The aroma of cake spread throughout Genkai's temple. The girls were at Genkai's this week to have one of their much needed Girl's night. Yusuke was out in the Demon world, Kuwabara was working, Kurama was also working, and no one ever knew where Hiei was.
"Botan can you hand me the icing; these cupcakes have cooled off," Keiko said trying to reach across Botan who was mixing another batch of cupcakes. Botan handed Keiko a small round tub of chocolate icing.
Behind the two girls Shizuru and Yukina ran by the door way heading to the living room. Shizuru turned up the radio blasting the music throughout the entire house. The Ice Maiden went to close and lock all the doors.
Putting the last batch of cupcakes in the oven, the girls were finally done and could relax now. Botan grabbed the chips and Shizuru snatched the drinks off the counter as they made their way to an empty room in the temple. They laid out blankets and pillows then got confortable.
"So," Shizuru started taking a swig out of a wine bottle, "Spill." "Yes spill," Botan said munching on a few more chips. Keiko put aside her bag of crunchy mixed snacks and leaned in to the circle. "It's Yusuke. He's been so distant since he came back from the demon world. Plus it doesn't help that he constantly goes back."
"Well if you want him to stop going just tell him," Shizuru lit a cigarette. "I couldn't do that," Keiko moped, "He would be miserable." Shizuru close her eyes and shifted, "Well then don't bother him about it."
"Or you could try and find a way to work it out by telling him how you feel," Botan said with her index finger up in the air.
*beep beep beep* the oven went off; the girls looked at each other slightly confused.
"The cupcakes shouldn't be done yet," Yukina said, "I set the timer for 18 min." Shizuru was the only one not affected, "Well then someone should go check it then." Yukina and Botan got up and made their way to the kitchen. They were met by a short, spiky haired, red eyed demon holding an uneaten cupcake in his hand. He looked over to the girls, blushing when he came in eye contact with Yukina.
"Hiei," Botan said confused by his presences, "I thought you locked all the doors?" Yukina looked to her then to Hiei, "I did but I am sure Hiei is over qualified to get into a locked house."
Hiei glanced at both of them one more time before sneaking a bit of his cupcake, he had a feeling this was the only one he was getting. Keiko and Shizuru walked into the kitchen door way, "What's going on guys?" Keiko asked. As both girls started to realize the situation Keiko looked to Yukina, "Oh I thought you locked all the doors."
Taking a final bit of his delicious cupcake, Hiei looked back at the girls, "You might want to also lock the windows if that's your concern. I can leave," Hiei swallowed and started to walk back towards the window but Yukina stopped him, "You must have came in because it's raining," she said noticing forms of water drops appearing on the window. "Please you can stay." Hiei hesitated, he wasn't really thinking the offer over but he wasn't exactly sure how to correctly respond.
"Yes Hiei please stay. You can join us!" Botan exclaimed excitedly. "I thought this was a girl's day?" Shizuru commented but it was just like hearing a voice way in the back of your head. "That's a wonderful idea!" Keiko and Yukina chimed in.
Hiei definitely was opposed to the direction this was taking, but he had another feeling, it wasn't going to be his decision whether he stayed. The girls stopped the timer and pulled Hiei into the other room with them against his will.
Good news, he would definitely get more cupcakes.
