Ever since they met, everyone had the same question in their heads, what goes on in Hieis mind. The fire demon was quite when they first met and hasn't changed at all, sure he become powerful and found a "friend" in Kurama, but unlike said boy and his other comrades Hiei hasn't changed, always the same quite, short-tempered, third eye, fire demon.
"Okay that's it I can't take it anymore!" Yusuke shouted form his spot on the couch.
"What are you shouting about now Yusuke?" Kurama asked walking into his home, he and Hiei agreed to move in together as roommates.
"The detective is being a pain in the ass." Hiei said looking at Kurama and then back at said boy sitting in front of him.
"How long have you been here Yusuke?" Kurama asked noting that Kuwabara was nowhere in sight.
"Since noon." Yusuke answered without breaking eye contact with Hiei as though his life depended on it, Kurama looked at the clock in the kitchen he was surprised that his home was still in one piece, and he couldn't believe that Yusuke had been here for over three hours just looking at Hiei.
"Yusuke why are you here?" Kurama called out from the kitchen.
"Kuwabara said he was stopping by on the way home to take us all out…..class was let out early and I came over. Didn't expect to see short stuff here doing nothing as always." Yusuke answered the question still not looking away from Hiei.
"Okay, so back to the first question what can't you take anymore?" Kurama asked coming into view as he stepped into the living room gently placing his jacket over the back of a chair he was standing behind.
"Him." Yusuke said pointing to Hiei as though that explained everything in the world.
"What about Hiei?" Kurama asked wondering how they all worked together in the past.
"What is he thinking, he rarely ever talks and when he does it's like five or six words at the most." Yusuke said with aggravation lining his voice as he gripped his head and messed up his head.
"Don't think too hard detective." Hiei mocked Yusuke with a small grin.
"You bastard what the hell are you thinking, what the fuck is going on in that mind of yours?" Yusuke asked narrowing his eyes to Hieis forehead as thought that might help somehow.
"Yusuke, I'm sure that even the sanest person doesn't want to know what's going through Hieis mind. No offence of course Hiei." Kurama said to both his friends, Hiei grunted and then looked at Yusuke watching him go nuts over what he was going through Hieis mind.
"You've never been curious about why he barely ever says anything?" Yusuke asked Kurama as he turned on the red-head.
"Well Yusuke I must admit there was a time when I did wonder what Hiei thought about, but that passed and now I just respect that he doesn't say much. It's who he is." Kurama said deciding to remove himself from the conversation by heading to the stairs. "I have some work to do. Please inform me when Kuwabara arrives." Kurama told both boys as he disappeared up the steps. Hiei and Kurama bought a two story house with four bedrooms and three and a half bathroom.
"Ugh damnit all!" Yusuke shouted once more as he glared at Hiei hoping something had changed. "Common what are you thinking?" Yusuke asked Hiei who raised an eyebrow. "Now what? Wanna doggie biscuit Fido?" Yusuke asked receiving a glare from the shorter male as he stood up and left after Kurama.
"Hey common!" Yusuke called out after Hiei. "Damn you Hiei." Yusuke said mainly to himself as he sat back on the couch and turned on the TV to pass the time until Kuwabara got off.
"Yes Hiei?" Kurama asked feeling the presence of the fire demon at his door way. Kurama had his room set up with his bed next to his closet and his desk in front of the window.
"That damned detective is becoming annoying." Hiei said walking into Kuramas room and settled himself on his bed.
"Hiei you have your own room." Kurama said stopping what he was doing to turn around in his chair to face Hiei.
"You were interested to?" He asked referring to the answer Kurama gave Yusuke.
"Yes I was." Kurama answered, he had no reason to hide anything from Hiei and he had no reason to lie to Hiei either. "Why are you asking me?" Kurama asked finding that the way Hiei was acting a bit out of character.
"Why come you never asked?" Hiei asked him, Kurama blinked at his roommate and thought that he heard a bit of concern in his voice. Kurama stood up from his chair and sat next to Hiei on his bed.
