AN: I really don't have a explanation for this chapter.
Kuwabara was a man on a mission. The first step was observation. He had made it his mission to improve Hiei's eating habits, which as far as he could tell were nearly nonexistent. The fire demon ate like an anorexic bird. No wonder he was so small. However, Kuwabara was determined.
After some observation he discovered that Hiei had a serious sweet tooth. The most he had ever see the little guy eat was when Hiei single handedly inhaled a tub of Ben and Jerry's Chunky Monkey.
The fire demon was also picky, he wouldn't eat anything that he thought humans had a handled or prepared. Unless it was coffee, Hiei was clearly addicted.
Kuwabara supplemented his mission by secretly checking out every book on nutrition the library had. Never before had he studied so fervently.
Finally he was ready to make his move. It would be subtle, brilliant. It would get Hiei to actually eat something that wasn't loaded with sugar or caffeine!!! His weapon, a bag of fresh oranges, clutched nervously in his hand.
He burst through the door of Kurama's house and shouted, "Hey everybody I got a bag of oranges!" He plopped onto one of the chairs at the kitchen table, Beamed at the room in general and looked to where Hiei was sitting in the window. "Hey Hiei, want an orange, they are really good."
"No." Hiei didn't even bother to open his eyes
"No?" Kuwabara repeated incredulously, his plan shattered. "How can you not want an orange? The are sweet, juicy, crammed full of vitamin C… They are the only food that is also A COLOR!!!" The entire room stared at him as though he had lobsters crawling out of his ears. "Try one!" he shouted as he tossed a piece of fruit to Hiei. He collapsed back down into his chair crossed his arms and prepared to pout. Yuusuke and Kurama exchanged a look, then edged carefully toward Kuwabara, as if worried he would explode.
"Of course we would like an orange Kuwabara, It was so thoughtful of you to bring them."
Kuwabara ignored them till he felt something hit him in the head. He felt it and found an orange peel in his hair. He looked up hopeful, was it… could it be…YES!!! Hiei was eating the orange!!!
He once again started chattering animatedly about how great oranges were. His elation knew no bounds. Next week he would get the little demon to eat some vegetables!
