Wolfie: Sorry this chapter is soo short guys. The way that I had origionally planned this it was a longer chapter, but that didn't work out.
Hiei: Hn. Of course it didn't, what can you expect from a baka?
Wolfie: Yeah, you're right... Hey! Who you calling a baka, baka?
Hiei: You. You haven't done anything right since this story started.
Wolfie: (Pouting) That's not true. I have this story planned ahead for at least another 12-15 chapter, depending on how it goes.
Hiei: Let's just see how that works, shall we?
Wolfie: Fine! I do not own and will never own any part of YuYuHakusho. Enjoy the story while I try to find a new way to hurt Hiei.
Chapter 4: Settling In
As the girls were following Botan to their rooms the boys were still in the kitchen. Yusuke and Kuwabara were still arguing about the poker game while Kurama watched. After a moment they began to get into a fist fight. "Yusuke, Kuwabara, if you insist on fighting please be sure to take it outside. I doubt that Koenma would appreciate his mansion being destroyed over a poker game." Kurama pleaded. The two idiots looked at him and stopped fighting.
"I bet I can beat you at Mortal Kombat, Urameshi!" Kuwabara challenged. "Your on!" Yusuke agreed and the two boys ran over to the TV. and turned it on. Kurama smiled as he got up to referee their 'harmless' competition. "Bakas." Hiei mumbled as he went into the kitchen to put his plate in the sink.
Smelling blood, Kurama followed the koorime and watched him. Hiei set his plate in the sink and turned to the fridge. "What happened to your arm?" Kurama inquired. "Leave it alone fox." The fire demon warned. They both could hear the boys yelling from the living room. "Kuwabara! We're playing a game! Can't you leave Yukina alone for five minutes?!" Yusuke yelled causing Hiei to growl.
"Maybe we should go somewhere else to talk." Kurama mused. Hiei scowled but nodded his head and followed the fox outside. Hiei took his place on the railing around the porch while Kurama sat on the bench.
"You wanted to talk fox, so talk." Hiei demanded looking over towards the forest. "What happened when you went to get Raven?" Hiei just looked at him. "I don't know what the hell you mean fox. Nothing happened. If that is all you wanted then there is no need to talk." He said getting up. "Hiei, when you went to find Raven you were perfectly fine. When you returned, she had fresh injuries, as did you. Something happened. If the girls are in danger we need to know so we can help you protect them." Kurama argued. Hiei glared at him and leaned against the rail. "fine, I'll tell you." He said.
"I found the onna and when we were on our way back, a bunch of demons attacked us. She was too weak to fight so I got hurt while trying to protect her." Hiei confided. "Her injuries have been taken care of by Yukina and I took care of mine. If there is nothing else…" He warned and went in the house. Kurama shook his head slightly and followed. Once inside he noticed Yusuke watching TV. while Kuwabara was wooing Yukina. Kurama went directly into the kitchen to take care of the dishes.
(With the girls)
What kind of deal did you make with Koenma? Raven asked as Botan talked on and on. I just saved our asses, but he will explain that to you tomorrow. Hawk told her briefly. What aren't you telling me? she demanded. Tomorrow. For now get some rest. You need it. Hawk replied as they stopped in front of two doors.
"Okay, Raven's door is on the right and Hawk's is on the left. Kuwabara's is on the right of Raven's. Yusuke is across from him. On the other side is Kurama next to Hawk and Yukina is across from him, on the left of Raven. Hiei's room is the door at the end of the hall. Well good night." Botan chirped and left. "Good night Raven." Hawk said. "Hn." She replied and went into her room. Hawk shook her head sadly and did the same.
(Raven's Room)
She walked into her room and gasped. The walls were black with the slightest hint of blue in it. The carpet was a deep purple. The ceiling was like the midnight sky, it showed the darkest blue, purple, and black. Stars and constellations covered the whole thing, except for a full moon right in the center of the painting. The curtains over the window to the left of the door were a metallic silver. The bed was directly across from it. The frame was made of a dark mahogany wood, along with the desk, dresser, and shelves. The sheets were black, the blanket was purple and the comforter was blue. The three pillows were the same colors.
Letting out a small smile, Raven laid down and quickly went to sleep.
(Hawk's room)
She entered her room and placed her hand over her mouth to keep her self from squealing in delight.
The walls were a silver blue, with a gold carpet and curtains. The ceiling was like a painting of the morning sky, with the sun peaking over the corner of the room. The furniture was all made out of knotty pine and matched the room perfectly. The sheets were sky blue, the blanket was white and the comforter was a light yellow. Like Raven's room, each of the three pillows were a matching color.
Hawk blinked her happy tears away and went to the desk to find a brand new diary. She instantly opened it, grabbed a pen and began writing. She spent a good twenty minutes writing everything that had happened in the last twenty-four hours before going to bed.
