grabbing the stack of boxes.
"Ugh!" the teacher scowled. "Don't you know anything?! Put on the gloves first!" she pointed out a box of plastic gloves.
"Nicole, give everyone a pair of gloves."
"Okay." Nicole stood up and took the box after the boy had taken his gloves.
"Oy, Kuwa [Nicole]!" Liz called out. "Pass out the papers too."
"What if I don't feel like it!?"
"I don't care if you don't feel like it or not! Just get the papers!" she scowled.
"But I don't feel like it." she mumbled to herself, beginning to pass the papers and gloves around.
"..." she stuck her tongue out.
"Hurry up and begin!" the teacher called out. "You have three class periods to do this! Finish the packet as soon as possible!"
"Hmmm.." the blue haired girl pulled on her gloves. "Well..I..I'm not that good at dissecting things, so..who's going to be dissecting..?"
The group stared at her.
"Ku-Shuuichi?" she blinked at the redhead.
"Huh?" Kurama blinked back. "U..uh..I..I'm not that great at dissecting..either.." he said sheepishly, backing up against the wall. "I..I'll answer the questions..but please don't get me near the rat." he whispered.
"..." she glanced around the group.
"I hate dissecting." Liz announced.
"Me too." Mizura piped in.
"So? You've done it before."
"So have you."
"Not really." she made a face. "My group dissected a cow's eye before." she informed.
"..." Kurama turned a light shade of green and shook his head as Yusuke approached him with the dead rat.
"Isn't it cute?" the other boy questioned, picking it up and swinging it around.
"(Yeah, as cute as you.)" Keiko muttered.
"What?" he brought the rat up to her face. "Nah, I actually think it looks more like you."
"..." steam poured out of her ears. "BAKA YUSUKE!" she slapped him and sent him flying across the room.
"Yusuke!" the teacher complained. "Don't do that! You've just wasted a perfectly good rat!" she sighed, pulling the rat out of a container of some sort of acid.
"Yuck." Liz commented.
"Anyways," she went back to explaining to the other group.
"This sucks."
"..." Mizura made a face. "And we have to run after this. [In P.E. class...]"
"AWWWWW..."
"..." Yusuke stood and brushed himself off, fully recovered. "I'll do the dissecting!" he proclaimed.
"Go ahead."
"You're sure you don't wanna?" he moved over to pester the other boy.
"Y..yes, I'm sure." Kurama replied feebly.
"Okay then." the boy hurried away from him, seeing his friend turn even a brighter shade of green.
"K..Kurama?" Botan questioned. "Are you okay? Maybe you should go to the nurse's office..you're turning green."
"I..I'll be okay." the redhead said softly.
"Okay, then."
"Anyways!" Mizura glanced down at the packet. "It says to cut the rat in half."
"Okay." Yusuke looked around. "Hey, can't someone help?"
"Not me." she stated. "I have the job of reading this."
"Botan!"
"M..me?!" the girl shook her head. "I..I can't..!"
"Keiko!?"
"..." Keiko scowled at him.
"Liz?"
"NOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Liz spazed angrily.
"..." he sweatdropped. "Okay, then."
"Fine, fine." Keiko sighed. "I'll help as long as you don't throw it at me or something."
"That's a good idea."
"Don't even, Yusuke!" she warned.
"Yeah, yeah." he pointed at the rat. "Hold it down while I cut."
"This is sick." Liz commented, covering her eyes.
"Hn." Hiei appeared next to her and she jumped a couple feet into the air.
"AHHHH! What was that for?!"
"Hn." he replied. "(This is stupid.)"
"He can help dissect the rat." Mizura pointed out.
"Oh yeah!" the other girl agreed.
"Hiei!" the teacher turned to him, her hands on her hips. "Come on! We don't have all day!"
"..." the boy glared at her.
"Come on!" she repeated.
"Hn." he rolled his eyes, disappearing.
"AH! HIEI-SAAAMA!?" Nicole cried out. "AWWWWWW, HE LEFT!"
"That's good!" Kuwabara argued. "AHAHAHAHAAHHAHAHAHA!! NO MORE LITTLE SHRIMPY!" he danced around triumphantly.
"Uh...Kuwabara-san." Kirishima raised his eyebrows. "Why are you so happy about him being gone?" he widened his eyes. "Maybe...you're jealous of him and are in love with Rizzardi-san?!" he questioned.
"AAAAHHHHH!" he fell over. "NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO!!!!!! THE GREAT KUWABARA KAZUMA-SAMA IS ONLY IN LOVE WITH THE ONE AND ONLY YUKINA-SAAAAAAN!!!!!" he cavorted around.
"..." the teacher sweatdropped. "Can we get back on task now?"
"Mmm-hmmm." Yukina nodded.
"Whatever YUUUUUUUUKIIINNNNNAAAAAA-SSAAAAAAAANNN says!"