"Because unlike our friend downstairs I have respect for you on a different level than Yusuke does. And that includes your private life; I only ask the questions I know you won't mind answering." Kurama answered thinking it cute for the fire demon to be acting like this. Kruama gave himself a mental shake, how could he use such a word to describe the one person in his life, aside from his family, he was in love with. "Hiei why does this sudden news bother you?" Kurama asked the fire demon to take his mind off of the love he'll never have.
"It doesn't bother me." Hiei protested.
'Sure it doesn't.' Kurama thought to himself but thought it best not to verbalize that thought.
"Kurama." Hiei called him away from his thoughts.
"Yes Hiei?" Kurama looked at the fire demon next to him; he was so adorable how he acted as though nothing got to him.
"You were thinking about me weren't you?" Hiei asked looking at the fox who froze, how had he been caught he'd been so careful not to let his thoughts show. Deciding that he should speak Kurama opened his mouth to say something only to see Yusuke walk into his room.
"Yes?" Kurama asked the boy, never being so thankful that Yusuke had such bad timing in his life.
"I was calling you, Kuwabra's here and he says we're going to a bar." Yusuke said grinning from ear to ear and then looked at Hiei.
"What is it detective?" Hiei asked looking away from Kurama to look at Yusuke.
"Let's make a bet."
"Oh no." Kurama said with worry evident in his voice.
"What kind of bet?" Hiei asked smiling; Kurama feared the humor that he heard in Hieis voice.
"If you get drunk before me you have to tell me why you're always so damned quite." Yusuke said as though he would easily win hands down.
"And when you become drunk before me?" Hiei asked with confidence that he wouldn't lose to Yusuke.
"Ha, I don't think I've ever seen you even touch alcohol before so this bet is mine hands down. But I suppose if you even win you could…order the loser around for a week." Yusuke said thinking about a prize Hiei would be interested in.
"Umm Yusuke aren't you and Hiei the only ones doing this bet?" Kurama asked deciding he should get dressed but stopped short of his closet as he listened to the two.
"Fuck no, Kuwabara and you are in on this bet." Yusuke said to the fox.
"But I never agreed to anything like this." Kurama said with slight horror. Drinking until he was drunk? He knew it was possible to become intoxicated off of wine but he didn't want to find out how many glasses it took, and suddenly the commercial of 'how many licks does it take to get to the center of the tootsie pop?' popped into his mind, shaking away the thought he concentrated on the conversation before him .
"But you're curious." Yusuke said.
"I told you I was, therefor making it past tense Yusuke." Kurama corrected his friend. "And I drink wine and only wine." Kurama made a point to emphasize his drink.
"Yeah, yeah, all the more reason for you to help us." Yusuke told him.
"Okay think of it this way, someone has to be sober to drive you all back home safely." Kurama countered hoping that would help his cause some.
"Kuwabara already had a cab for us; all we have to do is call the number….or have the bar call for us." Yusuke said laughing at the memory when he and Kuwabara got drunk and had to have the bar owner call them a cab.
"Yes, well I refuse to become intoxicated for some stupid bet." Kurama decided to put his foot down, he didn't want to wake up with a pounding headache and questions about why his body was pained in the oddest places.
"Oh common Kurama, you afraid that if Hiei somehow manages to win he'll pick you to be his slave for the week?" Yusuke asked which caused the red-head to lightly blush and turn his back to the two in his room. Hiei smiled at the sight of the fox and his reaction to Yusukes suggestion, even though it was true and the detective didn't know it. Hiei looked at Yusuke and held out his hand.
"Deal." He said.
"Hell yeah!" Yusuke said taking Hieis hand and shaking it, Kurama turned to face both boys just in time to see them dropping their hands, he was going to kill Yusuke and then Hiei for this stupid bet and dragging him into it. Kurama chewed both Hiei and Yusuke out for added him in this stupid bet that he never asked to be a part of the guys changed and headed off to get something to eat at a local restaurant.
"Dude this feels odd." Kuwabara complained he looked around to see other people staring at him and his group as they sat down to eat. He'd been out with the others before but he never had people stare at them.
"Aww what-the-fuck-ever, suck it up and keep eating. We'll want to be full of food when we win." Yusuke said as he slapped his friend on the back with a big smile plastered on his face. Kuwabara and Kurama both looked at each other and shook their heads, they knew that when it came down to drinking Yusuke had everyone bet hands down.
