Hiei Makes a Scene
Chapter 16

Falling in Koenma office, Gold lands on her head. “Owe, that's smart.” The rest of the gang lands on their feet. Gold rubs her head, “Yep, there goes my pride.”

They laugh as she rubs her head. “Is everyone ok?” Koenma asks.

“Yea, if you don't count all the times I've been stabbed by Hiei.” Remembering her adventure at the castle.

“What!” Yusuke yells while glaring at Hiei. “Hiei I thought you would have taken care of Gold!”

“It's not my fault she can't summon her energy on her own. She's useless.”

Gold tries not to let that get to her. “So the mission is over.” She says in relief. A nurse walks in the room. “Gold let me bandage you up. Follow me.” Gold and Hiei follow her out of the room. Gold manages to yell something to Yusuke, “Don't talk about anything `til I get back.” Bandaging up Gold, the nurse asks about the mission and Gold tell her everything that happened. Five minutes later, the nurse is finished and they return to Koenma's office.

“…And that's what happened.” Yusuke says while Gold and Hiei enter.

“Wow, you've gone through so much on your mission. If Hiei and Gold were there, they would have screwed it up. You did a great job.. Oh Gold, are you all bandaged up?” Koenma asks.

“I thought I told you not to talk `til I got back!” Gold yells.

“Oh sorry Gold, I don't feel like repeating myself.” Yusuke says as Gold whines. Yusuke can't keep a straight face for long, he starts bursting out laughing. “Gold, we are just kidding. I knew you were coming so I said `and that's what happened'. Koenma, Kurama, and Kuwabara were in it, too. I don't think Hiei really cared that much, so I didn't worry about him. But if you want to know what happened I'll tell you.”

~* Flashback *~

Gold and Hiei walk through the tunnel to the left, Yusuke screams, “Good Luck!” But Gold doesn't hear. Kurama, Yusuke, and Kuwabara walk in the right.

The tunnel is dark and spooky. Not that far in the tunnel, a gust a wind blows behind them, knocking Kuwabara on the ground. Torches on each side slowly begin to light, revealing a little child. The child looks about ten years old. More children come into the light. The children are even younger than the first. The children have guns in their hands that are capable of shooting and killing the most powerful and fastest of demons. Kurama realizes this and he also realizes that these are the children under control from the two evil demons. So he tells Yusuke and Kuwabara not to harm them. “That's a good choice Kurama.” Sakurania says with telepathy. “I know you wouldn't attack if I used my telepathy with the children.”

“Ok, so what do we do now them, Kurama? If we can't fight them and we can't kick this demon's ass.” Yusuke asks.

“There is only one way to defeat me.” Sakurania answers. “You have to take a test.”

“Aw shit, I'm screwed. I can't take tests.” Yusuke interrupts.

“It's not a knowledge test. It's a test of riddles. You have to answer 4 out of 5 riddles correctly and do a physical challenge.” Sakurania explains.

“What did this turn into, a game show?” Yusuke says. “Fine, we accept. We will win this because we have Kurama on our side. Now if it were just Kuwabara and I, we would have had a problem.”

“Ok let's begin then, shall we? Here is your first riddle — `I don't have eyes, but once I did see. Once I had thought, but now I'm white and empty.'”

Kurama thinks hard for the answer. Kuwabara and Yusuke are dumbfounded. “Ah, I got the answer,” Kurama says.

Before Kurama says the answer, Sakurania says, “Oh yea I forgot to mention, you only get one answer per riddle.”

Kurama continues, “The answer is a skull.” Kurama says with confidence.

Sakurania looks angry, “You may have gotten one right, but we still have four more to go — `A plane crashes on the border-line of an opening between Demon World and Living World. Where do you bury the survivors?”

Yusuke is about to answer but Kurama says, “You don't bury survivors.” Yusuke realizes that unless it was murder you don't bury survivors. He thanks Kurama for stepping in.

“These are just warm up riddles.” Sakurania says in anger. “ `The more you take the more you leave behind.' ”

Kurama thinks hard about this but Kuwabara answers for him, “Money!” Kurama and Yusuke try to stop him, but said it already.

Sakurania laughs, “Too bad for you. You were two for two, but this you screwed it up. The answer was footsteps.”

“Damn it Kuwabara.” Yusuke screams.

“Ok next — `The builder doesn't need me. The buyer doesn't use me. The user doesn't want me. Who am I?' ”

Kurama says right away, “A coffin.”

“Damn you! But all you need is the last one and then I'm defeated.” Sakurania says in a calm tone. Kurama notices that she's too calm. He wonders about how she can be so calm when they have the upper hand, there is only one question left and they have been good so far so why is she still calm. “Ok the next riddle is — `this thing runs, but never walks, sometimes sings but never talks. Lacks arms, has hands; lacks a head but not a face.' ”

Kurama ponders this. “Runs but doesn't walk, sings but never talks. Lacks arms, has hands. Lacks a head but has a face…” he paces back and forth saying this out loud to himself.

