A small recap on what has happened in the last chapter:
----------
"Reiko?" was the name that came out of Kurama's mouth and shocked face.
'Now there is a voice from the past', she thought to herself. "Yoko Kurama!" Reiko shouted, also with a shocked expression on her face, but not as shocked as his.
Love at First Sight
Chapter 4
"Hey, I just cleaned that floor," cried Botan.
"Hey, I just cleaned that mug!" Yusuke echoed.
"It is easier to replace a mug than get down and clean this floor allover again! I spent all day cleaning! Next time I will clean the mugs and you scrub this thing" Botan continued to whine.
"Floors can be washed any time! If my mom finds out I am breaking her mugs. Well, I don't know what the heck will happen but I do know it's going to get really noisy in here." Yusuke said with a slight tremble rising in his voice.
"Why don't you two stop you're whining and clean up the mess, more action less talk. Sometimes Urameshi, you can be such a teenager." Jin spoke as he walked over from the doorway and sat down on one of Yusuke's brown, well worn sofas.
"I'm terribly sorry Botan, I didn't mean to stain the floor, if you give me something to wipe up the mess I will do it right away and Yusuke, I'll buy your mother two mugs, she will come out ahead." Kurama offered in way of apologizing for his carelessness, taking his eyes away from Reiko, for only a moment, so as to clean up his mess.
Touya by now had taken a seat next to Jin. Reiko, on the other hand was still standing, the surprise of finding Kurama being here, as well, froze her in her own footsteps.
"I see by the expression on your faces that your names were not unknown to each other I can conclude you two have met before." Yukina reasoned.
"Yes, we do know each other, don't we Yoko?" asked Reiko smiling slyly.
"How do you know each other?" Touya asked, not knowing Reiko knew Kurama.
"Maybe you can tell us the story of how the two of you are not complete strangers?" Touya asked finding some humour in all this.
"It's a story I don't think everyone in this room would like to hear or be repeated, including myself." Kurama said standing up from the floor and throwing way the remaining pieces of the broken mug.
"Oh, go ahead, it wouldn't bother me that is if you were referring to me as anyone." Jin casually responded to Kurama's objection.
"If it is difficult for you, Yoko, I would be all too happy to explain." Reiko volunteered still standing by the entrance to the room.
Kurama glared at her as if daggers were coming from his eyes.
Reiko seemed to take one step to the right, as if she could sense the knives flying toward her and then began her explanation, "In his past life when Yoko was a bandit, he had a partner in crime named Kuronue. Kuroune was a bat demon; a really sexy one at that, he was also my lover and Yoko's bestfriend.The first time Kuroune and I met was when he and Yoko were going to steal the ice queen's, Miyuki, crystal staff. It had magical powers that were quite superior to any other. I was the guard at that time and I was told to keep all invaders out but Kuroune and Yoko fooled me and I let them into palace. After they dashed out of the palace with the staff, at hand, right then and there, her majesty fired me from my post. I was forced to leave and never return again. That's when the guys felt bad, ever so slightly, and they let me travel with them. Over that time we became attached to one another, if anything happened to anyone of us we would be devastated.
The day Kuronue died, I was not allowed to go inside the Demon Palace with them.
Before they went in we said our goodbyes. I was unaware at the time that only one of the two would come back alive.When Yoko was the only one running towards me, I questioned him about what happened to the only demon that ever loved and understood me.When Yoko told me that Kuroune had died, I screamed, yelled, did everything that showed I was mad, upset, and heartbroken." Reiko said with her eyes filling up with tears.
"That's when you blamed his death on me." Kurama said, sitting on the sofa, with his head hung. "Even though I told you many times the truth, Reiko, you didn't believe me. That day, was the last time I saw you before now," Kurama continued.
"My mind was clouded with angry, so I couldn't think straight that's why I ran away. It took a couple hundred years for the truth to sink in. Now, I want to apologize for my mistake, from all those years ago. Will you accept it?" Reiko pleaded
There was silence for quite a while. No one knew if Kurama was actually thinking about it or just dragging it out to fill the air with suspense. Finally Kurama broke the silence with a yes. Reiko's eyes lit up. She was so happy that she jumped right into Kurama's arms, from her position on door frame, and hugged him tight. Reiko whispered a thank you in Kurama's ear which made his face turn a light pink, and he whispered back your welcome.
