Hiei's Dare

Chapter 3: Hiei's Problem

********************************************************** ************* *

Yusuke and Hiei walked into the apartment. Atsuko was nowhere in sight. On the table there was a note from her.

Yusuke, I went out for a little while. Take care of the house for me.

Yusuke turned to Hiei.

"Well it looks like the house is ours for the night. My mother went out again."

"Hn,"

Yusuke went over to the couch and picked up the remote controller for the T.V. After watching T.V. for a little while he went to check on Hiei. Hiei was sitting on a futon on the floor doing his homework.

"Where did the futon come from," Yusuke asked.

Hiei threw a folded piece of paper at the Spirit Detective. Yusuke opened it to see what it said.

Dear Yusuke,

Botan has informed me of the little dare that has been going on. Since Hiei will be staying with you I have taken the liberty of aiding some minor comforts to your home. I had a futon, food, and a little bit of money be brought there. The money is Hiei's and Hiei's alone to spend as he pleases, but I suggest it should be used on stuff that he will need while staying in the human world. It is under the futon. I also suggest that the food should be used sparingly.

The Mighty Koenma

Yusuke looked up at the Jaganshi.

"Hiei did you get the money from under the futon?"

Hiei nodded.

"Ok so here's another question. Why are you doing your homework?"

"Hn. The point of the dare was for me to pass, wasn't it?"

"Yeah."

"Well, unlike you, I have to do my homework in order to pass."

Yusuke just stared at Hiei. He didn't really realize that Hiei was very intelligent. In fact, Yusuke knew practically nothing about Hiei. Yusuke turned and left Hiei to do his work. He started to flip channels of the T.V. About an hour later, Yusuke felt Hiei come out of the bedroom. Yusuke looked at the doorway and watched as Hiei walked right passed him and out the front door.

Where is he going?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~ ~~~~~~~~

(Before I continue I would like to remind everyone that Hiei is trying to act as human as he possibly can. It is a part of the dare that Kuwabara laid out.)

Hiei was walking around outside. He needed fresh air after sitting within the walls of Yusuke's home for nearly two hours. To him, the walls felt like a prison. Hiei walked towards a familiar area that he knew. The homes were much nicer and the wealthier residents of Japan. This was Kurama's neighborhood. Hiei walked till he saw Kurama's home. He looked up to see that Kurama's bedroom light was on. Hiei went up to the door and knocked. The door opened to reveal Kurama's mother, Shiori.

(Shiori knows who Hiei is, but like her "son" she has no clue that he's a demon.)

"Hello Hiei."

"Hn. Hello."

"I guess you want to see Shuichi. You know where his room is."

Hiei nodded and went up to Kurama's room. He opened the door to see Kurama sitting at his desk working on his own homework. Kurama turned towards him and smiled.

"Trying to complete the dare I see," Kurama said.

"Hn."

The room grew quiet as Kurama finished up his homework. Hiei sat down on Kurama's bed. His thoughts were turning to what was going on the past couple of days since the dare began. Hiei felt strange. Kurama finished his homework and the two of them went downstairs to the kitchen to get some "sweet snow," Hiei's favorite treat. Kurama took this time to study his friend. Something was bothering him.

(Sweet Snow is Ice Cream.)

"Is everything alright Hiei?"

"Hn. You needn't worry about me, Kurama."

"I'm not worried Hiei. You just look like you have something on your mind. I figured that you might want to talk about it."

Hiei sighed. He might as well talk to Kurama. He knew if he didn't, Kurama would not stop until he did.

"I guess you could say that I'm a little distracted by what's been going on since the dare has been going on. I feel like a."

"A human?"

Hiei nodded. As much as he hated to admit it, since he had joined the Spirit Detective team, he had gained many human habits. He always took off his shoes in the homes of the other detective members, ate the same junk food they did, and slowly he was gaining emotions that he didn't want. Hiei sighed again. He was losing the battle that he thought that he was winning.

"Hiei, there's nothing wrong with becoming more human-like. I did."

"I'm not you, Kurama."

With that Hiei stormed out of the house. He couldn't jump trees like he normally did when he was pissed off. Instead he walked around for a while. He continued to walk until he reached Yusuke's home. There were no lights on. Hiei ran up the stairs and entered Yusuke's home. Yusuke was sleeping and mumbling nonsense. Hiei left Yusuke alone and went to sleep hoping that he could escape his dilemma for a few hours.
