The Dance

~~Usual Disclaimers apply~~

This is dedicated to a friend of mine. She knows who she is. Hope ya like it Paige. After all, it WAS your idea.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The Reikai Tantai were on a mission for r&r. They were at a high school dance, everyone dancing except for Hiei, who was sitting in a corner muttering dark curses with a

cup of spiked punch. He had been asked to either dance or get out (from people thinking he was a little kid) plenty of times, and was sorely tempted to use his dragon and

torch the place. Only the sight of Yukina, even if she was dancing with the Oaf, saved him. Still, he wanted to leave, but Kurama had promised him some sweet snow if he

stayed. After a while, the song was over, and kurama came to sit next to him, followed by his dance partner, a pretty girl named Paige.

"Hello Hiei. Having fun?" He asked, watching Paige as she went to the restroom followed by her blonde friend Jordan.

"Hn. You call this fun?" Hiei responded.

"Well, maybe you should try dancing. After all, we are at a dance. Or do you not know how?"

"I can dance better than you can dream, kitsune." Hiei said, arrogance getting the better of him.

"Fine. A challenge. One dance with Jordan, Paige's friend. We will see who can dance better."

"Hn. Fine. But if I win, you have to buy me sweet snow for the next two months."

"Agreed."

Before Kurama could stop him, Hiei was streaking off towards the girl's restroom in search of Jordan. He opene the door and looked around. When he spttoed Jordan, he

went over and yanked on her shirt. She looked down, saw it was a guy without noticing it was Hiei, and slapped him a good one right across the face. He left with a curse.

Jordan turned to Paige, who was laughing at the whole scene.

"Can you believe him? The nerve of that little..."

"Actually, Jordan, I think he was about to ask you to dance. You should have waited. He's Kurama's friend, the one you kept saying was so cute."

"Oh, he was! Oh no! Well, if he was going to ask me to dance, he still has the rest of the night."

They left the bathroom and saw KUrama seated with Hiei, laughing fit to kill. Hiei appeared to be threatening him. As they approached, they heard his words.

"If you mention this to anyone, I"ll kill both you and the person you tell."

"But, Hiei, the challenge still holds."

Kurama got up and left with Paige, out for another dance. Hiei walked over to where Jordan was sipping her punch.

"Ningen, would you like to dance?" he asked.

"Um, sure, why not?"

As it turned out, Hiei WAS a better dancer than Kurama. (A/N: This is directed at Sam Tauer if she ever reads this)

The rest of the night passed pretty smoothly, Hiei and Jordan enjoying each other's company that they didn't stop at just the one dance. When the night was over, Kurama

handed him a carton of ice cream and a spoon. Hiei enhaled it. They all walke outside.

"Well, that was fun. Anyone up for cheeseburgers?" Kuwabara asked.

A small metal spoon connected with the side of his head with great force, seeming to come from Hiei's general direction.

Jordan:So how did everyone like it? Please r&r!

Paige: Easy for you to say, you ended up with Hiei!

Jordan: Well, you got Kurama, right?

Paige: Oh, yea!

Jordan:Sorry everyone. Forgive her, she knows not what she does. R&R!
