Yu Yu Hakusho Fan Fiction ❯ Fantasy and Reality Collide! ❯ Knock Knock, Who's Your Brother? ( Chapter 10 )

“Well, we-hum-honestly did not mean to interrupt….”*cough*” Kurama spluttered as both he and Koriko stood stock still at the scene that they had walked in on.

 

“I think we'll be going then,” with that said, Koriko pulled Kurama out of the kitchen doorway and upstairs.

 

“Why-oh why do they always have to barge in on the good part?!” You questioned in your mind, starting to get very agitated with the two of them. You turned your head back to look at Hiei-still frozen looking toward the doorway.

 

“So…. How you doin'?” You wanted to kick yourself that was your brilliant way of breaking the ice after that absurdly awkward moment. “I can't believe I just blurted out that cheesy pick up line to Hiei!”

 

Hiei slowly turned his head back to you. He let go of your arms and took a step back, before he started to shake with silent laughter from your stupid question.

“Where did you learn that at? Yusuke or Chu?”

“Neither, some sitcom I watched called `Friends' the man that said it was named Joey.”

You laughed at yourself with Hiei.

 

However, the laughter has to end sometime and then it was time for the awkward moment after a first kiss.

 

“So, did you like it?” Hiei mumbled looking at the ground, you could see a hint of pink on his cheeks.

 

“I'm sorry, I couldn't hear what you said.” You were nervous and wanted to make sure he said what you think he did.

 

`cough' “ I said… Nevermind.” Hiei turned away from you turning towards the exit.

 

“No, wait, please. Tell me what you said, I want to know.”

 

He didn't turned back to face you, but he restated what he said earlier, loud and clear.

 

“Did you like it?”

 

You were so happy that you almost couldn't speak, almost, the only problem was that you squealed out your reply.

“ILOVEDIT!”

 

To say the least, Hiei was stunned, you were always so quiet around everyone so far and he has yet to see this side of you.

You clasped your hands over your mouth; you felt like an idiot screaming that out.

 

You waited in silence for Hiei to say something about regretting what he had just done, but that never came.

Instead, he simply raised one of his eyebrows and smirked at you, “Good.” In addition, with that, he marched off into the hall, up the stairs and into his room leaving you alone in the kitchen with only your scrambled thoughts.

 

~In the morning~

 

You didn't want to wake up, what if last night's events were just a glorious dream, a dream that you would never want to end. So you simply just rolled over once the sun hit your closed eyelids, also ignoring the alarm clock that was shaped like a panda with a bamboo stick.

 

{beep beep beep}

 

Somehow the noise just continued to get louder and louder until you had to finally surrender and shut it off.

 

You stretched in bed before you stood up, making your left leg shake and twitch. Pulling the covers off your body, you stood up and slipped on your robe and slippers that were shaped like pandas. (Kinsey: Hmmm, I wonder what your favorite animal is? XD)

 

Turning the knob to leave your room you yawned, you didn't bother to check what time it was when you shut off the clock, and you hoped that it wasn't too late or too earlier.

 

Right as you were stepping out, Hiei was about to knock on your door, the result: you passed out from Hiei hitting your forehead.

 

You didn't hit the ground though; Hiei caught you and starting to apologize fervently.

 

Kurama and Koriko barged in to see what the commotion was all about, they say you with a lump on your head and Hiei carrying you back to your bed.

 

“What happened here?” Kurama questioned Hiei with an odd look on his normally composed face.

 

“It was an accident, fool. She was leaving her room when I knocked on the door and I hit her instead.” Hiei sweat-dropped as he put you back under the covers.

 

“Make sure to tuck her in,” Koriko mocked, angry that her best friend was hurt, not that she would admit it.

 

“Shut up,” remarked Hiei.

 

“Now, now children, lets not fight.” Kurama tried to sooth the two over.

 

You woke up about thirty minutes later with a headache and a wet towel on your forehead.

 

Wondering what woke you up finally, you turned your head and saw the prettiest sight ever, Yukina-Hiei's sister standing in front of your bed.

 

“Oh, you're awake! How wonderful. Kurama told me what had happened, they were worried that you might have hit your head too hard.” Yukina explained smiling.

 

“'They'?” You repeated confused.

 

“Kurama, Yusuke, Kazuma, Koriko and Hiei, even though the last two won't admit it.” Yukina winked mischievously, she wasn't as naïve as other people thought her to be.

 

You grinned, not only happy that your best friend and your love were worried about you, but you also got to meet Yukina and this could be your chance to get Hiei to admit to her the truth!

 

“So, you're Yukina.”

“How'd you know?”

“I was at the dark tournament and I'm in touch with Koenma, so I heard about you. Also, I heard that you're searching for your brother.”

“Yes, I am. I know he's not dead, I can feel his fiery presence every where I go.” Yukina closed her eyes and put her hand over her heart when she explained this.

“Well, I was about to say that you look quite a bit like Hiei…” You trailed off leaving the bait.

Yukina smiled at you, and not her regular sweet and innocent smile, but one that had suspicion too it.

 

She knew.

 

At least, she assumed that Hiei was her sister. “I mean, why else would she have given her brother's hiroseki stone for Hiei to keep. And her saying that Hiei was the big brother she thought hers would be.”

 

Therefore, you devised a plan to make Hiei come out and admit it, but you had to act smoothly. “When is your birthday Yukina?”

“Its January 19th.”

“Wow, that's pretty soon. Only a month away!” You grinned wickedly on the inside, the sooner the better.

 

Yukina could tell that you were up to something, but not something bad.

 

“How does your head feel now?”

“I still have a headache, but other than that I'm good.”

She checked your head to see if the swelling went down, it did, she gave you some medicine for your headache and left the room to tell the others that you were okay.

 

Hiei was the first to come inside; he was actually standing outside the door the whole time trying to act casual.

“Sorry,” he mumbled.

“It's fine, I hurt myself all the time, it was just an accident.” You smiled encouragingly.

He looked up at you and a small smile formed at the edges of his lips.

 

Hiei walked over to your bed and sat down beside you.

“What were you two talking about?”

“I was introducing myself and I asked her when her birthday was, it's coming up soon.” You observed the reaction on Hiei's face as it went from curiosity, to tense, to frighten and then finally resting on indifference.

“When is your birthday Hiei?”

“It doesn't matter.” His voice rang with sadness and finality at his statement and to make sure the conversation did not go on any further her left the room.

 

You pouted, you knew that he was going to be a tough nut to crack, but you had to get him to spill the beans at least by their birthday.

 

“What a wonderful idea, that could be Hiei's birthday present to her!”
