AN: Friday update! Today we shall meet someone new!
Disclaimer: Alright, I have a song thing going so I'll always have this stupid disclaimer disclaiming those songs! If you want the part concerning YYH, look in the first chapter. I do not own the Pirates of the Caribbean Soundtrack (well, I own a copy, but I don't own the copyright). I do not own The Rain King by Counting Crows. I do not own DDR or any of the songs I'm quoting off that.
Infamous
Chapter 3: The Rain King (Hiei)
They always talked about taking confused children home in training, but I never thought that my first experience with doing that would be taking my friends home. I chuckled as I remembered the reactions when I took those idiots home.
-:-:- Flashback to Kuwabara's House -:-:-
I pulled the car over and leaned over the seat. 'We have arrived at Chez Kuwabara!' I announced. Kuwabara grunted and tried to open the door…again.
'Help?' He asked. I sighed and got out of the car. I opened the door and shut it before Yusuke could get out. I helped Kuwabara up to the door.
Ding-dong! Hn. Standard chime.
Shizuru opened the door and just about had a fit.
'Holy shit! Kazuma! What the hell did you do!? Out drinking with Urameshi!? You're lucky it was me! And not Mom and Dad!!' She grabbed him and was about to pound him into oblivion when I politely coughed. She turned her rage at me only to quell it.
'Kuwabara here got himself into a state of serious mangled-ness from sparing with a varsity wrestler. Since he was incapable of walking home safely on his own, I took him home. The wrestler in question is a friend of mine.' I bowed respectfully. Shizuru nodded.
'Don't you scare me like that again!' I left before things got messy. The last thing I needed was to have to arrest Shizuru for child abuse.
Once I was backing the car I drove Yusuke home. I took him up to his apartment and before I rang the doorbell Ausuko answered.
'I'm sorry about him. You poor guys have to take him home every other day….' Ausuko grabbed her son and dragged him into the room. 'Here's your tip.' She handed me a beer and shut the door. Behind the door I heard her ask Yusuke what he did this time. I headed back to the car.
'Hiei, what's with the can?' Kurama asked pointing at my 'tip'.
'It was a tip from Ausuko. Apparently Yusuke gets taken home by cops more often than most. So Ausuko gives them a can of beer for their trouble.' I shock my head and set the beer in the cup holder. I didn't drink and nether did Aoshi. Xei's boyfriend did though….
It wasn't long before we arrived at Kurama's. 'Here we are.' I let him out of the car. Kurama had been in the best condition of the three, merely because he actually tried to not get hurt. We walked up to the porch and I rang the doorbell. Shiori answered and immediately went into panic mode.
'Officer?' She was startled.
'Ma'am, your son had been helping a varsity wrestler practice and afterwards was found himself in no condition to walk home safely. So he asked me to drive him home. Your boy has done a great act of community service and shown good judgment.' I bowed and let Kurama into his house. He gave me an appreciated nod.
'Was it an inconvenience?' Shiori asked.
'No! Not at all.' I said quickly. I bowed and walked back to the car.
-:-:- End of Flashback -:-:-
I stared at the can of beer. I can't believe that Ausuko actually tipped cops with beer, she'd get herself arrested for that if she wasn't careful. I pulled the car into the garage and walked up. Once I got on my floor I was greeted with Xei's music.
"When I think of Heaven, (deliver me in a black-winged bird), I think of flying down into a sea of pens and feathers and all other instruments of faith and sex and God; in the belly of a black-winged bird." The music boomed. I sighed and bashed my fist against the door in an attempt to be heard.
"Turn down your Goddamn music!!"
---- Switch to Mal's point of view inside room 666 ----
"Turn down your Goddamn music!!" Hiei bellowed as he pounded his fist against the door. I turned the music down and Xei gave me a disappointed look.
"He's gonna be deaf at this rate! Let the poor man sleep." I scolded her. She rolled her eyes. Hiei opened the door.
"Here." He put a can of beer in my hand. I stared at it. "You're the only person I know who drinks that isn't underage."
"This is crappy beer." I remarked. Yet I opened it up and took a sip. "Where'd you get it?"
"It was a tip for taking Urameshi home." He shrugged and left the room. I turned back to Xei who had turned her music off completely.
