Christmas & a New Place to Live

December 20, 2003

After Hia and Hiei took their separate baths, Yusuke, Kita, Botan, Kurama, Hia, and Hiei all sat in front of the TV watching several different Christmas movies. Mrs. Urameshi seemed to have just disappeared she hasn't been seen out of the Kitchen all day. Which the others had noted very odd.

"Dinner's ready." Mrs. Urameshi called from the Kitchen. Then she brought out the food for Christmas dinner. The others looked up at the clock to see what time it was and it was all most seven-thirty and they were stunned 'where had the time gone' they all wondered.

The TV watchers all got up and went to the table. Hia and Hiei the furthest from Mrs. Urameshi, Yusuke and Botan the closest to her, while Kurama and Kita sat between Yusuke/Botan and Hiei/Hia.

"You know we haven't even opened our presents in yet!" Yusuke said.

"Yeah you can do that after dinner." Mrs. Urameshi said as she smiled down the table.

'Oh now she's happy…' Hia thought and looked back down at her plate.

Most of Dinner went by in a very uncomfortable silence.

Halfway Through Dinner!

"What are you going to do after every thing is over?" Kita asked

"Don't know." Hia said lamely.

"Well what do you guys want to do tomorrow?" Kita asked trying to start some kind of conversation.

"I don't know." Hia said and shrugged.

"The apartment next door just became available. Do you two want to come with Kita and me tomorrow to get it?" Kurama asked trying to start a conversation too.

"It don't matter." Hia said but continued to eat her food.

"Yeah we'll go with you Kurama." Hiei said grabbing Hia's hand as he smiled at her.

"Good cause I've already got the apartment we just have to move our stuff tomorrow." Kurama said and smiled

"Look Hia, Hiei I was out of line this morning. I'm sorry." Mrs. Urameshi said.

"It's all right Mrs. Urameshi. I won't be in your way any more." Hia said then looked over to Hiei and smiled at him.

"Okay is every one done eating?" Yusuke asked now that some of the tension had went down.

"I'm done you done Hia?" Hiei asked.

"Yeah I'm done. Kita you and Kurama done yet?" Hia said as Hiei stood up and moved behind her. Kita and Kurama glanced at each other to see if they were done.

"Yeah we're done." Kita said then stood up along with every one else. Every one moved over to sit around the Christmas tree.

"Why aren't you guy's moving in next door tonight? I mean you can move you stuff in an hour." Botan asked. Kurama and the others looked at each other then nodded to each other.

"That's not a bad idea Botan." Hia said and smiled when Hiei pulled her to where she was sitting on his lap. "Hello Hiei." She said and laughed a little.

"Hi. I'm just glad she can't get a hold of a snow ball right now." Hiei said and laughed when Hia slapped his shoulder playfully.

"Who's first?" Mrs. Urameshi asked.

"Kita!" Hia said immediately.

"Hia!" Kita said at the same time. And they laughed. Then they turned to Hiei and Kurama.

"You two first!" they both said at the same time.

"How do they do that…" Kurama and Hiei asked at the same time then turned away from each other while the girls laughed.

"I think we've made an impacted on them Kita." Hia said while laughing. Then she turned back around to Hiei and made him look at her. And she kissed him on the lips.

Hiei wrapped his arms around her and rubbed her back as he kissed her back. And one of his hands slid under her shirt a little to touch the small of her back.

Hia felt his hand on her back then she felt it go under her shirt to touch her skin and she pulled back to look him in the eyes. And smiled when she saw only love in his eyes. Then he pulled her into a hug. "That was as far as I would have went with out your permission." Hiei whispered in her ear as he hugged her.

"I know." Hia whispered back then kissed him on the cheek.

"Uhm…Kurama you go first." Kita said as she handed him his gift and smiled when he handed her one too. Kurama opened his gift to see it was a picture of all of them. Hia, Kita, Hiei, Yusuke, and Botan plus himself were standing together doing something. He couldn't remember when the picture was taken but he loved the picture and it's fame.

"When did we all take this picture?" Kurama asked.

"It was a little after we all started dating." Kita said and smiled "It's not much but that's all I could get." She said then looked down to her present.

"It's wonderful Kita. Hiei, Hia look it's all of us together in a picture." Kurama said and smiled as he handed it to Hiei. Hiei and Hia looked at it together then looked at each other.

"You see them to?" Hia asked.

"Yeah I see them. Behind you and Kita several feet away." Hiei said then looked over to Kurama who was confused then handed the picture back.

