Yu Yu Hakusho Fan Fiction ❯ Tales of the Sapphire Star ❯ I don't like fire... ( Chapter 3 )

Flame: Now you update…

Hoshi: It was a matter of interest. Now I have some interest…

Flame: Meaning you were lazy…

Hoshi Well anything sounds bad when you say it like that!

Flame: If she owned YYH then this wouldn't be a FANfic, and Hoshi would be real…But this is, and she's not.

Rewind

Shuiichi walked over to the window, and began to open it. "Hello Hiei."

Play

Hoshi watched a man dressed in black with a white bandana on his head come through the window, sure he was small compared to Kurama, but he looked to be at least a foot taller than her. His size wasn't matched by his baritone voice when he spoke, "Hn. What took you so long fox?"

Kurama smiled as he replied, "I had other matters to take care of first, like the child KoEnma told us all about… I'm her new guardian, and I was trying to make her feel at ease while she's in my care."

Hiei just looked at the small child standing near Kurama's bed, "That's the possessor of the pendant? She seems scrawny to me…"

"I assure you Hiei, in due time, she'll grow…" Kurama had to chuckle a little at the face Hoshi made when Hiei remarked about her size, though. Seeing a little girl with an angelic face like hers try to death glare someone like Hiei was quite funny after all…

"I am not scrawny. Nor am I small, gaunt, or any other synonyms you could use to describe being undernourished. I was fed properly and KoEnma was a good foster parent." Hoshi's eyes were doing something Kurama had never seen before, the iris was changing color, and it kept moving about as if the color were a wave of some sort. Her eyes were now blue yet it looked more like water than anything, like tidal waves were forming in her eyes…

"Hn. How can one small child take care of another?" Hiei replied, not really looking for an answer.

"Well…One of he ferry girls, like Botan or Hinageshi, would… But KoEnma did give me a home!"

"Whatever you say child…Kura-Shuiichi, if she has the guest room, where will I sleep?"

Kurama, who had been silent the whole argument, now looked at the diminutive fire demon he called his best friend, "I'm sure we could think of something, you could sleep on the floor."

"Hn." Kurama knew that Hn, it meant "I could care less" so Kurama nodded and went to grab some blankets for Hiei. Leaving Hiei and Hoshi alone.

"Why are you so mean? You seem like the type to attack a defenseless child…" asked Hoshi, not really wanting to hear the answer…

"I won't attack you, I don't need to be in ReiKai prison because of you…" he raised his body temperature to dry himself off; Hoshi felt the sudden warmth in the room…

"You're a fire demon…" Hoshi quickly got on the other side of the room from Hiei.

"What's it to you?" Hiei was beginning to loose his composure, the child was annoying him, and he wanted her to stop.

"N-nothing…No reason at all…" Hoshi gulped, hoping Hiei wouldn't spend the night in her room. She didn't like fire, she didn't want to start to either… She had no clue she was pyrophobic, she didn't even know what it meant… But she was sure to soon find out.

Hoshi: Another chapter bites the dust!

Flame: To respond to our reviewer questions…

Hoshi: No, Koenma isn't Hoshi's real dad…More on her life story in a later chapter. Kay Tuatha?

Flame: And that's it for the questions…

Hoshi: *looks for any other reviews* Ouch…She's right…

Flame: Hoshi's new stunt. Review and she'll give you a life size Kurama or Hiei doll…