"I suggested you two make a bet, not add me and Kurama in on it." Kuwabara complained again.
"Dude come off it. We already shook on it your lives hang in the balance of you being able to hold your drinks." Yusuke told them taking a huge bite of his hamburger. Kuwabara order a stake with a side order of fries and mash potatoes, Yusuke order a double hamburger with extra cheese with fries. Hiei ordered soup, and Kurama ordered a salad not really feeling up to eating too much. Especially if he was getting drunk, he shook his head and saw a group of girls looking at him and his friends.
"What time does this bar open?" Kurama asked giving the girls a smile.
"Six so we have about thirty minutes left." Yusuke answered while chewing his burger.
'Honestly doesn't he have any manners?' Kurama asked himself ignoring his friend and focusing on his own food in front of him. It was only four o'clock when he came home and about five minutes after that when Kuwabara arrived, the boys still had to get dressed which took longer than Kurama had expected, but Yusuke claimed that he didn't have the shirt he wanted to wear that night, so Kuwabara had to drive Yusuke the thirty minutes to their home and back to Kuramams only to find Yusukes shirt in Kuwabaras room. So there was an hour burned, but then Yusuke suggested that they get something to eat before the "contest" and threw some ideas around only to come up with a restaurant that was across the street from the bar. Kurama sighed as he looked out the window at his fate, the bars name even made him sigh, The Hot Spot. Why would anyone want to call their bar that, it then took Yusukes explanation to help Kurama understand. The bar was once a strip club and when it went out of business the new owner didn't want to change the name and just left it as it was, Yusuke even said that they kept the poles up.
"Hey earth to Kurama." Yusuke called out waving a hand in front of the foxes face to get his attention.
"Sorry yes?" Kurama asked looking at Yusuke.
"You okay?" Yusuke asked, Kurama lightly glared at his friend he didn't think he'd have to answer that question seeing as how he was forced into this bet without a thought or even a say on if he wanted to be in it or not. "What?" Yusuke asked.
"No, Yusuke I am not okay." Kurama answered his friend with sternness in his voice.
"Dude come on, it's just one little bet and it'll be over before you know it." Yusuke said looking at Hiei who ignored Yusuke.
"Fine." Kurama gave into the fact his friend was right. As much as he had faith in Hiei, he had never seen the fire demon consume anything with alcohol in it. So the chances of Hiei actually winning were slim.
Of course everyone can be wrong about a person they thought they knew better than anyone else. Kurama and Kuwabara sat at the bar resting their heads on the counter as Yusuke and Hiei shot back drink after drink after drink. Kurama couldn't believe it; Hiei was showing no signs of being drunk or even close to being drunk. The guys had finished eaten and paid for dinner, Kuwabara took a spot in line at the bar as Kurama and Hiei followed a very joyous Yusuke. Never in his life had he seen someone so happy to see another become drunk over a little bet, Kurama shook his head and looked at Kuwabara who felt the same way he did, pissed, annoyed and a tad bit scared of who Hiei might pick if he won that was. Once inside everyone started off with three shots of Tequila and picked their drinks of course Kuramas was red wine as always. Kuwabara had an Irish car bomb, Yusuke had his trusted Zombie drink, and Hiei chose a drink that no one would have picked him for which was straight Vodka. The group was shocked at the order but didn't say anything about it and let the fire demon be; when their drinks got to them Kurama was already starting to feel light headed. Said boy only lasted about five rounds before he opted himself out, Kuwabara wasn't too far behind him as the seventh round came about he went to the bath to vomit his food and sit out next to the fox.
"'upid tee is." (Translation: stupid three eyes) Yusuke slurred out causing both Kumara and Kawabata to look at each other and then at Yusuke, they saw that Yusuke was swaying in his own seat. The boys kept going on without Kumara and Kawabata, if Kumara kept track the drinks coming their way would suggest that they were going on their thirtieth round, Kuwabara and Kurama shook their heads and were shocked at the winner being Hiei.
