I decided to write another chapter! Yay for you guys! *looks around*
Yusuke: Now what are doing?
MNA: I'm keeping an eye out for flying pens!
The gang anime fell and MNA glared at a couple of pens nearby.
MNA: What are you staring at? I know what you did two nights ago! Flying at me when I was trying to grab you so I could write!
Kurama: MNA doesn't own YYH.
Carnation: Pardon her for OOC occurrences.

"Haha! Kuwabara, you lost again!" Yusuke's voice rang throughout the whole temple.
"Shut your trap! I let you win!" Kuwabara retorted as they started another video game.
The whole gang was at Genkai's, sitting out in the living room, watching Yusuke and Kuwabara's dispute over who was better at playing video games.
Gwen sighed as she lazily sat on the couch with Botan and Shizuru. "I'm bored watching the moron and baka play video games. Let's do something!"
"Like what?" Keiko asked, sitting next to the couch, holding Puu.
"We can go clubbing!" Yusuke suggested, wearing a crazy grin, only to be hit by a pillow.
"That's a bad idea," Keiko said. "We're too young."
Gwen sighed as another Keiko/Yusuke row began. 'I wonder if Hiei and I will be like that...'
~I don't even want to think about that,~ Hiei's voice popped in her head.
~Relax. We haven't even told them.~ Gwen gave a tiny smile to Hiei, who just happened to be across the room, leaning against the wall.
It had been almost three months since Gwen had gotten her memory back, and things have been going great for her. She was getting in trouble in school as usual, pulling off pranks, getting detention, the whole deal, and she stayed at Genkai's more than her own house. Hiei visited her, as usual, but she sat much closer to him ever since that night. He even wrapped his arms around her waist when he visited. The only thing was, they had never told anyone about their little relationship.
Gwen stood up with Carnation on top of her head. "Why don't we go to the mall or something?" she asked, a bit excited.
Yusuke and Kuwabara shook their heads vigorously while Keiko and Botan jumped out of their seats, pulling Gwen out of the room, making Carnation fall. "Come on! Let's go!"
"Um...yoroshii, but I'm going to clean the dishes with Yukina. I don't want her doing all the work. We can go in a half an hour," Gwen replied, slipping out of their grasp and briskly walking to the kitchen, not noticing Kurama watching her from the corner of his eye.
"Yukina, do you need any help?" Gwen asked as she walked to her.
"Oh! Sure! You can help me if you want," Yukina said, smiling.
'I don't ever remember her frowning,' Gwen thought, smiling back while she started to rinse some dishes.
"Yukina," someone behind them called out. Both turned around to see Kurama.
"Hai, Kurama?" Yukina asked politely.
"The girls want you to go get ready, since they decided that they wanted to leave in fifteen minutes," Kurama explained. "I'll be happy to wash the dishes with Gwen," he added quickly, knowing she wanted to finish cleaning.
"Sou ka," Yukina said, smiling as she dried her hands, walking out of the kitchen when Carnation snuck by her.
Kurama went to where Yukina had been standing and continued drying the dishes. Carnation jumped onto the counter and sat next to Gwen.
"Did you tell him?" Kurama asked, looking at Gwen.
"No...not really," she answered, putting a couple of dishes away.
"Oh...because I suspected that you two have told each other."
"We didn't."
Kurama's gaze landed on her neck. "Were you marked yet?"
Gwen whipped around, blushing a fiery red. "NO!"
Kurama chuckled as Gwen tried to calm down. "Okay, I won't ask any more questions."
"You better," Gwen replied, playfully punching Kurama's arm as she walked out, Carnation on her shoulder.
~I think he knows you two are together,~ Carnation piped in.
~...It's okay, really. I have told the truth to Kurama. We didn't tell each other that we love one another,~ Gwen telepathically said to the neko.
~I guess I can't go to the mall with you guys?~
~No.~
Carnation jumped off, and curled on the couch, going to sleep. Gwen smiled, and looked herself over to see if she was ready. A white tank top, light blue jeans shorts, and tan sandals, along with her necklace.
In less than five minutes, everyone except Carnation, Puu, and Genkai were walking to the mall.
