Chapter 10: Can I Get Cleaned Up In Peace, Please?

Kurama's POV

Breakfast was loud and noisy as usual. Everyone was recovered from their drunken state. I still had a headache...but it was cleared up by the coffee. Still have that puzzle to fix...and I had an important piece at my fingertips...should talk to Hiei about it. Yusuke was messing with Keiko again...too bad for him Keiko's not a morning person. /SMACK/...actually...she acts this way all the time...nevermind. Japanese girls tick me off at times. They're always so happy and perky. /Shudder/...stupid fanclub. I'm so glad I'm out of school for a couple of weeks. Girls like Botan piss me off. Girls like Shizuru rule...but I wouldn't want to get them pissed. Keiko is okay sometimes...when not screaming "Yusuke!" /Twitch/...Kuwabara is bugging the shit out of Yukina. He's lucky...the girl has her brother's quiet nature...without the rage...I think it would be so funny to see her acting like Hiei. /Breaks into a fit of laughter/...(Hey, you would too if you imagined Yukina calling Kuwabara "Fool", saying "Hn", and Glaring.)

"Hey Kurama...you okay?" Yusuke asks...I hadn't realized I was laughing out loud.

Everyone was staring at me.

"Uh...yeah Yusuke." I smiled innocently. "I'm going to take a shower now."

Shizuru followed me.

"What was so funny?"

"I imagined Yukina with Hiei's attitude and your brother's condition if she was."

"That's SOME thought...how is the little guy?"

"I left him sleeping."

"You look worried."

"It's Hiei...he'll be alright."

"Or so you hope."

I smile and walk to the bathroom. The water is so warm...this is Heaven. I can sit here and relax.../Sigh/

"Kurama!"

DAMN IT!

"Yes Botan?"

"Is it safe for me to come in?"

OH F''' ME! F''' ME HARD!

/Twitch/"Sure."

"Hello. Are you enjoying your bath?"

/Muttering/..."i was?"

"I wanted to talk to you..."

"I'm NAKED in the shower...can you please come back when I'm presentable?"

"You look fine."

Why do I have to take the seeds out of my hair when I bathe! Where is my F'''ing Rose Whip when I need it.

"Botan...leave the man alone."

THANK YOU GOD! Shizuru deserves some credit too.

"But why?" ...Stupid DEATH!

Once again...Thank you Shizuru. I didn't know Blue hair can be used for dragging.

"Thank you Shizuru."

"No problem kid."

Hn...that was close...DID I JUST HN! Damn it Hiei, I'm picking up your lovely manerisms! I can use sarcasm fluently too...GREEAAT! I'll finish up before I'm INTERUPTED...AGAIN!

"Kurama!"

Oh NO...OH NO...OH! NO! I was just done with Botan...and now the only MORE ANNOYING person in the group was heading my way! ...Kuwabara.

"LEAVE THE GUY ALONE! DAMN! HOW WOULD YOU LIKE IT IF YOU WERE BATHING AND SOMEONE INTERUPTED YOU EVERY FIVE MINUTES!"..."Can it be Yukina?"....Kuwabara got his head bashed in by Shizuru Once again THANK YOU SHIZURU. He's lucky Hiei's asleep.

Back to relaxing.

Hiei's POV

Well, this is a lovely way to wake up. You can have your birds and dewy flowers any day...as long as I get the sound of Kuwabara's head being bashed in. I got up and sat on the windowsill, I thought my head would clear up if I did. Kurama walks in...well actually RUNS in and locks the door. He's in his bath robe...I wonder what's going on. He turns around, heaves a sigh, and slides to the floor. I'm looking at him with slight confusion.

"What happened to you?" ...He looks at me smiling.

"You're awake."

"Hn." ...No, I'm asleep but fully conscious...(There's Your Sign! Lol.)

"Botan is following me...Kuwabara is following me...even into the shower."

Kurama is funny at times. He's so nice to people that he allows them to trample on his privacy...but I didn't know it can go that far.

"Hn." ...I was amused... "Get dressed Kurama...it's cold." He takes my advice...naturally I keep my head turned to the opposite side as he changes.

"So, how are you feeling now?"

"Hn."

"Good to know."

"Hiei?"

"Hn?"

"Let me get those bandages off for you so you can go shower, you'll be completely restored after that...word of warning though...lock the door."

/Smirk/ "Baka!...I'll be okay kitsune, I am fully capable of taking them off on my own."

"You sure?" ...Um...No! Can I get a lifeline?...Stupid ningen small talk.

"Hn."

"As you wish."

Kurama's POV

I felt much better after my shower. I ran like no tomorrow to my room. Hiei was up...I was relieved. 1.Because he's feeling better. and 2.Because I had someone who can easily deep fry Kuwabara and Botan and had good reason to do so...as I always say...choose your friends wisely. I lucked out on Hiei. Of course he laughed at my pain...well smirked...it's Hiei.

I respected his wishes in removing the bandages on his own. Afterall, Hiei wasn't one to take sympathy lightly...I knew that so I left him do it...under my watchful eye, unknown to him...I pretended to read a book...I had something to say to him...but, I didn't know how to start the conversation.

Hiei's POV

Something was on Kurama's mind and I knew it...For one thing...he was holding the book upside down...so I knew he wasn't reading. The bandages were hard to undue...no doubt he was enjoying watching me struggle with them...baka kitsune. I got done with them after much pain and decided to take a shower...not saying a word as I exited the room.

Kurama's POV

It can wait until he gets back. I'm sure the explaination will take longer than the shower...WHAT LANGUAGE IS THIS BOOK WRITTEN IN!

"Fox?"

"Hmm?"

"Your book is upside down."

/Anime fall/