"Who's back…never mind. I see them. Oh well. The picture is of us." Kurama said then looked at Kita who was looking confused now.

"What are you talking about?" she asked. Then looked at the picture behind herself and Hia then spotted Jin and Touya standing back there staring at them. "I didn't know they were in the picture…" she said sadly

"Who?" Botan and Yusuke asked.

"Jin and Touya." Hia said stunning Botan and Yusuke.

"It's still wonderful Kita don't worry about those two in the back ground." Kurama said and kissed her.

"Here Hiei! Open yours." Hia said changing the subject as she got off his lap then handed him her present for him.

"You didn't have to get me anything you know." Hiei said as he took the present into his hands.

"Of course I did. It's your first Christmas." She whispered in his ear then kissed him on his cheek. He unwrapped the present to see a Kitana. He placed his hand on it then looked up at her. "They told me you were a master Swords man but Yukina took your sword when she left the first time." Hia said and smiled at him.

"So that's where my sword went." Hiei said then pulled Hia into a hug. "I love it and you." He whispered in her ear and she smiled as she blushed.

"I love you too Hiei." Hia said and smiled at him.

"Your turn Hia." Hiei said handing her a present that she had wanted to open all morning.

"I really didn't expect anything from you it being your first Christmas and all." Hia said and smiled at him.

"Open it. I want to know what you think." Hiei said with an excited but worried look. 'What if she don't like it…' he wondered to himself. She unwrapped the gift to see what ever it was, was folded midnight blue color and it was silky.

"What is it?" she asked touching the silk then pulling her hand back as she looked up at Hiei.

"Well unfold it and find out." He said and smiled worriedly.

"It's silk Hiei." She said as she looked back down at it putting her hand on the present again. "I've never had anything made of silk…It's so expensive…" she said and looked up at him again.

"Let us see it Hia!" Kita said shoving her a little to make her pay attention. Hia picked up the midnight blue silk and held it up to see that it was a kimono with light pink sakura petals on its left shoulder. And something fell to the floor. It was a necklace she picked it up and read it. "I love you" in Japanese characters, written on it.

"It's so beautiful." She said then made to hug Hiei but he wasn't expecting it so he fell backward from his seated position with her on top of him.

"Well I guess you like it." Hiei said stunned as he lay on his back with Hia on top of him.

"Oh I love it!" Hia said then kissed his cheek then jumped up. "Be right back." She said running off to the bedroom with her Kimono and necklace in her hands.

"Well Kurama I guess I got a good present." Hiei said sitting back up to see Kurama and Kita laughing at him trying to get back to a seated position. Hia came out about five minutes later wearing her kimono and her necklace.

"Yeah Hiei you did." Kurama said as he looked over to Hia who was smiling and looking down at the front of her Kimono while playing with her necklace. Hia went back over beside Hiei and kneeled down.

"You look beautiful in that." Hiei said and put his arms around Hia again pulling her onto is lap.

"You know I'll never get up from your lap this time." Hia said hugging him.

"That won't bother me any." Hiei said nuzzling her neck.

"Kita your turn." Kurama said and smiled at her. She looked down at her present it wasn't as big as Hia's present so she knew it wasn't a kimono. She opened her present to see a little box and small sand brown bear holding a heart. In the box was a necklace with matching earrings and a matching bracelet.

"Do you like it?" Kurama asked as he looked worriedly at her.

"Oh of course I love it. Hia look the little bear say's I love you on it. And so does the earrings, necklace and bracelet." Kita said looking up to Hia who was smiling as she leaned her head on Hiei's shoulder and playing with her necklace.

"Now I feel lame." Yusuke said.

"Why?" Botan asked.

"The present I got you…" he said sadly. And he handed her a little wrapped up box.

"What is it?" Botan asked as she held the little box in the palm of her hand.

"Open it and see." Yusuke said. Hiei and Kurama were watching intently. Botan unwrapped the box and opened it then gasped at the ring inside. She stood up to go show the other two girls.

"Hold on that's not all." Yusuke said as he kneeled down in front of her.

"Oh my…" Botan said stunned.

"Will you marry me Botan?" Yusuke said holding her hand.

"Oh my…Yes Yusuke!" Botan said as she hugged him down on her knees too. Hiei and Kurama looked at each other then down to Hia and Kita who seemed ecstatic over Botan and Yusuke's engagement.

"Congratulations Botan!" the two girls yelled.

