"Ahh...Ah-tzu!"
"Hmm? What's wrong, Hiei?"
He sniffed shaking his head. "Do we have to be here of all aisles?"
"What's the matter? You don't like perfume?"
"One I suppose is fine, but eight hundred makes my eyes water," he said rubbing his nose.
Amethyst eyes softened and she walked up to him with an amused smile. "Oh, that's right. You apparitions have sensitive noses." She poked the tip of his nose and giggled when he growled.
"I'm sorry, Hiei. I just want to smell nice."
"Why?" He said muffled by his sleeve. "Your natural scent does."
She blinked and her cheeks turned pink. "R-really? What do I smell like?"
He pulled his sleeve down and thought about it. "Vanilla."
Her blush deepened. "Oh. Well, maybe I want to smell different from vanilla."
He raised an eyebrow. "Like what?"
"How about this one?" She held out a bottle and unscrewed the top. She held it to his nose and he wearily sniffed. He blinked a few times and backed away from it.
"What is it?"
"White tea and ginger. What do you think?"
He looked at her eyes begging for acceptance. "It'll do."
"Do you like it?" She urged.
"It's good enough."
Her eyes shined bright and a wide smile came to her lips. "Great! Then I'll buy this one!"
She ran back through the aisle happily to the cash registers.
He waited for her to be away from him before he brought his hands up to his face covering - "Ah-tzu! Ohh..." He groaned. "Note to self. Destroy any perfume she buys."
