Catse: Hiyya people! Here's chapter numbah nine, just as requested! I'm sorry if it seems a little short, but I had another chapter that was going to be longer once finished, and I couldn't put them together...so oh well. Yet again another idea from someone, this time my best friend from school telling me this would be funny. I hope you like the story so far, so enjoy this chapter.

He wasn't even aware of how long he had slept until he heard the cruel laughter of some familiar voices below his tree.
Upon opening his eyes and sitting up, he found no one else except Yusuke, Kurama, Kuwabara, Botan, and Koenma at the foot of the tree, looking up with tears in their eyes and laughter.
What the hell—?
"Hey Hiei! Comfortable?" Yusuke laughed, rolling around on the ground as he pointed his finger up at him.
Kuwabara continued to do the same as well, too many joyous sounds coming from his mouth to even make a remark.
Kurama merely smiled or chuckled now and then, Botan giggled like the normal girl would, and Koenma continued to roll on the ground, only to stop when his pacifier fell out of his mouth into the grass.
Hiei blinked a couple of times to get the glaze from his eyes from a heavy sleep, one he hadn't had in years, and looked around him.
Nothing looked all that funny...
The tree looked normal...
There was nothing on him except for a few lost leaves from the tree itself...
What was so goddamn funny?
He glared at them all and stood up on the branch, crossing his arms once there.
They continued to laugh even harder.
It was only then when he realized that there was nothing wrong with his body or the tree, or even his clothes which were rather dirty by now.
It was something in his hair.
"Hey Hiei! I think he found himself a home with you!" Yusuke continued to joke, sitting up with a mischievous grin and a few snorts.
Hiei turned his glare upward.
He felt it crawling about his hair, pecking at it where seeds and twigs had landed, and couldn't help but twitch one eye.
He even felt a drop of sweat leak down the side of his face.
It was a tiny little bird, probably about half the size of his fist, with a white crown and breast and a black body of feathers he continued to ruffle.
His eyes were a strong brown, almost reddish, and he cocked his head this way and that at the noise the people below were making.
"He looks a lot like you!" Koenma laughed, rolling some more, before he noticed his pacifier was missing and, agitated, went to pick it up and clean it.
"Hey Hiei! I think he likes you!" Kuwabara giggled, sitting up on his hands to get a better view.
Hiei continued to glare at the little creature nestling in his hair.
This was why he despised humans and everything that lived with them.
They were always weak and annoying, despicable little disgusts of life.
He wanted to reach up and kill it, but something about how it pecked around his hair, not knowing his anger at it at all, stopped him from doing so.
I'm becoming soft...He thought to himself, standing up in a sense of rage and embarrassment.
He knew he was blushing, but tried his best not to look it.
"Hey guys, what's going on over here? You were so loud you could have woken up the dead!"
It was Suta, stepping out of the kitchen with an apple in her hand.
She wore a pair of blue jeans, her sling purse, and a black t-shirt that almost made Hiei want to smile.
Almost....
Don't let your mind wander...it's too small to be out on its own. (Saw this on my cousins shirt and thought it was cute.)
Humans certainly were creative...
The only reason he would remain around them so long...
"That's a sick joke Suta." Botan replied, rubbing her nose.
"So's laughing at a bird." She replied, taking a bite out of her apple.
"What's that supposed to mean?"
"Nothin' much." She replied with an accent, winking mischievously.
Botan stood confused.
Suta merely smiled, happy at the turning of words, and stared at Hiei.
"He's kinda cute you know."
"Which one?" Yusuke laughed, smacking her on the shoulder.
"Which one do you think?" There was silence.
Hiei stared at the bird a moment more, and then flicked it off and disappeared.
What they didn't know (except for Kurama that is) was that he had slid into Suta's room to sulk.
Suta caught the surprised bird and petted it on the head before it could fly off.
It's nest was in the tree, near where Hiei's head had been, so it was only natural that it would wonder what his hair was doing up there.
Suta smiled, and took another bite of the apple.
She figured that Hiei's best bet at hiding would be in her room, considering that anywhere else would be in the open.
Her room was locked and only she entered it on occasion.
No one else bothered to take a look inside.
She had a few errands to run, but she figured the koorime would follow her, just so as to not be bored any longer.
This was also her Thursday to train the students at the dojo, so she wanted to be ready for them that evening.
"Where you headed off to?" Botan asked, noticing the purse Suta wore.
"Out." She replied, shrugging off the question.
"Are you sure you should be leaving. There are still demons after your life you know." Koenma added, now dead serious.
"Yeah...evil ugly things...with big horns and huge claws!" Kuwabara added, putting his fingers up on his head for the horns.
"Yeah, you heard Kuwabara! You'll have big horny dudes following you around town. Sure you want to go?" Yusuke added, snickering when Kuwabara glared in his direction.
"Any horny dudes are going to have to watch out for me. I'll see you all this evening. Ja Ne."
Suta replied, walking away with a giggle and another bite of the apple.
"That went swell." Koenma growled, crossing his arms.
"Yeah well..." Botan added, looking timid.
Kurama paid them little mind.
Instead, he stared at the window to Suta's room, and smiled when a small black mass flicked out of it and off after their human guest.
Hiei's gotten close...He'll watch out for her.
Kurama tucked his hands into his pockets and walked away, wondering what the day between human and demon would bring.

Catse: What do you think? Was anything a little confusing? Sorry if it was. I had gotten the idea for this little scene when my friend told me about how Hiei most likely didn't sleep very much, and what would happen if he acutally did. Then we got to wondering and came up with the idea. Our first idea was for a squirrel to climb on his head and then around in his clothing, but, although it would be funny, we didn't think it would be right to make that sort of clumsy move towards Hiei. After all, a squirrel in the pants might lead him to falling down or cutting them open to get them out, and we didn't want him to look bad. Plus, we wanted to creature to look like Hiei, so a squirrel with black fur and a white breast and crown would look like a skunk and would end up scaring people away. Oh well right? Anyways, next chapter will be more of Hiei in town, and I can only say one thing. Hiei has never had a picture taken of him before and he freaks out when Suta convinces him to one. You'll see...'Til next chapter...Ja Ne!