"And I could believe that I'm bound to find, a better life than I left behind." She sung softy. Xei was sitting there, smiling. "And I certainly did!" I bent over and kissed her.
"Dammit!" I muttered.
"Oh?" She raised an eyebrow.
"I love you!"
"Good!" She exclaimed.
--- Switch to the next day, at the arcade (Kuwabara) ---
Yusuke had invited Hiei and his girl down to the arcade. The two had walked in holding each other's hands. They were smiling evilly. I didn't get it until Xei came in, glomped onto the shoulder of Mal Downclave, football all-star. He was large and sturdy. with short red hair, and hazel eyes. He had a big smile on his face and it was rather oblivious that she was his girlfriend.
"Hiya!" Xei called, bouncing. "Hey do you know where the DDR machine is?" She asked me. I numbly pointed. Xei pranced over and began to dance.
"Baby you're all that I want, when you're lying here in my arms. I'm finding it hard to believe, we're in heaven." The machine chanted as Xei danced. She was quiet good at the game and was probably going to set a high score. Mal was standing next to the machine watching her, with little hearts in his eyes.
"Hn. Just like her." Hiei remarked. He was about to walk off when his girlfriend pointed at another machine.
"Oh! I wanna play that one!" She drug him over to play some tennis game with her. I looked over at Yusuke, who had just got in.
"She's got Downclave wrapped around her finger!? No wonder she's not Hiei's girl!" Yusuke remarked when he looked at Xei.
"I'm not wrapped around her finger!" Mal stormed over, obliviously he heard us.
"Umm…." Yusuke said, he knew he was going to be pounded.
"Hey Mal! Get over here and DDR with me!" Xei yelled. Mal ran over.
"But I suck!" He whined.
"You're a hell of a lot better than Jaganshi, now get over and play!" Yusuke and I looked at each other when she said that.
"Hiei plays DDR?"
Hiei sighed. "Yes." Isn't that the weirdest thing? Kurama came in.
"Did I miss something?" He wondered.
"You missed everything!" Xei exclaimed as she danced to Twilight Zone. Another AAA, got that woman is good! Kurama stared at her.
"Okay…." Kurama sweat-dropped.
"Arggh!" Hiei yelled for no apparent reason. Then I looked at the game. She had beat the living sought out of him.
"Want to have a rematch?" Hiei's girl asked evilly. I should really figure out her name….
"No, Aoshi, no." Hiei answered her.
"You're no fun!" She pocked him.
"Do I look like someone who is fun?" He remarked.
"You do, you short DDR-dunce!" Mal taunted. Hiei stormed over.
"You wanna bet!?" Hiei yelled at him.
"You children can play after I'm done with Burning Heat." Xei went about dancing and Mal tried furiously to keep up. 'Tried' key word in that sentence.
After Xei danced her name down for getting the 1st place high score, Mal and Hiei began their competition.
"Knock him dead and I'll buy lunch." Xei promised Mal.
"You beat him and I won't tell our little 'secrete'." Hiei went wide-eyed when she said that.
And so the competition began. Whatever 'secrete' Hiei he didn't want it known because he got solid AA's. He found himself dancing in his name for 3rd place.
"Good job Hiei!" Xei knocked him over, slapping his back. She tuned to Mal. "Lunch!" She cried and Mal began to lead her away.
"What secrete?" Yusuke asked Hiei.
"Hn."
"Come on, Hiei! We're your friends, certainly you aren't going to be hiding things from us." Kurama pointed out.
"Hn!"
"Come on shrimp! Show that you can take it like a man!" I taunted him.
--- Switch to Yusuke's P.O.V. ---
Kuwabara had just made a big mistake. Hiei hit him in the back of the head, sending him to the ground.
"Hn!!"
"The world will never know. Just like the Tootsie Pops lick thingy!" Aoshi remarked.
"It takes 150." Xei pointed out. "I got bored and counted one time." She had called this over her shoulder as she and Mal left.
"How does she listen to music that loud and hear whispers across a noisy room!?" Hiei wondered.
"This is Xei, the normal laws of physics don't apply." Aoshi pointed out.
AN: There you are! I'm open for suggestions for dating and stuff! R&R!!
