AN: I wrote this story on a request. It's my second attempt at a romance fic, so please be nice.

Disclaimer: I don't own YYH. I don't think I ever will. So I don't think I'll be restating the obvious at the beginning of every chapter. I don't own Aoshi, though I do have permission to use her. I do not own It's the End of the World as We Know It by REM.

Claimer: I own Xeilin, Mal, Kreg Landsworth, and the concept of behind this story.

Warnings: A little OOC from all the characters. Teen parties, some fighting, strong language are the reasons why I safely rated this story PG-13. Rating subject to change.

Chapter 1: It's the End of the World as We Know it (Kuwabara)

It's weird! Hiei's been hanging around a lot lately. I see him playing in the arcade all the time. I've seen him on the roof talking to people I like to hang out with.

But he hasn't been hanging around just me. I've seen him at the mall, buying clothes or food. One time I saw him looking at couches! Couches!? What the hell would he do with a couch!? Yet, he wants to get one….

These are the thoughts that have been plaguing my mind lately.

"-and so she walks up to him and says, 'if you want to be a mangled heap, I'll be glad to help you!'. Then the guy turns around and says, 'do you really want me to scar you for life!?'. Then he jumps up and starting doing the Hocky Pocky." Yusuke went on with his story, even though I didn't play the slightest bit of attention to him.

"That certainly would scar a person for life!" Kurama exclaimed. The three of us were eating pizza (on Kurama of course). I don't remember why we were doing this, perhaps Kurama just wanted to hang out or something.

I glanced out the window and saw the world's most disturbing sight.

Hiei was walking by the pizza parlor, wearing nice clothes and holding a bouquet of red roses. He had a dream-like look on his face, as if he was thinking of pleasures to come or something lovey-dovey like that. Lovey-dovey!? That term should not be used when describing Hiei unless you include a 'not'! But yet it was describing the look on his face perfectly. Hiei left view.

"Holy shit!" Was all I had to say.

"Kuwabara?" Kurama raised a surprised eyebrow and Yusuke just stared at me.

"Hiei! He had a bouquet! Looking all lovey-dovey like a guy who's going on a date! And it was obsessive too!" Yusuke stared at me, a bit startled.

"Oh that!" Yusuke and I turned to look at Kurama. "Hiei got a girlfriend, he was probably going to see her."

"Girlfriend!?"

"Well, Hiei was trying to understand human culture a bit better so he got a job and an apartment. The girl across the hall asked him out on a date and he decided to tag along and see what there was to see. And they've been going steady since." Kurama clasped his hands to his mouth and gave us the looked that said 'I so dead! I wasn't supposed to say anything!'. Knowing Hiei, that was the case.

"Well that does explain why I've been seeing him around lately!" I said to no-one.

"So who's the girl?" Yusuke asked Kurama.

"I don't know, he didn't say." Kurama muttered, a little afraid to say anything.

"That's it!" Kurama and I stared at Yusuke. "Let's go stalk him and find out who it is!" With that he dragged us out of the pizza parlor, leaving Kurama enough time to pay.

"He was going this way!" I pointed, knowing Yusuke would need that.

Later, at the apartment Hiei is currently staying at

Hiei took out a key chain and opened the door to room number 667. He went inside and shut the door with a small 'snap' noise. We stared at it.

Du-du-du-dum! Du-du-du-dum! Du-du-du-dum-dum! Came the sound of loud drums from room 666, which was right across the hall from Hiei's room.

"That's great it starts with an earth-quake, birds and snakes, an aeroplane. Lenny Bruce is not afraid…!" The music roared. Hiei came out of his room, still holding the bouquet.

"OPEN UP!!" He bellowed over the music. The door opened to reveal a tall blond with blue eyes. She looked friendly and happy. She wore a full-length purple dress, which complimented her golden blond hair. She would have looked even more stunning if her hair flowed down to her waist, but it stopped, rather disappointedly at her shoulders.

I would have taken a look at Hiei's face. But with the door open the music was even louder and sent the three of us toppling backwards.

