m-d: Hi! I just had to write this down!
Hiei: No, you didn't.
m-d: wacks him on the head Any way, enjoy!!
The usual group of four sat quietly in Koenma's large office, waiting for their instructions for a new mission - or whatever Koenma called them here for.
The toddler entered the room. " To start off, this isn't a mission." he announced. Everyone looked at him curiously - even Hiei, to some extent. Koenma cleared his throat. " It turns out that one of you has gotten a job recently. And, since no one else knows of it, I would like to visit the job with all of you tomorrow." The detectives looked at each other - except Hiei. No one looked at him.
The prince stood up, ending their looks. " So, I hope that you will enjoy their visit Hiei." he said and left the room - ending their conversation. Everyone turned their attention to the fire demon on the window sill. After a few uneasy moments the Koorime stood and left the room, followed by the three.
Back at Kurama's house…
Everyone was staying at Kurama's home - a sleepover. Kuwabara and Yusuke plopped themselves on one of the room's soft green couches once they arrived. Kurama took his seat on one of the chairs. Hiei just leaned against the wall as usual.
" So…." Yusuke started. "You know we are going to ask what's your job. So what is it?"
Hiei glared at the nigen. " You will find out tomorrow." he said, then turned back to look at the snow falling outside. Yusuke pouted.
" But I can't wait until then!" he whined.
" You'll learn to."
" TELL ME!!"
A katana was against Yusuke's throat. " Shut up and wait." Nodding, the Spirit Detective sighed as the sword was backed away from his throat and in Hiei's sheath on his side.
It was about nine o'clock that evening, and the group was I Kurama's room. The two nigens were playing Slap Jack. In which Kuwabara found himself losing every time. Kurama was in his chair at his work desk - watching the game between his reading. Hiei just laid quietly on the bed.
" That isn't fair!! You're cheating Urameshi!!" The oaf shouted suddenly.
" No duh!"
Kuwabara jumped up, obviously outraged and unknowing of what of do about it. He gazed at the bed. " Is Shorty asleep?" NO response from the bed. The three approached the bed and found the demon laying on his side, his ruby eyes closed.
" He looks so peaceful.." Kurama uttered at the site. And he did. It was the first time that the group had seen his face without pain, sadness, or anger on it. The small Koorime looked like a small boy when asleep.
" We didn't do anything today." Yusuke said.
" Then let's wake him up!!" Kuwabara shouted with joy. " Now how?" he thought.
" I've got it! I'll be right back" Yusuke rushed out of the room down the stairs. A few moments later, he came back up holding a bucket of water.
The two shared a high five at the idea.
" Don't wake him up guys. He probably needs the sleep." Kurama interjected.
" Too late for that" Yusuke grinned and handed the bucket to Kuwabara who let the contents drop non too gracefully on the sleeping youkai. Hiei jumped up to sit on the bed with a shout. He glared at Kuwabara with one of those you-are-going-to-die-no-matter-what-you-do glares.
" It was Yusuke's idea." he said in defense. Hiei moved his glare to now-the-both-of-you-are-going-to-die-and-Keonma-can't-stop-me-because-I'll-hide-and-he'll-never-find-me-and-I'll-torture-the-both-of-you-until-you-would-rather-die glares. Yes, in his mind he names them. Slowly, the Koorime got up and went to the bathroom to change form his now wet clothes and to dry his hair.
" Why'd you do that?" Kurama asked sharply, obviously mad at the two.
" 'cause…"
The kitsune rolled his eyes and looked as Hiei exited the washroom. He paused in front of the two who had thrown a bucket of water on him. He took at deep breath.
"WHY THE HELL DID YOU MORONS DO THAT?!!!! DOES THE FACT THAT SOMEONE'S SLEEPING IN THE SAME REGION AS YOU SEND A TRIGGER TO YOUR SMALL MIDS THAT YOU MUST DROWN THEM AND THEN EXPECT THEM TO BE FINE AND FORGIVE YOU, OR AT LEAST NOT KILL YOU!!!!!!!!!!!??" Hiei's glare was of a force that was unseen before by anyone. I won't even name it, it was that deep.
" Thankfully Shiori isn't here." Kurama said to himself softly. The fire demon couldn't help but let out a yawn and sag to he carpet. " Hiei…?" the kitsune said and the three walked over to him. He was asleep.
The next morning….
They had let Hiei sleep the rest of the night as they tried to decide on what they thought Hiei's new job was.
Of course the two nigens had smelled the eggs and bacon that Kurama was cooking downstairs and leapt from their sleep, leaving the still sleeping youkai behind in the room.
Downstairs, the two jumped into their seats at the table as told.