As he repeats it to himself, Yusuke starts to do the same. After a minute of him repeating it, Yusuke gets an idea, “It's a Grandfather Clock!” he screams.

Sakurania looks so surprised “I didn't think you'd get that one. Damn it. Ok well the physical challenge is you all have to stick out your tongue and touch your forehead.”

Simultaneously, Kurama, Kuwabara, and Yusuke stick their tongue out and touch their forehead with one of their hands. “Ok now that this ridiculous riddle thing is over and you are defeated, release the children under your spell.”

“Ok, Ok. Fine, here are your children.” She pauses. And instead of Sakurania's voice, a litle child's voice speaks, “thank you, everybody. Sakurania is not longer in my body. We are free from her control.”

“Really.” Yusuke says in relief.

Sakurania's voice comes back, “Nah, I'm just screwing with you! There is no way to beat me!” She laughs evilly then disappears.

“Damn!” Yusuke yells while punching the wall. “She was just screwing with us. That damn bitch! I'll kill her! She made me think when I wasn't in school. Oh she'll pay for that!”

Kurama gets an anime sweat drop and Kuwabara says “Well, at least you got one right.”

“Come on, let's get moving.” Kurama interrupts them. “Now that she showed up, I feel her energy.” They run down the hall. After a while Kurama stops feeling Sakurania's energy and says, “Gold and Hiei must have defeated Sakurania. So there is only one more left — Mononoke!” They continue their journey until they feel a gigantic power coming from the door. They rush in and see Gold and Hiei and Mononoke. They watch Gold shoot the arrow that hits Mononoke and Gold falls to one knee. They rush over and Yusuke asks, “You ok?”

“Yea, I just can't move.” Yusuke helps Gold up and she stumbles. Before they know it the loud speaker comes on and it says they have 30 seconds before this place self-destructs. They look around and see a window and jump through it into the portal

~* End Flashback *~

“So that's what happened.” Yusuke says.

“So she was just toying with you. You're lucky. She took control of Hiei and I saved the day.” Gold says as the gang laughs, except Hiei. Hiei walks away dragging Gold. “Hey. Where are you going?” Hiei walks through the door but Gold stops him outside. “What is your problem?” Hiei just looks the other way. “Oh yea I forgot. You don't like to talk!” Gold grabs his face and makes him look at her, waiting a minute for him to respond. Hiei says nothing. Gold punches him in the face. “Do I have to beat the carp out of you?”

Hiei looks at her. Blood is dripping out of the side of his lips. He licks the blood off. “Did that feel good? Are you happy you got that off your chest?”

“No!” Gold yells, “I'll kick your ass you bitch!” She throws a punch, but Hiei catches it with his hand. He pulls her hand making her come into him. He brings her into an unexpected kiss. Gold's eyes widen with shock. Hiei is kissing Gold. It makes no sense. Why would Hiei the cold, heartless, asshole kiss her. Gold calms down and closes her eyes and kisses him back. Gold and takes the hand that punched him and puts it on his back to embrace him. They end the kiss. “What was that for?” Hiei turns his head again. Gold turns it back and they stare at each other's eyes. Gold looks worried because she really doesn't know why he kissed her, why she kissed him back, why can't she stop blushing, and why Hiei is not saying anything.

From behind the doorway Gold heard laughter. She hears Yusuke and Kuwabara and Koenma laughing. Hiei unsheathes his sword and chases after Yusuke. Gold tries to stop him. While Yusuke is running, he laughs and says, “Ok, ok I'm sorry for laughing at you, Gold. I didn't mean to laugh when Hiei was kissing you.” Yusuke says while laughing more.

“Well, Yusuke, at least I get more action then you.” Gold says. That shuts him up. Gold laughs at him because he took it seriously. “Oh, come on I'm not that much of an asshole. You're my brother. I can't help that your girlfriend is a prude. Ha! Just kidding, I love Kayko she's going to be my sister-in-law. Right?”

“Gold, are you on drugs or something?” Yusuke asks, as his sister bounces around the place.

“Nope, just very hyper and happy”

“It looks to me that Gold is in love with Hiei.” Kurama observes. Gold's face is filled with embarrassment. She's also surprised that Kurama said that.

Hiei looks at Gold with shock that she's so embarrassed. “Awe, look. Hiei loves Gold, too.” Kuwabara adds to Kurama's statement. Hiei tenses his arm and in rage he unsheathes his sword. Hiei is about to attack Kuwabara, but Gold grabs his hand in an act to stop him.

“Hiei, it's just a joke.” Gold pauses, waiting for Hiei to sheath his sword. Hiei does so and walks to the door with Gold. “I'll see you back at the house later.” Gold says before here walks out the door. A portal appears and Hiei walks through it. It takes Gold and Hiei to a street near the park that is vacant. At the park, Hiei and Gold sit on the swings. Gold starts to swing, “Hiei, why did you get so protective when they said you love me? Oh yea, and this is a obvious question, why did you kiss me?” Hiei just `hn's at her. Gold stops swinging, “Please, Hiei, why did you kiss me?”

