(Kinsey: Thank you, PyscoticBladeKitty for adding this story to her favs on fnafiction.net and for reviewing it! I greatly appreciate it.)
Jin and Touya sat on the couch, Koriko and Kurama sat on the `love seat', Hiei of course sat on the windowsill and you decided to take the floor.
Jin was the first to speak, “So, how'd you ladies get tied up in all o dis' angel business?”
Touya looked equally as curious, Hiei just stared out the window and Kurama turned to Koriko motioning her to answer.
“Well, we've studied things like this for years, only recently have we found out that most of it was true, thanks to Sakyo. -Insert name- and I met up when we were about 12 or 13, although both of us had a attachment to the supernatural.”
You smiled, remembering when you first met Koriko, she wasn't that different then she was now. The first real conversation she and you had was about Yu Yu Haksuho, but neither of you could tell the boys about that.
“Oh, so were you two in school together,” Kurama inquired, smiling.
“No, I was home schooled, we met over the Internet, and then we got into public high school together,” You answered.
“Like a chat room?” Jin asked with a goofy grin on his face.
“No, an anime website.”
“What do you think you're doing?”
“I'm telling the truth, we don't have to tell them what anime.”
Koriko looked back towards Kurama after the argument.
“So, you're Otaku?” You turned your head, shocked and impressed, that Hiei knew the term and had figured it out.
“And proud of it!” You answered with a smile, you were glad that he was talking to you, but you could tell he probably thought you were weird from saying that.
“Ah, so that's why you both are interested in the supernatural.” Kurama looked extremely surprised, he probably would've never guessed it from the way Koriko acted.
“Somewhat, I wouldn't say I'm that obsessed about anything” she replied.
“I think there's nothing wrong with it,” you meekly defended yourself. You didn't like to fight or argue, but you seem to be doing that a lot lately, along with lying.
“Well fightin' anime an' games are pretty good, I enjoy `em!” Jin exclaimed as he made the hand motions for playing with a Nintendo controller.(Kinsey: Nintendo 64, old school baby! XD)
Touya scoffed, “Oh hush! You're jus' jealous `cuz I beat you up in them games!” Touya ignored Jin's last comment.
“So, what else do you girls enjoy?” Kurama asked to get off the one subject he didn't know much about.
“It doesn't really matter, but I like to paint.” Koriko said, taking another bit of a pocky stick.
“That's nice. So how about you, -insert name-?”
“Well… I'm not very good at anything, I like to write and I've started to practice archery and swordsmanship, but physical things aren't really my forte.” Hiei chuckled hearing you say you were learning swordsmanship.
“I'm surprised that you haven't hurt yourself.”
“Who says that I haven't? I just haven't hurt myself severely.” You crossed your arms over your chest and looked proud at winning that argument, Hiei just starred back at you.
“Yeah, I'm much better with weapons than she is, I've been training longer,” Koriko stated.
“I'd love to see it,” Kurama said to her, a sweet smile on his face.
Koriko acted as if she didn't care, “Whatever.”
“And I'd like to see -insert name- not hurt herself while holding a sword.” Hiei poked fun at you, but you heard an underlying meaning, he wanted you to protect yourself better.
You couldn't help but ask, “Would you like to teach me?”
Nobody said a word, everyone else looked from you to Hiei, then back and forth. They had no idea what Hiei would say, they expected an out-right refusal, but Hiei hadn't said anything yet.
You were starting to get nervous, *Maybe I shouldn't have asked him outloud. I should've gotten him alone, stupid-stupid-STUPID!” You mentally yelled at yourself, you wanted to say something to take it back, brush it off as a joke, but you couldn't. You were still wishing that he would say-.
“Sure.”
Your breath caught.
“What?”
“I said sure, I have nothing else better to do. I'd probably be more amused than anything, but if you get on my nerves or you're too weak, I'll stop.”
You felt like jumping up and down with joy, running all over the place and hugging Hiei. However, you knew that it was a horrible idea, so you just grinned and mentally gave yourself a high five.
“Thanks.”
“Hn.”
“My, that was very generous of you, Hiei.” Kurama was yet again dumbfounded by his oldest partner's actions.
Touya and Jin seemed equally dumbfounded; they just nodded their heads in agreement with Kurama.
Koriko smirked.
“I think it's about time we left, Jin.” Touya stood up.
“Aw, do we haveta' go now?” Jin whined as he joined Touya.
“You don't have to rush,” Kurama said, standing as well.
“I know, but the others are waiting for us back at Genkai's. It's our night to clean the dishes.”
“An' who knows if they'd ge' done withou' us,” mumbled Jin glumly, he was clearly enjoying himself earlier.