"Eye of a hurricane! Listen to yourself churn! World serves it's own needs, dummy sever your own needs!" The music blasted.

"SHUT THE DAMN THING OFF!!" Hiei managed to bellow over the music. His face red from yelling. I'm surprised that he hadn't been sent into a near-by wall by the music. The girl disappeared into the room and the music came to an abrupt stop.

"God Xei! Can you stand to keep the volume down a few notches!?" Hiei raged at her. She looked him with a bit of annoyance. She reached out and pinched his check.

"I was going to practice my shooting and Mr. Landsworth doesn't like it when he can hear me banging my knees on the floor! That's why I put on loud music!" She eyed the bouquet knowingly.

"Ow!" Hiei put is free hand on his sore cheek. He handed her the bouquet and she nodded with one of the world's most impressive smiles. It was genuinely happy.

"How the hell does someone as nice as you wind up on the wrestling team?" Hiei asked her.

"I wrestled in high school to stay in shape over the winter so I could be ready for track. I got good." She gestured at something inside the room that I couldn't see. "I'm undefeated this season and I plan on keeping it that way!" She stood there, proudly.

"And you're doing to shoot in that dress?" Hiei raised a skeptical eyebrow.

"I was planning on changing then you started screaming at the door, so I answered it instead." She explained.

"If you have to play that obnoxious music, could you at least change the song? I know the lyrics to 'It's the End of the World as We Know it' by heart, and that was not something I ever intended to do!" He snapped at her.

"In life, a lot of things you don't intend to happen, do. Not everyone falls in love with the one person they've always dreamed of. I sure as hell didn't!" She stepped back into her room. "I'll listen to 'Stand' instead." She shut the door.

Hiei threw his hands into the, admitting his defeat. He sighed and went back into his room as the music began to roar.

"Something just happened their that I don't think we'll ever understand." Kurama remarked as we left the building. Yusuke and I nodded dumbly.

Later in room 666 (Aoshi)

"Stand in the place where you live!" The music boomed as I entered the room. Xei was on the floor practicing various wrestling moves on a dummy. That would have been making a racket if the music wasn't on. I walked over and kicked her in the leg. Then, I reached my hand out and pushed the stop button on the CD player.

"Hallelujah!" Hiei cried in relief across the hall. I started snickering.

"At this rate, you're gonna make my boyfriend deaf!" I teased her. She smiled somewhat stupidly from her awkward-looking position on the floor.

"He'll just have to deal then! Oh yeah! Those roses in the orangey-green vase I have over there." She pointed at the vase in question. Xei was quiet an artist, though she didn't have time to make art, she always had her intriguing works of the past lying around.

"Just like him to get me blood red roses…." I remarked.

BAM! The dummy hit the floor hard as Xei carelessly discarded it. She got up and grabbed a pink dress and a towel.

"Do you think Hiei will be pissed if I get to the shower before he does?" She asked me as she walked out the door.

"Yes." Xei smiled evilly and left. About two minutes later I heard a familiar cry that I had learned to love.

"Dammit!!" Hiei roared. He yelled like this every night at 6:03 exactly. I giggled. As he stormed down the hall and opened the door to glare daggers at me.

"You didn't stop her!" He snapped at me.

"Do you think I have a death wish?" I cocked my head at him. He entered and shut the door.

"I'd love to see her try to take on a Yokai! She may be strong, but you are a lot stronger!" He pointed an accusing finger at me.

"How many times do I have to tell you? She comes from a family of psychics! On both sides might I add!" He looked to the side.

"Hn."

"Thanks for the roses." I walked over and kissed him on the forehead. He blushed and continued to look away. "You're so cute when you pout!"

"That was not the intention, onna!" He snapped at me, turned redder. I just smiled at him. He took a few deep breaths. "I'm glad you liked them." He eyed the roses. I gave him a hug.

"You go get some sleep! I'll keep Xeilin quiet." He raised a skeptical eyebrow and left.

"My little Hiei…." I muttered obsessively to myself.

AN: Flame me, praise me. Just tell me what you think! I'm gonna be updating this every Friday and Tuesday. R&R!!