"I'm glad you two are friends now, but I'm hungry so can we please order the pizza's?" asked Yusuke after his stomach gave a very loud growl.
"There already ordered. They said it would take awhile since it is five pizzas."
Botan said with her head sticking out of the kitchen door.
"FIVE PIZZA'S…..FIVE!" Reiko exclaimed "who eats that much?!"
"……The baka, the detective, and the Irish youko." Hiei said very unmoved.
"Hiei! Don't be rude. Though they do eat a lot don't point it out." Yukina scolded her unknown sibling.
Hiei gave his predictable 'hn' got up and stood against the wall that was closest to the window and faced that way.
"Botan, does someone have to go pick up the pizzas?" Yukina asked.
"Yes" the reaper replied.
Yukina had a beautiful, big, smile on her face. "Hiei, since you were very rude…..how about you go." The ice maiden volunteered, with that gorgeous smile still on her face. Just at the sight of it Touya had been seen melting under it.
"What!" he said shocked, as he looked away from the window.
"He'd need Yusuke to accompany him though….the pizza is ordered under his name." Botan explained, happy that Yukina volunteered Hiei to go.
Hiei glared at both his sister and Botan. "I'm not going."
"Fine then all the wonderful sweet snow that's for dessert will be all for us." Botan mentioned.
The moment the word sweet snow went through Hiei's ears, he was at the front door in a flash. "Come on detective, I don't have all night." he said growing impatient.
From the kitchen you could hear two hands clapping each other, like a high five. Everyone else chuckled at the fact how important sweet snow was to Hiei. "Alright Hiei, hold your horses I'm coming just not at this very moment. Didn't you hear Botan; the pizzas will take a while." Yusuke told the impatient shorty.
"Hn. I know that, I have better hearing than you….." Hiei responded coolly
"Then why did you want to hush out of here?" Yusuke asked. Before Hiei could even open his mouth the door to Yusuke's apartment swung open almost crushing Hiei between it and the wall.
"Hey people, its Saturday night and time to PART-TY!" exclaimed a big lug-head that just happened to be named Kazuma Kuwabara. From behind Kuwabara poked the head of an averaged height brunette with big brown eyes and a very cheerful smile on. In her arms was a little blue creature named Puu.
"You baka! You almost flattened me against the wall!" Hiei started to yell at Kuwabaka.
"Wow, I didn't see you there shorty." Kuwabara said dumbfound. Hiei just rolled his eyes, opened the door walked out and closed it behind him. There was a pause before Kurama started to get up from his seat.
"I guess I'll go after him." Kurama offered. "That's not necessary Kurama, you can stay here. I'll go." Botan said taking off her apron and placing it around one of the chairs in the kitchen. "You know Hiei better than the rest of us, which surprises me that you're not just going to let him go?"
"She makes a good point, Yoko." Reiko agreed plopping her self into Jin's lap and taking his arms and wrapping them around her waist. Her legs started to hurt from standing so much. 'You're heavier than you look, Rei.' he whispered into her ear. Reiko's nails grew half and inch and she dug them right into Jin's skin. He could tell she was offended by his very realistic comment.
Touya watched the situation, hearing his comment, and snickered; trying to keep from laughing to hard. Yukina had looked up at Touya and wondered what was so funny. She was about to ask him when Kuwabara came up with not a half bad idea.
"Hey, this looks boring how about we play some sorta game? Maybe cards or monopoly?" was Kuwabara's good idea.
"That's not a half bad idea, must be your bright idea for the year. Is cards good?" Yusuke asked. They all nodded in the positive. They ended up playing Dai Hin Min/Rich man Poor man. They all played on teams of 2 except for one group of three. The groups were Yusuke and Keiko, Yukina and Touya (this made Kuwabara hurt by the way) Kurama, Botan and Kuwabara, Jin and Reiko were on another team. There was no real winner since they didn't get a chance to finish the game. When the Hiei had come back through the door he had left through 30 min. earlier. This time he had 5 boxes of pizza with him. Yusuke, Kuwabara, and Jin drooled over all that wonderful pizza. All three were prepared to dive for it but Hiei gave them a really really really really, icy glare that read loud in clear, 'Touch-it-and-die'. All three of them gulped and stopped drooling over the 5boxes of delicious, wonderful, hot, greasy, pizza. Hiei handed the 5 boxes of wonderful, delicious pizza to Botan. (A/n: making you hungry?)