“Feel free to come back anytime, have a safe trip home.” Kurama escorted them to the door.
However, before Jin left, he flew, unnecessarily, over to you and gave you a hug.
“Hope tha' person forgives ya', I know I would.” Jin winked at you and turned to leave out the front door.
You sat there, stunned. “Well, I didn't think that was going to happen.” You quickly looked over to Hiei, his face was distorted by the incoming shadow from the tree out front, but he seemed to be glaring daggers at Jin. You couldn't help that you were happy, Hiei was jealous.
After the duo left, Hiei and Kurama waked over to you both.
“If I'm not mistaken, -insert name- hasn't had a tour of the house yet.” Koriko stood up and walked towards Kurama, a smirk still on her face.
Kurama got the hint, but neither you nor Hiei did.
“She hasn't, has she? Well Hiei, how about you show her around while I take Koriko shopping for some more groceries,” Kurama asked him while he started tp hand Koriko her jacket.
“I can get it myself, thanks,” Koriko said, but her voice showed that she was thankful.
“What? I thought you just bought some,” Hiei looked slightly confused, now you started to understand their motive.
They wanted you and Hiei alone, in the house, at dusk, the thoughts kept repeating in your mind until Hiei snapped you out of it. They other two had just left. You started to feel incredibly anxious, “What should I do?”
“This house isn't that hard to figure out. You know where the kitchen is, the living room, and Kurama's room. Mine's right beside his, yours is across from mine and Koriko's is beside yours. There are two bathrooms, one at the end of the hall upstairs, and one near the kitchen. The back door is in the same hallway as the extra bathroom.” After saying that, Hiei walked back into the kitchen and opened the freezer.
With nothing else to do, you followed him.
“Do you like ice cream?” Hiei asked, knowing he was being watched.
“Yes, I love sweet snow!” You also loved calling it that after reading oh-so many HxK fanfics.
He gave you a weird look, “I've never heard it called that before.”
“Oh, well, it's uber fun to say.”
He shook his head, a faint smile on his lips. He pulled out two bowls, two spoons and a ice cream scupper.
“What flavor is it,” You asked.
“Chocolate.”
“My favorite,” You smiled.
“Hm, same.” Hiei murmured quietly, you could barely hear it.
“How much,” he asked.
“Only a little, I'm lactose.”
“Allergic to dairy?” Hiei raised his eyebrows; giving a second thought of letting, you have some.
“Oh it's fine, I take pills to digest the dairy for me.” You mentally hit yourself; you left them in your other world, at your house, in the medicine cabinet.
He didn't reply-instead he just scooped out two scoops for you, and three for him.
He handed you your bowl and spoon, “Thanks.”
“No problem.”
You both sat down across from each other, you wanted to move closer, but that might seem suspicious.
You both ate in silence, but after the first scoop of ice cream, you didn't want anymore. Eating with other people made you nervous because you were a sloppy eater, and since Hiei was sitting so close to you, it made your stomach full of butterflies.
He already finished his three scoops, “Are you going to finish that?”
You looked up, “No, you can have it if you want.” You thought he had a concerned look on his face, but it was only a flicker.
He stood up and put his bowl in the sink, he then sat beside you and took your bowl, along with your spoon.
You starred, “Oh-my-goodness! Is he actually going to eat that, right after me, with my spoon? It's like an indirect kiss!”
You were so excited that you didn't notice that he was done eating, and was again face-to-face with you.
“What?”
“Oh, sorry, I didn't mean to stare.” You looked away, embarrassed again.
You tried to pick up the bowl to clean up, but Hiei's hands stopped you.
“Are you serious?”
“About what?”
“Me teaching you swordsmanship.”
“Yes, I'd love for you to teach me.”
He paused, still holding your hand, “Love?”
Your blush deepened you and your stupid mouth.
He stood with your hand in his, you both were about the same height, but his hair was much taller.
You both were close again, just as you two were upstairs, when he was holding you up.
Your heart started to pound in your chest, it drowned out every other noise, except for your hard breathing.
You automatically closed your eyes; to you it felt like he was getting closer to you.
It wasn't your imagination; Hiei released your hand to put both of his onto your shoulders.
Your breath hitched, “I can't believe it! My first kiss is going to be with Hiei!”
Nevertheless, the touch never came, “Open your eyes,” he demanded.
It was tough, but you obeyed. His nose was touching yours; your bodies were close, but not close enough.
“What do you want me to do?” Hiei asked a look in his eye that you've never seen before.
You stuttered, “K-ki-kissm-ma-me.” You barely got the request out when he planted a butterfly kiss on your cheek.
Perfect timing as always, Kurama and Koriko walk back in at that moment. Both of them lose hold of their grocies and they slam to the ground.