Hiei decided not to use his demon speed, and instead, walked behind Gwen. Botan and Keiko were in front, of course, talking away. The boys were in back, having not wanted to go.
^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^At The Mall^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^
"Oh! This one looks perfect on you, Botan!" Keiko exclaimed, handing Botan a white shirt with a kitten on it.
"And this! This might go for you, Keiko!"
Gwen stepped away, not too trilled to be in a clothes department. Neither were the boys. Shizuru was nowhere to be found. Probably outside smoking, Gwen figured.
Botan looked at Gwen and smiled insanely. "Gwen! Look at this one! Doesn't this look like you!?" She held out a tight hot pink tube top with matching tight pants.
Gwen's eye twitched and the boys curiously waited for her reply. "...No...thank you..."
"Oh come on!" Keiko chirped as Yukina smiled at Gwen.
"I would like you to try it on, Gwenevere," Yukina requested politely.
Gwen bit her lip, and snatched the outfit out of Botan's hands. Botan and Keiko started giggling. Yusuke and Kuwabara were eagerly waiting for Gwen to return from the dressing room. Hiei's eye twitched a bit, and Kurama seemed amused at the whole situation.
A couple minutes later, Gwen walked out slowly, face red with anger and embarrassment. The boys were looking at her blankly, especially Hiei, while Keiko and Botan's giggles erupted to loud laughter. Yukina smiled and said, "It looks really good on you, Gwen!"
"Arigatou, Yukina, but I...don't want it..." Gwen said, turning, if possible, even more red. She walked to Keiko and Botan. "You two shall face my wrath."
They quieted down and stared at the floor as Gwen hurried back into the dressing room.
"...She's hot..." Yusuke burst out, and in result, he was slapped by a furious Keiko.
Kuwabara laughed and Hiei rolled his eyes. When Gwen came back, they continued shopping for an hour.
Then, as a reward for the boys holding so many shopping bags, excluding Hiei because he didn't want to, they stopped at the food court to get some ice cream.
They sat around in fours, Shizuru finally showing up and sitting with Gwen, Kurama, and Hiei.
"Did I miss anything?" she asked as she sat down, looking at them and their huge haul of bags.
"No, just two girls going mad on a shopping spree," Gwen replied, licking her vanilla ice cream cone.
"Oh, so I didn't." The two girls shared a chuckle as Kurama continued his book on plants as he ate his ice cream. Hiei was finished in mere seconds, eyeing Gwen's sweet snow. Shizuru continued to talk. "How's my liitle bro? Embarrassing himself again?"
"Yeah. He tripped over his own foot while carrying some bags and toppled over. We all had a good laugh at that. Except Hiei, since he has no sense of humor," Gwen said mockingly, looking at Hiei with a small smile. Hiei glared and "Hn'ed".
After some more chatting and a couple of sodas, they were all ready to go to the arcade, spurred by Yusuke's and Kuwabara's complaining that the girls got to do what they wanted while the boys got nothing.
"Umm...guys..." Gwen said, slightly shaking one foot.
"What is it?" Yukina asked.
"I have to go...NOW!" Gwen murmured, shouting the last word.
Everyone anime fell, except Yukina, while Gwen sweat dropped.
"Why don't you go to one here?" Kuwabara asked as they stood up.
"I checked when we went to get the ice cream and it looked...unsanitary."
"Come on! I didn't know you were the feminine type," Yusuke joked. Five seconds later, he ended up on the floor, dazed. (Poor Yusuke, getting beaten up by girls.)
"That's what you get for saying I'm not girly!" Gwen shouted at him as people were staring at the group warily.
The gang sweat dropped. "Gwen, people are staring..." Kurama was starting to say, but was interrupted by Gwen.
"I didn't hit you that hard. Get up, you moron!" Gwen ordered, kicking Yusuke's foot.
"...Gwen, how about having Hiei take you home? He's the fastest out of all of us. We'll be at the temple in a bit," Kurama offered.
"Okay, Kurama. Come on, Hiei," she replied, walking out of the mall. Hiei walked behind her, waiting until the people going in and out were out of sight. He picked up Gwen and ran to the temple.
