Hiei And Kurama's Adventures Chapter 17: A Farewell And A Chocolate Shop

"We are going to go to the chocolate shop today, right?" Shirami asked Kurama cheerfully the next day. Kurama nodded. It was after, no longer Christmas and the stores would be open again. "What time?"

"Probably sometime this afternoon." Kurama told her.

It was afternoon… Shirami thought, looking at the clock, which read 1:35. She decided to make this information public. "Shuichi, it is afternoon." Kurama then looked at the clock.

"Oh! I didn't realize it was this late. Time flies when you're having fun." Kurama smiled. "Let me go tell Hiei that we are going now."

"Okay." Shirami replied.

Hiei was in the closet room, flipping through a book. "Hiei, we are going to go the place Shirami got you those chocolates from." Kurama told him. Hiei glanced up from the book.

"Hn." Hiei slowly got to his feet. "I will be ready in a few minutes." Hiei stretched and yawned. He had been reading for about an hour while Kurama and Shirami had been talking.

"All right." Kurama started to leave the room, but Hiei grabbed his arm.

"I have a question first. When are we going to be leaving this house?" Hiei asked.

"In about two weeks. Why?"

"Never mind." Hiei turned around and began to search for his black sweater he had gotten from Yuri.

"Well, Shirami and I will be outside waiting for you." Kurama then left the room. The reason Hiei had wondered how long they were staying was, in fact, because he really didn't like the room they were staying in. But he'd live…

When he was finally ready, he came outside. Shirami and Kurama were just standing there waiting, not talking or anything. When Hiei approached, Shirami spoke.

"It will take about a half hour to reach the chocolate shop." She told Hiei. "Do you mind walking? Or would you prefer if Shuichi drove us there? He was kind enough to offer it."

"Walking is fine." Hiei said, and began to walk away from the house. Kurama and Shirami quickly ran to catch up with him.

*~*~*~*~*~ Hiei had never seen so many chocolates in one place in all of his life. There was dark chocolate, milk chocolate, white chocolate, chocolate with almonds, dark chocolate with almonds, nuts, even rice in them. Hiei liked the dark chocolate with either white chocolate filling in the middle or dark chocolate filling. It seemed like they had every kind of filling though - Blueberry filling? He had never tried that before. He did like strawberry filling though… "How much can we get?" Hiei asked Kurama.

"Fifty dollars worth of it." Kurama winked at the small demon. "I got fifty dollars for Christmas from Grandmother, so I might as well spend it."

"On me again. You know what happened last time you spent your money on me, do you want that to happen again?" Hiei growled. Kurama laughed… Yes, he remembered very well that Hiei had robbed that bank. And he knew very well that Shirami was clueless to what they were talking about.

"Hiei, I have plenty of money back at home. I want to spend this on you." Kurama smiled.

"Hn. Well then, I'll take-" Hiei named a bunch of chocolates he liked.

"So Hiei likes chocolate." Shirami whispered to Kurama.

"He really likes anything sweet. He also likes anything really spicy or really cold." Kurama whispered back.

"What were you talking about a few minutes ago? What happened last time you spent money on him?" Kurama laughed yet again.

"You don't want to know." Is all he told her. So she was still clueless to what happened.

"Hiei, you can actually get 100 dollars worth!" Shirami shouted to Hiei.

"Hn?" He turned around to look at her. "And why would that be?" Hiei asked, holding many boxes of chocolate.

"Because I can tell you right now, you are holding more than fifty dollars worth. And Grandma gave me fifty dollars too, and so I'll spend it on you as well! You didn't get as much presents as us anyway, in fact you only got three or four presents. You deserve all the chocolate you want!" Shirami said.

"That's nice." Hiei said flatly.

"Don't worry Shirami, that's just the way Hiei is." Kurama said, seeing the look of confusion on Shirami's face. "You could tell him he could buy the whole store, you wouldn't get much of a reaction from him, even though in truth he would be very happy. I think the only way you would get a big and happy reaction from was if you told him he was now the strongest demon in all four worlds…" Kurama muttered.

"What's that?" Shirami asked.

"Nothing!" Kurama giggled. "Well, it looks like Hiei's having a lot of fun picking out his chocolate." Hiei kept putting one back, and then picking it back up, then putting it back on the shelf, and then deciding he wanted it after all. Shirami laughed.

"It sure does." She said.

Hiei returned with a little bit more than one hundred dollars worth of chocolate. Kurama sighed. "Hiei, you went a little over your amount you can get." Hiei went and put back the coconut filling chocolates.

"I don't those anyway." Hiei mumbled.

"All right, now you are ok with your amount." Kurama said.

When they finally left the store, Hiei was already eating the chocolate. "Jeez Hiei, how much can you eat?" Shirami joked.

"More than you could." Hiei continued to eat.

~*~*~*~ The two weeks Hiei, Kurama, and Kurama's family stayed at Yuri's house continued like this. It was an interesting time for Hiei, as he had never really known what family was. The last day they were to stay with Yuri and Kurama's cousins came.

