(Hiei's POV)

I'd say it was about 2:00 in the morning and I was still lying in bed trying to get some sleep. It felt as though I drank at least 3 glasses of coke. I was so damn wired!

It was really boring on top of all that. Kurama fell asleep ages ago and he left me here to die. He always tells me he'll stay awake until I go to sleep, but it never ceases to amaze me on what a little liar he is. He falls asleep as soon as he hits the bed. I must know his secret.

2:30. 2:45. 3:00! Ah! I've come to the conclusion that I wasn't sleeping tonight. I felt sort of bad (like nothing I would kill myself over, but you know kinda mean, but still nice because it's something I would normally do)for what I was going to do next, but you know, maybe good conversation would put me to sleep.

I grabbed Kurama's cell phone, since I couldn't afford one, and put his number on private.

"This is gonna be so sweet," I whispered to myself chuckling excitedly.

I grabbed my nose and cleared my throat.

On the other line, a groggy Karasu fumbled for his phone and mumbled a few words incoherently before finally putting the phone to his ear.

"Hello?"

"Yes, is this Gary's Pizzeria? I would like to place an order for a dozen anchovy and cheese pizza," I said, nose stuffed and practically giggling into the phone. I, however, did an, how you say, awesome job masking my voice and keeping my cool. Because, I am cool.

"Listen punk, Gary's pizzeria is probably closed right now at 3 fucking o' clock. Now, if you don't want me to call the police on you, you'd better stop calling and shove your foot up your ass!" Karasu retorted. He still had that raspy sleeper's voice.

"But sir, I'm positive this is Gary's pizzeria, my…blood…sugars? low and I need pizza! I could die at any moment. I'm sorry that you're feeling lazy, but wouldn't you have some sort of a guilty conscience if you didn't deliver my pizza and I entered a comatose?"

I couldn't contain myself anymore.

"Listen, your obesity is your fault. How about you jog about 100 miles to get rid some of that shit from your brain! This is not Gary's pizzeria, this is Karasu and Karasu needs to get his beauty sleep because he has school tomorrow!"

You're going to need more than sleep to be beautiful…

"Karasu? No f-ing way! This is…

Oh, damn! What's that fat guy's name? Bobo? Bu? Bui. Yes! Bui there we go.

"Ahem, this is Bui!"

"Bui, go fuck yourself."

And with that Karasu hung up the phone.

I cringed with silent laughter as to not wake up Kurama. I rolled over on my back and called him again.

"Fuck you Bui!"

"Excuse me?" I asked putting on my best impression of a girl.

"Ok, I'm getting really sick of these prank calls. I'm not even sleepy anymore goddammit! Thanks a lot."

I hung up and waited about one minute before calling back.

"The telephone number you are trying to call is temporarily not in service. For more information press—

"Damn bitch turned off his phone. He's no fun."

I placed Kurama's phone back on the table and tip-toed back to my bed.

Not only was Kurama asleep, but he was snoring up an orchestra over there. I didn't know somebody could snore so loud! Geez!

"Kurama, shut up. I'm attempting to sleep." I hissed at him.

He groaned in annoyance and turned away from me.

I…think it was finally that time! The moment I was waiting for all night! I was finally sleepy! At 4:30 in the morning, I was finally sleepy. My eyes grew heavy and I gladly welcomed sleep.

Unfortunately, 30 minutes later, Mr. "I-wake-up-at-5-o'clock-because- I'm-such-a-nerd-and-must-be-extra-extra-early-to-school's" alarm clock rang waking both of us up with a start.

I groaned and placed the pillow over my head.

"Kurama turn that incessant ringing off! I'm trying to sleep!"

I heard him stretch and smack his lips. He shifted in bed and I'm guessing he was sitting up now. The alarm finally shut off to my relief.

I felt the covers being tugged off me and the cold air hitting my bare ankles and toes.

"Up and at 'em!" Kurama said cheerfully.

"How can you even be so cheery this early? It should be illegal," I said trying to get the covers from Kurama.

"No, I just fell asleep!" I whined. "Please can we skip school today just this once? Please! Hooky is not so bad.

"Well…"

What?! Was Kurama actually contemplating on skipping school? Am I still…sleeping? Oh well, if I am, please don't wake me up. I like this Kurama a lot better.

"What about my perfect-perfect attendance record?" He asked.

You're kidding me…right?

"Kurama, if it makes you feel any better, colleges don't look at your attendance records. They only look at your grades and grade point average and believe me, you have no problem there. I guarantee it."

Kurama began thinking it over once again.

"But what about Mr. Iwamoto? What if he talks about something that's going to be on a test and I missed it?"

Oh my god…should I beat him up now or later?

"Mr. Iwamoto will be trying to control that mutant vein of his. He never teaches anyway."

"You're always sleeping, so how do you know? I refuse to believe you actually pay attention," He asked me, giving me a sly look.

"Um…"

He got me there.

"I promise you won't miss anything and if you do, I'll make it up for you," I said sincerely.

"No that's ok! You don't have to do any of my work. You might mess it up anyway," Kurama mumbled the last bit.

"What was that last bit? I couldn't catch it? I'm awesome at school? What?" I sneered at him.

Kurama laughed nervously. It was…kinda cute…his laugh.

"Oh! What about Karasu?! He's coming over to pick us up like he usually does!"

"So? Let's just not open the door and…say we left without him!" I smiled widely.

"No, that's mean."

I frowned. "Your point?"

"I'm going to call him and tell him I'm not going today just so he won't walk all the way over here," Kurama said while picking up his cell phone.

"No. How about we let him walk all the way over here, knock like an idiot and cry while we laugh on the other side of the door? Sounds like a plan, hmm?" I chuckled at myself.

Kurama was silent for a while while he rummaged through his call lists on his phone completely ignoring my super awesome plan.

"Were you using my phone last night?" He suddenly asked me.

"I-no. I know nothing," I said totally being conspicuous of the fact that I did use his phone.

"Why did you call, of all people, Karasu, at 3:00 in the morning?" He asked me skeptically.

"Um…for haha's?" I answered with a smile.

"For…haha's? You…are such a female dog."

I stared blankly at him.

"What did you just call me?"

"A female dog."

"A tramp?"

What the flip was a female dog and how was it relevant to what we're talking about?

"You know…"

"No…" I replied slowly.

"A…you know…b-word…"

"Bird?" I answered.

"Yes Hiei, bird!" He answered sarcastically.

"Then what is it?" I asked.

"A bitch!" He yelled. He covered his mouth quickly and hoped his mother wasn't anywhere in the house.

"You said bitch. Your…first "bad word". You've… become a man, Kurama. I think your balls just about dropped," I said giving him a congratulatory pat on the shoulder.

"My mouth is all so tingly. Is that supposed to happen when you say bitch?!" Kurama asked feeling on his lips.

"Ok calm down there skippy. You can't just go calling everyone a bitch unless you wanna get jumped. And I know all about getting jumped because only cool people get jumped and I'm cool as you already know," I said smugly.

Kurama just stared at me.

"Yeah and I'm sure you of all people know what it's like to be cool," I answered his silence with sarcasm.

At that moment, the doorbell rang.