(with Hiei)
Hiei entered his room and he instantly noticed someone's scent. It smelled like a fire in the middle of the night. 'Is this Raven's scent? Her father had a similar one, he always smelled like the night. Why is her scent still in here? She left the window open when she ran off earlier.' He wondered as he sat on the windowsill. Looking out the window he watched as the moon passed in and out of sight. He mentally sighed as the rain continued to fall.
Right before Hiei was about to fall asleep there was a knock on his door. Examining the energy he growled. "What do you want fox? Go away." The door opened despite his warnings, Kurama walked in carrying a small carton of sweet snow. "will you please allow me to examine your wounds? I know how you take care of yourself, so I want to examine them myself." He said trying to coax the fire demon into listening.
"Hn. Why should I? You doubt my ability to take care of myself?" Hiei snapped. Kurama mentally flinched and decided to be careful with his wording. "No I do not doubt your abilities, I just want to be sure that you aren't slacking on them." Kurama retorted in worry. Hiei simply turned his head away to continue looking out the window.
"What if I throw in a larger container of sweet snow?" he asked trying to sway the fire koorime's decision. Hiei thought about it for a moment. "Fine. You win." He caved and pulled his shirt off. Again, Kurama mentally flinched, but this time at the injuries. Gently he pulled away the bandages.
His mouth gaped as he saw the condition of the wounds. "Hiei Jaganshi, these two wounds desperately need stitching. I could do it right now or we could have a nurse do it for you in the hospital wing. It's your choice." The fox demon said seriously. Hiei frowned. "Let's just get this over with now."
Kurama nodded and walked into Hiei's bathroom to find the first aid kit, that Koenma had ordered for every room. He grabbed a couple of towels and got one of them wet on his way out. Satisfied that he had everything he needed he exited the bathroom and entered the bedroom.
The red haired boy immediately began to clean Hiei's arm with rubbing alcohol. He could feel Hiei tense under the burning sensation and looked up at him. The demon had his face turned to the window and was ignoring Kurama the best he could. Once he was content that both his arm and side were cleaned he secretly pulled out a seed and made it grow into a cactus like plant.
"Fox, what do you think you're doing?" Hiei demanded. Kurama looked up to see Hiei's crimson gaze on him. "I was simply going to give you a pain killer. I do not want to cause you anymore discomfort than I must." He debated. Hiei thought about that for a moment.
"This is not pain. My jagan eye was pain. This is merely a scratch." Hiei whispered distantly, half expecting Kurama to pity him. Not wanting to see that he continued to watch the rainfall. "Very well, we'll do this your way then. Please lay down on the bed Hiei, it will make my job faster and a little easier." Kurama requested. "Hn." Was the reply as the demon did as he was asked (For once).
Once Hiei had laid down the red haired boy went to work. The whole time Hiei did not let out a single sound, much to Kurama's relief. Finally finished he rewrapped the wounds in fresh bandages and left, leaving the carton of semi melted ice cream on the dresser. Stiffly Hiei walked over and opened the container. Satisfied he sat down in his window seat and began eating. A few minutes later he was asleep with a empty carton on the table next to him.
(Next morning)
Raven and Hawk woke up and met each other in the hall. "What's that smell?" Hawk asked sniffing the air. Raven shrugged her shoulders, "It smells like food. I guess they decided to make breakfast for us." She said and they both made their way down to the kitchen.
What they saw stopped them in their tracks, only Hiei and Kurama were up and the latter of the two was making pancakes, eggs, sausage, bacon, and toast. "I hope your hungry, you better hurry and start eating before Yusuke and Kuwabara wake up, otherwise they'll eat it all." Kurama said. The two sisters nodded and began eating. They were halfway done with their breakfast when the idiot and the detective came down.
"Smells good Kurama." Yusuke said before stuffing his face. Hawk laughed and Raven gave off a disgusted look as she pushed her plate away. "I think I'm done, that sight could make anyone sick." She said referring to the two boys. Hiei snorted his agreement. "Well if you two are done, Koenma wanted to talk with you after you ate." The red-haired boy said. "Koenma? Why" Raven demanded standing up. "Hn. Baka onna." Hiei sneered before walking off. "What was that?!" She yelled. "Come I'll show you the way." Kurama offered and the three of them left.
Hiei: That chapter sucked.
Wolfie: (Bows her head) I know, but it would greatly help if I had reviews. (Hint. Hint)
Hiei: Where's everyone else at? Shouldn't they be back by now?
Wolfie: (Anime vein in forehead) Hiei! they were sent on a mission and you totally ignored me.
Hiei: Fine, if it will get you to leave me alone. Read and Reveiw or face my wrath.
Wolfie: Thank you, Hiei. Now that that's taken care of. I will not, I repeat, Will Not be putting up another chapter unless I get at least one more review in.
Yusuke: Wolfie we're back. (enters)
Hiei: Great.
Wolfie: Ja Ne.
