A/N: This is my first fanfiction in quite some time so please be nice . Let's get this party started :D
Hiei, our small fire demon friend, is sitting on a ledge outside the house that all the YYH characters and some OC's live in in the Ningenkai. Hoshi, also a fire demon, is picking flowers with Yukina and Keiko and Botan (yes, she lives with them.) in a field not too far away. Kurama is cleaning dishes.
Hoshi picks up a handful of flowers and turns to Yukina. "Yukina, what do you think of these flowers? Will Hiei like them?"
"I don't really know. What do you think Botan?"
"Well... " Botan thinks back to one time when she brought Hiei flowers and he burned them to a crisp after mumbling something about pointless displays of affection. "I think they're lovely, honestly. It's just that Hiei's not exactly the flower type."
Keiko glances at Hoshi as her face falls."But it wouldn't hurt to try. I bet he'll love them."
A huge smile spreads across Hoshi's face as she scoops up the heavily fragranced plants and begins to run toward the youkai. "HIEI!! HIEI!! " she screamed.
'Hn. Stupid baka.,' he thinks to himself. " What is it?"
Hoshi, panting, says happily,"I got these for you."
Hiei looks at her suspiciously. He carefully grabs the offending objects from her hand. She just smiles happily. He looks at them. "Why?"
Hoshi begins to blush. "Because they made me think of you."
Hoshi looks out toward the field and her friends. Botan waves for her to come back. She turns to Hiei, gives him a light kiss on the cheek, and skips back to join her friends. Botan looks surprisedly at Hiei. He begins to blush, and accidently burns the flowers in his hand. He doesn't notice.
Keiko notices Botan staring. "Did he like them, Botan?"
Botan looks down at Keiko, who is sitting next to her. "You could say that." She turns back to look at the fire youkai, still looking shocked, touching his face with his hand, then getting off the wall and walking towards them.
Botan afraid that Hiei is going to hurt Hoshi's feelings quickly comes up with an excuse for the other demon to go farther out in the meadow. "Uh... Hoshi! Why don't you go way way out there with Yukina and pick some of those pretty purple flowers? I'm sure that Kurama would love to have some flowers for the table. Keiko and I will stay here."
Hoshi ,oblivious to the fact that Hiei is slowly (shocker) walking toward them, agrees happily and grabs Yukina's hand "Sure, Botan! Let's go, Yuki!""
Hiei walks up just and Yukina and Hoshi prance off, laughing. He stares after the little fire demon and his sister.
Botan begins to laugh. "Bet that's never happened to you before, has it?"
Hiei quickly regains his composure. "Hn. Her emotions are foolish. Love is almost always unrequited and is a waste of one's time."
"Are you sure it's not because you really do feel something for her?" Botan smiles slyly.
"Of course not, fool! I have no emotions. You of all people should know that."
Keiko sighs. "You know, Hiei, love doesn't necessarily mean weakness."
"That's why you ningens aren't immortal or long-living. You let love get in the way." Hiei huffs.
Keiko is visibly offended. "I'd rather die at a young age knowing I am loved than live a thousands years never knowing love at all." She calmly gets up and walks toward the house.
"Really, Hiei. Can't you be at least a tiny bit nicer? She has a good point."
"Botan. You know that I am incapable of love. The girl just doesn't understand that."
Botan watches Yukina and Hoshi skip back towards them. She steals a quick glance at Hiei. She notices that blush returning to his face. "Perhaps she understands something you don't."
Hiei looks at her. "That's impossible. How can she know something about me that I don't? Honestly, Botan. That makes no sense."
Hoshi and Yukina reach the two. Hoshi hands all the flowers to Yukina. "Yuki? Why don't you go take these to Kurama? I know he'll love them!"
Yukina looks from Hoshi to Hiei, then to Botan. "Um. Okay, Hoshi. Are you sure you don't want to go with me?" Hoshi smiles brightly at the younger blue-haired girl and nods her head.
"I'm sure, Yuki. You picked most of them anyways." Yukina walks away. Hoshi suddenly assumes a more mature air. "Hiei? What happened to my flowers?"
Hiei's eyes widen and his blush deepens. "I… uh… well… I accidentally.. um… burned… them. I'm so sorry Hoshi. I just got a little… flustered." 'Why is it so hard for me to just talk to her?' he thought to himself.
"Hiei! Hoshi! Botan! Supper!" Kurama was waving from the doorway at the three. Hiei turns and walks away, leaving Hoshi and Botan alone.
"Botan? Did I do something wrong?" Hoshi's lower lip trembled a bit.
"Uh.. no, dear. He's just… Hiei." The ferry girl looked after Hiei, noticing faint traces of the blush as he turned to look back at them.
"Are you two coming?" he growled.
"Yes, Hiei."
So…? Tell me what you think. What can I add? What can I change? Are the characters too OOC? I accept flames too: Call it constructive criticism. I will update on August 26th cause that's my birthday present to all of you.
