[ P - Pre-Teen ]

Disclaimer: For the hundredth time, I DO NOT OWN YYH!!!
 
Notes: I was going to post the original chapter eight, but decided against it. This was going to be chapter nine, but oh well.
 
Edit Note: Now that I think about it, it's a good thing I never posted the original chapter eight. It wasn't very good.
 
Pen Pals 8: He Asked You What!?
 
“What are you wearing?” asked Kelly. I was wearing an aqua tank top, a black mini-skirt, black high-heeled sandals, and my flame pendant.
“Hiei picked it out for me this morning,” I explained.
“Why did you agree to wear it?” asked Sam.
 
~*~FLASHBACK~*~
 
“I will not wear that!” I yelled at Hiei. He was holding a small outfit.
“Please?” he gave me the puppy pout.
“That doesn't work on me,” I said, “And I won't wear that outfit.”
“Yes you will,” said Hiei, “Or else.” I froze. I knew what `or else' meant, and it wouldn't be pretty. Hiei knew what I would and wouldn't do.
“You wouldn't!” I said.
“Watch me,” said Hiei as he began advancing.
“I give!” I cried, “I'll wear the stupid outfit.” Hiei smirked.
 
~*~END FLASHBACK~*~
 
“He almost did it too,” I told my friends.
“So close, and yet so far,” I turned to face Hiei. He put his arms around my waist and kissed me. I broke away and stared at him in amazement.
“You wanted to do that?” I asked. Hiei blushed and nodded.
“Then you get the Cold Shoulder for a week,” I said. Hiei stuck out his lip.
“Okay,” I said, “three days.” Hiei continued to pout.
“You know,” I said, “If you don't quit pouting like that, a little birdie is gonna come and turd on your lip.” We all started laughing.
“The Cold Shoulder begins now,” I said. Kuwabara grabbed Sam by the arm and dragged her away. They came back five minutes later. A look of shock was plastered on Sam's face. She whispered something to us.
“HE ASKED YOU WHAT!?!” we all cried simultaneously. We were so loud that we shattered a few windows. Seriously.
“You heard me right,” Sam said. Kuwabara started blushing. Sam was only 17!
“I told him to wait until I'm twenty,” said Sam.
“Good for you,” I said.
(AN: Things will be a bit fast-paced now. And kinda weird too. You have been warned.)
 
~*~3 years later~*~
 
`I haven't heard from Kurama, Kuwabara, or Sam for a year now. I'm not sure when they're coming back from Tokyo. Kuwabara and Sam are on their honeymoon. Kurama is visiting his friends. I hope they come back soon. We aren't a group without them.'
I put away my journal and went to get the mail. I sifted through the small white envelopes. There was nothing but bills and junkmail. I went inside and got online. I had forty e-mails.
“A new record,” I said to myself. It was mostly fan mail. There were three letters that caught my eye.
`Hey Jessica! Kuwabara and I will be home in two days! We're bringing home a few presents. I can't wait to see you guys again. Ja ne! ~Sam'
The next one was from Kuwabara.
`Hey, Kurama is going to pop the question to Kelly. Don't tell her cause it's gonna be a surprise. See ya!'
I laughed. Just like Kuwabara to spill a secret. I read the last e-mail.
`Hey Jessica. I'll be back in three days. Do you know Kelly's favorite color? It's important that I find out. Ja mata! ~Kurama'
I replied instantly.
`Kelly's favorite color is rose. Good luck!'
“This is gonna be an interesting summer,” I said to myself.
“Why?” I turned to face Hiei.
“We're going somewhere in a week,” I said, “And the others are coming home.”
“Cool,” Hiei said as he hugged me.
 
It had been two days since I got the e-mails. Kuwabara and Sam walked in to the apartment we all shared.
“Konnichiwa!” I cried.
“Konnichiwa!” said Sam. She pulled a beautiful kimono out of a large bag at her side. The kimono was pink, and covered in blue kittens. Sam handed the kimono to Kelly.
“I had it made especially for you,” she said as Kelly hugged her. Then she pulled out a decorated sword hilt and gave it to Hiei.
“Thanks,” he said. Then Sam pulled out a small jade dragon and gave it to me. On the bottom of the figurine was carved `Best Friends Forever' in Japanese.
“Thank you so much,” I said. I hugged my friend.
 
Kurama walked inside. A small bag was at his side. He handed me and Hiei each a small pendant. Then, he pulled out a rose-colored kimono. It was decorated with red and white roses. He handed the kimono to Kelly. Then he pulled her aside from the rest of us. Kelly came back a minute later with a stunned look on her face. She whispered something in my ear.
“HE ASKED YOU WHAT!?!” I yelled. We all laughed. Kelly showed me a small rose-colored ring.
 
`It has been a week since Kurama and Kelly got married. I guess me and Hiei are the only single members of the group now. O.O That means Hiei might ask me the same question. I gotta go. Hiei and I are going out tonight.'
I put away my journal. I had started writing in it when the others left for Tokyo. That was about one and a half years ago. I put on a black t-shirt that said `99% demon 1% angel' in red and gold letters, black jeans with flame patterns on the sides, a flame pendant, and black sneakers. This was the outfit that had started it all. The outfit Hiei had bought me. The sneakers were new though. I had bought them that morning. Hiei and I then left for the park.
 
I lay in the soft grass, watching the stars. Hiei was sitting next to me.
“It's so beautiful,” I said, “I wish I could reach up and touch one of those stars.” Hiei handed me a small black box. Inside was a small ring, entwined with ruby's and diamonds. I looked up at Hiei. He kissed me and whispered something in my ear.
 
AN: I know this chapter was kinda sappy. Gomen, I was on a sugar high. I'll see all you guys later. Ja mata!