She jumped out of his arms, running inside like mad. Hiei walked in, shaking his head, wondering how he ended up with her. He sat down on the couch and turned on the TV. During the two years in Ningenkai, Gwen had been teaching him how to use a TV and other appliances. He clicked through the channels, bored with every single channel until he stopped at a channel where The Matrix was playing. (Don't own the Matrix, but do own the DVD XD) He was watching the fighting scenes when Gwen opened the bathroom door, walking into the living room.
"Whatcha watching?" she asked as she jumped onto the couch, sitting next to Hiei. He just shrugged, and Gwen smiled. Looking around to make sure her neko wouldn't scare her, as usual, she settled in to watch the movie with him.
After the long silence of watching Neo kick the agent's ass, Gwen looked at Hiei, and Hiei, who saw her staring at him, stared back. Another of their staring contests began, until Hiei broke it, leaning in and kissing her, impatience finally getting the better of him. Gwen eagerly kissed back, laying down as Hiei climbed on top of her. Gwen remembered the last time they had one of their make out sessions, almost getting caught by Yusuke and Kuwabara. Hiei's hands fingered her back while she played with his hair. They only broke the kiss to get air, but they always started another one.
"Hey, have you seen...OH ENMA!"
Hiei and Gwen jumped and looked at the owner of the voice. Koenma looked at them, wide eyed. The two on the couch were red-faced with anger.
"What...do you want...binkie boy?" Gwen asked, clenching her teeth, wanting to kill the toddler.
"Uh, I was about to get Botan back to work, but I guess you two were working on the couch..." Koenma said, hentai grin on his face.
Gwen leapt at him, but Hiei grabbed her so they both ended up on the floor.
"Koenma...don't get me pissed or else I'll tell..." Gwen threatened, looking up at him.
Koenma sweat dropped, but said, "But then I'll tell everyone that you two..."
Hiei stood up, glaring at the demi god. "Finish your sentence and you'll be finding yourself in a situation that will be most impossible to get out of."
"I could very well send you to Spirit jail," Koenma said, pointing to Hiei, "and you out of your body and back to the dead." He pointed to Gwen.
The two stood there, looking at each other, thinking of a way to get revenge. They both smirked, looking at Koenma. Gwen walked up to him first and grabbed him, running with Hiei to the bathroom.
"Don't make us do this Koenma," Gwen said as she moved to the bathtub.
"NOT A BATH!" Koenma yelled as he slipped out of her grasp, but Hiei was at the door, locking it.
"Now, either keep your big mouth shut, or else I'm gonna give you a bath and wash your eyes out!" Gwen yelled.
"...Fine! I'll keep the secret. Just don't give me a bath!" (Never thought Koenma's worst fear was a bath... Koenma: It was because I thought I would go down the drain...)
Five minutes later, Koenma was waiting for Botan in the kitchen while Hiei and Gwen sat on the couch again. After a couple minutes of not hearing Koenma move around, they continued what they hadn't been able finish.
"Oh Enma!"
"Get off of me, Hiei!" Gwen snapped, pushing him off of her. They both looked and saw the gang staring down at them, shocked.
"Onna, you were the one pulling me," Hiei countered. Kurama just chuckled and walked to his room, unfazed by what just happened.
"Guys, just tell them," he said before he left.
"Fine, Kurama!" Gwen said, sticking her tongue out at his retreating form. She looked toward her friends and took a deep breath. "Hiei and I are together."
There was an uneasy silence until Kuwabara said, "Wait...the runt actually getting a hot chick? That's hard to believe."
"Hn. Baka," Hiei said, standing up. Gwen looked after him as the gang sat down, taking this all in. It took a while, but they finally got over it.
"Botan, Koenma's here looking for you," Gwen said as Hiei and Gwen walked to their rooms.
^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^
Two days later, Hiei had to go to the Makai to work. Gwen, who found school boring, went with Hiei. The gang visited them that night.
Gwen yawned as Carnation's tail started twitching. ~I feel something bad is gonna happen.~
~Maybe you've been around the TV too long,~ Gwen snickered.