"Hiei? Can I talk to you?" Shirami asked that morning. Kurama was still asleep and Hiei had gotten up without him. Hiei nodded. "Well, I wanted to tell you that I… I had a really good time when you were here." Hiei nodded again. "And… I hope you come back really soon. I still have so many questions about you and I want to know more about you. Like why you always wear that cloth around your forehead." Hiei shrugged. "Well, you don't need to tell me… It's just… Well… Hiei, I think that during this time you spent here I think I have fallen in love with you." Shirami was all red. She, herself, could not believe she had just told Hiei this. Hiei sighed.

"You are different from most females." Hiei started, "And I am sorry to tell you that I do not feel the same way about you."

"Oh..." She said sadly, "Well I kind of figured that."

"I think of you more as a little sister." Hiei said, which was the truth.

"You like… Shuichi, don't you?" She said, giving him a little smile. Hiei nodded. "Well, I guess… He's a good person, he'll be good for you…" Shirami was a bit disappointed Hiei was gay. She was almost certain he wasn't…

"And I probably won't see you again." Hiei said. "If we do meet again, that would be nice, but I doubt we will. So, I hope you are kind towards Kurama even when I am not there." Shirami nodded.

"I have a question." She suddenly said.

"Hn?"

"What did Kurama tell you about me and Kanime before you came?"

"He said you were rude and bossy." Hiei truthfully told her.

"I see." She laughed a little bit. "I guess we were before… And I think Kanime still is." She tried to laugh more, but it didn't work out so well. Instead of laughing, she started crying. Hiei wasn't sure if it was because she was sad Kanime was still bossy, because Hiei liked Kurama and not her, or if it was because of something else.

Kurama then walked into the room. "Shirami, what's wrong?" He asked. He quickly walked over to her.

"Nothing, I just got something in my eye." She lied. Of course, Hiei and Kurama both saw through her lie, but neither one did anything.

"Is there something wrong, Shirami?" Shiori said, now she walked into the room.

"I just told Hiei and Shuichi that all that's wrong is I got something in my eye."

"Oh, all right then…" Shiori also saw through the lie. "Well Hiei, Shuichi, get all your stuff together. We are going to leave right after breakfast, I don't want a late start." Kurama nodded.

"Come on Hiei, let's go get your things together." Hiei and Kurama walked into the closet room where all their stuff was. Kurama had actually gotten everything together the night before. Hiei had most of his stuff spread all over the place though, so Kurama helped him get everything together. "Well, when you get back home, you can see Kurosuke!"

"Yes, I know." Hiei had been missing his cute little black kitten so much it hurt. He had been wondering how well that Suguru kid had been taking care of Kurosuke. If anything had happened to him… Hiei would kill that kid.

~*~*~*~*~*~ When everything was in the car, and everyone was ready to leave, Shirami burst out in tears. "I am going to miss you all so much!!" She cried.

"I'll miss you too." Kurama said, giving her a hug.

"Oh, Shuichi?" She said through her tears, "Take care of Hiei." She whispered. Kurama smiled at his cousin.

"I will, Shirami-chan." This trip created a bond between Shirami and Kurama that wouldn't be broken…

"I will miss you two!" Shiori said to Kanime and Shirami. "And of course, you too Hikaru." She smiled, looking down at the young boy, who wasn't even paying attention to him. He was saying goodbye to little Shuichi. Those two were good friends.

"Shirami." Hiei said, "I have a little sister. Her name is Yukina. You remind me of her and Kurama both." And then he turned around and got into the car, followed by Kurama.

"What was that all about?" Kurama asked Hiei.

"I didn't want her to think about me too much. I don't want her to be calling your house to talk to me."

"Well, I don't understand your point, but ok…" Kurama smiled at his beloved Hiei.

The car drove off, leaving Yuri and the rest behind. And that was the end of Hiei's first Christmas.

HELLO!!!!! I hoped you liked it! Yeah, this chapter was short and seemed a bit rushed. But I didn't know how else to write it >.< At least this was a quick update, ne? ^_^

Oh, dark elve princess (again lol) I read your profile and I was mentioned in it ^__^ WAI!! THAT'S SO COOL!!!! WAI WAI WAI WAI!!! Wow I made you cry ^_^ (even if I didn't really), that is so cool! I have always wanted to write a story where someone cries in it… Hope you like this chapter too ^_^ (Even if it wasn't as good)

What I find weird was that the kid that was taking care of Hiei's kitten's name was Suguru, who was Shuichi's friend. And then I decided to just make a name for Kurama's stepfather and that was Hiroshi, because I have always loved the name. Shuichi, Suguru, and Hiroshi. I am seeing a pattern with these names and Bad Luck (a band from Gravitation). I made this before ever even knowing what Gravitation was, and now Gravitation is my favorite show. I just thought that was really funny and/or weird.

I am listening to Bad Luck's music right now anyway (Spicy Marmalade). ^___^

Hope you all enjoyed, and remember to write a review of what you thought of this whole Christmas thing… or the whole story so far lol. There are only three, four or five chapters left of Hiei And Kurama's Adventures. Let me tell you, it turned out a lot different than how I thought it would turn out.. But I like it ^__^

TO FF.NET READERS: I said it was a quick update because I wrote it the day after I wrote the last chapter, but my computer froze every time I tried to put it on ff.net. I am going to try again this afternoon. (today is May 6, 2004). So… this is a quick update!!! Look on mediaminer.org if you want to see if I have more chapters, cause they are there before ff.net. Thank you!! bye-chu!