Changing the subject, Hiei says, “We should get home, you have school tomorrow.” Hiei gets up, but Gold doesn't budge.

She pulls on the chain, “Stop changing the subject. Why did you kiss me?” Gold screams.

“Do you really want to know?”

Sarcastically, Gold says, “No, I've just been asking because I don't care.”

“Fine, if you don't care then I won't tell you.”

“Jackass, you know, I regret letting you kiss me!” Gold gets up and walks home. Hiei follows her. The walk home is silent. They both hated each other at this point.

When they get home, they walk through the door. Yusuke and Kuwabara stare at them as they enter. They see Gold and Hiei miserable. As the person who doesn't care, Kuwabara asks, “Did you kiss some more and have a romantic date?”

Gold irritably says to Kuwabara, “Go kill yourself!” And then her and Hiei walk into her room. Yusuke would have said something, but he sensed that they didn't have a good time.

Gold gets dressed and then they sit on her couch. Hiei falls asleep quite fast while Gold was trying to fall asleep. She hears a faint knock on her door. “Yes” she says.

“Can I come in?” Yusuke asks. Gold says yes and he sits on her couch. “I'm sorry about laughing at you before.”

Gold smiles, “Thanks, its ok, but you don't have to apologize to me. I understand.”

“I could tell that you and Hiei got into a fight after you left. I hope it had nothing to do with me, Kurama, or Kuwabara.” Yusuke says.

“No. Never. I know you guys were joking. It's just; he's so hard headed. He won't share his emotions and when he does, they get so confusing. I don't even know if he likes me or not. I think he hates me.” She says in a disappointed tone.

“I don't think that he hates you. If he did then he wouldn't be sleeping right next to you.” He looks at the time. “Ah, shit! If I don't go to sleep in the next ten minutes, I won't wake up and Kayko will kick my ass, Goodnight.”

“Night, Yusuke. Thanks for making me feel better.” Yusuke leaves.

“You know, Yusuke's right. Hiei doesn't hate you.” Kurama appears at her window. “I've known Hiei the longest and he's not very good at expressing his thoughts. No guy is good at expressing how they feel, especially to a woman.” Kurama jumps through he window and takes a seat next to Gold.

“Then how are you telling me all of this if guys aren't good at expressing feeling? Are you really a woman under all of that?” They both laugh.

“Guys find other ways to express themselves.” Kurama explains to Gold.

“You know, I should have never tried to figure out a guy who won't even tell his sister that he is her brother.”

“Well, he has his reasons that he doesn't want to tell her.”

“Do you know, Kurama?” Gold asks out of curiosity.

“He never talks about his past. I mean we all have secrets.”

“You know, men are stupid. Can't they say what's on their mind so people don't have to guess? Kurama, you're a guy, why are men stupid? Why don't they say what's on their mind? Why do they keep things bottled up? It's going to kill off the men of this world and then we'll free of the men and their weird feelings that they don't share.” Gold says with joy somehow.

Kurama is a little surprised about Gold's destruction of men speech. “Gold, some men can share their feelings.”
“Kurama, You're the only one and all women are going to have to mate with you to reproduce and save the human race.” Shocked that Gold says that, Kurama is speechless. “So can I be the first one to mate with you? Hehehe. Kurama, calm down, it's a joke.”

“I know, that was just so surprising you said that.” Kurama can finally some up some words to respond to her.

Gold yawns. “Awe, damn. I think I have to go to school tomorrow. So I guess I'll see you later, Kurama. Goodnight.” She gives him a kiss on the cheek. “Thanks”

Kurama blushes. Kurama goes to the window and Gold puts her head down. “Goodbye, Gold. Whenever you need someone to talk to, you can always talk to me. I'll listen.” He leaves through the window and Gold falls asleep.

Kurama arrives in his room and lies on his bed. ~Hiei, I think you should share your feelings with Gold, Why don't you tell her you love her?~ Kurama says through telepathy.

~Fow, Shut up. I don't tell you how to live your life.~ Hiei answers.

~She had the right to know.~ Kurama replies.

~So then you don't you tell her you like her.~ Hiei snaps back,

~Hiei, just tell her.~

~So you're not denying it. So you really do like her. Why are you being a hypocrite? If you tell me to tell her and you don't even tell her when you like her then you're just being hypocritical.~

~ Hiei, she is one of my best friends. If you hurt her I will show no mercy. She's an innocent girl that wants to know that the man she likes, likes her back.~ Kurama expresses.

~Fox, are you threatening me? Well, I guess you're mad because you're only Gold's fuck buddies.~

~Hiei, if she feel even the tiniest bit of sadness, because of you I will-~

Hiei cuts him off ~You will what, Kurama. You will torture me and make me apologize. `Oh Gold, I'm so sorry; I didn't tell you how I feel about you. I'm sorry I made you feel sad. Please forgive me.'~

~This isn't a joke Hiei.~ Kurama gets so angry, he closes off the connection between Hiei and himself. He spends the rest of the night contemplating why Hiei was such a jackass.

Hiei falls asleep shortly after the conversation.