"Are you done detective?" Hiei asked Yusuke as he downed his drink, Kuwabara stared at Hiei with his jaw dropped. How he was able to still talk correctly….no not even talk correctly, how was Hiei even able to sit up right?
"What the hell?" A drunken Kuwabara asked Kurama who shook his head. Even the fox was curious as to how Hiei was sober; of course the word sober flew out the window when Yusuke feel out of his seat and Hieis feet hit the floor. Immediately the fire demon begun to sway, lightly shaking his head, which the fox soon cursed at the action, Kurama flagged down a bartender.
"Yes, could you….call a ab…cab for us?" Kurama asked him trying his best to not slur his words; the fox knew he was drunk but not as drunk as Yusuke or Hiei who seemed to be losing a battle with gravity.
"Sure." The guy said walking over to the phone and dialed the number, he then nodded over at Kurama and the others letting them know that the cab was already out front.
'I suppose Yusuke was right about one thing,' Kurama thought to himself as he walked over to Hiei.
"Need any help?" He asked the demon who looked at him and smiled…'he's drunk.' Kurama thought to himself and walked close to Hiei in case he fell. Kurama felt bad for leaving Kuwabara with an overly drunk Yusuke who kept making kissy faces at the other boy while saying the oddest things and groping Kuwabara in the most disturbed places.
It was two in the morning when the boys got outside Kuwabara took a deep breath of air and held back the urge to vomit again. Kurama however enjoyed the feeling of the crisp air that consumed them, leading the group to the cab that was waving them to come over he helped Hiei and Yusuke to the cab. Following Kuwabara into the back Kurama told the driver their address and let him do is job wondering if Yusuke will drop the silly topic now that he lost. Fifteen minutes later the cab pulled up to the house, Kuwabara got Yusuke out and Kurama paid and tipped the driver, after that was done he helped Hiei out of the car and up the steps.
"Kuwabara if you feel the need to vomit please rush to the bathroom." Kurama told the orange-haired boy watching as is face turned from its usual flesh color to green after nodding okay to the fox. Kuwabara dragged Yusuke his room and dropped Yusuke onto his bed as he collapsed beside the touchy feel detective who kept saying the oddest things.
"Kuchara…lets ve um un..." (Translation: Kuwabara lets have some fun) Yusuke slurred his words again laughing loudly.
"Knock it off idiot." Kuwabara said.
"Owww….you in't veta urt me..." (Translation: you didn't have to hurt me) Yusuke complained causing Kurama to smile as he helped the fire demon up to his room.
"You're room." Hiei ordered.
"Okay." Kurama said passing Hieis room and heading toward his, Kurama hoped he locked the door as he gently placed Hiei on his bed and headed to the bathroom. Kurama walked out of the bathroom dressed for bed and found Hiei dead asleep on his bed shirtless and almost pant less.
"Oh Hiei what to do with you?" Kurama asked himself as he finished undressing the fire demon who groaned, Kurama tossed a mental coin to close his room door as he heard loud moans from downstairs. It seemed that even a drunk Yusuke gets what he wants. Kurama looked at the door and then thought about the steps deciding he wouldn't hear anything once he fell asleep Kurama get into bed with the fire demon and was off in lala land the instant his head hit the pillow.
"Don't you ever turn that damned thing off?" Hieis groggy voice sounded next to Kurama who woke up to his alarm clock going off and hearing Yusuke downstairs, Kurama feared to look at his clock, but new he had to in order to set order in his home. Rolling over to face his desk he grimaced seeing that the time read 7:15 a.m. He was going to kill Yusuke first and go back to sleep.
"Wake up!" Yusuke yelled from downstairs, even though it was only Saturday people were still asleep, deciding that now wasn't the time to think of sleep Kurama pushed the overs off of him and sat up. He let out a groan and held his head, but what Kurama was feeling was nothing compared to the pain Hiei was feeling the fire demon was still laying down covering he head with a pillow trying to drown out the sound of a yelling Yusuke, once that proved to fail Hiei removed the pillow and sat up.
