That sneaky jerk! Fumed a petite raven haired woman.

Making sure to slam the door behind her, she stomped her way into the house and sat gracefully on the couch. Crossing her arms, she continued to rant in incoherent sentences.

And there I was trying to be nice!... But of course he... I bet he's smirking with that stupid... He didn't have to kiss me!

But as she thought about it, her hand came up to brush lightly against her lips. Trying to fight the blush and exceeding horribly, she let her head fall into her hands and gave a small moan.

Of course, this wasn't the first time this type of thing had happened. They had made up some sort of game between themselves, trying to push each other to their limits. A game with no rules and only them as the players. Ever since he became her most frequent glorified babysitter, she had tried to include him in her life.

It started off as simply trying to get him to talk to her. When he proved to be stubborn - she tried a different approach. It was innocent at first, with her completely shielding her aura and hiding away within the Higurashi lands. Hiei, being her protector, of course, had to go looking for her. She made it into a game of hiding and seeking, teasing him with little slips of her presence when he was close. She would try not to giggle when she felt a brush of his presence as she ran through the wooded area around her home.

The games would never last too long, as he would grow impatient and demand she show herself. She, however, didn't just simply come out. Oh, no. That would be way too simple.

The first time she tried her master plan, it almost failed miserably. Thinking to catch him by surprise, she prepared a trap. A simple and harmless one, of course, she was just going to get him a little wet…

Though he had caught on pretty quick and managed to avoid her water balloons - that is, till she thought of a new idea.

She 'surrendered,' going up to him with an innocent smile. She remembered the uneasy look on his face as she approached. Lowering her eyes, she waited till she was a breath away from him, slowly lifting her left arm up to brush a few leaves of his shoulder. Feeling him relax, she looked up through her lashes.

"Hiei," she muttered softly, leaning forward and slowly tipping her head back to look at him, their lips so close Hiei could already taste the miko.

"Hm?" was his only response as his eyes lowered to her lips.

Licking her lips and drawing his attention further away from her other hand, she leaned so her lips brushed the shell of his ear. Aware of the shiver that ran through him, she leaned so that they were now chest to chest.

He's so warm, she thought as she whispered in his ear -

"Gotcha," quickly dropping the water balloon that was hidden in her right hand on top of his head, she jumped back and looked at the now very angry - and wet - demon. But even with his glare, Kagome was still trying hard not to laugh as his hair fell down all around his head. When he started to advance with his hand on his sword, Kagome backed up more.

"Now Hiei, it's only some water…" Kagome reasoned, hands up in a pacifying manner, yet the wicked smirk continued to stay in place.

"I would run if I were you, miko," came his only response as he took more steps closer.

"You know? I think you're right," quickly turning around she bolted home.

After that, he would get her somehow, and she would reciprocate. Back and forth they went, each scheme more… intimate than the last. Of course, Kagome had started to like the hybrid demon, she found him to be a great listener, a loyal friend. Through their games, she felt like she brought out a lighter side to him. He had helped her through living in the present and she made his life exciting again.

Though that was the first time we have kissed, she thought again as she once again traced her lips.

Well, it seems as though it's my turn, she thought as a smirk came across her face.

And Hiei, for reasons unknown, felt a chill go up his spine.


I never thought I would continue this, but here it is! This will be a series of one shots that I may or may not continue, so I will keep the status complete. I hope you all enjoy! - DividingTime
