What do you do with a Hiei?
It was late as Hiei found himself a tree to sleep in for the night. It was the beginning of winter. Snow was falling along with rain on this night. Soaking him to the bone; as he got comfortable and tried to get some sleep. Most people had homes and heater, but Hiei was not that lucky, all he had was himself and the knowledge his sister was safe. That was all he really need though.
He pulled his coat a little tighter as the wind picked up. The weather was getting worse, causing the trees to dance. After an hour, or so, Hiei knew he had to move, as an inch of snow had formed on him. Standing up he hopped down from the tree and walked into the park. It was empty of all humans and demons, no one being crazy enough to be out on the streets in this weather.
Hiei sigh as he came to the end of the park and the beginning of the streets. It was times like these he wished he had a home. Well not really a home, he loved the outside too much to be cooped up in a room. He wished for a place he could go on a cold night and be warm nothing more then that.
As he turned down a street corner some human came out of a bar coughing. He saw Hiei and coughed in poor Hiei's face (The man was drunk and couldn't stand up straight.) he nicely asked if Hiei had any spare change. Hiei angrily said 'no' and stormed off down the street. 'Filthy; disgusting; humans.' He growled as he whipped spit off his face. He was mad and would have killed the man, if he weren't already in trouble. Sighing, Hiei came to a stop in front of a building he knew well.
To his surprise Yusuke was outside sitting on the steps. He smirked as he jumped over to the young man. He didn't say anything to the sprit detective. He liked the human for the fact he was gifted, arrogant, aggressive and an all around badass. He thought of him as kind of kindred spirited.
"Hiei." Yusuke acknowledged the shorter man as he stood up. Hiei nodded in return. "It's a cold night out here. I figure you'd have found some tree to sleep threw this by now." Yusuke stated as he walked down the steps and join Hiei on the street.
"Hn. Not tonight." The two men walked down the street without a word as if they had planed this meeting; of course they had not. Neither Hiei nor Yusuke were the type to plan anything if they could help it. They both liked to live on the edge and without plans. As they rounded a corner Hiei decided to talk for the fact he was bored out of his mind. "Why are you out here?"
Yusuka made a slight snorting sound. "I locked myself out of my apartment and my mother is … well somewhere." The two stop at the street corner and looked at each other for a moment. "I know what your thinking, Hiei and for once I agree; I am a fool." Hiei smirked at the other man.
"You're not just a fool tonight." Hiei half smiled as they turned down a new street, heading to another friends house. Yusuke raised an eyebrow.
"Oh? What else am I then?" He asked as they got to the bottom of the steps.
"You're a cold fool." Yusuke laughed loudly and knocked on the door. As the door opened a blue hair woman looked around at the boys.
"Yusuke, Hiei? What are you doing here?" Botan asked as she looked at the two men on her door step. Hiei just glared at her as she open the door wider and stood in her long baggy, yellow pj's.
"Can we come in? It's cold out here!" Yusuke whined. She smiled stepping aside.
"Oh yes of coarse come on in." She said sweetly. "But I'd still like to know why you're out here in the first place." As Hiei walked inside he found a nice window to look out of, and made himself comfortable. Yusuke took off his shoes at the door. "I'm sorry Botan I locked myself out of my place and my mom is no where to be found. Is it alright if I crash here for the night?" The Blue hair woman smiled at him.
"Sure that will be fine, what about you Hiei what are you doing here?" Hiei felt kind of odd he wasn't sure what he was doing there fetchingly he didn't have to say anything.
"I kind of bumped into him and then brought him here with me. It is freezing out there after all." Hiei was about to say something about how he had somewhere else to be. But he had to wait as Botan got this worried look on her face and interrupted.
"You can't go back out there, you'll get sick. Yusuke you did the right thing bringing him here with you!" Hiei took this moment to 'Hn' and make his way to the door.
"I do not need to be here. I am leaving." Yusuke stepped in front of the door.
"Oh come on Hiei its cold out there. Just hang out here for the night." He then looked at Botan with a smiled and winked. "I beat Botan got some sweet snow." Botan took the hint.
"I sure do! I'd be glad to give you some if you stayed." She smiled sweetly at Hiei. Hiei looked from one to the other. 'Well it is warm in here and I can have some sweet snow. But I don't want them to think they won me over.' He crossed his arms over his chest.
"Hn." Was all he said as he returned to the spot next to the window. The other two knew they had won.
"Let me get you guys some pillows and blankets. Then I'll see what flavor of ice crea- Sweet snow I have." With that Botan left the room, with a chipper smile.
"Well its better then a cold tree." The other man said as he plopped down on the sofa. The sorter man looked over at him only blinking. "You know if you left Hiei you be the cold fool this time."
The sort fire demon snorted at the spirit detective. He leaned on the wall crossing his arms over his chest. Was it him or was it to hot in here? He decided to glare at Yusuke and join him in the room. When the sorter man sat in a chair the other man eyes seemed to fall on him.
"Are you feeling alright Hiei? You look kind of pale." All Yusuke got for a reply was an 'Hn' which meant 'Yes damn it I am fine!' It was funny how one little sound could mean so many different things. Botan returned with towels, pillow, blankets and vanilla ice cream (or sweet snow as Hiei called It.) for them both.
"You guys make yourself at home ok?" She said as she walked to the steps. "I am going to bed. Unless you need anything else." Neither man spoke; they only made some kind of a grunt to say they were fine. She left them alone with a good night.