~It's not funny! I haven't,~ she retorted. ~If you're gonna be like this, fine! I'm going to see Kurama and the others!~
~Cranky, aren't we?~ Gwen asked, smirking as Carnation walked out of the room.
Gwen yawned again, and got dressed into a white spaghetti strapped nightgown. She laid in her bed, fingering her necklace as she fell asleep.
Meanwhile, Hiei had gotten to his room, and fell asleep on his bed also, not even bothering to change clothes.
^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^Gwen's Dream^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^
I found myself looking at mirrors...everywhere I looked...I saw mirrors! My reflection was moving though, and she seemed angry.
"Well, aren't you living the perfect life, Gwen?" she said angrily. "Perfect friends, perfect boyfriend, perfect life... What else could you dream of!?"
'What the Hell?' I thought, looking at her. "You're wrong. I don't have the perfect life."
"You're so perfect, living a lie... living where you're constantly happy with your friends... There never was a perfect life! You're living a lie! You were an accident! You were a disgrace to your mother!"
I backed up, bumping into the wall, to find my reflection glaring down at me.
"You're wearing a mask! Spitting out lies! You say that you're all right, but you're not! You are nothing! You deserve to die and go to Hell!"
I covered my ears and closed my eyes, hoping that this will end if I didn't look.
"You're feelings are pretend! You're friends will find out you're really sad inside! They'll leave you for lying to them. Hiei will leave you!"
"Shut up! Shut up!" I laid on the floor, tears rolling down my face.
^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^Hiei's Dream^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^
I was walking in a snowy forest, seeing the onna in front of me. She smiled and ran to me.
"Hiei!" she called out, smiling. But when she reached me, she gasped, falling to her knees. I looked behind her, seeing someone stab her with a sword, a hawk...
^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^
During their dreams, both Hiei and Gwen slipped out of bed, walking out the doors of their rooms. They kept sleepwalking...
^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^Gwen's Dream^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^
I couldn't take it anymore! I stood up, shouting "I hate you! I hate you! I hate you!" Enraged, I went to my reflection and punched the glass as hard as I could, but the shards broke in different sizes, one huge shard cutting into my stomach...
^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^Hiei's Dream^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^
The onna fell to the ground, blood pouring out from the wound, staining the snow. I looked up, seeing the hawk advance me. They had another thing coming. No one hurts my onna! I stood up, hand on my katana, but was too slow as the hawk punched me. I swayed a bit, but I drew out my katana, piercing their abdomen. It stepped forward so I saw what it looked like. It was a female who looked like Aliana, but much younger.
^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^
In both dreams, a voice rang out, saying, "You know...nightmares can come true as well..."
Both Hiei's and Gwen's eyes shot open, only to stare at each other. They were outside; Hiei's cheek bruised, and his katana stuck in Gwen's stomach. Gwen looked down, touching the wound to see if it was real. But it was real...this was reality...
^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^
Muahahahahahahaha! I'm evil! Killing off Gwen again! By Hiei!
Hiei: Hn. That was stupid.
MNA: Tojikomeru, kawaii fire youkai. I think it was good. At least you had some action...!
Hiei walks away, blushing a bit.
MNA: I see you blushing, cutie!
Yusuke: *on the phone* Hai? Mental Institute? We have a girl who has gone insane. Yep, uh huh. Whatever. *hangs up*
MNA: o_o You're taking me to the happy place? NO! Not the happy place! *hides somwhere*
Kuwabara: ...Uh...review.
Yusuke: Now what are doing?
MNA: I'm keeping an eye out for flying pens!
The gang anime fell and MNA glared at a couple of pens nearby.
MNA: What are you staring at? I know what you did two nights ago! Flying at me when I was trying to grab you so I could write!
Kurama: MNA doesn't own YYH.
Carnation: Pardon her for OOC occurrences.

"Get off of me, Hiei!" Gwen snapped, pushing him off of her. They both looked and saw the gang staring down at them, shocked.
"Onna, you were the one pulling me," Hiei countered. Kurama just chuckled and walked to his room, unfazed by what just happened.
"Guys, just tell them," he said before he left.
"Fine, Kurama!" Gwen said, sticking her tongue out at his retreating form. She looked toward her friends and took a deep breath. "Hiei and I are together."