"I…I…I don't know what to say Yusuke!" Botan stuttered around.

"You done said all you needed too." Yusuke said and smiled as he hugged her.

"You know I couldn't get you a gift. I don't have a job." Botan said making a nervous glance over to Mrs. Urameshi.

"You've already gave me mine." Yusuke said then sat back down beside her. And he noticed her looking at him questioningly. "You said yes. That was my gift." Yusuke said then kissed her cheek.

"It'll be dark in an hour and a half might want to get your stuff moved if your moving tonight." Mrs. Urameshi said and stood up.

"Mrs. Urameshi it's your turn where are you going." Hia said as she spotted Mrs. Urameshi's present hid behind the tree. Mrs. Urameshi turned around and looked at Hia who was holding her present. It was small. "We didn't know what you wanted so we all pitched in." Hia said and smiled.

Mrs. Urameshi sat back down and took the present and unwrapped it. It was a necklace, bracelet, ring and some earrings. "Oh my it's beautiful thanks every one." She said as she looked down at it. Every one looked questioningly to Hia who smiled and shrugged.

'Well every one seems as surprised as I am. She got it herself but she said we all bought it.' Hiei thought surprised. As he hugged her. "You bought that yourself. Why give us the credit?" Hiei whispered in her ear.

"I don't want the credit." Hia whispered back and looked up at him and he leaned down and kissed her lightly on the lips.

"Come on lets get our stuff moved. Half of mine and Kita's is all ready over there." Kurama said as he stood up and helped Kita up.

"Kita come here." Hia said sticking out her hand. "Help me up…" she whined then Kita grabbed her hand and pulled her up. "Come on Hiei." She said holding out her hand for him.

Two Hours Later!

"Well it's ten thirty who's sleeping where?" Hia asked as she stood up from the couch in their new apartment beside the Urameshi's.

"I want to sleep in that room." Kita said and pointed down a hall on the left.

"I want to sleep in the other room." Hia said she was still wearing her kimono.

"Well we could sleep boy/girl." Kurama suggested and turned a hundred shades of red after doing so.

"Okay. I guess Kurama and Kita on the left then, Hiei and me on the right. Well I'm going to go put our stuff away then go to bed. So night every one." Hia said and headed for the bedroom on the right of the hallway.

"I'm going to go help her." Hiei said after the door closed he got up and started down the hallway too. He opened the door to see Hia already starting to put his cloths away in the closet and smiled at her. The room smelt of Sakura blossoms because of a candle that Hia had bought and was burning in the room. "I can put my own cloths away Hia." Hiei said as he walked in and closed the door. He walked over and picked up some of her cloths and started to put them away in the walk in closet.

"And I can put mine away as well Hiei. I figured you'd stay up and watch TV or something." Hia said and smiled at him.

"No I'm tired too. So I came to help you put stuff away then I was going to go to bed too." He said then put his arms around her waist. "I love you I hope you know that." He whispered as he put his head on her back.

"I know and I love you too Hiei." She said as she rubbed his arms that are around her waist. Then he turned her around and kissed her on the lips very passionately. She kissed him back and put her hands in his hair as she closed her eyes. He undid her sash and pulled her close to him then started towards the bed with her. As he moved the Kimono so he could touch her skin

"Hiei…" Hia said breathlessly when he laid her down on the bed and was on top of her. He was starring into her eyes and didn't like the look she was giving him. It was like she was fearing him now.

"I'm sorry Hia." he said seeing the worry in her eyes. "I…I…don't…" he stuttered.

"Shhh Hiei. It's all right." Hia said lovingly placing a finger over his lips. Then pulled her Kimono back around her.

"I don't know what came over me…" Hiei said as he crawled over to the far end of the bed.

"It's all right Hiei." Hia said tying the sash back around herself as she sat back up. "It wasn't just you." she said then grabbed some cloths and left the room.

'Did she mean she wanted to?' he thought confused. 'If she hadn't of said my name…I…I wouldn't have cared if she wanted to…maybe I shouldn't stay in here with her.' He thought then looked up to see Hia walking back into the room with shorts and a tank top on ready for bed.

"I'll put the rest of the cloths up tomorrow morning. Let's go to bed." Hia said slightly nervous now of sleeping in the same bed with him.

"I'll sleep in the living room." Hiei said sadly when he heard the nervousness in her voice. And he stood up to leave the room when he heard the door lock.

"Why?" she asked then turned out the light.