"Shut up you damned, idiotic detective!" Hiei shouted out which only proved to be more painful for him than anyone else as he cradled his head with his hands. "Stupid idiotic detective should have killed him when I had the chance." Hiei grumbled to himself pushing his body away from Kuramas bed and heading to the door.
"Shall we tell him who won?" Kurama asked Hiei walking next to the fire demon as he escorted him downstairs, instantly Kurama smelt tea and coffee being made and found Kuwabara in the kitchen. "Thank you so much." Kurama thanked the other with a kind smile.
"No problem, figured we all needed a good hangover remedy." Kuwabara explained to Kurama after shooting Yusuke a glare.
"Yeah, yeah shut up. So who won?" Yusuke asked turning to face the others as Hiei stood next to him. Both Kuwabara and Kurama pointed to Hiei, which only proved to shock Yusuke who demanded for prof which they gave him via their phones.
"I'm sa user." A drunken Yusuke sounded happy to say that.
"This was idiotic as always." Hies voice calmly sounded from the phone as the background sound filled the house with nose.
" 'I'm sa user?' What the fuck does that mean?" Yusuke asked.
"Translation: 'I'm the loser.'" Kuwabara told Yusuke with a glare.
"The hell? You cheated I want a redo!" Yusuke shouted and pointed a finger at Hiei.
"A deals a deal Yusuke." Kuramas voice sounded from next to Kuwabara who agreed.
"What-the-fuck-ever, fine which one of us will be you "slave" for the week?" Yusuke asked crossing his arms as he looked at Hiei, who seemed to be enjoying the looks on Kuwabara and Kuramas faces.
"Well since you ask so nicely detective…you." Hiei said with a smile tuning to look at Yusuke.
"Ha so Kurama there ya…me?" Yusuke asked in shock as he turned to look at the fire demon who had the world's biggest grin on his face.
"Yes you."
"You little…"
"Now, now Yusuke this was your idea and there are only three of us." Kurama said, relived that he was not the one to be picked. Yet he was angered that he wasn't pick, Kuwabara on the other hand seemed to also be angered but not about not being picked.
"Shove it fox boy." Yusuke said causing Kuwabara to grimace and Kurama to smile.
"Get on your hands and knees." Hiei ordered Yusuke, the raven-haired boy turned to look at Hiei in shock at the sudden order as did the others who could only wonder what was going through his mind now.
"The hell, why?" Yusuke asked.
"I'm the master, down now." Hiei said with venom in his voice, he then smirked as he saw the detective do as he was told while mumbling something about killing the fire demon once this was all over. Of course by then Yusuke might like being a slave of sorts.
"Yes you pain in the ass, short as hell, crazy being that exists on this planet." Yusuke told him. He looked up at Hiei.
"Shut your eyes." Hiei ordered causing Kurama and Kuwabara to look at each other in question and then back at their friends.
"What the fuck are you gonna do to me?" Yusuke asked.
"Nothing idiot just do as I tell you." Hiei commanded Yusuke who closed his eyes. Hiei walked over to the couch and picked up something.
"Is that…." Kuwabaras voice trailed off after feeling Hiei glare at him. He attached the thing in his hands around Yusukes neck and fastened it tightly almost to the point of choking the detective.
"What the hell is this?" Yusuke asked after Hiei was done and opened his eyes, he looked back at his friends. Kuwabara was laughing his ass off whereas Kurama was hiding a smile behind he cup of tea. "What?" Yusuke asked standing up. He turned to look down at Hiei with a glare in his eyes.
"Yes my slave?" Hiei asked with a smirk.
"Jerk, what the fuck did you put around my neck?" Yusuke asked.
"Yusuke could you come here please?" Kurama called out not being able to resist the joke.
"Sure whatever." Yusuke said as he turned to walk over to Kurama only to be yanked back by his neck and fall to the ground. "What the hell?" Yusuke asked the others who started to laugh; he looked up at an approaching Hiei who held his hand out to show a black leash. Yusuke placed a hand around his neck and felt studs popping out from something leathery, his eyes widened at the sudden realization. "A fucking collar?!" He yelled out causing Kuwabara to laugh harder to the point he fell to the ground.
"Yes, after all I am your master." Hiei said with an eerie smile.