There was an uneasy silence until Kuwabara said, "Wait...the runt actually getting a hot chick? That's hard to believe."
"Hn. Baka," Hiei said, standing up. Gwen looked after him as the gang sat down, taking this all in. It took a while, but they finally got over it.
"Botan, Koenma's here looking for you," Gwen said as Hiei and Gwen walked to their rooms.

Two days later, Hiei had to go to the Makai to work. Gwen, who found school boring, went with Hiei. The gang visited them that night.
Gwen yawned as Carnation's tail started twitching. ~I feel something bad is gonna happen.~
~Maybe you've been around the TV too long,~ Gwen snickered.
~It's not funny! I haven't,~ she retorted. ~If you're gonna be like this, fine! I'm going to see Kurama and the others!~
~Cranky, aren't we?~ Gwen asked, smirking as Carnation walked out of the room.
Gwen yawned again, and got dressed into a white spaghetti strapped nightgown. She laid in her bed, fingering her necklace as she fell asleep.
Meanwhile, Hiei had gotten to his room, and fell asleep on his bed also, not even bothering to change clothes.
^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^Gwen's Dream^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^
I found myself looking at mirrors...everywhere I looked...I saw mirrors! My reflection was moving though, and she seemed angry.
"Well, aren't you living the perfect life, Gwen?" she said angrily. "Perfect friends, perfect boyfriend, perfect life... What else could you dream of!?"
'What the Hell?' I thought, looking at her. "You're wrong. I don't have the perfect life."
"You're so perfect, living a lie... living where you're constantly happy with your friends... There never was a perfect life! You're living a lie! You were an accident! You were a disgrace to your mother!"
I backed up, bumping into the wall, to find my reflection glaring down at me.
"You're wearing a mask! Spitting out lies! You say that you're all right, but you're not! You are nothing! You deserve to die and go to Hell!"
I covered my ears and closed my eyes, hoping that this will end if I didn't look.
"You're feelings are pretend! You're friends will find out you're really sad inside! They'll leave you for lying to them. Hiei will leave you!"
"Shut up! Shut up!" I laid on the floor, tears rolling down my face.
^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^Hiei's Dream^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^
I was walking in a snowy forest, seeing the onna in front of me. She smiled and ran to me.
"Hiei!" she called out, smiling. But when she reached me, she gasped, falling to her knees. I looked behind her, seeing someone stab her with a sword, a hawk...
^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^
During their dreams, both Hiei and Gwen slipped out of bed, walking out the doors of their rooms. They kept sleepwalking...
^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^Gwen's Dream^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^
I couldn't take it anymore! I stood up, shouting "I hate you! I hate you! I hate you!" Enraged, I went to my reflection and punched the glass as hard as I could, but the shards broke in different sizes, one huge shard cutting into my stomach...
^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^Hiei's Dream^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^
The onna fell to the ground, blood pouring out from the wound, staining the snow. I looked up, seeing the hawk advance me. They had another thing coming. No one hurts my onna! I stood up, hand on my katana, but was too slow as the hawk punched me. I swayed a bit, but I drew out my katana, piercing their abdomen. It stepped forward so I saw what it looked like. It was a female who looked like Aliana, but much younger.
^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^
In both dreams, a voice rang out, saying, "You know...nightmares can come true as well..."
Both Hiei's and Gwen's eyes shot open, only to stare at each other. They were outside; Hiei's cheek bruised, and his katana stuck in Gwen's stomach. Gwen looked down, touching the wound to see if it was real. But it was real...this was reality...
^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^
Muahahahahahahaha! I'm evil! Killing off Gwen again! By Hiei!
Hiei: Hn. That was stupid.
MNA: Tojikomeru, kawaii fire youkai. I think it was good. At least you had some action...!
Hiei walks away, blushing a bit.
MNA: I see you blushing, cutie!
Yusuke: *on the phone* Hai? Mental Institute? We have a girl who has gone insane. Yep, uh huh. Whatever. *hangs up*
MNA: o_o You're taking me to the happy place? NO! Not the happy place! *hides somwhere*
Kuwabara: ...Uh...review.