" Where's Hiei?" Kurama asked from his place at the stove. The two pointed upstairs as if they had practiced. Kurama sighed. " I don't know why he's sleeping this much. It's probably because of his job." After giving the two their meals, he headed upstairs to wake up his friend.
Entering his room, he found the Koorime snuggled up in the covers, his face giving off the innocent look it had last night before the two had slashed water on him. Kurama nudged the sleeping bundle. " Hiei….. Wake up…" Kurama called softly. Slowly, Hiei managed to open his ruby eyes and sit up in the bed. " It's time for breakfast Hiei. The other two are already down."
Hiei nodded sleepily.
" Have a question Hiei." Hiei motioned for Kurama to continue. " Are you tired because of your new job?"
Hiei smirked. " You figure that out for yourself when we get there." Kurama rolled his eyes at the answer.
" I'm serious Hiei."
" I'm serious Kurama."
Kurama followed his friend downstairs and gave Hiei his food as he sat at the table. Hiei looked at it and started to eat slowly.
" So, did you get enough sleep there Hiei?" Yusuke asked from across the table. Hiei didn't even take his eyes off the plate as he glared. He continued eating.
" When do we leave?" Kuwabara asked loudly. Hiei stood.
" When I'm done changing." he said and left to Kurama's room.
The three were waiting for him at the front door as he came down. He was wearing a black turtle neck shirt and black pants that flared at the bottom slightly. It all gave him quite a good look.
" Let's go!" Yusuke shouted. He could tell the other two were quite anxious to see where Hiei worked. Hiei lead the way down the sidewalk, followed by Kurama then the two behind.
After a while of walking they came to a large black building that looked very professional. They went inside.
Once inside, they were amazed - except for Hiei, who didn't stop. They walked down a hall that had doors on both sides. The most recent of which had Aerosmith's name on it.
" He's probably the janitor." Kuwabara said to Yusuke who couldn't help but let out a snicker.
Eventually, the group was led to a large room - which was filled with celebrities. They followed Hiei - all of them not wanting to cause a scene with their comments - to a taller man who was talking to Jessica Simpson casually.
" HIEI!!" Jessica shouted in joy and gave the boy a warm hug in greeting. " Who are your friends?" she asked, looking up at Kurama, Yusuke, and Kuwabara.
" I'm Kurama."
" Yusuke."
" and the Great Kuwabara."
Hiei sweat dropped at the name. Jessica shook their hands warmly.
" I'm glad you made it today Hiei, I thought you weren't coming today." the tall man said behind Hiei. " Oh! Silly me! I'm Brad Geanly, the director." he shook all of their hands. " Well, we have a lot to do today Hiei."
" Really?" Hiei said sarcastically.
" Yea. First we have to do as much of the new music video as possible before your performance today." he explained.
" Oh shit! I forgot about the concert today!" the Jaganshi said and knocked himself on the head playfully at his forgetfulness.
The three looked at each other. " Could we talk to you for a minute Hiei?" They pulled him into on of the side rooms after the had excused himself from the two. " Are you okay?" Yusuke asked, feeling Hiei's temperature.
He knocked Yusuke's hand away. " I'm fine. I'm just a little different at work. Are you okay with that?" he said and left the area, followed by the three back to the two.
" Now, do you have any ideas for the video?" the director asked. Hiei thought. He snapped his fingers as an idea hit him. He spun around and pointed his finger at Kuwabara in an instant.
" Kuwabara! You're going to be the subject of my video!"
The director got a questioned look on his face. Hiei turned around and whispered his idea in Brad's ear. Brad smiled and laughed. " Perfect!" he said and pulled Kuwabara's hand - leading him to another room. Once inside, everyone looked around to find a room filled with expensive camera's and equiptment of the sorts.
Later…..
After a while of Kurama, and Yusuke being stuck in Hiei's dressing room during the shooting, Kuwabara slammed open the door and the two inside burst out laughing. Kuwabara was wearing girl's jeans and a hot pink girls' t-shirt.
Hiei followed him in. He was wearing his clothes that he had worn here.
A knock on the wall beside the door and Hiei was called to talk with someone outside the room.
" So. How was it?" Kurama asked.
" It turns out that the video was about Hiei making fun of me the whole time!!" Kuwabara shouted in rage.
Hiei stepped back inside. He handed Kurama three small laminated slips in strings. " We have to go to the concert, so here are your VIP passes if you want to go." Hiei said.
" HELL YEAH WE DO!!" Yusuke said and grabbed the pass for him greedily.
M-d: tell me if you want me to write down the concert…
Hiei: I can't believe you….
m-d: yes you can…..
Hiei:…………….. Shut up you…..
