He was so far away he was afraid he wouldn't get there in time, it was lucky he had demon vision and speed.

He reached the bottom of the cliff and held out his arms, waiting only a moment before she landed in them. She blinked once, twice, and burst out crying. She had slipped and almost died again, but someone had saved her, she stopped crying long enough to see that it was Hiei that had caught her, and started crying all over again.

As she had been falling, she had realized one thing: She was in love with Hiei. And it took a near-death experience for her to realize it.

Hiei was so shocked he had managed to get there in time to save her he didn't notice she had a death grip on his shirt while she was sobbing. "...Y-you...s-saved me...thank you H-hiei..." She choked out between sobs, when he tightened his grip, she stopped crying and looked up at him. "Hn." He set her down, and was about to walk away when she called out, "Wait! Don't go... please... I don't want to be alone..."

She dropped her gaze to the ground when he raised his eyebrow at her, "You have lots of friends. Go bug them." She sniffled and mumbled, "They're all on dates...they all have someone special...I've got nothing, I've got no one..." He smirked at her and wrapped his arms around her, taking her by surprise, "What about me? Don't I count?"

She looked into his deep red eyes and saw a little spark, which caused her to smile, "I dunno Hiei. We don't hang out a lot, are you sure we're friends?" She asked playfully and he pouted.

"No, I guess we're not friends."

Her eyes widened a fraction of an inch, "But we could be more than friends." She hit him playfully on the arm, "You scared me, I thought you were going to get all grumpy and walk away." He smirked at her again and brought his face closer to hers, "That's why I did it."

She frowned at him and pushed him away a little bit, "You've a lousy sense of humor Hiei." He turned away, and started walking away, "Hn. What ever." So much for that idea... Once she was sure he was no longer paying attention, she launched herself at him, and tackled him to the ground, "Gotcha."

He glared softly at her, "That wasn't funny onna." She winked at him, "It was just as funny as what you did." He crossed his arms and rolled his eyes, "No that was meaner because you tackled me. I didn't tackle you. You should have to make it up to me for that."

She giggled and tangled her hands in his hair, "And how would I do that shorty?" He growled at her and tried to sit up, but she moved so she was straddling him before he could get up, "You could start off by not calling me shorty, get off me, and then kiss me."

She leaned down closer until her face was only a couple centimeters from his, "How about one out of three?"

He shook his head, "Nope. Has to be all three. Or I'll just go back and sleep in my tree, alone." She pouted and sighed, "Fine. I suppose it's a fair trade..." She stood up, pulled him up and dusted off her blue jeans and black tank top.

Hiei tapped his foot impatiently until she looked back at him, "What?" He gave her a blank look and she sweat dropped, "Oh, right. Gimme a sec will ya? Geeze, so impatient. You'd think a demon could wait more than half a second..." Her mumbling was cut off when Hiei pinned her to the closest tree.

"No more waiting. Now kiss me." She sighed and gave him a peck on the cheek, and started laughing when he growled at her. "Well, you should be more specific about what kind of kiss you want."

"French."

She giggled and kissed each cheek (It's a greeting kiss, I believe it is French...but I am not sure), he growled again and mumbled, "Not that one." She smirked at him, "Oh you mean,"

She pressed her lips to his and pushed her tongue into his mouth, only pulling back when he started to respond to the kiss.

"That one?" He nodded, still growling a little. She gave him an I-already-know-but-I'm-still-gonna-ask-what's-wrong look and wrapped her arms around his neck, "Was it not good enough?" "Not even close. You need practice."

She gave him an insulted look, "Are you suggesting I just kiss every one until I'm good enough?" He rolled his eyes, "No. I was suggesting that I show you the proper way to kiss someone."

The wind chose this time to make its presence known to the two, as did the chilly weather.

Okay, I guess I confused a bunch of you about the story. 1) I said it was complete, (my bad) I did write the whole thing already, BUT IT IS NOT A ONE-SHOT! 2) I won't be changing perspectives, mostly because it's already done, and also partially because it would wind up being another five chapters if I did. 3) Thank you all my lovely reviewers! I am so pleased that people like my story . 4) I believe it will be about nine or so chapters long, it has even been divided into those chapters. This is for your convinience, as now you are guaranteed the WHOLE STORY, unlike those poor misfortunate readers of my Inuyasha stories! 5) I may update it more than once a week if you review enough!