"Thank you Yusuke. It's nice to see that your back." she said smiling.
Hiei glared at her then gave a 'Hn', opening the top box of pizza and grabbing a slice. Then he went to go sit back on the window ledge. Botan and served the hot, greasy pizza to everyone except Hiei Yusuke, Kuwabara and Jin. The three whimpered and whined watching their precious pizza being eaten by everyone except them.
Reiko couldn't take her boyfriends whining anymore, he was acting like such a baby. So she gave him her slice. His eyes went wide and his ears shot straight up into the smallest point. "Thank you, Rei." he said like when a little kid had just received some candy. "I love you darling." "I love you too." she responded and gave him a light kiss on the head. 'He's so cute when he's happy' "Hey Yoko, are you going to finish that slice of pizza?" she asked hungrily. Kurama rolled his eyes and handed over his slice.
"Hey Keiko can I have your slice, please." Yusuke pleaded. maybe all his whining would change Keiko's mind too. "Sorry Yusuke, I'm hungry too. Just wait your turn." Keiko said harshly. Yusuke fell off the couch and onto the wood floor. Hurting his head, once he landed. He was slowly dying from hunger pains. Kuwabara tried the same tactic. "Yukina, baby, would you mind if I took that greasy slice of food off your pretty hands."
This comment made Touya feel extremely uncomfortable, since (as you can kind of tell) he had a crush on her. This comment also made Hiei burst with anger. He just couldn't take it, the way the idiot would talk to his beloved sister.
"That's it I can't take it anymore!" Hiei exclaimed. All eyes where on Hiei now. "Take my slice if you want, just don't beg her for one."
"Huh, why would I want your slice shorty? Don't tell me you're giving me a peace offering?" Kuwabara said stupidly. Yusuke started to snicker as well as Kurama and Botan.
Hiei rolled his eyes. "No baka I'm not giving you a peace offering. I just don't think it would make a difference, because the same saliva would be going into that stupid big mouth of yours!" Hiei exclaimed really annoyed now. Not paying close attention to what he was saying.
Yusuke, Kurama and Botan exchanged excited glances thinking he might actually spurt out that Yukina and him where siblings. Kuwabara gave him a sideways glance confused.
Hiei couldn't believe this guy's stupidity. "You really don't get it! I'm that stupid brother she's been looking for!" he finally yelled. Everyone was wide eyed, especially Kurama, Yusuke, Botan, and Yukina. Hiei finally realized what he had mumbled. "Oh crap." Tears started to form in her identical (to hiei's) red eyes. She ran up and hugged Hiei tightly. "I'm so glad I've finally found you, my brother, Hiei." she trailed off. He returned the hug. Only a little upset that he finally said told her.
Botan was ready to cry too while Kuwabara wanted to throw up. Yusuke gave Hiei and thumbs up and Kurama gave him a gentle smile. Hiei smirked. Hn. I did it. It wasn't that hard. Should have done it earlier. Hiei telepathically to Kurama.
Yes. But your enjoying Kuwabara's expression right? Kurama responded
Hn. well of course. Hiei said smirking mentally.
The night slowly came to a close. After Hiei finally confessed to his 'sibling'. They all ate pizza; Yusuke eventually got a slice, and ended up watching a movie afterward. Hiei finally got that 'sweet snow' as a reward. The only unfortunate part was that he was forced to share it with everyone else. His cold glares had no effect on these people that happened to be his friends.
As some people looked forward to the next few minutes to the movie, they were watching. Others were looking forward to tomorrow's adventures, at the picnic arranged with Nicole.
Crazyfaucet: Please make due with the terrible ending. I was thinking really fast and didn't know what to say. I know this chapter might not be the best… and it might actually confuse the lot of you. So I apologize ahead of time.
I really hope you like it other wise. And thank you to my brand new reviewer. I really appreciate it.
See you all again.
