Disclaimer: I do not own Yu Yu Hakusho or any of its characters. Because I'm poor.

Author's note: 'Dis be my first fic so don't be too harsh with your reviews (if you decide to give me any) please! So anyway, it turns out that Hiei is afraid of the water because he is a fire demon and all that. Hiei and Kurama get dirty (NOT THAT WAY!!) and he has to give Hiei a bath. :)

Hiei approached the clearing where Yusuke, Kuwabara, and Kurama stood waiting for him. He was the last to arrive. "So what did you need, Detective?" Hiei asked blankly. Kuwabara answered for him.

"We were thinking, right, and—"

"You? Thinking?" the short one asked sarcastically. Kuwabara twitched a bit, making his orangey hair bounce a little. (I love the non-word orangey!)

"WATCH IT, SHORTY, OT I'LL PUMMEL YA!" he raged. "Okay., so it was Urameshi's idea, but… We figured that it'd be real fun to all go out and drink together!" he finished.

Hiei stared at the grinning Yusuke and Kuwabara like the idiots they were. "I'm leaving," he said flatly. He turned to go.

"Wait, Hiei," Kurama said, smiling a little. Hiei stopped but didn't look back. "It could be interesting. Won't you stay with… us… for at least a little while?" Kurama asked, holding back his urge to say 'me' instead of 'us.' Hiei's shoulders lowered a bit. He turned back to the group with a sigh, looking away to the right. He never could argue with that fox and win.

"Fine. I'll stay. For a while," he said shortly. Kurama smiled again.

"YAHOO!" Yusuke and Kuwabara exclaimed.

--later, at one of the local bars that Yusuke bribed to get beer from—

Kuwabara fell off his barstool, giggling like a maniac.

"Guess Kuwabara's out," Yusuke said thickly.

"Looks like you're about to hit your limit too, Yusuke," Kurama said. He and Hiei were both sitting rather composedly at the bar, kicking back shots. They'd both had over ten, but neither were showing the effects. They were demons, after all.

"Nah," Yusuke challenged. "I could drink more…" He paused and sniffed. He staggered up and walked unsteadily to Hiei. "Woah, Hiei, you's a stinky demon today!" He laughed.

"Really? Stand back, then." Kurama hopped off the barstool lightly and stepped away from Hiei, who was also now off his barstool. He pulled Yusuke back as well, since he was kind of drunk and hadn't stepped back on his own already.

Hiei's head was buzzing a bit as he stood. He was slightly drunk himself, otherwise he wouldn't have reacted at all to Yusuke's statement. He flared his aura. The next second, Hiei was consumed by red and orange flames. "There," he said. "Dirt gone, germs gone, stink gone. Are you happy now, Detective?" he asked grumpily, lowering his flames. Yusuke blinked.

"WOAH… That's how you bathe??" he asked incredulously.

"I don't bathe, idiot. I burn the uncleanliness away," said Hiei, still smoldering. The last of the flames went away and Hiei stood there smoking. Yusuke, in his drunken state, noticed like five minutes later, when Kurama and Hiei had both relaxed and had had a few more shots.

"OH MI GAWD, HIEI! You're burning!!" Yusuke yelled with a heavy slur to his words, sounding a little like Botan as he threw water on Hiei's head.

Hiei jumped in alarm and stiffened immediately after the water hit him. Kurama looked at Hiei, amazed. Hiei's expression was one of shock and fear. He shook a little. Kurama giggled quietly. 'He's like a kitten,' he thought. Hiei turned to Yusuke slowly, but wit anger. Kurama sensed the danger. 'but kittens have claws, too!' Kurama put his hand on Hiei's wet shoulder. Hiei jerked away.

"I… am going to KILL you, Urameshi!" Hiei growled.

"Erk!" was Yusuke's reply noise. Kurama stepped between the two and put both of his hands on Hiei's shoulders.

"Now, Hiei, don't' get upset! It was only a bit of water… Don't do anything rash, now...!"

Hiei glared at Yusuke from behind Kurama, but eventually calmed down. It took a while, however, as Hiei was more drunk that Kurama (because of his body mass) and needed quite a bit of persuasion. The tree sat down again and had even more alcohol.
